Why worship Jesus?

Foundational Theology of Watchtower: We cease to exist when we die, right?  Jesus was just a man, right? (Michael the archangel ceased to be, Jesus became man on earth, died, then Micheal came back into being, right?) SO THEN:  So is Micheal the archangel your saviour or is Jesus?  The New World Translation was altered by the Watchtower to change "Lord" to "Jehovah" in the New Testament where they think that it should be. So why didn't they change all of the post - crucifixion names from Jesus to Micheal?  Why does the Watchtower, governing body, all members use the name Jesus if Jesus has ceased to be & Micheal is in heaven at the right hand of God? Jesus doesn't exist anymore, so why do you pray in Jesus's name? Why is the foundation of the religion that Jesus returned in 1914, not Micheal?  Why didn't Micheal correct all of his followers after he joined the apostles to teach them for 40 days after Jesus ceased to exist?  If Jehovah create...

Who is your mediator?

  The Bible states that Jesus is our mediator, and his ransom is for all. "… one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all ." 1 Timothy 2:5,6 "So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31 "Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) pp.10-11 If Jesus is only mediator for the few thousand remaining remnant on earth, who is mediator for the millions of Jehovah's Witnesses that do not form part of the 144,000? "The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is...

Dr. Julius R. Mantey

Greek scholar Misquoted by Watchtower - p1158 Kingdom Interlinear Translation      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s69sc6o4qXA Greek-Scholar Dr. Julius Mantey … His Letter To The Watchtower The Letter of Dr. Julius Mantey to the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society In Response to a Letter from the WTB&TS to CARIS On the Use of the Dana Mantey Greek Grammar July 11, 1974 Dear Sirs: I have a copy of your letter addressed to Caris in Santa Ana, California, and I am writing to express my disagreement with statements made in that letter, as well as in quotations you have made from the Dana-Mantey Greek Grammar. (1) Your statement: “their work allows for the rendering found in the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures at John 1:1.”  There is no statement in our grammar that was ever meant to imply that “a god” was a permissible translation in John 1:1. A. We had no “rule” to argue in support of the trinity. B. Nei...

What does Jesus say?

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John 1:1 John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14 Philippians 2:5-7 “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” – Philippians 2:5-7 Hebrews 1:3 “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” – Hebrews 1:3 Colossians 1:15 “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” – Colossians 1...

Upon a hillside, sloping towards the south, we joined hands around the grave and sang: 'Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.' Our last lingering look upon the scene recalled the peaceful manner of our Pastor's 'passing beyond the veil.' Brother Rutherford's words came to mind: 'I am glad this prison experience was reserved for us, rather than for our dear Brother Russell.' We visi...
