ob·tuse

/əbˈt(y)o͞os,äbˈt(y)o͞os/

adjective

1.
annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand.
"he wondered if the doctor was being deliberately obtuse"

Jesus is the Mediator only for anointed Christians. WT 4/1/79 p

w89 8/15 pp. 30-31
1 Timothy 2:5, 6 is not using “mediator” in the broad sense common in many languages. It is not saying that Jesus is a mediator between God and all mankind. Rather, it refers to Christ as legal Mediator (or, “attorney”) of the new covenant, this being the restricted way in which the Bible uses the term.

Myriads and Myriads of Angels ... What Do They Do?

by RubaDub in

i never understood this in my entire life in the borg.. who knows how many angels there are, millions, billions?.

an angel protected rahab when the walls of jericho fell.

then one angel killed 24,000 one night.. yet there seems to be this paranoia in the borg like the bunker video and the field video where jw's are under attack and apparently alone or at least it appears alone.. can't a few angels be put on overtime and protect the brothers from the potential "authorities" that wish to harm or eliminate them?.

Angels make for fantastic artistic expression. Think of the paintings, movies, music videos, memes, we get because of them.

"The first question is:
On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?

The second is:
Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism."

Perry is spot on. (Watchtower 2006 May 15 p.22 ) As was I in my earliest post, the one right after the OP.

Unlike Perry, I have lost interest in backing up my assertions with WT print propaganda.

The "anger" of EX- Jehovah's Witnesses

Not that I don’t agree with your meme. I just love that quote.

I spent a lot of years being angry. I sunk it into activism. Then a lot of activists also made me angry.

What makes me less angry is accepting that WT is not going away. I recognize that there is a path of destruction in its wake. I channeled my anger into love for those suffering. I feel better helping to put them back together than I do focusing on blasting WT 24/7.

Not that it is wrong. I did it. Other activists are adept at it. I’m happy for them to take the reigns.

I sense much fear in you. Fear leads anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

It has been stated repeatedly and referenced by WT literature in multiple posts. The GC have no mediator. They are latchers on trying to gain paradise by extension.

It’s like chain migration.

The morality thing worked when I was an adolescent.

Don’t steal, don’t cheat, don’t fight, don’t swear, don’t fool around with boys, don’t do drugs, don’t drink.

Or it will make Jehovah sad.

But it doesn’t stick. Us born ins just got really good at sneaking around.

Rule 1. Don’t get caught

Rule 2. If caught, deny, deny, deny.

Rule 3. If more than a single witness, demand photos or video.

Rule 4. If it hits the fan, beg, plead, cry, roll on the floor....

yep an awesome foundation for morality.
