Our organization is translating in over 700 languages, and in 239 countries thruout the earth doing an important Bible educating work. Sure they may have had some expectations that were not in line with Gods purposes at the time. But did not the apostles also have certain expectations they needed to be refined on? Read Acts 1 for example.
Im not saying people are perfect. We sometimes look and expect things from a human stanpoint. But we all do well to remember the words at isaiah 55 that states Gods thoughts are higher than ours.
From personal experience, ive attended meetings thruout the country in various parts of it in a one week period just to see if the same thing was taught and it was. I also know of four churches (same denomination) within view of my yard and they disagree about lots of stuff. Not in harmony with 1 Corinthians 14:33. Have you investigated it that closely or are you just parroting what you read on the internet and what your clergy tells you? Either way, suit yourself. We examine our metal detectors very closely before we purchase, so why not examine our religion as closely? If it does not stand up to what the Bible says perhaps we need to conform closely to the Bible.

You can also try the NIV maybe this will help you.You spout all kinds of scriptures, but you have no idea what you are saying
There you go again about the kingdom,is that all you know of gods word?TELL me this what did JESUS tell his disciples to do on this earth?HAVE already told you when the kingdom is coming,and what has to happen for this to come about. You have a short memory, if I were you I would get out of Dodge forget about your organization and find you a real "BIBLE believing church that will teach you about GODS real word" you are living in a fantasy world.
