review of daniel b. wallace’s greek grammar.
daniel b[aird] wallace is professor of new testament, and author of greek grammar beyond the basics, a work first published by zondervan corporation in 1996. his work has since become a standard work in the intermediate koine greek field and has been translated into half a dozen languages.
it is said two-thirds of bible colleges today that teach the subject use the textbook.
I'm surprised that Foster has not been called to service at WTS headquarters to create a new, more scholarly anti-Trinity document for public consumption.
there seems to be no end to the many jw's who sexually abused minors.

thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
As the Bible says , the faithful slave is found at headquarters in New York and if you don't believe in them, regardless of your faith in Christ, you will be eternally destroyed at Armageddon.
This video proves it.

on eternal life.
"none of us are in position to earn god’s gifts, least of all to earn the gift of life.
but we can show ourselves worthy of the gift of eternal life by … dedicating ourselves to jehovah and then proving faithful to that dedication.” (the watchtower, august 15, 1952, p. 485).

Right on. According to the the Watchtower August 15, 1972 p.419 entitled, "Working Hard for the Reward of Eternal Life"
"19 Not only a right view of the preaching work is needed, but a right view of the reward. Do not be mistaken, working for the reward can indeed be harmonized with working out of love for God. How is that? It is God who holds out the reward and bids us to strive to gain it."
The Watchtower version of eternal life is the proverbial carrot on a stick. Keep working hard to survive Armageddon and then work for 1000 more years to gain eternal life. You are never sure if you are making yourself worthy of the reward. Such a pathetic gospel.

a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

“i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.
"Already explained that in a previous post."
Your explanation does not justify your organization's judgments. Your organization has judged that millions of Christians who were martyred for their faith in Christ prior to the 20th century were not real Christians. Similarly today your Governing Body has judged all who name the name of Christ that are not JWs are also professed but not real Christians and therefore worthy of destruction if alive when Armageddon strikes. And you agree with them.
On what basis do Jehovah's Witnesses judge that those millions martyred prior to the twentieth century were not Christians?

There is a difference between adjudication and interpretation.
Evidently Watchtower has judged that Adam is not worthy of a resurrection. Not only has the Governing Body determined that Adam will be eternally destroyed, but they also have judged that all apostates to their organization are not worthy of a resurrection and that 8 billion non-JWs will be eternally destroyed at Armageddon as well.
