the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.
Hi tidalblitz,
Another thing that always got me about the whole 144k is they only get judged once.
If they remain faithful till death they recieve their prestiges kingly and priestly reward.
Where as the great crowd are judged twice to recieve their humble earthly servant reward.
They are judged once by remaing faithful till death or by surviving armaggedon,
and then a second time after the conclusion of the 1k year rule.
it's amazing to examine the watchtower of 1914 now in 2014... 100 years later.. .
here are some of my comments on the watchtower of 1914:.
second article in january 1st.
100 years ago today, Charlie got the proof that he founded the one true religion.

so two college aged young persons came to my door, the girl did all the talking.
i immediately researched their literature and found that they are in a cult originated out of south korea (what's with koreans and cults lol??).
Funny how cults are always trying to recruit new people.
recruit, recruit, recruit !!!
Sorry I meant.
Advertise, Advertise, Advertise !!!
if someone has done this before , i apologise but this was new to me.....struck me as strange that nowadays, the answers to life's problems are found on the internet .
.
.
to my total astonishment, there is no mention whatsoever in the scriptures re jehovah's creative days being each of 7000 years duration.. nothing!.
zilch!.
...and yet the wt had this to say:.
Depending on how far you look into the sky from earth, the heavens are still being created from our perspective.
Does that make sense?

i was an elder in prescott for many years... anyone now out from there?
.
I'm not from Prescott but will be there in July.
Any good insider things to relate?
this article is sickening, not a single word about love towards others, care for the needy or any kind act.
but since i worked 72 hours each week in a hotel restaurant, i first had to make some changes.. i asked my boss whether he would allow me to work 60 hours instead.
i next asked to be allowed to work only 36 hours per week, or 6 hours on 6 days, and that request was also granted.
What a differance in boasting compared to Pauls reluctant boasting. (1Cor. 11:5 - 1Cor. 12:13)
Good Lawd, I wouldn't want to be a governing body when it comes time to meet your maker!
when jws come around with their articles asking "is god cruel?
", i often point them to genesis 22:2:.
2 then god said, take your son, your only son, whom you loveisaacand go to the region of moriah.
The reason God tested Abraham was to show us what not to do.
Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord
your God to the test.'"
It was a common belief at the time that the gods wanted child sacrifices,
by having their god intervene the story showed the Jews that their god didn't approve of this act and they weren't to follow that ritual.
God also sacrificed his son to show us what not to do.
i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.
couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.
i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.
According to the JW's 2 wrongs make a right.
Adam's sin + the killing of Jesus = Forgiveness and redemption for man.
I never could quite resolve that picture of Jesus and Adam on scales equaling out to justice to God.
I forget what pub. that was in.
did you have some green beer?
maybe some scotch whiskey?
i also baked a chocolate cake and chocolate icing, and put little green spice mints on top.
You must really dislike Oktoberfest and the beer drinking that encourages.
Those darn drunken Germans, sheesh!!
Whatever, chill out.
