mediator and the new covenant.
the society has taught that only the 144,000 are to par-take of the emblems and jesus only mediates and died for them.
"he is the mediator between his heavenly father, jehovah god, and the nation of spiritual israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.
most important too is that the 12 tribes of the israel of God as recorded in Rev.7 are BIGGER than the 144 k. there are more spiritual Israelites than the 12x 10 000 of Re.7 &14.
you are right the confuse the Kingdom and New Covenants.
and gamble peoples lives with that shamble.
There must be a better, simpler way, than believing in all these questionable stories and their wrong interpretations.
at what point do you believe the soul is made / inserted?
in which of the gametes is the soul or the information for the soul stored, sperm or ovum.
is it inserted at fertilisation, some other point during embryogenesis or is it during fetal development?
cant leave, these are too deep questions for me. There is something special about life and the specific boundries that mark viable reproductive ability.
There can be no life or its unique force with out it having passed on (now).
the word soul, psyche seems to carry the idea of a thought pattern, nerve reaction as its simplest that is passed on in part, even in plants.
does a delicious (grafensteiner) on a crab-apple tree draw from the same nutrients? does it have a distinct genetic pattern? will the bite leave a never to be forgotten taste delight in our thought/memory pattern? yes.
The more interesting question is raised by the misteltoe. or orchids. beware!
The big question is the thought patterns evident in nature's LAWS. so can there be a thought pattern without an embodyment? probably so.
will the brain-or any more primitive nerve function- based memory exist in, or exit from a dying organism?- doubtful until proven.
so: let us enhance our minds, and pass the goodnes on to our offspring.
dont miss the misteltoe moment.

can not an ovum or sperm be kept alive when nourished or preserved by freezing and revival? so are they soulless lifeless nevertheless?
Is it not the independent life that marks the novel arrangement?
to remain a living soul is our goal.
and all the drama in between!!!
so are the experiences of many people.....really, what was lifes journey all about?
its been tugging at me since i was a boy....
the jour-ney is just that, jour apres jour, it is also about JOY. we enjoy procreation, all aspects of it, its fruits. we enjoy work, creativity (not drudgery). we enjoy sleep, even the final one. IF and when we are ready. Observing other life-forms, even plants: they all seem to enjoy what they do well.
blessed are those that enjoy thinking and spiritual things like music (not noise).
But procreation is a proven tool of development and continuity and it tops them all.
God is love , make it happen.

huggles y'all!!
Our speaker stressed that Job knew jehovah's thoughts and feelings that he put into words and Gods Word ( NWT). but (the speaker) did not explain why (Job) did not know the little detail of him (Job) being the centerpiece in the Satan vs Jehovah souvereignty battle.
after a talk like that, a delivery like that, you are glad that death indeed ends it all.
greetings:are you convinced (with all due humility, of course) of your future destination according to religious beliefs?
perhaps you'd simply like to journey through outer space, but return eventually to our beautiful planet, earth .
.
For any one any where else in the universe, we are already in heaven (up for them).
jesus also said (so they said) "you will be with me in paradise", so it cant be bad." permanent paradise sleep? if you are being tortured to death, sleep really would be paradise.
but I am not holding my breath waiting,
enjoying life along with you-all.
our town is hosting a international indie film festival this week and today they are featuring leopold engleitner's story of being a witness in the concentration camps of buchenwald, niederhagen, and ravensbruck.
he weighed 63 lbs.
when he was freed.
it is a wonderful fitting story. 108 years!! proves the truism that the less you eat, the longer you will live.!* down to 63 pounds! if you were a survivor and lucky, the camp was a safer place# than many other areas in that terrible time and theater.
His name also is in keeping with the topic, LEO-pold engLEITnER (the Lion*** Narrow Ladd*er) in his native tongue.
Doctrine variations had some influence on the victimes, but many were carried through by the sheer force of their right stand against the monstrous astrocities of hitler's and stalin's hordes.
was there not a story of a sister in eastern Europe that preached the "Kingdom Good news" for 15 + years before ever seeing a bible?
Wt elders are mostly managers, many not elders in the true sense of the word, Br. EngLeitner of course truly is, a leitner, a "guide" in german not a ver-fuehrer like hitler, or other inflated egos of that ilk.
* as the story goes, IF A&E would have restricted their diet, we would all live longer.
# what was the survival ratio of JW in Europe 1933-1945 33 000+ members; 2000+ killed a casuality rate of 10%? many segments of the poulation faced far greater risks, even anihilation. so the bible gives protection of sorts, for believers and survivors.
let us applaud a life well lived.
Br. Engleitner. for the german speakers: how is Iaiah 40:31 the appropriate text fulfilled as indicated by his name en-GLEITEN-er?
when i was a dub i was petrified of displeasing the trademark imaginary god that the wbt$ had invented.
i feared that kind of death.. the thought of being unconscious totally forevermore seems so weird.. now that i know the wbt$ was lying (as usual), and i realise there can't possibly be a god as described in religion i am now faced with the reality that i'll be dead and gone with nothing to carry me on after in a conscious way.
just because i don't want this to happen doesn't mean it won't.. oh, darn!
J-L Picard gave a good PICTURE. so do you EP. un astre, a star gives energy while it shines, but in DEATH gives the material needed to keep every one/ thing moving along, developing.
stars, not so stellar humans, moustiques (gnats) all move through time for a while. ( and provide valuable matter as the go and in DEATH))
make the most of the ride.
all information is sent into the future: which is in the already existing 4st dimension (or the 3 ds expanding through/with it) but
any information, printed or not, is received as coming out of the past,
the past that is gone for good.
all printing is 4d. because:
can you print any thing without time?
have a good time!
ps: even Gutenberg did 3 D printing! did his paper, ink not have thickness?

off course, at DEATH, the matter&energy that made up the brain/mind continues to exist in spacetime. but
at DEATH, the particular arrangement, interaction, energy flow (that makes up the person) stops moving through time, it becomes
part of the unmoving, fixed past time.
We live in the ever moving, zero length NOW and at DEATH we leave it.
ep: I mis - spoke: I am certain (not hopeful) you did not intentionally use a novel form of the F-- word in describing our SURE HOPE: science.
yes, it is great to be here. until DEATH does us part.
