Are you convinced what the Gospels say about Jesus is true?
by Fisherman inprobably, the greatest advocacy for the gospels is the jw publication: the greatest man that ever lived.
it convinced me.. everything else that the bible says about the resurrection and eternal life logically follows.. the testimony of a “witness” in court matters only if it is observation not commentary ( expert witness is also commentary): what did you see, what did you hear, what is the magnitude of your measurement.
not, are you convinced; that is only belief.

The gospel assertions make only sense if the preceding bible account is true.
Do we have scientific evidence of any of it, form Gen. 1:1, the earth is 13.8 billion years old to the talking snake, vegetarians all until the end of the flood, lapping above everest? If not, Consider that
Death is not an enemy, but a gift you render to your offspring, a tool that the father uses to make life better, more evolved? The ransom is, to recognize that, and go gracefully? so,
for that I am not convinced that the gospels are true. but there can be other evidences.

Jesus's bread illustration, JW Broadcasting silly bread illustration
by RULES & REGULATIONS injw broadcasting.
'' this is garlic powder.
the son of adam tainted our pure relationship with jehovah.

Now, garlic powder is not poison.
In this week's wt study "Trust the brothers" in paragraph 16 is another possible food poisoning illustration. Evidently referring to the F&DS dispensations, it asked: Would you stop eating just because it gave you food poisoning before? or words to that effect.
Good that wt writers unwittingly admitted that their product can be sickening and has possibly been lethal. like
advising not to eat of the bread of life of John 6 refereed to above.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

At least with the all anointed F&DS class there were always anointed since pentecost, Bible writers were part of the slave, now, with the 1919 belated recognition, all those old folks were outside the recognized elite.
Most NT writings were done outside the inner circle too. Spiritual food from wild sources. food for thought. Paragraph 16 of this Sunday's study.

You can [not] trust the Brothers, wt study this week
by waton infor the lucid lurkers: # 37. the article's examples really show, that among the 'name people' only 50 % of rank and file, and none of the leaders can be trusted all the time.
but, shut up and put up.. eli and hannah, eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ?
inaction by wt approved?

Eli and Hannah, Eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ? inaction by wt approved? wait on the deity instead of cleaning the stable themselves?
Ahithophel joined Absolom in rebellion against his father David, but Hushai remained loyal. 50% trustworthy, but what a nice ruling family, An adulterer murder as a leader, -- your wife daughter might be next. or The next census might kill you, or as a priest in charge of pole-carrying the ark, David usurps your duty, and puts it on a carriage and you die trying to keep it from falling.
If you are out on wt assignment, do not trust your wife, daughter with the likes of David. bathing beauties beware ( Bath-sheba story). and witnessed in person.
The Nabal, Abigail, David triangle . Nabal trusted his beautiful wife that she could dissuade David to kill them all. ha ha. but David , a nice protector to have. ready to kill you over protection payments. 100% failure of leaders.
Jesus tolerating infighting , lobbying in his "organisation" ("it is not given to me--) If they could do it then, we can do it now.
#16, example of occasional food poisoning. so, How about wt's spiritual food, toxic again and again. we need beaf eaters. sacrifices have to be made.
wt readers beware: examples show, leader examples 100% failures. members 50%, spiritual food might be poisonous again.

new covenant and covenant for a kingdom...the same?
by enoughisenough injw teach that at the "last supper", a covenant for a kingdom was instituted ( as i understand it ) and so it was only for the "anointed" who would become these kings.
if we look at matt 26:27,28 ...taking the cup..."drink out of it, all of you, for this means my 'blood of the covenant', which is to be poured out in behalf of the many for forgiveness of sins.
( i brought this up in another posting.

The New Covenant is for forgiveness of sins, nobody needs the New Covenant more than who wt calls "the other sheep" who since 1918, and still have the wt promise: " --- Millions now living will never die " I f you do not die for your sins, you better be in the ransom-based New Covenant. Therefore
Partake, privately.

The promise of rulership for the 12 was already given in Mathew 19:28. it was repeated after the last supper celebration, was again not part of it.
The slight of hand that wt speakers perform at the memorial talk, to slip in the kingdom covenant instead of the new covenant, is set in all the deceitful outlines.
In Israel of old, the Law covenant was for all, even the foreign resident. additional exclusive covenants were made for kings and priests.
Jesus passed the emblems to disciples with a distinct earthly hope. not anointed at the time.
If partaking of the new Covenant's symbols is indeed a prerequisite for salvation, as per John 6, wt is the deadliest organisation that could have been set up. Guaranteeing to kill 100 % of its members, because even the partakers die to go to heaven.
