You might well ask that question, “Do we need a Messiah?” Yes, it would be logical to wonder whether a Messiah would have any real effect on you.

Some whose opinion you may respect would assure you that the answer is clear and unequivocal: You definitely do need a Messiah, just as much as everyone else does.

Today Christ is a Mighty King He rules over his dad's Kingdom

We cannot even imagine how wonderful our lives will be under Kingdom rule. It is important, then, that we continue to take in Bible knowledge and become better acquainted with Jesus Christ.

Meditate on this image of the LORD about to become our Messiah and go back to his dad's mansion. Then he married the Watchtower Society.

What's with the gay porn pictures? They seem out of context with the rest of the post.

I do agree that I need a Messiah as much as everyone else does - in other words, not at all.

I think it's meant to be a bit of a joke judging by Quintas' profile and the quip about marrying the Watchtower Society.

Um....what?

It sounds like an infomercial.

"Everyone needs a messiah. But wait! There's more! When you order a messiah, we will throw in everlasting life at no extra charge. That's right! Everlasting life! Order today, and you get not 1, not 2, but 3! 3 gods in 1, plus everlasting life! Order now!"

I demand more than one Messiahs.

A selection to choose from, in fact, in a variety of colours and finishes and with a wide range of available accessories.

Jammy bastards in olden days used to have a bunch of deities to choose from, not the vegan menu of higher beings we are faced with today.

Who is going to clean up after that pale horse?

WHY do you enjoy walking in a park or strolling through a field of sweet-smelling flowers? Why is it that your spirits soar when you see a beautiful lake or towering mountains with their peaks in the clouds? Why do you stop to listen as birds sing their cheery songs in the treetops? And why is it so pleasant to watch a graceful deer bounding along or a flock of sheep grazing in a meadow?

There is one answer to all these questions. We were made to live in Paradise! That is where our first parents, Adam and Eve, began their life. We got our desire to live in Paradise from them, and they got it from their Creator, Jehovah God. He knew that we humans would be happy in Paradise because he created us with the qualities needed to enjoy such a wonderful earthly home.

WHEN Adam and Eve were still in Paradise, they received this God-given mandate: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”—Genesis 1:28.

Subduing the earth meant more than cultivating or caring for only a small part of it. Adam and Eve and their offspring were to extend Paradise until it covered the whole globe. However, the first human couple sinned and were driven out of the garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:23, 24) But that did not mean that the earth would never be subdued

Soon God will resurrect the dead who were obedient to him and they will live in Paradise with the other faithful witnesses of Jehovah. Will YOU be one of them?

In paradise, the Old will be made young again, and there will be no more badness.

"Messiah, in 'field of sweet-smelling flowers" scent, will improve your vision, restore your hearing and return you to a more youthful you! Messiah will even make those old, rotting corpses just like new again! Guaranteed to eliminate badness, and make your spirits soar! And if you call right now, we will throw in an eternity in paradise! Don't wait! Call now!"

If there is no more badness what's the use of being young again?
Or did you mean no more baldness?
