  Last week's WT - a convoluted trip back to Earth

  by neat blue dog in

  last weekend's wt study (nov. 18) had 3 count em three biblical references to the christian hope of heavenly resurrection that had to be twisted into talking about earth to fit their doctrine.. 1:.

  in what sense do the mild-tempered “inherit the earth”?

  jesus’ spirit-anointed disciples inherit the earth when they rule over it as kings and priests.

  I always understood that if I inherit something I take possession and ownership of it. Looks like even though I inherit something I am only 'allowed' to have it as it could be taken off me at any time. WTF?

  Interesting that there were 402 Governing body members from 29 countries. How things change.

  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!

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

  by iWant2Learn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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?

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.
