I do recall some pontification about this article way back then.
JW's are always trying to pin down a date.

I realize the theme of this thread is the WTs carrot and stick approach to sheparding.... but as a textual critical note the line has nothing to do with the flood stories that were inserted into the narrative. Lift the flood and tower story out and you have a continuous J (Yahwist) narrative. God decrees a limit to the lifespan of humans, (he would remove his "spirit" from them so that they would become mortals even though his "sons' were having children with humans). J has no one die (other than Abel being murdered) before this and no one live longer than 120 years from there forward. The composite nature of Genesis has obscured a rather simple narrative.
