    Hi guys,

    I was going to ask all of you to define the 144,000 and how the Watchtower defines them but soon realised that there's not much too it. In fact, I think it's the easiest "truth" the Watchtower has ever conjured, unlike the 607 debacle.

    Did you know that you can only find the term "144,000" (or the Gross Thousand as I like to call them - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-beliefs/the-gross-thousand/), mentioned just three times in the Bible.

    Three Times!!!

    That's it. oh, did I mention they're supposed to all be Jewish too?

    What a load of bull-crap. And to think; for 28 years, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker...

    Don't I have egg on my face!

    Regards,
    Jaymes

    P.S. Take a look at my article to see why I now call the 144,000 "The Gross Thousand".

    Mmmmmm. . . . Didn't know that "gross" fact - pretty interesting.

    144000 not a literal number? Yup, I agree, that will be going the way of the dodo shortly. The new FDS doctrine laid virtually 90% of the groundwork for that one.
