You couls try to understand it, but it is impossible, because it is rot any way. Borg reasoning is flawed at best. The number was filled way before this century or the last if...IF... it were in fact literal.

Has anyone counted Parttakers as published in the yearbook?
by STILLINWANTOUT ini was just wondering if anyone has ever counted the yearly parttakers.
2005-8524.. based on these numbers 36373 has been anointed in four years alone.
am i mistaken to understand that the 144000 is to go to heaven and are apart of the anointed class and therefore these part takers are also going to heaven.

Awesome article. I don't often get in here to post these days.... 5 years free!!! But you have summarized it nicely. This is a keeper.
How cool to cut and paste it and send it to all our JW buddies and challenge them to read it!
Most would delete it straight away or stare blankly up into the corner of the ceiling and then delete it!

Wasn't there a piece written on silent lambs some years back, about him being accused by a woman for molestation when he was a c/o?

Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On
by MrFreeze ini'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.
i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.
i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

Not to spin the wheels of my car in the k-hall carpark... "it doesn't consolidate the gravel surface"...
What about some of the bs that I had to counsel people on?... Not to quote worldly sources when giving a talk... Not to play Laser-force... Not to drink sherry before the meetings! [that guy ended up the p/o!!] if i try hard I could think up many more...
Pathetic really

Am I the only one who thought the GB was 100% correct when they were a JW?
by NiceDream ina few months ago i began researching my doubts on the internet about the wtbts and i came across a bunch of crazy facts.
this helped me realize this isn't "the truth.".
when i was growing up, i believed the society was always right, and we needed to obey what was in the publications.

I was the same. I bought it all. I remember going on and on about how no other church had the GB!!! What an idiot. The reason is because is is not scriptural. A self proclaimed title to make the members of it MORE important, holy, better and must be believed over common sense that anyone else.
Arrrrrgggghhhh I can still get mad about it after being 5 years clean!

The Witnesses are freaking out
by Sour Grapes ini still go to a few meetings a month just to keep members of my family happy.. the witnesses seemed to be getting all worked up about how close the end.
it sorta feels like the 1975 era only 35 years later.

When I was a kid in the 60's they used to say it is just around the corner..... then some bright spark changed it to "it not around the corner any more, we are stading right in front, it is staring us headon"...
Fear and Guilt... it never changes.

Hi All,
My wife and I were "raised" in the borg. We got out [by means of fading] 5 years ago! [That deserves a cellebration!!] The pedophile issue ripped our blinders off, but it took a few years and some very good books to give us enough information to be strong enough to stop attending.
I had been an elder for 11 years, and thought I understood it all! How dumb can you be? We are so glad to be out of it. What a way NOT to live your life. Our families are wasting their lives away for something that is not ever going to happen.

JWs... You are not unique! take a look at this. My research
by Aussie Oz inin my research i have decided to go waaaay back.
so, one of the first things i did was look at the beginnings with regard to charles taze russell.. while this may be old news to many, this is indeed new to me.
and i want to tell this to the jws that are no doubt on here too.. you are an adventist sect.. without posting the expanded (very long) version of my research, i will post the basics that lead me to this conclusion.. how unique are jehovahs witnesses?

Hi Oz,
Good info. If russell were to come back to life today and preach what he did back then even though his dogmas were obviously approved by the christ in 1919 [rutherford hadn't had time to change a great many of them yet] he would be DFed for apostatcy!

Worst Witness Wedding Experience?
by spawn inwe went to oz for a wedding of a brother and sister from the sydney bethel.
it was the most bizzare wedding of all time, the cake was a multi coloured telitubby creation and the veggie food option was baby octopus and squid, the alcohol was free flowing and all bethelites in attendance took full advantage.
we were sat listening to the speaches and it was getting rowdier and rowdier and some of the language was rather unscriptual to say the least, as it was mixed jw and non jw we were surprised to find that all of this noise came from the bethelites.

My wifes Father was the official JW wedding celebrant for our whole area for many years. She went to more weddings than she cares to remember. The one that stands out was her cousins. The mother of the bride to be, did her circuit a favor by buying up all the unused and thawed chicken left over from a circuit assembly. She promptly refroze it and saved it as the main dish at the wedding reception. 2 people nearly died! Lots ended up either in hospital or at home with severe food poisoning.
She was dragged into the backroom, but not much could really be done to her. The local health authorities were also very interested in what had happened.
My wife said as they were driving home they would drive past a car load of people all on the side of the road spewing their guts out, then they would have to pull over and do the same!!

When I got my brother to read the questions from readers about Jesus being the mediator of the 144K only, he said: "oh well, that's how it is then!"
He wasn't phased about losing his mediator. I had asked him if Jesus was his mediator and he said that he was. Then this!
It will be exactly the same with this "new" revelation. suckered for many years to come.
