    It's not an answer to your question, but I'd never heard about the generation teaching till I joined this board. I was 9 when it was changed in 1995, and I don't remember it. I asked a few of my JW friends around my age and none them had heard of it either. I found it amazing how easily the Society managed to cover up such a major teaching in such a short amount of time.

    When they made the change in 1995, puzzled.

    When I found out that all jw teachings, including that one, are bs, angry and hurt.

    I'm sure it was shocking Outlaw! I can only imagine the disappointment those Witnesses must have felt in 1995 when they were told that maybe Armageddon wasn't as close as they first thought... I guess the same feeling as those poor Witnesses living through January 1st 1976.

    Zico..I was there in the years before 1975..The preaching of that date was relentless..If you disagreed you could be Disfellowshipped..WBT$ dedicated articles in the WatchTower and Awake to support that date..Now ask any JW if the year 1975 was preached from door to door.They will say no,because they`ve been told to,by the WBT$.The same organization that told them to go out and preach that date..The date 1975 was tossed in the garbage can..At least the 1914 Generation had something to land on when they got tossed in the can..LOL!!...OUTLAW

    Me too - I remember the hype. Yet recently I mentioned this to a dub who relentlessly pushed 1975, and it was as if it had been completely deleted from their mind - denied ever knowing about 1975
