Ooops - I flunked the topic already! I keep thinking Jesus was in heaven long before coming to earth as a man. So you're inferring it was God himself who became man?

Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

resolute Bandicoot - I recall Soros' words few yrs. ago but odd we don't hear it much - considering. I've heard he needs to be imprisoned but media seems to be quiet. Yes - he (and China) should be held accountable and are financing these thugs - their Marxist Left Dems.

Jesus became man and the Lord/voice of God. So where's the father, God, LORD, -- he's Jesus now and God? It gets confusing.

Yes - WT world only allows certain info/category for Jesus. Trinity didn't make sense and WT's version of God and the son being separate did - much different than Baptist church.

It would be a real hoot if a Kingdom Hall someday soon gets sold & turned into a brothel somewhere in Nevada!🤣
Hahahaha - the "brothel" business is only legal in certain counties of NV - few as far as I know and not very populated areas so doubtful WT owns many halls in those. They probably have one hall in Nye County, NV, and they already have brothel. Remote areas of northern NV aren't populated enough (cow county/counties) and most likely few halls. Lots of empty land in NV - gov't land - Area 51 (the secret area) and Test Site take up huge amount but you never know. Maybe new avenue of $ for WT!

BLM should go after and hold their socialist left leaders responsible for their ineptness, fraud, irresponsibility, corruption, toward black lives. Promises of more 'programs' and so-called 'housing development structures', better schools paid by taxpayers yet all hype and nothing - the politicians benefit monetarily from invisible programs as the lives/neighborhoods deteriorate. They've held them captive - owned their votes for decades.
Media/left politicians are responsible for this horror and have used the white class as their scape goat.

JoenB75 thanks/appreciate. It's over my head after 'thinking' WT made sense -- very limited biblical knowledge on my part.

JoenB75 - you believe God became Jesus (trinity)? When Lett said, "It would make Jesus happy and more importantly it would make Jehovah happy" referring to them as two separate persons, right? JWs believe they are separate as far as I know -- I'm sure I'm confused re/Lett's comment or he was implying both of them in one (trinity)?

The ignorance of the masses - amazing these cults get off the ground. Only Russell allowed to critique his own crazy or GB - there was a GB during Russell's rhetoric? Tyndale transcribed (interpreted?) the gospel (Bible) so the plowboy could understand yet still a window opened for Russell/charlatans but seems he was respected compared to ole con artist Booze Rutherfraud.
It's been yrs. since I read parts of Franz' book how Russell dressed all up and waltzed into room professing the Lord had appeared after all but invisibly - something wacko like. I asked a couple of JWs about this and they responded that 'he had to return at some time'! Ay yi yi.

JoenB75 - ahh, thx for info. A "secondary heavenly class?" These charlatans sure make up a lot of crazy. Good thing the JW masses are sold on everlasting life on earth w/cubbies - I sure liked idea but knew too good to be true like Santa and those beautiful Madame Alexander dolls at xmas. Amazing they call themselves the "Truth!" WOW.
I'd love to know how many have skipped. I'm sure the elderly are hanging in for dear life and I understand -- so sad.
