    In his preesentation, he speaks to "You the young ones". He says

    "You are THE NEXT GENERATION of " adult witnesses. This one sentence using generation in the normal way, at a stroke, shows they just made up the overlapping teaching to get themselves out of a hole.

    I haven't the stomach to watch it, but if he really says that, isn't he admitting that the "overlap" is false? If the current overlapping generation is true, surely this system can't possibly last long enough for them to be adult witnesses.

    Ah this is whats known as the overlapping definition.

    It's all accepted in jw cloud cuckoo land.

    he speaks to "You the young ones". He says "You are THE NEXT GENERATION of " adult witnesses.

    You really see the strategy of this move - they are appealing to a younger crowd by coming up with the webcast format. Do they realize that the "young ones" are too busy watching the copious amounts of actual interesting content that the internet has to offer?

    After the first month of hype about this web tv channel, interest will plunge. Young ones are too busy trying to figure out how much "bad" stuff they can get away without the elders knowing, in between being nudged by their parents to attend the meetings.

    How does 'you are the next generation of adult witnesses' fit with 'Armageddon is just around the corner?'

    I wouldn't be surprised if they started encouraging higher education to increase earnings and donations.

    I feel a strong aversion to watching it, have never been on the ORG site, If he said that, no surprise.

    The wt has two kinds of people, The Anointed, overlapping, and the naturals, not overlapping. He was talking to the normal junior slaves.

    saying: DONT GET ANY IDEAS TO TAKE THE EMBLEMS, and become overlappers, Generate the Generations as you alsways have.

    This is interesting, but a tenuous conclusion is drawn. Specifically jumping on the word "generation" is not productive because the overlapping generation teaching has to do with the anointed ones who will not die before the end comes. Whereas, whether it's in this system or the next, the kids Lett is speaking to will grow up eventually.

    Just start noticing: No speech by any GB member has any real inner spiritual depth to it. All they can come up with are hare-brained personal opinions and Company platitudes. BORING!!!! Heaven help the poor deluded JW kid who actually finds that rubbish interesting and inspiring.

    Does the generation teaching really need to make sense when you have KH sing alongs to worldly music, and all other kinds of distractions? Logic and common sense don't really mix with religious cults.
