Jehovah's Witnesses what is your latest understanding of the term 'this generation'?

Answer 1

Jesus said in Matthew 24 ''Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur''. The latest understanding is that he meant :

''Truly I say to you that this generation, that saw the generation that saw 1914, will by no means pass away until all these things occur''

The journal The Watchtower 2010 April 15th explains as follows :''How, then, are we to understand Jesus' words about "this generation"? He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation'' In other words, the generation that saw the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away until all these things occur.
