The same god who could create people by forming them from clay would have had no issue with inseminating a human female with an offspring made up of completely unique genetic material. Mary was not impregnated in the normal sense, so there is no reason that she would pass along her DNA to Jesus.

Did Jesus have a Y chromosome?
by Fisherman ineven in jesus’s day, humans had chromosomes.
and so did jesus —because he was human.
so let’s say jesus took a dna test, his mitochondrial dna would go back to eve but interestingly jc also would inherit dna from sinful adam on his mother’s side because his mother mary passed on to jc dna from both adam and eve.

I see he's as aggressive as ever, bullying people while accusing them of bullying him.
And it appears that his moral barometer is fine with "as long as no one can prove I exploited anyone, I should be good."

Toblerone5: I'm french ,do english peoples use this word hoodlum?
It's a familiar term in the USA, though I recall that long ago it was meant to refer to members of organized crime groups. These days it is used to refer to any common small-time criminal or ne'er-do-well. The word is also often shortened to 'hood.'

Watchtower lawyer fined for misleading the court
by Diogenesister inwatchtower lawyer david brumley has been fined for misleading the court during the discovery process of the montana case.
the result was another 17 months of the courts time and the plaintiff having to produce evidence that wtpa did have a pivotal role in congregational business, which brumley had denied hoping that the courts would take his word for it.
he will be personally responsible for reimbursing the costs accrued by the plaintiff, due to his misleading affidavit.. see mark o donnell's twitter statement here:https://twitter.com/mark_j_odonnell/status/1562205475374043136?t=emdh163jnfi8kb6zch-uga&s=19.

Listener: This is in the Nivember 2022 Watchtower
That's an interesting paragraph. They point out that the Russian brothers support each other by showing up in court, but they make sure not to specifically encourage that behavior elsewhere, choosing instead of ask that they find "other practical ways" to support one another.
My guess is that they don't want JWs showing up during these court proceedings, where they might learn things that the WTS prefers they only hear from the organization's mouth.

punkofnice: The term CULT springs to mind.
That's what it is. Question everything, except what we tell you.
The WTS stance, for a very long time, has been to give the impression that you can test what they say with the Scriptures to see if they are being truthful. But what they are specifically saying is that, if you test what they say with the Scriptures, you will see that they are being truthful. It's not a subtle difference! The latter is making clear that if you disagree with them, you are going against the will of Jehovah and are at risk of eternal death.
And it is not a matter of whether they got it right or wrong, but whether you followed them. If you test them and find that they got it wrong and you got it right, Jehovah is upset at you for getting too far ahead of his 'light.'

The part they did not show is when, at some point during the meal, the group starts reminiscing about food in the old system and they talk about eating bacon and pork sausage and how much they miss it. Then they hear a retching sound and turn to find Joseph yakking up his salad in horror.

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.
