  @ UNDER THE RADAR - and everyone else here:

  Perhaps the Illinois authorities (and others!) should be made aware of the fact that every baptized JW is recognized as an ordained minister, by themselves AND the org.

  On that basis, shouldn't every baptized JW in Illinois be required to get instructed in CSA protocols?

  w01 1/15 p. 25 - What a joy to see newly dedicated ones follow in Jesus’ footsteps by submitting to water baptism!...When baptized they become ordained ministers of the good news...

  w00 4/15 p. 19 - Especially must we as Christians, ordained ministers of Jehovah God, have a healthy concern about how others view us.
  

  w87 1/15 p. 30 - The speaker showed that our baptism is at one and the same time a most serious and a most joyous occasion. By means of it, we gain peace with God and become ordained ministers of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
  

  w87 5/15 p. 27 - Last year alone, almost 12,000 persons were baptized and became ordained ministers of Jehovah.
  

  w85 9/1 p. 18 par. 11 - All along, it has been necessary for genuine God-ordained Kingdom ministers to defend their authorization for the ministry. Their qualification as duly ordained ministers of God has been challenged and discounted.
  

  w73 5/15 p. 315 - All these workers are ordained ministers who also share in preaching and teaching God’s Word to others.
  

  w71 2/15 p. 123 - ...sixty-two persons baptized in the Atlantic Ocean....represented in these newly ordained ministers.
  

  w70 1/1 p. 21 par. 10 - but the dedicated, baptized disciples [JW's] certainly are all ordained ministers.
  

  w66 5/15 pp. 300-301 par. 3 - Jehovah’s witnesses are a society of ordained ministers.

  October 5th 2022 Daily Text: “We also need to trust in the only channel [the G.B.] that Jehovah is using today.” (w July 2020, 23-24, 11-12)

  w16 November p. 16 par. 9 - However, Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food.

  w69 8/15 p. 500 par. 18 - but in this review on the subject of prayer our main purpose has been to show sincere seekers from the Scriptures where to find God and how to approach him through the one and only channel, Christ Jesus.

  g76 7/22 p. 28 What Worship Does God Approve? - To worship God with truth would require that one’s worship be in harmony with the truth found in his Word, the Bible. This includes acceptance of Jesus Christ as the only channel for making proper approach to the Father.

  kl chap. 16 p. 153 par. 9 - Jesus Christ, who died as a ransom for us...is the only channel through whom we can approach Jehovah God.

  I prefer using various translations along with a Greek concordance - https://www.blueletterbible.org/
  

  However if pushed, I'd have to say my favorite translation is The 2001 Translation - https://2001.bible/ which is not featured on the BLB site.

  how many jw's are aware they have "priests?".

  Re Listener's WT quotation: When JW publishers conduct Bible studies with non-JW's, they are doing exactly what the alleged priests are claimed to be doing. Same difference. All JW's are acting as priests.

  The cult's dogma about their elite (or anyone else apart from Christ) becoming a king, is mind-numbingly false.

  Shucks, I'll bet they wish they were already kings as well!

  I never knew of a holy priest who loved Macallan Malt Whisky. Good endorsement for it. :)

  ....but not for jw's!.

  w70 4/15 p. 250 -"in 1870 charles taze russell...was not satisfied with the sectarian [jw's are sectarian] explanations of the bible given him, so he started a bible-study class with several of his friends....".

  km 9/07 p. 3 question box - "does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research or debate?

  REALITY CHECK: Any JW's who openly "ignore the G.B.'s "recommendation" in that Kingdom Ministry, will find themselves being seriously "counselled" by the congregation's wolves. Anyone who thinks otherwise..........

  Is Jehovah WITHHOLDING something from Jesus?

  (matthew 28:18) jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.. (1 corinthians 15:27) for god “subjected all things under his feet.”.

  according to the washtowel, jesus is not going to have all of jehovah's power & authority, because he'll [jesus] need 144,000 dead/resurrected humans to help him run the earth: .

  @ Disillusioned JW - The NWT says in Revelation that others will serve as "kings." However, the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileus) does not exclusively translate as 'kings.'

  Here are other meanings of the same word: leader of the people, prince, commander, lord of the land.

  Psalm 45:16 says, "Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth."(NKJV) No contradiction then.

  As you probably know, Psalm 45 is also in harmony with the correct translation of Revelation 5:10 when it says "upon" the earth as opposed to the NWT claiming "over" the earth.
