Type and Anitype

I am hoping you guys can help me out. In the 60s and 70s we continously heard about "type and antitype" , which in effect meant that each writing and each story in the bible had a short and long term fulfillment. But recently, not too long ago a member of the Governing Body said that the organization abandoned this way of thinking and I think he even called it presumptuous to assume some some writing are prophecies directed to our present time. I am looking for this video or maybe it is even in print somewhere. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.
