    HOSER - What I heard at our DC which was a bit of a tweak on the overlapping generation thing was that those who witnessed 1914 were anointed at the time. Not just born, but baptized, anointed.

    Another new thing was that the millennial reign began in 1914 and how happy we are that there are only 900 years to go! Woo Hoo!!!!

    When I mentioned Generations/Overlapping.......he had NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT

    How the hell does an elder not know about this?

    During the study of that article at my old hall, a sister commented on it "It's a good thing they changed it because based on the previous definition it didn't make any sense. It's amazing how the GB gives us the food at the proper time." I think she was the only one who noticed the change in teaching. Even the conductor didn't make mention of it as a change in teaching.

    Is this true? Are they now claiming that we are living in the millennial reign that was supposed to start after Armageddon?

    Resurrection has to happen first according to their mythology.

    The only thing worse than ignorance if the refusal to know.

    @hoser- I did not attend the DC. I was repeating information I read here about the annointed and the overlapping generation. Someone posted a link to the talk and I listened to it. There were no scriptures supplied to prove the two groups they mentioned in Revelation Chapter 6 picture the overlapping annointed generation. Witnesses are just supposed to accept it on the GB's word.

    Any idea which talk that was? I will try to be in attendance/awake for that.
