So there is no distinction between what the Catholics thought Jesus looked like, and the organization.  Hmmm.  No spiritual insight by those in “Jehovah’s organization” (yes, I said it again) that Jesus was a native Jew and probably took on the characteristics of a native Jew, as his cousin John the Baptist did in the drawing above. You are telling me that no distinction is seen in this area between Christendom's perception and the organization's perception. 

Hmmm. No spiritual insight by you and your kind.

You can show depiction of Jesus all you want. It doesn’t prevent the fact that you are wrong just like your former religion was wrong, just like your new religion is wrong.

It is a futile endeavor to insinuate what you and science think Jesus looked like. The Watchtower just like everyone else can be confident, Jesus didn’t have long hair just like your depiction shows. His skin color was native to the Nazarene's. Olive color. Some stipulate Jesus was a lighter shade of olive color. What his eye color was, is debatable. What clothes he wore is debatable. If people had their feet washed, sandals were probably used.

Another mistake made by you to justify your inconsistent message.

Scripture does stipulate in 1 Corinthians 11:14 the roles in worship. If you can’t understand scripture, why bother with pictures.

Today’s depiction of Christ by the Watchtower regardless of the criticism here by you is closer to being correct than how Christendom, still continues to portray Christ including yourself.

As vitriolic as the spiteful crticisms of apostate opposers are, there is a remarkable tide of recognition of the integrity of Jehovah's Witnesses, even among those who do not share our beliefs.

That's true, but it would not attract as much attention. Rutherford had been a political marketer before following Russell/WT/Bible Students. This is why he would ADV/ADV/ADV. And why gimmicks like pu

Nobody but nobody has “apostates” like Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is almost as though I am proud of them. Every NT writer wrote about opposition and apostasy. If it happened then, it should happen now. W

None of us here, walked the earth when Jesus did.  None of us, can know for certain if his hair was always washed, neat and trimmed with a good pair of scissors.  Especially, during the 40 days and nights he spent in the wilderness, which was the theme of the painting by the Russian artist.     But, there is one thing that I am most confident in knowing.  Jesus Christ today, does not wear a red, comical superman cape, that your leaders have taken the liberty in assuming he does.  :)   They've really stretched the boundary of scripture there, haven't they!

I will say, you are stretching the boundary of scripture in all your comments.

I guess you were there to know, when Jesus went to the Temple, he was filthy, and unclean. Providing he did go after being in the wilderness for 40 days without cleaning up first. That seems deceptive and is an antithetical approach to what Jesus looked like.

If you want to depict Jesus looking like an animal just like Nebuchadnezzar looked like when he went insane, and want to convince people you know better, just to win a failing argument, you have no faith, and you are no Christian.

I suspect Jesus had more “respect” and “honor” for his father than what you are making him out to be.

The Watchtower depiction of Jesus shows him as the Son of God, the Son of Man, and a Great Teacher. What does your depiction show, an erred perception of long hair, just like Christendom.

What is very significant is size of letters in this quote. I suggest, if i may, that letters in by you and your kind.   need to be even smaller, smaller and smaller and to be finally invisible. Speaking about "your kind" telling also to what kind you belong! :)))

Amazing! With this you tell us how scripture /verses/ are in "boundaries" because interpretations made by human aka WT Society making spiritual boundaries inside all is explainable and in harmony with "every New Light" that coming from WT Society Spiritual Well. 

Spirit that is behind scripture/verses, is not tied with WT Society "boundaries".

Well, how would look like WT artistic picture about this: who and how clean His buttock after He had big toilet need as baby and in more few years in His childhood? And after, He has doing that by himself.

Do we need those pictures too?

Since you are an uneducated individual, I will refer you to TTH and JWinsider on why the fonts end up the way they do. It’s their code on this forum. It’s their attempt to hack certain people to find whatever they are looking for. Don't subject yourself to childish posts.

I would suspect this question to be for witness. That person goes out on every subject to see what will stick. Jesus's appearance that should be portrayed in the best light for Christians, has been a failure to argue, just to find another thing to criticize the Org for and backfire for non-Christians.

Since you are the same, then both of you are failing by arguing nonsense.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
