  I have just read this from Berean Pickets in the comment section. It's quite a leap. What do you think of this.....I find it quite amazing how this new twist to make "it fit" has been approached. By the way. Berean Pickets is quite a good site for information related to doctrine. Not harsh, good research etc.........The posters name is there I think. At any rate, he felt strongly enough to send the message straight through.........

  "I am at the Bible Students Convention in PA. There was just a discourse on how the date for the beginning of the invasion of Jerusalem is 607BC. The destruction of Jerusalem is in 587BC. So 2,520 days from 607BC is 1914. So the date is correct it’s just that the understanding of what happened in 607BC is incorrect."

  What 'proof' do they present?

  Nebuchadnezzar took over the area in 605 BC…

  I have no idea. I would like to know what "proof" they have come up with. What I find interesting, is the fact that they feel compelled in some way, to explain this long faulted doctrine. It seems like a back sliding or just loading up some sort of banal reasoning to justify this strange and inaccurate teaching of theirs.

  WT has noticed the dissent, it must be obvious to them, even from a cursory view of the internet. I think it's a rather desperate attempt to qualify a long disqualified claim. As we all know, 1914 is absolutely important to them, for everything hinges on making this fit in with their version of the "truth", or the imminence of the end....

  Berean Pickets is not affiliated with WTBTS at all. It is a site created by some who have disagreed with the inaccurate doctrines of the WT. Some are elders who have stood down due to the persistent refusal of WT to correct it's deceptions and the GBs almost godlike status, amongst other things......

  Do they have their own conventions? 'Bible students convention'...Are they sort of like Russelites?

  Thank you for the news! I can't wait until the JWs adopt this new understanding, just like they adopted "false religions" view of the domestics and the "evil slave" being hypothetical!

  Just more proof that God's not backing them, because the borg has to make more changes and excuses.

  Inaccurate. 607 was the middle of Jehoakim's reign. Necho II was dominating them. Babylon had not yet invaded.
