  The problem is that most devout indoctrinated JWS don't think the organization they belong to has never

  been a commercially inspired corrupt fraud of sorts.

  They are naive and ignorant on many levels to what they really are involved in as well the how and whys.

  Certainly the GB heads will never disclose what they are involved in either, they are playing this particular

  power game for all its worth and keep in mind this is their own livelihood.

  .

  The WTS. started out by proliferating rubbish which contained its own attractive appeal to readers and

  listeners directed to the public, that was its core objective via C T Russell, weakly supported purposed doctrines

  but nevertheless advantage in marketing literature.

  Overlapping generations was already introduced generation ago when I walked away from the WT cult in 1994. I heard reasoning back then generation can represent multiple biogenesis that is made of multiple successive generations that is a witness of the same phenomena. For example Renaissance started in 1400 and lasted 200 years and anyone living in that period was a member of the Renaissance generation. This was explained back in CZ at that time and JW thought that it was awesome. In theory, WT can claim generation of 1914 to last several hundreds of years and decades after decades because human race was witness of the same changes that started with WWI.

  Kaik, in 1995 it was a just an indeterminate period of time. They have changed it now to a single overlap, so that it appears like it needs to come before the second generation dies out. Subtle but importance difference to the timeframe.

  With the recent emphasis in talks and articles stating that "it is good and correct to strive for the future blessings" to be gained in the new world, (and a stressing that it is not selfish to look forward to your rewards,) this just sets them up even more for massive disappointments!
