"In that year (1914) 'the appointed times of the nations' were fulfilled, and God gave rulership to 'the lowliest of mankind' - Jesus Christ - who had been considered so base by his foes that they even had him impaled." - Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy!, 1999, p.97
"What about Jehovah's people? They had long declared that 'the appointed times of the nations' would end in 1914. (Luke 21: 24) In that year, God's Kingdom in the hands of King David's Heir, Jesus Christ, was established in the heavens. (2 Samuel 7: 12 - 16; Luke 22: 28,29). As far back as March 1880, the Watch Tower magazine linked the rule of God's Kingdom with the ending of 'the appointed times for the nations,' or 'the times of the Gentiles.' (King James Version)…God's 'time appointed' to end Gentile domination of the earth came in 1914 when he set up the heavenly Kingdom. In June 28 of that year, Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by a Serbian terrorist in Sarajevo, Bosnia. That was the spark that touched off World War I." - Ibid, p.261
"As far back as 1876, Jehovah's Witnesses realized that Bible prophecy marked the year 1914 CE as a time when major events would take place that would have far-reaching effects on human affairs. They gave the reason for this fact wide publicity." - True Peace and Security, how can you find it?,1986,p.70
"After going on record that the Bible pointed to 1914, Jehovah's Witnesses had to wait several decades before they saw the outcome. Early in 1914 the peacefulness of the world made it appear to many that nothing was going to happen. But before the summer was over, the Witnesses' confidence was justified when the world plunged into a war that was without precedent." - Ibid, p.73
"In their investigation of God's Word, those Bible Students (under Russell) were keenly interested in the prophecies of the Christian Greek Scriptures related to the 'end of the world' and to Christ's 'coming.' (Matthew 24:3 KJ) By turning to the Greek text, they discovered that Christ's 'coming' was, in fact, a 'parousia, ' or 'invisible presence.' Therefore, Christ had given his disciples information about the evidence of his invisible presence in the time of the end, not a future visible coming. Along with this study, those Bible students had a keen desire to understand the Bible's chronology in relation to Christ's presence. Without understanding all the details, Russell and his associates realized that 1914 would be a crucial date in human history. - Matthew 24: 3 - 22; Luke 21: 7 - 33…There was a sense of urgency to the activity of those Bible Students prior to 1914. They believed that their preaching activity would culminate in that year, and therefore they felt they should expend every effort to help others to know 'this good news of the kingdom." - Mankind's Search for God,1990, pp.353&354
CALLING ALL WTS SCOLARS - What did the society use as the reason for saying the end was coming in 1914 back in the 1800's? Surely they didn't preach the 607 crap back then, what lines of evidence did they put forward to present this? Did they use 607 back then to or not??

Interesting points quotes from litature:
"Hence it was in the invisible heavens that the year 1914 C.E. witnessed the fulfilment of Revelation 11: 15… The Bible clearly pinpoints the generation alive in 1914 CE as the one that will yet witness the ushering in of Kingdom rule free from Satanic interference." - Is This Life all there is?, 1974, pp.160&164
"Years in advance Bible scholars realized that 1914 was to be a year of great significance. Bible chronology specifically points to that year, and careful students of God's Word knew that. They expected great changes to take place, and the facts confirm that 1914 was, indeed, a marked year…The London 'Evening Star' commented that…some historian in the next century may well conclude that the day the world went mad was August 4, 1914." - The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life, 1968, p.91 (see also pp.95-96)
"But the Bible had foretold the opposite - that the unprecedented war of 1914 to 1918 would highlight the beginning of 'the last days.' (2 Timothy 3:1) The Bible also provided chronological evidence that 1914 would mark the birth of God's heavenly Kingdom… 1914 A TURNING POINT IN HISTORY" followed by a page of quotes from 'The Scientific Monthly', July 1951; 'The New York Times Magazine', September 27, 1953; 'The Seattle Times', January 1, 1959; James Cameron's '1914', published in 1959; 'American Medical News', November 21, 1977; 'The Economist', London, August 4, 1979; 'St. Louis Post - Dispatch', January 27, 1980 and British statesman Harold Macmillan in 'The New York Times', November 23, 1980." - Life - How did it get here? By Evolution or Creation?, 1985, pp.227-228 (see also pp.229&231)
"In 1914 CE Jesus Christ began to rule as King of God's heavenly government… we considered Bible evidence that Christ returned and began ruling in the midst of his enemies in the year 1914." - You can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, 1982, pp.141&149.
"Bible evidence shows that in the year 1914 CE God's time arrived for Christ to return and begin ruling." - Ibid, p.147
Hmmm. So my origional question to the elders remains, using just the Bible how do you get to 1914?

I have Farkels post printed out and I've read it a couple times (Thank you Farkel!) and its very good at explaining the whole thing. I've also printed out the explaination by L.L.'s sister on 587 which is also very good.
Ok so I promised to post my finds on the societies agreement with Graysons dates so here we go:
*** it-1 p. 453 Chronology *** "Thus, according to Assyriologist D. J. Wiseman, one portion of the so-called Babylonian Chronicle, covering the period from the rule of Nabu-nasir to Shamash-shum-u-kin (a period dated by secular historians as from 747-648 B.C.E.), is "a copy made in the twenty-second year of Darius [footnote says: I.e. 500/499 B.C."
This is in perfect agreement with Grayson
*** it-2 p. 480 Nebuchadnezzar *** "Second ruler of the Neo-Babylonian Empire; son of Nabopolassar and father of Awil-Marduk (Evil-merodach), who succeeded him to the throne. Nebuchadnezzar ruled as king for 43 years (624-582 B.C.E.)"
This is actually in agreement with Grayson as well, since they refer to Nebuchadnezzar reign.
So now the society completely agrees with the historical records speaking on the ruling kings, but it disagrees with the historical dates for the destruction of Jerusalem? The same chronicles that have the ‘daily’ diaries in them from the Babylonian kings are the ones that describe the conquest of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.! How could you claim that the Babylonians kept good enough records to take their word on 539 BC and not on 587 BC?
To me when I see the amount of evidence available and now the direct lies I think that no one with any reasoning ability could support the WTBTS record of historical events. -

Do they go home and whip themselves while pleading out to Jehovah as to why he didn't help them?
One can only hope!

New to the forum - want to introduce myself
by lovelylil inhi my name is lillian and i am posting for my first time.
i was a witness along with my husband and two children for 12 years and gave in my letter of disasociation about a year and a half ago.
i have struggled with the guilt of bringing my family in contact with the witnesses (i have always been a bible searcher) and i am only coming to terms with this recently.. i now consider myself a born again believer in christ jesus and read my bible daily to check and see what is true.
