It's a bald-face lie. Same as a bare-faced lie. No mask, no beard, no anything to hide one's true emotions, a bald-faced lie is when someone looks you straight in the eye - and lies.

The GENERATION explanation is now a BOLD FACE LIE
by scotoma inwhen i first heard about the new "generation" explanation i was confused because i didn't see clearly how they were explaining it.. now it looks like they finally figured it out for themselves and it is no longer confusing.. it is now a simple, ignorant, bold face lie.. this is from the january 1st watchtower.
(and i hope to hell someone from writing gets wind of this).
paragraph 15 page 31 blue stands for the exact words in the watchtower.

Has it changed much?
When I was a kid we had to do 12 hours, then it was reduced to 10 in the mid 60's.
There were some weird quirks. A Bible study also counted as a return visit, although back then they were called back-calls.
There was a huge chart hanging at the front of every KH with all the targets and achievements listed. Totals and averages, everything. Pioneers were on the chart too, if there was only 1 pioneer everyone could see how he was performing.

Stand For Pure Worship, what convinces you that the governing body is being used by Jehovah? Thanks.

The GB, ie "Jehovah's organisation", are self-declared. They publish numerous WT articles in which they stress the importance of recognising the org as though they too are looking up to it. The reality is that their admonitions to venerate the org are nothing more than self-agrandisement. Even Jesus chose to be silent about his real identity before eventually agreeing to the fact that he was the Messiah. Contrast that attitude with the lack of reluctance on the part of Brooklyn when they claim that they have their own private pipeline to God!

The approaching peace of a 1000 years. WT 10-15-69
36 After this taking away of all human and demon obstructors of world peace there will come the reign of the Prince of Peace over all the earth. God’s fixed time for this is approaching, and along with it the peace of a thousand years. A thousand years equals a millennium. This reminds us of something said in the aforementioned inaugural speech of the American president on January 20, 1969. He remarked upon the approach of things of interest to Americans and to all Christendom.
In the eighth paragraph of his speech the newly sworn-in president said:“Eight years from now America will celebrate its 200th anniversary as a nation. And within the lifetime of most people now living, mankind will celebrate that great new year which comes only once in a thousand years—the beginning of the third millennium.” The president was referring to A.D. 2001.
The next remarks of the president showed that he expected there to be an America in the first year of that third millennium. But for God-fearing students of the Holy Bible containing both the ancient Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures, there is a more important millennium that compels their attention. That is the seventh millennium! No, not the seventh millennium measured from A.D. 1, but the seventh millennium of man’s existence here on earth, the seventh millennium measured from God’s creation of perfect man and woman in the garden of Eden. This is usually measured according to the Anno Mundi rule or “In the Year of the World” calendar, the world of mankind being here meant.
Does this fact have any bearing on the approach of the peace of a thousand years or of a millennium? Very apparently Yes! According to the calendar of the Orthodox Jews, the new American president delivered his inaugural speech at the beginning of the fifth lunar month of the year 5729 A.M., this date being based on the ancient Hebrew Scriptures alone. But according to chronologers or time checkers who take into account also the inspired Christian Greek Scriptures, the Jewish calendar is more than two hundred years behind time. In certain editions of the Holy Bible, Catholic and Protestant, there have appeared dates according to the chronology of the noted Irish Anglican prelate, Archbishop James Ussher (1581-1656 C.E.). Ussher’s date for man’s creation is 4004 B.C.E. By this reckoning six thousand years or six millenniums of man’s existence would end in the autumn of the coming year of 1996 C.E. after which the seventh millennium of man’s existence would start.
39 More recently earnest researchers of the Holy Bible have made a recheck of its chronology. According to their calculations the six millenniums of mankind’s life on earth WOULD END IN THE MID SEVENTIES. Thus the seventh millennium from man’s creation by Jehovah God would BEGIN WITHIN LESS THAN TEN YEARS.
40 Apart from the global change that present-day world conditions indicate is fast getting near, the arrival of the seventh millennium of man’s existence on earth suggests a gladsome change for war-stricken humankind. According to the first two chapters of the Holy Bible man and woman were created toward the close of the sixth creative day. We are now living in the seventh creative day, and on this seventh day Jehovah God has been resting from earthly creation. To run parallel with this resting of God on his seventh creative day, he gave the Ten Commandments to his prophet Moses, in the fourth one of which God commanded that his chosen people should rest on the seventh day of the week.(Ex. 20:8-11) That day was therefore the weekly sabbath day, the day of desistance from human toil.
