Do JWs still believe the WT version of the 144000?
by nicolaou inthe society have taught for many years that only 144,000 individuals will have embraced true worship from the time when jesus (and presumably john the baptist six months before him) began his ministry in about 30 c.e.
when the great crowd began to be drawn in.. however, even a casual reading of the book of acts shows the phenomenal growth of christianity during the time of the apostles.
in colossians ch1 paul even makes the comment that the good news had at that point been preached to all creation that was under heaven.. in 64 c.e, there were so many christians in rome already that nero felt he could easily blame them for the destructive fire which had swept through the city.

by Shining One inhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20050902/cm_csm/ekatrina .

if a dummy like clinton (gore or kerry as well) had been in charge, who knows what would have happened!

200 Democrats have Changed Parties!
by czarofmischief inyep.
bush's moral clarity and steady resolve have provided enough of an example to influence 200 elected democrats to change over to the republican party since bush took office.. the democrat party is becoming ever more extreme, vile, and spineless with the loss of such good people, which cyclically drives even more good people out.
those who really want kerry to be president should take note.. remember, folks, today is the day we learned that we cannot negotiate.

Should they use the sacred name of God? YHWH
by Sirona innow you may think i'm a little slow to catch on here.
this morning was the first time it occurred to me that the jw's use of the tetragrammaton may actually be a huge insult to other faiths.
admittedly they use a modern day english version of the name of god - jehovah.
