  Why the number of "anointed" will never decrease...

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw theology suggests that the work of gathering in the "144,000" has all but ended , particularly since 1935 , and that the number will inevitably diminish to nil.

  indeed , some jws maintain that all the anointed will have died and resurrected before armageddon arrives.

  the watchtower claims that the fact (?

  Hey jwfacts.....if you went back? I get the point though. It would be the only way. Who can question it? There was a sister who claimed to be of the annointed that I remember. NO BODY believed her. She was so badly hurt by the whole denial thing that she fell away. I guess for everyone else that proved that she wasn't. She died sometime later. She is probably laughing at the all now!

  a long-serving member of the jehovah's witness church has been jailed for sexual offences he committed against two young brothers more than 30 years ago.

  rex peterson, now 69, was brought into brisbane district court in a wheelchair for his sentencing yesterday because of multiple debilitating medical conditions.

  A friend asks about this person: Can you provide any further background information? Was he or had he ever served as an elder? Pioneer? Was he on the convention programs? With his expertise he was probably in with the CO and DO is that a correct assumption? Do you know any more about the victims? Were there any other children? Just some thoughts in thinking about this. Please PM's only...........read the posting rules.

  i just posted this on another thread and decided to post my own thread about it.. a few posters here that know me personally know about my amazing wife.

  i had a very hard time accepting what i have learned about her.

  she has a gift she has kept from the world until she was in her 30's.

  Hi, I am fascinated about this gift...it is a gift. It does sound like an episode of the show "Medium" Alison DuBois. Have read her two books and it is something that happens. I have met a couple of people who have the gift. Can your wife hone in on what may happen to others if they ask her? I dont put much creed in the wt explaination. Does/did anyone else in her family have the ability, it tends to be handed down and stays with families?

  PopeofEruke:I believe he had JW's visit him from all over Australia for his naturopathic stuff. Stephanus: And people find my distaste for hippies irrational! So Naturopaths are hippies? Or are Naturopaths pedophiles? Be clear now..........

  does anyone who was raised a jw and is now df'd of da'd celebrate all the holidays?

  i do, and for the first time in my entire life i'm actually having a blast and so are my children.

  So I think that I have it.......should I yell out to anyone who approaches that they should stay clear of me? No matter how much antidote I consume, I still keep breaking out with it!!

  Birthdays and Disfellowshipping

  by geevee in

  i am trying to find any substance to the idea that if you had a birthday celerbration as a jw you could be disfellowshipped?

  i have a word document that i made before i handed in my elders book and i have the 2005 wt cd from reexamine.

  the elders book on around page 91-94 or 5 lists a heap of things that you could be disfellowshipped for, but celebrating birthdays are not one of them.

  Hi all and thanks for the replies. Consensus is you cant be DFed, but maybe marked? So here's the thing. We havent gone for a year and a half....obviously immature christians!! and we were asked if we celebrated one son's birthday, to which I replied "it's no bodies business as to whether we did or didn't, infact you'd be hard pressed to show me the scripture where it says you cant celebrate". So, you know how it is, you prepare your mind for a huge battle, just incase they come back for more! Hope they dont, but you are better to be ready for it, than not. Although it is a no win argument, say too much against the JW stand and you are done for anyway.

The elders book on around page 91-94 or 5 lists a heap of things that you could be disfellowshipped for, but celebrating birthdays are not one of them. There is a section on celebrating false religious holidays, but it does not say birthday. A 98 watchtower QFR mentioned that "mature" christians would not celebrate birthdays, but what about the immature? Any current elders care to comment, or recently ex elders? There maybe updated directions or something?
