Most these guys got thier start on this from the book "Even tide"by an author from London, Brown was his last name. I'm not sure how Russell pulled pyramidology in to his teaching but that what he mostly claims is where he got the dates from.

Why did C T Russell choose 606 BC?
by shepherdless ini recently commented on a thread in relation to the 607 bc - 1914 ad calculation, listing problems with the logic and mathematics.
afterwards, i wondered what made ct russell choose 606 bc in the first place.
here is my research so far.. i had read somewhere a suggestion that 606 bc was a number ct russell got from nathan balbour who in turn got it from william miller of the millerites.

Concentrate on your daughter and show her how not normal the JW family a cult is. This and having a normal life is what's important not these clowns.

What is the actual spelling of the city name on the document ? Jerusalem would not have been the correct spelling at the time.

I was 2000 miles away from my family trying to make some money during the bad recession. Being by myself I had time to really reflect on all things about god and his abandonment of mankind to prove a point. This didn't make sense to me and was the mind set that led me down the rabbit hole. Seeing spiritual witnesses struggle as much as me and more during this down turn in the economy help to push me down the hole as well.

2520-607 = 1913
by schnell ini love math, i love calendars, and somehow, this always gets me.. 2520 - 607 = 1913. not 1914.. 2520 - 606 = 1914. from what i understand, russell realized this.
he had previously used 606 bc, of course, but then he switched it to 607 bc.
i know there was something about no zero year, so it actually should be less one, correct?.

It's also interesting that originally the destruction of Jerusalem wasn't even in the mix, 606 was about the Jewish king being removed from his throne. ( they should of stuck with that) . Not sure when they first taught the destruction of Jerusalem in 607?

Let's not forget when Armageddon didn't happen in 1914 Russell was kind enough to change it to 1915. He even changed the measurements of the pyramid to make it work. What a guy!

Another thing about this story that seems odd is him talking about being treated as if disfellowshiped. Didn't that print an Awake in 1947 that said disfellowshipping was wrong? I smell a rat.

Yes but the view their putting across is no matter what we do or teach stay with us and continue to obey us and give us your money and if you feel something is unjust be patient and jehovah will fix it.

Another Thread about Release from Babylon the Great (Watchtower November 2016 ,Study 29th Jan
by BluesBrother inmy take on this is in regard of the use of malachi 3.1-3.. “look!
i am sending my messenger, and he will clear up a way before me.
and suddenly the true lord, whom you are seeking, will come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant will come, in whom you take delight.

In reality Rutherford was put in prison for sedition and not because of persecution from the Catholic Church. Why sedition, because he wrote in the book FinishMystery and encouraged fighting men that had gone off to fight in WWI to stop and to come home and others not to join the army. Yep the JW leaders just cannot stop telling lies.
