Just downloaded "The Finished Mystery"
by sd-7 in...and wow.
i read the first page of the publisher's preface, and...my gosh, how in the heck did anyone feel this was worth going to jail over?
how is it possible that everyone who read this book of the "clergy of christendom" didn't just laugh in rutherford's face and call him a nutcase and just move on?

The "Other Sheep" & 144,000 & other Revelation thoughts
by sd-7 inrevelation 5:9, 10, which speaks of people from all nations being made a kingdom and priests, ruling "over the earth"?
realizing that if the "other sheep" are gentiles, i would therefore need to find some explanation for this scripture.
for me, i find a need to understand what this 144,000 concept means in connection with it all.. well, i spent some time yesterday reading scriptures and pondering it.

The "Other Sheep"
by sd-7 inthis is a thought i'd pondered before, and i accidentally discovered it while going over the daily text with my wife--i wasn't paying attention at all to the "disobedience is common in satan's world, everybody but jws is mentally diseased, etc., etc.
", so...that's how i found it.. john 10:16: "and i have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also i must bring...and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
" we can add significantly that jesus said he was only sent to "the lost sheep of the house of israel".

Proverbs 4:18
by sd-7 inmuch has been said about this oft-cited scripture: "the light gets brighter.
" this is, of course, used as justification for the apparently arbitrary changes in doctrine handed down by the governing body.
examining this scripture in its context may help us understand its meaning.. proverbs 4:14-19: "into the path of the wicked ones do not enter, and do not walk straight on into the way of the bad ones.
