In the book Preparation (1932) Rutherford presented this interpretation in detail. (Pages 22, 45, 46, 78, 157, 164-166) The two groups, the pre-1919 and post-1919 converts, together constituted the Remnant of the 144,000.

New CO talk: Be loyal to Org. even if you get weird instructions or can prove them wrong doctrinally!
by sir82 intheme was something about "loyalty to jehovah's visible organization".. i have neither the time nor inclination to summarize the whole thing, but a few points stood out:.
even if it causes you personal hardship.
example: joshua & caleb returned from spy trip to promised land with good report, but were "outvoted" by the other 10 spies.

> But soon after breaking away, they "faded and came to nothing."
Citation needed.
The WTS loves to make comments like that without actually providing examples. What exactly does it mean to "come to nothing"?

No more ordering X amount of Watchtowers per publisher at the book room.
by truthseekeriam ini was listening in last night and heard a special letter being read.. the speaker was so excited reading it.
it basically said that from now on they will leave a stack of watchtowers on the counter at the kh and each publisher should take what they need for the week and bring back the ones they didn't use.
if they run out they should use their old copies they have at home.... effective immediately.. .

I guess they finally figured out that most JWs keep a MASSIVE pile of Watchtower and Awake! magazines at home.
Too many ordered... hardly any every placed... so they just pile up and end up being thrown in the trash.

Only Baptised JW's make it through Armageddon
by ForbiddenFruit ini remember the day that i first found out about this teaching.
it was during a co's visit, he got up on the platform, and made it absolutely clear that the only way to get into paradise was to be a baptised jw (he had a letter from the borg saying this).
i was confused by this, and the next day i was set to work with him in the ministry.

Initial Analysis Of The Times Square Bombing Attempt
by leavingwt ininitial analysis of the times square bombing attempt.
and so it is with target new york.
it is entirely possible, nay likely, that the recent times square car bomb was placed at the doorstep of the viacom building's main northeast entrance because of the south park controversy.

> How does a naturalized citizen from Pakistan who has attended terrorist training camps walk right through airport security and onto a plane in the year 2010?
Simple: All of the "security measures" put into place since 9/11 are an empty facade.
I challenge anyone to point out any terrorist act that was prevented as a result of the security you see at an airport.

When dealing with a Christian murdering for religious reasons, the headline never says: "Christian murder shocks Argentina"

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
by thetrueone intop ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian.
1 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .
2 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

Awesome!
Oh... and Talking Snakes that walk upright and eat dirt sounds perfectly reasonable.
