I think Ozzie's comment is accurate; as long as people saw a display of power and wanted the same for their own selfish reasons, then again, he would be expected to feed them first. Unfortunately, bread and fish are not good enough, just ask COs and DOs. If he came to America as a "suffering servant" then the dude looking for nails would be right in the middle of the pack. No way would He be institutionalized, look around any American city, you can be as nuts as you want! There's no money for mental health, but with 2.2 million in jails, he would get a number, a cell, and a job as a carpenter for 23 cents an hour (if he kissed up to the authorities).

Shamus, I think if he came back today, he'd say to the GB, the top of the pile people right down to the elders; "Get away from me, I never knew you."
I'm sure of it.

There's more chance of a Tyrannosaurus Rex making a reappearance, at least we know they existed. :)

If Jesus came back today, he would refuse to wear the stupid suit and tie, cause he is a humble being.NOT wanting to look superior to others, and he would be disgusted by the watchtower and Awake magazines, he would be ripping them up.
Meanwhile, the WT would be busy disfellowshipping him!

He'd probably get D/F'd for the beard and improper footwear

This is a song I heard about a dozen years ago.
WOULD JESUS WEAR A ROLEX
Artist: Ray Stevens
Woke up this mornin', turned on the t.v. set. there in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget. This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on the charm askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm. He wore designer clothes, and a big smile on his face tellin' me salvation while they sang Amazin' Grace. Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth. I almost wrote a check out, yeah, then I asked myself (chorus) Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car? Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressin' room have a star? If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know Could ya tell me, Would Jesus wear a Rolex on His television show. Would Jesus be political if He came back to earth? Have His second home in Palm Springs, yeah, a try to hide His worth? Take money, from those poor folks, when He comes back again, and admit He's talked to all them preachers who say they been a talkin' to Him? (chorus) Just ask ya' self, Would He wear a pinky ring, Would He drive a fancy car? Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star? If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know: Could ya tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex, Would jesus wear a Rolex Would Jesus wear a Rolex On His television show-ooh-ooh?

I think the real question is whether Jesus was here the first time or is it just a religious folklore like all the other Gods before him?

Even if the dubs looked j.c right in the face they still wouldn't believe it was him. It doesn't conform to their teachings.

Undecided - Jesus was here on terra firma and my kinfolk had him killed - He is my Lord and My God. Listen to the Master. He is the only continuum, the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Men are full of crap and that's why they would kill Him agai; of course, the WTS would be vying for first in line against the other ISMs. Doubt mankind, not the Messiah.
