  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  ‘scholar’:

  Your imagination exceeds my imagination.

  It’s evident that many of my abilities exceed yours. 😒

  🤦‍♂️

  Poor deluded ‘scholar’. Wrong at every turn.

  I don’t see the Watch Tower Society abandoning their 1914 nonsense any time soon, but if they do it will be funny watching ‘scholar’ flounder about pitifully.

  ‘scholar’:

  WT methodology based not on numerous calenders but the Bible proves 607 BCE is the correct date.

  False equivalence. The Bible contains references to calendar systems, they aren’t ‘alternative methodologies’. Worse still, poor ‘scholar’ doesn’t seem to understand that the ambiguity he asserts would necessarily apply to the WT dating. And even worse, the WT nonsense is based on circular reasoning for their dogmatic selection of 537 BCE as the end of the period (which Russell just as dogmatically said was 536 BCE).

  Entirely false. I have clearly explained on the site why 587BCE is correct and 586BCE is not. But your error does say something about your inability to parse information.

  ‘scholar’:

  Your words not mine as an admission that there can be no certainty about 586 or 587 BCE.

  You can’t really be this stupid. If someone ignores the evidence that the earth is actually an oblate spheroid, then they might think the earth is flat. But acknowledging that some people think the earth is flat isn’t an ‘admission’ that the shape of the earth can’t be known.

  (In this analogy 587 BCE is the oblate spheroid supported by all the evidence, 586 BCE is a slightly incorrect alternative spheroid that doesn’t quite take in to account some evidence, and 607 BCE is the flat earth nonsense propounded by nutters who ignore all the inconvenient evidence.)

  The correct year is 587 BCE.

  Rattigan350:

  607 did not originate with the Watchtower or CT Russell. It started back in the 1820s.

  That is only ’accurate’ to the extent that it is entirely mundane. Adventists in the 19th century made stabs at dozens of years with convoluted calculations loosely based on Daniel. There’s scarcely a year of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that some nutty Adventist didn’t claim was ‘marked in scripture’. See also ‘Texas sharpshooter fallacy’.

  But you know who never said Jerusalem was destroyed in 607BCE? Russell. He said Jerusalem was destroyed in 606BCE. Because he didn’t know there was no ‘year 0’.

  ‘scholar’:

  That is what you admit in your Blog.

  No such ‘admission’ exists. Either you’re just lying, or you are taking something out of context.

  All of the evidence indicates 587 BCE. It is only if a person does not accept the evidence at all that no precise date can be identified.

  😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

  ’scholar’:

  I admire your confidence but you yourself on your Blog regarding this controversy admit that we cannot know the precise date of the Fall whether it is 587 or 586 BCE

  Not just delusional but an outright liar. Pathetic.

  JWs were saying 606 BCE until 1943 when the finally realised there was no year zero. They refused to change 1914, so they ‘changed’ history instead. 🤣

  It really will be funny seeing how ‘scholar’ behaves if they do drop 1914.

  And the correct year consistent with all of the evidence is definitely 587 BCE. Publication of Babylonian records confirmed the correct year decades ago, but various sources continue to simply repeat Thiele’s outdated chronology. No analysis of the records has pointed to 586 BCE in the last half a century.
