I have answered your question and now you complain like a girl.
He’s sexist too. 🤷♂️ Hardly a surprise from someone in a sexist organisation.
if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

Nebuchadnezzer's madness and absence from the throne must have occurred sometime shortly after his 18th year 607 BCE and the beginning of the reign of his eldest son, Evil-Merodach in 580 BCE. Thus, I propose that it occurred during Nebs' 19th-32nd years of his reign which would be 606 BCE -593 BCE. it was during this period according to Josephus that Neb. besieged Tyre and it is most likely that Neb's son Evil 0Merodach or Amel -Marduk reigned in his place during Neb's vacancy..
‘“Must have occurred” … “it is most likely” … so I’m marking that as a fail because it is just speculation with no evidence and you didn’t specify a period of 7 years. Additionally, placement of this seven years inside the supposed ‘greater fulfilment’ Is contrary to the alleged significance of the latter.
Now I have a question: Do you accept the historicity of Neb's tree dream described in detail in Dan. 4 including Neb's banishment from his throne for 'seven times' or seven years?
😂 Of course not. The tale borrows elements from a story about Nabonidus, and there is no evidence whatsoever that any such event occurred. Desperate to find support, apologists occasionally cite an obscure claim that Nebuchadnezzar ‘made strange decrees’ as ‘evidence’, but this bears no similarity to him going off to live in the wild. Honest readers can read further at Seven Times and The Watch Tower Society’s 2014 attempt to defend 1914.
Now, please forward your next question and do not bother me with access to older posts. Just pose the question.You bore me. Your non-answers are predictable and I see no point in expending further effort. I already posted links to previous questions and you couldn’t be bothered following those. There is nothing to learn from you on this subject and the only point of sending you questions you can’t answer is to watch you flounder. The worst part is that you imagine your non-answers are valid responses, so in the end you learn nothing. It is of some benefit to onlookers though so maybe another time.

There's a few questions for the non-scholar to non-answer. 🤣
Bonus question: during what specific range of years were Nebuchadnezzar's alleged 7 years of madness? Hint: it can't be during any period where there are actions attributed to Nebuchadnezzar.

Accept this challenge.
I'm not particularly swayed by this fallacious appeal to pride either.

Haha. There’s a whole slew of threads with questions you have not answered.
Mighty? What a joke.

And yet you still have no answers, only trite nonsense in response.

What I figure is that your nonsense is more akin to that of the Adventists.
That makes no sense. Please tell me you realise that your end times beliefs are Adventism.

‘scholar’ responding to Bruce’s series of questions is like a cow staring at an oncoming train. To spoil the ending, the big reveal is that the travel time to and from Jerusalem means they couldn’t have been ‘at Babylon’ for the full 70 years anyway. Which would be yet another problem in the JW chronology, but the bigger problem is that it would be nonsensical to ‘turn attention to their return’ after 70 years if they were by then already there.
