Angels make for fantastic artistic expression. Think of the paintings, movies, music videos, memes, we get because of them.

Myriads and Myriads of Angels ... What Do They Do?
by RubaDub ini never understood this in my entire life in the borg.. who knows how many angels there are, millions, billions?.
an angel protected rahab when the walls of jericho fell.
then one angel killed 24,000 one night.. yet there seems to be this paranoia in the borg like the bunker video and the field video where jw's are under attack and apparently alone or at least it appears alone.. can't a few angels be put on overtime and protect the brothers from the potential "authorities" that wish to harm or eliminate them?.

"The first question is:
On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
The second is:
Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism."~jwfacts

Perry is spot on. (Watchtower 2006 May 15 p.22 ) As was I in my earliest post, the one right after the OP.
Unlike Perry, I have lost interest in backing up my assertions with WT print propaganda.

Not that I don’t agree with your meme. I just love that quote.
I spent a lot of years being angry. I sunk it into activism. Then a lot of activists also made me angry.
What makes me less angry is accepting that WT is not going away. I recognize that there is a path of destruction in its wake. I channeled my anger into love for those suffering. I feel better helping to put them back together than I do focusing on blasting WT 24/7.
Not that it is wrong. I did it. Other activists are adept at it. I’m happy for them to take the reigns.

I sense much fear in you. Fear leads anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

It has been stated repeatedly and referenced by WT literature in multiple posts. The GC have no mediator. They are latchers on trying to gain paradise by extension.
It’s like chain migration.

The morality thing worked when I was an adolescent.
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, don’t fight, don’t swear, don’t fool around with boys, don’t do drugs, don’t drink.
Or it will make Jehovah sad.
But it doesn’t stick. Us born ins just got really good at sneaking around.
Rule 1. Don’t get caught
Rule 2. If caught, deny, deny, deny.
Rule 3. If more than a single witness, demand photos or video.
Rule 4. If it hits the fan, beg, plead, cry, roll on the floor....
yep an awesome foundation for morality.

Yes it has(can of worms explored). It is accepted by rank and file JWs that they enjoy the sacrifice of Christ Jesus as an extension of the little flock or 144,000.
Everything the GB has to say is directly to the “anointed”, but as Christ’s brothers, the great crowd rides their coattails into the Kingdom.
The Watchtower is written from the GB to the remnant of 144,000 still alive on earth. The 8 million rank and file feast at the breadcrumbs left over and take heart that they will gain a paradise earth while their masters attain heaven.
Yes this is a fabrication not supported by logical dissection of the scriptures.
But when the legitimate dissection takes place, this JW doctrine pales in comparison to the failings as a whole.
The religion is a cult.
The bible is a fictional work.
Nobody is going to heaven or hell or paradise.

I was 3 years old in 75. My mom taught me to read just then. I was at Campbell Hall at UCSB. It was about Fred Franz and 1975 the year we were there. It was a big deal. Everyone was giddy. I can not find any reference to it online. He was in Los Angeles the weekend before.
Years later I learned about the silly bros and sis that sold businesses and properties before Armageddon came and about bros and sis chastised for keeping their investments in tact.
30 years later those rebellious JWs are sitting on, have sold, have passed on multi million dollar properties to their offspring in death or otherwise. Very few of which are still active JWs.
75 was foreshadow. Never to be repeated. Because nobody can afford shit that will appreciate like before.
The end time prediction will likely surface again. There aren’t any wealthy hangers on left who would wager it all on just around the corner. Their kids have inherited it all and have long left the WT.
