Mentally lazy people may say, "The dropping of 1914 CE is merely a product of your fanciful imagination, the date marks an event grounded in Scripture revolving around the reality of God's Kingdom." However, those who make a studious examination, find statements such as these:
*** rs p. 97 par. 2 Dates *** Before the last members of the generation that was alive in 1914 will have passed off the scene, all the things foretold will occur, including the “great tribulation” in which the present wicked world will end.
The "Conscious Class of Watchtower Examiners" have lived to see, not the end of the "present wicked world" and the establishment of God's Kingdom on a paradise earth, rather, they have seen Watchtower Corporation drop "the generation of 1914" in a single Watchtower paragraph surrounded by worthless explanations and quotes that have already been discarded by now. Decades of prophecies and preaching and promising flushed down the "crapper of JW failed prophecies" in these few words:
*** w95 11/1 p. 17 par. 6 A Time to Keep Awake *** Eager to see the end of this evil system, Jehovah’s people have at times speculated about the time when the “great tribulation” would break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime of a generation since 1914. However, we “bring a heart of wisdom in,” not by speculating about how many years or days make up a generation, but by thinking about how we “count our days” in bringing joyful praise to Jehovah. (Psalm 90:12) Rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term “generation” as used by Jesus refers principally to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics.
Did you hear it? Yes, those with discerning ears are able to hear the sound of Watchtower Writing Department dumping another "false prophet turd", wiping themselves, and flushing. All the while, they shift the blame for the terrible smell in the Watchtower bathroom. "Jehovah’s people have at times speculated..." really ought to be "leadership of Watchtower Corporation used all the weight of their authority to prophecy the falsehood..."
Can't you just read it now?
Eager to see the end of this evil system, some self-serving "JW scholars" have at times run ahead of the organization, speculating about the significance of the year 1914, even tying this to calculations for Christ's Second Coming, "the Last Days", and the time when the “great tribulation” would break out. However, we “bring a heart of wisdom in,” not by speculating or debating the meaning surrounding some pagan dream of a Babylonian king who died thousands of years ago and the mathematical gymnastics needed to reach some year with invisible significance. Rather, right hearted individuals will obediently read only current issues of Watchtower magazine, thinking about how we “count our days” in bringing joyful praise to Watchtower's "Faithful Slave" class and its Governing Body. (Psalm 90:12; Jaracz 1:1-18) True Christians are happified to see all false prophets silenced in their false prophecies as they await their final destruction forever. Joyfully, Jehovah's servants in these "threshold days" eagerly await the start of the "Last Days" in 2033 and the "Great Tribulation" in 2057!
