  Just read that Carl Olof Jonsson died yesterday

  for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?

  he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.

  the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

  Now he pretends that days weren’t reckoned as starting from the previous sunset to try to convince readers that I got ‘3 April’ wrong. 🤦‍♂️ That is the day of 4 April, doofus. (Even his precious Watch Tower footnote mentions “April 3/4”, but dishonestly pretends that wasn’t because Adar II had already been added.) And he shoots himself in the foot because citing P&D simply confirms that Nisan of 588BCE definitely didn’t begin in May. 😂

  Pierre’s responses are even more pathetic. ‘Maybe Hillah is in a different direction’ (but there is irrigated farmland in the other directions anyway). 🤦‍♂️ And no, the modern city of Tyre isn’t in a different location, and includes the Sidonian Port that was used to conquer the city from the north after the causeway plan failed (and the heritage protected area in the south-west are Roman ruins). Just go away.

  Haha. Poor ‘scholar’ really seems to believe that something that literally never happens happened in just the right year to support JW dogma. Despite the fact that JWs know the Memorial is always in March or April. 😂

  And the claim about Nisan beginning in May in the footnote isn’t from the source ‘scholar’ cites, it is only an assertion by Watch Tower. And Parker and Dubberstein’s tables do not indicate the year starting in May either. Nisan of 588BCE began in the evening of 3 April. But in the year indicated in VAT4956, 568BCE, Nisan began 23 April. In both cases this was because Adar II had already been added so that Nisan wouldn’t begin too early. Such a liar!

  You didn’t quote any verses. The verses you cited don’t mention 70 years of exile.

  Fisherman:

  Still waiting for you to back up your claim that I've employed logical fallacies too.

  Read.

  I suppose it's possible that I overestimated his skills and he legitimately does not understand the request...

  Fisherman, in order for you to demonstrate that I have employed a logical fallacy, you need to:

  1. Quote something I said.
  2. Specify the type of fallacy purportedly employed.
  3. Explain why the quoted statement is fallacious.

  Fisherman:

  I have already specifically rebutted the Watch Tower Society's attempts to defend 607.

  No you haven’t.

  Such obvious lies. Already linked responses to their nonsense on this thread earlier today.

  And, no, you have not demonstrated where I have employed any logical fallacies.

  'scholar':

  The Bible clearly shows that the 70 years was a period of Exile when the Jews were deported to Babylon leaving behind a desolated homeland in accordance with Jeremiah's prophecy.

  I'm sure you'll be able to quote the verse that indicates 70 years of exile then. 🙄😂

  Fisherman:

  Im interested in proof and not rehashing the same argument wt has already rebutted.

  The Watch Tower Society's attempts to defend its doctrines are pathetic. I have already specifically rebutted the Watch Tower Society's attempts to defend 607 BCE in 2011, 2012 and 2013, and their 2014 attempt to defend their false beliefs about 1914. I am not aware of any Watch Tower Society rebuttals to those.

  Still waiting for you to back up your claim that I've employed logical fallacies too.

  🤦‍♂️ Yeah, it’s so ‘clear’ that only JWs (and some extremely minor sects affiliated with the Bible Student movement) believe the 607BCE nonsense. 😂 And JWs lie to such a great extent about it that they even claim that Nisan began in May of ‘588BCE’ (The Watchtower, 1 November 2011, p. 28), even though they know very well that their supposedly ‘most important day of the year’ never begins in May.

  Again nonsense for Rolf Furuli has demonstrated that VAT 4956 has been dated incorrectly and can now be used as evidence in support of 607 BCE.

  😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
  

  Pathetic.

  And the same goes for Fisherman’s unsophisticated response.
