There will always be highly motivated assholes who decided to "partake." This is clearly a strategy that will propel their career in Watchtower-land. That being said, The Wt has painted themselves into a corner with the overlapping generation. They need brothers who started partaking before Franz died.
Of course, is all they need to do is "clarify our understanding."
Does anyone else remember that weird out of nowhere WT article about 15 or 20 years ago, talking about the "Nethinim Class"? It was postulating that eventually the WTBS could be led by non-anointed. I remember it caused a lot of tongue wagging at the time, and then never seemed to be mentioned again.
This was around the time of the 1995 generation change, so everything felt up in the air like they were just grasping at straws.
Governing Body-Part ...
I though this was an obscene post.
To take issue with the o.p. and support St George of England, Br Splane stated ,in his video explanation of the 'generation ' ,that all members of th GB are anointed & of the second part of "this generation ".
I cannot peer into the future.
SGoE: Shortly before the GT they will be taken to heaven for their reward along with all others of the anointed. After that there will only be OS/GC left on earth. so:
The great crowd is really the generation that Jesus was speaking about when he said the the generation would not pass away until all these things, ( GT, Armageddon Judgement of goats) has happened. and,
while, according to this wt theory, the anointed GB can not be of the GC, it definitely is not the generation, --save yourself the overlap.
unless of course the GC really ends up in the heavy heavenly temple, Naos.

BUT...all current members of the GB were helpers to previous GB members and there is a WT, after 1992, that states all helpers were of the great crowd thus NOT ONE of the current GB was anointed in 1992 which was the magic year they used in their broadcast to define that "second generation" that overlapped with the lives of the "first" (F.Franz death).
The current GB members are all part of the "third generation" that neither saw 1914 nor were anointed at the time of living with an anointed person who did see 1914.
The whole overlapping thing collaspes due to many points but this point is fundamental.
The anointed generation thing is collapsed already because D. Splane charted their course to heaven to be at the start of the GT, thus contradicting Jesus, who promised the last generation to see "all these things".
The Anointed Generation is an ill conceived, stillborn unscriptural concept,
as to the overlapping thing , laughable as it is, D.Splane left the escape clause, that there surely are older Partakers than the GB members., who outlived Franz and might have been overlapped by the currently living 15 000 partakers, who, with an improved life expectancy bring us easily to 2075.
It is not an overlapping GB, but overlapping groups in a generation of partakers,
pity the sheep, , with a GC Governing Body overseeing seven years of marking carcasses, their burial.

Good point.
The current GB members are all part of the "third generation" -wrong. not that good.
It is 25 years that F. Franz died, admittedly not the oldest anointed to do so. A zealot like him, living then, baptized & anointed at 17, would be 42 years old now. part of the second group. At age 100, she would die in 2075 , yes she, because
it is overlapping partakers not GB part takers at conventions that make up the generation.
the second group is in full swing. A third group would give us 2125, not bad either, .
these lunatics will change whatever doctrine suits the current light, the reality is no one is of the little flock of the 144k, The Greater David, The Jenonabab Class etc etc , no one goes to heaven, no one gets resurrected, no one lives forever on a paradise earth,no one rules as priests in heaven, we all die and return to dust, why is that such a hard concept to grasp?
