  in 1935 there were 63,146 who attended the memorial and 52,465 partook.

  (proclaimers book page 717).

  according to the bible teach book on page 78, it says, “since the days of the apostles, god has been selecting faithful christians in order to complete the number 144,000”.

  The idea that any "seats" are left for JWs to fill, let alone so many, is the height of arrogance.

  most of the people with skin problems have something in common.

  they feel their individuality is being threatened somehow and others have power over them as though they are feeling thin-skinned or things as tending to get under their skin.

  it is under the skin that our nerves function, and skin is the largest sense-organ which is like a blanket over the whole body, hence is a symbol of protection.

  i remember when that came out, my mother didn't catch it in the original article in the wt.

  it was in one of the review "do you remember" thingies that she caught it.

  she asked me if it means what she thought it meant.

  End of..
  And it should have been End of the religion.

  You are so right, but the current details still merit debunking to show how deep wt is in doctrinal free fall. or mired ever deeper in the mire of their own making. You got to admire their brazen disregard for the sheep though, who they keep for fleecing and slaughter.

  Jack Barr died December 4, 2010.

  Ordinary wt anointed overlappers are not barred from the generation, even if they are not of the GB.

  Although David Splane gave Fred Franz's as an age example , he admitted there would be older ordinary anointed, both in the 1914 group and the overlapping little flock.

  Taking him by his word, from 1992, the year of Franz's departure, or later, there would be more than 80 years after that.so,

  Not only is the dual group generation a brazen redefining of the terms, looking at the age of the players involved, stretches it on and on. Besides,

  The generation can not be the anointed, nor the other sheep.

  God is in no necessity to communicate with mankind

  here is an interesting incident reported in the bible.. judah (the fourth son of jacob), the founder of the israelite tribe of judah, slept with her daughter-in-law tamar when she showed herself up as a prostitute in disguise.

  (genesis 38:16, 17) “about three months later judah was told: "your daughter-in-law tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.

  " judah said, "bring her out and have her burned to death!

  How come for the first 2000 years since creation God/Jehovah never recorded or had written down by anyone including Noah or any of his sons that historical record

  How come for the first 30 years nobody was prodded from above to put what was supposed to be the beginning of the final act aka New testament, into writing either?

  let it stew and ferment first?

  PS: it might be all BS, but obviously if there is a creator, he, wants us to retro engineer everything, she knows, there is no better way to learn,-- except through humour.

  Do the psalms not say "--God is laughing--"?

  Thousands of Rohingya rape victims expected to give birth ctvnews.ca

  hate to go off topic, but since this is an all serious news rant.

  Here we have tens of thousands of rape victims giving birth in refugee camps.Help should be given,These are Muslim ladies, and there is big money in that large community. and then a compulsory genetic testing of all possible suspects, and an eradication of the perpetrators.

  If every company was like starbucks amazon and google governments and councils would go bust.The only way that the police army navy are paid for is by taxes.

  Perhaps Europe, and North America have more "slackers" on their pay roll than soldiers.

  at least the big army of wt slaves are supposed to be self sustained, but are they not subsidized too?

  What about all the multinational companys that hardly pay any tax at all.

  The likes of google create oodles of jobs, are creative, their workers pay taxes,* . which can not be said for the artful livers off unwitting, unwilling hosts.

  let him who does not want to work---

  *Governments can not get enough of the googles, musks, Amazons. Creativity should be rewarded more, sloth punished.
