Up to the care of the children, or the state? Hold the eff on just one effing second! I thought you guys were a spiritual family? and that is more important than blood ties. What if you so lovingly disfellowshipped an elderly sisters family and she obediently cut off ties with them. Then what? Are you suggsting that she go groveling back to them and asking for their forgiveness, and to please take care of her? Or let's even go further with just "worldly" relatives. Elderly sister doesn't come to family gatherings, wedings etc. etc. etc., because going out in service and prerparing for the meetings are a "more appropriate use of her time", but now the Society expects them to financially provide for her because she didn't prepare for such circumstances due to the fact she was constantly told the end is right around the corner? Give me an effing break. This is a problem caused by the loving "Mother". Any "Godly Organization" worth it's salt should take care of these poor souls they've done nothing to but taken from their entire lives. And to suggest that Satan's earthly rulers should take care of God's people, that it's somehow the Devil's responsibility over "God's earthly organization". The fucking nerve of you people. Seriously?!

Eh... I like holding books, making notes etc. etc. in my research. The internet is great for researching certain aspects, but for a base I prefer the written word on paper. Thanks though. Just out of curiousity what do you consider your theology. How is it different from preterism? It seems you hold many of the same beliefs.

Don't cherry pick
I'm not cherrypicking. I'm saying that in larger cities with large homeless populations, in my experience, witnessing to the homeless was part of the preaching work. It wasn't a matter of just "sure, some will".

"Maybe these type of people never get the chance to be jws because they are not on a territory map (homeless) and let's face it, jws are judgemental. Who's going to "witness" to the wino in the park, people living on the fringes of society."
I disagree here. We lived in various cities throughout the US and my family, and others in the congregations, preached to the homeless. My dad ususally had at least one bible study going on with somebody homeless in a public park. Suits are cheap and available at thrift stores, but usually somebody in the congregation would donate them to someone in need.We even brought a homeless person into our home on a couple occasions. Both after months of bible study with my dad. My dad got them both jobs. One went back to crack after a month or so. The other got baptised and shortly thereafter moved back to his hometown in the midwest. As far as I know he's still a witness.

"I shall surely multiply your seed . . ."
by leaving_quietly ini've been thinking about the 144,000 and them alone being called to heaven.
it does not make logical sense, given the promise given to abraham, which was still thought to be in effect even in the first century, thus should still be in effect today.
the promise was: "i shall surely multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand that are on the seashore.

@problemaddict - I disagree. Sometimes it's a wonderful experience to play devils advocate (arguing a point you don't agree with) in order to refine your personal beliefs and help others define their own. What better place to do that than an internet forum?
