I have prayed for years that the Lord would lead my sister and subsequently the rest of my family out.
When I left in 1988, the 1914 doctrine was still "the generation that saw 1914 would by no means pass away before Armaggedon."  I would think that they have made modifications to that teaching since then.  The generation that saw 1914 is quickly dying off.  Do you have information regarding the new teaching??
thanks

Here are some quotes you may remember:

Then, in 2008 the Watchtower said:

The Watchtower - February 15, 2008 - page 24 paragraph 15 states:

15Today, people who don't have the spiritual understanding think that there is nothing of "stunningly observable" as to the signs of Jesus' presence. They reason that all continues as before. (2 Peter 3:4) On the other hand, the faithful brothers of Christ, the present class of John, recognize this sign as if it was a lightning and understand its real meaning. As a group, those anointed comprise the present "generation" of contemporaries who won't pass away "until all the things come to pass".* This indicates that some of anointed brothers of Christ will still be alive on earth when the foretold great tribulation begins.
