If you believe that the kingdom has not come yet, tell me what you believe Matt 16:28 means when it says,"There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death,till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" If the kingdom hasn't come yet, there should be some pretty old guys standing around don't you think?

Check out the new "Light" from the Society on the Generation!
The generation of 1914 that would not pass away has changed to a contemporary
generation.
1. All the literature before 1995 spoke of the generation that was born or 10-15 years old during 1914.
2. Wt,11/1/95,pg14,... Jesus was not departing from his established use of the term �this
generation� which
he consistently applied to the contemporary masses.....
3. Wt.11/1/95,pg17,Rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term �generation� as used by Jesus
refers to a contemporary people of a certain
historical period.....
4. Wt,11/1/95,pg19,Therefore, in the fulfillment of Jesus� prophecy today, �this generation� apparently refers
to the peoples of the earth who see the sign of Christ�s presence but fail to mend their ways.
