   Friend james tried to pull a fast one on us.  He said the only scripture   
   thatt speaks of the physical return of Christ is this and it must be   
   discounted because the book containing it is full of symbols:   
      
   >>>>Revelation 1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will   
   >>>>see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth   
   >>>>will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.   
      
   Not so fast we say, the account of His ascention at Acts 1:6-11 has Him   
   physically rising into the clouds.  Two angels present said not to dispir   
   because He would return in the same manner He hadd departed,ie. He would   
   physically return from the clouds.   
      
   So much for the jw vatican fairy tale.  Why did they concoct it?  Because   
   they had concocted other places in their ever changing invented "theory of   
   scripture" that required He be invisible.  So they had to scramble to "fix"   
   scripture to not refute the new doctrines.
