Ha..... funny!

Sexist again - .....keep sitting on your brain and hands.... 

So - sitting on his brain waiting for something other than the truth - should take note? heh?

Who are the only ones teaching about Jehovah and Jesus!   Where do all these nations go where they learn no war anymore?  ... to the Christina churches who all justify guns and war?  So where do they go for the source of information to learn NO WAR?  Where do they meet and form congregations - as is clearly instructed by the bible?
You KEEP YOURSELF DELIBERATELY OBTUSE!   yea - so keep sitting patiently on your brain or hands  - waiting for the truth! 

So - sitting on his brain waiting for something other than the truth - should take note? heh?

37  For just as the days of Noah were,q so the PRESENCE of the Son of man will be.r 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,s 39  and they took NO NOTE until the Flood came and swept them all away,t so the PRESENCE of the Son of man will be.

revelation 17:  “The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast. 13  These have one thought, so they give their power and authority to the wild beast."
When does the "one hour" start?  When the "image of the beast receives authority with the ten kings who have not ruled before. This wild beast is the scarlet colored wild beast which is the "image of the beast (the UN). Revelation 17 talks about the scarlet beast which destroys religion - UN. 
"  And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire. 17  For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought,
 The wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth—those whose names have not been written in the scroll of life from the founding of the world—will be amazed when they see how the wild beast was, but is not, and yet will be present.
 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also an eighth king, but it springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction."
(This is why I watch the goings-on of the UN because other kingdoms will willingly hand over authority to it so that it rules for one hour ....) It seems the new kings will either be the corporations or the oligarchs behind the corporations because they signed a deal with the UN 2 and half years ago - giving it lots of money and teeth.  There are so many silent deals going on behind the scenes, this is just another one:

revelation 3: And it was permitted to give breath* to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who refuse to worship the image of the wild beast.
We are almost there - as UN failed to get full rulership last month.... But secret deals are going on behind the scenes which will be voted upon soon.  When this happens full power will kick in after 8 months...! 
This is a good sign to watch where we are in the stream of time!

When there has been controversy on this forum about 1914, I always said that I am open to this generation being 120 years - the probability is high.   BUT...... we must watch for ALL the signs......
Last month the WHO of UN was thwarted in taking over the rule of the world regarding health, environment and food security.  They will try again next month and in august.  
What does bible prophecy indicate - that "Image of the  beast will only rule for ONE hour..."....  which is a short period.  It could be a few years - to another ten years which is doubtful regarding their intentions with the 4th industrial revolution and UN Agenda 2030... ......... Regarding the pace of developments in the secular world - we will soon be faced with a totalitarian government which will demand worship of the image of beast and absolute obedience to its directives .... or face the consequences.
Their hearts are already set at the destruction of religion - so Jehovah will let it go into fruition when the time is right. After this we will watch the dismantling of society as we knew it.  This can also happen relatively quickly - especially under extreme conditions of hunger, suffering and totalitarianism.  
Jehovah will have to step in to save some flesh....   : “There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now . . . In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved.” (Matthew 24:21, 22) But God promises us that many humans will survive: “The world is passing away . . . , but the one who does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.
What I am doing now is some cautioning - not to settle on a definite date.  Jehovah says he is going to cut those days (like Noah) short in order to save some.   So in my estimation, the conditions in the world will be worse than before the flood.... and Jehovah will have to step in to save the great crowd... while quite a large number of them are still alive. 

After the flood they did not immediately come down in age. Noah still lived (if I remember correctly) 350 years after the flood. Gradually the life spans became less.  Well, a long time ago my brother did a paper (not published - he does this for fun), which indicated the build-up of bad UV light after the flood.  When it reached a certain peak it would start to influence peoples span of life.
So life went down and settled at 70 to 80 years in the time of David.

All the chosen ones know they must die in order to join Jesus in his kingdom - now in the end of the global system of things.
The NW study bible shows that Titus effected the conquest in only 4 months and 25 days in 70 CE. Due to the actions of the extremists within the city.  The tribulation was intense but remarkably short.  More than 1 million killed and almost the same number taken as slaves.
In 66 CE when Vespasian came the time was cut short so that the anointed Christians could flee the city.  They were not in the city when the Romans came back.
Matt 24: 22  What will happen on a global scale during the coming great tribulation? The UN will turn against religion at the beginning of the great tribulation.  But the UN attack on religion will be "cut short" so that the true religion will not be destroyed with the false. True religion will survive.
The political ten horns will not be allowed to annihilate God's people. 

