The WTS taught that the great crowd was a secondary group in heaven until about 1932. ""Incidentally, this Washington convention proved to be outstanding for the new flash of truth as to the “great multitude” of Revelation 7:9, proving that its members are not a secondary spiritual class destined to go to heaven but that they are an earthly group identical with the “sheep” of Matthew 25:31-46, made known in 1923, and the “Jonadab” class revealed in 1932 with the release of Vindication, Volume 3.k (Vindication, Vol 3, pp. 77-80; W 1942, p. 374.)" WT 1955 7/1 p.394

24The Good News Is: The Great-Crowd-Of-Other-Sheep Do Not Exist
by Sea Breeze inthe watchtower conflates two different groups into one fictional church-age group that according to the watchtower, are saved by works and faith/membership in the jehovah witness organization.
according to watchtower, only the now mostly dead 144k receive the promises of god regarding justification .
everbody else missed the boat and must work for their justification for a thousand years.

What does the Catholic church think of JW?
by Halcon inon a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.
he simply stated that jw is tolerated by the church but that really not much thought is given to them.
is there an official stance on jw by the catholics?

Just a note: There is one place where God, Jesus, and the holy spirit (holy ghost) is mentioned in regard to baptism. Matthew 28:19 does say this in the King James Version (and the RNWT) "Matthew 28:19 in the King James Version reads: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" RNWT: Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,

What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety
by blondie inas recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.
do you remember this?
notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

Just a note KH does not equal congregation. KH is a building, congregation is a group of people. So the WTS is correct in this instance saying it means staying close to fellow members, most likely in the congregation they are currently attending. Some jws have expanded that to thinking that being inside a KH is a literal safe place. So if a mud slide is heading toward the KH you attend (or any KH) don't go there thinking the mud slide somehow won't destroy the building (and you if you are in it).

"I doubt the GB will end up in prison." Probably not, but huge money to pay out, but that doesn't get the attention of the WTS enough even, they just don't pay up and keep filing up and up until the reach the top, to the US Supreme Court, not yet. The WTS just lets the daily fines pile up.

Anony Mous, very little new building new KHs, focus on selling properties that were bought for pennies in comparison in the past, and now is prime real estate. Instead sell building/property and have congregations share buildings (in my area up to as many as 4). Or even, consolidate though the congregations sold out from under, have to travel far to an existing KH. The focus today is building large, large projects. Yes, there are a few KHs being built but the big push of the past has slowed down considerably. Haven't used volunteers much except jws skilled in the trades even if they have to come from farther away. The WTS has learned that holy spirit does make an unskilled jw a good carpenter or electrician. Even now the WTS does not rely on volunteers very much, but hires out construction to non-jw businesses, who do have the skills, for big projects.
