  All 144,000 are on earth while the Great Multitude is in heaven

  why do the 144,000 need sealing?.

  what does it mean that the angels hold back the winds so that the sealing can take place?.

  where is the great multitude?.

  ok, i didnt think anything about it.

  but last night some friends from across the city called me up and said that the co was visiting their hall and in his talk he said that the society is getting geared up for a massive kingdom hall and assembly hall construction project worldwide next year.

  they told the publishers; "get ready".

  Plus each one they sell off, then build again with free labor

  Free Labor, that's the thing I believe most of us forget. Free labor is like money in the bank. Can you imagine if you had 5 million people for free labor and to do your bidding. They would work for you and you didn't have to pay them.

  2. current

  the number of pyramids in the world just keep going up and up.

  an egyptoligist thinks using satellite scanning technology he has found the remnants of another 17 pyramids in the egypt.

  in central and south american they keep finding more pyramids and in java a couple of years ago they surmised that the riuns their was actually a step pyramid possible the oldest in the world.

  I think we will find that this style of building was easier for ancient people to go higher with. But in ancient times, the same heavy material was used all the way up, so all they really knew was to start with a huge base and to get smaller the higher up they went.

  Hey that's the best explanation I've heard yet. It's simple, it makes sense, and it's not filled with a lot of crock.

  Advance Directives and the JW Patient

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  advance directives are complex legal instruments and widely misunderstood by both physicians and their patients.

  with most jehovah's witnesses their is a significant level of misinformation, and in many cases coercion or undue influence exerted on the patient.

  physicians need to be aware of this and always meet privately with the patient to educate them and then ascertain their true wishes.

  Lee Elder 23 minutes ago

  The JW patient is given a document which lists the various blood fractions - including hemoglobin (the largest single component of blood besides water) and told to study the relevant scriptures and prayerfully make a conscientious choice

  This is unreal, I feel like this is a joking conversation, but it's not.

  Maybe, they put this out there, the work stoppage, to set up the apostates into publishing "lies".

  I was thinking the same thing K. We've been set up.

  I know here in the U.S. when JW kids need a transfusion, the government just takes over. And the parents give a sigh of relieve. So the kid here are covered.

  The reality is in order for the money to keep coming in they need to tell the members their building, but of course we know

  DesirousOfChange
  

  It's my understanding that the announcement concerning the halt in construction was only given at Bethel, and nothing was said to the local Congs

  So we're the only ones who know besides the GB and Bethelites? WTF

  I noticed that the blood card says something like, "Might accept some blood fractions"

  So what is a jw patient to do if the doctor says; "Which fractions will you accept?"

  That been a current question some JWs are asking. "Which fractions are OK besides Albumin which I believe is listed on the card.

  Ok, I didn’t think anything about it. But last night some friends from across the city called me up and said that the CO was visiting their Hall and in his talk he said that the Society is getting geared up for a massive Kingdom Hall and assembly hall construction project worldwide next year. They told the publishers; "GET READY"

  He encouraged those with skills and young brothers to be ready to say the words;

  (Isaiah 6:8) . . .“Here I am! Send me.”

  Those that can’t volunteer, if they want to support Jehovah’s work, they can show their loyalty by donating money on a regular basis, for construction work, APART from what they pledge for the Kingdom Hall.

  I hung up and laughed.

  Then I saw a post by wifibandit today that confirms what this brother told me last night.

  What is going on?

  I thought the WT has stopped all construction.

  2016 Calendar: Give us more money!

  by wifibandit in

  2. beliefs

  just got a peak at the 2016 calendar and i cannot tell you how much it bothered me.

  it's all about constructing new kh and assembly halls, which is completely ironic given that the construction stopped almost worldwide.obviously this is proof that the borg is shifting from a magazine publisher to a real estate conglomerate, no wonder they're getting rid of 12 issues of magazines all together.. now, while the pdf of this is not up on the site yet, i will post confirmation as soon as it becomes available.

  weather that is by legitimate means or other wise..

  You know, I heard from some JWs attending the K-hall in another part of the city and were having the CO's visit, that the Society is getting geared up for a massive Kingdom Hall and assembly hall construction next year. They told the publishers; "GET READY"
