I agree
ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room. The generation was clearly something that existed at the time the words were spoken.
It's only through typology that JW's and kindred groups have given it a secondary meaning.

Recount in AZ resumes today.
Developments over the last week or so:
Subcontractor for Cyber Ninjas states that a database directory was deleted based on errors in his R-Studio technician software
Senate President Karen Fann demands a public response from the Board of Supervisors
Trump gets wind of it and claims the entire database was deleted
Board of Supervisors, which is actually more strongly Republican than the Senate, is furious at:
a. Being accused of something illegal
b. Facilitating Biden's victory in Maricopa County
Board of Supervisors fires back a 17 page technical response stating that subcontractor misconfigured his virtual RAID settings and pointing out that they have exact clones of the array which function perfectly.
Karen Fann laments the fact that BOS has taken this so personally
Attorney for the BOS sends Karen Fann a "hold letter" (i.e. Retain all documents) which usually means lawsuit

The year 1914 was 107 years ago and we still await the kingdom...that is untenable and must be wrong
I have to agree.
The clock started ticking when the Great Crowd was identified. In order to have any prospect of surviving the great tribulation, those people needed to at least live to see it. Otherwise they were not even prospective members of the Great Crowd.
Although I admire Neil's tenacity after a fashion, the defense of 1914 only exacerbates this problem.

......AND here is the official Twitter account of the senate liaison for the audit.
Maricopa Arizona Audit (@ArizonaAudit) / Twitter
More to the point, here is an interview with the audit liaison and former Senate President, Ken Bennet on the 12th, just before the audit was paused and the ballots went back into storage.
https://twitter.com/brahmresnik/status/1392702846697541632
Here is the amendment to the rental contract of the Coliseum, signed by Karen Fann herself, which clearly shows that the ballots were going to be stored from the 12th to 23th:

I'd also like to point out that all the players involved in this audit are active on Twitter and you can get updates directly from the politicians themselves if you're interested in this sort of thing. (It really is unprecedented)
Karen Fann (@FannKfann) is the Senate President and primary mover and shaker behind the audit.
Maricopa Country (@maricopacounty) is the mouthpiece of the Board of Supervisors, who oppose the audit
The Senate and Board of Supervisors are both strongly Republican, so although there has been some backbiting, it is not as partisan as it is being presented nationally.

As a resident of Maricopa County and someone who follows politics pretty closely, I'd like to point out a few things
1. Maricopa County is not conducting an audit. They've already conducted two and don't see a point in a third.
2. The audit of votes cast in Maricopa County is actually being conducted at the behest of the Arizona State Senate
3. The Senate hired a Florida group by the name of "Cyber Ninjas" to conduct this audit.
4. Said audit was only about 1/4 of the way done when it was paused because of a rental conflict at the Veteran's Memorial Coliseum where it was being conducted. The ballots are currently being stored in a vacant building at Wesley Bolin Plaza
5. The audit is scheduled to resume on Monday the 24th, 2021 with about a two-week projected completion
6. Maricopa county not the whole state. We have 15 counties. Even if a serious irregularity is found, that won't necessarily mean that Trump carried the state. .

It never hurts to vet your sources. The one you quoted from is garbage.

What police have to deal with
by LoveUniHateExams inso, the actions of cops have come under scrutiny in recent days, what with the trial of derek chauvin and the death of daunte wright.
i certainly hope justice is served in both those cases.. what is easy for people to forget, is just what police officers have to deal with on a regular basis, during their interactions with citizens.. here's a video breaking down one such interaction.. a car owner was driving his car but the tags weren't legally displayed.
cops wanted him to pull over but the driver continued driving for a mile and a half with a police car following with sirens and lights.

This was a felony stop. Gutierrez states that to the dispatcher as he exits the vehicle
A temporary vehicle license out of place is not a felony. It's not a misdemeanor either. It's actually a minor civil infraction that usually results in a warning.
Once it became apparent that this was the only thing amiss and the vehicle was not stolen, which was very early on, the justification for the felony stop came to an end and it was time for the officers to change tactics. The Windsor Chief of Police has acknowledged as much himself.
To quibble over whether Nazario was too slow to comply with an unjustified level of force misses the point that the level of force was unjustified.
Brandon Tatum, who is the author of the 33 minute YouTube video at the start of this thread is either misinformed or lying on a number of fronts. He claims it was a traffic stop. It most certainly was not as Gutierrez clearly stated. As a former Tucson police officer, Tatum would have been familiar with the procedure for stopping safely in Arizona, which I've posted on this thread. His righteous indignation that Nazario proceeded for almost another mile in a state with a virtually identical procedure is therefore either disingenuous or ignorant.. His claim that Nazario didn't even slow down is demonstrably false as it's contradicted by the transcript of Crocker's radio communications. The guy's videos are frankly garbage. I've no interest in watching any more of them and am surprised that you do.
It the spirit of your thread though, I agree that it's very easy to criticize and much, much harder to do quality police work. Anyone who can do it and maintain their composure is a much, much better person than I am.

