Issue of universal sovereignty not settled until after 1000 year reign!
by yadda yadda 2 inthe watchtower soc and others say that the bible teaches that jehovah is allowing time to pass so that evidence can build up to prove that man cannot live and govern himself independently of god.
the argument is made that god has tolerated wickedness so that the evidence can gradually accumulate against satan's claim that god's might does not necessarily give him the right to rule and that man can rule himself successfully without god's direct governance.
when armageddon breaks out, it is said that the evidence will be conclusive that man could not rule himself independently of god and the devil's claims were false.. the analogy is put forward that this drama is being played out like some great universal court case in heaven, with judges sitting examing evidence being presented to assess the devil's claims.

Saul and David: Two Concurrent "Annointed" Channels
by Justitia Themis inthis is an excerpt from a jw email that was posted in another thread:.
i believe it is completely inappropriate for a christian to go against what the fds says, because they are the anointed of jehovah.
king saul here, he was evil, he was a person who was detestable in the eyes of god, yet, as a faithful servant of god, david did not dare thrust his hand against jehovah's anointed.

What's in a number?
by Slappy injust came across this as i was reading through some thoughts; perhaps it's been shared here, i do not know.
to be truly honest, i developed a headache trying to follow all of it, but perhaps there are those that are more knowledgeable of such things that will have an easier time of understanding it than i. again, i'm not trying to make a point or start an argument; i just found it interesting and thought to share it.
i know that if one looks hard enough at something, he/she can make things appear that aren't really there, but still, something on this scale even makes that explanation hard to justify.

when did he have the time to follow a 'religious' body and adhere to its rules in order that he may attain salvation?
