is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.
the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.
i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.
About a year ago, when someone said Watchtower would fall because Jesus is tearing it down at Jehovah's command, no one believed it.
Anyone would be stupid to believe that. Watchtower hasn’t ‘fallen’ and even if it were to, it would be irrational to attribute it to something that hasn’t been demonstrated to exist.
say it ain’t so!
.
in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?
Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual MeetingWhere do you get this stuff?
Can anyone identify the last time WT affirmed the literal 144,000 teaching in print or in broadcast?
The Watchtower, May 2024, page 7:
A limited number, 144,000 in all, of Christ’s faithful followers will receive a resurrection to immortal life in heaven.It isn't new that they make a distinction between the number of 'partakers' and the 'actual' anointed people, though there is no method of verification because it's superstitious nonsense.

If a person feels threatened by truth, it's because that "threatened" person's conscience is bothering them.
No. That's a tedious reflection of your own belief that the 'threat' is 'truth' (though entirely unsubstantiated). It is not actually that the person feels threatened, but they have remarked about the intent of the superstitious threat.

Jeffro, this one was made especially for you:
Awww… you made a picture of yourself for me. You shouldn’t have.

Playing with words constantly.
Hmmm... ok...
For if a person called Jesus Christ didn't exist at one stage
So... smuggling in the superstitious concept of 'Christ' into the mundane fact that there was probably a Galilean preacher named Jesus (or at least an Aramaic form) isn't 'playing with words'?

Jeffro, it's a case of the pot is calling the kettle black. I have clearly demonstrated your irrationality by you insinuating "destroy" means "corrupt," in order for you to fit it into your brand of theology.
Notice this common apologist tactic… personalise the issue and falsely imply that some novel interpretation is being asserted. Back in reality, the fact that the book of Daniel is about the Maccabean period is the mainstream view in biblical scholarship.

peacefulpete:
The last section of book of Daniel was reinterpreted as referring to Rome prior to Christian usage.
Of course. Christianity didn’t start in a vacuum. But the key word is ‘reinterpreted’. When the original apocalyptic hopes in Daniel failed after the Maccabean period, it was reinterpreted. Just as Christians reinterpreted their end times beliefs after Jesus didn’t return within a generation.

On the contrary, the same Hebrew term is translated ‘corrupted’ in various verses. It’s unremarkable that Christian translators render that particular verse in a way that favours a Christian interpretation though.
By the way, none of the Bible translators agree with you in this instance.
Wrong as usual. Young’s Literal Translation does not say the city would be destroyed at Daniel 9:26.

To destroy or not to destroy? No Jeffro, your clarification does not work for me.
You’ve demonstrated yourself to be irrational and just ignore obvious problems pointed out to you. You don’t even care what the Bible actually says. So why would I care whether you agree? Luke isn’t Daniel. They are different books describing different events.
