I have read a lot her about this issu, and it is always end upp in year we have said that something perhaps will happend, and thats not so good ofcourse, even if the gissipels ask jesus will your kingdom come in this itime, so some was waiting fore this, was they wrong now, nothing say that, but I agree it is not good fore the reputaition of the name of jehova.
Something you never tell is that what i think is the MOST important in the religion is not this waiting fore the end.
It is the bigg unike thing fore Jw, where are we when we are dead, answer sleeping, waiting fore the
resurruection. As we now the other religion say , hell or heaven, bigg diffrence.
number two, jehova is only one ,jesus is hes son, who shall give us blessing in the kingdom on earth, als0 very unik.
number three is that we belife name of the lord is <jehova, very unik, and important.
we have some more things, but this things who you can say are seperating us from the rest of diffrent religions, and THIS HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGE.
And this things are the most important in our religion, not that some have putt to much faith in promise when the end is here, hope the GB will read 2 tess 1-5.
jehova will tell on the last day if they have put themselfs in his position.
I think most of you have read about David, he was Jehovas king and dispite this he was doing terribel things, if they have internet in that times, do you think the relatives to Bat- seba, hade putt in some protests here and tell what David have done, intresting thaugt.
We have also Salomon who was king and he was eveal at the end.'
The Gb want to say that the storys in jesaja are about false religion, we have a diffrent wuie if we say it was fore us, like it was then to his peopel, read fore exampel Hez. 13 cap, wery intresting.
I can say hounestly that i have never putt any bigg trust in this diffrent quess when the last day is here, always thinking, we dont now the day, only the lord.
1975 was fore mee only some spekulating hope, same widh the generaition thing, the most important thing fore me was to honor jehova and tell peopel that we cAN HAVE A HOPE , TO LIVE ON EARTH, FORE EVER, AND THAT BIBEL HELP US A LOT IF WE TRY TO FOLLOW THE GUIDNESS THERE.And that Christ will be our king and help us truth our dificulties.
