unfortunately, this is I believe is the only 'prophecy' that is still unfulfilled (meaning not having NOT come true) that the Watchtower shoved down the public's throats. They know it, too.
The 1914 generation would be in their nineties, and there are, according to the US Census Bureau, a couple of million of these still in the US. What the Watchtower will do when they are gone too...probably stay silent or lie some more.
As pointed out, the original prophecy was that THE END was coming in 1914....not Jesus' invisible coming. So it actually was a false prophecy untill they changed it, in 1935 I think.
What else is new....
In 1975 a crack team of publishers was sentenced to death by a judicial commiteee. They promptly escaped from the cult and now live life on the run. If you have a problem ... and if you can find them ... maybe you can contact the A--postate Team"

The following is copied directly from the Society's official website. The Society put this information on their site after the change in understanding and have kept it there for the past seven years, even after there latest site revision!
How long a time period would these last days prove to be? Jesus said regarding the era that would experience the "beginning of pangs of distress" from 1914 onward: "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur." (Matthew 24:8, 34-36) Thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. So some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end. That generation of people is now very advanced in years, indicating that there is not much time left before God brings this present system of things to an end.
Here is the link if you'd like to check it for yourselves, just go to paragraph 16http://www.watchtower.org/library/pr/index.htm?article=article_07.htm

[this is the old link; http://www.watchtower.org/library/pr/soon_realized.htm I've just posted it to show how the WT purposely kept the 'old light' shining even after the opportunity of ditching it at the latest site revamp]
