the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.
" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.
BTW- Thanks for a SERIUOS conversation1
1-Yes but we- and MANY others have made that mistake- as the APOSTLES did in that reference!
2-Don't YOU think these are the last days- and feel the signs are there?
3-Because Hebrew is not the language in this couintry.
4- The SAME WAY HE LEFT- was unseen; he was lifted up, then HIDDEN BY THE CLOUD; that is why churchoids think he went to heaven as a zombie (Bloodless corpse, heh)

1- The Bible says to keep the Day CLOSE in mind
2-Jesus gave SIGNS to LOOK for; we feel they are here
3- Because the Name "Jehovah" is the ENGLISH version, despite it's origin.
4- Only SOME of his followers were present and a cloud IMMEDIATELY hid him from sight; THAT is how he has (or will) return; remember "parasouia"?
are there pretenders in our brotherhood- as in all religion- that do what is evil?.
yes.. have we made stupid guesses about some of the prophecies, as all churches do?.
yes.. does our "organization" make mistakes- as, you guessed it, all do?.

Yes, well said, in true deceptive character. Running for office?
just about all of them; far too many to post!.
Back to topic: they say we have 'immortal' souls- that we never die (just our body, heh)- the endless scriptures showing the dead being resurrected and judged at a future time, are, of course ignored...

BD obviously has a serious problem TRYING to think; he lies freely, then condems others who don't cower from him and his piglet buddies.

paragraph 15.. .
sadly, though, some have become casual or even cynical about reminders concerning the need to stay awake.
This is true: I asked the Elders if they REALLY believe Jesus appointed them in 1919 (gimme a BREAK!) and if Jesus was teaching the crowds about a small group in NY! (They dodn't answer)
