As I see it, the new light on the generation, took back a promise from the people who were alive in 1914, and now says that they won't be the generation to see the big A

"The path of the rightous is like a bright light"
^ It was not even near bright in 1918 compared to the theology those original whacky ideas have evolved to. It was a dim reading light at first, which is one reason I don't feel that scripture applies to "true christians."
What it applies to is the SINGLE LIFE of ONE person of rightousness. No one is born rightous, nor do they just become rightous one day. It is a long process. Yet all through their path the rightous one is always a shining light in a dark world of apathy and indifference.

Oh here's another thing the JW's will say: "that is we have to make adjustments". Does truth need to be adjusted ?

Thanks Sab,
I think the WTS need a GPS because they have veered off of the righteous path, and on to the wrong road.

I would like to have a JW explain how they get the term "the path of the righteous" to mean "doctrine".

again what did I miss ?
Nothing!
James 1:17 (New International Version)
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
1 John 1:5 (New International Version)
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
Hebrews 13:8 (New International Version)
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Numbers 23:19 (New International Version)
19 God is not a man, that he should lie,
nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?1 Samuel 15:29 (New International Version)
29 He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind."
Hebrews 6:18 (New International Version)
18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.
Blessings,
Stephen

The Nooo Lite doctrine is really simple, but nobody ever bothered to explain it to me except in the WT context.
It goes something like this.
God told Adam bugger all.
He told Moses a bit more.
Then Ezekiel got some more ...
... etc..
Jesus came along and gave some more...
Then Paul....
...all getting more light.
Even Russell recognised that Noo Lite doctrine, saying that it was like another candle being lit, the light getting brighter, adding to knowledge, not having a previous candle go out.
The WT claims that the Noo Lite is being given to mankind through them, as did Charlie Manson, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Josephs Myth, The Reverend Moon and a multitude of others.
Do any Christian religions say that Noo Lite stopped before they invented/re-invented themselves? (Not that I am in a hurry to find one.)
