jesus was a real and historical person (not the way jws or the rest of the people think him to be) because of the following historical facts:.
1) the fact that the most influential political establishment of that time (roman empire) was convinced that jesus’ name would sell to suit their political agenda (to promote slavery) shows that jesus was as historical as roman empire itself; hence they implanted slavery-friendly verses into the bible as though spoken by jesus (such as mathew 5:39, 41; 24:45 ..etc) this was in contrast to the real personality jesus really was—he was a man of courage, who ‘walked alone to do what is right if those invited refused to accompany him.’ when his family and disciples were fond of sleeping, his delight was to spend early morning hours alone, in meditation, with god to the extent he could say he was “one” with qualities of god.
(mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2; 10:30) such a person would naturally be too famous and too crowd-pulling against whom even the influential people were helpless even when they were whipped out of the temple which reminds us of “hollywood rambo style” merely because of his moral authority (not that he had any supernatural powers to perform miracles).. 2) similarly, emerging religion (apostate christianity) too knew they could misuse the name of jesus to serve its commercial agenda.
There is some evidence that just maybe one of the rebel leaders of the Jewish revolt was turned into Jesus and then the mythology and god like messianic qualities added later, maybe as spite.
Just like so many other bible characters Moses, Nimrod, David, Solomon, etc. these all could of been based off a real person or mythological character from a different place or time and then made to be a real person in the Bible.
i wondered about that when i heard garret loesch state that shortly before the tribulation the governing body would be taken up.
.
if this is the case, it seems like garret and the other seven would be there just in time to help out in the killing of billions.. i thought they used to say that some would survive armageddon before they were taken up..
The GB think their the 24 elders the judges and the 144k but in reality their none of the above.
i think this has somewhat been touched on with regard to wt protecting the abuser, but it didn't make too much sense to me until i watch kimmy's video from two hours ago.
she talks about coc on amazon until minute two, so skip if you like.

As soon as all data is digital they can destroy it at anytime and they will!!!
its been awhile since i've commented but i come by and read your posts about once a week.
so why do i need a pep talk ?
after almost 2 years into my fade these bastards won't give it a rest constant hang ups on my answering machine and today for the first time in about 6 months they come to my apartment complex but thankfully couldn't get in they did keep buzzing me so they were here looking for me.
Just keep doing what your doing they’ll give up.
my mom has gone into assisted living and i've discovered a treasure trove of old wt publications, 2 interlinear bibles for example.
is anyone interested in these?
i live in seattle..
I would be and live south of Seattle
picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.
Reminds me of when I go to a game or an event in the stadiums near me. There’s always these Christian guys yelling though mega phones and others walking around with big signs over their heads. Now these guys don’t get much attention so why would anyone care about some JW freaks standing still next to a cart? Just stupid so stupid!!!!
i thought it would be enlightening to see what jws said 100 years ago.
it's no different as we check out the jan 1, 1918 watch tower and herald of christ's presence.. .
Rinse and repeat rinse and repeat. They don’t even have to write new info just pull up an old one and reprint.
today is the 49th anniversaryof my parole from federal prison.
in french, "parole" means 'word of honor'.in effect, a prisoner promises the authorities they will be honorable.. in 1967, i violated the u.s. military training and service act.about 25,000 draft age americans simply ran away to canada.i did not run.
i stayed and gave my 'witness.".
Please share again how the local leaders of the cult basically blamed you for going to prison at some later date? I don’t remember the details.
what do you think would happen if i verbally refuse to report my time?
it's been several months since i turned in my time and i think the elder got tired of asking me lol.
frankly, i think it's stupid that jws are required to do this.
Don’t sweat the field service report crap instead work on your husband and his desire to get reinstated. Try and wake him up!
just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.
i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.
trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.
Russia doesn’t stand a chance against the US unless Nukes are involved. I’m thinking trump maybe wanting to push the issue to get Putin to back down.
