isis has it's young warriors, jw?
last weekend in a "developing country", at a ~ 3500 attendee assembly, 90, mostly young were baptized, ratio 46/44 female - male ratio.
internet savvy population.
I'd rather not be specific, but the info is authentic, first hand, by contrast in our summer assembly of the same size there were only ~ 9 -- 10% candidates, at 1 day only one, before even none.
I see the youth with their screen addiction falling prey to these irrational messages removed from reality, A report from germany lately was that the youth is losing*** touch with natural reality, they see the electronics as the field of life.
***I mis-spelled. "loo"-sing

i was thinking the other day about trends.
think back over the decades and how generally the majority of people will feel or like or dislike the same things.
people comment how awful and ugly things that trended in the past were.

Beth Sarim, where does it even say the 144 000 of revelation are exclusively anointed ? Rev.7 says they are sealed out of the 12 tribes. Rev 14 does not say anointed either. male virgins perhaps?
anointed directing the Governing body coming in two batches, not all overlapping.
1) those that died before 1918, preferably by the axe of Rev 20.
2) those that died since, and will be dying, (overlappees and overlappers) until Armageddon.-- the bad news?
This miserable performance of heaven to earth communication, will again try to remedy past errors by carrying on into paradise. the New World will just be the same, only more of it.-- what rhymes with it?

Lieu:--"We gotta try to remember, the entire JW sect was based on the foundation that Russell, Rutherford, etc could for tell the "rapture".--
good observation, and now? their prediction makes a farce out of the anointed generation, overlapping or not. because : when is the rapture of the last anointed supposed to happen? just before the mother of all tribulations, the finish,-- Arm-a - geddon. What is the trouble with that? well, is the fall of Jerusalem, in it's second fulfillment, not the end of this system and not included in that which jesus foretold would happen before this generation would pass? but wt writers say this generation of anointed will pass well before the end, the beginning of the new. that's why it is guaranteed, it ain't true.

2. Goats are used for the Day of Atonement(Yom Kippur), they represent forgiveness of and the taking away of sin.
Goat meat is really delicious, whereas Lamb is iffy . but goats butt, you could find yourself bumped so: wt has Other Sheep, why not Other Goats? In the Churches, the OS are the Gentile Anointed , since Cornelius,-- in wt, it is the non-Anointed which came to new light only in 1935,.-- Peter Paul and Mary on the other hand have been whispering to Brooklyn, directing since 1918.
they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.
in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.
the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.
Lett*'s try put the "nicht" where it belongs, in the school. :
" Ein reifer junger Mensch verhaelt sich im Koenigreichssaal wie ein Freund Jehovah's, aber nicht wie ein Freund der Welt in der Schule oder ?"---, aber in der Schule nicht wie ein Freund der Welt.?
*would Lett let us do that? choices?

leaving _quietly. are you trying to take our fun away with this idea we like?
"Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ at his arrival." The wt writer's application of this text is: First:- Presence of JC in 1914, war, cleansing of heavens in 1914, resurrection of dead anointed, firstfruits, into cleansed heavens starting in 1918, instant resurrection of current anointed, (the overlapped and overlappers) until his arrival to Judge the Sheep & Goats prior to Armageddon, and concurrently, at this last arrival, rapture the last anointed the overlappers. thus all anointed can participate in The war and the abyssing of satan and Demons.
Therefore the wt claim, that Christ and the already anointed participate in directing affairs on earth. The new book "God's Kingdom Rules" is all about that.
So, all kind of Communications going on here. Revelation came to us From God through Christ to John, all the beasts, trumpets, now it is better. all that and now additionally filtered through the likes of R&R , Fr. Fr,-- Trying to explain why the Last Day just lasts and lasts -- reaching from beyond their graves to unfalsify false prophecy.
according to this jw video... now is the time to preach without fear!
now that the final days are here!.
the final days were not here previously (as they kept insisting for over 140 years)... but now they are!.
i think that 80% of jws do not truly believe in what they are taught .
the vast majority stay in because of family, friends, ignorance and a lack of caring about any of the facts regarding the "truth".
many people are lazy.
An astonishing number of jws believed the "1975 is beginning of the last (1000 year sabbath, judgement, paradise) day" printing. Many believed it 120% adding fantasy fulfillments to it, leaving businesses, selling property, or the believing cynics, going on unaffordable pleasure sprees.
These days are gone! in one congregation observed, perhaps only 1% really believes, but even then, surely must harbour doubts,
The very old ones hope not to die, but hope is not belief.
