My self esteem is not that low that I would feel like a peon. I was always under the impression that the 144,000 were the ones that were going to be ruling with Christ, and that didn't make me feel less or think of them as more.
The fact of the matter is, I look to them for guidence now.....so the difference isn't that big of a stretch anyway.
I am curious to be able to have an answer about the whole thing, but I know that they are not degrading me by saying, "oh, poor low you, all you get is paradise on earth!" Please. I don't see anything wrong with Jehovah's gift of paradise to me. You seem to want to instil the impression they think I am some kind of dog or something.
