Did Jesus have a Y chromosome?

by Fisherman in

even 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.

Fisherman: Yeah right. All the sworn oaths about him being related to Abraham and Judah and David and Solomon….were lies.

Well... yeah, aren't they? Mixing a bit of DNA to make him their heir seems like the most technical of technicalities. That lineage was not going to produce a god without the actual intervention of god. So the genealogy was not a scientific or medical record of any kind, it was showing the familial lines that led to the two people who would be allowed to serve as god's parents.

Starting September 01, 2022, the Angels will help in the ministry work

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.

and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.

not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.

Relying on the Angels is a bad idea, they're having an absolutely terrible season.

Fisherman: Jesus genealogy through Mary is listed in the Bible.

So is his genealogy through Joseph. I doubt Yahweh was worried that Mary would get a blood test and find out that he wasn't the real father.

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.

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.'

Apostates apparently have their own terminology

by Vanderhoven7 in

a dyed in the wool witness actually posted this as if non-witnesses invented unheard of terminology,.

"those who devote their life to criticize jehovah’s witnesses use a lot of very specific expressions and ideas common only to them:.

“8 old men in new york”,.

Watchtower lawyer fined for misleading the court

by Diogenesister in

watchtower 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.
