New definition of "generation" from 1914 =160-180 years. Average lifespan is 70-80 years, so they will use 80-90 x 2 for their calculation. So...the FDS can stretch their doctrine out until 2094! JW's have a long, and exhausting marathon of futility ahead of them. It's really an incalculable amount to require of their members, with zero evidence of their being chosen by Jesus in 1914.

tootired, I don't worship the true God with an expiration date in mind for obvious reasons.- (Matt 24:36) Besides, what's a generation, or even overlapping generations when one has the possibility of living for eterninity all the while learning about Jehovah? While it's true that this system of things is still functioning longer than we anticipated, everyday still brings us closer to it's impending collapse and the signs are all there to reassure us. Besides, encroaching upon 2014, we're still closer to the end than our brethren were in the late 1800s, the early 1900s, mid 1900, latter 1900s, the early 80's, etc.. We're getting there, even if it does appear to be delaying. It may not come until 1934 or later, but it will come.-2 Pet 3:8,9; Hab 2:3
As Winston Churchill said, "that the task which has been set us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance."
Thanks for responding, and I get where you are coming from. When you say "the signs are all there to reassure us", what signs are you specifically referring to? Here are facts that don't track with some of the Watchtowers signs of the end, that they used to keep us urgent, while I was in for 35 years. What say you?
1. Whatever happened to the king of the north/south sign of an impending apocolypse?
2. Dwindling numbers of annointed, have greatly increased.
3. Why are large earthquakes at all time historical lows? [reference link]
4. Crime rates are the lowest they have ever been in recent times. [Economist link]Couldn't you say that things were much worse centuries and mellenia ago, when they had public bloody gladiator battles to the death for cheering crowds, or religious inquisitions, and crusades, and public stonings?

LOL...SFPW, is your sense of urgency renewed again now that it's no longer tied to dwindling numbers of annointed?

Well one thing that is clear from this, is that they've pinned themselves into just two consecutive generations for the time being. They probably did this to create another false basis for urgency in the R&F, like they did with the dwindling numbers of annointed in past times. Unfortunately with such trusting and low information members, this will probably work for a few years, before they change the teaching to be 3 generations and lather rinse and repeat the time tested formula for urgency.
This stuff makes my blood boil.

These people are evil, just evil! Will they ever be held accountable for the millions of lives they have misled and ruined?

Raise your beers to Mr Wallace !
by snare&racket insome people don't realise that attacking darwin's personal life over evolution is nonsensical as he was not the only scientist with the theory at the time.
many scientists were debating the idea including darwin's father and grandfather.
amongst the people throwing the theory around was a young poor welshman with a love for biology and questions, his name was alfred, yes everyone could calm down a welsh :) man called alfred wallace was also on the case...... many don't know that he contributed much to the theory too.

The "universal sovereignty" story is not Biblical.
True, but you have to admit it's good PR cover for god's program of allowing suffering for so many mellenia...LOL.

The Bible: Most flawed document ever?
by bboyneko ini came across this essay by joseph c. sommer:.
contradictions.
the fact that the bible contains contradictions is one reason why humanists consider the book to be an unreliable authority.

How could any god be rightly pleased with such a waste of something so precious: life? I wonder how Stand For Pure Worship will try to defend this...LOL.
