The last 8000 of the 144000 are dead? Who will be their leaders? The Nethinim class? Jonadab class? How fast do you think their numbers will fall off without anyone on this planet going to heaven?

I`m thinking they might go for the soon to be invented Nephilim class! These are the fattest of the fat, elders weighing in at over 350 lbs (and preferably tall). After that it will be the Lazarus class (only elders who at one time in their life were in a coma, but woke up again).

No, because there will always be those who claim to be of the "annointed". Considering that the religion has been around (in some form) since the late 1800's. Then the classes were formed. The religion started their own cast system. There will always be those that want to be part of the higher class, and will claim to have moved up the ranks.

And here I thought that the number of the partakers had declined to around 2,000. Now it appears they have increased to over 8,000 with some 16 million spectators. Of course, as long as their numbers remain that buys more time for the Watchtower Society. I'm sure they're not anxious to see them all die (but I'm not sure where the new ones are coming from); then they will have to come up with some "new light" explanation, just as they did with the 1914 generation.

They will have the Great Crowd running the org, It will be thru the annointed who are in heaven. There currently is heaven to earth communication and group management ongoing. Read the revelation book about the actions of the annointed during the last days, some are in heaven and some on earth. It will be easy for them to switch to GC overseeeing earthly affairs. The rank and file will accept it as long as they have one or two scriptures they can cite.

OnlyThe anointed going to heaven? Why? Because they SAY SO....The GB remind me of the "Hale-Bopp" group more and more everyday.

For them it's not a problem since the number of the anointed is in practice open ended and replenishable even though in theory it should be limited and finite.

Right now they are getting in the GB new "anointed" in their fifties and no doubt a few more will appear to complete the number as the old boys die away one by one. That will solve their problem for the next 30 years or so with the young "anointed" and then after 30 years no doubt more boys trusted by the inner circle at Brooklyn will declare themselves anointed and carry on ruling.

In that way they will not have to rely on the so called Nethinim class. After all the current GB anointed haven't shown anything to persuade us about them being extra spiritual compared to the non anointed. To the contrary they seem to be very secular minded people.

I don't think that you will ever see that...'New light' will come and the 'doors' closing in 1935 will be done away with!

Because don't forget that they teach that there will still be some anointed here ... days being cut short and all for them!

You cannot have an unlimited supply of new annointed every year or the number would exceed 144,000.

Maybe some of the ones who get to heaven aren't qualified to be kings and are kicked out so they need more applicants.
