  The timeline actually demonstrates that WT chronology has no validity and is out by 20 years (extending to 68 years by Solomon's time) for purely dishonest reasons.

  --

  No. it is a Chronology with just as much validity as any others- worthy of criticism and careful which is what you are obsessed with namely WT Chronology. Your obsession with the subject demonstrates its validity, does it not?

  ---
  Every time you try to 'defend' nonsensical WT chronology, you just come off looking dishonest and stupid. Good luck with that.

  Your claim not to have read COJ prior to 2015 is incredulous but whatever the case you must have come across information that was derived from COJ's research. Your timeline certainly shows the validity of JW Chronology and the fact that it is inconsistent with others is simply opinion which is common to scholarship where experts seldom agree.

  You can't even understand the concept of 'many towns were destroyed and some weren't' so I wouldn't expect you to understand that two different people can independently arrive at the correct result.

  Since I've put together timelines presenting both the correct chronology and the JW chronology, I anticipate further confusion on your part given your propensity for garbling context.

  Where's the nonsense? The WTS clearly say that God's judgment on Babylon happen in 539.

  “The idol-worshiping Babylonians now were in line for God’s judgment to be executed upon them. That happened in 539 B.C.E

  --

  Agreed. Babylon certainly received a judgement in 539 with its Fall but Jeremiah focussed on a more permanent judgement, one of desolation foretold from Jer.25: 12 onwards.

  Jeffro.

  It is up to you to interpret Stern for his description which remains problematic for scholars for this period as shown by various archaeologists having different interpretations of the state and nature of Judah during the period of Exile.

  Yes, and I would use both schemes together to show the current state of scholarship and the state of confusion common to Bible Chronology.

  🤣 Sure, that's why it's so highly regarded by actual historians, who regularly cite and endorse Watch Tower Society chronology. That's sarcasm by the way. 🙄
  

  worthy of criticism

  It sure is.

  Hahaha no, you dolt. I point out the errors in a straightforward manner to make it clear to other readers just how wrong JW chronology is, for the benefit of those questioning JW beliefs or in danger of getting roped in to the denomination.

  Your comment is immature and ignorant. There are many published Bible Chronologies for there is no one, uniformly accepted Bible Chronology for that is the nature of scholarship.

  --
  It sure is.

  Another stupid and dumb comment, not worthy of you at all. All Chronologies are subject to criticism and it is as it should be including your scheme.

  You are obsessed with WT Chronology as shown by your website so such obsession proves that our Chronology has substance as your pretty chart demonstrates.

  That's a bit like saying cancer is good because people research cancer.

    Well, cancer and its cure are both objects of research providing a cure and other benefits as with Bible Chronology whatever its source- an object of study and research producing many benefits such as faith in Bible Prophecy etc.

  🤦‍♂️No, especially in the case of JW beliefs, that's the disease, not the cure.

  In your analogy, people who endorse JW chronology are more like anti-vaxxers.

  Accepting JW chronology in the face of evidence to the contrary is not only detrimental in itself but also increases propensity for accepting other irrational ideas.
