I agree with that. Are you an active member being a JW?
(I have resigned as an elder but am still associated with one of the local congs.)
Do you understand the issue of mediatorship to mean that someone like me doesn't have Jesus as my mediator? (Coming from the understanding of being a Witness.)
(That is the WTS position but I think their argument is not supportable scripturally)
I am told that the GB understanding is that Jesus is not my mediator. Me, having never heard of this issue before is wondering if you have heard of this teaching before?
(Yes, it is the official position of the WTS. Jesus is the mediator of the new convenant, therefore the mediator of only those who are in
the new convenant, namely the 144,000.)
