I used to HATE Snarky!! Isn't it amazing how actually learning without WT goggles changes you for the better? Now self-righteous know-it-alls make me ill..

Marked. No, we can't just say "Marked", we have to give a talk that mentions this specific thread without mentioning any names, but only the situation, thus sending a signal to all who visit here to limit association with it.
"Some individuals believe the 'faithful slave' has failed in matters of Bible prophecy. They reason that the numbers don't add up. Perhaps they have been listening to some who think they are smarter than Jehovah and his organization. We would do well to turn away from such ones and continue trusting in and partaking in the fine spiritual food Jehovah has provided through the faithful and discreet slave."
There. Marked.

Also, if that's the Snarky Apologist, I rather like his videos, though I don't watch much ex-JW stuff on YouTube these days. He's a funny guy. I think I've commented on one of his threads at some point.

The JW apologists on Yahoo Answers are afraid to answer my question on the subject. So far only 2 have given non-answers. LOL.

Wow, Yahoo Answers looks like where all the action is with JWs. One person aknowledges to not doing the math, then makes a comment that a day off doesn't matter. If it were only one day, I would concur!

I don't pretend to be skilled with Excel although I used it a lot in my pre-retirement years. I retired some 11 years ago. Now, I'm using the freebee LibreOffice Calc and it seems to behave very similar to Excel.
My point? Some Watchtower apologist may bring up the 360 day year instead of the 365+ day year those video creators used by using Excel's standard date addition. I decided to see if Excel (it's more popular when you do a Google search for help) had some 360 day year function I could understand. Sure enough, they both have the DAYS360 function. Recall that the video using Excel's standard date function returned a date -- not the Watchtower target of Sept 5-13, 1922 but Aug 7, 1922. That's about a month difference.
Using, however, the DAYS360 function calculation returns 8/25/1922. Yes, it cuts the Watchtower error in half but still no bragging rights for the Society and the apologist. That's still a two week discrepancy from Watchtower's Cedar Point start date.

ps: I don't have time tonight to paste my calc trail. If it's important perhaps someone else can take the time -- which will confirm or crash my numbers.
