was listening to bbc radio 4 late sunday night, and in a programme about migration, they referenced the "babylonian conquest of jerusalem in 607 b.c.
" which caught my attention.. did they not mean 587 b.c., or did i understand it wrong?.
the link to the programme is below - sorry if you're not in the u.k. as you probably won't be able to listen to bbc programmes.
I doubt they looked at an old source, why would they? We'd be talking about a book from the 19th century!
Either someone got it from JW literature or from a pro-JW site. No one else talks about 607.
All historians site 586/587BC or 587BC as the correct date for the fall of Jerusalem. And all historical/Wiki websites do the same.

Thanks Searcher.
Have posted that link on JWR (credited to your good self) on a thread I've started there on this nonsense.

I have it as an MP3. How do I upload the section?
You could use SoundCloud:
Then post the link here.

Clicking on Show more it states:
Producer: David Prest and Gil Percival
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4
But as they made this for BBC Radio 4, the form linked below probably is the best way of raising this:

I'm going to drop them a polite message and ask that they to broadcast a correction. This is the problem when a publishing house like the Watchtower prints made up history to support its doctrine - it can end up in the mainstream. The BBC is a public service broadcaster so it is vital they get subjects like history correct and need to be held to account when they don't.
Unbelievable.

"the earth is suspended in empty space.
(job 26:7) many ancient peoples believed that the world was a flat disk supported by a giant or an animal, such as a buffalo or a turtle.".

On a different but related point, the WT likes to suggest that Isaiah 40:22 says:
There is One who dwells above the circle* of the earth,
The * states 'or "sphere"'. Problem is, that the hebrew word for sphere is dur: http://biblehub.com/hebrew/1754.htm
But the Hebrew word for circle is chug: http://biblehub.com/hebrew/chug_2329.htm
As in a compass circle, or the circle of a camp. Something more like a disc.
Another WT myth exposed!

By contrast, Hinduism demonstrated a far better appreciation of sizes and timescales (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_(time_unit) ) if not of structure, and much earlier on at that.
You do realise that most on here are atheists nowadays?
We've left one lot of religious nutters, we don't need any other religious nonsense thanks!
i would be interested to know if the announcement came of an immenent nuclear war would you start praying or get drunk etc etc..
My point is when your life is about to end i think everyone would cry out to God to help them whether you beleive in God or not
Which God?
Yahweh?
Zeus?
Baal?
What if you die praying to the wrong one? What would be the point then.
What if there is no God. What would be achieved by praying?
obama speaks at us war cemetery on d-day landings anniversary.
"united states of america is and will remain the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.".
on may 28, obama delivered a commencement address to the us armys newest officers at west point, where he argued america would remain an empire forever.. .
I am an atheist yet intrigued by the events that match up with bible prophecy.
You're an atheist that believes in Bible prophecy?
What?
WHAT???
What 'ability' was behind this 'prophecy' given you don't believe in God. More importantly, what empirical evidence can you produce that backs this 'ability' up?
