Not at the meeting again this evening so re-reading some of COC on my current favourite topic, the generation that will not pass away. Okay, the November 1st 1995 Watchtower describes the generation of Jesus prophecy as follows:
?Rather than providing a rule for measuring time, the term ?generation? as used by Jesus refers principally to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics?.
So let?s play the generation game - name as many as you can (generations, age, era) and you will see that a generation described in these terms is often so much shorter than even 70 years. To start with;
1. The Edwardians 1901 ? 1910
2. The cold war ? 1950?s to 1980?s (Kennedy and Khrushchev the early players now long dead)
3. The Thatcher Years (Margaret Thatcher that is)
4. The Big Band Era

The Thatcher Years (Margaret Thatcher that is) Strictly speaking Reagan/Thatcher years
The Bronze Age
Baby Boomers (they are approaching 60 years old) and they are post 1945 -- in other words the end of WW2 never mind the start of WW1 -- 1914 !!!
