anthony morris iii was representing gb in international convention in helsinki, finland.
in his final talk he mentioned that at the fight of armageddon jesus will fight together with the 144 000. he then reminds the audience that one angel destroyed 185000 assyrians.
so what are "144 000 immortal creatures together with jesus going to do".
I know it's all bunkum but where is the scriptural support that the 144,000 do any fighting? Angels yes, but 144,000 specifically? Are the 144,000 viewed in dubland as angels now? And if so will it only be the 144,000? What about all the other "myriads" of angels.
I just hope they don't wear tight pants.
i am approaching 76 years old.
i can clearly recall that awake!
statement and similar during the pre-1975 hype -- "staying alive in '75", et al.
Not that you need my endorsement FatFreek. But I have just checked my original single copy of that Awake (22nd May 1969 page 15) and read the sentence you have quoted word for word.
It is accurate and spot on.

colorado springs -66 year old waymon ivery is re-living a nightmare that happened more than two decades ago.
Excuse my ignorance but how wide would the audience be for that programme? Is it local or what? From my UK point of view it seemed very professional and not afraid to get stuck in.
As mentioned by previous posters - you can go door to door alone but it it is true that a "known child molester" would always be accompanied. But only if the elders knew about it and if the Branch office instructed them to do so.
And only if the "known child molester" cooperated fully.

Dynamite! Now how to get a few of my favourite dubs to watch it?

In the UK it will be busy busy busy.
Less ministry, less trolley cart standing, less (real) pioneering, less people coming into the organisation. The keen elder/MS/pioneers and their wives will be spending much time in Essex and less time on the flock. Good News.
But ... the born-ins will have a focus - something to do for "Jehovah". A bit of a buzz.
It will only last while the project goes ahead and then ... back to an even emptier shell of a religion.

Thank you! You do a brilliant job.
for those of you that asked, below is a copy of my solicitors letter to the elders in my old congregation.
he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.
.
Errr ... your solicitor has written "and" instead of "any" in paragraph 6 line two ... damn spellcheck doesn't pick up alternative but real words!
Unbaptised kids don't have Advance Medical Directives. They have "Identity Cards" expressing the parents' wishes. Your lawyer hasn't specifically said your daughter mustn't have one. Cover those loopholes!
so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.
about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.
i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.
Don't meet with them. If they contact you say you consider yourself admonished. That's it. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do not say another word to them.
If you meet with them and fail to lie through your teeth to them and post anything that can be construed as apostasy - anywhere, anytime - you are toast.
If despite the above you feel compelled to meet to limit damage then be prepared to grovel and suck it up and lie as though your life depended upon it..
i’m a pioneer in city of brotherly love.
(yeah i said my city.
don’t give a fuck) most pioneers who need extra money, get a part gig working as a security guard, barista, or making sandwiches for a few bucks an hour.
Hang on, 30 to 50 bucks a day. A day!!!???
You laugh at menial jobs yet you could make $30 to $50 an hour washing some windows - and you crow about 30 - 50 bucks a day?
Degree in English Literature (at an Ivy League University) + writing pornographic short stories + self righteous girlfriend + pioneering = I don't buy it.
Oh yeah - besides "Quit" for "Quite" - it's "compliment" not "complement" towards the end of paragraph one. With several other grammatical and spelling errors too.

Anyone know how, if and when the UK Charity Commision will "go in"? (As in start investigating our dear brothers and guardians of doctrine up in London Bethel?)
