Did Jehovah's Witnesess talk with heavenly saints (24 elders)?

Question

The Watchtower Society said so... please see Watchtower Magazine 01/01/07 page 28 & 11,12.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Friend, I don't have to read the watch tower book, The answer is NO, they did not talk to the 24 Elders, They don't even know who those 24 elders is, ask them the next time, & see if they will agree with those 24 elders being the 12 tribes of Israel & the 12 Apostles. That is those 24 elders around the throne.

Answer 2

Neither the January 1, 2007 issue of "The Watchtower",nor any other publication of Jehovah’s Witnesses has EVER pretended that any humans today converse with any angels.

Jehovah's Witnesses have long explained that mankind is living during "the Lord's Day" or 'the conclusion of this system of things' when the signs of Matthew 24 and 2 Timothy 3:1-7 are fulfilled. The following passage helps bible students to understand that angels do take an active role in directing true Christianity toward the pursuit of purity and toward the rejection of impurity in their worship. "Talking" between heaven and earth is not indicated by this passage's prophetic words, but interestingly... the stumbling and anger from formerly true Christians are mentioned.

(Matthew 13:39-43) The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in [or during] the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom [the Christian congregation; see Col 1:13] all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace [outside the congregation]. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.


While it is always interesting to review the plain truth of a matter, it is sad that there are so many opportunities to expose the pattern of innuendo and deceit used against Jehovah's Witnesses (John 8:44).

Answer 3

That isn't what that said. Where do you people get this stuff.
Is that the only religion out there? If I was in a foreign country and read answers I would assume that Jehovah's Witnesses was the most prominent religon in the USA. They certainly get the most coverage.
Listen up guys!!!! They are a small group of people who don't get involved in politics they don't even vote. They don't believe in going to war over anything. No American soldier was ever killed by one of Jehovah's Witnesses. No Muslim, No buddhist, or anyone else. They keep to their self and don't bother anyone.
Except they are out preaching love and peace and god is going to fix everything. For that they are hated?
They have no hate schools where they teach violence. They are totally against demonstrateing against the government.
So they do not picket or object to anything the government does.
Do not make dispargareing remarks about the president they think that is wrong. Or the Republican party.
They do not believe in abortion.
They do not accept gays.
They are against premartial sex, anyone who does that is kicked out. It is difficult to get in and real easy to get kicked out.
They are not a cult because it is real easy to get out.
Just say the word and your out.
So that is the truth of the matter.
someone said they don't take blood, because their is like AIDS and VD and a bunch of stuff. They do go to the Doctor because my friend is one and she goes all the time.
Now have I cleared up all the misconceptions???
Oh, as to your question I asked if they talked to angels? She said "absolutely not"

Answer 4

What do I think?
I think you are sensationalizing.

It does refer to the possibility of the 24 elders communicating ideas to that organization. But it does NOT say its a 2-way conversation.
Plus, the word 'IF' is there and in par.12 "this cannot be directly confirmed."
They seem to be speculating (which is not a good idea) however, don't grab a simple comment and re-shape it.

Answer 5

of course not, all religions have a claim of that kind. this guy from this other christian church said (to a person next to me) that Jesus had talked to him in a dream the night before.
yeah.... of course....

Answer 6

Answer 7
