Hello "Gabriel",
I usually just lurk here from time to time but your post caught my eye. By it I gather you have never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Is this correct?
Christian love to you,
Cecilia
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
I asked the question because there seems to be contradictions in regard to business arrangements.
It would be good if everyone lurking would take some time to post.
thanks

PS I don't understand the Gabriel part of your post.
Hello again,
I believe the information you're seeking could be easily found in the Society's CD or the Watchtower Index volumes.
As for the "Gabriel part" here is a quote from the Society's Reference Bible, 1984 edition, Daniel 8:16 footnote for the name "Gabriel":
"Meaning 'an Able-Bodied One of God.' Heb., Gavriel, a combination of gever, 'an able-bodied man,' and El, 'God.'"
Verse 15 of Daniel 8: "Then it came about that, while I myself, Daniel, was seeing the vision and seeking an understanding, why, look! there was standing in front of me someone in appearance like an able-bodied man."
Christian love to you,
Cecilia
