  thinking of the fresh light. they are not only selling buildings, they are shrinking the supposed teachings of the 'Carpenter from Galilee' too.

  The newfangled FADS is projected to exist only during the overlapping two-group generation 1919~2075? 156 years, versus the ~2046 feeding years that included the infamous Peter, PAUL, but not Mary. The time frame has shrunk to 1 /13 st. short but sweet. The christians must have been starving during the other 12/13 time slice.

  The Feeding Folks were supposed to be the 144 k stretched into that period from THE Pentecost to The Big A. now, its only 8, certainly overlapping from 1919 to the 'rapture'.

  F&DS shrunk to 1/18 000 ts of it's former first 'CLASS' glory.

  There will be a limit to the shrinking though.

  its Plank time; Plank size. plonk.

  The starting year for the overlapping generations can be as early as 1839 if you suppose one born at that time was anointed and lived 80 years to see 1919.

  These ones meet the latest definition of the first group of overlappers.

  WT Jan 15, 2014 p.31 para.15 "Let Your Kingdom Come", But When?
  "We understand that in mentioning "this generation," Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians. The first group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of Christ’s presence in that year. Those who made up this group were not merely alive in 1914, but they were spirit-anointed as sons of God in or before that year. —Rom. 8:14-17."

  So an anointed one "alive in 1914" could be either at the end of their life (born 1830's) or near the beginning of their life (born 1890 and still anointed by 1914).

  Thus the first group can extend during the lives of any of these ones, from the 1830's to those born later and dieing in the 1970's.
  Certainly, a long lived first group of the overlapping generation, approaching 140-150 years, not even counting the 'second group'!

  "Have no fear little flock"........Even though the number of the "real" FDS has shrunk considerably, the number of the annointed (aka:partakers) continues to increase every year since 2006 and has not actually decreased for over 4 decades. It must be a sign of the nearness of the END!

  Just saying!

  eyeuse2badub,--. Since July 2013, the little flock (Jesus' apostles he was speaking to) were declared never to have been part of the 'Faithfull Slave'. Previous wt writers were wrong on that, old light!, so

  that is how they shrank the FADS, striking everybody from Russel down off the list. but

  The op figures are only approximate.

  The Faithful& Discreet slave of 1919 vintage are not just the present 8, it also includes the overlapping luminaries like Rutherford, Knorr, Franz, Friend, Dunlap, Greenlees, Henschel and future appointees, and possibly contributors.

  Their tenure in overlapping groups may come to an end earlier than 2075, at the time when the last of the rulers-to-be with Christ loose their heads. Rev.20. so

  a lower ratio of shrinkage could be: members: 1: 6000 -- from 144400 to ~24,

  reduced, shrunk time: 1:16 -- from 2000 years to ~120 ( Pentecost 33 to 2034 -vs- 1919 to 2034.)

  guess who is guessing too.
