Truly it can be said that lesser mortals such ourselves can only stand on the shoulders of such Giants as yourself!
You are clearly on to something major. The reticence of AlanF and, indeed C. O. Johnsson himself to admit to this egregious error is certainly because they recognize - and only too well - that this is the first stitch to unravel in what is clearly a sordid fabric of frabication, indeed, a veritable pablum of prevarication and prestidigitation. It is rather rare to read posts as insightful as yours which not only penetrate to the core but do so with modesty and a light touch. With laser like precision you have gone straight to the very root of the whole 607/1914 chronology, indeed to the very heart of the matter - first and foremost you have cleaved the very bone from the marrow and, secondly, the fatty tissues have been rent from the not so fatty tissues. I have to admit that, until now, I also had been misled by the chronological scratchings of Mr Johnsson and his ilk. I owe you a debt of deep gratitude, for now, in the glorious light of your post, I see Watchtower chronlogy for what it actually is! To think that the entire eschatological exegesis of the past 100 years (and more) can be summarized in the precise mathematical statement that 17 + 1 = 18. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. If only Russell had been blessed with your clarity of thought, intellect and sincerity of motive in his numerological studies of Giza's varied dimensions, then how different might the past 122 years have been! Why we might even now be residing not merely in the spiritual paradise but in the actual Day of His Rest. How true it is that the light gets ever brighter!
Clearly, you deserve elevation - at least to the pantheon of celebrated Watchtower scholars - and, I have heard mutterings amongst prominent Assyriologists that you may have actually transcended them all. I am certain that your natural modesty will incline you to shrink-back from even the contemplation of scaling such heights but scale them you must. For it is clear that your discovery will resonate not only with the professional Assyriologist; its widespread implications for eschatology, reflexology, sexology, scatology and even gerontology - to name but a few soon-to-be-impacted fields - mean that your fame will be known throught the earth is guaranteed.
However, Oh Soon-To-Be-Lauded Scholar, there is one necessary and somewhat tedious first step which you must take in your journey to the rarefied heights of Academic Near Eastern Studies and it is this: pray do not delay even a second in submitting your meaty meditations, your fatty findings, indeed your seminal maculations, together with your prehensile perpotations to a learned journal. I'd recommend Nature but even a modest rag such as the Journal of Near Eastern Studies - a link to which I humbly provide for your convenience here: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/JNES/home.html - would cement your claim to fame and fortune. Do not worry about florid presentation, elaborate diagrammation or intricate indentation! Why, your findings are so astounding that even a doorkeeper - yea even a janitor or toilet attendant - in the house of the University of Chicago Department of Near Eastern Studies will recognize your outpourings for what they are and, I am sure, deal with them accordingly.
