How can 144,000 be a literal number? (page 3)

Kooks and morons can sometimes be quite confusing.

gitas,

Shelby doesn't deserve to be called names by anyone. She may be mixed up or misled but I was not attacking her. dj

so no one was attacking her. Think of it this way. You get to be a witness by one of two routes. you convert or were raised in it. If you convert, you were either

1> Mislead by crafty tactics.

2> At a vulnerable stage in your life.

3>Pretty much gullable.

4>On a spiritual quest of which this was but one bus stop

5>Did it out of love for family or significant other. OR

6>A deluded moron that will believe any bizarre crappy idea, and will eventually move on to the next stupid crappy idea.

But I'm not accusing anyone of anything. We should all get along, Americans, Brittish, and even modern BenJahMen tribesmen from Ysrael.

Maseltov!

I've run into some post-JW Judean converts with similar odd mix of beliefs. They seem to want to reinvent judaism or something. If you want to be a Jew just talk to a rabbi, study their books, and really convert rather then inventing a bunch of rubbish. The Jews have been Jews for a helluva long time, they might just know a better, saner way to practise the religion then x-JWs who have basically been in the kindergarten of theology for far too long.

Wait till she gets into Qabbalah!

I believe that Shelby actually does claim Jewish heritage.

My, my, my... and the greatest of love and peace to you, TOO, dear DJ and Gita! Truly!

May you both please know that I am an American by nationality... and African American by heritage and ethnicity... and an Israelite by blood, through the tribe of BenJahMin. The latter would constitute me a "Jew"... by means of BenJahMin's alliance with Judah.

Since the life is in the blood, it was my blood that my Lord first spoke to... calling "Israel." I heard... I responded. While IN the Organization, I knew who I was, for the 'call' came to me BEFORE I went in. It was because they claimed to have the brothers of Christ among them, those 'anointed' with holy spirit... that I was drawn to them. Once in, it took me a minute, but after awhile I realized that they were NOT who they claimed to be... by means of their hard hearts, stiff necks... and "fruitless" works. But... I did not know where to 'go away' to, and so waited. Eventually, my Lord FOUND me... and led me out. Like Pharaoh, however, they did not want to let me go, but rather wished to put me to 'death'. Among them, then, I am as 'dead'.

You may think me a kook; that's quite okay, for if you think it on account of my profession of Christ and his true name, then I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. (Matthew 5:10, 11)

The reason Hebrew/Aramaic comes up in my speech is because it is my (Israel's) "original" language... the language of my forefathers. That this world does not speak it anymore is irrelevant; my Lord still does... sometimes to me. I did not know that language before hearing him: I have learned quite a bit, and am still learning it. It is not that difficult, actually, for that language did not have as many words... or meanings... as today's languages, particularly English.

When my Lord speaks to me in the ancient language... by some means (holy spirit)... I able to "interpret" his "tongue". I HEAR the interpretation, much like most bi-lingual people do. Sometimes... I just don't get it; but he is patient and eventually helps me to understand: either I read something else... have a conversation with someone else... hear a discussion... and then he will say, "Do you recall that I said to you...?" and immediately I understand.

Again, think what you will; it is of no matter or concern to me. I, for my part, however, wish you, still, the greatest of love and peace.

A slave of Christ,

SJ
