  I remember back in the day when I tried to get the Bible to agree with Russellism, it was very important what a handful of isolated verses were saying, especially in some less used translation or using the concordance to find some meaning hidden in the popular translations. I try to go with the general flow of what Bible scriptures say and not go too much into speculations 🤭. When it comes to John 1:1, notable scholars have supported that that the Word was divine or a God depending on your interpretation of that incarnate creative uttering. But a god seems to miss any reasonable interpretation of what the Word was in John's day ☺️

  one of the benefits of justification is eternal life for believers.

  i found an interesting passage from the wt, june 15, 1974 which reads:.

  "it is to the spirit anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian-greek scriptures is directed, including the promise of everlasting life.

  1 Tim 6:14-16, an overlooked evidence that Jesus indeed is the Father Jehovah. How odd for the JWs to claim it speaks of their created Jesus

  But yes, JW needs crowds. They see big conventions as evidence of God's blessings

  Only JW I have talked to in real life for many years is a nice older lady working in a cantina. She use to rave about the past conventions, the amazing website and this wonderful app by which you can communicate with foreign people of all languages

  I am not a sports man but sometimes I enjoy watching mma, especially women's mma. It is not misoginy, but just so fascinating watching gender equality taking to the logical extreme. In that light, it can be quite fascinating watching a tomboy woman knockouting another tomboy woman with a kick to the face 😁

  It is very odd that JWs have a problem the ressurection of the holy ones as they accept other ressurections. To strong attest to his Deity perhaps?

  It is speculated that as Adam and Eve were believed to be literal people in a literal earthly garden living on obedience to the Law of God, immortal heavenly life can not be the result of all things reconciled and the works of the Devil destroyed. It is something else. So they invent this earthly class

  I remember reading a Rutherford book where he stated that the great crowd would have a ressurection of judgment. I dont know how it is today, I think the doctrine is difficult to sell. Of course it is closely linked to the JW extra-biblical beliefs about what will go in a millennium
