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

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.
schizophreniform.
like schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder is a type of "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined.
it also affects how people think, act, express emotions, and relate to others.. .
Compliance with a set of delusional religious beliefs and practices should not be so quickly conflated with a specific psychiatric diagnosis.

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

What your pretty chart on WT/JW chronology shows that our Chronology has a certain validity and that difference in comparison to other schemes only differs by a few years or at least 20 Years. Your chart is well constructed and I will make good use of it in my defence of our wondrous Bible Chronology. Thank You!!
"a few years or at least 20 Years" 🤣
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.
Every time you try to 'defend' nonsensical WT chronology, you just come off looking dishonest and stupid. Good luck with that.

For the reason that you have been influenced by COJ and your timeline does not accord with WT chronology.
I did get around to reading COJ's book around 2015, many years after I had established the timeline for the period. The fact that my timeline shows WT chronology to be erroneous is largely the point, and the fact that it is consistent with secular historians and other honest individuals is only because it is correct.

You introduced Stern so if there is a contradiction in his statements then that is not my problem.
There is no contradiction in Stern's statements. Most of the towns were destroyed, and the towns that were destroyed were not resettled throughout the exilic period. Some other towns were not destroyed and remained populated. If you imagine the statements to be contradictory, you quite definitely have a problem.
You need to focus on the fact that the judgement of Babylon only occurred after 70 years was fulfilled and that was not at its Fall in 539 BCE any other interpretation is fanciful. Also, the verse clearly indicated that the land of Babylon would also be desolated which did not happen in with the Fall.
Complete nonsense. The claim that Babylon was 'called to account' in some manner in 537 BCE is plainly stupid, and the land of Babylon wasn't desolated in 537 either, further invalidating your claim. Daniel 5:26-31 (written later but consistent with how the Jews regarded the period) quite clearly refers to the end of Babylon's days and being called to account when it was conquered in 539.

Why ask me such a question when you are such an expert so you must have an answer. The answer is simple. By the time Neb received his first dream in 606 BCE or thereabouts based on Dan 2:1, Daniel had already been in Babylon for at least 11 years having completed his three years of training becoming unlike yourself, a very wise man. As to whether he was known to Neb during that period of training and thereafter I do not know as I unlike you I am unfamiliar with the protocols of the Babylonian Court system.
Obviously Nebuchadnezzar didn't really know Daniel because Daniel is a fictitious character invented later as a trope for analogues to the Maccabean period. But aside from that, in the context of the story, Daniel was specifically appointed by Nebuchadnezzar as the chief of all things superstitious (Daniel 1:19-21; compare Daniel 5:11), so your attempted excuse for dodging even more flaws in Watch Tower chronology by suggesting that 'maybe Nebuchadnezzar didn't know him at any time' is plainly wrong.

Your timeline covers the Divided Monarchy and is part of Bible Chronology which should not be ignored as COJ does and WT scholars have always provided such a timeline.
Why are we talking about COJ all of a sudden? Watch Tower's timeline for the period is very very wrong as can be seen here (PDF).
The Decision Tables as a Methodology are from Rodger Young's research which in itself is incredulous, proving nothing in resolving the 586/587 dilemma, in short, such analysis is gibberish.
Nope. I've done decision table analysis on various aspects through the Divided Monarchy, independent of Young's research. Claiming it is not a valid method or that it something unique to Young just further demonstrates that you are inept at applying or understanding logic.
