Except there is only one High Priest and that is Jesus. The 144000 are just priests under him.
No one can be a High Priest after Jesus' Resurrection, which is why the Judaism is no longer God's priesthood or exclusive people. That ended with his death and shown by the taring of the curtain in the Temple. It was no longer God's house or Temple. Over and done.
They are virgins because they are pure, found without blemish before God, all spiritual. Male and female.
They are firstfruits because they are the first to be part of the kingdom. Just like Jesus was the first fruit of the resurrection, not first to be resurrected but first to be resurrected to eternal life.
Yes pure from this world that Jesus taught to be no part of--the govts and false religions that are misleading-99%

You are correct, I missed the high in high priest. So no Hannibal we are not in agreement.
I am wondering what you find is ' Not about the NT ' as found at www.jw.org __________
They do have some truths that are written in the bible as do all denomination of christianity.
They teach - no trinity
They teach - no immortal soul
They teach - no eternal torment but then they teach eternal destruction.
They teach - Michael the Archangel(chief messenger) was Jesus prior to earth but they say Jesus is a
created angel
They teach - only 144,000 are going to heaven. Yes and no. Yes only 144,000 in this age, salvation
for all, in time, in their own order, all will go to heaven.
They rest of what they believe is what falls from the back end of a donkey.
jesus teachings are found in the new testament not the watchtower and bible tact society
I have studied Jesus and his teachings in many translations. There isn't a translation on earth that the teachings of Jesus don't back what the JW teachers teach--How is that? The REAL Jesus pointed his followers to his God and Father. To worship him in spirit and truth( John 4:22-24) = the bottom line reality of it all.
He warned all of you that on account of the name Jesus, that some would do things against the true followers-Why? because they didn't know the one who sent him= Father=YHVH(Jehovah) John 15:20-21
