questions about the generation of 1914

1: what is the new understanding of the "generation of 1914"?.

11: in 1980, and before that, it was said that the people alive in 1914 who make up "this generation" that will not pass away, had to have been old enough to understand what was happening in 1914 (at least 10 to 15 years old), and that some of these would live to see the start of the great tribulation.

on the net you see many talk about 1975 and how it affected so many.

obviously, some left the organization when nothing happened in 1975. were you personally affected by 1975?

has the fixing of dates been a major reason for your disappointment with the witnesses?

just a quickie, as far as the date - 1975 - is concerned, was there ever a printed document through the wts that stated that this year would be the absolute final date for the big a ?.

or was it just rumours amongst the brothers ?.

Tape record Oct. 7 meeting
by comment in
1. jw
2. friends
could anyone who is attending the special meeting on october 7 arrange to tape record it?.

it would probably not be that hard to bring in one of those mini-cassette recorders and at least capture part of what is said.. i am sure others who are unable to attend the meeting would be interested in hearing a recording.

and if it turns out to be a "historic occasion," it would be nice for the world to have a document of it.. comment
