Iown mylife, it's my understanding that your not to far off but your using the wrong word. The one that has a different meaning is the word "reigning " this word can mean other things then ruling like a government or king.

Why the need for 144000 imperfect humans to Rule with Christ Jesus for 1000 years ? Is he incapable of ruling by himself ?

The words Reigning and Ruling has two different meanings. The priests in the Old Testament writings didn't have rulership authority over the people the same way as the king. Thier is no scripture in the New Testament in the original Greek that implies the followers of Christ would be rulers.

Watchtower No.3 2017 - The Four Horesmen
by pale.emperor inthis is the first time i've read through a watchtower magazine in about a year.
although i've been our only 8 months it really git me how crazy i must have sounded when i was a jw talking to non jws.. while other bible based religions talk about the 4 horsemen and back up their theories with other scriptures or historical evidence, the watchtower have taken so such steps.
1914 is thrown in there as if it's universally agreed that jesus started ruling since then.. even when i was a jw i never really understood why, if the pale horse represents jesus, why is he first?

A lot of christians don't believe Jesus is one of the horseman. I think the 4 horseman may have something todo with the sun god Helios because he had a four horse chariot. Also in the book of Enoch thier was 4 main good angels that were talked about, maybe the writer joined the two ideas together. I'm sure thier maybe a Greek, Egyptian or Ugaritic story about something like this and the writer took from that source material. It's amazing how many other stories in the Bible came about this way.

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 ".

She was a fine sister
by silentlambs inshe 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.

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!

Contradicting Governing Body Members
by Illuminated inso 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?
