moses has a history of what 80+ years as a servant of jehovah ?
in one form or another .. moses wrote / penned the first five books of the bible and went through many trials and tribulations in serving his god jehovah in his long lifetime.interacting with god at times.. jesus was born and nothing is recorded of him until he is a young adolescent child ?
and very little about him.. then we are introduced to him when he is 30 years old and gets baptised ,and only then does he start his preaching .. does he start preaching to the world ?
The rest of Christianity saw him as king from the time of his birth, which the feast of Epiphany (January 6 on the Christian calendar) annually marks (the visit of the Magi)
David Jay, thank you, a really great, informative t read.
re: the above point: consider Col. 1:13. --" transplanted us into the kingdom of the son of his love. Paul considered the kingdom to exist then, -- prior to 1914.
you dont have be alive to 2075 to prove that the wt's anointed generation is and will prove to be wrong, it is!
and you can do it now, by asking just one question:.
does the "generation" prophecy of math.
You must speak more plainly. Steve:
I have been trying to do that, and nobody gets the subtle, but crucial point, I am trying to have people figure it out by themselves. Nobody (including often me, really reads the opening post), sorry. but:
The anointed generation will have to pass away sooner or later. Jesus said it will, but not until "all these things have to happen". right? so:
Is Armageddon included in the Math 24 prophecy? if yes, look at the David Splane's or wt charts, and the answer stares you in the face.
picture yourself as a member of the brooklyn bethel family on friday morning, october 2, 1914. you are seated at your usual place at the breakfast table, awaiting the arrival of brother c. t. russell.
suddenly the door to the dining room opens and brother russell appears.
he pauses for a moment, as is his custom, and greets the bethel family with a cheery “good morning, all.” but then, instead of immediately taking his place at the head of the table, he claps his hands and makes a thrilling announcement: “the gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day!” you can hardly contain your joy—you have been looking forward to this moment for a long time!
the flow of Steve2's opening post: Nathan,
thank you for reminding me, i again am guilty of not re-reading, and then ignoring , the important opening post. Bsw, your name picture reminds me of standing behind that imposing person of Nathan H. Knorr, for a long time (like David in the cave behind Saul) ha ha, while he read his favoured magazine: -- Time.
why does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
" as having overlapping generations ?
and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?
As I said, they are dead.
Steve, that would be too easy, we want to see some more comedy from them.

"One hundred twenty more - wait for 2034!" Nathan, great,
you are into poems today, but its 1914 plus 120 more= 2034. we have it easier now:
2016 : only eighteen more to go to 2-oh-34 it is Rev. magic. 18 X 6.66 = 120.

overlapping generation is a joke Steve,
agreed, but I was not mentioning the overlapping generation. It is the anointed generation, before it even had to start overlapping. The overlap is the icing on the cake, the meat of the pie is in the definition, mathematically of the anointed generatio. that is why the "Armageddon in Mat. 24" is relevant to stop wt. it's claim to be spirit directed.

doing is Arithmetic . Natas:
a very lucid comment. in Math, a formula is defined by it's parameters, and the anointed generation wt equation is a failure, because the end term is outside what the jesus quotation allows? please try, thank you.

The '75 teaching is almost unknown to JWs under 40.
It is irrelevant, but that's just my opinion. Steve:
Yours is a solid opinion.but, I used the "75" only to mark the repeated pattern of wt splicing the old yarn of the end and also to catch the attention of the over 40 year olds, way less than half my age. so:
today, we do not have to wait, like in 1969, whether there is any truth to the wt "expectations" .because answering the Math.24 "armageddon spoken about here? " question, will settle the case right here. so, any takers?

Stay above the floor until 2034!" Nice: Nathan, and:
Head out the door way before 2034. ha ha.
but ask me: why does answering the" Armageddon in Math 24" question prove that we do not have to wait until the rhime arrives in time? to see that the anointed generation is rubbish?, apart even from the overlap?

Prologos, all the guys that pushed '75 are dead. Tevie Wonder Boy,
sorry, I too pushed that "75-- then paradise" idea, second hand of course. My thread is not about the past but the now. wt now promotes the anointed generation lasting to 2075, but it was dead already when it was written, a decade ago, and i started this to be asked to prove to those that still need that additional profo.
