1,600 Furlongs

The Watchtower Society constantly reminds its members that they were chosen by Jehovah to provide the “right food at the proper time”.

When we consider the following quote from the Watchtower Society do you think they are providing the right food?

When the Watchtower provided its understanding to its members of the 1600 furlongs mentioned in Revelation 14:20 “And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs”

The folowing was given

The Finished Mystery 1926 edition, p 230

“By the space of a thousand and [six] TWO hundred furlongs.--

A stadium is 606 ¾ English ft,; 1200 stadii are, mi., 137.9
 

The work on this volume was done in Scranton, Pa. As fast as it was completed it was sent to the Bethel. Half of the work was done at an average distance of 5 blocks from the Lackawanna station and the other half at a distance of 25 blocks. Blocks in Scranton are 10 to the mile. Hence the average distance to the station is 15 blocks, or 1.5 mi.

Official Railway Guide time table distance Scranton to Hoboken Terminal, 133.0 mi.

New York City Engineer's official distance Hoboken to the Bethel, via Barclay Street Ferry, Fulton Street and Fulton Ferry, 8,850, 4,950, 2,540 and 1,460 feet respectively, or a total of 3.4 mi.

Shortest distance from place where the winepress was trodden by the Feet Members of the Lord, Whose Guidance and help alone made this volume possible. mi., 137.9

[Emphasis Added]

The Watchtower appear a bit presumptuous in believing that the 1600 furlongs mentioned in the bible actually referred to the publication of their book “The Finished Mystery”

The Watchtower have also twisted the math’s as 1,600 Furlongs is actually 183.86 miles?
