in an earlier thread another poster asserted that there is no evidence that revelation 3:14 played a part in the 4th controversy that led to the trinity doctrine.
this was claimed as evidence that the description of jesus as “the beginning of the creation of god” in the verse was not understood to mean that jesus was god’s first creation.
the scholarly greek–english lexicon of the new testament & other early christian literature 3e (2001) by bauer, arndt, gingrich, and danker, in its latest edition states that “first creation” is indeed the probable meaning of the greek phrase.
jesus showed us what showing love looked like
he didn't act like a scribe or a pharisee
"clothe yourselves with love"
the context says some are "naked" and it's exposed
because they are harping on the unimportant things while
forgetting that
god is love
in holland we say "not because it is requierd, but because it's possible.
before we shaved, and now we let it grow.
pinky ring, too!.
wt probably sold their stock in some shaving supplies company
and bought stock in some snake oil beard-make-it-grow company🤣😜

over a thousand years ago some dude broke up the bible into chapter/verse breaks
but if you step back and read the whole passage around rev. 3:14
it's not talking about angels or jesus or god
it's talking about showing love
in two child abuse cases litigated in a us district court in montana, plaintiffs recently filed identical motions for sanctions against watch tower pa, philip brumley (general counsel for whq/wt) and joel taylor (associate general counsel for wt), accusing them of lying to court and vexatiously delaying the case:.
here, with the hope that the court would dismiss plaintiffs’ cases against wtpa, in-house counsel brumley signed affidavits that were materially false and intentionally misleading.

Philip Brumley "Bunburyist" - JW Watchtower Is Not Earnest
the upcoming governing body update, set to be released on friday this week, will feature a bearded samuel herd.. jwtalk website revealed the leak, so this thread will be used to speculate the content of the update and discuss the actual contents after its release..
i laughed when i first saw herd's beard - it looks so shaggy
he'd look nice with one of those fake babylonian style beards
makes me think of the wiggles mustache song...
"Mr. Moustache on my face,
How did you get in your place?(it's at the end of this clip)
how did they get it into germany? 1942?
rutherford was a mason/satanist
he was in bed with the german govt
the stuff with the jws getting persecuted is the same as the russia thing today
putting on an act is what wt leaders do
just like putting on a fake mustache
(sometimes it comes off and you can see behind the disguise)
in his recent "morning worship" talk https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/vodpgmevtmorningworship/pub-jwbvod24_25_video.
mark sanderson inadvertently exposes the heart of watchtower.... .
clips from mark sanderson's "focus on the inner person" are in this video -
JW Watchtower Your Invitation Has Been Revoked
warning: it might make you vomit, wt elders are so gross🤮
watchtower plays lots of games with definitions.
once they change a definition then they have a false assumption to build their deception on.
then they repeat the new definition and use its new meaning thousands of times to reinforce it.
jesus died so that we could live
all of us
his blood is enough
he didn't make it complicated

if all who claim to be "christ's brothers" are like these two prostitutes
which one do you think jesus would want to take care of his kids?
the real "mother" isn't the one who wants the babies dead.
wt disfellowships her own kids
then wants other kids dead
(i use the term "kid" figuratively here)
jesus came to save lives
he doesn't want to lose them
christ's "brothers" who work in the kingdom arrangement
are more like loving moms who will do anything to save the kids
they don't care if the kids have sinned and how bad
as long as they turn around and want to live
their hearts cry out "save my baby!!!"
since 1931, they have called themselves jehovah’s witnesses.
founded in 1879 by charles taze russell (1852-1916).
jw’s publisher is the watchtower bible and tract society, and their publications include "the watchtower" and "awake!
as regards masonic "penalties" here are a couple links
when you read them, read them in the same way you would read a wt book on disfellowshipping
knowing, as you do, that abusers are promoted and victims cut off
notice the similarities between disfellowshipping in wt and the way masons describe their disfellowshipping
in wt, the abusers are promoted and the publicly produced information on disfellowshipping is just for show
what goes on behind the scenes is very different from what is written about in the publications
