Me agrees with DIM... "where two or more.. " thought you might like a second opinion.. or maybe not? :|? (now if this doesn't work I guess you need the brackets as well???) TOTAL newbie at this
I think I may have been around too many JW's cause here comes one of those, "I can't believe I just asked that" sort of questions that you should be able to work our for yourself....
RE; The Great Crowd... is there any point anyone that is not going to bow down to the 'theocratic order' trying to join this thing?
I'm on quite a few of the Yahoo groups, mainly just to get to know a few people and wait for those who are about to jump out of the boat into spiritual uncertainty, NOT in any way to tell them which way to go next, only to tell them they are loved.
Well this place looks ok but I don't think that anyone expressing any kinds of doubt AT ALL would last more than one post, if that?
OOPS guess I should have tried to register BEFORE posting... oh well... what a lovely place they have going for them... [8>]

Ermm don't get me wrong but didn't Jesus allow his 12 to question... ie the foot washing, etc...
Guess they don't quite have the patience of the Lord?
"At all times it is expected that our posts will reflect the love that Jesus said would be the identifying mark of his true followers."
Whenever a JW says they have the true religion because they show the identifying mark of love, I like to point out that they don't have unity but conformity. 'You will show this love or else!' If it was the true religion, you'd think God's spirit would cause this love to be shown spontaneously from the heart, rather than legislated and enforced by those in charge.
