Elijah and Elisha represented Rutherford and Knorr. (wt 1965 pg 494-495 par 11-12)
I will quote here a sentence from the article, "Turning to Jehovah” (at ¶11):
That prophetically pictured the end of the work by the Elijah class and the continuation of the same work, only intensified, by the Elisha class.
Whether in this quote or anywhere within ¶¶11 or 12 you formed a conclusion as to antitypes that is unwarranted. You are, of course, entitled to form any conclusion you wish, but my point here is that absent a specific reference to Rutherford and Knorr as antitypes for Elijah and Elisha, respectively, your conclusion is ridiculous. Nowhere in this w65 8/15 article is there a reference to antitypes at all! You may have an ax to grind, and that's fine, but unless you can point to Bible characters that foreshadow or prophetically picture someone else (like how in the w76 1/15 article, Hezekiah and Sennacherib are depicted as being "types" of Jesus Christ and Satan the Devil, respectively, their "antitypes"), you sound rather silly.
I want to explain to you (briefly) that a "type" is an image or representatin of something that will come to pass at some fiture time. An "antitype" is the reality of the thing which the type represents. When Paul says that the quenching of Israel's thirst by the water that issued forth out of the rock, this "water" was a type or pattern of the "living water" that issues forth out of our great Rock, Jesus Christ, the antitype. (1 Cor. 10:1-4) I realize you may not care that which you said here was absurd, but my hope is that if I'm right (that you don't care), someone else reading my post will take my point here in the apirit with which I give it.
