dear OBVES...
...Jesus said when you see this and when you see that...He didn't say prepare for such and such a date...we are told to be always ready for His return, and help prepare others for His return in Glory...on a "day" only the Father knows.

so, if 1914 is true, then we're only a couple of hours into the generation who will by no means pass away, which means we have about 79,000 years 'til god does anything.
there's the future 'light' the wtbts will give re: the generation, but they have to keep expectancy in our lifetimes in order to keep funding their publication business, so until then....
see you in the resurrection circa 99900 A.D. :)

Sure looks like the universe was made with man in mind!
DON'T GIVE UP... WE ARE SO CLOSE
If i was a believing idiot erm I mean JW this would actually depress me further, suppose God gets stuck on the phone or has to resolve a tiff between Gabriel and Michael that half an hour equates to a lot of time. The promised paradise would pass me by, I'd be dead! Damn
I don't know... I think this way of interpreting/understanding that scripture shows a lack of reading comprehension.
It says: "But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
The way I read it, it simply means that time is irrelevant as far as God is concerned, not that one day is literally a thousand years or vice versa. How can it literally be both?
You'd have to do the math the other way around as well then, at least, to be intellectually honest. Every day in human history being a thousand years. Let's do that... That'll be inspirational, I'm sure...
DON'T GIVE UP... WE ARE SO CLOSE!
They completely miss the point with that one. Time has no meaning for God like it does for us.
What Awakened said.

Also one day can mean 1010 years as in timeline:
Very convenient when you can arbitrarily change the rule to fit a predetermined timeline.
Oh, Awakened, there you go again...being Awake...!
I actually got a tear in my eye feeling sorry for all those puppy-dog-eyed email readers, fervently believing it's "so close"...
