Could someone please explain the new "light"on the"generation" . (page 3)

This was posted by Bennyk in the bible research section. If accurate it means that the "new light" is just recycled light from the Rutherford era. They have come full circle again.

Rutherford altered this teaching in 1927 (Remember! "New Creation" = "Anointed"):

W 15. Feb. 1927, p. 62
Question: In Matthew 24:34 Jesus said: "Verily I
say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled." What did he mean by "this
generation" ?
Answer: It could hardly be said that he meant any
human being living on the earth at that time. He was
giving testimony concerning things that were to transspire
at the end of the world. That was a long way off.
No generation of the human race has ever existed as
long as a thousand years. It follows then that Jesus
must have meant something else. What could he have
meant ? At the Jordan Jehovah started a new generation,
a new creation, of which Christ Jesus is the Head.
Jesus selected twelve disciples, who were with him for
three and one-half years. Eleven of these we have
every reason to believe constitute a part of that new creation.
In 1 Peter 2:9 the apostle, speaking to the church
of course, referred to those who are faithful. The irresistible
conclusion therefore is that Jesus referred to
the new creation when he said: "This generation shall
not pass until all these things be fulfilled." This then
would be a strong indication that some members of the
new creation will be on the earth at the time of Armageddon.

After Rutherford's death, the teaching was again altered, "generation" no longer synonymous with "anointed" ("new creation"):
