You are all missing one very important point here:
Regaurdless of the numbers not adding up, the logic not making any sense, the historians being able to prove that what they claim cannot possibly be so, the WTBTS KNOWS via god's holy spirit (At least until corrected with a flashing light -- kinda like a blue light special at Kmart) that the statisticians, mathameticians, scientists, historians and any one else who disagrees with the current blue light are all wrong..
Note, if you disagree with the blue light ahead of time, you are still wrong, even if later proven to be right, which of course can be wrong later on anyway.. Wow! I got a headache again...
The bible states clearly that in 1935 the 144,000th person was selected to be in Heaven with Jesus.. Oh, and while I'm on the subject, where do you people come off stating that the 144,000 referred to in the bible HAVE to be male virgins??? No-Where is that stated in the bible..
You either are adding to or subtracting from the words of the bible, a clear no-no!!!
Satan obviously has a hold on you for you not to be able to clearly see that statement in the bible, and clearly see that the 144,000 were NOT referred to as male virgins!!!!! It's so obvious that it actually makes me stomach sick to think that people cannot see it??? [8>]
