by indoubt indiscussing recent earthquakes, the italian journal ?ii piccolo?

8,565 Anointed Left - Who will be part of the GB when they are gone?
by indoubt ingranted, there are some "young" anointed, who are supposedly replacing older anointed who "have fallen out of the truth".. but very soon, this "switch game" won't be working anymore... the number will keep decreasing and the amount of "replacements" will diminish as well, until there are none left.. i am sure that others have made similar remarks, but if we say that a 10 years old was anointed in 1935 (deadline for being anointed), that would mean that this person is now 79 years old today.
let's do some maths and be conservative: let's say 80% (6852 anointed) are the original ones (anointed on 1935 or before) and that they were all anointed on 1935 at 10 years old.. now the other 20% (1713) are "replacements" anointed (took the place of an original because he/she has fallen).
those persons must have some kind of spiritual maturity, so let's assume this group has an average of 30 years old.. combined average age = 69 years old.

When was 606/607 first used by the WTBS to prove 1914?
by indoubt inas we all know, 1914 has been a pivotal date for the jw (although its meaning has changed with the time).. the oldest "calculation" to get to 1914 that i could find comes from thy kingdom come (copyright 1891) (1910 edition -- studies in the scriptures, vol.
3) p.342 (thanks to quotes.watchtower.ca):so, then, if we measure backward down the "first ascending passage" to its junction with the "entrance passage," we shall have a fixed date to mark upon the downward passage.
this measure is 1542 inches, and indicates the year b.c.
