They warn the person actually reading the book that they should heed their warnings of Armageddon, as it "will come in YOUR lifetime"
Since they now pin it on the life of anybody who reads the book, only one of those who read it needs to die to prove them wrong.
If I die it didnt come in my lifetime neither! Don t these clowns REALLY think about some of the stuff they print?

What book is that again?
Can we get the whole quote? Even the paragraph?
Saying it "may" come or "could" come is easily defended. Saying it "will" come in a specific time period, not so much. That's how they squirmed out of the 1975 mess. It was just vague enough to later say, "we didn't actually say it would happen...". But the 1914 generation seeing the 'end'... now that's an out and out "will" statement that did prove false.
Problem is, the fallout of the generation change was less than the fallout of the 1975 debacle. And with more proof for the false prediction of the old "generation" teaching than for the 1975 prediction...
Which just goes to show that no matter what they say, they'll squirm out of it yet again. Easily defended or no way to defend it... There will always be a segment of people that will hang on, no matter how plain it is that there is no defense for their false predictions.

Um, evidently not.
The sheep are constantly programmed for the society to change things as light increases. They would not bat an eyelid if that quote was pointed out to them.
I can't find the quote anywhere in the "Bible Teach" book.
hamsterbait, EXACTLY where is the quote?
Page #?
Paragraph#?
I CAN'T find it anywhere in the "Bible Teach" book.
If it wasnt in the Bible Teach - probably in the Revised "Knowledge that leads to Everlasting life."
I saw it last summer when visiting my Mother. I no longer have the Books to find it myself - it was in the Study Book used for the first six months of entrapment. Definitely one of the newer ones that replaced the "Live Forever" book.
The words were "that will come in YOUR lifetime."
Sorry to be a pain on this one. Am wishing Id kept the books now - save a lot of bother.

The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah,1971,pg 216.
"Shortly, within our twentieth century, the 'battle in the day if Jehovah' will begin against modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom."
Doesn't seem to bother The Watchtower that they said that back in 1971. No one appears to hold them accountable for what they wrote.
However, I am sure that they don't like it being pointed out.
Good one - VM44, that is a quote that deserves a wider circulation....
The GB never makes false prophecies.
They just have failed expectations caused by their commendable zeal to see Jehovah's kingdom established...
