I made this chart three years ago, and in light of the 2014 Watchtower study I decided it was time for further refinement.
This chart probably won't fit on a regular page.

Historical Chart of "This Generation" Teaching Adjustments

The chart will have a 2014 adjustment too. In the Jan or Feb WT I think there is another generation change, they revert to the 1927 teaching for the first generation as those anointed during 1914 whose lives overlap with anointed today, and that THAT generation, the 2nd generation, the current governing body, are getting older in years.
So they combine the 2013 with the 1927 teaching. Once those are almost gone, they will then continue down the old path. In 40 years the new light will go to saying the first generation was like the 1968 teaching, atleast 15 years old and not anointed. Then in 50 years the 1st generation are those born, overlapping the 2nd generation, etc.

EndOfMysteries,
Thanks for the info. I have to wonder when does this all end? The generation has gone on for so long now it's not even funny.

Good to see it all in detail!
not to be forgotten that at least until the late 50s
WT taught that in 1914 even
The Great Tribulation and this (Last) Generation started together.
then faded in 1918, to restart again later.
The WT generation/tribulation teaching is like that chewing gum, once you chewed on it, could be held between two fingers, and then drawn out to arm lengths.
It is a very tenuous, distasteful, unsanitary proposition, reserved for the child-minded.
