....The anointed flesh will not, should never be saved....
All comentary.
WT "this generation" teaching stands valid based on the definition of generation as wt applies the definition to the 2 annointed groups. And that's that.

No, that is not understood by any definition of a generation except the convoluted WT definition
Besides your remarks, you have not invalidated WT teaching of "this generation" as not conforming to the definition of generation.

Fisherman, how is their overlapping generation definition a valid one?
Axiom that a generation definition includes overlapping ages. Applying the prophesy to the "anointed," the present "this generation" teaching conforms to such definition.

The overlapping generation teaching is SO stupid its beyond parody.
It is still a valid definition, nonetheless.

Is there any significance to the classification, as long people read, have fun, rejuvenate their synapses?
I don't think it is funny to start a topic fooling everyone into believe that it is a serious topic and it turns out to be a big joke. Suppose people started doing that all over the Forum?

some of the wt beliefs are obviously jokes
Then some of the category "Beliefs and Practices" of JW should be a sub-category of "Jokes and Humor." It is not.
