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.
(Matthew 20:28) ...to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.”
What does a ransom buy back? Exactly what was lost.
(Luke
19:10) "For the
Son of man came to seek and to save what
was lost.”
What exactly did Adam & Eve lose?
(1
Timothy 2:6) ….who
gave himself a corresponding
ransom for all. (not just 144k)
Does adding 144,000 immortal spirit king/priests correspond to Adam's loss?

The
wording of 1 Peter 2:9, 10 in the NWT confirms the
accuracy of the K.I.T. by not inserting the word
'king:' “But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for special possession,
that you should declare abroad the excellencies” of the One who
called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 For
you were once not a people, but now you are
God’s people; once you had not been shown
mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
The org claims that the ones being spoken of in Revelation are 144,000 humans who have been resurrected to heaven and have become not just priests, but king/priests.
However, Peter clearly describes these ones as becoming a 'people,' not a crowd of immortal super-human spirits. Oh,oh!
hi everyone i would like to say hello to everyone,.
i just started attending kingdom hall about a month ago now and am doing bible study with a brother..
Welcome JP. As others have said, do research.
I've sent you a P.M. with a question which you should ask the JW you meet with.
They will NOT appreciate you showing them a JW teaching which is contradicted by the Bible, so prepare for their attitude to change.
the org has been exposed for abusing dmca laws to hunt down and punish anonymous faders/jw's.. https://pubcit.typepad.com/clpblog/2022/05/watch-tower-drops-its-effort-to-identify-a-dissident-blogger-based-on-spurious-copyright-claims.html.
if you talk to a jw, tell them how wisely the "faithful slave is looking after the masters belongings.

The org has been exposed for abusing DMCA laws to hunt down and punish anonymous faders/JW's.
If you talk to a JW, tell them how wisely the "faithful slave is looking after the masters belongings." (Matt. 24:45)
They spend ten$ of thou$ands of donations on lawyers to get revenge on those who publicly expose them.
Maybe they've now learned a lesson!
youtube's 'xjw curious,' pete corbeil, reads proselytizing letter written by a pimo jw who simply shares current watchtower teachings like no other jw.

(114) shocking letter reveals jehovah's witnesses true beliefs!
So the “faithful slave” was not Rutherford and a few others allegedly chosen by Jehovah, but was in reality, Charles Taze Russell. Rutherfraud had no idea in 1916 that he was about to be chosen as the FDS!
"Shall we continue to speak in our Class-studies of Brother Russell as the Lord's Servant who brought "meat in due season to the household of faith." Yes, indeed!
We
must make the distinction between Brother Russell as a creature
and his official capacity as "that servant" of the Master
to give out the "meat in due season." To disregard the
Message would mean to disregard the Lord."
w13 7/15 pp. 22-23 par. 12 “Who Really Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? - When did Jesus appoint the faithful slave over his domestics? That question was answered after he and his Father came and inspected the temple, or spiritual arrangement for worship, from 1914 to the early part of 1919. In 1919, a time of spiritual revival, Jesus selected capable anointed brothers from among them to be the faithful and discreet slave and appointed them over his domestics.

can a witness date and court a jw student if he intends to get baptized?
.
Yes - but the JW better be prepared to get a rough time from the elders and others.
A JW with "privileges" in a Cambridge congregation began courting a girl who was studying. (later baptised)
He was warned that if he did not stop SITTING NEXT TO HER IN THE KH, he would lose his privileges!
He told them to keep their "privileges." The couple got married after her baptism.
"Loving shepherds" - LOL.
regarding the governing body update 3 video on resuming meetings in person, i am wondering:.
what is the purpose of wearing masks and to sit keeping distances if you shake hands and hug each other before and after the meetings?.
It's not direction from God or Christ.
The G.B. members conduct a seance every week and receive insights from dead anointed JW's:
re chap. 20 p. 125 par. 17 - ...resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.
14 jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis.
the benefits of that direction were evident when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.
while many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe.
Clearly, JESUS must also have guided the G.B. to instruct all JW's to get the "life-saving" jabs.
I wonder how many JW's died in 2021, thanks to a 40% increase in deaths?
many people took the covid vaccine and the boosters.
looks like those controlling such world wide campaigns have more in store for the humanity.
the powerful organization world economic forum says that the covid pandemic has started the digitalization and surveillance of everything.
@ KOSONEN: One of the wild beast's 'heads' must receive a death stroke, but then be revived.
If the beast is the U.N., maybe the damaged head will be indicated by Russia's removal from the U.N./Security Council in the near future because of the Ukraine invasion. (the silence so far is deafening)
Then the U.N. can re-emerge as an different 'beast' - one with more credibility.
