One thing you can come to a reflective conclusion about is that for organized religion to work such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, is that you have to lie little to make it functionally happen.
The Watchtower Publishing house made its religion work by placing Jesus has returned (1914) and mankind is now living in the last days on the front cover of many of its publications. Very alluring of a broad based statement to make but short on honesty in adherence to bible scripture.

Sorry I was rushed when writing the OP. I corrected the math in a subsequent post as follows:
The 1914 date as the date for the beginning of Christ`s rule was determined as follows:
2520 years minus 607 when Jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914
The problem is the 2520 years were lunar 360 day years totaling .... (2520 x 360) = 907,200 days
To convert prophetic lunar years to solar years we divide those 907,200 days by 365.25 and that gives us 2,484 actual years. Then we subtract 607 actual years to determine when Christ rule began
2484 years minus 607 when Jerusalem was destroyed = 1877 (accounting for no year zero) = 1878
