    I noticed a number of fallacies with the 1914 doctrine. The 607 BC one is the one that's most blatant. But, where does it say that we multiply the 3 1/2 Times by 2? I couldn't find that. And, "a day for a year" is a very specific phrase that refers only to a specific punishment meted out when Moses would wander 40 years for the 40 days of rebellion. That has no other application. For sure, it is presumptuous to apply that to the present.

    Then they messed up on the length of the "days". You see, most years do not only have 360 days. That is the number they use, which is automatically going to lead one to the wrong date. Most years have 365 days, and the average (including leap years) is 365 1/4 days per year. That lengthens each "time" by five years and the quarter.

    Assuming the 3 1/2 times are multiplied by 2 (which itself is fallacious), you arrive at 2,556 3/4 years, not 2,520 (and that again misapplies the "day for a year"). Starting with 587 BC, you would arrive at early 1971 as the starting point, not 1914! Did anything notable start in early 1971? I don't think so.

    Perhaps whoever wrote that needs to go to first grade and learn math and science. First question: How many days does a regular year have? A leap year? How often do leap years come up? Perhaps then they would come up with a better answer--and allow for that maybe they weren't supposed to multiply the "times" by 2 after all.

    The 360 day year is an alleged prophetic calendar , the ancient jews even used it but would add a whole month whenever it was required , something like that .The year for a day part comes from other parts of the bible such as the part where jacob talks about a year for a day until he could marry the girl he wanted. Other parts also use that type of depiction .

    This has got to be one of the best things I have ever seen on the net. Keep up the good work. Oh and. 'Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.'

    Thanks for supporting Watchtower Comments by your positive ratings and comments. The few apologists out there are immediately hammered down, and have not been able to assail the content.

    Wow!!! Those are such beautiful words! Keep it up, V.

    You are doing a huge service to ex-JWs and JWs alike. Finally, we have some rational material out there that most people will not be automatically turned off by, not that random Christian apologist stuff or the WT-Mason-UFO garbage.

    The narrator's voice gets my attention.

    He has a sort of Columbia School of Broadcasting sound going on. Very snappy delivery. I like that little laugh near the end.
