Why didn't Abraham suspect it was Satan telling him to kill Isaac?

haven't we all heard of those who've killed others -- even their own children -- after (they claimed) hearing a voice telling them to do so?

most people would consider these ones to have been insane if they really thought they'd heard such things.

on the other hand, some jws, i would suspect, would think that these murderers may actually have heard demonic voices.

brother, it seems absurd to be hammering pith like a poet with a loss for words.

Have You Ever Heard This Explanation Why 144,000 is a Literal Number?
by Had Enough in
1. jw
2. friends
the speaker said tonight (yes i went to the memorial to appease my worried family .

well he said its very simple....the scripture talks about the lamb and the 144,000. it doesn't say lambs as in more than one....no, it says lamb referring to the "literal number of one lamb".. so thats how we know that the 144,000 is a literal number and not symbolic like all the rest of revelation.. ok....now am i going bonkers...or has anyone else every heard that explanation before?

i know i never have and that doesn't make any sense to me at all.. had enough

Should We Form A Committee?
by Englishman in
1. forum
2. suggestions
dansk recently asked us to write and protest about the erection of a kh in bury, lancashire.. many of us did just that and the newspaper concerened emailed most of us asking for permission to publish our comments in it's weekly issue.. it was also suggested that maybe we could also write to df'ing committees to protest at their actions.. so, we're wondering, should we form some sort of committee to co-ordinate operations such as this on an ongoing basis?.

if we did that, who would be interested in playing an active part?.

any suggestions as to how such an operation should be run?.

my sister, who is still in, has just recently graduated from college (four year university) with a good degree and has landed a great job.

its likely that she will never meet a jw man who is completely compatible with her, as she is educated, smart, and makes more money than about half her cong.

combined.
