Another Failed Watchtower Prediction

The Watchtower 1989 January 1 p. 12
The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be concluded in our 20th century.

Cyrano,

Say it ain't so, a WTBTS prediction being wrong? It's the end of the world as we know it!

Now, if someone would post the 'altered' version that appears on the CD Rom, we might be onto something!

Yep. This article is the reason why my JW brother is no longer speaking with me. The WTS changed it to "our day" on the cd that he looked it up on. Then I sent him a copy of the original.

Jehovah’s prophetic word through Christ Jesus is: “This generation [of 1914] will by no means pass away until all things occur.” (Luke 21:32) And Jehovah, who is the source of inspired and unfailing prophecy, will bring about the fulfillment...

I do remember an announcement being made at the congregations that this change was being made...and a comment here by someone in the know about the staff at Brooklyn that it was a mistake by the brother writing the article and the proofreading mechanism at Bethel missed it. (20th century changed to our day)

Was that here I heard this or H20?

I read in one of the October or November magazines that the big A is "just around the corner".

I'd say the Writing Dept is the ones being backed into a corner!

Cheers,
