    While talking to my mom last night about the generation change, I mentioned that I wished someone would compile a chart about the changes. Thank you so much. I can now show her. She's never going back to the org but she's still defensive, saying that there's a lot of good in it. My hope is that someday she will see it for what it really is and share her experiences with others.

    Ever hear of the "overcomers" a word connected with Russell's Bible Student movement? In Russell's religion it was another name or term for the Anointed, Bride of Christ, Elect, Elijah class, Sons of God, Little Flock, etc.

    Now according to the latest WT, "this generation" meant "...the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." WT Apr. 15, 2010

    I don't know if others have said this, but, for what it's worth, now we have a name for the generation of the anointed who were alive in 1914 and whose lives touched the generation of lives of anointed who would see the start of the tribulation: The "overlappers." Forgive me for I just couldn't resist!

    LOL I love that.

    And I think the OVERCOMERS are us who have at last escaped from the brainwashing.

    Even if you just take the GB as a representative of the Demographic being described in the April 15 2010 watchtower. Oldest J Barr born 1913. Youngest Geoffrey Jackson born 1955. If geoff lives till the age of 85 that another 30 years. Good god if he lives to 100 that buys 45 years.

    Imgine wasting another 45 years -urrrrrragh.

    So now we have a new class, the Overlapper Class! Looks to me like they were overlapping up the swill served at the spiritual feast.
