It really bothers me that Revelation the 7th chapter is taken literally when everything else in Revelation is symbolic! I can no longer agree that only 144,000 literal ones go to heaven. I DO, however, think that it is a symbol denoting that there is a specific group that are called to heaven. I have no desire to go to heaven as I enjoy the earth too much. But I know there are alot of people that have a tremedous desire to be there with their Savior, and they probably will. (I have a brother who is annointed and I can see a big difference in our feelings toward this subject.) To me it is obvious that God wanted the earth to be inhabited as he sure spent an enormous amount of time creating everything on it! (He didn't just wave a magic wand, that's for sure.) I recently heard a minister on TV saying that God created everything in 6 literal 24 hour days...and I think this causes many people to believe that the earth is no big deal. All you have to do is turn your eyes to the heavens and see all the UNINHABITED planets and stars to realize that God did specifically choose this planet to produce life as we know it. Another clue to the amount of work that was involved is that God decided to take a REST and we are still in this period...thousands of years later! Back to the subject...I think it has to do with what your personal desire is, which is motivated by Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ choosing you to that life. I don't feel slighted in the least staying here to hold down the fort. I enjoy animal life immensely, gardening and my fellow human beings. I would like to see an angel with wings, just once...

Book Study Conductor Becomes An Ass
by Corvin inmy daughter has been dating a non-baptized jw boy, 18, we will call him "casey"; she is 17, and he seems to be ok that i am an apostate.
he comes over to the house, spends hours talking to the entire family, including apostate me, and he is truly remarkable in that he cares not what others might say about his association with my daughter and me.
good kid.

I had a very hiper 2 year old that acted out at EVERY meeting! So one night a PIONEER sister came to the back of the hall and was very rude and told me how awful my son was acting. So I prompty handed him to her and told her to take care of him and went and sat down. She never said another word about it!
I can't imagine anyone stopping the meeting and degrading that young man...Why can't they ever learn to ask if they can help, instead of criticizing?

Hey Czar:
I was reading e-watchman's guest book and in it he stated that he hand delivered the letter (sent to all cong) to his personal congregation. I don't think he is trying to keep his identity secret now that he has signed all those letters. However, I do think we owe it to him to let him come out with his own statement, which I'm sure we will soon see posted. I hope that at the very least this will enlighten many more JW's. I, for one, intend to share more info with JW's that I know.
Peace,
Swalker

Hi Wednesday:
My entire family decided not to attend the Memorial at the K.H. for the last several years and we celebrated at home. This year was the nicest I have ever attended in my entire life. We all, about 20 of us, discussed things about Jesus' life that stood out to each one of us and it was so touching. It was great to Participate in the event, unlike the K.H. where you just sit and go through the motions. I could not believe how much better I felt afterwards...I hope you have the same experience.

My blood boiled!
by baysixforme inwhere shall i begin?
i once spent some time living in a womens refuge with my four children escaping from the domestic violence and emotional abuse that my husband deemed to be appropriate to bestow upon us.
apparently he had the blessing of my congregation to do so.

Hi and welcome to the board.
I'm so glad you finally left your abusive relationship. I know you must have gone through a lot of horrible times before you finally did. My cousin left her good JW husband and rented a small apartment for herself and son. Only he found her, shot her lock off the door and went in and proceeded to beat her half to death! It took her a full year to get back on her feet, literally. He wasn't disfellowshipped, the elders figured that she must have done something to set him off...The courts saw it differently and he served 6 years in prison. The entire congregation supported him and she was left to fend for herself. Needless to say she has never stepped a foot back in a Kingdom Hall. She was a very moral, sweet, 98 lb woman and still is...

I agree with czarofmischief...This man Jesus could have stopped the whole proceedings at any time. I'm thankful that he didn't and I feel indebted to him for his willing sacrifice. Even though I was raised as a JW, I just could never put myself in his place by reading the scriptures...This gave me a front row seat and transported me there. It was a very sobering experience for me.
I'm somewhat of a history buff and a lot of people have said that the torture was overdone. However, when you read about how the Romans burned people alive and used them as torches to light their roadways, I don't have any doubts as to the brutal torture that he had to endure. For all you non-believers...Christ gave his life for you whether you accept it or not. (That's meant in a nice way!)
