if god can read our hearts, why does he need an additional 144,000 creatures in heaven along with the already existing myriads of angels, to assist jesus in separating the sheep from the goats?
is there any scriptural answer for this that you know of?.
I would like to say that nowhere in Revelation is it stated that the 144K are in Heaven.
That is a WT construct.
Many more mainstream eschatologists (than the JWs) think this Revelation 144K is a symbolic representation of christian martyrs.
With revelation - really - who knows?
Like Sylvia says - it really is a leap to claim this means that ONLY 144K go to heaven.
in a prayer yesterday, the chairman said, "thank you so much, jehovah, for your watchtower.
it is such a wonderful gift that you have given us.".
i thought it was very telling.
Wonder why Jehovah made mankind wait for about 1,900 years before producting it?
the jc gave me 7 days to appeal, ...well, i am not going to waste my energy trying to win a loosing battle.....or(wait aminute), i can play difficult and strech them to their limit..
Let us know if the congregation gives a standing ovation when they read your DF letter...
the jc gave me 7 days to appeal, ...well, i am not going to waste my energy trying to win a loosing battle.....or(wait aminute), i can play difficult and strech them to their limit..
and bring attention to themselves.
I cant remember a single one that didn't.

Because you'd rather believe the 'Imperialists'/Americans on this forum, who bash me day and night here.
The Americans are not the only ones here...who do that...
ok, not really, but i had to much to do on thursday to post.
so who are you picking?.
i am glad to see my 49ers back in contention, though i believe that seattle will give them a run for their money.. my superbowl picks?
Jerry Jones is ruining the Cowboys IMO. He had a great thing going with Jimmy Johnson, and he forced him out the door because he's an egomaniac who wanted all the credit for what Johnson had built. He wanted a puppet like Phillips, that he could control, and now Cowboys fans are suffering for it. Not that I'm complaining.
There are a lot of people like me who live in Dallas who are still upset about Jimmy Johnson, and the treatment of Tom Landry before that. A lot of the success (not all, but a lot of it) in the early 90s was due to the Landry rebuilding effort before Jones came in. Jimmy Johnson had a good team to coach and did a good job, but some of the foundation came from the last days of Landry. Barry Switzer milked one more good season out of it, but the rest has been a steady downhill decline.
My stepson works for the Cowboys, so I guess I had better stop criticizing Jerry with that.

I do. He goes by the name of Wade Phillips.
And he owes his job to Mr. Jerry Jones.
doesn't that sound suss to you?.

I'm liking Austin. I liked him last year... and I loved watching Choice. That kid is good.
Choice is good, yes. Austin is also good, and Romo connects well with him. Is it enough? I am not ready to call it yet -
