607 BCE and 1914: Why these dates matter to Jehovah's Witnesses (2021 reboot)

[@JillyC5]

I went to a Christian college where two Bible classes (one for each Testament) was required. The question on what year Jerusalem fell appeared on perhaps 3-4 exams, with of course 586/587 BCE being the correct answer. I thought it was rather interesting, so I decided to ask the professor why the same question kept popping up. He vaguely said, "there is a false school of thought on that. I won't get into it, I just like to drill it home." Lol

BC586 is correct year

[@TheChariotdriver]

When they discovered that there was no “Zero” year and 606 was their starting year it SHOULD have made the 2,520 end in 1915. But since 1914 had coincidentally birthed WW1 there was no way to allow the time shift to happen in that direction. A change from 606 to 607 had to be made. This alone should show a current Jw they were “cooking the books” to make the belief seem it had a solid foundation.

[@ShoNuffSoulBro1]

1914 - 2520 = 606, Right ? (no Zero year) Why do they insist on 607 then? The math still wouldn’t line up, Right ? ?

[@TheChariotdriver]

@@ShoNuffSoulBro1 I believe pre finding out there was no zero year they claimed it as being 606bce. Then when they discovered there shouldn’t be a zero year they moved the date to 607 BCE to make up for that shifting of years. Technically the realization of no zero year would have made their ending date change and it should have been moved from 1914 to 1915. But no one said there would be math today so I could be wrong.

Dad died a few weeks ago, still watching jw meetings on zoom, but he had bad dementia and i really don't know how he really felt about JWism.

One of the best tablets that crushes Watchtower chronology is the BM 38462 tablet also known as LBAT 1420. Located in the British Museum. It contains a set of 29 years of annual eclipses from Nebuchadnezzar's reign from year 1 to year 29. It has the month and each year of his reign when each eclipse occurred. So this unique 29 year eclipse set cannot be budged by a year, much less the 20 years Watchtower tries to move it by. Astronomers were able to pinpoint the exact year of Nebuchadnezzar's 1st year all the way to his 29th year. The tablet has recorded the eclipse from 588 that Watchtower says happened in Neb's 37 year. The tablet recorded that eclipse occurring in Neb' s 17th year! Which proves that his 19 year was 586!

These were key dates for my faith that Armageddon was coming soon. Your previous video, and digging into the dates via peer reviewed data showed 607 BCE as wrong. All my faith and it’s bedrock was gone in a flash.

Great video, the original definitely helped me wake up a few years ago

Thank you Lloyd even though am not a jehova witness you presentation are way better than the way witnesses have trying to explain or tell me to look it up on JW.borg... Thank you for all the work y'all doing.

Thank you for doing an updated video on this. Last year after I had watched the older video, I thought to reach out to the local Rabbi to see when Jews acknowledge the destruction of their temple. Turns out Jewish people adhere to 586. In fact they have the day and month. 9th of Av. Once we starting asking questions it is amazing what you can learn.

2021 reboot makes sense they are forever changing with the "new light" . Love the professionalism bud.

PERFECT presentation. Concise, accurate, dutifully researched and methodically laid out. Far better than the ‘we are (unquantifiable & falsifiable) god’s voice so you must take what we tell you’ despite numerous inaccuracies based on a shady past jw historical pseudoscience.

Lloyd, you are correct as always. Don`t stop your work.

At the c. 26:29 mark . The number seen on the tablet 4956 . Say 49 + 56 = 105 . April 14 (me) , when February has 29 days, is day 105 of the year . 105 days x 24 hours is the number 2520 .

I just love how you explain everything.

[@iohannalutykk9931]

Very informative! I genuinely like the insight

[@PentaconSixExpert]

Did I mishear? At 27'51" in I was sure that I heard you say that "607 BCE ... was 20 years later" [than 587 BCE] You must have meant to say that 607 BCE was 20 years EARLIER than 587 BCE. You may wish to check this.
