Hopefully Razor, you are still lurking around here.Razor was only five or six years old when the WT changed their mind about the term generation. He was just a baby. I was 19 years old at the time and I couldn't even grasp the significance of it.
I was just reading the article last night the November 1995 WT (I'm not sure which of the two for that month) All I remember feeling during that WT study back then was a sense of relief. I thought good the end is not so close, I'm not doing so well in the truth so I still have time.
But, last night when reading that article it went on to say something like... this doesn't mean that the end is still not near or close. blah blah blah we are still living in the last days... blah blah blah....... We shouldn't be concerned about the date..... nobody knows and I believe it said nobody ever knew.....
(The WT knew, they used to set dates, oh but they were wrong. I forgot. Technically, they can say that. Did they ever apologize or admit they were wrong?)
So, this new wonderful light brought about more clear thinking about the term generation. It means a group of people that can be identified by their bad attitude and evil ways.
So, don't worry about the time and season, that is not for us to know. Just keep on serving Jehovah because after all we are in the last days.
"The Last Days" What does that mean?
If it is none of our business when the appointed time is or the time of Armageddon.
Then why the F*$# does the WT place so much emphasis on it?
That is all the witnesses ever say: "The last days", "Critical times", They mutter off these words every time something bad happens.
The WT keeps putting these things in their heads for the same exact reason the rest of the World's Religions do it.
They want you to be so afraid that you become so dependant on them this is what keeps people giving them money and filling up their church.
If you want to worship a creator then by all means go ahead. If life after death brings you comfort fine, believe that too. Just STOP LETTING A MAN DICTATE to you what the bible means, who God is or isn't.
I have not seen one Religion out there who could not have the bible turned on them to expose their hypocrisy.... INCLUDING JEHOVAH"S WITNESSES!!!
I Believe the JWs like to use a scripture (someone help me out here) and refer it to themselves as being blameless. If the bible is right then the JWs along with every other religion I know of will have a lot to answer for on "Judgement Day".
