This information is specifically directed to members of the Jehovah's Witness organisation.
1.
Many Jehovah-Witness's are somewhat uneasy of the linking generation concept. At the 2010 annual meeting, Brother John Barr presented the rethought understanding on Jesus "generation" period by the society, as the generation period had run out. He was an apt choice to deliver this talk, being the last of the JW's Governing Body born before 1914.
THE NEW EXPLANATION
2
In the Watchtower it stated that Jesus meant that the anointed ones who witnessed 1914 would lap over lives with later anointed ones who would then live on to see the great tribulation. This period would involve two groups with lap over lives, the first group beginning in 1914 would later lap over with the second group to see the great tribulation, see Watchtower June 15 2010 p5.
3.
In the Watchtower it said, the 1914 'generation' now includes two tandem groups of anointed ones whose lives "overlap": In the article, Holy Spirits Role in the Outworking of Jehovah's Purpose, it said that Jesus was referring to his disciples who in the first century and today and that he meant the anointed in 1914 would lap over with later anointed ones who would see the great tribulation. Advocating its members to keep up with holy spirit advances! see April 15, 2010, Watchtower p.10,
2010 DISTRICT CONVENTION
4.
At the 2010 district convention, reference was made to the Matthew 24:34 generation, stating this generation is made up of two groups of anointed ones. The first alive in 1914, the second group, later anointed ones, who over lap the older group.
2014 WATCHTOWER
5.
The Watchtower January 15, 2014 stated that Jesus was referring in this generation as two groups of anointed ones. The first group anointed with holy spirit in 1914. The second group anointed while the first group were still alive. It said, this second group are now of advanced age but some will see the great tribulation, see Watchtower 2014 Jan 15 p.31.
2014 BOOK GOD'S KINGDOM RULES
6.
This states the generation is made up of two overlapping, groups. Some of the second group will see the great tribulation. These two groups of anointed ones, overlap to form one generation. See 2014 book God's Kingdom Rules. See God's Kingdom Rules! (2014) pp.11-12
7.
September 2015 JW Broadcast on tv.jw.org, explained that the generation included, any anointed one that later met brother Franz, as he was born, baptised and anointed prior to 1914, see chart 17:1.
Chart 17:1THE OVER LAPPING GENERATION OF FRANZ

8.
Using the example of brother Franz born in 1893 who saw 1914 and died in 1992. That some other anointed ones who for a time were alive when he was will live to see the beginning of the coming tribulation. The two groups form one generation because their lives as anointed Christians overlapped for a time.
9.
If an anointed who was say 20 years old, met brother Franz in 1987 five years before he died, then went on to live until he was 90 years old dying in 2057 could extend the "generation" for another possible 39 years to circa 2057.
CONUNDRUMS
10.
Some understandably have been very uneasy about this change in the use of Jesus word "generation". It presents many with conundrums as there seems to be no scriptural precedent for this extension of a ‘generation’. Jesus saying “by no means end” emphasize its containment within one generation. Our general definition of generation is “contemporary people all living during one definitive period of time”. It is in this sense, that it seems to be used, in the word of God?
11.
For example Jesus reference to the last Jewish generation in the first century.
23:35-36 "come upon you all the righteous blood spilled on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation" (NWT) .
It is generally accepted this generation ran from 30 to 70, a 40 year period, within which all the events occurred.
12.
A further example at Numbers 32:13
"Jehovah’s anger blazed against Israel and he made them wander about in the wilderness for 40 years, until all the generation that was doing evil in the eyes of Jehovah came to its end" (NWT).
We are told Jehovah calculated this particular generation from the age of 20 up to 60, a 40 year generation (Numbers 14:29-33). These scriptural references seem to support the simple logic that a contemporary bible generation lasts 40 years. Ref THE BIBLE 'FINAL GENERATION'.
13.
The 1914 generation has now stretched 111 years from 1914 to 2025, the term generation should reasonably apply to Jesus emphasising that,
"this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur" Mat 24:34 NWT).
Applying the scripture examples of generation as 40 years from the 1914 generation, we should have seen all these things occur before 1954.
There seemed to be 3 alternatives.
1. Do nothing and allow the generation to evolve into an undefined era or age.
2. Extend the generation period by linking overlapping life times.
3. Recalculate 'C.T.' Russell's 1914 date on which the generation calculation was hung, is this date safe?
Number 3 is by far the most logical, Jehovah is now releasing important breaking new truths on His Kingdom and the date of Jesus second presence, based on the time and need to know basis, go to: THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESS THINKER And THE WISE VIRGINS
