trofimus;3310199]There is no "it".
There IS in the translation you quoted from. The KJV
There are many spirits, not just God.
True- Him, Christ, Angel and Demon; but WHICH did He put upon Moses and the 70?
I do not understand this question.
There ARE millions of Christians; both real and phony. Does your 'Holy Ghost' POSSESSES them as it did Jesus at his baptism?
No problem, I am not here all the time, so it sometimes takes a while.
Same here. No Prob.

I do not see any "it" in the text:
καὶ καταβήσομαι καὶ λαλήσω ἐκεῖ μετὰ σοῦ καὶ ἀφελῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἐπὶ σοὶ καὶ ἐπιθήσω ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ συναντιλήψονται μετὰ σοῦ τὴν ὁρμὴν τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ οὐκ οἴσεις αὐτοὺς σὺ μόνος.
And I will go down, and speak there with you; and I will take of the spirit that is upon you, and will put upon them; and they shall bear together with you the burden of the people, and you shall not bear them alone."

Also, you must realize that grammar rules are not theology.
For example, in Hebrew, the word "spirit" is feminine. In Czech (my native language) its masculine. In Greek, its neuter.
So when we talk about something, we must use some grammar rules. But it does not mean that the Holy Spirit is a man, a woman or a thing.

Jesus is God, but this Charles Taze Russellism character may be considered a 'god' in that particular cult. As long as the JW members don't consider this person to be 'God' they're probably basically harmless albeit delusional and misguided. If I were still a Catholic I would say a few Hail Mary's to save their souls from purgatory and light a candle for them. In extreme cases in may be necessary to put some extra cash in the collection basket as well. Not my cash, mind you.
