Have you noticed that some newer teachings that were at one time fixed in stone have been abolished and now appear as new light.
1. Generation from 1914 to over-lapping generations
2. Annointed stopped in 1935, but 70 years later it is now acceptable
If you were to suggest either one of these before it was made offical, I'm sure you could have been df'd for saying it.
Any other newer teachings similar to the above that you may have noticed over the years?
"1. Generation from 1914 to over-lapping generations"
1952, Human generation of people that saw with understanding the events of 1914. (15yo to start with then 10yo and lastly babies born that year)
Babies born that year? So much for "with understanding of the events of 1914".
1995, A modern day equivalent of un-repentant Israel.
2007, Same as 1929. Some of the remnant will still be here....
2010, A baby born in 1914, becomes annointed, lives to be 100 years old and before he dies a baby is born, becomes annointed, lives to be 100 years old.
So there you go. The WTS has it all sewed up with no need to change anymore dates until at least 2114.
BTW they had to "re-open heavens doors" to make this work.
Peace
Didn't Russell say that new light never extinguishes old light? Oops, guess Russell was wrong.

No Mr.Freeze...that's old light... evidently there were many over zealous friends who gave added meaning or read too much into Russell's words which is a fine example of why we shouldn't speculate or rush ahead of what is written in the Watchtower.
