If they would have stopped at the second time they said the generation referred to the anointed, I could have lived with that. Considering it didn't mean 30-40 years or 70-80 years, I thought, "this makes more sense".
My thinking was that I wasn't serving God with any particular date in mind, (although it did have a lot to do with why I jumped on board back in 1985), but when they keep coming up with crazy explanations about the generation, that is just too much, it helped me to examine more.
