I didn't realize it was possible to disfellowship and yet not shun; WT conflated the two notions such that I believed they were one.

Another thing I didn't quite grasp until I read a JWD post (long ago) is that Bible and Scripture are not the same thing. Conflation again; WT would have people belive they mean the same.

Does anyone have other examples of conflation? If it took me this long to realize just a few I could use some help to get things straight!

TIA,

It`s more than conflation with the WBT$..
They just flat out make things up/LIE..

More times than not they`ll abandon one idea for another..
Then say they have a better understanding of the belief they just abandoned..
You`ll drive yourself crazy trying to make sense of anything the WBT$ teaches..
The best thing you can do is research things your interested in,for yourself..

In answer to your Question..
The WBT$ GB = The FDS.....The Anointed are out of a Job..
The WBT$ GB = Mediator between God and man.....Jesus is out of a Job..
The lines have been purposely blurred..

I think pretty much ALL religions would have people believe this, dear AnneB (peace to you, luv, and hope all is well with you and your household!). Both "christian" and non-christian... that "the Holy Bible" is "the Scriptures." "Christians" go one step further, though, and consider/call/teach the Bible is "the word of God." Another conflation, perhaps?

As for the WT, how about:

- "The Resurrection" as if there is only one versus "the FIRST resurrection" and "the SECOND resurrection"...

- "Armageddon" being the culmination of the GT and beginning of the "1,000 years" versus some time after the 1,000 years have ended

- "The Judgment" being "Armageddon", versus occurring AFTER the conclusion of the event [at] "Har-Mageddon"


Thanks for a great topic and again, peace to you!
