    An old co-worker who trained to be a Jesuit Priest, is very intrigued with the ex-JW movement. We share laughs and have some off-beat phone discussions at times on theology. Yesterday was about money, religion and "WWJD" what would Jesus do if he and the apostles actually returned today.

    We decided he and the apostles would probably be seated around a picnic table in a park with a Laptop writing a "Blog", have a Facebook "Fan Page", and make press releases...making it entirely possible for "every eye to see him".

    The Pope and the Governing Body would denouce them as Heritics. And since they had no fancy church, most "Chistians" would ignore them as homeless.

    He would be as pissed off today with the Christian Pharasees as he was 2,000 years ago. Church leaders would be appaled at the idea of selling comfy digs to help the poor, or the idea that a "blog" could get the work done for a few bucks and no infrastructure.

    The more things change the more they are the same.

    JWs would probably DF him for apostasy.

    I have often thought along similar lines. Obviously, JW dogma doesn't allow for Christ to be physically present in human form prior to Armageddon. However, even if this were to somehow happen, it's difficult to imagine a scenario in which he would immediately be embraced and respected by the current Governing Body.

    Can you imagine some guy wandering into the reception at Brooklyn saying, "I am Jesus Christ. I request an audience with your Governing Body" - without being immediately escorted from the premises? Nah, me neither.

    I've entertained similar humorous hypothetical scenarios surrounding what would have happened if someone turned up at the 1930s bethel HQ claiming to be one of the "ancient worthies". Even if they were speaking perfect biblical Hebrew, I very much doubt Rutherford would've handed over the keys to Beth Sarim quite so easily.

    Cedars, I just needed a good laugh. Thanks. Too bad I don't have a time machine and a costume set used for biblical dramas (perhaps a HD cam as well)...

    Jesuits are followers of the Sun, just take a look at their symbol.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuit

    If you continue to look you will notice that Catholic architecture is very much oriented ab out the worship of the sun and the stars. If you continue to look you will realise that the 12 apostles are in fact the zodiac. Jesus has returned, if we look at the stars, we have left pisces and have just started Aquarius. Two thousand years ago when Jesus was born was the start of the age of pisces, hence the abundance of fish imagery.

    Lastly dont blieve me, believe Josephus he himself said the 12 tribes are actually the 12 signs of the zodiac.

    Re-read your bible again all that magnificent stuff about heaven is simply about the stars and the sun. Replace any text in the NT that says Jesus with Sun and you will notice the text reads very well and true. Lucifer is actually the morning star Venus. Its as simple as that.

    mP:

    The Sun of God is alive today, did you not see the bright light in the morning ? Did you not realise he is both resurrected each morning after his defeat by the night and cold of winter ? Xians everywhere celebrate his birth at the winter solstice and his defeat of the cold at easter or the spring equinox.

    Wake up and smell the coffee, xianity has been telling you both in the bible and alll its art and architecture that Jesus is the Sun.

    Sorry guys, sometimes I just want to believe. But if I can't disprove something then it must be true!
