  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  Who says there are only 144 000 places•

  Rev 14:3 limited#

  Fm: right, that description is limited to the environment around the "Lamb". Surely you are not ignorant of the vast areas and timeframes of "heavenly" happenings ? not to speak of the other open biblical heavens, the bird's domain and the cosmos, from which "satan" is expelled, but that is being explored by his subjects?

  The heavens are not limited to the 144 000. but

  like the mothers of james and John, in Jesus day, wt likes to think it can stack that limited area around Jesus with its adherents.

  sacrificial death is required (Rev,20) , not partaking. all should slurp and nibble, . jesus served it to all, all earthly hopers. (even he had the right to life on earth, that he sacrificed).

  Since the heavenly hope was the only “calling” throughout the centuries

  Fm: really? Peter, the rock, wrote of "awaiting a New heaven and a NEW EARTH."

  At the last supper, Jesus served the emblems to people with an earthly hope. billions partook since, the fact that they did not believe in the overlapping groups does not matter. Wt doctrine, or any amalgam of it, is erroneous and irrelevant to the great universal scheme.

  With "heaven" having so many meanings, how about a material heavenly hope, seeding life on trillions of heavenly bodies with heavenly (perfect} bodies, carrying proven good qualities from the experience here, -- revived there?

  Who says there are only 144 000 places ? that elite numbers is just the Groom's entourage (wherever he goes) There were already millions and millions of angels, , and possible places (many mansions) for that many more newcomers.

  imho. you are taking this house of cards structure of the talking snake story too seriously. The magnificent universe before us tells a more glorious picture than that pathetic tale's denouement. .

  where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?

  1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

  if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  is there any new music or singers whatsoever nowadays or just junk?

  and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

  Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?

  trump's first wife and mother of his children died recently.

  they had her buried on his golf course.

  do you think this is tacky or a savvy business move since it'll now get them some tax breaks as a cemetery?.

  I wish here in these neck of the woods, they would open up these golf areas for burial, for lack of space in the full cemetary. what a nice manicured lawn to be laid to rest, and people having a ball over your remains, not just your beneficiaries. ( not wt inc btw. )

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  they will never be co-rulers with Jesus in heaven (or on the Earth during the 1,000 years). In support of that consider the following:

  DJW: ----Rev. 20:4

  to" rule:--- executed with the axe, for witnessing to Jesus and speaking about GOD."

  to rule for the millenium you can not die in the warwick infirmary.***

  so,

  GB, witness to Jesus, and take up an assignment in Afghanistan or surroundings and witness to Jesus, or speak about any god but Eli, as Jesus did on His dying breath.

  PS:*** partaking is easy. billions have.

  In a documented testament, or will, the name of the benefactor might have to be identified only once.

  the name of the executor on the other hand appear often, on all papers assigning dispersals.
