Your last post reveals nothing that makes sense but simply relys on speculation and gossip, If their identity was so freely known as you claim then tell me who was the Chairman of the Committee and where are the minutes for the committee, Why did not Raymond Franz cite these documents or at least make som reference?

Notice that the information written by bofug did not provide any sources or evidence for the NWT committe but merely used speculation, gossip and rumour. The source no doubt originated with Ray Franz' Cof C which itself provided no evidence.

during my eight month long study with "elder bob" (moms husband) we have batted around many subjects to say the least.
but the one that really stands out is the dreaded date of 607 bc.
im sorry i just will not let up with this date, and him having to prove it can stand.

Apparently there cannot be much secular evidence for the traditional chronology because according to the the site you recommended there is uncertainty between 586 or 587. So much for the abundance of secular evidence.

Your interpretation is that Jeremiah's prophecy applied only to Babylon but it also applies to the desolated land which would thus for seventy years ending when the exiles returned in 537 after Babylon fell in 539. If the prophecy only applied to Babylons then when did it end because its judgement was everlasting so this means that it began in 539 and continued on.

Is it commonsense for you to insist that the identity of the committee is known when they have emphatically stated that they were to remanin anonymous and there is no evidence available which contradicts their anonymity. If you claim know then put its up or shut up.

If your comment that there were very few people involved and unaware of the NWT project and that the Bethel family were surprised in 1950 at the release of the NWT then this is only underscores the fact that the identity of the committee was inknown and unknowable.

As I said I have given one piece of secular evidence for establishing 607 which in turn is calculated from the pivotal date for the Fall of Babylon in 539. This date must be firmly established before proceeding further and is basic or foundational for 607. So I have fulfilled your rquest. Now, you can supply me with one piece of secular evidence for either 587 or 586,whichever takes your fancy.

I have answered your question. Perhaps you can return the favor and you give ONE piece of secular evidence in support of 586 or 587, whichever one you accept for the Fall of Jerusalem.

Many people at Bethel were involved in the NWT project from its iinception and so was the rumour mill working overtime. But the fact of the matter is that under the terms of the Deed of Arrangement, the identity of the translators was to be kept anonymous even up to the present day. The reason for this was to preserve the astonishing accuracy of this marvellous gift to mankind and not to have it ne the subject pf debate over the qualifications or otherwisw of the Committee's scholars/

Are you serious? The answers to your first three questions are easy and set forth in the AID book article on chronology but a list for the Babylonian dynasty is problematic. However, I can oblige but would you in turn oblige me by posting a king-list for the Divided Monarchy for Judah and Israel. If you will agree to this then I will answer your four questions and I expect you to reply in kind.
