Crack heads can communicate clearly with one another.
That is what we are missing here. The GB understand un-
mistakably what Daniel was saying.
Years ago, years ago when I smoked herbs I understood Rev. LOL

If I might ask, what Gregorian years do you end up with when you factor in the solstices and the equinoxes to the 360 day-years, when subtracting 607 and 587 years from 2520?

There are two predominate things Religious Charlatans exploit, one being the basic belief in the
bible as some spiritual holy book of truths (its not, its mostly full of embellished stories to incite
believability) and the basic ignorance established within the general public to believe men who proclaim they have been
chosen to unlock the true understanding and interpretation from out those written words.
.
The WTS/JWs is just but one of those group of men of many self avowed unto themselves with that intent
in mind.
The majority of people can see through this commercialized fraud going on here and simple look the other way,
the reason why the JWS have only 8 million members world wide when its been preaching intensively
for over a century.

We all know that jwfacts has info on this. At the bottom of one of the pages on this topic, there are extra links such as Carl Olof Jonnson's rebuttals to the WT's arguments against his book. Great stuff! The key in discussion is getting them to admit "if" 70 years of desolation could possibly mean something else that still lines up with scientific data.

Island Man
Notice this very interesting quote from volume I of the Isaiah book:
*** ip-1 chap. 19 p. 253 par. 21 Jehovah Profanes the Pride of Tyre ***
Isaiah goes on to prophesy: “It must occur in that day that Tyre must be forgotten seventy years, the same as the days of one king.” (Isaiah 23:15a) Following the destruction of the mainland city by the Babylonians, the island-city of Tyre will “be forgotten.” True to the prophecy, for the duration of “one king”—the Babylonian Empire—the island-city of Tyre will not be an important financial power. Jehovah, through Jeremiah, includes Tyre among the nations that will be singled out to drink the wine of His rage. He says: “These nations will have to serve the king of Babylon seventy years.” (Jeremiah 25:8-17, 22, 27) True, the island-city of Tyre is not subject to Babylon for a full 70 years, since the Babylonian Empire falls in 539 B.C.E. Evidently, the 70 years represents the period of Babylonia’s greatest domination—when the Babylonian royal dynasty boasts of having lifted its throne even above “the stars of God.” (Isaiah 14:13) Different nations come under that domination at different times. But at the end of 70 years, that domination will crumble. What will then happen to Tyre?When 70 years for Tyre is not literally 70 years. Is Watchtower hypocritical or what!

Your old school of thought just lost the test of time. Historically we can get the 607 archeological sequences in without any hard core charts of the 7 times, and the Sabbath cycle. You can no longer disprove 607. Perhaps you intelligent people like besty can get a theologian with a degree in history, bribe that person, it shouldn’t cost more than 2 million and have that person discredit the entire historical community about the Babylonian chronicles VAT 4956, BM 22047, BM 21946, or how the bible talks about the desolation of the land of Judea or just Jerusalem is unsubstantiated double talk by junior theologians. Its time to get yourselves another champion because Jeffro‘s theory was nullified by me, and what makes it worse according to besty, I’m an uneducated moron with faulty grammar. That just adds more salt to Jeffro’s wound. You people need to pickup his ego. For now all he can do, is insult me. Oh well, that’s life!!!!!!! I hope Jeffro is not a book author. Now that would really hurt.

leaving_quietly said: WTBTS published a new article on jw.org (http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/daniel-4-bible-chronology-1914/) entitled "What Does Bible Chronology Indicate About the Year 1914?"
In other words, "How to Make the Bible Say What We Want it to Say" by the WTBTS.
My aunt was born in 1914. She is dead. So are all these people:
So Jesus has been ruling for 100 years. WTF has he been doing? Answer: NOTHING
