I bet that wasnt meant as Jerusalems destruction though, it would have been either Nebs 1st year or the Babylons rise under his dad. As such it was nearly correct.

Where did Russell steal 606/7 BCE from ?
by Phizzy inthis is something i have wondered about, and our great poster stillin posed the question on another thread .
russell get the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 606/7 bce?
(he adjusted 606 to 607 when it was pointed out there was no year "0").. as in the main a plagiarist, rather than an original thinker, i guess he got it from someone else ?.

I think it was either a mistake on his part or else he thought he knew better based on a misreading of the 70 years in jeremiah.

I dont think these spoofs are very helpful tbh, especially with the gay overtones, unless you know something we dont. If you are going to post these at least make it very obvious that it is fiction so some lurkers dont go away with the wrong impression and then think apostates are evil liars.

Why is the world full of ATHEISTS?
by exWTslave inbible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.
(psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.
(wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.

Exactly what I was thinking, this is just another cult recruitment drive.
Were you ever even a JW? Or is this just a cynical attempt at cold calling?

Read the side effects carefully and honestly ask yourself if you got those side effects would it be worth it. Hint: they can have an adverse effect on your sex drive and abilities.

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

The skinny on the Leviathan and Rahab monsters
by Leolaia inthe primeval conflict myth is a staple of greek, hittite, canaanite, babylonian, and even hindu myth, and the canaanite version appears throughout the ot and even turns up in the christian apocalypse of revelation.
this post will survey the literary evidence of the myth in the bible and in ancient literature.
in revelation, jesus is the messiah-figure whose birth is depicted in ch.

Would she come back if we bribed her with money or other goodies?
it would sure make a lot of people very happy if he came back here with her considerable input.

i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.

Try making the decision to lead an evidence based life, going where the evidence leads.
Learn about critical thinking skills and logical fallacies (and apply it) so you develop a robust bullshit detector, this will save you from falling for BS so easily like we did when we were uber dub bible thumpers.

Can anyone disprove 607 BCE date using only the NWT and WT literature?
by Bart Belteshassur ini haven't come across any arguement that does not involve secular history and external references.
in fact the wt can not get to 607 bce without using external sources as in knowing that they need to get back from 1914 ce to 607 bce, and botching an argument using an external date as reference to create their start point at 537 bce.. i realize that to get the final date we must provide a fixed figure from somewhere which can only be a historical source, but the objective would be to disprove the wt flim flam.
once that is achieve we can use which ever fixed historical point they wish to chose.

The WTS cant arrive at 539 (the agreed pivotal date) without relying on external "secular" sources, there is no internal absolute dating in the bible that allows anyone to date this thing, so they have to go external even for that.
Off the top of my head, there's zechariah 7: 1-5 that mentions 70 years (since the temples destruction), but it is in the reign of Darius (518) so the bible doesnt allow for it to be 607 just based on that one verse. (518 +70 = 587ish)
But as said above, cult mind control etc wont allow some jw cult drones to accept any amount of evidence.
