  False. Jeremiah was all about the Exile(s) for it occurs 30 times as listed in the NWT so one can readily see that 'the Exile' was thematic in Jeremiah's prophesying.

  
  It's not that Jerimiah was or was not "all about" the Exile. He talks about it. But he doesn't equate it to the 70 years.
  
  

  The ch.25 clearly describes the Exile and its consequences of exiles or deportees having to leave a desolated or ravaged landscape and being bonded or made to serve the conquering power, Babylon as other nations also were made to do.

  
  The consequences of the exile is irrelevant to this topic. But again, above, you equate the exile with the servitude. The servitude started long before the exile, and its the servitude that lasted 70 years.
  
  

  This means that Jeremiah, Ezra, Daniel all described the 70 year period of Exile as also a period of a desolated land, servitude to Babylon during the exile in Babylon.

  
  No, it's literally the opposite.

  What Do You Know of JWs Getting Away With Stuff?

  i realized that teenagers and young witness adults were getting away with murder per my daughter.

  she told me that all these exemplary young people featured at assemblies and conventions were not real good examples.

  after she got married years ago to a “ worldly “ man, she told me about all the kids who were fornicating and getting drunk and high, including elder’s kids.

  Definitely true. The last congregation I was a part of saw every teen kid disfellowshipped at least once for sexual matters. It was like a fregan revolving door. The other kid just left, never baptized. The greatest offenders were the elder's children. Sounds like your daughter, and her friends, were better at hiding it.

  You only have one-third of the story for you have forgotten the 70 years of Exile and the land desolate for the Exilic period.

  There is no requirement from Jer 25 for the seventy years to equate to that of exile and desolation; actually quite the opposite, as it's applied explicitly to many nations, and applied to the time of Jer 25 before the last exile. 2 Chron doesn't require it, nor does Daniel.

  This has been covered ad nauseum - a plain grammatical reading of the scriptures fits perfectly fine with secular history. The WT's version of events is another story...

  @scholar:

  70 years of servitude, of many nations, as vassals. You're still wrong.

  Based on current rap culture, which according to everything moral and good in the world, is the right way to view women, I'd say this shirt is basically a very positive message.

  What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?

  back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.

  some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.

  women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

  I'll let you hazard a guess : rate, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is super hot, the looks of both the waxer and the Karen.

  And then deduce the likely motivation.

  My wife's friend was counciled for getting a bikini wax.

  It was only a big deal because a KH Karen overheard it in a conversation and felt that she had a duty to keep the congregation clean ... and hairy.
