The very satisfying nature of events which are behind us is that they EXIST as history.
There is nothing provisional or speculative about occurances that have already taken place.
We have written records in black and white as to how the word "generation" was manipulated over the years by the Watchtower.
The GB was looking into the future each time they employed "generation" in order to leverage the readers of their publications into
activity.
There is no better way to prove the dishonesty of Watchtower leaders than to examine the entire history of the "generations" teaching!
When 1925 turned the President of the Watchtower Society into a "jackass" all credibility should have ended for him.
He was the new leader with wrong predictions. The old leader with wrong predictions, C.T. Russell was dead.
That was a score of 0-2.
"Millions Now Living Will NEVER Die" was a package deal ending in 1925.
1925 was empty of fulfillment.
But, cycnically--the idea of using "generations" alive in 1914 who would live to see Armageddon proved too tempting to discard.
The carrot at the end of the stick was a kind of weird PROOF JW's embraced with great emotional enthusiasm.
As the 1914 "generation" grew older and older their aging process served as a terrifically dramatic COUNTDOWN CLOCK to doomsday!
The only other weird "proof" was the diminishing number of the "elect" or anointed who slowly evaporated toward Armageddon as well.
You looked at the old folks hobbling into the Kingdom Hall who were connected to the Watchtower's phony 1914 scam and you were looking at
living "proof" there was very little time left!
But, the intellectual dishonesty of Watchtower leaders began to show itself clearly over time.
As those telltale geriatric faithful began dropping like flies the GB started to sweat a little. Just a little...
They began to hedge their bets and insert weasel words into articles about END times "signs".
Awareness of guilt by liars signals itself when the story changes ever so slightly. New versions are dissonant with older tellings!
The guilty GB squirmed under the ever-shortening fuse leading to a full exposure of a feckless teaching!!
They backed off by increments growing less specific and more general.
RE-defining a word is the work of the propagandist and a cult leader!
What the Watchtower had been emphatically teaching was clear enough and dramatic enough in the early days--but---less and less so over the years.
As 2014 loomed large, how many of the 1914 "generation" deathwatch could remain?
The NEW "understanding" was a desperate ploy full of cynical weasling in FULL VIEW of the old JW's who had hung on for years and years hoping against hope it all wasn't a pile of steaming shit!
Worst fears were realized as the definition of "generations" was stretched into a meaningless deconstruction of semantics.
The secondary teaching that the anointed would be fewer and fewer was also a nightmare of obviously ridiculous disproof!
The ranks grew larger and larger until an amazing declaration of "mental illness" was necessary to rescue the sacred ranks from infiltration!
How cynical this is---judging the anointing of the very Elect--just to escape being made the public liar on the part of Watchtower leaders!!
We can all learn from this. All of us.
These facts aren't tenuous at all. They are, as I said at the first, IN BLACK AND WHITE a matter of record.
Follow the trail and we can all see that Judge Rutherford wasn't the only "jackass" leading the Watchtower religion on a merry chase of ignorance and lies until exposure renders them all FOOLS.
