We understand that in mentioning “this generation,” Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians. The first group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of Christ’s presence in that year. Those who made up this group were not merely alive in 1914, but they were spirit-anointed as sons of God in or before that year.

w14 1/15 p. 31 par. 16

16 The second group included in “this generation” are anointed contemporaries of the first group. They were not simply alive during the lifetime of those in the first group, but they were anointed with holy spirit during the time that those of the first group were still on earth. Thus, not every anointed person today is included in “this generation” of whom Jesus spoke. Today, those in this second group are themselves advancing in years.

Per ohmyjw over at r/exjw:

I assume that other countries also got this letter to BOE dated 1st September 2015 about sending additional information along with S-10 form (annual cong. report). We got one in Poland. Until wifibandit posts original text, here's a rough translation to english:
Given the special care we're giving to our inactive ones, we ask your secretary to prepare an additional letter about witnesses, who became inactive in service year 2015. Please specify their names, surnames, age and a short summary about what you think was the cause for their current situation.
So the Branch wants to have even more control and information. Maybe they want to know about potential apostates? Also, this letter obviously will not be read to the congregation, so R&F will not even be aware that a file in Branch Office will be prepared for some of their brothers without their knowledge and consent.

The latest S-10-E dated 8/14 that I have doesn't mention including additional information as to why.

Can anyone provide an updated version? Can anyone confirm if this is going to be done in other Branches?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 18.

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

So...

Remind me in 31 days "Did Pope Francis lead a UN attack on Jehovah's Witnesses? Has Armageddon Started? Or is Timothex a False Prophet? See Deuteronomy 18:20-22"

It has come to my attention (thanks opinionmill) that the guy in the book is not the same as the guy in the funny hat:

Might not be the same guy, unfortunately. Charles T. Russell was born May 17, 1853, at Grand Ledge, Eaton county, Michigan. Ol' Taze was born a year earlier in Allegheny, Pennsylvania.

I stand by the funny hat statement.
