I'm going back to the JW's (page 2)

Calliope

i almost skipped this thread entirely out of pure anger and frustration!
i thought, there's no way any intelligent person would go back to that jw perfunctory way of life after all the evidence against the org.

i'm so glad i did read it!!!
i'm in the process of getting together all the references to prove the date is wrong to one of my "well-meaning" wit friends who thinks she can prove me wrong.
i should post our email conversations here so you can get some reality tv à la JWD.

Dear KW13..
I was thinking of you lately, and wondering when it was you were going to share everything with her. How did the conversation end?? Is she open to more discussion?? The great thing is that this will eat at her. And she will want answers. That is when she will reach for the Kingdom Come Appendix to explain it all away. But Alans research on the refutation to the Appendix will blow it out of the water paragraph by paragraph. Keep us posted!!
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty

Your help has been invaluable to me. Things are going great and she wanted to discuss it more tomorrow, i said good night to her and we were actually ok with each other, i think that helped!

I am a Watchtower Scholar, schooled in the Bethel University under professor T Jaracz. In reviewing your work, I realized the mistake you made which is pretty common with the those 'uneducated' in higher organization mathematics.

Nabonidus ruled Babylon until it fell in 539 B.C. to Cyrus.

Labashi-Marduk ruled for 9 months.

Neriglissar ruled for 4 years.

Evil-Merodach ruled for 2 years.

Nebuchadnezzer ruled for 43 years.

17 years + 9 months + 4 years + 2 years + 43 years = 66 to 67 years.

Starting at 539 B.C. and going back 66/67 years we arrive at 605/606 B.C. for the start of the reign of Nebuchadnezzer.

2nd Kings 25:8-10 tells us that Jerusalem was destroyed in the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzer's reign, so if we go forward 19 years from 605/606 B.C. we will have the approximate years of the destruction of Jerusalem.

Nineteen years after 605/606 B.C. brings us to 586/587 B.C. which agrees with all secular evidence.

17 years + 9 months + 4 years + 2 years + 43 years = 66 ~ 67 years

539 bc + 66 ~ 67 years = 605/606 years

605/606 bc - 19 years = 586/587 bc. .???????

The last step is where most 'uneducated' laymen make their mistake..... you forgot to factor in the bov-delta symbol which is necessary to arrive at a correct date when working with ordinal numbers in the pre-common era. (this corrective factor was discovered in the mathematic departments in UWNY and Patterson University under the leadership of Prof. K.Klein and distiguished Prof. F.Franz)

Let me demonstrate the formula....... $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$ but for simplicity we shall substitute the bov-delta symbol........

So lets do the math again 605/606 bc - 19 years /

I'll see you at the kingdom hall honesty.

you almost had me lol...

i always found this topic tedious but it's spelled out so easily here.

MsMcDucket

Carpenter! You're da' man! Right on! The bull dropping pic is priceless!

Honesty

That's the new WATCHTOWER SYMBOL

Bulls hit really does confuse people.

Honesty

note honesty, how you STILL fail to mention why you scared us all like that

errrr..... sorreeee.

Just trying to shake scholar jw out of his tree.

Honesty

Your arithmetic is breathtaking and your argument is really sound so now we have it firmly established that Jerusalem fell in 586 or 587 BCE but we still do not know the precise year. But of course that is of no importance for chronology because exact or precise dates are unimportant. By the way what year were you born? Was it this or was it that or was it somewhere between.

Your methodology based upon the pagan Babylonians is torpedoed by a much simpler biblical calculation . The year 537 was the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon where they were exiled for 70 years. Therefore adding 537 +70=607 BCE for the beginning of the exile with the fall of Jeusalem. This calculation is simpler than yours and foolproof. Irrefutable!
