Have they ever acknowledged that some in the first and subsequent centuries were of the great crowd? Otherwise their numbers wont add up.
No, they think that most of the Christians over the past 2000 years have not been true ones. (have to find the reference).

Then Terra apologizes to Terry for his ad hominem attack

Terry, apologize to Sammie, or you get a JWN spanking.

I agree with OnTheWayOuts observation. Only because this was nearly the exact same answer I received when I brought this up!
Hmmm... interesting. Didn't realize this was already the general concencus already. Oh well, so much for my new light...

Until the number climbs over 100,000 anyway....
True. That would call for some new light. Or a series of study articles pressuring people not to partake because they're probably not really annointed
i just learned of this new book at the free minds store.
i purchased a copy and i'm enjoying it.. .

@Terra Incognito: Like you Terry, who in your first response to me, called me silly and fatous. Hypocrite.
Ad Hominem.
Terry, makes a mistake. Terry will hopefully apologize.

@NomadSoul: I just think some of you get too sensitive. I can understand that from the ladies, but from you guys? Come on, really? REALLY? REAAAAAAAAAALLLLY?
This is not about sensitivity (Red Herring). This is about productive debate. Telling people to F* off and insulting them does nopt prove a point, though it does point to the fact that you likely don't have a strong enough argument, so you have to resort to personal attacks.
have you heard the good news?.
i heard from a reliable source that for the first time in watchtower history, there are more elders now than ministerial servants.
this is not just a regional issue either, it's worldwide..
In my circuit assembly this year, they annouced the statistics of the circuit, and there were more MS's than elders.
This especially accelerated after the governing body anounced a push for younger elder appointments.
It does not necessarily mean there are less men reaching out (one would need to look at the total of MS + elders and the growth trend over time). It seems now that all the "spiritual" men reaching out are going to spend just a few years in M.S. state before coming elders. The rest who have something of concern (not enough field service, bad attitude) will probably stay M.S's.
