  But also, “brother” can also mean and refer to Jesus brothers in the sense of the “heavenly calling”.

  Fm, yes it could, but Jesus said; "all those" . Also, at the time Jesus spoke these words, there was no heavenly calling, even he used language at the last supper for example, that can only be understood to mean an earthly future. Of course he was the second adam, sacrificing his earthly everlasting life.

  The text in Math 25 stipulates strictly humanitarian deeds, to the most needy. wt's twisting of the text to make that equal to support for the wt empire scheme is the worst of it's doctrines. imho.

  " Whoever does the will of my father, who is in heaven, that one is my brother, sister and mother."

  "God's spirit helped "andre" to answer that question" . so wt,

  wt teaches that the brothers of jesus are only the patakers especially those in the head of the wt organisation. misreading Math. 25. But here, according to the wt story teller,

  Roger, a new bible student , perhaps in the "first love of the truth" guided by Holy Spirit, sets you straight.

  " Whoever does the will of my father, who is in heaven, that one is my brother, sister and mother."

  just a note, basements vs attics, bible says the end will not by water, again, so basements are fine as long as it not only prelude to the end. -- see BC, german flood and mud.

  If the end comes trough fire, make that galvanized roofs, joists. hot though, dont touch.

  well, they advocate removing all dissenters, unruly ones, that "will not inherit God's kingdom" those that will end up "as manure on the ground", as a cure for our ills. they have to be kind of "remove the dirt " perfectionist, Not that it does not have merit, Japanese pride has done wonders for the US car industry by way of competition, and I like my airplane mechanic to be a top notch perfectionist,

  but then there is also the sweeping under the rug expediency move. . with an only a partially floor clean of dirt particles.

  corporate structure in the congregations might limit the visitors power. if the congregation "voted" to appoint the the 3 silverbacks permanently, is the Co/ branch going to court? publicly?

  When the green or golden handshake is in danger to turn brown, or transparent, the power balance shifts.

  whoever wrote that fictitious account has not been among a bunch of undisciplined soldiers with a mother and her 15 year old daughter.

  a bullet would be the least of their worries, or a more merciful fate.

  Ah, the good old days. there was actually prior to 1975, the rotating elder arrangement, where the newly created elder positions, were rotated between all the appointees. Imagine

  in September the humblest elder became the president. The bullys, big and small really really hated it.

  It made the coming 1975 paradise more believable, utopia in governance had already arrived.

  The related "new light" is, that these verses in Isaiah, so favoured in the H2H work in the past, do

  not refer to the "New System, " but the returnees from Babylon's captivity hundreds of years before the Christian Era.

  Current wt doctrine is though, that survivors and resurrected ones will make up the Rebel Force after the 1000 years are ended.
