I don't have any current belief about "the generation that was alive in 1914" and the “great tribulation"

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo of course not. It sounds unconvincing when you say it's entirely possible you could reject JW teaching about "the generation that was alive in 1914" so I am scrutinizing your claim. You are aware of the teaching and you've said you might reject it; I am curious about how long it might take.
why are you timing me?
For instance, is it possible that JW teaching on the matter would have changed yet again before you'd had enough time to deliberate on whether to accept or reject the previous teaching? And would the process start again with the new teaching?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIn eight years I cannot remember you ever saying that you rejected a JW teaching, or even saying that you were deliberating over whether or not to reject a JW teaching, or that it was "entirely possible" that you might reject a JW teaching. Never once in all that time. This is the first time the notion of you rejecting a JW teaching has ever arisen. This issue of the link between "the generation that was alive in 1914" and the “great tribulation” is the first time you've talked of the possibility of rejecting the JW teaching.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes, and you've never said such a thing before - in 8 years. You said "I have as yet not rejected outright any of the teachings of Jehovahs Witnesses...", so I find it interesting that this "1914" issue is possibly the first time it might happen.
You asked if it was possible, you received an answer that it was possible.