my comments on #2 and #3 point out the responsibility of the army driver to comply with orders, something he repeatedly refused to do (I'm talking about the clear orders when just one cop is talking)
This is what I saw and heard: (Time stamps are from Gutierrez bodycam)
18:36:16 - Crocker - Unintelligible (Gutierrez is exiting vehicle)
18:36:20 - Crocker to Nazario "Put your hands out the window"
18:36:23 - Crocker to Nazario "Put your hands out the window"
18:36:26 - Crocker to Nazario "Turn the vehicle off and put your hands out the window"
18:36:30 - Gutierrez to Crocker "How many occupants?"
18:36:38 - Crocker to Nazario "Put your hands out the vehicle and turn the vehicle off" [sic]
18:36:46 - Crocker to Nazario "Put your hands out the window"
18:36:52 - Gutierrez to Crocker "Coming around your side"
18:36:53 - Crocker to Nazario "Let's see your hands"
18:36:58 - Crocker to Nazario "How many occupants are in your vehicle?"
18:36:59 - Crocker to Nazario "How many occupants are in your vehicle?"
18:37:00 - Gutierrez levels his pistol and we can now finally see what Nazario's hands are out the window.
I'm going to have to disagree with the description of, "clear orders when just one cop is talking."
Crocker's orders become mixed almost immediately and are dangerously contradictory at about the 20 second point.
The cops shouldn't have made mistakes. They should have issued clear orders. But....
I keep hearing the word, "but" as justification for two officers going even farther down the bad path they've taken but it doesn't work that way. The law doesn't work that way. Law enforcement doesn't work that way.
Honest questions for you LUHE:
Do you understand the type of stop this was? (Gutierrez states it at 18:36:20)
Do you understand that these stops must rest on reasonable suspicion the suspect is a dangerous felon?
And that without that reasonable suspicion, the officers are on the wrong side of the law themselves?
With respect, LUHE, you've picked a horrible example. And we haven't even gotten to the threats of false charges and the ruining Nazaio's career yet.

I Care a Lot (2020) One of the worst movies I think I've ever seen
by TD inmy wife and i were intrigued by the trailer, which looked like a humorous, over the top, dark comedy.. the story centers around the unscrupulousness of a female attorney named marla grayson (rosamund pike) who makes her living by preying on old people.
grayson has her victims declared mentally incompetent, locks them away in a care facility she has bought off and then liquidates and pockets their assets as their court appointed guardian.. (spoilers ahead).
ms. grayson humorously makes the mistake of singling out a seemingly helpless retiree name jennifer peterson (dianne wiest) as her next target.. grayson however, quickly discovers that peterson has millions of dollars in diamonds in a safe deposit box and far from being helpless is the mother of roman lunyov, (peter dinklage) a russian mafia figure who is not terribly happy with this turn of events.. up to this point, the movie was great.

The sudden change in direction really ruins the movie for everyone. The character Marla literally does not have a single redeeming characteristic and is nobody even the SJW crowd would want.
Worse, all the wildly improbable plot elements which should have been funny suddenly have to be taken seriously.
There's a scene for example where Marla is chloroformed, has half a bottle of Vodka pumped into her stomach via nasogastric tube, is placed in her car with the throttle jammed wide open and launched down a hill towards a river.
Not only does Marla magically wake up with all her faculties intact, she suddenly has the superhuman strength to knock the back window out of the car and escape without so much as a hangover.
Villains who refuse to die are not uncommon in comedy, (Jaws from James Bond) the supernatural, (Samara & Chucky) or science fiction (The Terminator) but it just doesn't work here.
The audience is left floundering for a plausible explanation, with some even speculating that Marla really didn't survive and everything afterwards is hallucination as she drowns.

The story centers around the unscrupulousness of a female attorney named Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) who makes her living by preying on old people
Grayson has her victims declared mentally incompetent, locks them away in a care facility she has bought off and then liquidates and pockets their assets as their court appointed guardian.
(Spoilers ahead)
Ms. Grayson humorously makes the mistake of singling out a seemingly helpless retiree name Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest) as her next target.
Grayson however, quickly discovers that Peterson has millions of dollars in diamonds in a safe deposit box and far from being helpless is the mother of Roman Lunyov, (Peter Dinklage) a Russian Mafia figure who is not terribly happy with this turn of events.
Up to this point, the movie was great. We have Grayson as the predatory but naive attorney who believes all conflicts are resolved in a court room and Lunyov as the angry bear who executes people for disappointing him. It could have been a very funny movie along the lines of Some Like It Hot, Wise Guys and Mickey Blue Eyes.
Only it wasn't.
It was like the original director quit half-way through and another one took over who had an entirely different vision.
The movie morphs into an empowerment piece for the female LGBTQ community without a vestige of humor or shred of realism and with a female character that was portrayed as thoroughly despicable emerging as the heroine.
Two thumbs down. --Complete waste of time IMHO
