In the April 15, 2010 "study issue" of the Watchtower magazine, the doctrine of the "generation" has changed yet again. Until 1995, the "generation" was defined as that group of people who had been alive in 1914. It was taught that at least some members of that generation would see the "end of the system of things" and the institution of God's Kingdom on earth.

According to the new teaching, the "generation" is now to be understood differently. The magazine says, "How, then, are we to understand Jesus’ words about “this generation”? He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed whowere on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." So now the new teaching is that those whose lives overlapped with the members of the 1914 generation will see the end come within their lifetimes. A few of the 1914 generation are still alive, though they are almost 100 years old.

According to the Watchtower's new teaching, therefore, anyone who is alive now, even small children, can comprise part of the "generation" that will see the end. It seems quite possible under those circumstances that the Watchtower may have bought itself another 60 or 70 years before this new prophecy fails. Unfortunately, the former teaching about the "generation" was presented as "the Creator's promise" and "Jehovah's prophetic word." So the JW leadership has already branded itself as a false prophet, and no person who wishes to follow Christ should give them credence (Deut. 18:20-22).

I talked to Tom McGovern tonight.. one of the guest speakers here. He was very nice as was his wife in regards to not wanting those spies (as what JW authorities do to others that were formerly there own,) :long winded topic please disregard:

I just wanted to say to stay away from such an organization. I do not like idols that put themselves in front of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That, my bros and sis's is apostasy. I abhor the word thrown out like that, but Jesus warns us of such.

Any which way you choose to see it, may the Lord Yahweh bless you (my personal liking of the Holy Name) through Jesus Christ our one and Only Lord and Saviour. Amen
