We all sin? Really?
Who determines what is sin? You? Your holy book? Your invisible friend in the sky?

And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. - Matthew 12:31-32 New International Version
Why should blasphemy against the Holy Spirit be unforgivable when blasphemy against Jesus was forgivable? Wasn't the Holy Spirit working through Jesus? Blasphemy against the Son should be blasphemy against the Father and Holy Spirit.

If you are one of the GB's sitting on the thrones in Brooklyn/NY state, calling yourselves " the faithful and discreet slave ", and " the only channel that the Almighty God speaks to humanity ", then YOU are sinning against the spirit. -

I think the GB's whole point in bringing this up is to make people think they have denied the holy spirit, if they deny that the GB is the FDS. They want people to be scared of committing the unforgivable sin. What they are saying is that if you speak against the GB there is no forgiveness for you. It is just more fear and guilt. -

As a JW, I thought 'blasphemy' was all about g-d. DOH!

I don`t think J.W`s / G.B. have ever defined what exactly is the unforgivable sin have they ?
I remember a question from readers 20+ years ago , somebody asking about that and the answer was if your asking the question and concerned about it , you obviously haven`t sinned against the Holy Spirit .
I have been out for more than twenty years so maybe things have changed. Yes ? No ?
