WT claims progressive understanding and not that wt teachings is an un changeable standard. For example, wt once celebrated christmas and believed in the cross.

Beware of "organization." - They said it!
by punkofnice inwatchtower, september 15, 1895: "beware of "organization.
" it is wholly unnecessary.
the bible rules will be the only rules you will need.

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

overlap(tm)'?
That is not a new concept. But part of the original definition of generation taught by wt in the early 1900,s

Did you ever meet someone born in the 1800’s?
by Fisherman ini met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.
but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

Free Will - Does It or Does It Not Exist?
by truth_b_known inbeing born-in and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses i remember a common theme or phrases used by the watchtower in its theory of why things are the way they are -.
jehovah created humans.
jehovah created humans as free moral agents.

Not being funny, but I'm not convinced a does God exist.
He can give you empirical evidence specially to you to convince you but what difference would that make except that you will know with certainty. Of there is any ultimate justice every person will know.

World wars, and all the other parts of Jesus sign that identity his parausia correspond with 1914 and all the events that followed and the preaching work is all evidence that this is the time period that Jesus prophesied about. Therefore the great tribulation must come during this era of the anointed of the JW. Only the great tribulation with the tethered immediate events has not occurred yet. So seeing all the other evidence, the the gt will hit shortly.
As I said before everybody that was alive in 1914 is gone now both righteous wicked and anointed. Given all the other fulfilled parts the the prophecy, the passing away can only refer to the overlap. Which means that evil generation is not the meaning of generation today.

If you think that in the greater scheme of things he is some how significant
Just using his age as an example.
Since there was no overlapping generation in 70CE that applied, the great tribulation came before all the apostles died of old age. However, the same thing was expected to happen with reference to 1914 but those guys passed away and even everybody else that was alive in 1914 died almost completely if not completely as of now so the generation prophecy can only find fulfillment in a anointed overlapping generation. No other explanation as Brother Splane explained.

So when is the actual latest deadline with the overlapping new light?
There is no new light The deadline was in the past before the death of Brother Fred Franz more or less.
Because the great tribulation dd not occur back then, the only explanation for that is that the definition of generation involves a younger age group living on borrowed .time.

you have not come to term with what the bible really says.
Hi Waton,
I realize that there are diverse views on what the prophecy means but I was just focusing on wt interpretation and I’m only saying that overlap is valid and the last and only definition of generation left given 1914.
