I'm sure I heard that a high up in watchtower land described the gb as 'a concept' to some authority not too long ago - just can't recall the exact details, can you?
If that was true, what the hell does that make their 144,000 'teaching'...🤷♂️

The entire idea of God's Empire to rule from an invisible otherworldly "heaven" is contrary to Scripture.
The Son of Man ist the Coming One. He will be with mankind.
The hundred and fourty-four thousand are his chosen ones out of mankind to become priests for reconcilation and rule for justice. (Cf. Acts: Simon to Jerusalem, and Letter to Romans: concerning the whole creation)
jw (as a church) are mistaken, misleading and irrelevant.

FreeTheMasons: Being a human is a gift. It's such a cool gift that some of the angels coveted it.
As I recall, what they coveted was the nubile bodies of young human women.
The idea that angels would give up such a hallowed position for a fleeting experience is almost comically silly. The only thing sillier is the idea that such beings would have become aroused at the sight of a young lady, or that a god who is so famously uptight about sex would have made them capable of such sensations.

Hey, maybe I'll get disfellowshipped from this forum again!
Again? Interesting comment.
If it were a democracy, I'd guarantee it.

@TonusOH - Your recollection is flawed. The fallen angels didn't materialize as women.
As regards persons who are willing to give up something really good in exchange for something fleeting, I'd think you could understand. If you pretend not to understand, that's kind of silly.
The only thing sillier is the idea that demonocracy could guarantee anything, @DesiriousOfChange.
The God who invented pleasurable sexual relations is able to pour out more blessings until there is no want. Only a fool would trade such pleasure for nonexistence.

Jehovah God's kingdom is coming.
The 144,000 are literal, and Watchtower's being shut down.
I guarantee it. I am a witness of Jehovah, and He is the true God.
Go ahead and get your "electoral college" to disfellowship me. "Make my day."
See you next time.

I know that. To covet is to desire. They coveted those women's bodies because they wanted to have sex with them. Which means that these spirit beings were capable of being aroused by human bodies. Which makes no sense whatsoever. It also makes no sense for a god who is hung up on sexual misconduct to make angels capable of (1)wanting to have sex with humans and (2)shifting into a physical form to do just that.

You appear to have posted on the wrong thread, @DesirousOfChange.
"Their" is plural, so if you think you have a "multiple personality" issue and you went to the hospital, some doctors might have prescribed Depakote for you. Whether you choose to continue that course or not is your own decision, but no amount of drugging up can fix the morally stupid or the stiff necked. Just something to keep in mind, honey.
Guess you're who they were referring to with the "posting off topic" thing. Here, let me help you - this is the thread you were looking for...
