  WTS quietly discarding end-times signs?

  back in 1995 a major change took place in the witnesses' 'understanding' of the generation that was foretold to see the end of the current 'system of things'.. no longer was it to be a literal generation that would see both the beginning of times of distress in 1914 and the culmination at armageddon.

  instead the wts claimed 'new light' in interpreting the generation as applying to whichever generation of people were alive to see the final end.. also in 1995 another change took place that did not receive the same attention and may have remained unnoticed by the rank and file witnesses.

  repeating a point already made in a watchtower issue of 1993, a new textbook to be used in the proselytising work (the knowledge book) was released.

  ozziepost:

  This is my first post so please don't be too hard on me.

  With ref. to the observation that the Knowledge book omits to discuss earthquakes in the study material it also omits 7 other so-called features of the last days(that are listed in the panel on p102)from the study material. So do you think it was a deliberate ignoring of the sign, maybe in preparation for the apparent 'new light', or was it just they thought "lets bang on about something different for a change, we're always going on about earthquakes"

  Just a thought.
