hi, i want to leave my personal opinion on the matter of russian government's banning on the activity of jehovah's witnesses in their territory.
i think it's more or less important because bearing a certain opinion is related with the quality of life.
I just love the fact elders are going to be called into backroom meetings , harassed and have secret files made about there activities by the russian police. I really hope the irony isn't lost on them.
The part I hate is boy this is going to encourage the ubers like nothing we have seen in our lifetime. Every fucking week it's going to be double field service for our poor Russian brothers under restrictions and the money they are going to be begging for. Yuck
lately i have been studying some basic christology and jesus in the old testament and why first christians believed jesus was god in the flesh.
really interesting stuff.
i am not really sure if i fully understand it but i do now realize why pastors go to university and bible school for a number of years and also how their beliefs are not just based on a few verses that can be edited in the nwt.
I am not trying to start an argument about the trinity.
The great point I am trying to make is when I studied with the elders and asked my questions, all I got was bombarded with literature. It was like being attacked by an octopus releasing a cloud of ink.
" what the new convanent is why we are not included in it ".
" why Jesus is just a god in John 1 "
" what the phrase visible image of the invisible god really means ".
so on and so on. I soon realized either the elders I were studying with were really really lazy or generally didn't really understand what they were trying to explain.
Now my question here is when you were in , did you understand the incredibly complex and twisted explanations of the WTS or did those briefcase full of books just make you sleep better at night.

Any attempt to have a theological discussion here just turns into atheist agnostic mush.
Depressing

The point I was trying to make , wherever there is a verse in the bible concerning the diety of Christ, there are entire websites dedicated to deconstructing each verse. It's either not what the author meant or a corrupt rendering of the verse.
Now the fun part is trying to read some of these explanations. They are insanity twisted andr ridiculously complex. All about the same level of the societies explanation of how long a generation is.
Has anyone looked at any of these explanations or am I just stupid?

I do believe Jesus being a physical manifestation of God in the flesh in both the old and new really holds more credibility if the scriptures are sincerely studied.

Jesus and his God
Or
Jesus son of jehovah
Both sites are decided to disproving trinity proof texts with insanely long and complex explanations.

I think it's unfair to compare academic theology to watchtower who ha. Of course that is more personal opinion.
The problem I have is there are websites just dedicated to obscuring and isolating bible certain bible verses. Just try and Jesus and his God or Robert king. Freaking nuts.
for those not aware:- during the circuit visit there is a meeting with elders &ministerial servants based on an outline.
the mss are dismissed then local matters (eg new elders, meeting attendance etc) are discussed.
recently there has also been a part of the outline just for elders - one year it was about stopping anyone dressing in a "gender blurring" way from going on the ministry.. the latest visit has a section of the outline for elders.
I find it odd that a group of men would have a meeting about someone masterbating and would think it was anyone of their business. I think it is kind of don't ask don't tell territory.
Also who the hell would take their child or spouse the elders about it ?
Sorry, a little off topic.
front of jw.org has this article.... https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/archangel-michael/.
i am at work right now so can't examine it very close but was just curious what some of you more knowledgeable ones think of it?.
Exodus 23 20-22 NWT
“See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. 21 Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him
Jude 1 5 NWT
Although you are fully aware of all of this, I want to remind you that Jehovah,* having saved a people out of the land of Egypt,
So the WTS believes Jesus is the angel that lead the jews out of Egypt , which later turns into Jehovah, which in the 5000 copies of the surviving new testament manuscripts is kind of split between Jesus and LORD.
The more they try and separate Jesus and Jehovah , the more the theology just turns into nonsense.
