Time to move the starting point. - stillin
Yeah stillin they're going to have to do that eventually once everyone who overlaps with the 1914 generation has died off.
The thing is from what newbies on here say, young adult born-ins and new converts now don't know anything about the generation teaching at all! Yet still they convert or get baptised! Following all those life-crippling rules with no end in sight. Why?!

In the 1800's you would have read in the newspaper about a crime, then maybe 2 weeks later about another crime. - Jayduby
Very true, I sometimes search old newspapers, some from the 1800s on microfilm in my job. All the crimes are there and also the reports of suicides which struck me. Suicide from despair is not at all new.
Also what hits you in the eye are the adverts for quack medicines in 19th century newspapers. Some of them sound so dangerous. People who think some diseases are hopeless now, should read the desperation those remedies suggest.

No, they don't really use that term it makes it sound ridiculous (which it is) most don't talk about it - JW rogue
I'm PIMO and I never hear the term used at meetings or in general conversation. The subject is never brought up. - a piece of shit
To be perfectly precise, the official doctrine is that there is "one generation composed of two overlapping groups". No one uses the exact phrase "overlapping generation" - sir82
Thanks guys that answers my question.

Nowwhat? so no one talks about it and it's rarely discussed in the literature? Odd, I doubt if I went a week without talking to a householder about the one generation from 1914 teaching in FS. It must be a huge elephant in the room thing among JWs mustn't it?

Well I thought it was a simple question that would get a simple yes or no answer. In one way I guess it's a relief to know I'm not the only one who hasn't worked this out yet even though we've had hundreds of posts about it.

Yes I know what the teaching is for Fink but I want to get a handle on what the JWs themselves call it. Is it a derogatory term we use or do they use it themselves? Could I say it to my JW sister or brother if, by some miracle, they ask me one day why I don't come back and actually listen to the answer?
I'd also like to try it at a cart/ trolley, there are usually two in my town every Saturday.
