I discovered something,When I mention Luke 24:39,Witnesses denie that Christ had flesh and bones.They say that Christ came back as a spirit.When I do mention that Christ said Himself that He wasn't a spirit in that passage,they denie that it's there.I wouldn't believe that they would say that unless I saw it myself.So I truly believe that many witnesses have been blinded by the god of this system(Satan).There is just no other explanation.

Even their own New World Translation says it: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; feel me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as YOU behold that I have." Now how can a spirit eat fish? See verses 42-43.
Personally, Rev, I think many religionists of all religions have been blinded by the god of this system. As to denying that Jesus had flesh and bone, obviously, he did. Even their Reasoning book states so. But, it also mentions that earlier, angels had materialized flesh and bone bodies to be seen and such. In verse 37, Luke relates that the disciples thought they were seeing a spirit, a ghost if you will, since they knew Jesus to be dead.
I see this verse as an assurance of the resurrection, showing that we can indeed be brought back to life.
However, could Jesus have remained flesh and bone to enter Heaven?
RSV 1 Corinthians 15:50 I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?
This is just another way for the WBTS to widdle down Christ's devine nature.
