and the reason for wanting to know? A fair request, Virgo. Roy Price felt that during the millennium the gospel would be preached by the 144,000 saints professing at the time the millennium started. If Roy is correct I wondered if the days of the millennium were drawing close. On my number estimate we are still a little 'shy'. But based on Wally's estimate there will still have to be a further falling away first. Sadly, there might still have to be a further convention or 2 closed up over the coming years. Helps with planning, you see. I see thanks for your answer to my question, but i do wonder if we really need to know? i know that God is in control

Matt. 11:18-19 Bert was expressing the idea: damned if you do; damned if you don't The enemy is those who criticize for numbering and those who criticize for no keeping record of numbers. 'cept jesus wasn't talking about numbers or keeping records at all and he didn't say 'your enemies will have it both ways' as Bert's quotation ran but instead he was talking about people judging the outside of the cup instead of paying attention to the message at the core. After not being able to even begin at putting down the message at the core of 2x2-ism its a farce to distract an honest question by twisting the bible to condemn estimating numbers or keeping records. Have to disagree aboout context. Jesus was comparing men's opinions of John the baptizer with opinions of himself. Bert wasn't quoting directly. He was pointing out that Jesus' enemies weren't consistent in what they expected.

George W wasn't struck dead when he didn't know how many 2 brazillions were. I don't even know what 1 brazillion is. I assume its related somehow to billions, and millions, and brazillians, and bazillians but I confess I have no idea how to parse that out. Doesn't 2 brazillions = 2 million Reals?

He was pointing out that Jesus' enemies weren't consistent in what they expected. Yeah we disagree. Bert was diverting. The question at hand was about numbering and Bert turned aside to personal attack instead of having an answer or anything like context. People who aren't directly quoting shouldn't say 'jesus said' when jesus didn't say and instead giving a spiritualized interpretation instead of the real quote in the real context. That Bert and other people cobble together this sort of non-answer and non-evidence doesn't make it right.
