NOTE: I do not subscribe to any religion. I once believed in Masoretic Text translations until I dug deeper and came to a different conclusion during my search through Christian denominational teachings, their leaders, and the roots of how they started, while reading the Bible itself verse by verse a few times (many translations) or more to match up their beliefs to the spiritual book they claim to follow and believe in themselves. If you ask me what I believe, I would say what the scholarly census has agreed upon, even if the decision board doesn't agree with them because they're worried about the faith of humanity for what they were taught to believe despite it contradicting evidence. Anything I've studied, watched, read is added here to help you see how I got to this point to help others who are curious too.
These verses are from the JW.org NWT bible translation, underneath I found the Hebrew/Greek from BibleHub's Strong to check it. However, you can use their purple book, their own Greek interlinear, which makes this super easy because their translation is right next to the Greek or their online one. Underneath that in blue highlight, will be my notes of my analysis.
****2Co 5:20****
Therefore, we are ambassadors substituting for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us. As substitutes for Christ, we beg: "Become reconciled to God."

Strong's 5547: Anointed One; the Messiah, the Christ. From chrio; Anointed One, i.e. The Messiah, an epithet of Jesus.
Need I explain? Yes, I probably do. This is exactly why JW adherents serve men, and their doctrine says Jesus is not the mediator for the "great crowd"/rank and file, and only to the "anointed class" of JW. This is how they get away with it (check out JW's who is your mediator post along with the others).
19 To trust any man-made substitute for God’s Kingdom makes that substitute an image, an object of worship. (Revelation 13:14, 15)
Does that include flesh? Rhetorical question.

Strong's 4771: You. The person pronoun of the second person singular; thou.
They made it match their works bias, to constantly prove that they are worthy, instead of testing if they are believing in the correct thing. And I think this is one of the reasons why I think it's crucial to not say "in union" when it comes to the spirit of Christ. He is that close to be able to trust your own discernment on who is teaching you to test the faith you are believing in, but this downplays that and works hand and hand with the JW earn your salvation or lose it by our judgement from elders not appointed by holy spirit and are imperfect themselves.
Eph 4:6

Why not say "in union with" now? Why not use it like this the whole time?

Strong's 846: He, she, it, they, them, same. From the particle au; the reflexive pronoun self, used of the third person, and of the other persons.
I don't think they like either of these verses. But neither do Trinitarians. This is also saying "made complete", as in, no more work needed by the death of Christ by us being in him by our faith and trust in him. Not by the approval of anyone underneath him that he is head over. Another reason why I can't stand "in union with" but yeah... what's that?

I think it's important here to use "since" especially how it's used in other places.

I think any denomination that tries and downplay this verse, is doing so for their own benefit especially if they've made their own bible. He sends it.

And how often are they told not to question the people that represent and speak for God?

When it is more like, now that we have this ability to do so, because it was put on us. I could be being picky, but I don't trust this.

To be, makes it future, when Greek is "now". making them into a kingdom has made them into priest, not separate roles, making this more symbolic, and why "in the midst" that were Jesus's words, that the pharisee didn't understand make some sense. "As kings" added.... nothing to say there. Upon not used because the GB/anointed, don't want to be here and also have heaven complex to miss out on the dooms day they've created.

I don't understand why they said yes. To not use beheaded means, they can use anyone of their people who they get locked up for disobeying the law of the land who might end up getting killed through it, to be able to say, "see it happening!", like how they love their Russia action, and their nazi history to rank up persecution numbers to razzle the followers for another sign of the end. There is no mention of "kings". It doesn't say exactly, so there is no reason to speculate in scripture translation, unless you are pushing that you are special enough to be kings and have written yourselves into the bible. I'm a preterist, or at least understand this verse with time between it and symbolic, but this seems to go to why they say there isn't a second rez because people are being judged in their opinion in heaven, or wherever they hope to be as "anointed".
There are enough verses here, plainly showing they have done the no-no.
