There is no more a man alive born before 1900. There are six or seven women alive that were born 1898-1900. My grandfather was that generation, he fought in WWI on Eastern Front for Austria-Hungary. He is long dead. All my grandparents were born before WWI and they died in 1990's. Generationt that will not die certainly passed away.

Ah yes, but your question is passe. More to the point is how many of those children's lifespans OVERLAP with persons living today. HAHAHAHA.
1914 + 80 = 1994. 1994 + 80 = Do more until 2074!

I answered in a wt study several months ago re the overlapping generations, and said that "according to the new light we have, the end should be here before approx 2070"
I was shot down immediatly and after the meeting and told that I went beyond the teachings and was wrong! "I led the cong astray" I was told.
BUT the teachings now DO INDEED show that period!
Or have I got it wrong?
(of course we know it will never come...but you know what I meant when I answered)

why are there almost twice as many females [20] to males [12] in that picture? is that the ratio we see in the so-called 'anointed', partakers?
YY: -- passe' indeed, because the overlappers are the 'anointed' not the general population. ? I am asking because,
according to the 'new[est] light', the 'anointed' WILL NOT SURVIVE until ALL these things will take place, and
"ALL these things' would* include Armageddon, would it not? and
the heavely class will have given up the ghost BEFORE Armageddon, gone to heaven. and
IF the overlappers WERE the general population, or rather SURVIVORS = JWS,
were there 2 Million 81 year old JWS in 1995 ?? will there be 2 million 81 Years old JWS --THAT KNEW THEM-- alive in 2075??
after 160+ overlapping years of KINGDOM RULE? or
will the kingdom rules overlapp? are there OVERLAPPERS in that op picture?
* if we are to take the whole, or wt writer's slant seriously.

The only thing that holds any Truth to this stupid invalid doctrine put out by the WTS.
is that its going to die one day totally forgotten, for it was originally trite bullshit.
This what happens when amateur bible theologians interpret some idea on their own .
.
But wait the return of Christ is a great marketing ploy useful in selling and proliferating literature
to the public. Will add in the the end of this system of things too just to heighten the attention
........."Man we're going to sell some literature "
........."Lets tell them " Millions now living will never die " just to spice it up a little as well.
.
The WTS. is solid proof that you can make up fabricated bullshit, put into print and sell it to the
general public. It helps of course too if you do it in a free unregulated country like the US the
home of the free.

Stuckin your answer to their teaching was right but they don't want to hear it. They all want to believe it going to happen very soon. When I last was going it was pitiful to see the older ones moppeing around with sad faces hopeing they will not die but loosing confidence in that hope as reality sets in.

The answer is that none of them have died as their descendents are part of one-ongoing generation!

The answer is that none of them have died as their descendent's are part of one-ongoing generation!
The only problem with that assertion is this NOT what Jesus said.
In bible epistemology the use of (a) generation is used to describe a life time of one person.
Sure some people live pass a 100 years but using a start date of 1914 that time frame is passing very soon.
.
Will the year 1914 used by the WTS. as a core doctrine of their organization fail as toward its meaneing
........ yes.
There are many devout JWS who are now going what ? A-Ah !

The proclamation of Christ's return was indulgently done so as a marketing strategy to heighten
attention to the WTS's own published literature.
This had been done before be other religious adventists previously in the 19th century also in the United States.
.
It was a doctrine that had its purpose and intent, of course now the GB heads are fumbling over it by
twisting something out the bible to prolong the supposed events a little longer into the future.

Off topic again...but why are the guys in that basketball team standing so strangely ?

Nothing strange there. It's just a simple hand check.
