In 1995 the Jehovah's Witness publications changed the 'Awake' text of the prophesy to omit one of their phophetic errors.
"Why 'Awake' is Published"
Version from before Nov 8th 1995:
"Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away."
Version after Nov. 8 1995 (the reference to '1914 generation' has been deleted):
"Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things."
Why not just admit it was a false phophesy instead of re-writting the words?

Mark 13:22-23 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Christ warned us about false prophets like them, so beware.

It's your organisation's prophesy - perhaps you should explain it.
edit: You consider the text in Awake! magazine to be "scripture"?

You are claiming Jesus promised "a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away"?
