Another epic fail, who told you that people go to heaven at a standard rate of 72
persons per year? Did you make that up, yes you did, please tell the forum what YOU
will do in heaven once you get there, that is correct, you will be a king and a priest, to
rule over what? please tell the forum how the righteous will inherit the earth, if all
good people go to heaven, that is correct, you cannot, all in all, you have no clue and
you can only do what you always do, make things up.
I have no issues with 144,000 persons ruling with Christ and making up a heavenly
government, why, because i know that its based on the original temple arrangement,
which i can explain as being a type, or pattern, you do not know anything in this
regard, that is why, you continue to make stupid and ill informed statements.

I meant the claim about the 144,000. galveston75 and robbie corrobie will have to concede that it's true?
evident for anyone to see, as if God selects the same number of persons every
year??? How does he know that, that is correct he doesn't and that is why his post
along with all the others are not worth arguing over, there is practically nothing of
substance to them.
someone certainly left to their own devices, 4sure
Originally posted by robbie carrobieHe didn't say that God selects 72 people a year, that's what it works out on average. Read the text before jumping headlong in.

Originally posted by Proper Knobhe is trying to portray it like it is, that's why he highlighted his text in bold, to give

the appearance. He typically makes assertions on conditions that cannot be known and
then proceeds to make a case for his assertions on the basis of something that cannot
be known, this is another example. If its impossible to state how many persons God
selects every year yet is he making an issue about it? It reflective of the way he
operates, its simply not worth the effort.
Originally posted by Proper KnobNo, his gripe is not about the 72 people per year that he says it averages out to over the last 200 years. It is unfortunate that he highlighted that bit.

His gripe is that JW doctrine says that said 144,000 in total people will go to 'JW Heaven' and that there are many more JW's on the planet right now and through the ages there have been even more in total. He understood that JW doctrine was that 144,000 are saved and the rest get left to the same fate as is reserved all the non-believers. This seems unfair to hundreds of thousands of devout JWs that will get missed.
I think you may have cleared this up though. I think you are saying there are actually 3 levels:
144,000 select JW's get to go to heaven.
The remaining JW's get to live an idyllic life on Earth.
Everyone else is doomed to go to Hell (or whatever the JW equivalent is).
Is this what you are saying? And also, is this actually the official JW doctrine?

of how many witnesses are living on the planet at present, then he is basing an
argument on an unknown variable and proceeding to draw some kind of correlation on
the basis of his unknown variable and to draw some kind of conclusion from it.
