Need a hand dubla? Ill gladly help keep this towards the top while I am in the office as well... so that this thread doesnt get buried and we can be blessed and graced with his omniscient/omnipotent wisdom and Anointed presence.
The difference is that those who are anointed Jehovah's Witnesses are in a new covenant with God. That means that they qualify for Gods forgiveness just like the nation of Israel qualified for God's forgiveness even though they were guilty of very serious sins because of God's covenant with them.
OK, OK, maybe. But, what happens when all the anointed JWs pass away? Who of the "sheep class" would ever dare to run the Organisation?
the challenge still stands: "please provide scriptures showing how this new covenant that only jehovahs witnesses are in with god supercedes zechariah 5:4."
Where's the challenge in that? The whole prophecy of Zechariah is about how Jehovah goes about restoring the priesthood and kingship so that the end result is a holy nation. You don't really want me to do a verse-by-verse commentary on Zechariah do you? LOL / You Know
I'm a little confused. If Jehovah will only forgive the "elect", why ask the person to be baptized if he has repented, or why do the elders demand repentance before someone can be re-instated? Yet Jehovah does not forgive? Isn't this going above the chain of command?
Begging is not worship.
Well, YK, your answer is hardly an answer. It is another skate. Do you think that you have mixed up the OT & the NT? Are you in either/any covenant? If not, I'm sure that must be why the answer is illusive.

well, i figured youd find a way to wiggle out of the challenge presented to you, and you have......youve made this about zechariah, when in fact you know its about the comment YOU made and being able to back it up with the bible...thats the real challenge. but, deceptively youve picked apart my words and chose to side-step once again....so ill rephrase for you.
here was your quote:

now, according to your NUMEROUS statements, you can supposedly back up all of your beliefs with scripture, so the challenge is simple. please use scripture to show us how jehovahs witnesses and ONLY jehovahs witnesses are in this seperate covenant with god and therefore recieve this special forgiveness that no one else "qualifies" for.
