for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

I would rather base my Chronology on the Bible rather than theories and opinions of men.
🤣 You doggedly agree with a bunch of old men in New York. I have already provided a timeline of the period based only on the Bible, which just happens to agree with the best scholars on the matter (including scholars recommended by pseudo-scholar on this very thread) .

You really have mastered the art of being completely and utterly wrong to the point of embarrassment. Predictably, you will try echoing the same thing, but I’m in complete agreement with the scholars you claim to respect.

Gibberish: The 70 years was fulfilled at the ending of the 70 years marked by the return of the Jewish Exiles in 537 BCE The servitude began with the beginning of the Exile with the Jews being deported to Babylon for no other theory or viewpoint makes any sense. Babylon was already brought to account with the release of the Exiles after its Fall in 539 BCE and its eventual desolation as foretold by Jeremiah.
Good to see correct use of punctuation this time to indicate that what follows is gibberish. Doesn't change the fact that Jeremiah 29:10-14 makes your conclusion impossible, since attention is given to their return only after 70 have ended, at which time you insist that they were already there. But you will continue to simply ignore that plain fact.

Finally, an appeal to scholarship only after the said scholar gives you a source
hahahahaha. Don't try to pay lip service to scholarship, pseudo-scholar. Albertz provides exactly the same information for the Neo-Babylonian period as the timeline I've previously provided. The fact is, my own independent analysis is sound on its own merits and consistent with the scholarship you pretend to respect. You reject scholarship and cherry pick at single words that you imagine to be in support of your position though even the briefest analysis shows that to be a lie.

pseudo-scholar:
Please look at the title of the book, Rainer does not refer to Exiles- plural but Exile- singular so one Exile which he describes as a 'catastrophe'.
Hahahahaha. Yes, pay no attention to the actual content of the book that completely contradicts the Watch Tower Society's deluded chronology. Just look at one word from the title that pseudo-scholar likes. 🤣
Further, he refers to deportations but only ONE major Exile
Duh. The major exile occurred in early 597 BCE. Perhaps pseudo-scholar has forgotten that after that initial major exile, "No one was left behind except the poorest people of the land" (2 Kings 24:14).

False, the Bible clearly and unequivocally describes the 70 years as a Period of Exile or as many historians describe this period of Jewish History as the 'Exilic period'. Refer Rainer Albertz.
Okay, let's see what Rainer Albertz has to say... Israel in Exile by Rainer Albertz, page 81:

Rocketman123 (quoting NLT):
The land finally enjoyed its Sabbath rest, lying desolate
Except that isn’t what Jeremiah said. That’s from Leviticus 26:34-35. It is clumsy writing, but in addition to the period of nations serving Babylon for 70 years, the reference to Leviticus alludes to the fact that the period from Jerusalem’s destruction until the Jews’ return was 49 years (see full context of Leviticus chapters 25-26).

MeanMrMustard:
Jer 25:12 states the seventy years would end, then Babylon would be called to account. It says it explicitly, directly. You are just mistaken, as is the WT.
Given the directness of the statements at Jeremiah 25:11-12 (and others), it is granting him a lot of latitude to say he is "mistaken". More accurately, it is a delusion.
this should work.

Isn't it a 'virtual' convention? Do people need to wear a label card at home in case other people in the same house don't recognise them?

scholar:
Nope. The seventy years was a period of the Exile in Babylon, Desolation of the Land of Judah and Servitude to Babylon beginning with the Fall of Jerusalem in 607 BCE. and ending with the Return in 537 BCE. Nice and easy!!!
The only reason JWs say the Jews 'must' have returned in 537 BCE is because they count 2,520 years backwards from 1914 to arrive at 607 BCE and then count forward 70 years to arrive at 537. If you were a JW in 1942 before they realised there was no 'year 0' between 1 BCE and 1 CE 🤦‍♂️, you would be asserting that Jerusalem was destroyed in 606 BCE and that they returned in 536 BCE.
