The GB just decreed that if Jeehoober chooses to anoint someone in theses later periods, who are we to pass judgment?
Translation: Look for gold watch wearing, pinky ring flashing, dissenter bashing, cash grabbing GB helpers to be chosen by Big J! Meanwhile the current GB slip away.

Splash: It would really help the WT credibility if they were at least consistent in their made up explanations!
Haha! That would require logic, and since when has logic had anything to do with the GB!?!?
Eventually the GB are going to have to cut their ties to 1914 and this generation(s) nonsense.
It may a take a decade or more but eventually this new overlapping theology has a time limit placed on it as well.
In a realistic sense the WTS created and propagated 1914 and this generation because it was marketable useful of a doctrine to attract attention to the literature the organization published, as well self confirm that they were preaching god's will and purpose.
The only Last Days that might come about is the Last days of the JWS and the WTS.
Does a generation of overlapping anointed (professed) need bible support?
I know OS GB helpers. According to a previous thread, MS was already partaking in his 20's. GB members are appointed by the WT to GB after years and years of hard work, pioneering, etc, and impeccable character.
This is up for debate: It is Jesus that appoints the FDS before his departure. The GB is appointed by the WT (that is not to say that they are not FDS.)
No matter how you cut it, generation of anointed means 20 years, give or take, before 1914 to 100 years, more or less, after 1914. Hard to find anyone of that generation breathing after that. We will have to see what God means after everything is done and over, however, it is hard to believe that God would deviate from the norm in the meaning of GT generation, pushing it to the extreme limit or using some special meaning of generation not used in the Bible before. Generation of 1914 will not make any sense at all after 2017. That is the final limit. There is however a new definition of generation that I saw in a recent pub that does not apply to anointed. By WT definition of overlapper, any contemporary anointed of FWF is an overlapper, 1992+100=2092, 200 year old generation! - Just before the bi-centennial- Something has to give before 2017.
Sanderson has been partaking since his early 20's.
But really " overlapping generation". Who thinks this bullshit up?

David Splane apparently. He's the only one who makes a good show of "understanding" it.
The trouble with trying to make sense of WT statements about whether GB helpers are all non-anointed is that they didn't think we'd still be here in 2015 or that it would ever be an issue. So they were inconsistent and contradictory in how they described it. But it seems helpers have always been a mixture of "other sheep" and a few claiming to be anointed. The bottom line is Splane flat out states that all of the current GB are part of the "overlapping generation" so that's that. It has been decreed: it's their messed up nonsense, so they get to define stuff however they like.

anybody baptized in the 90s can be overlapping, so hunker down for a long wait past 2075 . even a "last" day has a thousand years.
This is just one more example of how WT "theology" is internally inconsistent and incohererent.
Most good fiction writers are better at coming up with fantasies that make sense and are not filled with contradictions.
But it's pointless to try and make sense out of this nonsense.
It's just a big steaming pile of overlapping bullshit!
This overlapping generation doctrine is clear and obvious indication of the WTS's own inherent corruption by the men who are in power and control of this organization.
You better obey and believe us or you'll anger god .
