1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

The wt's 1995 Great Crowd Hope idea can be illustrated as water particles that are lifted in a moving tidal wave, with high hopes, to crest, but that sinking low, , disappear in the froth, as the wave passes along in time. Only when the wave gets caught behind the breakwater, in the tidal pool, will it become the retained mass of the "great crowd,"
The wave energy is the wt push for prosylation, service, service. service.
preaching of empty promises. the next promise is the resurrection, but is it more believable than the failed fleeting first high hope of becoming part of the Great Crowd?

But if you are looking for a major wt study article explaining the whole thing, JW don’t do things like that. Sometimes they do but sometimes wt gradually or subtly makes change such as the Awake article on earthquakes
FM. yes to be precise, it was on page 31 of the April 15 wt mag. 1995 (to answer Proton's earlier question page 1). I still have it pasted in my 1984 study NWT. to show speakers that they are not following wt new light protocol. made me very popular.

Regarding your interpretation of the Bible, there are many interpretations. We have to wait and see how everything plays out.
Fisher man, My only hope is, that whatever is valid in the scriptures Rev 11:18 will happen. NIV: "-- Lord God-- you will destroy those destroying the Earth.", before it is too late and Isaiah 40 :31 " those that hope-- will soar on wings like eagles.".
In the meantime it it is good to take note how wt doctrines , prophecies are unfulfillable.

protecting the oldest generation.
by waton inthis tree is named after a general, because the us called in the army to protect these oldtimers; now wrapped in a fire proof blanket.
(it has already a 4 feet fireproof bark).

Nature did take its course and we evolved to destroy everything.
DG: There are now 1000 people that have not fully evolved in Canada, that have been arrested by the Royal Canadian police, of all people, for protecting, and blocking access the killing fields of the last of these growing giants. Shame on the Royal cmp for that. A blotch on their record.
nbd: re naming: A small grove has been named after the most voracious company that plundered all the rest. McMillan. Bloede[l] not a person of color but a black mark on Canada's legacy

I don’t see much of difference in the context of the return of Christ.
Fm: right, when the generation mentioned by Jesus passes on, after the big destruction, time will be up.

Actftu: I stand corrected, thank you. generations of all different people run concurrently, nevertheless.

The generation meaning has to be a group of people and not a time period.
Actftu: Jesus was answering an Italian's, a gentil's question, it is not just one group, like Jewish people, or OS, or anointed jws. and
Every generation, regardless of composition, has a shelf life. time [ing] is common to all of them. .

the “great crowd” as representing all those persons who are not of the heavenly “bride” class, or 144,000 sealed ones, but who stand approved at the time of the “great tribulation” and are preserved alive on earth.” —Insight on the Scriptures
Fisherman : as you know, verse 21 of that prophecy defines the greatest calamity ever to happen on this planet. verse 34 states then (in other words) that the generation in question passes away after everything is calm again. The whole generation, all of them, pass away.
That is not "millions living will never die". wt is wrong, the generation never was the GC of OS. and
that is not the anointed either, because they die before, not after the great tribulation and its culmination, Armageddon.
even "the historically bad system of people" in the 1995 generation definition dont fit the bill, because they die before the end too, not after all has happened.
Based on the latest understanding of how some parts of prophecy might not have a greater fulfillment, this could apply to 1914 generation fulfillment.
fisherman, are you defending wt then, with this proviso?
the dying, passing away of the generation does not apply? After all, the generation is defined by its beginning 1914, and it's end, death, disappearance, or rising of a new generation, is it not?
Jesus words in verse 21 puts clear restraints on that. they all die after surviving armageddon.
wt's second fulfilment has no connection to reality, except to prove how wrong they are.
enJoy.