Yes - they should be - that is why we must watch ourselves!  Jehovah is the one that all must fear,

Bullseye! 😀 

Depending of the context of the scripture, one would need 'spritual discernment' in order to discern what the scripture is talking about. 
Nations can refer to countries, peoples, or even nationalities.  The pride of nationality for instance.
The nations of many peoples is the correct context listed below.
And to it all the nations will stream.c 3  And many peoples will go and say:“ Come,
 

Do you actually know the difference between an apostate and a heretic?
There is a very real difference and I’m afraid the term apostate is bandied about much too often, here and elsewhere.

Your answer lies in Isaiah 2: 2-4.  A nation who worships Jehovah in the time of the end.   They pray to JEHOVAH and Jesus) form a people and all of them love each other and learn war no more.   
 
Please tell me where I can find this world-wide nation.... coming from many peoples:
2  In the final part of the days,*The mountain of the house of JehovahWill become firmly established above the top of the mountains,bAnd it will be raised up above the hills,And to it all the nations will stream.c 3  And many peoples will go and say:“ Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob.dHe will instruct us about his ways,And we will walk in his paths.”eFor law* will go out of Zion,And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem.f 4  He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight* respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowsharesAnd their spears into pruning shears.gNation will not lift up sword against nation,Nor will they learn war anymore.h

Understanding the Sign of the Son of Man...
 
Brother Russell also mentions that this time of trouble could last a certain amount of time as in the time of Noah. Then he mentions, "Then, later on, will come the Epiphania; that is to say, the revelation, or manifestation, of the present One.
This will not be a manifestation in the flesh, but in a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented as fire, as when we read, "He shall be revealed in flaming fire, taking vengeance." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10.
Christ Jesus referred to this sign when he said: “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matt. 24:30) Thus the 'age of violence' was ushered in as the whole world experiences the Last Days. This age or time period will indeed come to an end (Matthew 24:14) as this prophecy is being fulfilled for ALL to SEE.            

revelation 17:  “The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast. 13  These have one thought, so they give their power and authority to the wild beast."
When does the "one hour" start?  When the "image of the beast receives authority with the ten kings who have not ruled before. This wild beast is the scarlet colored wild beast which is the "image of the beast (the UN). Revelation 17 talks about the scarlet beast which destroys religion - UN.

 The wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into destruction.

Thank you for your perspective...... I enjoyed reading it.
This however does not in my mind justify jumping to a 2034 conclusion for Armageddon and the beginning of the new millenium. 
However, the idea is not far fetched.... as I said before ..... because the generation in Noah's time before the flood  was 120 years. 

Agreed. We must be careful that we do not fall into the trap of Numerology. 

Agreed. We must be careful that we do not fall into the trap of Numerology. 

This is a basic teaching my dear... we all understand this.... It is just hard to apply it in the way you do by using the scriptures you apply this principle to.  One cannot take a random concept and apply it.

Here’s a fine gem from this 3-day-old report about the ECHR decision—declaring the 2017 ban on God’s people in Russia illegal, and its underlying premise of “extremism” absurd  (The decision was not unanimous. One judge voted against. Which one? Of course—the Russian one.):
“Even accepting that the texts [used to prove that they were “extremists”] promoted the idea that the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses was superior to others or that it was better to be a Jehovah’s Witness than a member of another Christian denomination, it is significant that the texts did not insult, hold up to ridicule or slander non-Witnesses; nor did they use abusive terms in respect of them or of matters regarded as sacred by them.”

A fine example of imitation. Sigh…for me as well. I have had to add a few to the block list. I’m too easily drawn in when certain ones say outrageous, misrepresented, and sometimes just plain stupid, things. It’s my bad. I should have better self-control.

Most of us are morally clean - it just takes ONE person who oversteps the principles of Jehovah to put a bad spot on an entire congregation.  BUT Jehovah forgave Manasseh who burnt his children in fire; he also forgave David who murdered someone and committed adultery.  We learn from this: humans who serve Jehovah are imperfect and prone to lose faith and do wrong things. 
Are there individual hypocrites who pretend to be moral when they are not?  I am sure there are. But they are usually exposed.  Jehovah himself says : that which is hidden will be exposed (paraphrased). So I trust that Jehovah does expose things........ but then people with bad motives will use this s fuel to hurt their brothers. But they will also be judged.  Who judges his brother harshly will face Jehovah's judgement.  So repent.
Conclusion:  it is morally wrong from YOU to expect JWs to NEVER make any mistakes or have blotches.  Unfortunately, your expectations are so high, I wonder if any person  could find approval in front of Jehovah by your standard.  Like David I say:  " Thank goodness Jehovah is the judge and not the super fine apostles; or those who stand in judgement of their fellow worshipers.
