  In Wt doctrine, Christ rules, as jws preach. supposed rule

  1) over the congregation members in the "--kingdom of the SON of his love--" Colossians 1:13 and

  2) since 1914, with the centennial celebration on now. and

  3) will start ruling after Armageddon for a 1000 years as priest/king and

  4) ruling in an eternal kingdom.

  at least 3 of these kingdom 'Rules' are OVERLAPPING

  within 1 Kingdom we have Overlapping Rules? or

  1 Rule with OVERLAPPING Kingdoms? plus

  5) there is the really earthly rule (Governing) by the Governing Body.

  the king pin(s) of the kingdom(s)?

  with all these concurrent or overlapping fiefedoms IN there,

  is it not good to be only looking IN rather than to have that OUT look?

  Island Man

  Speaking of overlapping kingdoms, do you remember that recent article about 100 years of Kingdom rule? That article was putting forth the activities of the messianic kingdom over the last century. But isn't strange how all the activities mentioned related to the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses? In other words, all the activities fell under the jurisdiction of, not the messianic kingdom, which the article was speaking about but the 'kingdom of the son of his love' - christ's kingship of the congregation as the JWs call it. So in reality they have misrepresented the doings of the 'kingdom of the son of his love' as being the doings of the messianic kingdom! They are blind, blind, blind I tell you!

  The WT makes a lot apply to them. It's their own trinity- something that cannot be explained logically or historically, but sets up their power.

  islandman, but that is wrong because

  WT claims that the Christ started to rule only in 1914. so:

  the 100 year Birthday party is not about Pentecost's son of love rule., which is in bible story.

  so here is the first overlapp the 1914 birth of the kingdom overlapping the older biblical Pentecost kingdom domain.

  remember: No man is an island.
