Kjw how would you interpret the Bible verse about not working on the Sabbath? Or the Bible verse that says a woman who is married but cannot prove her virginity when questioned should be stoned to death? Do you abide by such scriptures? If not, why do JWs get to pick and choose which verses to follow/change the interpretation of over the years if, as you know the Bible verse which says " the whole Bible is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching". So why?

When Jesus brought the new covenant=LOVE--the Mosaic law was abolished--Yet the bible teaches it didn't fully die but that Law would be written on ones heart.
This is BS. JWs do not do disaster relief work. Their idea of helping people is to give them propaganda and try to recruit them. I know they did some help only to other JWs in disaster areas but its very small and only to help get them back out preaching again.
Exactly. Watchtower will go into a disaster area and hail themselves as relief workers. All Watchtower workers are devoted JWs (many with kind hearts and good intentions, I do believe), volunteers who take a leave of absence from their employment, or quit their jobs to assist. They volunteer at their own expense. (Note: I'm not saying volunteering is a bad thing, but it is the individual JW that's sacrificing and doing charitable work, not Watchtower). The materials used in the repairs are donated from JWs or JW sympathizers who own supply companies or self-pay for the supplies.
The volunteers are organized by Watchtower to work only on kingdom halls and a few homes of their members. Watchtower Corporation then soaks up any publicity from the local media sources and chronicles the event for their literature and website. And this is the most important part: They make it known to the congregants that they expect to be reimbursed in the form of any insurance money that is received by the local JWs to show appreciation for Jehovah's generosity in getting them back up and running.
No real interpretation comes through Jesus' appointed teachers. The rest are in darkness--a divided house that will not stand-Mark 3:24-26)

As usual, you just make up the argument as you go along, slipping from one excuse or evasion to another and losing sight of the argument.
So apart from who were the teachers (now gone) and who will be the teachers (in these supposed last days)...who Are the the appointed teachers now, though which 'real interpretation' comes? And who appointed them? And do their appointments stand up to scrutiny? Because if the other Interpreters are 'in darkness' (and thus interpret wrongly) how do you tell the appointed present day interpreters from the ones in darkness?

Those are some good questions. I have studied Jesus for over 50 years.( from all sides) I guarantee to all that his teachings in every translation on earth back the JW teachers.
Jesus real teachers make sure--EVERY utterance from God is learned over and over, year after year. Why? Because Jesus said man MUST live by EVERY utterance--He meant every word he said.
I share 6 very important teachings from Jesus in every sight like this--those 6 teachings are found in every translation on earth, yet not one single Trinitarian will believe those teachings. I have been kicked out of trinity run sights for sharing what Jesus taught.
