Are All the Anointed Virgins???

by Sweetp0985 in

since the jw's are always speaking of the 144,000 that are chosen out of the jw organization.

how many are actually anointed as is spoken of here in revelation 14:1-51 and i looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his father's name written in their foreheads.

2 and i heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and i heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

I know for a fact of some of the "ANOINTED" that were married. Did they get married and not have sex with their wife? Or did they remain a "virgin" throughout their life here on earth?

Am I understanding this scripture wrong in verse 4 to be referring to those that according to JW's are the only ones going to heaven? Or is this another display of misinterperting(sp) the bible? Please help me out with this one...

Witnesses on The Move.. More Lies Spoon Fed To The Media

witnesses on the move .

a view of the entrance to the marliemount headquarters of the jehovah's witnesses in jamaica and the cayman islands.

Undaunted I read the article about Prince, as if HE would ever get disfellowshipped... I heard the lyrics to one of his other "goody-goody" songs and was shocked. I guess even if he does slip a word in or two he won't get df'd because of all the publicity about him being a JW. Just like Venus and Serena running around the tennis court carrying the flag...anyone else would have been pulled in somebody's committee room...

Trinity

by XBEHERE in

jw
friends

i still dont believe in the trinity doctrine completely.

lately though i have been reading other translations and listening to ex-jw testimonials online.

granted most of these testimonials are from ex-jw, born again christians.

Sweetp0985

I'm confused about the Trinity also and my scripture I like to use is John 1:1. In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was WITH GOD, and THE WORD WAS A GOD..(as it reads in NWt)..so my question is if THE WORD is supposed to be JESUS...and this scripture is saying he was A GOD...how does this go along with other scriptures that says Jehovah is the ONLY TRUE GOD????

Banned From the Bible

by Sweetp0985 in

i may be late in seeing this special on the history channel, but did anyone else see this show.

it was about books being banned from the bible that further explains events that may or may not have happened the way it is written in the bible.

this show peaked my curiousity and i went to the library and found the book who wrote the bible?

Sweetp0985

NWT where can I find one of those "complete" bibles, I am very interested in seeing what's in it.I probably can find one at a bible/christian store but do I just ask them

do you have any "complete" bibles???

Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God?

by desib77 in

do you believe the bible is the inspired word of god?

have you somehow attempted to prove this to yourself or have you just accepted it?

Sweetp0985

Yeah Bryan I was wondering along those same lines also. No where in the bible does it speak of dinosaurs or cavemen. I don't believe Adam/Eve were cave people but scientific evidence gives proof that they existed, so where do they actually fit into this timelime after adam/eve??? or somewhere before adam/eve???

Strange Exodus - Second Installment

by Frannie Banannie in

july, 1988. .

i had a dream/vision........i call it this because in many instances, the visions related in the scriptures were actually profound dreams that turned out to be prophetic in nature.

i was living in a subsidized government housing project at the time.....and i dreamed one night that i was walking down the sidewalk there from my car in the parking lot to my apartment when suddenly a small black man approached me out of the dark and stabbed me to death....(ie; i was killed by him)....instead of falling to the ground or sidewalk, i looked up to the sky.....i was searching for the lord....i expected him to "meet" me upon my death, you see.....but all i observed were dark clouds all around....clouds and more clouds.....no jesus, as expected.....when i awakened, i was puzzled....the dream had been very profound and i didn?t view it as just a dream....i saw it as predictive of something to come.....my death....but i wondered why i was still alive.....and why didn?t the lord meet me as promised in the scriptures.....somehow i knew that the little "black man" was called israel....and the clouds played an important part, too.....and i knew that the dream was metaphorical in nature......it was both metaphorical and prophetic, as things later turned out.. .

Sweetp0985

Doogie I did pretty much the same things you did

* Got a tattoo

* Tried smoking cigarettes and didn't like the taste, but very seldomly I still might inhale a Black&Mild

* As much sex as possible (That was only for a short while, Imma good girl now)

* Went to a New Year's Eve party and actually got drunk

* Celebrated Christmas....I have all the trimmings even the angel for the top

* Going to church as much as possible...and guess what...I didn't get struck with lightening

* Many other no-no's that I can't remember right now

* I also have donated blood and plasma when short on money

* Watched many many demonic movies such as Scooby-Doo, Star Wars(the force is demonic ya know), all the Child's Play movies(people laughed at me in high school because I had never watch Chucky)

Jehovah blesses his faithful cult members

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

remember when something good would happen to you, and another jw would say, "well, jehovah has surely blessed you!

" when i was on my way out, that really used to piss me off since i knew it was all crap.

no, jehovah didn't bless me by letting me find five bucks on the ground.. my mother told me, long after i left that jehovah must still be blessing me.

Sweetp0985

He's blessed me more since I've been out of the borg then when I was in it. Most recently he blessed me with a new car, being accepted into a major college ONLY 10 years after graduating high school (I know he's the only one that got me in there), and just many other things that every day I have to thank him.

My question to one of the elders recently was how come Jehovah is still blessing me if I'm supposedly so bad and unrepentant and evil and NOT a JW. His answer was God still makes it rain on good and bad. But my thoughts are since JW is the only true religion why does he continue to bless people that are not a JW?

I'm confused. I know some of it may be, but how much has been changed by men that's what causes the confusion.
