I am seriously considering writing an E-book
by AK - Jeff init is wise for a first time writer to write about what he knows, so i will write about my lifetime as a jehovah's witness.
but it will likely be less autobiographical and more about the sub-level markers that eventually pointed me out of the cult, doctrinal matters that bothered me under the surface, and the very real lack of love in that organization.. ideas?
thoughts?

Who first applied Daniel 9 to the Christian's Jesus?
by Doug Mason ini am seeking information, not an exegesis or an eisegesis.. .
"somewhere", i came across a statement identifying the person/group that first interpreted the 70 "sevens" of daniel 9 as identifying the year of jesus' appearance as the "messiah".. .
try as i might, i cannot relocate that information, so i am hoping someone can point me to authoritative sources that identify the person/group who first provided that interpretation, and hopefully the contemporary context.. .

ok, full disclosure: i'm writing a novel, and the subject is rutherford.. back when several posters like leoleia and farkel were posting stuff about rutherford's private life and travels, many people commented that this would make a really great book.
