They claim that its the holy spirit poured out in the time of the end that causes them to prophesy.

Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

No, the wt responds to respectful letters containing academic questions
By the way I wrote a respectful letter. I don't know how academic it was but I received no response. I had to chase the elders who had heard back without telling me for 7 months before they responded. 9 months from my posting the letter.

Fisherman I don't see it's about timing. Maybe it is for some. I find it is about faith.
The apostle Paul in Romans 10 is talking about what is written about the Servant in Isaiah 52/53 and how it had come true in Jesus Christ. His resurrection and glorification in heaven was good news.
These scriptures were linked to the good news preached by JW as I believe I have shown from the quotes I have posted. Paul talked of faith. I showed a quote where faith in the assured expectations of the beginnings of a restored paradise with in the generation of grandfather. My father was told the tribulation had started in 1914 and he had come out of it, from what I read in the paradise book. Therefore he could not die of old age. I showed how it appeared to me that the preaching of 'millions now living will never die' seemed to be alive in the 1960's as there were over a million witnesses, many alive from those early days including the ones that studied with my parents and who said according to my brother how it was impossible for him or my parents to die of old age. Faith I believe.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 talks of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the benefits, as the book I quoted from early says,
So much depended upon Messiah's resurrection, and the apostle Paul had suffered so much persecution for preaching it, that if Paul were a liar, then, as he wrote...
and Paul said "we are of all men most to be pitied"
again this was tied to the generation teaching.
Having had what the apostle Paul said regarding the resurrection of Christ tied to the generation teaching that in my opinion failed. I think it could cast a shadow over what Paul said.

As it I feel I would have to view what the apostle Paul said in the same light, but then we would be back to not claiming inspiration.
In the first century the good news preached about Christ by the apostles after the out pouring of Holy spirit as is spoken of in Acts 2 and i believe 1 Corinthians was written after this.The way that I understand it is that this scripture in Acts 2:17 where it talks of the pouring out God's spirit and they'will prophesy' which verse 16 shows to be quoting from the book of Joel is fulfilled in the remnant of anointed Christians from 1919 and the good news in Matthew 24 of which the Witnesses preach was realised in 1920.
