It’s right up there with the mandate for WT reps to deliberately seek all available opportunities for tax-exemption… that the Org is, in fact, entitled to it.

401963 Resolution Condemning the United Nations
by Sea Breeze inquote from that world wide resolution: .
that, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god’s messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the united nations, with international headquarters at new york city.
this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.

I’m guessing neither one of you are American, then? 😏

How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?
by no-zombie infrom the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

In the Lucifer TV series, Luci and Michael were twin brothers (both played by Tom Ellis in some really fun scenes).
No mention of Jesus that I recall, though, other than a clever line of blink-and-you-miss-it throwaway dialogue in one episode.
On a semi-related note…
…I half-expected the characters to drop a Jesus joke in the Omnipotence City scenes of Thor: Love and Thunder, but I guess the filmmakers weren’t brave enough.

This would also explain why the Org has never really gone out of their way to sling condemnatory rhetoric against the other Bible Student denominations the way they have with the rest of “Christendom”. -

Sea Breeze - “…I suppose WT could sue them to stop using the name at anytime but chooses not to do so?”
Read it again… it says the WT themselves own the IBSA…
…and two things strongly suggest that statement is accurate.
First, Wikipedia is publicly editable, yet the information has remained unchanged…
…i.e. no one feels compelled to correct it.
Second (and more importantly, IMO)…
…the Org itself is litigious as fuck…
…but the very fact that they have not tried to sue the ISBA into oblivion (if they had, we’d have absolutely heard about it by now) is indicative…
…because if they did, they’d effectively be suing themselves.

“…but it appears to be what is known as controlled opposition…”
Equally bonkers.
Know what this reminds me of?
I used to joke that Six Screens had to be some kind of misguided “false flag” thing that the Org started, but it got away from them.
Hell, Rick Fearon was practically the “apostate” poster boy… he ticked all the boxes on Top-Shelf Tony’s checklist.
I never meant it seriously…
…but now I’m starting to wonder.
