No one has mentioned that 1914 plus 1290 days does NOT equal 1919.
5 years *365 days = 1825 days. Or if you say 4 and a half years you have 1643 days. I don't see either of these numbers in the Bible.
This was one of the major points that I doubted when I finished Gilead: Where the hell was 1919 in the Bible?

I thought the same thing. Someone actually asked it of one of the instructors. (Liverance) And we got smokescreened. As usual.
I think the GB should give up on trying to prove dates and just insist that's when it happened. At least they can just admit they make shit up!
1914 607 x1919=FAIL!

Ahh that's where you're going wrong, see? The 1,290 days don't run from 1914.
"The League was officially proposed in January 1919. At that time, then, both conditions of Daniel 12:11 were met. So the 1,290 days began in early 1919 and ran until the autumn (Northern Hemisphere) of 1922." - Daniel book, p.300
To be exact (I hope you're taking notes - there'll be a test on this later):
"... the peace conference that paved the way for the League of Nations met on January 18, 1919 ...
If, now, we measure 1,290 days from that marked date, January 18, 1919, when the eight representatives of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society were still under restraint in the Atlanta federal penitentiary, where do we end up? According to the Bible, those 1,290 days are the equivalent of three lunar years and seven lunar months. According to the lunar calendar, January 18, 1919, fell on Shebat 17, 1919. Three lunar years from then would lead up to Shebat 17, 1922, or February 15, 1922. Seven lunar months counted from that would end with Elul 16, 1922, or at sundown, September 9, 1922. So did the 1,290 days or three lunar years and seven months end at a significant time? The historical facts answer Yes! ... " - World Government, p.136,137
And the world shattering, pivotal historical event these 1,290 days led up to was ... YES, you guessed it ... Cedar f$%&*@! Point Ohio!
AnnOMaly,
Cedar Point Amusement Park is AWESOME!!!! I was last there in 2000, the first year of Millenium Force.
I doubt Cedar Point was that exciting in 1922. JWs need to rework the math. If they're gonna stick with Cedar Point, they gotta tie the date to one of the rollercoasters! They are WAY more exciting than some cornball Watchtower Corporation convention.
Anywho, it looks like scholar has left the building... again. Maybe he's gone to Cedar Point to try to find some ancient secrets hidden in the coasters... kinda like in "National Treasure" or "DaVinci Code".
