  You're going to grow old and gray

  And if you ever have children so will they

  So remember me on this very day

  When in defiance of your false prophet

  I lift up my voice and say

  You, your children and their grandchildren

  Are going to grow old and gray

  All of you who follow the Watchtower way

  Do not look upon tomorrow with conceit and arrogance

  For you will be humbled, bowing, no more haughty stance

  Just remember me on that future day

  When you finally have grown old and gray

  Remember your foolish lie

  When it's time for you to die

  That is to the point. Problem is that each new generation gets sucked into believing they are THE generation that will never die.

  Not gonna happen. It often takes a few decades of experience before the young realize it. It just keeps on going round and round.

  People need to live with the knowledge that they will grow old and die. It's rough accepting death when you've convinced yourself it won't happen to you.
