  JH, ....this is a profound statement:

  To me, this was one of their biggest errors, because they could have waited 20 more years before giving up on the 1914 generation. Those holding on to 1914 would have stead 20 more years waiting, just incase

  Why DID they open their mouths so soon? They lost many from this, and those that stayed began planning more for the future.....something they have always advised against. Maybe there was a motive. If there was a motive....it was a financial factor.......but I have no idea how this new teaching would help in that respect. They have always covered their butts well so they can backpeddle if need be on their teachings.........but they seemed to have jumped the gun on this one.

  I figured that some live to be over 100, so it could have gone on til about 2014.......but then they said the person had to be age of understanding, and then there were replacements, so I figured the early part of this century.

  Yep. And my Dad was born in 1918, so he figured that Armageddon would come before he died. Hw was wrong about that. Fifteen years later, it still hasn't happened. So, it's not like I'm holding my breath or anything.

  DanO my son my son! Jehovah's day is not slow respecting his promise as some people consider slow. He's patient with you so you'll turn your sorry arse around and leave this damn place and git yer arse back to the hall where ya belong.

  When the nukes/others do their thing oneday......maybe the dubs will see Armageddon is a tad different than the pics their used to looking at and not at all in the selective sequence they were taught.

  ( damn that was gloomy)

  When I realized the significance of the generation change, combined with the unbelievable change in the long-standing unchangeable blood "law", combined with my total disdain for the disfellowshipping arrangement, especially of children, along with the big pedophile problem, I'd finally had it.

  Then I learned about the U.N. and all kinds of dishonesty and error in their teachings, and OMG!

  I realized these guys don't even know what they're talking about! And never have!

  What a hoax.
