Christ's Presence, What Does It Mean to You? (jw.org)

Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

This Watchtower study article, published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society on jw.org, reviews the history of how Jehovah's Witnesses have understood this generation at Matthew 24:34, quoting the 1 November 1995 Watchtower's explanation that the term meant the contemporaneous generation of unbelievers who would see the sign of Christ's presence, before setting out the publication's own further refinement of the teaching.
