seriously texas... how old are you? This seems like a childish obsession of yours. You just keep cutting and pasting and spewing out really tired accusations and half truths. Miriam and I have asked you some tough questions, and because you can't honestly answer them, your response is to keep throwing punches in the air.
You obviously don't like JW's... and that's OK!!!
Go ahead... have the last word, you won't quite until you do
One of the the many problems the JW's have is that they think they are the only ones going to Heaven and that's not true.
The premier Greek Scholar of the 20th Century, Julius Mantey, says that the JW's are wrong about John 1:1.

anyone honestly looking for truth will at times adjust the way they see things.
if you were someone seeking truth as opposed to pushing your dogmatic viewpoint, then you would realize that this is not flip flopping. its making sure they get it right

If someone has to adjust the way they see things, it appears there was a probelm from the get-go. With Jesus we don't adjust to anything, we know things for a fact because he is the Messiah/Christ, that teaches us through the Holy Spirit, these very simplistic things.
When he spoke the words "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock" is a personal invite for you alone, to put away your preconceived notions of what you think you know and allow him to take up residence within you. Because it really is all about perception, when dealing with things of a spiritual nature and how we apply our senses; seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling.
after your fleshly body dies and decays, your spirit will go on. And the truth will set you free.

jesus was the son of god. of course he didnt need to adjust anything.
but his apostles did. many times through-out the scriptures they had to reason from the scriptures to discern what direction they had to take. sometimes, the holy spirit would make it obvious, but sometimes it wouldnt
christians cannot expect the holy spirit to just "pop" things into their heads. the bible was written to be read and referenced.

exactly, use your senses to determine the truth. the truth is more than a "feeling"
after your fleshly body dies and decays, your spirit will go on. And the truth will set you free.
did the holy spirit share that with you? because it disagrees with god's word.
You quote John 17:26 where Jesus says, "And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:. . ." The Greek word for "will declare" is gnwrisw. It only occures this once in the New Testament. It shows up twice in the Greek Old Testament:
Even though he knew he was returning back to God, his function as teacher remains through the Holy Spirit. It's more like the Holy Spirit is this fantastic mechanism (for lack of a better word) that enables the Messiah to work in us and bring us into all truths. The Messiah from God is the Son of God. The Messiah that resurrects in us is known as the Son of Man.
It is somewhat interesting that the only place in the New Testament where this exact spelling of this "to show" word is in the Septuagint where Samuel is talking to Saul about him showing him something. Saul ran across these prophets and began prophesying among them. Some of the people who witnessed it said, "But who is their father?"
Samuel, Daniel and Jesus all were anointed and all had the gift of prophecy. We learn in Revelations that Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.
