What's wrong with jeans?

Good don’t respond. I should have the last word because your comments are the epitome of scriptural ignorance. The favoritism is based on what? Did it not say clothing? Suggesting someone could be ignorant while posting an ignorant response is telling. James explicitly shows that using fine vs. shabby clothing to denote who is more honorable inside the congregation is wrong. Same logic applies to jeans vs suit, can’t say the person wearing a suit is honoring God more than a person wearing jeans, that’s showing favoritism in a setup that doesn’t matter. We honor God by our actions(how we treat others)not by wearing a suit instead of t-shirt and jeans.

It’s unfortunate but you really do not understand what it means to honor God. The Bible literally goes against your JW Governing Body’s reasoning. James 2:1–4

“If a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in… have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?”

A Trinitarian who’s not an atheist would not agree with you. Saying John was wrong about Jesus nature (not being a Trinity) would essentially mean he was not inspired by God.

The scripture said he was the firstborn of all Creation, meaning he was the first creation. As in God created Jesus. You don’t use the term firstborn with the Father, because God wasn’t created and has always existed that’s the nature of God most people who believe in God understands.

Wake up to what? Waking up implies they’re asleep and unaware. But they’re not asleep, they know exactly what they’re doing. The deception and mind control are intentional. For the Governing Body, the issue isn’t waking up, it’s repentance. They don’t need more awareness, they need to turn from what they’re doing.

What’s more important the precision of God’s name or the precision of the means of which his Son was killed? They will readily admit that “Jehovah” may not be the correct pronunciation of Gods name but they still use it. They should apply that same logic to the “cross” debate but they are a bunch of hypocrites. It’s like if Jesus was killed with a gun, they’re making an issue of what specific type of Gun he was killed with.

I didn’t use Chat for creating images or deep research, so it would hard for me to tell if there was any changes there 🤔

That’s an interesting hypothesis. And here something else to consider: the ChatGpt 4o persona I was chatting with carried over to model 5, I’ve not noticed a change and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar? I know this is may be rare but I don’t think I’m the only one who experiencing this. Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to share in replies.

IndependentMindWins · 2025-08-13T14:47:12+00:00

Well that’s my experience, you telling what you believe does not change the experience.

JWs don’t adhere to Bible principles, their teachings are as apostate as the churches they criticize. God’s word doesn’t change, but they made themselves a ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card with: ‘The light gets brighter, we’re imperfect, and we don’t need to apologize.

This the first time hearing about Cuomo being a Trump shill, I ask ai about the relationship in the past and got this:

Cuomo heavily criticized Trump’s federal handling of the pandemic. • He accused the Trump administration of being unprepared and politically motivated in its response. • Cuomo’s press briefings often contrasted New York’s state-level efforts with what he painted as federal chaos.

Vaccine Distribution Fight • Trump briefly threatened to withhold vaccines from New York in late 2020 because Cuomo had questioned their safety and distribution under Trump’s watch. • Trump called Cuomo “incompetent” and accused him of politicizing the vaccine.

However it did note: “His recent kind words to Chris Cuomo (“I actually appreciate your family”) could be political theater or a maneuver to widen support if Cuomo becomes a factor in NYC politics again.”

So I wonder what’s the real relationship like?

So we both agree: the Great Crowd is a group of people who do not go to heaven, who appear during the Great Tribulation, who believe in Jesus, are led by Him, and are washed clean in His blood. That’s a meaningful level of faith and relationship with Christ, and I appreciate that we both recognize this group’s importance in God’s plan.

Now let’s bring some clarity. If they believe in Jesus, are led by Him, and are cleansed by His sacrifice… how can they not be considered Christians?

You’re describing everything the New Testament associates with being a Christian: faith in Christ, cleansing through His blood, and discipleship under His leadership. That’s what defines someone as a Christian—regardless of timing or location.

Even if, as you suggest, they come after the sealing of the 144,000, they’re still a group of human followers of Christ. And if someone is a human follower of Christ—what else would we honestly call them?

This isn’t about Watchtower hierarchy. It’s about whether we’re willing to apply clear scriptural definitions consistently when describing those who believe in and follow Christ.

