does this make any sense whatsoever ?
isnt jesus christ the king ?why the need for 144000 king priests to help him ?.
is he not up for the job?
Drearyweather, let me be clear the scriptures in the original Greek do not say they will be kings. Yep not kings, the King James Bible and the JW Bible has it wrong. Not only the scriptures in Revelations but all other scriptures in the New Testament that make it seem like they are kings.
And as for reigning as priests with Jesus, the kingdom of god according to Revelations comes down to earth so the throne he sits on could be on earth. But this again is just arguing semantics.

The actual Greek scriptures at Revelations chapter 5:9-10 doesn't actually say they'll be kings, neither does any scripture in the New Testament. They are to reign as priests on the earth not rule over it. That what these scriptures actually say in Greek. This was in reference to I believe the scripture in Deuteronomy where is says " they will be a kingdom of priests ".
That's the whole idea !
she was a fine sister with a history that went back six generations with jehovahs witnesses.
her family boasted well over 1000 jw family members, many of which had high station within the organization.
this proud heritage was marred by another fact in the familys history this sister had not disclosed.
Like someone else brought out earlier in this thread, they only use the two witness rule where convenient for them.
i think this is the first clear, official statement regarding hemoglobin-based products.
awake!
august 2006, front page title "blood: why so valuable?".
The contradictions on this subject are just plain evil! How would it have felt when one who had lost someone do to the blood policy just a few months or years ago have felt when this article came out . These guys are truly just blind idiots trying to protect doctrine without really criticizing it.
For newbies here and those that don't already know, human breast milk contains roughly 1 million white blood cells per drop!
so we've heard from three different governing body members this year regarding child sexual abuse.. the latest one on the rc admitted there's a sexual abuse problem within the cult, yet lett and morris swept the dirt under the carpet stating they have a great reputation as far as sex abuse is concerned, and pointed their fingers at "apostate lies".
.
i'm left totally confused at the contradiction of this "organization"..
Didn't the Catholic Church deny thier sexual abuse problem for a few years too?
on the front of the 2016 year book it says that the watchtower is spending $200 million us dollars a year on special pioners etc if they get $1 billion us dollars from selling all the buildings at bethel in new york by my mats that gives them another five years or so.what might happen after that ????
:-).
The expense report is like the one they give at the circuit assemblies all a bunch of lies and miss reporting.
we haven't heard much recently about india.
whats the current situation over there?
.
The vast majority of the world doesn't know the JW message. The ones that have heard of the cult only know that they don't take blood , don't celebrate holidays and think they don't believe in Jesus. Thier witnessing work has been a huge failure!!
i recently commented on a thread in relation to the 607 bc - 1914 ad calculation, listing problems with the logic and mathematics.
afterwards, i wondered what made ct russell choose 606 bc in the first place.
here is my research so far.. i had read somewhere a suggestion that 606 bc was a number ct russell got from nathan balbour who in turn got it from william miller of the millerites.
Shouldn't John Aquila Brown and the guys who wrote the first book on pyramidology be the Faithful and discreet slave ??
religions wealth has always made me squirm.
from the catholic church, with its golden city and priceless relics, to the mormons and their absurd temple and huge big fat bank account.
the jw's are the same.
In 1974 they were telling people the world was about to end and the JW members needed to get the word out. But instead of them putting thier money where thier mouth was and advertising that the world was about to end on TV and Radio, they went out and bought the Towers hotel in Brooklyn.
