Backspacer: you said Matt 26:26-29 is pretty straightforward. Jesus passed the bread and wine and said "Drink from it all of you.
One must realize that the Greek Scriptures (aka New Testament) was written specifically for the anointed followers of Christ, therefore, "all of you" would imply anointed followers. The new covenant was made with "all of you " anointed followers, not with the great crowd. Just as all Christians benefit from reading the Hebrew Scriptures though they are not under the law, likewise, those of the great crowd benefit from the Greek Scriptures even though the letters were specifically intended for the anointed.
Of course, I play the apologist here and speak tongue in cheek.

I heard of Ray years ago but avoided his book CoC as vile apostate propoganda from a wicked evil slave as I was taught, I am so sorry for ever having made such a judgment about a truly great man that I never even knew. Now I own both books and am currently reading CoC and am so thankful for the difficult choices he has made that has been a help to so many.
Thank you Ray. Thank you Cynthia.
You are in my prayers.
Sincerely from another soul that you have touched in a profoundly positive way.

THIS GENERATION - again! Who belongs to "This Generation"?
by Titus inwhat about dan sydlik and henschel milton, for example?.
they were born in 1919 and 1920 (after 1914), and both died before the "great tribulation".. .

EmptyInside: No. If you look at the chart at the link below, that would have been true during generation understanding #2 and #5, we have now had further clarification which is a new and improved version of #5.

My take at the convention was, not that 1992 is pointed to as a specific date, but Franz was used as THE example and it applied particularly to ones who were anointed and discerned 1914 (as Fred Franz) and contemporaries defined as those who would have been anointed before Franz died in 1992. Hence, the lives of the contemporaries as anointed would overlap.
Opinion: as time goes on of course, this will probably follow the same extending out as the original single generation did, those old enough to discern, those born by, only now it can cover two separate groups potentially up to 160 years with potential future new light ... the way it is explained now, the overlapping contemporaries would be advanced in age as well since they would have to have been anointed by 1992.

I want to put up on my facebook "Does everyone buy into this nonsense ... contemporaries of overlapping generations = this generation?" You only hear the positive, nobody will express thoughts that are negative. (Including me, thats what this board is for at the moment ... @#$%!!

Audio: Generation teaching as explained at the San Diego District Convention 05-30-2010
by kurtbethel inthis is an excerpt from the final talk of the day, "remain in the secret place of the most high".
i looked around as this explanation was being offered up, and the looks on the faces of people there was mostly disinterest.
this is a very convoluted explanation that reminds me of someone running a con and trying to cobble together an explanation to deal with legitimate objections to their false claims.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/dodp4w.

In the computer world, I think the term used for Watchtower teaching of "this generation" would be "infinite loop".
