Oh, I get it! They are just passing the baton like in a race. Its all one team of anointed generationites.
Makes sense to me.

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."
I am on lunch break, but couldn't resist commenting on what this means.... *clearing throat*
THE GOVERNING BODY AND ALL PRESIDENTS OF THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY WHO IN ANY WAY PROMOTED THE BELIEF THAT THOSE WHO SAW 1914 WOULD LIVE TO SEE THE GREAT TRIBULATION HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES AS FALSE PROPHETS!!!!!!!
Really, do you need to be an idiot not to see this? Here's your sign.......
And they use Barr, the most loved of the GB to present this message. This means that, despite his nice persona, that he is as much of a deluded liar as the rest.
Well, thats all. I guess the 20th century really didn't count at all for Jehovah's Witnesses. Mea culpa! MULLIGAN!
Back to lunch.

The next noo-lite: If you've even seen a photo of one of the anointed alive in 1914, you are a member of the "generation".

No one killed during recent tsunami!?!!!!! Shows who they value.
There was a time that the WTS did teach there were 2 anointed classes and I don't mean the lesser great crowd.
Elijah and Elisha
*** w67 10/1 p. 595 pars. 14-15 Following Faithful Shepherds with Life in View ***
In 1942 the change came. In the throes of World War II, with the change in administrations of the second and third presidents of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, the Elijah work passed away, having realized its purpose to Jehovah’s praise. It had been actively directed toward beginning the work of "dividing the waters" of the symbolic Jordan River, that is, dividing the symbolic waters of the peoples, gathering the "other sheep" or "great crowd" to the right hand of the reigning King Jesus Christ. (2 Ki. 2:8; Matt. 25:31-46) As the Elisha class vigorously took up the "mantle of Elijah" or the divine commission Elijah had so actively fulfilled, the time for unparalleled expansion had begun. The years since 1942 have told their tale regarding the exploits of the anointed Elisha class, accompanied by an ever-increasing number of the "great crowd."—Rev. 7:9-17.
To parallel the many miracles performed by the original Elisha, sixteen as compared with Elijah’s eight, the modern Elisha class at once began arrangements for producing better preachers of the Kingdom good news in furtherance of the prophecy of Matthew 24:14. On February 1, 1943, the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead was set up for training missionaries and special representatives of the Watch Tower Society to serve in all parts of the earth. That same year, 1943, a new training program, the Theocratic Ministry School, began in the congregations of Jehovah’s witnesses. At first only male students were enrolled in these schools, but in 1958 provision was made for the women of the congregations to enroll and participate. -

Blondie, you know I break out in simultaneous convulsions of tourettes and hives when I read the Elijah/Elisha teaching.....
Maybe they should just sell shoes. It's safer then prophesying.
