Those people on that cover were supposed to represent a group of people that would still live on into the New Order. In your best guess, how old were most of those 16 people at the time the photo was taken, and how many do you suppose are still alive today?
Remember, that WT was printed in 1984, nearly 27 years ago. Len.
Those people on the cover were then probably in their 70's and 80's I would guess. If I was a betting man I'd say NONE of them are alive today who were on that cover. Just a guess . So much for " that generation "
They had to atleast be 80 yrs in 1984 I guess they consider the born ins as part of it . I wouldn't think any would be here today and if are in a nursing home .
They died believing they were part of something awe inspiring and eternally worthwhile.
I can't help but envy them a little.

This was covered in the last week or so, the poster identified most of the Bethelites in this pictured and said they are all dead.

I just turned 70 and with the exception of that fellow in the upper right corner, those folks were older than I am today. Of course, that's speculation on my part. Add 27 to my age and that would be 97.
With the average U.S. age maximum average of some 78.X years, a 70 year old then would have exceeded his average by some 27 years.
Was this the final brash statement / prediction from the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class? Were there any after that?

Thanks for that, SGOE. I missed it, obviously.

Hi Aussie Oz,
Excellent, adding those names to that infamous Watchtower cover. That's 10 of 16 now accounted for. Any others? Anyone?
