  Question about the Annointed.

  when you were still a jw, what was your concept of what happened to those of the "annointed" who had died.

  i remember the scoffing and tittering when we were out in field service when a householder mentioned their belief that their loved ones were in "heaven".

  we were told to ask them "what was heaven like?, were there pearly gates, did people eat up there, did they have emotions?

  A Question I've Always Wondered About!

  i've often wondered about god's promise to hagar, ishmael"s mother in genesis 16:10 and 17:20 where he promises that he will greatly multiply her descendants making them too numerous to count, and also telling abraham that he would also bless ishmael and "he would certainly produce twelve chieftains, and i will make him become a great nation".

  verse 25 also mentions that ishmael was circumcised which would make him part of the covenant made between jehovah and abraham.

  in genesis 21:13, after telling abraham to drive hagar and ishmael out of his camp as sarah told him to do, god promised abraham that he would make a nation of ishmael too, because he was also abraham's son.

  i am a "newbie" that has been "lurking" and commenting on a couple of posts over the last six months.

  i was somewhat intimidated by some of the comments on the board so i didn't feel comfortable in introducing myself.

  since simon seems to be dealing with some of the more "aggressive" posters i felt the time had come to introduce myself.
