    ............into believing that inferred "statements" are actual facts, while never stating anything!

    w07 1/1 p. 28 pars. 11,12 "The First Resurrection"—Now Under Way!

    "It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today. Why is that important? Because the correct identity of the great crowd (Christians????) was revealed to God’s anointed servants on earth in 1935. (Exactly how was it "revealed"? By Madame Zelda and her crystal ball at the local fairground? Go on, tell us!) If one of the 24 elders was used to convey that important truth, he would have had to be resurrected to heaven by 1935 at the latest. That would indicate that the first resurrection began sometime between 1914 and 1935. Can we be more precise? (No you can't, because fantasies are fantasies, and can't be precise))

    12 At this point, it may be helpful to consider what might be viewed as a Bible parallel. (Here it comes....) Jesus Christ was anointed as the future King of God’s Kingdom in the fall of 29 C.E. Three and a half years later, in the spring of 33 C.E., he was resurrected as a mighty spirit person. Could it, then, be reasoned that since Jesus was enthroned in the fall of 1914, the resurrection of his faithful anointed followers began three and a half years later, in the spring of 1918? That is an interesting possibility. Although this cannot be directly confirmed in the Bible, it is not out of harmony with other scriptures (examples??) that indicate that the first resurrection got under way soon (how soon?) after Christ’s presence began."

    Apart from anything else, in paragraph 11 the self-proclaimed "faithful & discreet slave" is unashamedly claiming that it may be receiving divine truths from a dead person who has been resurrected to heaven. This makes the G.B. "detestable" in their god's eyes - not just ours! Deuteronomy 18:11,12

    Because something isn't out of harmony with the Bible doesn't make it a fact!

    Wow. There's a lot of speculation there. They forgot to say, ".....if the identity of the 24 Elders has been correctly interpreted..."

    What if the 24 Elders aren't humans that have been resurrected, and appointed over all the tax-free Real Estate selling denominations of Xianity?!?!? Oopsies.....

    Sounds like Bullet-Head Splane dreamed this up....
