apparently, the father of bobby kennedy's killer was accused of being a jw.

What I found interesting was the fact that the Watchtower Society of Pennsylvania was recognised as the Governing body of the JW's. How things change!

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

just wondering.

when i was a witness, we had presiding overseer, and would say p-o for short.

do they spell it out when they say cobe or do they say it with as a word?

Why does Jehovah choose certain people to rule with him in heaven?

by iWant2Learn in

in other words, what good works have the 144000 done to be secured a place in heaven?

i am told they have already been chosen.

does that mean that jehovah also knows our future?

why144000

I understood it was a 'first come first served' arrangement. That is why the 'door' was closed in 1935 (reopened later). A steaming pile of crap!

Were the apostles of the 'Anointed class' when they partook?

by why144000 in

according to john 20:22 the apostles did not receive the holy spirit until after jesus was resurrected.

wouldn't this make them part of 'the other sheep' when they partook of the bread and wine?.

Had to go last night. 144,000 literal, marks on forehead, symbolic, virgins, symbolic. People all around me were nodding in agreement. Felt sorry for them.

What are 'all his belongings'

by why144000 in

if the slave is given control over the 'domestics' in 1919 and this includes anointed and great crowd what is left for the master to give the slave?

all the worldly people will be destroyed so what is left?.

matthew 24: 45who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46 happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47 truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48 “but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’+ 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51 and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.
