Thanks Mary! I don't know why the apostles couldn't be judges of a group they're also part of.

Interesting find Mary. The part I liked was the mention of sitting in Jim Penton's house last night. Now that I would love to do!

I guess some of us are getting different things out of this. What really struck me when I first read it was that they were claiming that the "twelve tribes of Israel" mentioned in both Matthew and Luke are referring to the average Joe---not even those of the 'Great Crowd' but "the world of mankind" in general.

If that's the case, then "the world of mankind" must also represent the 144,000 or "spiritual Israel". You can't have it both ways. This of course, would open up huge implications and once again I have to wonder if the bozos in the Writing Dept. ever actually read what they write before it's put to print.

It was really fascinating and I could have talked to him for hours. He's very knowledgable naturally, but he most certainly is not conceited or "puffed up with pride" like the Craptower likes to depict anyone with a PhD. I found our views on some major issues were nearly identical.

Ah, next time you come to Canada Jeff, we'll go down and see him.

Great find Mary!

I looked up in the old Aid book and the same info is also there

on page 1615 and that was published in 1971.

Thanks for the interesting info, your post is a keeper!
