The Bible in the true Greek never calls them kings it says they will reign as priests only . Check your Greek inter linear Rev. 5:9-10 and all other scriptures in the New Testament that references any Christian as king. By the way the word reign doesn't necessarily mean to rule.

Why does Jehovah choose certain people to rule with him in heaven?
by iWant2Learn inin 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?

Paradise was an invention of the Egyptians later adopted by some of the Greeks, they called Elysian or Elysian Fields. The Egyptians called it the Field of Reeds.
In Egypt the dead body or a version of the persons spirit (there was a total of 3) would travel to the underworld while its KA spirit would go out.
In the underworld it would go through triles or tribulations then be judged against the heart of MAat. If it's heart was pure it would rejoin its spirit and all its other parts and move on to paradise. If the heart was not pure it would be eaten by a animal demon god and the body would be cast off in to the lake of fire.
Christianity is a copy of these ideas including thier Astro theology.

God never knew Jesus would be killed?
by venus injesus gave an illustration with a landowner being the central character:.
“there was a landowner who planted a vineyard.
he put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.

No matter how you spin it the Old Testament was never about setting up a messiah to be killed as a human sacrifice. Even the scriptures in Isaiah are suspect.

To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight
by doubtfull1799 ini salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

Were the apostles of the 'Anointed class' when they partook?
by why144000 inaccording 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?.

Every religion has a laity class i.e. The leaders are special and you must follow them to be saved, Rutherford was just making up one for the JWs in 1935.

All who believe are part of the body of Christ all that do the will of god are sons of god. There is no two classes just the Jews then later the gentiles.

Animals, Blood, Food, and JW Beliefs
by dubstepped ini'm just thinking aloud here.
i watched a show yesterday and they were talking about how the largest mammals of the sea (whales) fed on such small creatures (plankton) rather than eating some other large creatures.
anyway, it got me thinking about how as jws we thought that in paradise animals would all be herbivores, that they would no longer eat other animals.

This is just more proof of evolution but anyway of the JWs are serious about not eating blood they need to stop breast feeding thier baby's.

Why are the evolutionist's so upset?
by Esse quam videri inso many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.
it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.
should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.

What the hell are you smoking wasn't it a religious not job that did this? I strongly believe that if the world was full of atheists we would be better off.

I'm 90% PIMO but events in Russia made me stop and think maybe Jehovah is real and helping
by Isambard Crater ini'm at the stage where i'd love a big scandal to come along showing clearly that the j.w's are not the true religion, but sometimes i get touched inside by various thoughts or events, the russian court trial being one of them.. i mean, j.w's are understandably fixated with attending the memorial, so why didn't the court say it will resume on monday or tuesday, instead setting wednesday 12 april as the date?
part of me believes the comments from pro-j.w's that jehovah moved events so they could attend the memorial.. it seems the j.w's will not be banned, which makes my mind and heart wrestle between thinking jah's behind it, or maybe the ministry of justice is just woefully prepared compared to the superb australian royal commission team who did their homework.
it surprises me the russians seemingly haven't done any homework..

Smack yourself, and wake up. They will be banned because thier no different under the Russian constitution then Scientology or any other cult or sect that has already been banned. If Jah is backing the JWs then why didn't he prevent the hurricane that hit the Philippines a few years ago from destroying 3 Kingdom Halls and killing 45+ JWs ?
