  How long can you be a non-person?

  by 24k in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to shed some light on the above question, i will need to give some backround.

  3 years ago, i stopped serving as an elder in my local congregation.

  i have not regularly attended meetings for more than 2 years and i have not participated in the door to door work for about the same length of time.

  What does the Society have against jeans?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rarely will you find a picture of someone in the awake or watchtower wearing jeans.

  even in there so-called paradise on earth illustrations, men can be doing dirty work in the farm, and be wearing slacks.. for example, in the november 15th wt entitled, "do you want to live forever?

  ", page 7 has another paradise illustration, which has to be one of the most socially-engineered pictures i have ever seen.. the caption, "love for god and neighbor will make living forever worthwhile".

  How Many 1st Century Christians?

  by 24k in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just wondering if anyone has done any research regarding the estimated number of christians around during the 1st and 2nd centuries.

  it seems that there would have been well over 144,000. if so, there certainly would not have been any remaining spots to fill during the 20th century.

  of course, the bible doesn't seem to set a number limit on those going to heaven.

  JW doctrine..

  by Brummie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i cant think of any of their doctrines that could be supported if they didnt deliberately alter the scriptures.

  even their teaching of god creating the earth is flawed when one considers what they believe about god.. of the top of my head i cant think of anything that i still believe that was taught me by the watchtower...can you?.

  144,000 ?

  by 24k in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  while in the midst of a discussion with my wife, who is a devout witness, regarding who go to heaven, it dawned on me that the wbts teaching that only 144,000 go to heaven seems to have a fatal flaw in the math.

  according to acts 2:41 "... about three thousand souls were added to their number that day.

  " speaking of christians.
