Where is the school for the 144,000?

  The reason there is no school for the 144,000 is because the "Governing Body" successfully conducted a power grab much like Rutherford did of the Watchtower after the death of Russell.

  If memory serves, the Watchtower taught for years that the "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class" was all the remaining member of Christ's heavenly kingdom government still on earth. This caused heart burn for the powers that wanted to be at Watchtower HQ. A campaign to silence those who professed to be of the Annointed was secretly carried out. My belief in this is because my father was one of many victims brought to my attention.

  The newer doctrine taught by the Watchtower of the Governing Body solely being the Faithful and Discreet Slave turned a figuratively bloody coup into a figuratively bloodless coup. The Watchtower successfully cast doubt on all who profess to be of the Annointed and as a result the whole remnant of the 144,000 still on earth was reduced to a bunch of loons distanced from the rank & file.

  the idea that only 144,000 would be in the New Covenant is a huge distortion of what the NT teaches. Bc

  Right.

  The new covenant is not the kingdom covenant.

  The new covenant is for forgiveness of sin. foe all.

  kingdom and levitical covenant for specific functions.

  like israel, all were in the law covenant, only Juda and Levi in the davidic & levitical covenants.

  Good Point. They should have a school for the 144k in training them to eat the blood and flesh of Holy JC.

  Also, how are they they so well trained to hate apostates, even without the school.

  That was an excellent post. Here is what you stated and the article in which the Society wrote in a Watchtower article ''turning a figuratively bloody coup into a figuratively bloodless coup''.

  “We Want to Go With You”

  16 Not all who have the heavenly hope are part of “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45-47) As in the first century, Jehovah and Jesus today are feeding many through the hands of a few. Only a few anointed Christians in the first century were used to write the Christian Greek Scriptures. Similarly today, only a few anointed Christians have been appointed to provide spiritual “food at the proper time.”

  13 “Jehovah knows those who belong to him.” (2 Tim. 2:19) Those taking the count at the Memorial cannot judge who truly have the heavenly hope. The number of partakers includes those who mistakenly think that they are anointed. Some who at one point started to partake of the emblems later stopped. Others may have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven. Therefore, the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.

  I should officially hello everyone! I've been reading here a long time, and have drawn many great points from this forum. Finally decided to join.

  In that article you posted, Rules and Regulations, it states the anointed are not to "bond" together. This is so hypocritical when we think of the elder body, whom we are told "represent the royal priesthood". The elders are a "body", working together under the GB....to dismantle the any unification of the anointed body of Christ. 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2

  Welcome, Konagirl !

  You stated:

  it states the anointed are not to "bond" together. This is so hypocritical when we think of the elder body, whom we are told "represent the royal priesthood".

  Great point! Every Jehovah's Witness member needs a ''bond'', but when it comes to the bonding between the ''Governing Body'' and the ''faithful and discreet slave,'' now that is frowned upon. The ''faithful and discreet slaves'' would cause ''divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit.'' No, actually the Governing Body make them go away, just as it is written in paragraph 8........

  
  

  8 In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. They do not seek out others who claim to have the same calling, hoping to bond with them or endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study. (Gal. 1:15-17) Such efforts would cause divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit, which promotes peace and unity.​—Read Romans 16:17, 18.

  "In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. They do not seek out others who claim to have the same calling, hoping to bond with them or endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study. "

  Okay, so how many "elite clubs" are there anyway? The GB, the Personnel, Publishing, Service, Teaching, Writing, Coordinator's Committees. But, if the anointed join together, they will be considered an "elite club"; just to study the Bible as a group? Obviously, the GB are afraid of what the anointed will come up with, if joined under their Head, Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:26,27

  So, an organization becomes established over the last 140 years or so, and has successfully changed the meaning of scripture! The apostle Paul stated that there should be no division – no schism in this anointed Body. Oh, if only the anointed would stand up for themselves! 1 Cor 12:21-26

  Thank you, Rules and Regulations!
