why are JW's so obsessed with the fact that one day the "annointed" will be able to fly.........even my grandfather an elder mentioned it to me once...............

Questions about 144,000 and salvation: perseverance and assurance.
by My Struggle inawhile back i was trying to understand how the wtbts understood the salvation of the 144,000. when looking up articles it seemed on the surface to be similar to how many christians view salvation.

The Watchtower and Year 2012
by NomadSoul ini'm curios of what the watchtower society thinks about the year 2012. i think they russell should've used the mayan calendar, and not the pyramids.
