Hmmmm

Spread the word

Mark the day with thousands who continued to suffer from the doctrines of Jehovah's witnesses.
No blood transfusion doctrine,
No college attendance,
Shunning by your family if you disagree with watchtower teaching; baptizing pre-teens and teenagers and then shunning those when they grow up to disagree with WT teachings.
Hiding and protecting pedophiles and sex offenders within its fold. See Australian government report here (https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/2016-11/report-into-jehovah%E2%80%99s-witness-organisations-releas)

These and many other cultist behavior of Jehovah's witnesses have ruined so many lives and continued to.
So July 26 of each year is dedicated to have a solidarity with the victims.
Thousands are marking the day.

this isn't matthew, this is revelation. the generetion word doesn't need to be added in this.

The man Jesus was talking to a group of people, saying they will not have passed away before all those events take place, now you are quoting a book- revelation that was written 50 years later. How preposterous.
I guess that's why most thinking people are fleeing religion. Most of it dont make sense, it creates panic, fear and frustration that leads to irrational self defeating behaviors.

Go read the Jehovah's witnesses explanation of what that generation is and you will laugh as hard as you can. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/290060001/simplified-suggestion-generation-1914

Jhaytee4all:
it's a divine truth and revelation given to saint john(one of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ) foretelling and a foreshadow of future events. not 'dem say'

Revelations20:1-14
The Thousand Years

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Judgment at the Great White Throne

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell [1] delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Really! Where in all these did you see the matter of "This generation..."

paulGrundy:
Wars, rumours of wars, earthquakes, famine, pestilence.

Jesus said "This Generation...", he was talking to people standing right in front of him. I dont think his audience needed a sign to understand who he was talking to.
And indeed, those people suffered in the hand of the Romans right before that generation died off.
People will extend this Jesus words into eternity as long as there are people to bamboozled

paulGrundy:
Truth will always stand the test of time. No matter what impostors will teach. We still see the signs up till this moment.

The sign of the "generation {that} will not pass away"?

paulGrundy:
Jesus didn't give any date or time, he only gave signs. Remember he said his coming would be like a theif in the night. To catch the unprepared unawares. Folks who give dates are cults that manipulate their members.

Its been over 2 millennium now and every generations have thought theirs would be the last. People have made lots of money, many have built millions of followership by interpreting those words uttered by Jesus

kingviny:
Jesus came to the earth during the Pisces generation or age. He spoke with divine wisdom and vision because he is divinity personified. Fish is the symbol of Pisces and that answers the reason why fish played a symbolic role in the ministration of Jesus.

The statement he made simply states that before the Pisces generation is over, the global judgment happenings would have come to pass. After which, the Aquarius generation would then commence.

If you must know, the Pisces age is about to come to an end! So the Judgment is closer than we think!

Interesting!
You are even bolder than the Jehovah's witnesses. I ve never heard your explanation.
The man said "this" generation, so your "this" is Pisces and/or Aquiarius

paulGrundy:
This quote of Jesus in regards to the end times is found in Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30; and Luke 21:32. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” The things that Jesus had been speaking of—the rise of the Antichrist, the desolation of the Holy Place, and the darkening of the sun—did not happen during the lifespan of people alive in Jesus’ day. Obviously, Jesus meant something different when He spoke of “this generation.”

The key to understanding what Jesus meant by “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” is the context; that is, we must understand the verses that are surrounding Matthew 24:34, especially the verses prior to it. In Matthew 24:4–31, Jesus is clearly giving a prophecy; He is speaking of future events. Jesus had already told those living during His earthly ministry that the kingdom had been taken from them (Matthew 21:43). Therefore, it is imperative that Matthew 24–25 be seen as dealing with a future time. The generation that Jesus speaks of “not passing” until He returns is a future generation, namely, the people living when the predicted events occur. The word generation refers to the people alive in the future when the events of Matthew 24–25 take place.

So which generation?
Our generation? Those after or before us or which one?

Jhaytee4all:
he's talking about ours & his own. when he said "this generation" he meant this sinful generation. the next generation is the 'regeneration' in which there wouldn't be any sinful life. when he would have executed judgments upon all off us then shall the righteous ones reign with him in his kingdom for a thousand years which is the regeneration. hpe u get?

Do you have any bible verse to support this or just dem say?

Jhaytee4all:
of course, this sinful generation of vipersSI. Jesus brings a hope of a new regeneration of saints.

was Jesus talking about our generation or the generation at his time or some other generations

OLAADEGBU:
If God knew that apes and the likes would be used so passionately by the evolutionists to support their so called theory, why did He create them?

Isn't that god interesting to say the least?

Jehovah's witnesses have used this verse since 1900 to recruit new members. They have changed their understanding of this verse so many times that its worthless to even try to understand it through the JW lense.
Below was their explanation years back

They have discarded all that now.

DO u have an already producing tree which was started from these nursery?

Below are what we are being bombarded with each week in the Kingdom Halls:
Overlapping generation (the generation that will not pass away)
Don't go to school (University is bad for you- Instead of becoming an engineer, become a technician etc etc)
Sell your home so you can pioneer
Bethelites being laid off with no money
Fraud in Bethels
Increase in the number of the anointed, when the number should be decreasing.
Blood fraction is now a conscience matter, decades after thousands are dead from the dont take blood law
Disfellowshipping and shunning of those who disagree

The lists go on and on. Many have doubts but fear the psychological torture that result from being disfellowshipped.
You are not alone. Come out from the closet and lets find many others like us/you, you will find thousands who are like you.
Your life can be more meaningful if you dont live in daily fears of being found out that you have doubts.
