Hello all and Happy Tuesday!
In light of the recent discussion on the 144,000, I thought I would mention a program recently aired on the Discovery Channel. It was about the Catacombs in under Rome. It is estimated 6.5 million were laid to rest there. And that does not mention all the other cities were there are Catacombs under them. So this brings me to my question:
How in the world can you ignore the fact that with so many dead from Jesus day until 1935, would it really be reasonable to believe that there wasn't at least 144,000 faithful Christians that died prior to 1935?? The only reasonable and honest answer is "YES".
It blows me away how most JWs don't and won't even look at that as a possiblity. My husband tried reasoning this to my brother in law who by the way is a young elder..his responce? "I don't believe you!" He didn't believe that there even are Catacombs in Rome or anywhere else. Talk about ignorant!!!
Here is a great sight if any of you are interested: http://www.catacombe.roma.it/
