Does anyone here know how the WTC came up with the type and antitype of prophesies. For instance the great tribulation. Matt 24 says that there would be a great tribulation like never before and will never be again. If that were true, which the society admits happened before and including the destruction of Jerusalem, how could there be another one? They talk about it all the time but I have never seen any explanation for it. This may have been discussed before but I haven't seem to have come across it yet.

Lol! That's thinkng up to your nickname...
I suppose the pattern of "dual fulfillment" might be directly traced back to adventism, and further to the Christian and Biblical use of reinterpreting prophecies deemed as "unsatisfactorily fulfilled". Daniel 9 does that already to Jeremiah 25...

Devastating logic, logic!
I'm embarrassed to have ever believed any of this stuff.

The Bible talks about types and antitypes so they do exist but the WTS has gon ecompletely overboard finding them everywhere. The idea is that a lot of the antitypes refer to them so as to give them validity see how many biblical characters foreshadow the coming of the FDS of the JWs who is in effect their Governing Body.
