Preperation for Armageddon
by Listener ini dislike the way that the publications promote such excitement for armageddon.
i have only ever met one jw that actually suggested that anyone dying beforehand may be fortunate as they will not have to face the horrors of armageddon.
anyway, it would make a lot of sense if the gb somehow focused on preservation during this time as many will die due to the nature of what will occur.

Jesus as Mediator
by Listener ini was stunned when i read that according to jws jesus is not the mediator to all those baptized and this is not available to all mankind although the benefit of his position as mediator is.
they believe that only the annointed with the heavenly hope have jesus as their mediator.. i cannot understand why they tell all jws that they must pray through jesus christ.
if he is not the 'great crowds' mediator then wouldn't it be wrong the pray through jesus?

Resurrection Question
by Listener ini've been doing a little research and can't quite understand the jw doctrine on resurrection.. firstly there are the annointed, in the new convenant and hence those only faithfull after jesus time on earth.
so it is all those from jesus' time to the time the jws decided there was a great crowd, around about 1935 and a handful since then.
then there is the others that died before jesus time and the great crowd that die before the end of armageddon starting around about 1935 onwards... is this correct?

Randy Watters -- WT admits 144,000 may not be the limit
by FatFreek 2005 ini, along with many others, received our latest freeminds email.
i was shocked at the following underlined statement.. the second thing they are emphasizing is that those who claim to be of the "anointed" (now that they have admitted the number may not be limited to 144,000) not only have no say into what goes into the watchtower magazine, and have no special knowledge or place in jehovah's organization, so don't look to them for answers.
the governing body is the faithful and discreet slave as far as the jws are to be concerned.

1975 - Lest We Forget
by GetBusyLiving ini find the topic of the 1975 end of the world scenario facinating, especially since i never lived through it.
do you old schoolers ever feel concerned that people will one day forget about what really went down?
with whitewashed tripe like the 'proclaimers' book informing dubs that it was just the false expectations of over enthusiastic apostates, are you at all concerned that the legacy of bullshit that is 1975 will be a forgotten moment in history blamed on you instead where the blame really belongs?

What happened to the questions in the Watchtower and why?
by Listener incould someone please advise why the questions for public study on a sunday are no longer in the watchtower?.
also a while ago now the gatherings in private homes during the week for study also stopped.. i was told that it was in preparation of armageddon so that individuals could become more independant and have more time to establish their relationship directly with jehovah.
this was because the gb felt people were relying on the organization too much in providing their spiritual needs and with armageddon it may be that jws will not be able to access the support network that they currently have.

The Annointed - how do they know?
by Listener into me this is a serious matter as the annointed are the basis of how the organization is set up and operates.
yet i have great difficulty in understanding how these people know that they are annointed.
does the bible actually say that they will know?

by nicolaou inthis isn't a 'prove god exists' thread, it's a 'what if' thread .

what if god were to actually show himself so that nobody could doubt his existence?.
