Can someone of the 144,000 get kicked out after entering heaven ???
by The_Replacement in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so, if someone is of the 144,000, dies, and supposedly goes to heaven, is it still possible for them to be misled, or kicked out, thus needing another replacement.

if the answer is yes, i guess the 144,000 will never be completed, in fact eventually they will have 144,000 replacements, then 144,000 replacements replacing the replacements, doh !

During the assembly did you ever notice ... ???
by The_Replacement in
1. watchtower
2. bible
growing up as a kid in the 70's (and early 80's), did you ever notice at the assembly that there was always someone who had a tape recorder on stage and was taping the whole assembly.

are these tapes around today, generally i would love to hear some talks that were given before 1975 and see how many brothers said something big was going to happen, because we all know the watchtower never said that !!!

(yeah right).. any websites that might have a few of these or other interesting topics ???.

Anointed "Remnent" projections
by Elsewhere in

a person who cannot reveal his/her identity has asked that i post this research regarding how long it is taking for the "remnent" to die before armageddon comes.. ====.

a recent jwd posting (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/110850/1.ashx) got me playing with remnant figures in excel.

the results are obvious, and frankly not surprising.

A question on " 1975 "
by The in

2. friends
i was reading some of the first " topics " on this db and i noticed that a few former elders and publishers .

were stumbled by this date.... i was born after 1975 and i'd really appreciate any comments from brothers and sisters who were around .

what i've noticed from personal experience is that many brothers and sisters feel that only " a few " were stumbeled .

i had a nice conversation with an elder recently and it illustrates why reform of the organization is nearly impossible.

is very aware of how bad things are becoming in congregations and he worries about his retirement.
