    "they already do that to some of the 144,000"

    My point is that the 144,000 and the 22,000* memorial partakers are problematic if they want the GB to be the only "Jesus' brothers". The GB can have no rivals. Which is why they, and only they, are now the sole representatives of the FDS "class". The 144,000 and annointed used to overlap with that class, doctrinally. The logical thing would be to jettison the 144,000 altogether and limit the annointed partakers to being only the GB.

    * Two decades ago it was 10,000

    an illustration:

    if the 144,000 are like Jesus' "bride"

    and all christians are like Jesus' "kids"

    what do you think Jesus is about to do to the GB?

    the gb and their wt hierarchy are about to be erased

    the gb and the wt hierarchy will be shamed in front of the entire world

    there will be nothing left of the watchtower corporations and power structure

    it is the judgment of jehovah against them

    Could the picture be the Wright State Ervin J Nutter Center in Beavercreek Ohio?

    If it is, I'd much rather see WWE RAW on the 15th of July than the event featured in the photo.

    I have a thought about the more focus on Jesus. "Apostate" sites are being monitored. Many who left the JW have "found Jesus". So, what if a JW should accidently/or on purpose wonder into one of these sites? Nothing to see here, we believe in Jesus. So their curiosity and critical thinking gets shut down. At anyrate, whatever reason, they are promoting Jesus, it is for the corporated end and not the rank and file-because JESUS has been in the Bible all along. Think about this, when we were IN, if somebody said at the door, you don't believe in Jesus, we would say that we did. It was our conversation stopper so to speak.

    On one hand we were taught about Jesus and on the other, his life's sacrifice was only for the annointed and it was so cleverly disguised that we didn't pick up on it. I am willing to wager, that disguise won't go away...but the rank and file will THINK they know Jesus. Think about the books we studied about the life of Jesus. We thought we knew something about Jesus and yet the most important aspect was hidden from us and we literally passed over his sacrifice at the memorial.
