According to the Watchtower Online Library the term or phrase “1914” has not appeared in their literature for over 5 years.

How Often is 1914 Openly Spoken of at the Meetings?
by Number 6 inas someone who left in 1991 aged 21, one of my overriding memories of growing up in the watchtower was being able to "prove" the end times by referencing 1914.. major change in 95 then again after that.
if i'm being honest i could not even tell you now what the current teaching is.. for those who still attend the meetings, is it still openly spoken about?
i genuinely curious as i wonder if the teaching will be altogher dropped eventually, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is to stop speaking about it.

QUOTE from The Watchtower :
The “last days” contain their own unique grouping of marks, or events, forming a positive “fingerprint” that cannot belong to any other time period.
When the many factors are put together, we find that our generation, our day is the one that is identified in the Bible as the “last days.” In fact, in this year 1967 we are actually living in the final part of that time! This can be compared to, not just the last day of a week, but, rather, the last part of that last day.

While not dealing with the so-called ‘colour’ of people, it is worth considering the article “Are Black and White Colours?” by software developer, Adobe, which stated:
“Some consider white to be a colour, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a colour, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colours, they're shades.”

Here:

The irony of this illustration in the JW world is that while a human can challenge jehovah (who the JWs teach cannot err) NO ONE can challenge the governing body (who the JWs teach can err).