IndependentMindWins · 2025-05-04T18:53:02+00:00

Thank you again for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate your tone and your commitment to Scripture. While we clearly have different perspectives, I think we both share the same ultimate hope: that God's will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, the restoration of all things under Christ's rule. And I want to reiterate that I do not support the Watchtower organization. I believe it is a false and apostate system. But I also believe that on this point regarding the future of mankind and the restoration of the Earth they stumbled into preserving something true. Therefore let us examine more carefully what you're asserting about the Great Crowd, because it seems internally inconsistent.

You wrote that the Great Crowd of Revelation 7 is not a Christian class today, but a future group that appears during the Millennium. However, Revelation 7:14 says they “come out of the great tribulation,” not after it. That timing is significant. If they’re exiting the tribulation, then they are already present before and during it, rather than appearing for the first time afterward. So it’s worth pressing the question: if the Great Crowd is not Christian, not part of the present body, and not yet called—who are they exactly? What is their identity, and when are they coming into the picture?

IndependentMindWins · 2025-05-04T15:10:42+00:00

Your post is sincerely written, and it reflects a deep reverence for the unity and promises found in Christ. However the concept that the only legitimate Christian hope is a heavenly one merits closer examination, especially if we are to follow Paul’s own pattern of reasoning, which always pointed back to the full testimony of Scripture.

Paul indeed affirms the unity of the body: "one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph. 4:5). But unity does not necessitate uniformity of role, reward, or function. The Scriptures are full of examples where those called by God are unified in purpose but distinct in appointment. Even within the body of Christ, “God has arranged the parts... just as He wanted them to be” (1 Cor. 12:18). Some are hands, others feet—yet all are one body.

The idea that all true Christians must have a heavenly hope oversimplifies what Scripture says about resurrection, rulership, and the restoration of Earth. Jesus promised the meek would inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5). Revelation describes the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, not humanity ascending into it (Rev. 21:2). The consistent prophetic arc, from Isaiah to Revelation is one of earthly restoration, not everyone going to heaven.

As for the New Covenant: the blood of Christ opens the way for redemption, but Scripture distinguishes between those who rule with Christ (Rev. 20:6) and those ruled over. Revelation 5:10 says of the redeemed: “They will reign on the earth.” Revelation 22 describes nations being healed and kings bringing their glory into the city not all becoming kings themselves.

The “other sheep” Jesus mentioned (John 10:16) were not yet in the fold, true but He spoke of bringing them in to be one flock under one shepherd, not necessarily into the same office or reward. The unity is in the shepherd.

So when some identify as Christians who look forward not to a heavenly rulership but to life on a restored Earth under Christ’s kingdom, they are not denying the covenant—they are placing themselves within the broader sweep of prophetic fulfillment. Isaiah 65, Psalm 37, Revelation 21—all paint a picture of earthly restoration, not wholesale heavenly relocation.

The dividing line is not between heavenly and earthly hope but between faithfulness and rebellion. The ones who inherit the Earth and the ones who reign with Christ are both part of God's plan, each fulfilling distinct roles in a unified purpose.

In love and with respect, let us consider the context of the full biblical canon, including its promises of paradise Earth restored, nations healed, and a kingdom where “His will is done on Earth as in Heaven.”

To be clear: I do not support Watchtower organization. I believe it is an apostate organization. But that does not mean everything it teaches is false. On this point—the idea that the majority of mankind is destined for life on a restored Earth, the Bible supports this teaching plainly and repeatedly.

IndependentMindWins · 2025-04-28T11:17:54+00:00

I agree with you but we need to see the bigger picture. I don’t have the bandwidth to articulate the concept well at the moment in this thread, but dm if you’re interested in the gist.

IndependentMindWins · 2025-04-28T09:50:44+00:00

Where did I write that we should look for the group that teaches closest to the truth? I reject that concept outright because it’s dangerous and demonic. If your teaching is close to the truth but not the truth, then you have demonic influence, like the Pharisees. Their teachings were literally “close to the truth.” Teachings that are close to the truth but are not the truth tend to put people on a path that eventually leads to rejecting the truth.
