  JW's Defend 607 BCE Teaching!

  by tryingtoexit in

  my father (who's an elder) just sent me this link...and i'd like to get yall opinions on it before i call him back:.

  apostates and other opposers argue that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce, but in 587 bce, and provide what they claim is archaeological evidence to support this.

  if 607 bce is wrong, then the seven times prophecy ending in 1914 ce would be wrong also.. .

  Farkel, read some of the stuff by meteorologist Anthony Watts. He has some great stuff on calibration of weather stations etc. Villabolo, you can read too if you want. But i suppose you know more than a meteorologist.

  Pagans and heathens

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am interested in the pejorative sense that the terms pagan and heathen are bandied about as if they must only be understood to always mean a person having a non-christian or non-jewish religion.

  i suggest a reading of sources such as wikipedia would prove enlightening.. the term pagan is from the latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or "of the country.

  " as a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager.
