I actually called our Bethel NY Branch and talked to a brother on the Writing Committee, at Writing Correspondence. He said there are actaully 3 GROUPS of anointed ones. 2 groups make up this "this generation". Its the 1914 older anointed ones, and the contempories that OVERLAP the 1914 anointed older group. The 3rd anointed group, are TRUELY ANOINTED ONES, but, they are NOT included in "this generation'' group.
He said, what determines an anoited one being of the OLDER 1914 ANOINTED GROUP, is they were ANOINTED AT THE MOMENT OF "THEIR BAPTISM", NO LATER THAN OCT 1,1914. The brother said, a perfect example would be Brother Fred Franz of the Governing Body,Bro Franz was born in 1893 and he was baptized in 1913, one year before 1914.
He said if a brother was born, in say, 1890,but later got baptized in 1915,1916,or 1917, that ANOINTED brother would be the 2nd contempory anointed group.
He also said, Bro John Barr, was OF "this generation", BUT, he was of the 2nd anointed contempory overlap group. Because he was BORN IN 1913, but later got BAPTIZED in 1934.
There is STILL ONE OVERLAP! he said. Now the 3rd anointed group is NOT PART of the "THIS GENERATION" anointed ones.
He said, " ALL the 1914 Anointed Older Group have died of 10 to 20 years ago. So those who are left are the 3rd group to be anointed or sealed.
And that this Great Tribulation is about to get started any day soon. We talked for about 10 minutes. I tell ya, those brothers are DEEEEEEP!!!!!, on the Writing Committee!
