  The whole thing was nonsense anyway. As the story, that is referred too, was Jesus telling "those people" and not this modern generation, that they themselves would be alive when Jerusalem fell. Anything beyond that, is just more Bible manipulation.

  Unfortunately unless you say it refers to this modern generation, it no longer has any meaning for your audience, and therefore you cannot control them by you interpretation. Sadly the JW's along with all religions, are able to convince its audience that it does have meaning now and they are the only ones to explain it. CS 101

  Pahpa: You are right, my reasoning would be incorrect, because in the minor fulfillment..in the 1st century, the generation would have to be at least 40 years long..from 30CE to 70CE.

  Thanks.
