now, first off, there's no such thing.. but, let's imagine that we live in the same dimension as buffy (most of the guys and a few of the women start paying attention), or the anne rice novels, blade, whatever.. vampires are real.
god is distant and removed.
there is an epic, but drawn out and irresolvable struggle between good and evil.
Being a 2nd degree black belt in taekwando, I even have the black leather pants and black muscle shirt to go with it. Ive got the dark hair, dark eyes.. dark shades... Id LOVE IT.
like many, for years i understood the generation mentioned in matthew 24:34 to be an actual chronological generation that actually saw the events of 1914. this would mean that to be in a position to see and understand the events of 1914, someone would have to be at least 10 years old, and to be someone who actually fought in the great war, say 17 or 18 years old.
this generation has passed away, as clearly brought home with the recent death of the british queen mother who was born at the beginning of the 20th century.. whilst i understand the so called change of thought of a few years back that now makes this generation a contemporary rather than a chronological one, i cannot see how the guarantee that heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away sits with a much vaguer contemporary one.
if it is not possible to clearly define this generation, then this guarantee makes no sense.. has anyone heard of any new spins on the guarantee aspect, say from cos, dos, bethelites, etc, as the official lines have been particularly vague on this point?
Might I refer you to a few direct quotes from WT literature?
The May 1st, 1968 Watchtower, pg. 272 of the annual bound volume, located in paragraph 6 of the study article..says as follows:
Some of the generation that discerned the beginning of the time of the end in 1914 will still be alive on earth to witness the end of this present wicked system of things at the battle of Armageddon.-Rev. 16:14,16.
Of course we know that the WTBTS has changed their stance on this.
What does that prove?
They are LIARS. Bearing FALSE prophecies in God's name.
Since I am trying VERY hard to move past my angry stage with the WTBTS and to enjoy my youth a bit, I would like to:
Be the male actor chosen to perform in a Larry Flynt series called The World's Luckiest Man in which I get to screw over 100 of the top female porn stars in the industry in ONE day. Every race and color.. oh man its like a Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors session!
