Hi Friend,

I wanted to touch base with you on a couple of things here that seem to contradict each other.

:Regarding Carl, I agree that his conclusions are valid about the 1914 chronology. However, regarding honesty (or not) it is noteworthy that shortly after Carl presented his findings to the Society that admissions were made in Society literature that secular chronologist do not agree with the Society.

It is interesting to me that you note the Society's admissions that "secular chronologist do not agree with the Society" will failing to mention some rather important parts of this realization.

From what I figure Carl was DF *after* presenting his evidence to the Society. If this is true, than the "admission" is merely a warning to the readers/subscribers. Is there mention in the article that the chronology disagreement came from a JW who figured it out, and when trying to help the Society see some "new light", got kicked out (and the horrors that go with it) for his trouble. That's an interesting omission for "God's Organization". I'd put it real close to dishonesty but not quite.

:The Society honestly admitted that accepting secular findings would mean accepting a view contrary to its own.

And we all know what that means. You let anyone know your view differs and you are out.

Also, elsewhere you seem willing to maybe consider the WT's questionable deeds as "extreme incompetence". Well if this *is* the case then I would consider this some very serious "evidence" that this is nowhere near "God's Organization".

You are a smart fellow and I really believe you to be sincere in your faith. I do not understand your views sometimes.

Take care,
Julie
