  2. beliefs

  just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

  (can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

  in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

  REVIVING THIS DECADE OLD THREAD!!

  w20 April pp. 1-32 - The Watchtower (Study)—2020

  "the majority of the anointed have been chosen in modern times."

  Whaaaat? Lol so... least 51% majority (for argument sake) of 144,00 is 73,440 since let's say the 1900s. Modern times = 1900s(?) ummm.. idk but definitely 40,000 partakers recorded since 1948 (see here).

  MATH TIME. 73,440 - 40,000 = 33,440 to go. If the trend continues, 10k+ per decade, then less than 30 more years for the end!!!!! BY 2050 THE END WILL COME!! Jk.

  So basically from the numbers, that means only 70,560 out of the 800,000 Christians that died as martyrs in the first century were "true" Christians.

  What the hell constitutes 'true Christians'?? I thought losing my life because of my faith automatically made me a 'true Christian'. I guess losing your life in the ministry, defending your faith, etc (as often said) doesn't guarantee you a "spot" after all. Lol

  But in terms of the anointed today, there would are roughly 33,400 anointed left to realize they are... or be born within 10 years from now to reach the age of understanding... what do you think?

  @atlantis or anyone who cares

  Firstly, Thank you!! I really needed this and you wouldn't guess why... nor do I think it would be safe to tell you here lol

  But... Doesn't the format of the outline look a little different to you? Its a different font, the top "Note:" area isn't boxed as it is usually, and the last page it the only one that has the reference when all pages usually do.

  Was this outline recreated or is it a new outline format?
