  Phizzy:

  Thanks.

  Where does it say that the "Great Crowd" take advantage of Christ's blood in Revelation? That would help a lot! Thanks

  Thanks y'all.

  Yes, I have researched and see that the great crowd are in the inner temple. Thanks JWfacts!

  But, the WT throws it for a loop when it says:

  Reasoning Book says:

  *** rs p. 167 Heaven ***
  Do those of the “great crowd” referred to at Revelation 7:9, 10 also go to heaven?
  Revelation does not say of them, as it does of the 144,000, that they are “bought from the earth” to be with Christ on heavenly Mount Zion.—Rev. 14:1-3.

  I have been having some discussions with the Bible Students regarding this and they still gotta get back to me with research. Is the great crowd also "bought" from earth, even though it only mentions that the 144K are?

  Anyone have a response to this? WT is trying to debunk thought that of Rev. 7:9,10 is not in heaven.

  Wouldn't "great crowd" in heaven also need to be "bought from earth".

  2014 AGM announcement rumour

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from barbara anderson, former watchtower headquarters researcher and writer, on another recent thread:.

  it is expected that at the 2014 annual meeting, usually held the first saturday in october, will serve watchtower leaders well to cover-up all the 100-years of prophetic nonsense.

  rumor has it they are going to celebrate their 100-years of announcing the kingdom in an adroit way by featuring a move of "great" significance to do with the expansion of the governing body to an "apostolic" 12 or some other fantasy idea.. .

  A Church Divided Over Leaders

  10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, [a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow [the Governing Body]”; another, “I follow [the Organization]”; another, “I follow [Jehovah's Witnesses] [b] ”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

  13 Is Christ divided? Was [the Governing Body] crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of [the Governing Body]? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
