Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"
by tidalblitz inthe other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?

None of the 144k idea is true. When I stand back and look it does not make sence.
I will be interested how they change the understanding of the 144k as more time clicks br
10 years, 20 years.
More "New light" no doubt.
If God was behind this organization all info He gives them would be perfect. It's not, is it...

Think the WBTS monitors this site. Playing copy write music in a public place without concent may be illegal.
Just a thought.

I always felt that some day this would happen.. In 20 years as an elder I have seen so much of the crazy political way Elders and MS were appointed.
At the time however I could not see how messed up it was.
After standing back and looking it is all so clear.
OUT NOW AND DOING GREAT!!!

Need a Game Plan
by bafh ini'm not sure what is going on at the convention, but i just got a desperate call from a friend wanting me to attend sunday's morning session.
last weekend, my mom invited me too.instead of saying something like, "i'm sorry, but i have no intention of going back," and having them completely freak out - i agreed to go to the sunday morning session.
any recommendations?
