Ah yes, context. So, jw's thought that the "context" was them. Between 1878 and 1925 the watchtower society predicted the second coming (already an excuse for the failure of the first) five times. 50 years of failed predictions. They let that cool for 50 years after that but couldn't help themselves. Did it again in 1975. It was only in 1995 that they let go of the idea that the second coming would have to happen during the life of the generation from 1914, and then in 2010 they changed their official doctrine on the subject.
It's a failed prediction. Always was. Always is. Intuitively, we think this would be a problem for religions based on predicitions... but, obviously, it's not.
