So when Barr (Generation - part A) dies, the GB, will be able to use him as the same type of illustration? Extending to any partakers at that time (of any age) into "Generation - part B)? You know, there are 20 year olds who do partake, not many, and with suspiciion, however are in fact counted?

Was Barr anointed in 1914? How old is he anyway?

Since 5/2/2007Genesis 47:27-28 And so Israel settled down in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property and flourished. They became a large company of people. Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years. In all, he lived 147 years. MSG
Genesis 50:22 -23 Joseph continued to live in Egypt with his father's family. Joseph lived 110 years. He lived to see Ephraim's sons into the third generation. The sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were also recognized as Joseph's. MSG
Wonder what they plan on making of Jack Barr's longevity?
Tee hee hee.

Barr was born in 1913,,so obviously was not at an age of understanding the "world" events. So that might disqualify him as the "Generation - part A" group.
So is the death of Frederick Franz (1992) the 'pivotal point' of between "Generation - part A" and Generation - part B?"
The members of the organization, WTS, GB, may find such questions exaspirating but 'they' started this mess!

Maybe they can explain Barr in Generation 7.0
Generation 6.0 (2010) defines the "First group" as those "....anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914"

mind blown
I just found this.....it explains the term...."Generation".... has been used 37 times in the NT, as well as explains various ways it can be interpreted....I thought it was interesting....
The GB has their own FICKLE interpretations.....they scare me too. For them to lead millions of people on their guesses....using terms like " Let's Say" or " he must have ment........scary indeed.....

I am lost. My DC is in a few weeks. Was the speakers saying "this 2nd generation" is not of the anointed and will not serve in heaven?

Based on other postings about the DC talk on the generation, those of the 2nd grouping of the generation are anointed.
