How in the name of all that's God's holey underwear are they going to scripturally make this work?
Expect a WT article in the next 6 months explaining it. I can see the glazed eyes and canned answers now...
Well actually, no I can't, because I won't fucking be there!!! HAHAHA SUCKERS...
I love the way Jehovah procrastinates.
our annointed friend who recently died she was 81(or 86) think 81 though...
Bro. Barr repeated twice, "Jesus Christ meant lives of the anointed who were on hand in 1914 would overlap with those whose lives of the anointed see the start of the Great Tribulation."
Assuming this is correct, I agree with sir82 that this looks more like two generations . Any idea what sort of scriptural basis they have for this two generation idea?
If you think about it, it's kind of genius - JWs will lap this up like a hungry kitten being served a plate of warm milk. They'll do the same sort of calculations & inferences I just made above and run with it. It will get people all psyched up and convinced that the GT really is "imminent".
Yes, the dubs will take it hook, line and sinker. I don't how genius it is though. It's just another delay, they didn't solve anything. I guess the genius is that they've put it out far enough that they won't have to worry about it in their lifetime. Let some poor annointed sucker in 2080 worry about it.
And all of that without pointing to a specific date - there's nothing there that can embarrass them later.
No, no specific date...but it does tie one generation back to the other which has time limits. If this comes out in print, it will come back to haunt them in a couple of decades. When the other annointed start dying off, someone's going to point out that they were wrong yet again.
I can't see why they just can't bite the bullet now, divorce themselves from all things 1914 and 'generation', take their losses and re-market and rebuild after the fallout is over. All they ever do is delay it. Maybe they really do believe the shit they're shoveling.

They don't care they won't be around

The cynical part of me says, "Hey, the guys who dreamed this up will be dead & gone before that becomes an issue. They're just thinking that the next GB will have to figure that out - just like the current GB had to figure out how to wiggle out of Fred Franz's original 'generation of 1914' teaching." Meanwhile, they get to lead the rock star lifestyle they've become acustomd to.
Scriptural basis, you say?

yeah, that never stopped them in the past.
Branches have said that not all are singing.
