Billions of people may be smarter than me. But it doesn't require as much smarts as you probably think it does to understand this.

Do the math.

I did. It was pretty simple.

You stated you are attending college

No, I never said I was attending college. I haven't attended college for many years. If you were confused about the university account I use for JSTOR, etc., I have stated that it was an "alumni" account. Alumni means I already finished.

because you missed out on a wonderful life made in HOLLYWOOD.

Is that why you think people go to college? How did that work out for you when you went for those PhD's? I pioneered my way through college. I took 7 semesters of Hebrew, and I thought that my computer science degree would result in more choices of part time jobs, to continue pioneering. Instead I ended up with full time jobs, and retired about 10 years ago. No more college for me.

Essentially denying you a good future as if life has guarantees. Have it mean, something other than to boost your bruised ego.

If you are continuing to project, I apologize for bruising your ego.

God knows it, why continue to hide and lie to him, Adam.

Who is this Adam? Is this supposed to be another name you are guessing is me? If so, wrong again.

Let me try to lay this out for you (although this is more for any interested readers' benefit than for yours). The stars, planets, and Moon are components in a giant sky-clock that keeps perfect time.

Since love doesn't keep account of the injury and covers a multitude of sins, I will not go back and show you what you have actually said. Besides, I've never wanted to make this into a contest of who

The text V AT 4956 from year 37 of NEBUCHADNEZZAR II, which we have already discussed above, reports an 'eclipse that failed' for 4th July, -567. An eclipse was expected, but none occurred.

Yet the Watchtower says it is a fact that this eclipse actually occurred: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200274030/7/0

*** w11 11/1 p. 25 When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?—Part Two ***
It is a fact that a lunar eclipse occurred on July 4 (Julian calendar) of this month during 568 B.C.E.

So who is right? Your source or the Watchtower?

(By the way, you have had about a 100% failure rate so far in all of your attempts to give evidence for your false assumptions. If I remember correctly, this has also been true of every post you have ever made on this subject in every place on this forum on every occasion when it came up.)

Edited to add that the mistake made by your source [H. van der Waerden] is a common one that John Steele has explained and I see that others have also explained the same mistake.

The failure rate of 100% comes from you, since your ignorance can't calculate and comprehend what failures there are for VAT 4956. You attempt of misrepresentation of Watchtower literature that you already deploy is just one more example of your desperation to cling on to your false claims. 

I see you didn't dare answer the question: Who is right? Your source or the Watchtower?

Your source, H. van der Waerden, said it was the eclipse that failed, "An eclipse was expected. But none occurred." Yet the Watchtower says it was a fact that this same eclipse did occur.

All you could do instead of answering the question, is to claim that I misrepresented Watchtower literature in desperation. So who is desperate here to misrepresent the Watchower just because they are so desperate to claim that COJ was wrong?

From what I have seen so far, 100% of the things COJ says about the Neo-Babylonian evidence is 100% correct. I am pretty sure you probably already know this yourself, which is why no one has even tried to quote any specifics from COJ. You seem to prefer only vague claims. And now that you have finally claimed that this quote from 1974 is something he missed, you find out that the Watchtower didn't fall for this mistake claimed by your source, and neither did COJ.

So you say I am misrepresenting the WT on this point, but you won't dare to say how.

By whose standard of interpretation. If I use your misrepresentation of the Watchtower illustration, then I can say, you're extremely wrong.

I see that, again, you didn't dare answer the question: Who is right? Your source or the Watchtower?

As usual, you are using "wordplay" (by your definition) to avoid and evade answering the questions. Let's see if you are able to answer directly:

Did your source say that there was an eclipse reported for July 4, -567 that failed? Did it say that an eclipse was expected but did not occur? It's a YES/NO question so a simple YES or NO should suffice.

But I can pretty much assume that you will not stand by what you wrote when you quoted the author. I think you will either find an excuse to ignore this question or you will use "wordplay" to evade it, or backtrack.

And the second part of this question is this:

Did the Watchtower claim that an eclipse did in fact occur on that date? A simple YES or NO should suffice.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
