    A minor could do it, ( The law allows alcohol for religious services) but I've never heard of it.

    "Partaking" is made into a bigger deal than it is.

    There is no age attached to partaking but its mostly done so usually by adults or as young as adolescents.

    So, assuming overlapping of only two generations who knew each other while the members of the first one were already partaking, for example if you were born in 1975 and become anointed when you were 17, and you knew Freddy Franz that year in which he died, then the new doctrine could be that the faithful born after 1975 will never die :)

    God's Kingdom Rules book (2014), Page 12:

    At least some of those in the second group will live to see the beginning of the coming tribulation. The two groups form one generation because their lives as anointed Christians overlapped for a time.

    Anyone who was anointed after the death of the last of the anointed ones in the first group—that is, after those who witnessed the “beginning of pangs of distress” in 1914—would not be part of “this generation.”—Matt. 24:8.

    I have a question

    Since they had us out there telling everyone for a century that we were in the Last Days.....and we clearly weren't ..(it's 2015).....what has the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society done to correct that message to every single, solitary soul that heard that misinformation and made decisions based on this info from 'God's servant?'

    Oh.....nothing?

    Cult.

    I ate lunch with Max Larson at Bethel. I guess I'm an overlapper.

    I wouldn't waste one brain cell on this nonsense, except to help someone see the nonsense of it all. BTW, there is a scripture that destroys the "overlapper" nonsense, and it's so simple!

    Betcha don't know what it is.......

    They are clearly running out of ideas and so they are clinging the the generation thing and stretching it out to the breaking point. It sucks when your caught in a delusion and searching for new ideas to keep it alive for the rest of the corporation lackeys.

    If there is any reference to the corruption and deceit the WTS uses to exploit the bible for its own appealing means , this over lapping doctrines is a prime candidate.

    The organization didn't go beyond what is written, it actually added to what is written to serve there own means and purpose.
