1914 - A geração que não passará - Profetizou a Torre!

Uma fragrante prova da farsa tj.

[Ramiro Freitas]

Quanto tempo dura uma geração?
37/40 ANOS?
A destruição de Jerusalém em 70 dC aconteceu 37 anos após a morte de Jesus. 1914 +37 = 1951:

"By keeping the people ignorant they led them into having Jesus killed on a torture stake at Calvary. Thirty-seven years later this willfully cultivated ignorance led to its fatal consequences, the destruction of the city of Jerusalem with an enormous loss of human lives, just as Jesus had predicted, and the breaking up of the Jewish nation till this day. And now in this "time of the end" the revived nation of Israel with capital at the modern city of Jerusalem chooses to go on in the steps of its forefathers . . ." (Watchtower, 1º de Novembro de 1950 p 277; see also Nov. 1 1950 p 407)
"The length of time is indicated by him when he said, "Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur." (Matt. 24:34) The actual meaning of these words is, beyond question, that which takes a "generation" in the ordinary sense, as at Mark 8:12 and Acts 13:36, or for those who are living at the given period." (Watchtower, 1º de Julho de 1951, p. 404)
"Counting from the end of the "appointed times of the nations" in 1914, we are 37 years into the "time of the end" of this world. (Luke 21:24, Dan. 12:4) During these crucial years Jehovah's witnesses have sought shelter and strength in him, and they can confess for themselves that he is a "well-proved help in trouble". If it were not for this, they would not be here today nor increasing in numbers. But we are entering the most serious and trialsome years of this "time of the end". The final conflict of Armageddon draws near." (Watchtower, 15 de Fevereiro de 1951 p 179)
"WHEREAS the "appointed times of the nations" ended in 1914, it is now 37 years that we have been in the "time of the end" of Satan's world." (Watchtower, 1º de Abril de 1951 p 214)

70/80 ANOS?

"Webster's unabridged dictionary gives, in part, this definition of generation: "The average lifetime of man, or the ordinary period of time at which one rank follows another, or father is succeeded by child; an age. A generation is usually taken to be about 33 years." But the Bible is not so specific. It gives no number of years for a generation. And in Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30 and Luke 21:32, the texts mentioning the generation the question refers to, we are not to take generation as meaning the average time for one generation to be succeeded by the next, as Webster's does in its 33-year approximation; but rather more like Webster's first-quoted definition, "the average lifetime of man." Three or even four generations may be living at the same time, their lives overlapping. (Ps. 78:4; 145:4) Before the Noachian flood the life span was hundreds of years. Down through the centuries since, it has varied, and even now is different in different countries. The Bible does speak of a man's days as being threescore and ten or fourscore years; but it assigns no specific number of years to a generation. - Ps. 90:10." (Watchtower, Sept. 1 1952 pp 542-543)
"To try to say how many years before its end would be speculative. The texts merely set a limit that is sufficiently definite for all present practical purposes. Some persons living A.D. 1914 when the series of foretold events began will also be living when the series ends with Armageddon. All the events will come within the span of a generation. There are hundreds of millions of persons living now that were living in 1914, and many millions of these persons could yet live a score or more years. Just when the lives of the majority of them will be cut short by Armageddon we cannot say." (Watchtower, Sept. 1 1952 pp 542-543)

75 ANOS? 1914 + 75 = 1989.

"J. A. Bengel states in his New Testament Word Studies: "The Hebrews . . . reckon seventy-five years as one generation, and the words, shall not pass away, intimate that the greater part of that generation [of Jesus' day] indeed, but not the whole of it, should have passed away before all should be fulfilled."" (Watchtower April 8, 1988 p 14. [Não foi por acaso que esse livro não havia sido citado pela Sociedade Torre de Vigia antes, e não o seria depois que 1989 tivesse passado!])
"It is not reasonable to expect that present favorable conditions for preaching the good news will continue indefinitely. Besides, did not Jesus say that this generation will not pass away until all things are fulfilled? A generation, according to Psalm 90:10, is from seventy to eighty years. The generation that witnessed the end of the Gentile Times in 1914 does not have many more years left." (Watchtower Dec 1, 1968, p 715)
"From a purely human viewpoint, it could appear that these developments could hardly take place before the generation of 1914 disappears from the scene. But fulfillment of all the foretold events affecting the generation of 1914 does not depend on comparatively slow human action. Jehovah's prophetic word through Christ Jesus is: "This generation [of 1914] will by no means pass away until all things occur." (Luke 21:32) And Jehovah, who is the source of inspired and unfailing prophecy, will bring about the fulfillment of his Son's words in a relatively short time." (Watchtower, May 15, 1984 p 6, {"of 1914" entre colchetes na edição brasileira publicada posteriormente (em poruguês)})

O resto da história a maioria já conhece. Eu peço, humildemente, que alguém me explique tamanhas contradições, pois também sou Cristão comoo muitos aqui e considero a Palavra de Deus como ferramenta sagrada. Em especial chamo o Vitor, o Ademar, o Joel e quem tem estado mais envolvido com as Testemunhas de Jeová ou seus ensinos publicados. Lembro a todos que não sou apóstata, sou pesquisador. Creio que parte considerável dos ensinos da Associação está certa, mas tenho dificuldade em assimilar determinadas matérias. Obrigado pela atenção em responder-me e espero ter contribuído de alguma forma.
Boa Tarde!

Realmente ninguém quer responder minha postagem? Seria uma ótima oportunidade de dar testemunho!

Porque está repetindo esse texto em vários tópicos?

Com o tempo, os tópicos vão se dissolvendo e as pessoas acessam aleatoriamente, buscando por informações específicas. Muitas vezes, os usuários têm dificuldades em encontrar os links e acabam desistindo. Resolvi facilitar a pesquisa e disponibilizar para fácil consulta as principais presepadas da Torre. É uma preocupação que tenho com usuários menos experientes.

Os tópicos não foram escolhidos a esmo. Cada um trata de uma profecia e teve muita visibilidade. Alguns desses tópicos não eram acessados há anos (2 ou 3). Temos que indicar aos novatos aonde encontrar as informações de forma rápida. Não acredito que todos os usuários vão obrigatoriamente insistir até o fim em achar as informações relevantes. Estou tentando facilitar esse processo.

[Mr. Burns]

Tópico sensacional!!! parabéns a todos pelos comentários!!!

[Lehh]

Essa profecia é a maior patifaria de todos os tempos.

[TJCalado]

Esse assunto praticamente morreu no meio TJ. O que era constantemente mencionado em livros, revistas e reuniões, hoje é totalmente ignorado pelas TJs. As TJs mais recentes nem ouvem falar sobre isso, e os mais antigos parecem totalmente amnésicos a respeito de 1914 e a geração que não passaria.

Sera que dar pra baixar essa revista no jw??? Kkkk
