  I know he had the 144000 vs the great crowd, but didn't they both go to Heaven?

  I don't want to watch that video; GB videos make me I'll. Can you tell me what he said that inspired this thread? Are they allowing beards now? Or are they doubling down?

  A cancerous arsehole, dying of cancer of the arsehole.

  Paradise earth was probably stolen from the Christadelphians.

  It certainly sounds ominous; are they planning to tighten the obedience screws in some abhorrent way, or is this their normal out of touch paranoia speaking?

  FDS 1919 Declaration Date

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did rutherford have any "prophetic" justification for 1919 as the date that jesus declared him (ahem, the wt organisation) the fds?

  such as some calculation attached to 1914?

  that in 1919, jesus would come looking for his true organisation?.

  "For example, during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were asked to stop meeting at our Kingdom Halls and to suspend our house-to-house ministry, did you struggle to obey?"

  Considering how central and sacrosanct those are to the WT, I'm not surprised if ordinary JWs struggled to accept a complete 180 from everything they had been told to hold dear!

  ThomasMore, he was certainly a one for pulling crazy ideas out of a hat. I miss Farkel; his takes on da Judge were hilarious.

  The "Problem" With Zoom

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is the org's problem with zoom, attending this way does not fit with their "scriptural definition" of a christian gathering.

  at least not anymore, one thing my pimi wife is fine with is attending on zoom occasionally, even 2-3 times a month or so.. if some of you recall, during covid there were break out rooms setup for people to stay on and associate.

  many would also stay in the main meeting and talk over each other trying to say hello, etc.

  Vidiot, there are many YouTube videos out there about the changing workplaces of the corporate world. Joshua Fluke is a reasonable channel.

  Both the WT and strong hands on management are experiencing similar shifts in outcomes.

  In my understanding, the two class system was made from whole cloth by da Judge. Russell had both the 144000 and the great crowd in Heaven. Rutherford created the heavenly reward for himself and his mates only. Then, he realised that there was no incentive, no carrot, for the grunts whom he expected to carry the load going forward. So he hastily cobbled together "da Paradise Erf" to give the lower class something to work for.
