  Is 'Jehovah so selfish..."

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all.. just wondering..... jw's state the the reasons for not celebrating birthdays, anniversaries etc is that it takes the focus off jehovah and onto another person/s for that day.. my question: is he so selfish as to not allow each person to celebrate their own special days?.

  also, does the wtbs allow anything that is remotely considered 'fun' to be celebrated?

  (other than assemblies, meetings etc, like they were ever fun!

  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 (?

  ok, here's a hypothetical that i'm curious about.. what if armageddon really did happen?

  not necessarily according to jw terms or timetable, but at some point it happens in your lifetime.

  would any of you return to the jws?.
