ok, help me out: i think this is an outright fabrication, but i know that the wt will have some lame quote to back it up.. in the material for the bookstudy this week, they say this:.
"in 1923, jehovah's servants discerned that "the sheep" of jesus' parable found at matt 25:31-36 and the "other sheep" to which he referred as recorded at john 10:16 are people who would have the opportunity to live forever on earth.".
no way, not unless i have been lied to all my life.
Now I have a headache - I'm not sure a ' class ' system is particularly useful to the Christian faith.
Maybe the "other sheep not of this fold" could refer to people of righteous intent who are born into other religious groups and never find extraction?
I'm not saying it's a fact, a possibility maybe?
dubs always point back to genisis as a last resort and say ....well he created them to live forever, it was his original purpose.. where does it say that?.
genisis says that they were to multiply and fill the earth not that they would live forever.
if they were to live forever what was the tree of life for?.

at first glance, jehovah's witnesses seem to be the model of religious democracy.. [...] .
however, in reality the watchtower society is an absolute autocracy.
all authority is vested in the governing body, including the authority to understand and teach the bible.. [...] .
In light of the passages quoted DrWtsn32 do you believe that the WTBS can be useful for certain individuals who lack control and moral restraint within their lives?
Are you attacking individual witnesses or simply having a poke at the pyramid structure of the organisation?
I would like to think that an individual JW has the sense to reason for themselves and rise above the restrictions placed upon them not to look at so-called 'apostate' material. Afterall, if it is the ' truth ', it should easily stand before any criticism against the central doctrine.
i'm curious about which is the healthier choice: satanism or jehovahs witnesses?
it seems to me that you hear alot less about satanists having problems, than you do witnesses!
For anyone who is dismissing Satanism, have you actually read anything about it?
Yes - http://www.dpjs.co.uk/
Take a look at the ' The Sigil of the Baphomet ' does it promote a feeling of light within you or a feeling of darkness?
Remember as a Satanist, if somebody crosses you, utterly destroy them. What a lovely ideal to promote.
Use your common sense and gut instincts when viewing this material.
I was also interested to read about so-called ' true ' Satanists a while ago and found some of their ideas bore a similarity to my own. Not surprising that a dark doctrine should lace excrement with fine teachings. The easiest way to catch a fish is to give something appealing as bait. Once hooked, the fish is knocked senseless and consumed.

A ' true ' Christian is hemmed in at every side, therefore it makes this life very awkward indeed. I have respect for any man or woman who attempts to apply the Christian code in this vile world.
The broad road is way easier. I trod that route for years myself, getting into all sorts of trouble, yet enjoying the vibe at the same time and having few restless nights.
But then, the gospels tell us that to get through the narrow gate is a struggle.
Satanists do not really know their God IMO anyway. I used to tell others I was a Satanist about 20 years ago, starting to practise the occult and involving myself in isolated rituals. All I gained in life was a shadow over my mind.

Oxygen is extremely corrosive and its free radicals supposedly cause more damage to our DNA than anything else.
That is not an ' absolute ' fact fortunately.
How often does the science fraternity make exaggerated claims based upon their own world view? As often I suggest, as a Christian claims faith in literalism of Bible texts.
