Guys, I don't understand why you are saying that the last known anointed one died in 1992. John Burr was born before 1914, he was a member of the Governing Body -therefore an anointed one, right?-, and he died as recently as 2010. That means the people who are not going to die, according to the 2010 doctrine, could be as young as 4 years old now in 2015...

Um, hello? Hey, it's Dario--th-th-the guy who doesn't post very regularly. Yeah, hey so sorry to interrupt, but I have a question:
(Record needle scratch)
WTF--why does ANY of this "generation" shit even MATTER anymore now that types/antitypes are no longer a thing as of this spring?
(drops mic. crickets)
AleFer,
According to this Overlapping Generation doctrine, the first group is made up of those who were Anointed in 1914, so they had to be old enough in 1914 to already be partakers at the Memorial.
The second group is made up of those who are Anointed while some of the first group are still alive.
So the second group must be old enough to know they are Anointed and partakers at the time when the last of the first group dies off.
Dario,
The Governing Body is still claiming Matthew 24 has a second, antitypical fulfillment, because they consider it prophecy, not narrative or parable.
FusionTheism:
The doctrine says "the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914". It does not say that they were already anointed. Burr was at hand in 1914.
The GB have given up on that "understanding" that nobody understands (or agrees on)
There is NU LITE now.
Here's a real kicker. Every child born before Rutherfraud's nu-light about the heavenly hope, wait for it.....WAS GOING TO HEAVEN!!
Thats right! Little Timmy in 1910 was going to heaven. Oh, what's that?? When was his "anointing"?!?! He died in a tragic accident before he could partake publicly...Uh-Oh!!!
When is a person "anointed"?!? Nobody knows, because it's personal!! All you know is that Sister Catlady started sipping and nibbling. You have NO IDEA when Jeehoober chose her.
Remember:
Jehoober thought-form sock puppet = GB's ideas
Anointed = GB at HQ
LET'S REVIEW......

He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation.
Of course this was devised to strategically lengthen the time of the GT infinitesimally.
Since it had been realized that the anointed number has climbed as opposed to decline as it was once proclaimed, this has been taken and twisted to intensionally extend the future GT and Armageddon indefinitely with probable variance.
In theory they could drop 1914 all together and just ride on this new over lapping doctrine .
My guess is that this is exactly what they are going to do.
