  144000....DO THE NUMBERS ADD UP?????

  by chuckyy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as jws we were told only 144000 go to heaven from the time of christ right up to this day.it dawned on me before i was baptized one day during my study that the numbers dont add up.

  the brother was telling me that the roman persecutions of the christians were killing thousands every week.

  initially, within weeks of jesus death, there were 5000 christians at least in jerusalem.

  i'm gearing up for an extended trip to europe starting this summer.

  i'm hoping to stay about two years altogether, and i'd like to stay about six months each in four different locations.

  i'm thinking about starting in germany, mostly because i'm interested in studying german and i've heard it's a beatiful country.. so here's my question.

  i have long laughed about this so when i saw it, it was pretty funny.

  maybe you had to be there.. i was on the city bus this morning, on my way to school.

  (i'm in college) anyway, i saw a guy reading a watchtower and i was wondering if he was a real dubbie or had just picked up the magazine off the seat or something.
