Admit It: You Wanted to Be One of the 144,000!!
by cameo-d inwhat do you think it takes to "qualify" to be one of the 144k?.
do you think it is just awarded for good behavior or does it have to be earned?
what do you think will be the duties of the 144k?.

Jehovah's Witnesses not a protestant religion? (from The Watchtower 2009)
by Joliette injehovahs witnesses do not consider themselves to be a protestant religion.
protestantism arose in 16th-century europe in an effort to reform the roman catholic church.
the word protestant was first applied to the followers of martin luther at the diet of speyer in 1529. since then, the term has generally come to describe all those who adhere to the tenets and goals of the reformation.

Spiritual spies
by Joey Jo-Jo ini have been reading coc and isocf in the train every morning and noticed some funny stuff occurring.. .
this witness (i knew because i have seen her before reading jw literature, she probably saw me as well before reading a jw book but we never spoke), she spotted somehow and knew that i was reading apostate books, i was on the far left of the train and she was on the far right, i have good peripheral vision and noticed her having a good look at me ( to advise the spiritual policemen) and when i turned my head to the right she would quickly look away, this happened on two occasions.. .
after a week or so i was sitting in the same spot and on the far left there was another women who i had never seen before, i didnt noticed her at all until i heard the noise of camera taking a picture (most likely a mobile making the noise of a camera when taking a picture, which most do), again i turned my head around to the right and she somehow magically fell asleep in an instance, one second she is taking a photo the other shes asleep ahahah.. .
