No one can be a High Priest after Jesus' Resurrection, which is why the Judaism is no longer God's priesthood or exclusive people. That ended with his death and shown by the taring of the curtain in the Temple. It was no longer God's house or Temple. Over and done.

Good, they appreciate that and would not want someone who uses such words to be one.

That is sad. That means you don't have a clue as to what Jesus actually taught.

Yes pure from this world that Jesus taught to be no part of--the govts and false religions that are misleading-99%

They do have some truths that are written in the bible as do all denomination of christianity.

They teach - no trinity

They teach - no immortal soul

They teach - no eternal torment but then they teach eternal destruction.

They teach - Michael the Archangel(chief messenger) was Jesus prior to earth but they say Jesus is a
created angel

They teach - only 144,000 are going to heaven. Yes and no. Yes only 144,000 in this age, salvation
for all, in time, in their own order, all will go to heaven.


They rest of what they believe is what falls from the back end of a donkey.

I have studied Jesus and his teachings in many translations. There isn't a translation on earth that the teachings of Jesus don't back what the JW teachers teach--How is that? The REAL Jesus pointed his followers to his God and Father. To worship him in spirit and truth( John 4:22-24) = the bottom line reality of it all.
He warned all of you that on account of the name Jesus, that some would do things against the true followers-Why? because they didn't know the one who sent him= Father=YHVH(Jehovah) John 15:20-21
