Doctrines projected by wt writers can be compared to the slides in the old carousel slide shows, the jw audience was kept in the dark, but the next images' bright filtered new light had their rapt attention. Often these doctrine images came around again but modified, often totally changed, turned upside down. think Superior Authorities, resurrection ----,
here are my notes to wt how prepare the next "the generation of 1914 slide:
The generation is overlapping but also composite: made up ( pun intended) of the anointed and the Other Sheep. Variant: the OS only.-- How to scripturally support this changed slide -back doctrinal picture ?
On further consideration: "Jesus made the 1914 generation prophecy to people with an earthly hope. He said that the Great Trib. is cut short because of the chosen ones, -- to save their flesh. The anointed generation does not want or need their flesh saved, but the "chosen ones, who " will build houses, have children, according to Isaiah 65 do. ( in next year's bible reading , timing alert!) and
This composite overlapper generation (or the "OS only" variant) will not pass away until all these things, including Armageddon has occurred, unlike the flawed present slide that has the "anointed only" generation peter out, at the beginning GT, never getting in person to Isaiah's idyllic images.
Bonus: While he anointed generation slide would be out of date by 2075, the new light Composite Generation slide's expiration label shows well past the next turn of the century.
