  <div>Who here has challenged the witnesses with this doctrine?
  
  Have you asked why the number is literal yet everything else is symbolic? I'd like to know how the witnesses explain this.

  You've got it all wrong Sandy.

  If you are going to bring this subject up, lets get it right. OK???

  It is not "the 144,000. That is not correct!!

  It is the one hundred AND forth four thousand.

  Or so I was once counseled by an elder, after I had given a talk.

  I guess I was stumbling the congregation.
