What you wrote concerning the JWS is how you have witnessed their dealings with the Scriptural accounts.
NO! I was just trying to understand the difference in the posts by each.

However, it is not correct, when the "utterance of the governing body's interpretation" is contrary to the Scriptural intended factual meaning.

True, there is only one body of Jesus Christ. The One HE was rebuilding is the same one which was Peter was proclaiming at Pentecost and Stephen was preaching when he was stoned to death. Acts 7;38-39+, "This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,..."
The "fathers" at Sinai and at the crucifixion, "thrust HIM from them".

It is only when one refuses to hear and obey the instructions of the "Living GOD" that one---not only, but exhibits a lack of intelligence.---their "fruit."

The teachings of the scriptures are the "Truth"---not necessarily what man's interpretation states.
Then, we agree!

Yes. Should I thank you for telling me what I am doing?
NO! I was just trying to understand the difference in the posts by each.

Like I said.

THEY equate Jesus' words with the governing body. Did you not know that?
How could I?

No. There is only one spiritual body. They are not it. But I was a member of their group for approximately twenty years.

Do I look stupid?
