Jgnat...WOW, ......great summery ! Thank You...
For us, it's an excerise in finding facts and truth on this issue. For the WBTS it's their whole foundation and survival and the reason for their judgmental attitude on those who reject their eschatology.
However, for me, it's also a call to those JWs who are so sincere to do the right thing, who may be losing faith because they see the error, and prayers they don't throw Christ out with the bath water.
Shalom

Is this better?

Yes, better! However, I'm still not sure about why 'DJ' is slotted in at the 575 mark for the 'Ethos' bar. His matches the WTS bar. And everyone agrees that the temple was rebuilt some time after the 540 mark.
By the way, jgnat, I think you are one of the most insightful and wisest posters on the forum. When you post, I take notice.

OOPS! I have DJ twice on Ethos' bar. I'll fix that.
Ann O'Maly, babe, I sit up and take notice of your posts, too. You are a first-rate researcher.

One thing that a person can conclude about the WTS. and its derived date of 607 BCE, these men were not well scholared bible theologians,
its almost like they schooled themselves on their own initiative, then gathered what they had and put it all to print, giving themselves a stamp of
truthful bible interpretation.
Its almost like a drunken lawyer came up with some of these doctrines or even a poorly educated clothing salesman.

Since Ethos is Recovery, this locked thread should give some background behind the JW apologist and his mindset:
