It cannot be proven that Jesus started ruling in 1914, as the Watchtower describes this as an unseen event. Russell was not guided by Jehovah to uniquely understand Daniel's prophecy of the Seven Times; he took his interpretation from Adventists such as Barbour. His interpretation was wrong, as he adamantly stated that 1914 would be "the final end" of this system of things. The Watchtower has not presented a consistent understanding of 1914 and the current interpretation was not finalized until 1943.The Watchtower Society spent decades promoting its most prominent doctrine that the end would occur in 1914.
Should a person trust the Watchtower Society when it was proven so dramatically wrong?
Can a person trust the Watchtower Society when it continues to resort to deception when presenting its history?
How can a person belong to an organization that refuses to accept responsibility for its mistakes, passing the blame to its faithful followers?
Jerusalem did not fall in 607 B.C.

The October and November 1st 2011 Watchtower "attempt" to prove that Jerusalem fell in 607, rather than the historically accepted 587. Click here for Carl Jonsson's brilliant examination in PDF format, which shows the intellectual dishonesty of the Watchtower by including inaccurate information and misquotes.
For the seven times to end in 1914, the Watchtower is forced to claim Jerusalem was destroyed and completely desolate in 607 B.C. However, it is universally accepted that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C. This section shows that the evidence is conclusive that Jerusalem did not fall in 607 B.C.
The Watchtower claims secular evidence regarding 587 is incorrect because it disagrees with Bible Chronology. In reality, secular evidence does not contradict Bible chronology, but rather the flawed Watchtower interpretation of Bible chronology.
