TD: "Much more than the word games we have seen so far with the definition of a generation.
good description!
V7: these are good reminders, and hidden in these word game changes are actually 4 shortenings of the time wt has available to play with:
1) the change from general population to anointed : There are record breakers living into their 120s, Frederick Franz lived to only 98 ? a give away of ->22 years;
2) the change from normal people to partakers made the count start at the generation member's baptism ( before ~ 1935), or year of first partaking; so,-lop off another 15 years at best. -37 total.
3) The change to overlapping anointed , rather than overlapping 122 year gp seniors, would make that -74 years.
4) By excluding Armageddon from "all the things" that are to occur during the anointed* generation, wt writers took out, shortening it by the heavy, the fun part, the climax, perhaps the denouement too, #. . .> -7 years, because * the last anointed standing will be martyred , called to heaven, raptured, well before the final battle in order to participate! and they used to teach that the last partakers would survive into the new world , # if you include the 7 year cleanup. so:
A repetition of F. Franz gets us close to 2075, the missed opportunities in the games of words could get the wt to 2156 ?, without blinking an eye, or perhaps we see them already winking? it is all a game of heavenly thrones, & words?
