i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.
In short the the JWS religion was started by men who ran the Watchtower Corporation so that's why its core doctrines were falsely contrived.
The WTS/JWS have been preaching a tainted commercialized version of the gospel of Jesus for over 100 years.
The men who started this organization were false prophet apostate/charlatans.

What the WTS/JWorg. did is create their own meaning and definition of what the word usage is toward Generation.
WIki and other sources have the usually accepted definition of the word Generation...
A generation is "all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively." It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about thirty years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children.
The key point to their false acclamation is that once you past the typical life span of 100 years starting from 1914, the generation of people witnessing certain events of that generation(s) ends. A new generation has now followed the previous.
What that means is that the generation of people living now and for a few years more are not of the previous generation that witnessed events starting from 1914.

The overlapping generation doctrine is the WTS/JWorg attempt to twist and embellish Jesus own words written into scripture and was done so to uphold and support the previously established doctrine of 1914.
That in itself was an act of apostasy for Jesus himself condemned his faithful followers toward making up a set a time upon god's own sacred time and really that is why most other Christian faiths have not set time like what the leaders of the Watchtower Corporation have done.
In biblical epistemology a generation was to signify or accepted as the life span of an individual, so once you past lets say 100 years you have past that generational time length.
Talk about false religion !
1914 has been a core doctrine of the JWS religion for over a 100 years and more.
If you were a baptized participating JWS and questioned the viability of 1914, you would be swiftly disbanded and disfellowshipped for apostasy by the controlling elders of the congregations.

Overlapping generations = lies to support and cover over previously stated lies.
The JWS religion was built and formed upon a foundation of lies to create
a formulated " Truth "
Perhaps not so surprising being that this religion has a publishing house active at its operational core.

ravi zacharias just passed away the other day.
this is his defense on jesus being the truth.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n77d4dugp4.
Truth is something that is open to change or be accepted as information is gathered that pertains toward the subject at hand.
a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?

Election polls are only useful for creating assuming speculation, particularly when the actual election is months away..

The election is months away but for now things aren't looking the best for Trump .

Theoretically Yes

I think the Democrats will win taking over both the Congress and the Senate in the process.
The mid term elections showed a trend to that direction as well.
Trump has suffered too many hits in his term as president, add in the recent pandemic and racial unrest problems and you have population looking for resolve and answers from their chief public representative .
I dont think the democrats have put up a candidate that will overwhelm the election either. Biden just doesn't have the vigor and articulation than a younger candidate would have, might be his actual age, might be to the fact that he's been in politics for a long time now.
