wtbts published a new article on jw.org (http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/daniel-4-bible-chronology-1914/) entitled "what does bible chronology indicate about the year 1914?
" in it, it points to daniel 4 as the prophecy and uses the same leaps of insane logic to get from the first and only fulfillment of that prophecy to 1914, using 607 as the starting point and 2,520 years as doubling the 1,260 years in revelation.
of course, there is no accounting for the difference in our solar years and the bible's lunar years, which makes the math have a very different outcome.
@Captain Obvious Jehovah's Witnesses do not need non-jw sources since they believe in the chronology as the bible says it is.
having said that..... secular non-christian scholars and scientists will also say that Adam and Eve , the flood, the tower of babel, Jonah in a big fish, the ressurrection of Jesus and most of the bible are myts, fables and fairytales.
i registered as a user (under an alias of course) but can't find a search bar anywhere on the site......i'm not a tech-savvy person, but usually can find what i need.
i will repost this question under the post "counteract jw.org august 2014 campaign" participating in that idea was what prompted me to open an account on the jw site in the 1st place.
other than that the whole thing makes me want to puke..
registering is only for those who need access on behalf of congregations. In that case you get more abilities
i saw this at the kingdom hall after the meeting.
"advertise, advertise, advertise!- christendom style".
.
the stickers and little business cards are not provided by the society but made by individual bro's
there was a letter read at the last meeting indicating a push to advertise jw.org door to door in august 2014.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/273040/1/four-boe-letters#.uv8l4vldv1e.
many of those who the witnesses prey upon will no doubt search for additional information on the internet.. let us use the extra attention against the watchtower!.
- there are many of us on active on this site.. - most of the widley used search engines (google, yahoo, bing etc) show autocomplete results.. .
@Ray i was referring to people like the topicstarter who think they can counteract a campaign conducted by 8 million people in 239 countries and territories

@fiddler No the mormons did not beat JW.ORG ! Compare the ranks of both sites and you will see. The last 12 months the rank of JW.ORG was constantly higher than LDS.ORG
the average ranking (last 90 days) in the world of LDS.ORG is 2269
And the average ranking (last 90 days) of JW.ORG is 1815
On statscrop.com (which use data from alexa.com) you can see what the position was over a longer time.
Also LDS.ORg gets its visitors mainly from the U.S (76%) and just a few other countries
JW.ORG gets its visitors 22.7% from the U.S and the rest 77.3% from other countries

@Julia their advertising of the website is going great. Look at Alexa.com or Statscrop.com to see the results. They are ranked within the top 2000 of the worlds most populair internet sites. There are literally 100's of millions of sites. In the category “Religion and Spirituality” there are about 87,000 websites, including those of the world’s major religions (like for example vatican.va) as well as religious publishers and other similar organizations. On that list jw.org ranks second. The only site in that category that tops the is the bible itself. Biblegateway.com
Last January (with the issue of Awake magazine about JW.ORG) JW.ORG had an average of over 1 Million unique visitors per day. I can assure you that this coming august they will do better than that.
A couple of hundred or even thousands apostates trying to manipulate search results will be not more than a drop in a bucket.
You all suffer from Megalomania
i heard my witness friend that if the name jehovah is the incorrect pronounciation from the hebrew scriptures, then jeremiah is the incorrect way to say jeremiah's name.
i wonder if this is true, because if it is, that would make jws the true religion.
right?.
a study of jews about the pronunciation of Gods name YHWH http://www.karaite-korner.org/yhwh_2.pdf
i have heard rumors for over a year now that the wt is not going to have a 2014 dc.
i know they are having a circuit assembly and special day talk assembly but what about their yearly dc.

Get yourself some better sources instead of the ones that spread such rumors. Yes there will be International and District conventions
