Why does satan do gods will of seperating the sheep by providing temptation? Surely it would be better to turn everyone into JWs and make Gods job harder? If Satan wants everyone to worship him, why isn't he just nice instead of supposedly making life so damned hard in the "last days"? If Satan has read the bible and the watchtower, he knows his days are numbered, so why does he not say sorry to Jehovah? If Satans' behaviour is prophesied, then it is also predestined. If it is predestined, then he has no free will to stop it, even if he wanted to. Shouldn't we therefore feel sorry for Satan? If Satans' behaviour is predetermined, and it is also prophesied that not all will get through armageddon, ergo not everyone on earth has free will. As such, it seems a tad cruel to kill all none JWs? Finally, on a slightly different note but following the thread, what if everyone became JWs? Would there still be persecution before the end? answers on a postcard

ozziepost I must confess that hearing that ziggy is still kicking doesn't make me too happy. Were you a member of the Cessnock cong then?

My mother was in her thirties, and yes, we did visit Tamworth once. Do you remeber anyone from Cessnock? I think I might spend some time and write down my little story. If it stops just one poor soul joining these misguided people it would be worth it.

How does a JW know if they are one of the annointed?
by carcroft congregation infirst time i have ever posted a message so my apologies if i am not as succinct in my use of language as some of the other contributors appear to be.
my cousin, who was in his late 20's at the time, announced that he was one of the 144,000 in the mid eighties.
his poor mother, who was scitzophrenic, was hospitalised as the shock sent her into an attack.

Sorry arancia, I wasn't saying that your answer was wet as a criticism of you, I was just saying it was wet that that is the best they can come up with. No wonder no JW will ever talk about it

Prisca, I was there from 88-92. This feels a bit strange because we probably met. You will not remember my name but may remember a story about a english woman and her 4 boys moving to Cessnock. The mother died shortly after and the boys moved in with their cousins. Then again maybe not. By the way, do you remeber Colin Umbers and Ziggy Vardis?

Thanks for this, but it all seems a bit wet really. Have they never come up with any proper test because they should all be dying out by now?

Hello all, First time I have ever posted a message so my apologies if I am not as succinct in my use of language as some of the other contributors appear to be. My cousin, who was in his late 20's at the time, announced that he was one of the 144,000 in the mid eighties. His poor mother, who was scitzophrenic, was hospitalised as the shock sent her into an attack. Apparantly she couldn't bear not living forever on Earth without her son. Anyway, because it was such a sensitive issue, I never asked at the time and as I am no longer a witness, although for reasons I might explain at some point not df'd, I was wondering if anyone knew how someone was supposed to know they were one of the "remnant". Is there a test the elders are supposed to do or something.
