Danger found on JWD!!!...........
by oompa inyeah i know....so i like "introductions that arouse interests" on my subject lines!
but the danger is at the end of this post, not the beginning.
this is actually a very serious thread for oompa... and not my first, but i apologize in advance for it being the longest i have ever posted.

that is a heck of a name you have and now have to look that up!!
On my very first post Crumpet asked me, so just look at the second one.
We both learnt something ; I fist thought of Talkative but found it not very kind, so I looked up in the thesaurus of the french-english Robert & Collins dictionary and found that Effusive, IM foreigner's opinion, carries the emotion that your post embodies. Best wishes for managing your family situation. Fortunately for us, both my wife and I keep the nosy ones in the congregation at bay... and the latter does it back in kind.

Oh yes, indeed, I stopped smoking 33 years ago while "studying" with a JW. Hadn't I done that, I might be dead by now. Side effect but anyway, Thanks WTS, I enjoy every day of life, even though you're not central anymore in my concerns...

What are your chances of getting your hand taken next week?
In fact they are not small because :
- they are short of Commentators
- they are all too happy to see me commenting again after I remained silent for about a year
-Some elders want to see how far I go in apostate comments. I try to always remain within the boundaries of what I can justify with scriptures.

This is clearly a not so subtle effort to GUILT the flock into the same menatlly, emotionally, phyisically and spiritually UNHEALTHY exertion of their time and energy
Quite obvious, ATJ. As I've broken my spectacles, I couldn't read the article and I remained listening and thinking during the WT study. What came to my mind as glaring evidence, and I told it in a comment, was the fact that the standard which is set out in the NT is incredibly high because it is meant exclusively for people who were (are) ready to give up every physical enjoyment to gain a disembodied heavenly life. So, the role models for the "other sheep" is to be found not in the NT but in the OT, with people like Abraham who lead a more balanced and normal life. Needless to say, my comment was stongly criticized by some elders who found that it was much too demotivating to the R&F.

But the 144,000, receive immortality starting with 1918 by resurrection and than instantly upon death. So how more perfect are they than the non-anointed who take 1,000 years to qualify?
Even within the anointed population there are different treatments, as we can see in the jan 1st 2007 WT Question from readers article which deals with the (so called) initial and final sealing of the anointed ones. The WTS has contrived these notions whereby the anointed people in the past got an initial sealing from the Holy Spirit at some stage in their life and, afterward, got a final sealing just before their death, after they had successfully gone over plenty of trials. Now, we find in the QFR article that the remaining remnant, i.e. those who will still be on earth to see the GT, are treated much more softly since they will get their definitive sealing BEFORE the beginning of the GT that is, before they will have undergone any serious trial.
It looks as if these members of the remaining remnant, in the system they have set up, try to secure for themselves a snug salvation and heavenly reward without experiencing much trouble, whereas anointed JWs in past times were required, if necessary, to give away their lifes to prove their faithfulness. One can't but be puzzled by such a discrimination within the JW theological construction.
