I don't have any current belief about "the generation that was alive in 1914" and the “great tribulation"?
The scripture that formed the basis of the understanding has been cited,
Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. Matthew 24:34

If you " don't have any current belief" about it, does that mean you do not share the current belief of the JW organisation's leadership about "the generation that was alive in 1914" and the “great tribulation"?

No it means I don't have any current belief about it. I cannot be more clear than that. Its no longer a teaching of Jehovahs witnesses. I do have a belief about Matthew 24:34 though.

Are you aware of the current belief of the JW organisation's leadership regarding this matter?

I am aware of what has been printed in the publications of the Watchtower and Bible tract society, after all its online and freely available to any member of the public, free of charge.
It appears to me that you have no idea how the understanding of 'the generation' mentioned in Matthew chapter 24 has changed over the years.

It's easily looked up - the organisation has made these corrections to its erroneous predictions in public. Are you aware of the current belief of
Are you in agreement with what the JW organisation's leadership has changed its understanding to regarding "the generation that was alive in 1914" and its connection to the “great tribulation”?

And yet you say: "I don't have any current belief about it". Do you not believe what the publications of the Watchtower and Bible tract society say about it?

I have already answered this and will not do so again. Please try to refrain from asking the same rehashed questions again and again, its rather tedious. I will repeat it for the last time, yes i am aware of the current teaching.

I have not formed a firm consensus on the matter in my own mind yet.

I have been re-asking the question because you have been dodging it, assiduously, even though it is on-topic.

I have told you twice that I am aware of the current teaching, this makes the third time. One cannot claim to have evaded anything by answering the same questions three times.

Isn't a "consensus" formed by a group? Hasn't the JW organisation's leadership stated its consensus regarding "the generation that was alive in 1914" in its publications? What is stopping you from endorsing it?

If you are aware of the current teaching, how can you not have any current belief about it?
