How would the Governing Body treat Jesus if he were on earth today?

    They would criticize him for "independent thinking" and eventually disfellowship him for apostasy for not going along with their religious system and doctrines, don't you think?

    Oh wait...that's kind of like what the Sanhedrin did to him 2,000 years ago.

    He would be called a person that has "independent thinking". He would be dis-fellowshipped for being an apostate. The GB would be proud of themselves, and print an WT article on how great they were. The GB would once again, mislead millions of "followers of Men".

    That's about right but not before saying he was "bad association" for eating with and entertaining/cheering-up less desirable (weak) brothers.
    He'd definitely have to go if he used full context parables without using the out of context norm.
    Should he be seen talking with the Samaritan woman (or any woman OMFG) then he'd be "accused" of loose conduct.
    The single brother visiting his friend's sisters (also his friends) could cost him some gossiper's allegation of immorality and brand Lazerus' sisters as whores.
    Lazerus' death would be an alleged result of immorality and poor field service hours.
    Any mention that he is appointed mediator upon completion of his mission would send the elders into a tizzy fit shouting apostacy! They might stone him for denying the WTBTS as mediator....that one's up for debate.
    Going in FS without a territory map would get him banged.
    Not reporting time would get him 'seriously counseled'.
    A failure to place literature will get him labled.
    Conducting any miraculous ventures would cause him to be called demon possessed....as would touching a Smurf.

    After Jesus got through overturning all the money-counting tables at Bethel, the gb would have him arrested, tried and convicted. They wouldn't be able to execute him, but he would be labeled apostate and "dead" to the r&f.

    I'm afraid not very well after he shows them the extent of their blood guilt.

    They would say to him that he's already returned invisibly and send him packing. If he did a miracle or two they would call him a fraud. If he would agree to a Bible study they would probably let him clean the bathrooms at the circuit assembly to teach him humility...

    Son of God? Sheesh.

    yes, this jesus character is one of the great apostates of all time. in the abrahamic faiths, i would say second only to satan, the so-called deciever. of course, to some xians jesus is supposed to be the same god as that old yhwh guy, which makes him also satan according to some secular scholars who contend that until a certain point in the jewish rigamarole, yhwh and satan were one and the same. but no one ever wants to talk about that.

    interestingly, i contend that if modern xians were really to follow the example of this christ that they worship, there would be no xianity as they would all be apostates and freethinkers................ you know ............. like jesus was. lol. .....oh well. cie la vie...

    It would be difficult for Jesus to be appointed a MS in most congregations.

    Totally agree with all of you!!!!!
    the JW religion is not geared up to welcome individuals who in any way do not comform to their sterotype. Jesus would be seen as a nice guy but far too radical.
