Looks like Paul is creating a small contradiction with his 'seed' references.

The Genesis 3:15 woman.
by Fisherman ingenesis 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.

(Galatians 3:16) “...the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: “And to seeds,” as in the case of many such, [i.e. 144,000] but as in the case of one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ.”
If the 'woman' represented God's heavenly/spiritual organization, it must be pretty feeble to have to flee from Satan. (Revelation 12)
Could the 'woman' picture the entity of Christianity?

And then they instructed all the JW sheeple.
July 2022 WT Study Magazine, p. 12, par. 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. We were encouraged to wear face coverings when out in public and to practice physical distancing."
I'll bet Jesus told the GB that 4 cubits was a good social distance.

JULY 15TH STUDY EDITION :"If ever that evil slave..." page 24
by raymond frantz inbox on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".
jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.
jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

The Watchtower justified its new light by saying, "Notice that Jesus introduces the warning with the words "if ever." One scholar says that in the Greek text, this passage "for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition."
The 'one scholar' un-credited source is actually The NET BIBLE, (its footnote) published by the evangelical Society of Biblical Literature.
So the 'new light' or 'food at the proper time' never came from the self-appointed slave. LOL

A JW prophecy VISIBLY failing!
by BoogerMan inw85 7/1 p. 21 par.
16 - an increasing “great crowd...out of all nations” are flocking to the org jehovah’s worship.
the brooklyn pharisees assured the sheeple for decades that isaiah 2:2, micah 4:1-3, & haggai 2:7 were prophetically.

So why are K.H.'s being sold off worldwide? Where are people going to flock to - tablets & ZOOM?

Bethelite viewers: Ever thought of this?
by BoogerMan inin 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!

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.
