And just like that, with a small "Questions from Readers" article, an entire "generation" of false-hoods has been swept up under the carpet, never to be heard from again. From now on, it will only be spoken about has as if it were speculation and rumours that the rank and file pulled out of thin air, and of course the GB never REALLY meant to imply this and that with types and anti-types. Just like the 1995 article washed away decades of the "Generation of 1914 that would not pass away", so this article washes away the types and anti-types convoluted BS. People under 25 probably won't even miss it or even fully comprehend how HUGE such an article is.
I am 35, almost 36 years old. I grew up attending ENDLESS book study groups in homes of much older ones who lived thru so much, and hearing and studying and comparing older publications concerning types and anti-types from ol' Oracle Freddie Franz was common place in the 1980's. Now? Freddie Franz has been reduced from being the Org's once great "Oracle" to a footnote in WT history along with Knorr; a bat-shit crazy senile old preacher spouting off that the sky is falling - Soon! and that probably had dementia.
Incredible.....just.....incredible. I didn't think anything could top the "Overlapping Generations" thing for me, but this just might have done it, because it effects literally EVERYTHING. Everything in WT-La-La-Land is symbolic, type vs anti-type nonsense. WT writers could make anything mean anything they wanted with "types and anti-types." Now what are they going to do? All that's right, I forgot, "Obey us or DIE. The GB has spoken. Nevermind those Rolex wearing geezers behind the teleprompter."
My jaw is on the floor. What charlatans!
