here’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.
why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?
.
(Galatians 3:16) Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: “And to seeds,” as in the case of many [144,000] such, but as in the case of one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ.
re chap. 2 p. 12 par. 13 - Would the woman’s seed be simply one prominent person? They [the 144,00] become a secondary part of the seed, Christ Jesus being the primary part.
questions for jehovah's witnesses about 1919!.
i would love to hear jehovah's witnesses explain their beliefs in 1919 using only the bible.. 1:) why do you believe that god chose the "bible students" to be his one and only channel of communication and his organization on earth in 1919?.
2:) what were the "bible students" teaching in 1919 that would have made god and jesus choose them over any other religion?.
ws chap. 8 p. 67 par. 5 - In 1919 the anointed disciples of the reigning King, Jesus Christ, did enter into an approved condition
w16
March p. 31 - Ezekiel 37:1-14 and Revelation
11:7-12 each speak of a spiritual restoration that took place in
1919.
w16
March p. 29 par. 2 - All the evidence*
indicates that this captivity ended in 1919 when anointed
Christians were gathered into the restored congregation.
w16 July p. 31 - From 1919, God’s people were gradually reorganized and reunited to serve as “one flock.” (Gradually???? Why did it take Jehovah & Christ 16 years to do the job?)
yb12 p. 112 - “How excited Jehovah’s Witnesses were in 1935 when the identity of the “great crowd”...was made clear. God’s people were delighted to learn that worshippers who hope to live on a paradise earth could join the anointed remnant as dedicated servants of Jehovah.”
yb93 p. 96 Denmark - In August 1935, two issues of The Watchtower in English explained that the “great crowd” of Revelation chapter 7 was an earthly class that was to be gathered before Armageddon.
* I'd love to hear a JW try to offer one piece of Bible evidence to back up this fairy tale!
is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.
which he said would never occur again?
(matthew 24:21).
@ jhine - I should have phrased it as, "the corruption in the Christian congregations worldwide" - as can be be seen by Jesus' words to them in Revelation chapters 2 & 3.
As for inner/interior rooms -
(Proverbs
24:4) "And by
knowledge will the interior
rooms be filled
with all precious and pleasant things of value."
Where
is knowledge retained and stored? In the heart & mind?
(Isaiah
26:20) "Go, my
people, enter your inner
rooms, And shut
your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a brief moment Until the
wrath has passed by."

Are You Ready for the Great Tribulation? “The great tribulation will soon begin..”
Study Watchtower July 2023 - p. 4 par. 10, “We too can show compassion today when we learn that fellow worshippers have been affected by a disaster. We readily respond—perhaps by asking the elders if we can assist on a project..by donating to the worldwide work ”
p.s. When the G.T. starts, forget about hiding in your basements or running off into forests - the G.B. wants you to gather together in your local KH - makes it easier for the JW haters to find all of their victims!
Par. 16 - (Isa. 26: 20) "It seems that those words also apply to us who will face the great tribulation. The “inner rooms” may refer to our congregations."
w87 6/15 p. 19 par.
13 - 1986*: it was appreciated that both the remnant and the “great crowd” must figuratively partake of jesus’ flesh and blood by accepting his sacrifice in order to be in harmony with him.
- john 6:53-56.. (*w86 2/15 p. 15 “bread of life” available for all only 144,000”).

(*w86
2/15 p. 15 “Bread of Life” Available for All only 144,000”)
w56 1/15 p. 52 par. 29 - Jesus gave flesh as well as blood in behalf of the life of his followers. (how many?) He symbolized both of these essentials to gaining everlasting life (not immortality?) by the loaf and the cup of wine at the evening meal that he set up.
w56 6/1 p. 346 par.
rebellion against the slave is rebellion against god.. w57 6/15 p. 370 par.
7 - it is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of god, because it is his provision.. w10 9/15 p. 23 par.
Looks like it!
w56
6/1 p. 346 par. 11 - Therefore the slave’s will is Jehovah’s
will. Rebellion against the slave is rebellion against God.
w57
6/15 p. 370 par. 7 - It is vital that we appreciate this fact and
respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice
of God, because it is His provision.
w10
9/15 p. 23 par. 8 “Your Leader Is One, the Christ” - The
anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following
the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following
their Leader, Christ.
Has the org forgotten what happened after Acts 12:22? “A god’s voice, and not a man’s!”

i wonder what the remaining members of the gb will make of this?.
i excited to read all of this once it’s released and compare with the rest of mathew.
A total non-story by the looks of things.
Here is the best they come up with:
"...offers slightly more detail than the Greek translation of Matthew chapter 12. In verse 1 of the Greek translation, a sentence reads "at that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat," while the Syriac translation discovered by Kessel ends "began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them". Wow!!!

a short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.
here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.
when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..
The quote blasphemy is at the 3.25 mark - just to save you listening to more than you need to!
i found out that a uk hospital (nnuh) uses kingdom melodies as hold music, apparently for some years!
i called and heard it myself.
i wrote an email to the complaints team and await a response.
@ AEnEm - you have a P.M.
my first post will be hidden in the far more important news about am3.
incredible!
who knows what the ramifications will be.. as a pimo who still believes in the bible and christ, i wanted to share the following fun fact about the latest study publications.
@ Carla - ask your hubby a wee question:
"If you are asked at a hospital if you have a faith, what would you tell them?"
If he replies, "Jehovah's Witnesses," ask him why Christianity isn't his faith.
