New Light on the 144,000?

by Ding in

someone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.

1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.

And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. ...These are the ones that did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones that keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as first fruits to God and to the Lamb, and no falsehood was found in their mouths; they are without blemish."

So why don't they just say that the comment regarding 'virgins' is to be taken literally after all. There's been so few of those around, they could delay things for hundreds of years if they felt inclined.

Ladies First

i know a lady who says she feels demeaned if a man walks on the outside or opens a door for her or stands aside to let her pass.

i just think it's good manners.

being a gentleman has nothing to do with equality in my opinion..

OK, so everyone is happy to hold the door open for someone else, regardless of gender.

But who walks on the outside of the footpath when they're with a lady? And if you do, will the lady feel pleased or demeaned?

Clue: I always walk on the outside. And I generally give up my seat for a lady if there's no-where else for her to sit. Plus I always - well nearly always - go to the bar to get the drinks. Isn't that what men do?

I wonder if some honourable males don't simply see a situation where a physically stronger person can show consideration to someone not so strong?

by LoveUniHateExams in

f**kin yeah - get in!!.

spurs came back from 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate to win the second leg against ajax 3-2, going through to the final on away goals.. lucas moura completed his hat-trick and scored the winner in the 5th minute of stoppage time.

well done to the manager and all the players for never giving up.. #coys .

The Champions League is a competition between the 32 best football clubs in Europe. It appears that the two finalists, Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur are both English. Pretty good, eh?

hofstra students in new york have gotten together to rid the campus of a statue of thomas jefferson because he was a racist slave owner.

i’m sure people hate many of the founding fathers because of their histories.

we need to get rid of any reminder of our sordid past.

This could solve the problem..

From Being Slain to Oral Sex

by snugglebunny in

this is a follow-on to my earlier post 'the slain of jehovah'.

so we're sat in a cafe with my old friend of over 40 years, together with his wife.

actually, it's 50 years.

I never quite understood how the WT always equated oral sex with anal sex in their condemnation of "unusual sex practises". FFS..can someone please tell them the difference?
