‘Whenever it is that they are saying: ‘Peace and security!’ then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them . . . and they will by no means escape.”—1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3; Luke 21:34, 35.
...An evidence of this is the proclamation by the United Nations of 1986 as the ‘international year of peace and security.’ 1

So to summarise, Paul says when “they” are saying “peace” destruction will be “instantly” upon them.
The U.N. proclaimed the year of peace in 1986.
There hasn’t been a world war since 1945
The year is now 2020, 34 years since the U.N. proclamation.
How on earth can “instantly” possibly take over 34 years, we may as well start saying grass grows instantly, or people grow instantly.
Surely to anyone who values the meaning of words this is clearly just another failed prophecy by Jehovah’s Witnesses.
