  Why don't we ask Larsinger. He claims to be the Christ after all.

  This major doctrine, so idiosyncratic to the JWs, results from an eisegesis methodology which imposes a conceptual frame onto a text rather than discovering from the context what concepts are expressed therein. A little reflection can show how eisegesis is the usual approach taken by the WTS in interpreting Revelation.

  Hmmm, sounds like an intellectual way of saying, "Rutherford made the sh#t up to account for the number of his flock exceeding 144,000 and imposed that on the text rather than reading the text in context."

  Thanks, just as I thought. That brother had no idea what he was talking about. Just the usual witness spiel about who has the heavenly hope and who does not.

  The brother giving the talk said that out of 19 million who attended last year, only less that 9000 partook. I thought that number was over 10,000 now.

  I wonder too if they will caution against partaking in case someone in the audience is contemplating it. I had a dream about that where I was outraged and spoke out in the hall, pissing off my wife.

  Telling people that they cannot partake? Kind of crossed the line with me.

  We'll see...

  Why Did Jesus Address His Apostles As A Little Flock?

  by wannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  " [luke 12:32].

  "[ephesians 2:19-22] so, from that we see, that it was only the twelve apostles that jesus referred to as a little flock, as it says about other members of the heavenly calling; 'you too have been built upon the foundation of the apostles, and prophets... together into a place for god to inhabit by spirit.

  ' [luke 22:28-30].

  Augh, copy and paste. If I wanted to read the something from the WT, I would've just looked at the books and mags my wife has. Why do I have to see that here?

  I find that I never get more than a bunch of Watchtower double speak and slight of hand when I ask pointed questions to witnesses (including my wife when she is in cult mode). I've learned that people just want their religion and their associations. To hell with facts.

  I guess you can lump Babylon the Great in with the false teachers. By their reasoning, I am sure you can lump those human apostates in that category as well.

  Bunker mentality.

  I imagine my wife will remember some parts of it. If the Noo Lite GB = FDS is brought out, she will miss it, and she will get a wee bit zealous for a little bit. But it will fade and she will return to her old self.
