Look at their eyes. Quite a number look like no sleep or distress in their little lives.

25 years after 1914 came 1939 so it is a terrible possibility the WW2 claimed some or TB but these things apart they would have to be centenarians + by now.

Good point!

But of course, you know the WT spin on this would be something like:

"oh when we said 'millions now living will never die', we meant that millions of great grandchildren of those now living may possibly perhaps also have grandchildren who may still be living perhaps as an overlapping generation of future generations also begin to live" ...

But we couldnt fit that on the front of our amazing book of truth, so we shortened it to "millions now living will never die".....but if you have faith, and are spiritual, you would have known what we meant!

A Witness might say:

"Yes , but we must remember that we get a progressive revelation of the truth. Is that not a kindness? If Jehovah fed us all the knowledge at once it would be more than our little brains could handle..

The advantage of this has been to keep us always on our toes, always expecting. That way we will always be ready when the end does come "

To me ,that sounds more like the excuses that the pig "Squeeler" might have used in Orwell's "Animal Farm" and that was a parody of evil oppressive regimes........sad isn't it.?

Witness My Fury

None, would be a sensible bet.

Starting school at 5 or 6 years old, now in the 3rd grade means these kids were 8 or 9 years old in the photo.

Add 100 years = 108 or 109 years old All Dead.

FROM WIKI: There are estimated to be 300-450 living supercentenarians [attaining the age of at least 110 years] in the world, though only 73 verified cases are known. A study conducted in 2010 showed that the countries with the most known supercentenarians (living and dead, in order of total) were the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.

The first verified supercentenarians in human history died in the late 19th century. Until the 1980s, the oldest age attained by supercentenarians was 115, but this has now been surpassed. To date there are 31 verified cases of people who have lived to the age of 115 or more. Of these cases, ten individuals are known to have reached 116 years of age (or older).

The "Millions" prophecy has been proven FALSE!
