Why not just man-up and answer direct questions with direct answers?
If praying to "Jehovah" leads the WatchTower to come up with so many false doctrines and false prophesies, then clearly they are not praying to the right God.

Its good to keep away from them [the false prophets] as Christ suggested.

and yet here we are, over one hundred years later, still teaching and preaching the
good news of Gods Kingdom, as directed by the Christ, in obedience to the gospel and
what have Christendom being doing, justifying wars, committing acts of genocide,
hiding their talent in the ground, 'here you are Jesus, take what is yours',

get away from me you workers of lawlessness! by their works you will recognise those
men.

We pray "through Jesus's name", not to him. Do you know the differenace?

The Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church among others are still here too, and even longer. They are still preaching and teaching as always, so what is your claim to fame now. (Not allowing blood transfusions, perhaps.)

To be clearly honest with you, I'm tired of waisting my time on you as no matter what I say you knock it and do nothing but be hostile in your statements and very seldom read the postings I make.
You do nothing but condemn and berate and I'm tired of it.

I'd like to have RAJK make a list of his works that Jesus would approve of? I'm sure he might have a couple but I wonder what they are? Maybe he can list them for us....

You actually have works you are proud of? Would you brag to Christ about all your good works?

Doesn't matter at all and one should never brag but stay humble. But one still has to do what Jesus "commanded" a Christian to do. From what he and others here say they do or don't see the need to do, those works we are to do are in question.

You really have to be the biggest dunce around here.

I have already said [and in accordance with the teachings of Christ], that I neither ask nor tell about works. Your works that you do is between yourself and Christ. Mine as well.

The fact that you and Robbie and I gather JWs in general, go around boasting that 'you are awesome' or that 'you do good works' demonstrate your lack of understanding of Christ's teachings.

You said you'd like to have RAJK make a list of his works that Jesus would approve of. Would you consider is a breach of humility, that Jesus would not approve of? Would you do it yourself? Maybe that's why you don't ask people to do that?

What you are saying to Divegeester here perfectly expresses how many here feel about both you and Robbie.

Back the the very Original OP

Anyone born in 1914 is 98 years old now.
Anyone who fought in WWI is probably not with us anymore.

I would say the generation of 1914 has passed by

There is a flicker of hope for them yet, however. It has been reported that women live longer than men, normally. So maybe there are some women, who never fought in WWI still breathing.
