obviously, 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.
very silly of them. overlap
Valid dictionary definition seems to me. The puzzle is what did Jesus mean by generation in the olivette in terms of time. WT had applied a definition of generation to a time limit until recently. At present there is no wt defined time limit assigned to the olivette generation except that the second group of anointed will not die off before the great tribulation. Nothing more is officially stated or implied.
the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.
what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.
have made certain that his "subjects" were clearly made aware of a future life,
The Bible makes that crystal clear.
watchtower, september 15, 1895: "beware of "organization.
" it is wholly unnecessary.
the bible rules will be the only rules you will need.
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.

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

Generations don't replace other ones
Hope that somehow they do!
i 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..
At 91+
You hang in there Waton! The righteous will possess the earth and live forever upon it.
being 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.
