what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.
by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.
(mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.
Anything can be an idol.
But when the “cross” is idolized ( which is the subject here ) it may be abominable to God because not only is it used to torture people sadistically but it has become the symbol of Christianity deflecting from the foundation, Jesus. And, instead of focusing on God and the meaning of Jesus’ death, people worship the cross and miss the whole point of the Bible writers that I mentioned in my previous point.

n the cross of our Lord Jesus
The implication is the execution of Jesus ( compare 1 cor 2:2 ) resulting in salvation and not the instrument of his execution. It is obvious poetic language since unlike in the “old testament” Christianity is not about rituals and paraphernalia. Christ is the fulfillment of all that.

The cross may be an abomination to JWs, but not to God.
A torture device that is also an idol.

WT has always explained the disgusting thing that causes desolation as the UN.
simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.

so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.
Why won't god heal amputees?
For the same reason God allows wicked ess. According to the Bible, at some point in time God will act to resurrect the dead and heal the sick, etc.
God not taking action now does not debunk Jesus’s miracles.

“A Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him. “ God and the resurrected and glorified Jesus are 2 different entities according to this verse

99.9% Christianity accepts the trinity. I wonder why?
Because 99.9% are equivocating.
fair warning, i am not a jehovah's witness believer, but i am curious about what it is you believe and why you believe it.
so i am interested in talking to you instead of reading about you from my own christian perspective.
after all, who understands what jehovah's witness believes better than a jehovah's witness?
who did Christ say was the ONLY true God?
“All authority has been given” to Jesus by God. Even prayer is in Jesus’s name because Jesus answers prayer because he is the Messiah having all authority. For example, when someone that is blind prays to God for sight, it is Jesus with God’s Holy Spirit as if having power of attorney sort of speak that restores the sight. It is a waste of time to show people that believe in the Trinity that Jesus and God are 2 separate entities. The evidence and argument and position are there. Take it or leave it. The case is at rest.

Earnest, do we have the same nature as God too? Or is Jesus special in this case?
Humans do not have the same nature as spirits —or God for that matter. As JW see it, Jesus was the firstborn of all creation, that is to say that Jesus is a creature, a separate entity than God but who is like God. But even Jesus in all his glory is not like God. Who is like God? Nobody. Not even Jesus.
It is axiomatic that Jesus and YHWH are 2 separate and distinct entities. You need to be able to understand this on your own.
in september 1959, anne and i were invited to serve at bethel in paris, france, where i was assigned to take the lead in printing.
up until the time of our arrival in january 1960, printing had been done by a commercial firm.
since the watchtower was then banned in france, we printed the magazine each month in the form of a 64-page booklet.
What is the backstory on this?
The backstory is always a competitor religion with clout such as the RCC.
