It was Babylon, NOT Jerusalem.
By using the year 607B.C., they are able to match up a time prophecy that they have taken from The Bible to show that Jesus became king of the heavens in the year 1914.
To change to the date that archaeologists accept would move this prophecy which is a MAJOR part of their beliefs. To change their beliefs like that would put a large portion of what they believe into question.

The Bible tells of Jerusalem's destruction in 607 B.C.E. in 2 Kings chapter 25, 2 Chronicles chapter 36, and Jeremiah chapter 39, and reads that Nebuchadnezzar's army put the city to the torch. Recent excavations support this. Visitors can see remains from this destruction that took place over 2,500 years ago. The Israelite Tower, the Burnt Room, and the Bullae House are names of popular archaeological sites open to the public.

Historians agree that Babylon was conquered by the Medo-Persian empire in 539 BCE, and shortly thereafter the Jews were released to return to and reinhabit Jerusalem, which would be about 537 BCE. If one does not believe the Bible, then the date of 586/587 BCE is fine, but Jehovah's Witnesses accept the Bible as being God's written record of truth. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17) Jerusalem was to lie desolate for 70 years, which would be 607 BCE. - 2 Chronicles 36:21; Jeremiah 25:11, 12; Daniel 9:2; Zechariah 1:12; 7:5.
607 is divisible by: 1 and 607.

Lamentations (meaning: "Dirges; Laments" ) was not the name of a prophet, but a series of five lyrical poems written by Jeremiah, after Babylon destroyed rebellious Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E. These poems, called the 'book of Lamentations', lament the destruction of Jerusalem and express grief(Lamentations 1:5, 18), but also make a hopeful appeal to God to remember his people. (Lamentations 3:22-27; 5:1-3)
