I seem to remember the 1990s being mentioned as a cut off point for the overlapping. So as long as you were ‘called for the heavenly hope’ before 1990s you could be overlapping generation.
I can see this being changed to born before the 1990s which will give them a couple more decades before they have to admit they were wrong about the overlapping new light.
The next new light may be something about a generation could be 100years or more from 1914 but that would be hard to explain and we are already way past 100 years and that generation has all passed away.

As long as naieve, gullible people are around to believe it be hoodwinked, the chirade will continue.

I might be totally wrong, but that old group seemed to be really true believers. They also seemed to be more serious and scholarly. The new group is just a bunch of buffoons.
Maybe I feel that way about the old group because they were more hidden and mysterious. They received the Carl Olof Jonsson correspondence and research materials and, to me, didn't handle it as would a group who really loved truth. Their actions seemed to indicate that they were more interested in preserving the org and its status quo than they were finding real truth. Oh well, that's characteristic of the new group. Maybe they were no better.

I think the last GB ( Olds being GB now) really believed in the 1914 theory. And that biblical generation is 70-80 year's. 1990 s come around and org starts it's downhill ride. Maeby they just thought jigs up. This didn't work out as we thought and they just started to let everything hang out. Atleast from what I could see on broadcasting they seemed too have lost all interested in what they we're saying. Former GB members were full av enthusiasm when giving talks. This one been very robotic.
