    The Sheep and the Goats

    31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

    Years ago I read an interesting article about why WT in the mid 1990's had to change the teaching of the separating of the sheep and goats (Matt 25:31-33) It may have even been on e-watchman's site or somewhere else. Does anyone have links to a discussion on this?

    Thanks

    A google search has provided the following article

    http://www.watchman.org/articles/jehovahs-witnesses/watchtower-society-redefines-1914-generation/

    Apparently the Society feels that the judgment period has stretched too far. Its been over 80 years since the judgment began in 1914. They are now saying the Bible, "does not show that such judging would continue over an "extended period of many years" (Watchtower, 15 October 1995, p. 22
