The "Ransom Sacrifice" short version.
by Norm inin the christian part of the world not many of us have escaped the much hyped and published sacrifice christ supposedly made when the romans executed him.. i myself was going around for years parroting this strange concept without giving it much thought.
thinking and faith some times do not mix very well.. anyway, apparently god made a royal blunder when he created the first humans and they plunged mankind into death and despair first crack out of the box, while god stood by and watched helplessly.
then we are told that god for this reason, in his infinite wisdom took mankind for ransom for thousands of years.

In there no good in the WTBTS??? or ourselves??
by jst2laws inwe hopefully all agree it is wrong to reject an entire race because we have found one of its member to be flawed, or to reject an entire concept an the basis of finding a flaw in its argument.
would not fair people look for a way to accept the good in the concept, modify the flawed portion and rejoice in what was gained from the refined concept?
it would also be wrong, as the wt does, to reject an entire institution because some of its precepts are flawed.

144,000 explained
by Bruce144 inwe are a small group dedicated to proclaiming jehovah's kingdom both of the 144,000 in heaven and a perfect world for the rest of perfect mankind.. but, we cannot agree entirely with the societies view of why only the 144,000 go to heaven and their wrong count of the animals taken into noah's ark.. we use biblical and scientific reasoning in believing that the 144,000 are going to heaven to replace the sinning angels.
we use only the bible and the societies publications to prove our point about the proper animal count.. we realize you are instructed not to read other than watchtower material, yet jehovah instructs us to make sure of all things.
if you only take the time to read verses 8 and 9 of genesis 7, you will have to agree that both the clean and unclean animals went into the ark two by two or by twos, for the total number of 14 for the clean animals as shown in verse 2, male and female by sevens.. the society says, that only the unclean animals went in by twos.

Are they looking for "Rice Christians"?
by Gopher ini'm trying to get a clear "take" on this:.
the wts has often implied that their form of missionary work, concentrating on "preaching and teaching", is superior to that of christendom's.
christendom often starts out by bringing food supplies, hospitals and the like, supposedly "enticing" the natives with material goodies.

144,000
by Bruce144 inhl giancula,.
the signs and wonders that jehovah gave us, added to the bible writings completes the bible's outline directed to us.
by using the animals representing certain people it just makes it easier to understand jehovah's direction.. besides this, the number 144,000 stands alone with its exact numbeerrneeded in heaven.
