  New Light on the 144,000?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?.

  JW cars.

  by zeb in

  for some reason former jw friends came to mind and i thought of their car how it was a mess of clothes, squashed food and other grunge.

  they had adult kids who could have cleaned it once a while.. others had vehicles that never saw a spanner and another which rode the highways on bald tyres.. hmm a bit too spiritually minded perhaps?.

  is auto neglect common out there?.

  i once sold a mini to an elder--a cheap runabout. some time later he was prosecuted for using it with 3 bald tyres. he still kept his elder badge though.

  2. experiences

  i do bible study and attend meetings.

  ”well i was away and i was going to attend in that city”.

  i did everything right, i told my bible study conductors in advance and genuinely i wanted to see another hall.

  ive missed every meeting for the last 39 years. however--i could still be a bible student if i felt the need.

  its simple--and you dont need the watchtower society to show you how to do it.

  all you do is--pick up a bible--and look at it. thats called studying the bible. you may even get the urge to open it and start reading it--thats what i did. i got as far as the talking snake---and then tossed it.

  "however, i say to you that everyone divorcing his wife , except on the grounds of fornication makes her a subject for adultery...etc" .

  new nwt:.

  a monk joins an abbey ready to dedicate his life to copying ancient books by hand.

  after the first day though, he reports to the head priest.

  he's concerned that all the monks have been copying from copies made from still more copies.

  Why doesn't the Watchtower Society never study the Bible cover to cover?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the 40 years as a jehovah's witness, i never read the bible cover to cover.

  the three meetings a week were broken up with book studies, awake and watchtower magazines,and ministry& field service meetings, all written by the watchtower society.

  never did we read any chapters from genesis to revelation and discuss the true meaning of what we just read.
