PROOF exactly why the Watchtower is Wrong about 607 BCE being the destruction of Jerusalem, and beginning a bogus count of 2,520 years to come up with the "Gentile Times" ending in 1914 with WORLD DESTRUCTION!

NEW GENERATION DEFINED -- April 15, 2010 WatchtowerJehovah's Witnesses have known for some time that they will have to again move their Armageddon clock up to fit the times. The chart below will demonstrate that, thanks to an anonymous writer.

Holy Spirit’s Role in the Outworking of
Jehovah’s Purpose
13 Third, holy spirit is at work in bringing Bible truths to light. (Prov. 4:18)
This magazine has long been used by “the faithful and discreet slave” as the
primary channel for dispensing increased light. (Matt. 24:45) For example,
consider our understanding of those who make up “this generation” mentioned by
Jesus. (Read Matthew 24:32- 34.) To what generation did Jesus refer? The
article “Christ’s Presence—What Does It Mean to You?” explained that Jesus was
referring, not to the wicked, but to his disciples, who were soon to be
anointed with holy spirit. Jesus’ anointed followers, both in the first century
and in our day, would be the ones who would not only see the sign but also
discern its meaning—that Jesus “is near at the doors.”
14 What does this explanation mean to us? Although we cannot measure the exact
length of “this generation,” we do well to keep in mind several things about the
word “generation”: It usually refers to people of varying ages whose lives
overlap during a particular time period; it is not excessively long; and it has
an end. (Ex. 1:6) How, then, are we to understand Jesus’ words about “this
generation”? He evidently meant that the lives of the
anointed who were 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. That generation had a beginning, and it surely will
have an end. The fulfillment of the various features of the sign clearly
indicate that the tribulation must be near. By maintaining your sense of urgency
and keeping on the watch, you show that you are keeping up with advancing light
and following the leadings of holy spirit.—Mark 13:37.
Now we are dealing with TWO generations!
