very well said David, I knew a few JWs of jewish background. why would they embrace WT doctrine with such a valuable, positive outlook, were they , and you back then not clearly aware of these positive, pragmatic (almost deist) jewish values?

12Suffering And The Meaning Of Life
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat is the meaning of life?
we all die, so what is the meaning.
religion tries to bridge the gap with absolutist answers to this problem of existence by giving immortality to it's members in good standing(so join us or parish).helps to pay the bills using fear of annihilation to keep members as a source of material $$uport.

those date-believing apostates.
a-post-ates/
Those that set the post (1975) , namely the wtbts writers were the a-post-ates. still are. Those that saw the newly set post ,1975, just as another landmark in their journey of eternal service to the creator. The creators of 1975 were the WT, The r&f merely ate gobbled or over-lapped up the good news . after all it was good news to be finished with H&H in only six years.
a post: 1975, set by wt,
ate: devoured as timely spiritual food by devoted and sincere servants of what the imagined as the creator.

My birth certificate has me marked as WHITE-HISPANIC, though I am neither. DJ.
Nothing personal, just the observation, that in my home country, the jews, by virtue of their names, were the most german germans around, the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers and Dreifuss. Then a Jewish customer answered my question about that: These local sounding names were given these families for taxation purposes.

This is a trick question, right?
Ask the OP, Crazyguy, The Ashkenazi surely were considered part of the white race?
Freud, Marx, Einstein? probably more Nobel laureates per capita?

The ongoing 1975 affair showed some jw members at their finest, and wt at it's worst. This theater piece when analyzed, will cement that fact; hopefully all the way to the cemetery.

follow up for above: Some of these 1975 zealots were so qualified. that their companies, like IBM in at least one case, set them up to do their work "by wire" from the remote location "where the final need is great".
These now maligned "servers of a date" (hello wt!) are the ones that , in the NW, instead of moving to their lakeside resort, were ready to take on the next bible dated task, : The seven year "marking of bones and cadavers" that was to precede the cleanup, and much later waterfront lounging.
There should be a great need to stand up and leave in protest from the oldtimer section, when, or after, hat character assassination is shown. after all, when it makes you sick, ...., and when nature calls....

Those that sold houses, suspended their businesses, semi-retired, moved, were not serving for a date. That is a libelous classification. They were the zealous most sincere, and not stupid ones, that were willing to give it [almost] all in final spurt in the "work that will never be repeated"
wt is not just blaming, but slandering it's former, most devoted followers.
but hey, if "jehovah" can do it to "Jonah", wt can do it to jws.

In the context Paul seems to use the case of a widow, that is no longer under her late husband's authority, or law.
A dying person becomes free of accountability for his sins, because there is no way to make any action stick. Now, about those scrolls that are opened? and judged according to their works that are remembered? ?
It seems that at death, any debt, any accountability for sin, inherited or accumulated becomes simply unenforceable, Puff-gone. Perhaps even more so, if the death, sin is only symbolic.
