Has anyone seen the 4/15/2010 Watchtower with their own eyes?

I haven't followed the generation change in the doctrine that closely, just read a few snippets of the overlapping generations doctrine. I find this hard to believe even for the pathological liars the Governing Body.

Can anyone validate that the WTBTS really is saying this overlapping generation idea the way it is being quoted on the internet in a few places? Here is the quote I have seen:

How, then, are we to
understand Jesus’ words about “this generation”?
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.

This seems too incredible even for the WTBTS.

I haven't seen the hard copy but it's on their website, jw.org.

Yepper! That's a big roger, cowboy. Cut & pasted from the PDF itself:

Third, holy spirit is at work in bringing

Bible truths to light. (Prov. 4:18) Thismagazine

has long been used by “the faithful and

discreet slave” as the primary channel for

dispensing increased light. (Matt. 24:45) For

example, consider our understanding of

those who make up “this generation” mentioned

by Jesus. (

Read Matthew 24:32-34.

)

To what generation did Jesus refer? The article

“Christ’s Presence—What Does It Mean

to You?” explained that Jesus was referring,

not to the wicked, but to his disciples, who

were soon to be anointed with holy spirit.

Jesus’ anointed followers, both in the first

century and in our day, would be the ones

who would not only see the sign but also

discern its meaning—that Jesus “is near at

the doors."

You CAN'T make this shit up! ;)

I downloaded it and verified it. Yes, this is the official WT. Wow.

More unbelievable than the snippet I posted above is this one:

"we do well to
keep in mind several things about the word
“generation”: It usually refers to people of
varying ages whose lives overlap during a
particular time period".

I looked up the word generation in multiple dictionaries and found ZERO definitions like "refers to people of varying ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period". None of the definitions of the word generation that I found have anything like that meaning at all.

Now the WTBTS is just making up word defnitions. Geeesh.

Note To Faithful And Discreet Slave: Please provide said "evidence" to rebuff apostates.

This magazine has long been used by “the faithful and discreet slave” as the primary channel for dispensing increased light. (Matt. 24:45)

It seems to me, that the use of the word "primary" channel would indicate secondary or tertiary channels as well. If that seems to ring true for anyone else, what would these channels be, and has the WTS ever recognized them as such??

We shouldn't be surprised if 99% JW's don't even blink at this new light. When it comes to religion, gullibility knows no limits. I mean a billion Catholics think the Pope is infallible and contraception is wrong LOL.
