I love this talk. It's one of my favorites. Very detailed and informative.
"For [the] vision is yet for the appointed time...Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late. (Habakkuk 2:3)
and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?
are you ready for that?.
and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !

according to the wt the 144000 have to die to obtain their heavenly reward?
but which part of them goes to heaven?.
their body can't and doesn't.
Their spirit, of course. Their life force; their consciousness.
With the anointed, their spirit is trapped in a living body.
But when the body dies, their spirit is released, given a new spiritual body, then they 'fly' to Jehovah.
This is their predicament:
"We are spirits in the material world..."--Sting
not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but yeah.
they just posted up the new watchtower...with the confusing new information.. time for me to go dive into this "new light" and try to see what sense it makes.
of course cedars already nicely did a run down for us.. .
confusedteenager, the second round of judging at the end of Christ's millenial reign is to destroy the bunch of people that are going to follow Satan when he is released from the abyss. (Rev 20:7-9)

dear friends:.
forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.
this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.
Mike, Don't be afraid. This life is not all there is. There is a life after this one, and it is wonderful!
i'll start.
i'm low on friends, for various reasons.
scientists poke their calculators into everything, and the number of friends we can have is one of them.
I have over 7 million friends and they're all JW's :-)
we had an old time jw pass away recently he lived his entire life lie the new system was going to be here tomorrow.. he was a gillard grad and went on to be missionry in west africa.. came back home when wife got pregent(they eventuly had 3 children) ,sold everything pre 75 to see the system out and pioneer then had to work his butt off to rebuild his finances and put a roof over his familys head.. he retired and became a co till his wifes health could no longer alow it.. he got a treminal illness and i wonder in his quiter moments did he think ....".ive lived my entire life for a dream that never came true".
he's only one of many i see,their lives comming to an end and the new system is no closer than it was when they started.. .
karter..
I think they regret not living long enough to be an eyewitness to Jehovah's magnificence during the Great Tribulation.
what would you tell or ask these group of men if they called you in for a meeting?.
.
I would ask each of them to describe their anointing experience :-)
so in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?
but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.
it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.
DATA, another reason an exemplary publisher who partakes is not catapulted through the ranks is perhaps because they don't WANT to be. Many anointed ones are very humble and are content to work behind the scenes for the good of the congregation.
