    When Rutherford gave the talk, "Millions Now Living Will Never Die", he was talking about the overlapping generation according to the new understanding.

    straightshooter, thanks for clarifying. I was always troubled about that whole "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" thing. Now I see that Rutherford was prophesying about the Overlapping Generation teaching.

    Truly, it is from Jehovah and it is wondrous in our eyes!

    jeeze you think by now they would just admit they have no understanding . If God cannot lie he sure has alot of followers that do.

    The bad part is these Four generations don't even make up ONE of wash-towels generations!

    Maybe instead of a generation spanning fourty years their's span 400 years.

    Man I want some of what they've been smokin'.

    Well, I need not wonder how you all think of this teaching but I do find it amazing how witnesses will not look at this teaching and not wonder how the Governing Body could try to push this nonsense on them.

    When I ask my wife to explain how this teaching is even remotely correct, she shuts down or tries to side step it with the belief that it does not matter. How have your witness friends and loved ones responding to this?

    I'm surprised they haven't used the thoughts on this board that noah had 120 yrs. so if you use 1914 the generation is over in 2034.

    Everyone alive today is part of the overlapping generation who were alive when Jesus died. It's that simple! What's not to get??
