Luke 21:27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.
Mark 13:26
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and
glory. 27 And then he will send forth the angels and will
gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth’s extremity to
heaven’s extremity.
Matthew
24:30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all
the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see
the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31
And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will
gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the
heavens to their other extremity.
So are you
saying the above has already been fulfilled???

Actually they have not failed in what they have
said/taught…it just depends on how you view it. This is why many here are just
angry and lost because you are viewing and focusing on the so-called failures
of the WTS/GB that it causes you to disregard the bible and even doubt Jehovah
and Jesus or even doubt that they exist (for some of you)…that you don’t
realize that you should be grateful that the WTS/GB is the way it is. The
WTS/GB are not failing but are instead are succeeding in what they are doing.
Again, it is all in how you look at it…:)
[3-15-13 WT- THE churches of
Christendom have generally avoided using God’s name. For example, the
introduction of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible
says that it is “entirely inappropriate” for the church to call God by any
name.
2 In contrast,
Jehovah’s Witnesses are proud to be called by God’s name and to honor it.
(Read Psalm 86:12; Isaiah 43:10.)]
[6-1-91 WT- Like ancient Jerusalem, Christendom
looks to worldly alliances for security, and her clergy refuse to take
refuge in Jehovah. Why, they do not even use his name, and they
mock and persecute those who do honor that name.]
[9-15-10
WT- The Governing Body
publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages.
This spiritual food is based on God’s Word. Thus, what is
taught is not from men but from Jehovah.—Isa. 54:13.]
[Ezekiel 13:1 And the word of Jehovah continued
to occur to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning
the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you must say to those
prophesying out of their own heart, ‘Hear the word of Jehovah. 3
This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Woe to the stupid prophets,
who are walking after their own spirit, when there is nothing that they have
seen! 4 Like foxes in the devastated places are what your own
prophets have become, O Israel. 5 YOU men will certainly not
go up into the gaps, neither will YOU build up a stone wall in behalf of the
house of Israel, in order to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.” 6
“They have visioned what is untrue and a lying divination,
those who are saying, ‘The utterance of Jehovah is,’ when Jehovah
himself has not sent them, and they have waited to have a word come true.
7 Is it not an untrue vision that YOU men have visioned, and
a lying divination that YOU have said, when saying, ‘The utterance of
Jehovah is,’ when I myself have spoken nothing?”’ 8
“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “‘For the reason
that YOU men have spoken untruth and YOU have visioned
a lie, therefore here I am against YOU,’ is the utterance of the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah.” 9 And my hand has come to be against the
prophets that are visioning untruth and that are divining a lie.
In the intimate group of my people
they will not continue on, and in the register of the house of Israel they will
not be written, and to the soil of Israel they will not come; and YOU people
will have to know that I am the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, 10 for the
reason, yes, for the reason that they have led my
people astray, saying, “There is peace!” when there is
no peace, and there is one that is building a partition wall, but in vain there
are those plastering it with whitewash.’11 “Say to those plastering
with whitewash that it will fall. A flooding downpour
will certainly occur, and YOU, O hailstones, will fall, and a blast of
windstorms itself will cause a splitting. 12 And, look! the
wall must fall. Will it not be said to YOU men, ‘Where is the coating with
which YOU did the plastering?’13 “Therefore this is what the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘I will also cause a blast of windstorms to
burst forth in my rage, and in my anger there will occur a flooding downpour,
and in rage there will be hailstones for an extermination. 14
And I will tear down the wall that YOU men have plastered with whitewash and
bring it into contact with the earth, and its foundation must be exposed. And
she will certainly fall, and YOU must come to an end in the midst of her; and
YOU will have to know that I am Jehovah.’ 15 “‘And I
will bring my rage to its finish upon the wall and upon those plastering it
with whitewash, and I shall say to YOU men: “The wall is no
more, and those plastering it are no more, 16 the prophets of
Israel that are prophesying to Jerusalem and that are visioning for her a
vision of peace, when there is no peace,”’ is the utterance of the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah.]
