In what manner was Jesus "symbolic" or "figurative" to Paul? You have been asked this question at least twice earlier.

PolyHeme~Can JW's accept it?
by purplesofa inhttp://wiki.noblood.org/polyheme.
what is polyheme and how is it made?it has been scientifically found that raw hemoglobin can be toxic outside of the red blood cell and that in order to make a safe, effective substitute the hemoglobin molecule must be made larger than its natural state.
polyheme, according to the northfield labs website, is a solution of chemically modified hemoglobin derived from human blood.

Leolaia, thank you for your posts. I have learned a lot from reading your posts during the short time I've been a member.
Snowbird, thank you for this thread. This is a concept I've struggled with since leaving the organization.

How is Jesus Christ a symbol? I do not wish to be argumentative, but this makes no sense to me. As a Christian, I allow the bible to teach who the Father is and who Jesus is. If you don't believe in the historical Jesus, who do think he is? I

Of course, my question is sincere. I asked the question because I sincerely wish to know who Jesus is. I know he is the Son. I know he was much more than a perfect man as taught by the WTS. He was worshipped and as stated in Phil 2:5-8
"5 and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought: 6 Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain equal with God. 7 Instead he gave up everything and became a slave,
when he became like one of us. 8 Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross." CEV
1 Tim 3:16 states
" 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." KJV
Verses such as these and the ones Leolalia entioned in her posts makes one wonder. Jesus was MUCH more than a perfect man.

possible-san,
Please explain the following scriptures
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Why, also, does the bible say Jesus was worshipped?

JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy
by shopaholic ini've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.
basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.
according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

Trying2understand,
Your daughter's ex-boyfriend is not not playing mindgames. His mind is truly messed up. He truly believes what he's been taught by the Watchtower and he cannot be happy or think for himself until he stops allowing them to control his mind. I cringe every time I think of telling my then boyfriend he "had to become a Witness" before we married. We were barely married two years before I realized I no longer believed a lot of what the JWs taught.
I wasn't raised by JW parents and always knew I was loved by my family. Unfortunately, I was a true believer. My parents waited for me to leave and I've yet to hear " I told you so."
