    The whole doctrine of great crowd and 144,000 is very difficult for a JW to prove. A couple of points.

    Read Rev 14 and the number 144,000 is figurative. http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/144000.htm

    The Other Sheep actually join the little flock to become one flock. http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/greatcrowd.htm

    However, be aware that JWs are not in it for the doctrine, and a discussion on doctrine is not likely to get her to admit the GB are not directed by God.

    Good topic; I'm currently researching the whole mediator teaching of JWs that Christ's covenant only applies to the 144,000 and the rest of us must simply be in good standing at the kingdom hall or be SOL. None of the scriptures quoted (insight book) to support this teaching say anything about the new covenant only consisting of the 144K. The scriptures point out that those of the new convenant are those who follow Christ and God.

    Not only that, but in recent WT publications the org has been diminishing the importance of the annointed. Where does this illogical connection 144K = new covenant come from anyway?
