Good comments!

Found my way, here is where the WTS comes up with 200 million angels plus:

*** w61 1/15 p. 57 Angels—God’s Spirit Messengers ***As to their number, the Bible assures us that the angels are well-nigh innumerable. In prophetic vision Daniel saw "thousand thousands that kept ministering to [God], and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him." The apostle John tells that the symbolic heavenly armies numbered "two myriads of myriads," or 200 million. And repeatedly we read of myriads of angels or holy ones.—Dan. 7:10; Rev. 9:16; Heb. 12:22; Jude 14.

I heard an interesting public talk recently that described how angels hover over Witnesses who are in the field, and take notes about homeowner's reactions, then give them to God.

A "home but won't answer" written on the territory sheet was described as being a sure trip to Gehena, I guess a way to empower the poor JWs who generally feel pretty miserable in the field service.

Thanks Blondie! I will always deeply appreciate the effort you put into this every week.

Thanks to the deprogramming that JWD is helping me to do, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to read anything produced by the WT.

You continue to help lurkers and the undecided. I am indebted to you.

Today at the meeting a 7 year old girl commented in response to the question, What will the angels do in the future? "Kill thousands of people" wow- if that doesn't open your eyes....

I have two books on my library shelf on Angels. 1) New York Times Bestseller: A Book Of Angels by Sophy Burnham. and 2 ) Angel Medicine by Doreen Virtue, PH.D.

A Book of Angels tells the extraordinary true stories of present-day encounters with Angels and also traces the study of Angels throughout history and in different cultures.

What are Angels? What do they look like? Whom do they choose to visit? Why do they appear sometimes and not others, and would you recognize them if they did come?

She writes about the powerful male angels of the Old Testament, Zoroas - trian angels, Hindu apsaras, the mysterious angels of the Jewish Kabbalas, cherubim, seraphim, guardian angels, the angel of death, and others. Reminding us that there are angels in every religion.

Angel Medicine is about healing the body and mind with the help of the angels.

I'm thinking the Watchtower Society has never read these two books.

and was said in earlier comments - in Genesis they materialized MALE bodies and had sex with women. So the main times they are mentioned in the bible -- (nowhere does it mention them looking on taking notes while in field service) the ywill be either killing or having sex - what a horrible crowd the angels are -and yet they get a WT article dedicated to them

I have nothing insightful to add this week. Hubby and I are playing hooky. I can't say that I mind!

Finally, my perennials are up. The crocuses are in bloom, and I've uncovered the sprouds of Periwinkle (surprise), Chives, Forest Geranium, Hollyhocks, Cornflower, Pearl Wort, Rhubarb, and Delphinium. I guess that heavy snow cover worked wonders.

Thanks for the review,Blondie.I hope you are better.

This weeks topic is Angels.

Why doesn't Father Jehovah control his brats(angels) and teach them some morals.He had millions of years yet he let them materialize as males and caused havoc for thousands of years for our human parents.He only gave our greenhorn human babes only one chance and killed them.Not only did he kill them but in a cruel way he dround our baby brothers and sisters.By the way did he kill those naughty male angels who unmaterialized.
