growing up in the spanish congregation in chicago - i knew 4-5 of this supposed anointed.

all of them no longer are jw, 2-3 of them started their own religionthe other 2 was a mother and son.

its looks like one of them is god since the lord talk to abraham and sarah was afraid thereafter for having doubt, but i do not want to take this in a literal sense.

I AM ...
by MOG in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i did a little research (new american bible) on this, and i found that when jesus calls himself "i am" in john 8:58 and was to get stoned because he was putting himself equal to god, due because in exodus 3:14, god tells moses "i am sent you"...but in the jwbible it states this entirely different.. .

john8;58, and i am is substituted for "i have been', then in exodus 3;14, "i am" is substituted for "i shall prove to be what i shall prove to be"..i have gone through several bibles again and again..and each one is the same in this accord, but not the jwbible.. .

it makes sense that i am should be kept in place since jesus was being stoned for using that same phrase - confirmed by hurling of the stones, but then in exodus in the jw, not even the same phrase in used...inconsistent .
