ok, so i have a serious question.
probably my first on here, but this has always bugged me, and i've never received a satisfactory answer.. how does someone become annointed?
when i was a child, my grandpa, who was an elder, told me that if you are of the annointed, you just know.

I assume you are all aware of the new light....which says that anointed ones are still being picked by Jehovah?
Therefore they are not all oldies anymore. Also a new person who says they are anointed does NOT need to be a REPLACEMENT for an anointed who fell away. They could be a whole new anointed person that Jah just picked.
Apparently God hasn't finished filling the number up to 144000.
It was a study article a couple of months ago, someone should have the reference.

as explained to me recently, only jehovah's witnesses are actively fulfilling matt 24:14, thus showing them alone to be the true religion.
sidestepping the glaring issue of jesus stating that love would mark the identity of true christians, let's examine that notion.. .
i have personally rebutted that opinion by stating, with accuracy, that many christians have a gospel ministry and manage to reach hundreds of millions of people across the planet with their message.. .
Good thread.
Mary hit the nail on the head there...
They don't want to be so exposed - so they preach one on one and try to deceive the public into thinking they're a "normal" religion.

they don't really have the truth so it can't be that?
unless "they" at the top truly believe it - do you think they do?.
is it for monetary gain?
Why does the WTS exist?
Thats like asking why diarrhea exists.

last week when i was tipsy i ordered a copy of sing praises to jehovah, and it came in the mail today.
i hadn't heard some of the songs since i was a child, and i've rediscovered some of the lyrics.
they are quite amusing (albeit disturbing).. this is a classic everyone knows, song number 2. .
being a parent means asking for the wing out of the kentucky fried chicken basket just because you want your family to get the best pieces.. .
being a parent means watching traffic through your side mirrors and your child through the rear view mirror of your car because your afraid she'll cough on her crackers or even just bob her head to the music and you don't want to miss it.
it means getting light headed blowing up a whole house full of balloons just because it will make her smile.. .
and I've got it all to come...in about 6 weeks

The proof for me is what happens
to peoples intelligence and thought processes when they experience physical damage to their brain.
Have you read "The man who mistook his wife for a hat" by Oliver Sacks?
Fascinating book about the effects of brain damage.
