I guess I've never heard the word "stone" when referring to weight... I saw it in another Yahoo Answers question and I was wondering exactly what the word means... How heavy is a stone? How many stones do I weigh? Do other cultures/countries use stones instead of pounds or kilos? Thanks for any answers.

According to the Bible there are 2 different kinds of people that will be in the Kingdom of Jehovah God. The first is the Little Flock. These are the ones that go from Earth to Heaven to help Christ rule the earth as kings and priests for the 1,000 years that Satan is in the Abyss. These people are numbered in the Bible as a sealed # so not one more or less will be a part of it. They are called the anointed and they # 144,000 brought from the earth. This "other sheep'' you are asking about are also called the Great Crowd that no one can number that will be in the earth after Armageddon to clean up the earth and get it ready for the resurrection of those that have died as the Bible says. As a side note: tonight is the Memorial of Christ's death in every Kingdom Hall all over the world. Those that partake of the unleavened bread and wine are of the anointed that are still on the earth. The time for this event is 7:30. All are welcome to attend and if you don't have a ride then call your local Kingdom Hall and someone will be happy to take you. Such a special night for all of mankind as it's the actual day he died according to the Greek calendar that was used in Christ's day.

A stone is equal to 14 pounds. So you can do the multiplication.

Being English, I have to convert weights like "156 pounds" to stone before I can understand what they mean.
