Carder PriceHostSharonGuestand sharon and i shared with you earlier how 1975 was a very well understood end of the world date and the scripture that was read to us over and over again ad nauseum was before this generation passes away all these things will take place and a generation was understood to be the people alive in 1914. they developed this doctrine that is called the overlapping generations so it's not the people who are alive in 1914 but if they had children and grandchildren that their lives overlapped with grandpa who was born in 1914 or before that that generation so basically they kicked the kin about 60 70 years down the road and when they changed that teaching sharon and i privately within our own household expressed some doubts that that didn't really make sense it didn't sound like a sound argument yeah
No, I think they've learned that lesson.
The mantra is soon, and they can say soon until the cow comes home.
So yeah, they definitely are repeating the word end of the world soon, final days, final hours of the last day.
So they're emphasizing the urgency, but without committing to a date.
