Wow, that is provably the most concise and valuable reference to this topic on the web. Thank you. Are you an "official" exegetical scholar or do you just do this for fun?
Also, do you have a suggestion as to an accurate, affordable interlinear translation of the entire bible... perhaps with comments included?

144,000... and 1?
by DoomVoyager ini was looking at the study articles in the october 1, 1975 washtowel (it is referenced in this weeks study washtowel) and they make several references to the "144,001 members of the heavenly class".
i'll assume the extra 1 is jesus.
when did they stop using the number 144,001?

Thanks for that Leoliaia, I am saving it on my hard drive for future reference. tastyrerun: I was aware of the difference between Old Judaic "the satan" and later Judaic "Satan". In Old Judaic texts YWHW was the source of both good and evil; later on YWHW became solely good, and evil originated with Satan. I can't provide proof texts as I just got a new job and am pretty busy but I will still be following this topic.

dummy: if I was having a near death experience and watching my body from outside, I think the last thing I'd notice is some picture stuffed on a shelf somewhere.

Wow, this looks interesting. I'd also like to see "Dwelling Together in Unity", which purports to be a book for new Bethelites. Anyone have that?

Yeah, and WTwizard doesn't even begin to cover it.
Basically, Jehovah of the Old Testament inspired his people to wage genocidal warfare against all neighbouring tribes, killing the men, women, children, and farm animals, and he provided supernatural support for them to do so. The book of Joshua is a great one. "He did not let a survivor remain, and everything that breathed he devoted to destruction, just as Jehovah the God of Isreal had commanded." Yahwah/Jehovah is pretty much an inverted Hitler.
