How many here have actually received a response from the WTS, either by phone or letter, regarding the 607/587 B.C.E. discrepancy?

  It's the same old modus operandi: the person on the other end will not give you his name, but he will either ask you for yours and with what congergation your associate, and/or ask you to put your question in writing. The intent here is not to provide a good faith response, but to obtain your identity and to alert the elders in your congregation to meet with you.

  The reason I say that is, the new Jeremiah Book, has some pages, and questions that focus heavily on 607. One question goes, "Describe the Events of 607 B.C.E."

  The dream comment I would LOVE to give in answer to this question:

  "The events of 607 BCE go like this. It was Nabopolassar's 19th year and,

  "In the month Simanu the king of Akkad mustered his army and Nebuchadnezzar, his eldest son, the crown prince, mustered his army. They marched to the mountains of Za[gros, perhaps?]. The king of Akkad left the prince and his army there while he returned to Babylon in the month of Du'ûzu. After his departure, Nebuchadnezzar did battle at Biranati, situated in the mountains, captured Biranati, set it on fire, and took many prisoners. He conquered all of the mountains as far as the district of Urartu. In the month Ulûlu the prince returned to Babylon. In the month Tašrîtu the king of Akkad mustered his army and marched to Kimuhu, which is on the bank of the Euphrates. He crossed the river, did battle against the city, and in the month Kislîmu he captured the city. He sacked it and stationed a garrison of his in it. In the month Šabatu he went home.

  "As you can see, 607 BCE was a busy year for the Babylonians."

  It's (845)306-1000. The number for Patterson. Just ask for the Service Department. They will ask your reason for calling.
