  Great response UTR. You are in control when you limit the conditions.

  My guess is that they won't make the visit if they see you are not afraid of them.

  Are JWs forgetting Jesus altogether?

  by KerryKing in

  a relative sent me yesterday's wt study article 46, how jehovah guarantees his promise of paradise.. it's been a long time since i read one of those articles but what really struck me about this one is that, considering it's discussing a fundamental jw belief, it only mentions jesus twice as an aside, and not at all as the central figure like the bible does.

  it actually mentions satan far more in the same article!.

  i don't remember this discrepancy from my time in the org 15 years ago.

  Jesus did not pay for the sins of 8.5 million JWs. They and mostly everyone else pays for their own sins by their death.

  JWs are not permitted to have any kind of a relationship with angels, so it stands to reason that they would ignore him.

  Strangely although Jesus strictly speaking is not their mediator and he is once again Michael the archangel they still tack on his earth name to the end of their prayers.

  The last days started in 1914.

  But

  Pehaps Christ's enthronement did not.

  So in that case 607 is redundant

  A slight moderation for accuracy

  Of course the Governing Body does not prohibit beards in North America. As evidence, Geoffrey Jackson has actually been sporting a goatee of late.

  The Great Tribulation is nigh! The Governing Body is no longer taking the lead in 'separating the sheep from the goatees'.
