    Hi,

    To dispute Michael is Jesus...Hebrews 1:4-5: So he has become better than the angels to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs. 5: For example: to which one of the angels did God, ever say,."You are my son; today I have become your father? And again: I will become his father, and he will become my Son?

    Another scripture that I think shows that Jesus is Jesus not Michael; Luke 2:21:in part it says he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived. In the King James it says which was so named of the angel before he was conceived...so the org. should have used the King James version if they wanted to prove Michael was or is Jesus.

    When my husband was the school overseer, he always was prepared to do backup for the elders assigned. So many traveled out of town unannounced and did not keep track of any assignments. So I helped him by looking up each verse in the bible highlights. It was amazing how many the WTS never used.

    My husband said there were probably only 200 verses the WTS used yearly.

    (and only 40 out of 225 songs too)

    Once,a long time ago, while in fs, I met a Mormon man at the door. We had a nice talk about what was wrong with each other's religion. lol

    In our discussion he pointed out to me that jw's claim to 'know the bible' but in reality only use about 50-75 scriptures from the bible in their core teachings. Of course, I disagreed then but he was correct. JW's don''t know the bible, they know 50-75 scriptures. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    just saying!
