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.
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.
this is worth a look!.

.....if winnie the pooh & soul singer p.p.
arnold got hitched?.

What would happen if Oprah Winfrey married Deepak Chopra?
i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .
is this regarding 1914?
or micheal the arch angel?.
The last days started in 1914.
But
Pehaps Christ's enthronement did not.

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'.

Happiness is the freedom to grow facial hair.
How do I look now?
i would like to know if ex's and formers who are not church christians, believe that many of jws' doctrines and bible interpretations are correct, or do you feel that they aren't?

Using eisegesis you can prove the Bible-based teaching that Jesus appointed Joseph Rutherford to be His Faithful Slave on April 6th 1919 at Brooklyn headquarters while in the boardroom sipping tea with12 other appointees.
folks: i don't mean to be a "forum grammar policeman", but there is something that i've noticed a few times.
i've noticed that a few---not all---but some, members of the forum who use the abbreviation "ect" when they want to use the abbreviation of "etc.
" for your education today, the term "etc" is the abbreviation for the latin term "et cetera.
I must confess that seeing then for than is a bit of an irritant.
is it likely to be removed from the list of disfellowshippable offences?
given that the ban on smoking 🚬 is completely unbiblical*, might they ever remove it?.
*even mainstream christianity can only come up with one verse "against" it, the one that says that the body is the temple of the holy spirit.
<<Does it need to be 'biblical' to ban it?>>
Of course not! Who needs Bible rules when we can all make our own commandments of men. Christians who celebrate Christmas or send birthday cards or vote in municipal elections should be mandatorily cut off from the Christian congregation as well as from their families.
