The funny thing about this whole generation teaching is; in 20-30 years, when they do "receive new light" and change the teaching. It will be buried in paragraph 8 of a watchtower study and 95% of jw's wont notice it.
"I thought we always taught that" is what you'll hear

I pity the poor JW who has to explain all of that to his/her study.

juanvasques88: "a freudian slip on minute 6:13: "Jesus said: this generation will pass away...will NOT pass away"
as a psychoanalyst this mean a lot. -- Not just Freud, wt actually teaches what the man inadvertently blurted out.
wt teaches that the generation will pass away before the end , before Armageddon, (included in "all these things"). A big deal, for it sinks their whole "anointed generation" doctrine. and
Splane clearly implied that there could be older anointed than F.Franz in the first group, but older ones also in the overlappers, giving a window beyond 2075.

Well......using his actual words, he is actually not endorsing what "some people have speculated" as it coming in the 2040 time (assumeing someone 40 years old annointed in 1990, lived to be 80). He specifically says Jesus wasn't communicating some sort of formula.
He then goes on to double talk saying that nowhere is it said the overlapping generation members need to be "old and decrepit" when the end comes. This insinuates instead it will be sooner.
Always important to be able to speak doubletalk when considering these broadcasts.

problemaddict2: "--He then goes on to double talk saying that nowhere is it said the overlapping generation members need to be "old and decrepit" when the end comes. This insinuates instead it will be sooner. -- yeah, but their prime example of the first group, FFranz was old and decrepit when that group expired. others in the group possibly even older, according to the Splane insert. So: in the overlapping group also,--older still--making 2075 an "assured expectation"

Fascinating video. To have been away from JW news for about a decade, and to step back into this week and see this video is stunning.
The entire JW faith, from all I have seen, tells me that the JW faith is more about continuously experiencing anticipation than any formal set of beliefs, practices, or traditions.
Most of the general dogmas are a means to an end, used to validate their superiority over other faiths. They really could be anything. If nobody celebrated birthdays they would have been making the case for 100 years that it is an essential christian practice.
The amazing thing is how blatant all of this talk about the future is really about the present. It's a formalized fantasy that distracts from ordinary life. It's all about the experience. That the future they dream about never actually comes to be is besides the point. We got through today by dreaming about tomorrow. Mission accomplished.

The two men, Flodin and Splane clearly appear rattled when having to address this subject. , if you knew them in more confident, up times. They must know the implications, that the piggybacking of generations is dishonest, and even if it would be going off as planned, it could be still 6 decades before "all these things" are done.

2040 minus 1914 equals 126 which equals at least 3 overlapping generations...
