    I enjoy it when women defile me, they make it sound like a bad thing.

    There is way too much detail in this passage for it to be meant in a purely spiritual sense. Look at that list of the different tribes...exactly which ones of the annointed are from which different tribes. If it is spiritual, what does it mean? No one will answer me on that point...

    Sounds like they were referring to capons.

    I agree with BrentR. The whole thing makes it sound bad and/or dirty. Like you would be defiled from having intimate contact with a woman; almost like implying uncleaness. Funny how being defiled never seemed to bother them when they were raping and pillaging and killing women and children. Makes me wanna spit...

    But all the writer had to say was 'they were virgins'

    I asked an elder this very same question once. The answer was: It only means in a 'spiritual sense'.

    So you've got a literal number of spiritual Jews who are figurative men and are spiritual virgins. Makes perfect sense to me.

    ROTF!!!!!!

    My take on that is it's saying that they make themselves eunich and are spiritually chaste . I heard from my bible study conductor at one time that they believe that the defiling themselves with women means false religion like as in harlot or something like that . The 144k are all men IMO but the WTBTS allows for women to stake a claim at it as well. It does make more sense to say that since they will be living with the angels that they do need to give up all sexual impulses . The angels did already have a major malfunction over it . The gentiles are allowed in the new covenant so to say it is all jews would not make any sense , if you read the new testament the gentiles are also called holy ones and chosen ones and are also given the opportunity of co-rulership for the millenium.

    They didn't defile themselves with women does it mean here the daughters of Babylon? Since the whole context is symbolic the women also have to be symbolic.
