You seem an honest skeptic. I wonder if you'd like to discuss any of this at the real forum? Here's an example of my current challenge I have presented there...

Why you are so sadly mistaken
An objective discussion must be based on subjective facts. If you do have the capacity to grasp concepts such as "before" vs. "after", then you may qualify as someone capable of such discussion.
However, it appears you may require a bit of help in this department. If you read my previous post again, you will see that it plainly describes the timeline: FIRST Pastor Russell read the Scriptures themselves and thusly determined the 1874 date for the 2nd Advent. THEN AFTERWARD he discovered that the same Plan of the Ages depicted in the Bible is also wonderously shown in the architecture of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, right down to the same dates that he had PREVIOUSLY found in the Scriptures.
AFTER all this, many years later, this THIRD amazing corroboration was found in the architectural plan of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, which ALSO AGAIN showed us the exact same plan, and with the exact same numbers THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SHOWN IN THE PLAIN TEXT OF THE BIBLE ITSELF
MANY years later was the problem Joan found herself with: selective memory - having forgetten to mention any of these facts that really shouldn't have to be typed twice.
I'm still looking for any reasonable human being who can READ to tell me why these things are wrong, because I'm the biggest skeptic in the world, and indeed that's how come I FOUND this info in the first place - by seeking.
I would sincerely LOVE the opportunity to address each of your very fine questions you have asked. I would like to do it on the main forum if you would, otherwise here is fine. But I would like to do it only after I'm convinced that you can really read, and understand the concept of "before" and "after", and this could start with the simple admission that you did not realize that Pastor Russell DID NOT derive any Bible dates from the Pyramid, but simply FOUND Bible dates in the Pyramid.
I answer you because I am impressed with you. I did not think you would be able to return, and I still think once you look at the evidence, you will not return. After all, if you honestly address the evidence, you will be forced by your own conscience to make a decision that could make you appear as very fringy, cultic, even gullible.
After all, you are a Christian to begin with, right? Doesn't that mean the majority in this unbelieving world find you already "gullible"? After all, you come from "Arc" right? Even though some people think your home does not exist, you know it does. You believe in Arks right? Such as Noah's Ark? Well then, the world finds you a gullible minority. And as a Christian, you also acknowledge the Ark of the Covenant, right? Well then the world finds you an ignorant, gullible sort.
Now, will Joan and her sister continue to ignore the Ark of the Covenant being of the exact same cubic capacity as the Coffer in the Pyramid - and what that says to them? Will they have the courage to continue this dialoge at the Present Truth forum?
Yours in Truth,
