@
ThomasMore - Your
comment about the WTBTS/JW's perverted teaching about the "one
mediator" is very well
known here and not up for debate.
The O.P. highlights the Roman Catholic Church's false teaching, opposition & denial of what Jesus forcefully & openly stated about himself:
1) That he was the way, the mediator or intercessor for humans - no one else! (no saints or Mary)
2) That humans could not approach God Almighty except through his name. (no saints or Mary)
3) Only his name was to be used John 14:14, 26; 15:16; 16:23, 26. (no saints or Mary)
When anyone uses their denomination's dogmas, biases, and traditions to argue against what Scriptures say, leave them to it.
Most of us have experienced that with JW PIMI's.

@ aqwsed12345 - Instead of employing cognitive dissonance, dismissing plain Bible wording, and copying & pasting theological R.C. gobbledy-gook which has zero Scriptural backing, read John 14:6 again and let us know which part of "except through me" is incomprehensible.
While you're at it, can you enlighten us on how this -
1 Timothy 2:5 - "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,"
can be changed to this -
1
Timothy 2:5 -
"For there
is
one God and many
Mediators between God and men, the
Man Christ Jesus, myriads of saints, and
the Virgin Mary."
If you can respond
using Scriptures and your own
reasoning, that would be appreciated.

Just sayin'.
as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).
Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect that the cult's hierarchy is pulling JW's and ex-JW's chains with their calculated delay in publishing it?
As Billy Shakespeare would say, "Much ado about nothing."
this was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.

if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.
According to the Bible, who does Jesus say are his 'brothers'? (as per Matthew 25:40)
(Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21; John 1:12,13; Rom. 8:14; 1 John 5:1 (RSV)
Jesus said that the meek would inherit the earth, therefore, all Christians (believers) become joint heirs with Christ when he inherits his reward from his heavenly Father.
Jesus
addressed God as his Father. How were all his disciples to address God? (Matt. 6:9)
The Bible promises that Jesus would have one flock of sheep, not two different "classes," (John 10:16) and that there was one eternal hope (Psalm 37:29) - not two different hopes in heaven & earth!
The Scrptures above clearly identify to whom they apply - all Christians in the one flock.
(Matthew 12:50) For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother.”
(Mark 3:35) Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.”
(Luke 8:21) In reply he said to them: “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
(John 1:12, 13) However, to all who did receive him, he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name. And they were born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.
(Romans 8:14) For all who are led by God’s spirit are indeed God’s sons.
(1 John 5:1) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God, and everyone who loves the one who caused to be born loves him who has been born from that one.

OOPS!!
(Jeremiah
31:31, 33) “Look! There are days coming,” is the utterance of
Jehovah, “and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah a new covenant; “For
this is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel
after those days,” is the utterance of Jehovah. “I will put my
law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will
become their God, and they themselves will become my
people.144,000 immortal Melchizedek-type king/priests”

"The Watchtower stated: "Evidently the new covenant is nearing the end of its operation for the purpose of producing 144,000 spiritual Israelites....When the last of these approved spiritual Israelites cease to be ‘men’ because of earthly death and a resurrection to a share in the heavenly kingdom, then the mediatorship of Jesus Christ will cease also. Note that The Watchtower did not say that the benefits of this new covenant would cease. Those who live on earth will benefit in an everlasting way from the fact that this new covenant fulfilled its purpose in producing 144,000 spiritual sons of God who will reign as joint heirs with Christ in the heavens."
