does anyone know the official jw spin on revelation 19:1 which says: .
rev 19:1- after these things i heard what was as a loud voice of a great crowd in heaven.
this plainly identifies the great crowd being in heaven.
I guess the great crowd are the 144000.
Seriously I'm sure it's in th revelation book but I don't have one. They probably say something about it being symbolic, yeah that it. Everything else will be literal and we will make this part symbolic. That sounds like just their style.
i read this forum alot.
though i don't post very often, i thought i would share the following thoughts.
my mother is 70, and lives alone (my parents separated and divorced about 23 years ago).
Halfway, I totally understand you wanting to tell her the truth about the WTS. I couldn't hold my tongue either and now my mom is not talking to me. sighs. Was it worth it to prove a point. No, I knew she would take it there.
i love the idenity theft commercial with thelma and norma.
sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

a full fledged ms in the borg in south florida usa!

Don't they realize those that left because of it , are not coming
Good point, but seeing as they keep using the same old "new light " they are in utter darkness, not knowing that the light has went out.
i told my wife i wanted to grow out my beard a little longer.
she said that was fine with her.
then i mentioned i was thinking of letting it get as long as zz top's beards.
lol - your a mess!
i know we always think and talk about how when we left the witnesses, we felt burned out on organized religion as a whole.
we felt it was caused by our time as witnesses, and the burn out we felt from knowing so much about other religions and our "suppose" knowledge on the bible.
here is the thing, since leaving the witnesses and talking to people who have never spent any time in the witness religion.
Yes
In fact when me and my husband talk about religion and he thinks it a big joke. He acknowledges a higher being but is unsure if current methods of spreading faith in him/her are the proper channel. Also coworkers have mentioned it too. But now that I think about it didn't we have a tract or brochure aaddressing everyone's dissatisfication with religion in general? Or was that conversation starter for field service?

LOL. No it didn't! lol
And I already told you I would tell him No. I guess I must got some good stuff (wink) because I know that if I told him not to do it, he wouldn't. It would not be a turn on for me. And yes I'd tell him no.

Nooooo. lol. I just thought after seeing your face it wouldn't look so bad. Oh never mind I got a feeling I can't win this one. lol
i was wondering about this, as fantasy football leagues are becoming big this time of year.
i have people i work with who live by these things, and even spend their entire breaks tracking information or text messaging friends to make changes.
it is not always about gambling, but often it is and in any case it takes a lot of time to work it.
I haven't talked with anyone about this, but my answer would be NO, it's not okay. They might start to have too much in common with "worldly" folks and something other than religion to talk about. I guess they could do it amongst themselves, but I could see this opening up a conversation with a worldly person who sees them send texts and making phone calls to their witness friends. Then a conversation between the two individual (JW & Worldly) would start. Next thing you know they are bonding and....BAD association spoils useful habits.
When it came to sports in general I remember them saying to be careful with being to involve in them. I don't remember any young witness boys getting together to play football or basket ball on regular basis The few times I did recall, it didn't seem to last long.

Just to clarify, I was not saying your mom shouldn't attend your wedding, only that I wouldn't bother her about the lies and deceit of the WTS unless she is asking. Which from what I read did not seem to be the case.
