The heavenly rulers up there are supposed to represent a cross section of all human experience, so expect to have all kinds of "anointed', and we do!.
jezebels, with ruling experience, need not apply, ruling ( or want to) already.
another recent topic got me thinking.
has there ever been any kind of study of the ratio of male to female anointed?
if the female anointed will be co-rulers in heaven with morris and company, why are they not represented as gb members and helpers before armageddon arrives?.

i said god is not giving them much of a chance to hear his message, i think it's one to 3 million ratio.
i said if wt paid prime internet space they could beam their propaganda to everyone instantly, then you could show the world mr lett live , and explain how he is to rule the world from heaven.
then i asked that god seems to like the anglo nations , i should of asked how many chinese and indian are on the gb..
Bangladeshi already have their true religion. are expanding into Myanmar.
They disfellowship using sharp instruments. Anointed would find it a shortcut to their destiny there. Rev, 20. the axe.
i have not been to a meeting for about 2 years now.
i do not intend to go back but one thing has me baffled.
why do ones that have faded and been out for years return?
they would go back for the same reason they did not leave,
They did not leave because of erroneous wt beliefs, and they will fit right in where they are returning to.
Truth does not matter to those in the so-called "truth".
anything i should be aware of?
i am not sure i will go, since i just moved away from home a month ago.
it is not cheap to travel 250km and pay for hotel here in denmark, and i am not exactly rich.
The peace outside, away from the assemblies is amazing.
we are asked to not love money, work ot (i was never asked because the company had money to give away, rather had a job that needed done), no extra schooling.. then when we read the literature they make a big deal of the ones who are rich.
so proud of abraham, david, and on.
remember lydia?
do not comsider the GB to be the "least of Christ's brothers"
road to nowhere: right on. Giving to a billion $ corporation is not what Jesus had in mind when he drove home the point that you do not know who any, certainly the anonymous least of his brothers is supposed to be.
i would really like to read the thoughts of an creationist as they lie on their deathbed.
their honest thoughts.
their terrors.
You on the booze? My consciousness is always guaranteed
sbf: I have had several operations, a heart attack, knocked myself unconscious in a fall (removed memory of how it happened too), but was always alive. so, to be alive does not guarantee experiencing it. How could being dead guarantee continues or restarted experience? and then the creator removing such unproven certainty?
jesus taught a surviving generation, a group inhering everlasting life, an escape route to avoid a global disaster worse than the flood, a generation that "will not pass away--" an infinite generation.
wt teaches a generation that dies, ends, passes away, at the first sign of real trouble, the great tribulation.. what do you believe about this wt assertion?
(apart from that there is no talking snake, it is all irrelevant).
quoted by BAD_WOLF: Only the survivors of Armageddon would be the Generation that does not pass away, and the Anointed are not it. wt take note.
A bible secret the WT seem to not understand.....
Revelation 3:10 talks of those who will be exempted and kept from the so called great tribulation. The great tribulation for those who didn't prove themselves. That scripture alone throws out the entire WT teaching about the GT of the bible.
i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.
says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.
i said no way and asked what year he was born.
Only the survivors of Armageddon would be the Generation that does not pass away, and the Anointed are not it. wt take note. as quoted from Waton.
Bad-Wolf; good point added to that argument. thanks. Rev. 3:10, ".. I will keep you from the hour of test.." which is equivalent of saying that because of the chosen ones, the tribulation will be cut short.chosen ones in Isaiah 65? building houses? you have a pm. can't get rid of the yellow, pepsodent?

The reason why Lazarus again died a Christian or JW would say , is he was resurrected before Jesus died for mans sins.
CS: if that is so, why are the resurrection and death of the knitter Dorcas and the sleeper at meetings Eutychus, who happened to pay for their sins after Jesus did it already earlier, and delivered that value to heaven, not a ransom too?
3. Then it was Jesus evidently meant anybody born in 1914, that generation wouldn't die until the end.
Bad Wolf:
3a) would not die until way after the end and if "anointed" administer the establishment of paradise, well into the 1000year reich.

But if there is a God then he's the only one with the power to prevent an afterlife if he wishes.
sbf: you make it sound as if an afterlife is an automatic, given condition. In my experience, even while alive, consciousness is not guaranteed.
