...also, "times" could be void of a numeric value - as in "good times"
How's the math adding up then, uh?
Multiply by a time, times, and half a time: What do you get?

It depends how many "times" "times" means. I remember arguing with th person who studied with me that "times" could mean anything: two times, a millions times, who knows?

If you are supposed to add a time, times, and half a time, the minimum is 3 1/2 times. Bear in mind that "times" means at least 2 times.
What I didn't see is an upper limit on "times". The witlesses presume that "times" automatically means two times, and they act as if the Bible explicitly defines "times" as 2 times. I never saw any proof that the Bible refers to "times" as "two times". And, if it is anything other than 2 times, it throws off all Bible chronology for our times. And using "2,520" as proof is not enough, because they could easily be totally unrelated and the 2,520 could itself be thrown off.

I always wondered how "times" could be interpreted as 2. Just because it's plural???
a time = 1
times = 2 to ∞
half a time = 1.5
But if you're starting from 607 B.C.E., what difference does it really make anyway? lol
