    The account of doubting Thomas( holes in hands and side) is thought to have been added to discredit the gospel of thomas that had been circulating--holy wars!

    Here they are in millennial reign training school since 1919 with Jesus, gleefully anticipating killing billions of people as Jesus shows them how to do it. They are currently serving their apprenticeships in readiness for ruling during the millennial reign (yet to start despite Jesus having taken up kingdom rule in 1914). They all got resurrected in 1919 but aren't ruling yet so they've got to do something in the meantime, apart from playing harps.

    Notice the demonic claw hand on the one standing behind Jesus.

    All 144,013 annointed are alive and well. The real reurrection for the fake annointed happens when they find out the truth of their folly and submt to their betters. Their day will come sooner or later but they have a lot to learn and a world to rebuild first. Then and only then will they be considered adults and possibly worthy of the Crown and Robe.....

    You all are mistaken.

    Jesus died. Since he was not God, he was truly dead. Not existant from Nisan 14-16. Nisan 16 he was resurrected as the prophecy said. The tomb was empty because he body was offered to Jehovah as a sacrifice. He was raised (not rose or risen) by Jehovah as a spirit being as he was before he became a human. He had a spirit body in heaven, not a physical one.

    Jesus appeared to people to prove to them that resurrections take place. He could not be resurrected in the same body because the kingdom is in the heavens, not earth. Thus he rules from the heavens as a spirit being.

    Perry quoted Paul "For believers, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". What does Paul know? He was not a prophet. He had incomplete thoughts on matters. I hate that phrase because it just draws people in on the "present with the Lord". If you all complain that the WTS hold the carrot of the paradise in front of people with no fulfillment, then that phrase is worse. It holds the carrot of being with the Lord in front of people with no proof of fulfillment.

    3.5 years after the kingdom was established in 1914, the resurrection commenced. We have no appearances to prove that. But there is no interaction between them and humans from Jesus and the resurrected ones. That is not the WTS fault.

    JW theology is sound and based on Biblical precedent. No need to attack it. The problem is that they leverage this theology to build a cult. The thought is that God will punish people who don't follow them, but first I would say that God must do more and better interaction with the world before we worry about rules of a cultic group.

    Rattigan - you actually believe the kingdom was established 3.5 years after 1914? If all theology that is sound, the entire 1914 date has more holes then swiss cheese. Do you also believe the 7 trumpets of revelation are fullfilled by 7 district conventions out of order?
