  Scripture that says something like in heaven you are neither male or female?

  by Bambie in

  it's been many years since i thought about this, but recently a friend and i were talking and i briefly mentioned that in the bible it says that in heaven (or at least, those resurrected to heaven) are neither male or female.

  i don't own a nwt or any bible anymore, so can someone look in a concordance and find that scripture for me?

  i'd really appreciate it.. and please, if i remember this jw belief incorrectly, please set me straight..

  So from the scripture in Matt 22:30 does that mean that the angels are neither male or female?

  Does God speak directly to GB today?

  it's been 15 years since i was df'd, but i seem to recall as a jw that the belief was that the only human after adam that jehovah spoke directly to was jesus.. my question has to do with what the org.

  teaches regarding modern day communication with jehovah.

  it was my understand when i was a jw, that the gb does not say that jehovah speaks directly to them.

  JWBen--

  As we beleive the whole Bible is inspired of God and beneficial fro teaching and setting things straight, then by keeping to the Bible we are being directed by holy spirit.

  If what you say is true, then all of us can read the Bible, follow it's teaching as we understand them, and be directed by holy spirit.

  Wow. I have to say I'm amazed at the response to this question. Thank you everyone. It's pretty much what I thought except I said inspired whereas it looks like they claim to be spirit-directed. Ah.... the subtlties of the wtbts.

  I don't have the patience to read their literature anymore so I really appreciate the ones of you that do and keep us up on all the BS.

  Sometimes when I do have conversations with other x-jws and we disagree on what the org. taught, I get frustrated because I was one of those "zealous" jw. I was in no way a flakey jw. So I feel pretty sure about my knowledge of what they used to teach. Although in the last 15 years anything could have changed. I just learned today of the flipflop on the voting issue. Which I have to say is such a doosie of a flip that I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before.

  Anyway, thanks everyone, esp. oldsoul for all the information.

  It's been 15 years since I was DF'd, but I seem to recall as a jw that the belief was that the only human after Adam that Jehovah spoke directly to was Jesus.

  My question has to do with what the org. teaches regarding modern day communication with Jehovah. It was my understand when I was a jw, that the GB does not say that Jehovah speaks directly to them. Rather that Jehovah "inspires" them and that they are being used as the "faithful and discreet slave" to feed the masses of "the great crowd."

  Has their teaching on this changed in the last 15 years? Do they now claim that Jehovah speaks to them directly?
