we had a co talk touching on resurrection, death, seeing family again.
the brother went into scenarios about his family, complete with tears.
i question getting that emotional every time he gives this talk.
I never been JW but I have one (long story). I can distinguish when she is making robot eye contact vs. really looking at me as the real person with God given built in emotion.
Hey LoveUniHateExams when you had those feelings about the crucifixion I think you were "smart guy".
Robots don't love or hate, jus saying.

Tried post a picture, never mind
genesis 3:15 says that the woman’s seed would be in enmity with the serpent’s seed.
although the bible reveals that the woman’s seed is jesus and christians that go to heaven with christ, it does not identify the woman directly.
we at jw believe that the woman is symbolic.
It is written (Galatians 4:22) it is written that Abraham had two sons
(Galatians 4:27) . . .the children of the desolate woman are more numerous. . .
in the nwt, revelation 5:10 is worded thus: “and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our god, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”.
however, in the original greek, (kingdom interlinear translation) it is more accurately translated as, “and you made them to the god of us kingdom and priests, and they are reigning upon the earth.” (several scriptures validate the location as being earth).
the wording of 1 peter 2:9, 10 in the nwt confirms the accuracy of the k.i.t.
I think you are correct booger
i was never a jw so rarely post here, maybe to ask a question sometime.
just by an occasional visit it seems most regulars have found the bible untenable not only in its jw redaction.
i get that so please don't view this as an attempt to debate.

watchtower view on romans 6: 7 examined .
the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.
so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!
I don't think they even get a clean slate. "opportunity" seems to be the key.
i was never a witness but i think they keep extensive records.
could they produce these names today?.
mostly curious.. .
