Russell had predicted a few different, earlier dates, before he set on 1914 as the end of the world. The others were obviously wrong, nothing happened. In 1914 World War I started. Lucky Russell! It looked like finally maybe he was right this time. So he stood up in that dining hall and announced the end of the gentile times!! But the end didn't come. It was just a big war. So he said, Christ's presence is actually INVISIBLE, whoops! But he's here! Believe you me! And they got themselves so into the 1914 date, after saying it had already happened, that they were stuck. They said this scripture Jesus mentioned describing the destruction of Jerusalem, that's actually in reference to 1914, and the great triibulation will be in our time for the REAL fulfillment...any day now....any....day....now.....while that generation that saw 1914 got older and older. They have basically found creative ways to string people along for over a HUNDRED YEARS AFTER 1914. They often changed how long a generation was supposed to be. And then they kept changing how old someone had to be in 1914 so that they would be old enough to comprehend what was going on. Toward the end they could be 4 years old in 1914. When it was 100 years after 1914 and obviously that generation wasn't around anymore, they had to try to give themselves time SOMEHOW. So David splane did the weird unbiblical crossover generation thing. Which could conceivably buy them 80 more years! And you know, don't question them, because they are always right.
