  Thank you for doing the math Londo!

  I looooove the Excel formulas, I didn't know you could do that with dates and numbers, or I would have spared my brain a long time ago...

  How many people will sit there with a calender, or a calculator and do the math?

  Especially when going to five meetings a week, field serve-us, building kingdom halls, cleaning kh's, reading WT's and AW's, studying for meetings, going on shepherding calls, waiting for mates to get done with elder's meetings, etc... ????

  Those explanations always did hurt my brain..... Especially when they use 'vagueries' to explain very specific detailed prophecies.

  "Charlatans" ....

  "Con-men" ...

  "Pseudo-Intellectuals"...

  Wanting to be worshipped...

  Like Snarky said, "What makes me cry, are the people that actually follow them."

  "I look forward to any results you have."

  Here, Londo, is how I calculate using a 360 day year and you can try it on your Excel (or LibreOffice or OpenOffice machine).

  Place the following into a single cell: =DAYS360("1/25/1919","8/25/1922",1) with the cell formatted as Number. (you may substitute "true" for that value of 1)

  That cell will return a value of 1290. However, that the Cedar Point convention didn't begin on 8/25/1922 as this formula uses. Bad news for the Watchtower apologist who is hoping that a 360 day year will redeem Watchtower's calculation accuracy.

  As a different check, plug the following into a single cell: =DAYS360("1/25/1919","9/5/1922",1)

  There, using both Watchtower beginning and start dates you will see a calculated value of 1300, again not the 1290 that Watchtower likes either, this time using Cedar Point's beginning date of September 5, 1922.

  Here the critic might say that we're nitpicking. I say we're not the ones who've made those crazy mathematical statements. They should've known that math is unforgiving -- it either is or it isn't what you'd like it to be.

  Yes, you must use the 360 (lunar) day year to argue with them. You still win, however, based on the above post.

  Watchtower, 1960, 4/15 p. 251 par. 18 Part 36—“Your Will Be Done on Earth”
  The 1,290 days must be treated from the standpoint of the lunar calendar. Hence divine prophecy treats a month as being thirty days long, on the average.

  The GB uses these dates to prove they have been chosen by God and have fulfilled bible prophecies. When the math disproves what is taught and written, there is no escaping the fact… THEY ARE FALSE PROPHETS.

  Thank you Londo for helping me finally break away from the fear of contradicting the WT’s teachings!
