    No, no, au contraire.
    There were JW with Adam's family, not the Adams Family.
    There were JW acting as sherpas when Moses climbed the mountain to receive the 10 commandments.
    There were JW on the Ark. They gave comfort to the animals.
    There were JW at the base of the cross.
    On and on and so it goes. All those other Christians were, well, let's just say they didn't measure up.

    And now perhaps my point is getting through as to the magnitude of the insult.
    So many countless, life sacrificing Christians who not only built the foundations of their belief but greased the machine with their own blood to come to this age and find that somebody else has taken all 144,000 seats in Heaven.

    They are lovely people, no doubt, dedicated, kind, would make the best next door neighbour, but they have a number of beliefs that are highly offensive to other Christians and all other religions and nothing can open their eyes to this fact.

    The following was written about the "Abomination of Desolation" To me it is abundantly clear and self-evident.

    Immediately after the oppression of those days"--they refer to the time when men shall become oppressed and afflicted, the time when the lingering traces of the Sun of Truth and the fruit of the Tree of knowledge and wisdom will have vanished from the midst of men, when the reins of mankind will have fallen into the grasp of the foolish and ignorant, when the portals of divine unity and understanding--the essential and highest purpose in creation--will have been closed, when certain knowledge will have given way to idle fancy, and corruption will have usurped the station of righteousness. Such a condition as this is witnessed in this day when the reins of every community have fallen into the grasp of foolish leaders, who lead after their own whims and desire. On their tongue the mention of God hath become an empty name; in their midst His holy Word a dead letter. Such is the sway of their desires, that the lamp of conscience and reason hath been quenched in their hearts, and this although the fingers of divine power have unlocked the portals of the knowledge of God, and the light of divine knowledge and heavenly grace hath illumined and inspired the essence of all created things, in such wise that in each and every thing a door of knowledge hath been opened, and within every atom traces of the sun hath been made manifest. And yet, in spite of all these manifold revelations of divine knowledge, which have encompassed the world, they still vainly imagine the door of knowledge to be closed, and the showers of mercy to be stilled. Clinging unto idle fancy, they have strayed far from the Oneness of God, of divine knowledge. Their hearts seem not to be inclined to knowledge and the door thereof, neither think they of its manifestations, inasmuch as in idle fancy they have found the door that leadeth unto earthly riches, whereas in the manifestation of the Revealer of knowledge they find naught but the call to self-sacrifice.
