Hi all..
Seems to be alot of friends are doing research regarding 607. This was the subject that after competely researching it, I had to come to grips with the fact that we were being lied to. The reason became quite clear and very obvious. However, I was raised a JW and it was my life! I was not looking to leave, nor was I "spiritually weak" by JW standards. I was very active and busy in the JW routine. When I realized there was something weird going on with the dates, I had to get to the bottom of it. I was certain, that a little research would clear things up.
Oh they cleared up alright, but not in the way I would have ever imagined. I was shocked I could find no proof ANYWHERE (and I mean proof...not just someones explanation or theory) for the date I was teaching others. This date is so important to JW doctorines, that few JWs really realize that without it, most all the other JW beliefs and restictions crumble. The reason is, as most here have already learned, is that without 607, the Society has NO GOD GIVEN AUTHORITY. When you realize this you then come to the hard realization, that they were NOT identified as God's chosen people on earth in 1914/1919, and that they are merely SELF APPOINTED MEN.
So, I am reposting this chart for any and all who are researching this subject. I hope someone else can be benefited by this info.
Sincerely,

Hi everyone,
I just made this chart for my brother-in-law using the Bible as well as the book entitled Assyrian & Babylonian Chronicles by A.K. Grayson printed in 1975. Grayson is a world renound expert used to decipher the Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles for the British Museum. I checked out this book from the local library. Although they had to send away to a College University for it. A interesting note: the Society uses this very book in the Insight Vol.2 under Nebuchadnezzar to support their dates. When I got this book, it was for the purpose of checking their dates and quotes of this author. As you will see by this chart, they have misquoted him to serve their own deceitful purpose! I included scriptures that support the chronicles. Like I said, I made this for my brother-in-law, but thought someone out there might be able to use it.
Have a great night!
