with respect to christ being the "redeemer" and of having "paid the ransom", i would like to know:.
(1) what is your technical understanding of each term?.
(2) what is the watchtower's understanding of each term?.
The poet Langston Hughes wrote that at his funeral wake, he wanted everyone to wear red, because there was no point in his being dead.
It is my humble opinion that the Bible's explanation of what causes death is the most plausible of all.
Even so, questions still abound, and that is a good thing.

i've never been a jw and haven't ever studied the bible or theology so it may be that there is a simple answer to my question that i'm not aware of, in which case, please forgive my ignorance.
however i have wondered about this for quite some time and have scoured the internet but i can't find any mention of the topic.
maybe someone here might enlighten me.
I believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Seed of the Woman prophesied in Genesis.
To fulfill this Prophecy, the Seed had to be conceived, gestated, and born as any other human; the only difference is the Seed has God as His Father, thereby being both God and human - sinless.
As such, the Seed, upon coming of age, could have created another woman, and started a new family.
But, instead of this, He chose to redeem the family He already had, tainted though they were.
These are simply my thoughts on the matter.

i've noticed that lately the wt has been using the date 1919 more often.
in an almost matter of fact way, they will state that this is the year jesus finished refining his people and appointed the fds.
the only problem is there is little proof or even prophetic antitypes given for why this must have been the year.
Wonder what's in the works for 2025, the centennial of the Millions campaign?
