Different Teachings on Who God's People Are

by GTis4U in

*** ws chap.

13 p. 112 par.

14 so, now, thanks to jehovah that he has provided the capable mediator who is successfully accomplishing the purpose of the new covenant in producing a people, 144,000 strong, for his name!

Welcome GT,

Am I correct that you are saying that for many years until at least 1995 the Watchtower was saying that it was just the 144,000

who were "Gods People, "a people for his name", but now they are saying it's all of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Do you ever notice CO/DO/GB quips and catchphrases become a little repetitive?

I dont HAVE to wear a shoe just because it fits.

For one thing I have plenty of shoes and I don't want any more.

It might fit but be bad for my posture/health.

It might fit but is ugly.

It might fit, but it's men's shoe and I'm a women.

It might fit but it's very, very expensive and I can't afford it.

The arrogance of it!!!

I have been out for 10years.

I have heard of many things in that time that really upset/disgusted me, but question 9

is quite beyond anything I have seen, or heard.

That plumbs the depths of depravity.

by TheScientist in

hello folks,.

i have other news.. i had seen in the brazilian forum that un had removed the document that speaks about the disaffiliation of the watchtower to it.. however, what really happened was the restructuring of the website, which caused the linkto got invalid... follow the official link of the document directly from the website of the un:.

Governing body member engaged... Again!

by OneDayillBeFree in

just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.

it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.

what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!
