Why the need for 144000 imperfect humans to Rule with Christ Jesus for 1000 years ? Is he incapable of ruling by himself ?

by smiddy in

does this make any sense whatsoever ?

isnt jesus christ the king ?why the need for 144000 king priests to help him ?.

is he not up for the job?

According to WT Jehovah had his perfect first born in heaven with him when he created everything... So, now this perfect virgin King Priest Christ.... He needs 144,000 lowly??? imperfect ones from the earth to help him pick out and choose who has been naughty and who has been nice??? Who to pick to stay (live) and who has to leave (die)?

A little off topic. Have you ever had discussions about why certain ones were "picked" to rule with Jesus in heaven??? One of the areas I lived in was an older sister who became a Dub soon after she was married to an unbeliever. Shortly after that (in the 1950's) she professed to be of the anointed class. The reasoning going 'round was that Jesus needed help in searching hearts and so this sister was picked because she knew how hard it was to be a faithful Dub and reg pioneer for decades, along with all the struggles she had with an unbelieving mate.... And I believed it all (at the time). Makes, for total nonsense to me now.

Ex wife getting a heart operation

by greenhornet in

my kids mother is getting a new heart valve.

there upset because she is making sure no blood is to be used and her jw cronies will be with her making it hard for my kids even to visit her in the hospital.

can jws get a pigs heart valve now and is her request by having no blood make this procedure difficult for the surgin for a successful operation?.

GreenHornet what I find ridiculously odd about this situation is that your JDub wife is praying for "God's" help in this serious situation. She is most likely praying for god to help this worldly surgeon so nothing goes wrong. Before the surgery, after the surgery, in her mind, all the doctors, all the hospital personnel will be bird food at WT's Big "A"... but just let god's holy spirit work on the hospital staff... so everything goes well for her.

Your exwife most likely is in well educated and experienced people's hands. I think one factor for JDubs going in for an operation is that they calmly (I hate to say, calmly but I do) relax because they truly feel if something bad happens, they will wake up in that promised panda petting paradise.

Every operation has satistics. Doctors want a successful operating outcome just as much as the patient does.

Reassure your children that their mom is not the first one at this rodeo and most likely, will be 99% fine.

When my ex had major heart bypass surgery, he was up and about in no time. A fellow elder, a nice man, at a different hospital, same operation, bled out in the recovery room and died.

Will you be there to support your children through this? Life with divided families can be difficult. I know.

HOUSE, M.D., Jehovah's Witnesses, and '75

by compound complex in

season 7, episode 18: "the dig".

house picks up "thirteen" -- dr. remy hadley -- upon her release from prison.

she asks him to take her to a certain location in order to take care of a personal matter.

JDubs are a tiny portion of the human race. Who's to say that amongst us ex's, one of us, did become a writer for a successful TV show???

Yay, who ever you are!

My 2 cents is it wasn't a "worldly" guy who wrote the line. I really don't think the world much remembers what a tiny fraction of religious nutters preached and taught. Since, apparently... nuttin' happened.

I love "House". Great entertainment.

OldGoat. Two hours ago... I remember singing that song but not that song book.

...Praise the Lord less He be angry and you do perish in His Day...

Something about Warriors.

I have been going to the KHall since diapers. I keenly remember the soft moss green one that was after this red one.

How old are you OldGoat???

Mom died, How and When I found out

by 3rdgen in

hi friends,.

it's been awhile since i've been talkative.

thought i'd give you an account of my latest family dysfunction.. a brief backstory is that i am an only child whose parents were born in jw's.

LoisLane looking for Superman

3rdgen I read this and I am speechless. From your posting, and your offer to talk on the phone, which we did, I know you are an outstanding person! I cry for you for the pure insanity of it all. How these mothers act one way with the child they decide to pick on, and how they act in public to others, really can mess with one's head.

Let your husband love you and hold you and know that all of us, your 'other family' here on JWN think the world of you. You are a beloved member that has shared so much tragedy with us. Please, let this new year of 2017 be a very peaceful and happy one for you.

Big hugs of love, sympathy and caring for you. You deserve to have a wonderful and beautiful life. Your mother is now gone. You are a good person that deserved to have the best mother. I am sorry it was not that way...

The Metropolitan Museum Oasis Bible Tours in NYC

by Beachlover in

i just came home from a day in nyc and was taken to the met for the the woman and her offspring tour i went to keep peace and just enjoy my family.

i've been to the metrpolitan museum of art on many occasions and have enjoyed spending time wandering thru the exhibits appreciating the art and history.

since all family members wanted to do the tour by the wts entitled a woman and her offspring, i thought i could just follow along and just enjoy the art and exhibits.. in all honesty, i'm still amazed at this whole tour.

To the OP that everything is 90% pagan...

I overheard a very zealous older sister say just this past summer, that in Paradise... there will be no books... because they were (apparently???) all written by unbelievers.

I feel so sorry for her.

Beachlover... I know you were in a tight position, you did really well not losing it on this big jerk.

I wish you all the very best with your waking up and fade.

That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

by new boy in

it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Long story, short.

When the man I loved, married someone else...

I was devastated and didn't really care what course my life took, but I knew I couldn't take it seeing them at assemblys etc, so I ended up moving away, marrying someone I barely knew who was a psychopath. The first time he hit me, we wern't even married a month. He made me believe I was the one that was crazy. I believed him. I lived with a plastic smile permanently etched to my face, praying fervently for armageddon... and paradise, just around the corner.

Going through a divorce and reading CofC, totally changed my life for... the better! Next, having a small trust fund, and using it as a down payment on a house, that I just moved into recently, has finally given me my balance back, along with a real smile. I love where I live. My shangra la. It has taken me many years to get here. I would like a superman in my life... Who knows? Just keep living. There are actually many pleasant surprises out there... But you have to be alive to embrace them.

Jim Pipkorn is dead.

by new boy in

friends

he had been in poor health for quite awhile, with a bad heart.

i was trying to call him for over a week with no response.

last sunday night i had a dream about him.

LoisLane looking for Superman

So sorry for your loss new boy.

The law of averages... A few weeks ago, out of no where, I dreamt that an old acquaintance had died and I was at the funeral home comforting her 2 sons and grandchildren. There is a poster here who knows her and goes to the same Hall. He assured me in a private message recently, that she is alive and well.

I don't doubt your OP at all. I have heard of similar stories as yours, happening, as in close friends, loved ones, being visited after death to say good bye.

How do you feel about it?

Is Satan really the bad guy in story of creation?

by evilApostate in

i wanted to take an objective look at satan in the story of creation.

this is not meant to offend those of you who are still christians.

i'm agnostic btw.

I must say, I like this topic and appreciate all of your commentary.

I know I am not "dumb" (I was a born in and only woke up 4 1/2 years ago. Is that an excuse???) but I have never even thought of any of these great questions and statements.

Is this on topic or off? This question: Was God then, the first psychopath?
