    “Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth+ and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence.”
    And you feel this is through the “preaching work”?   Of God’s Kingdom based on 1914?
    “The spirit or breath of Christ’s mouth is given to his faithful anointed ones, whom he uses to expose the man of lawlessness.”  John 20:22; Rev 11:1-4; Matt 24:31
    But remember, the GB is not inspired by their own admission; which means they have no  Holy Spirit. 2 Pet 3:17  What is interesting though, is they attribute God’s spirit to be with the organization. Rev 13:15  Since God’s true witnesses of Isa 43:10 are the anointed ones (1 Pet 2:5,9; Rev 17:14), it must be other anointed ones he is using to expose the man of lawlessness – those who are fully aware of the power of Holy Spirit within them.
    You said, Could "Gog"-meaning have anything to do with -for instance- "the syna-GOGUE of Satan?"
    Excellent point; The false prophet/two-horned beast authorizes an “image” of the wild beast to be made and revered. Rev 13:4 This image is imbued with “life”, from Satan’s “breath”.  Rev 13:14,15  It is the synagogue of Satan, where both Beasts (Gog and Magog) have authority and power over…
     ….God’s dwelling… Col 1:19; 2:9; John 14:23; 1 Cor 3:16; 6:19
    … which is his Temple…1 Cor 3:16; 6:19
    … which is comprised of the anointed ones. Isa 43:10; 1 Pet 2:5,9; Eph 2:20-22
    In this synagogue, is the man of lawlessness; who is also the Wild Beast from the sea – a sea of “Gentiles” – nations, non Jews. 
    Both 2 Thess 2 and Rev 13 tell us about the man of lawlessness.   
    “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”  2 Thess 2:4
    “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle (God’s dwelling), and those who dwell in heaven.”  Rev 13:6
    ” Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”  Rev 13:18
     God’s presence is within the Temple, the hearts of the anointed ones. Rom 8:9,11; 2 Cor 3:3;  These “living stones” have been cast aside in the organization and “hewn stones” have taken their place – a man made priesthood.  (Isa 9:10)
    An elder body “sits” as God, by replacing the Temple “stones”, and “stands” over the “royal priesthood” through the GB’s admonition that God’s appointed priesthood must obey the elders, who are not “spiritually” circumcised. Ezek 44:9
    This is the man of lawlessness, the disgusting thing/abomination standing in the holy place, and the last power of Daniel’s image, fourth beast, over the anointed ones. Dan 11:31; Matt 24:15  You won’t find God’s Temple anywhere else to fulfill this prophesy.    
    When the anointed spiritual “Jews”(Rom 2:29) awake to the state they are in and realize they serve men and not Christ, they voice truth and are disfellowshipped.  Rev 11:7; 16:2; 6:9  Through them, the man of lawlessness is revealed, through the spirit of the mouth of Christ. Rev 11:4 They “overcome” Satan’s great delusion of 2 Thess 2:9-11, that God allows his heritage people to be subjected, teaching them refinement and purification of all sin and idolatry – to become acceptable as the remnant and last “living stones” of the Temple to be sealed in the heavens. Mal 3:2; Rev 3:18; Zech 4:7
    “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”  Rev 2:9
     “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.”  Rev 3:8-12
    @James Thomas Rook Jr. and @Otto , knowing who Gog and Magog are does matter to each and every one of us.  Otherwise, a few more scriptures become irrelevant in the minds of JWs.
    “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  2 Tim 3:16,17
      “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”  Mark 13:14
     “But when you see Jerusalem (New Jerusalem/Temple) surrounded by armies,(“Gentiles”) then know that its desolation is near.  Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.  For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”  Luke 21:20-22
    What are the mountains that Jesus is commanding we flee to? 
    Matt.5:14,16; Zech.6:1; Zech.4:14; Rev.11:4,3; (Rev.12:6; John14:3; Heb.13:13; Matt.25:6); 
    Psalm72:3; 3:4; 2Chron.13:10,11,12; Joel3:18; Zech.14:8; Isa.65:9; Jer.50:19,20; Zech.3:9; Luke23:30; Eze.36:8
    Rev 18:4,5 – “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, (the anointed and their brethren are not in Christendom) lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.  For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”
    And one last scripture that JWs are well aware of, and what faithful anointed priests should be teaching the sheep (Mal 2:7)
     “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.  Matt 18:20

    *** w15 5/15 p. 29-p. 30 Questions From Readers ***
    Who is Gog of Magog mentioned in the book of Ezekiel?
    ▪ For a number of years, our publications have explained that Gog of Magog is the name given to Satan the Devil after his ouster from heaven. This explanation was based on the fact that the book of Revelation identifies Satan the Devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on God’s people. (Rev. 12:1-17) So it was thought that Gog must be another prophetic name for Satan.
    However, that explanation raised some important questions. Why so? Consider this: When referring to the time that Gog is defeated, Jehovah says regarding Gog: “I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and the wild beasts of the field.” (Ezek. 39:4) Then Jehovah adds: “On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel . . . That is where they will bury Gog and all his hordes.” (Ezek. 39:11) But how could a spirit creature be eaten by “birds of prey and the wild beasts of the field”? How could Satan be given “a burial place” on earth? The Bible clearly shows that Satan will be abyssed for 1,000 years, not eaten or buried.—Rev. 20:1, 2.
    We are told that at the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be released from the abyss, and “he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war.” (Rev. 20:8) But how can Satan mislead Gog if he himself is Gog? Therefore, “Gog” does not refer to Satan in either Ezekiel’s prophecy or the book of Revelation.
    Who, then, is Gog of Magog? To answer that question, we need to search the Scriptures to find out who attacks God’s people. The Bible speaks not only of the attack by ‘Gog of Magog’ but also of the attack by “the king of the north” and of the attack by “the kings of the earth.” (Ezek. 38:2, 10-13; Dan. 11:40, 44, 45; Rev. 17:14; 19:19) Do these represent separate attacks? Not likely. The Bible is no doubt referring to the same attack under different names. Why can we draw that conclusion? Because the Scriptures tell us that all the nations of the earth will be involved in this final attack that prompts the war of Armageddon.—Rev. 16:14, 16.
    When we compare all these Scriptural references about the final attack on God’s people, it becomes evident that the name Gog of Magog refers, not to Satan, but to a coalition of nations. Will this coalition be led by the figurative “king of the north”? We cannot say with any certainty. But this thought does seem to be in harmony with what Jehovah says about Gog: “You will come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a vast army.”—Ezek. 38:6, 15.
    Similarly, the prophet Daniel, who was a contemporary of Ezekiel, says of the king of the north: “Reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.” (Dan. 11:44, 45) This clearly parallels what the book of Ezekiel says about Gog’s activities.—Ezek. 38:8-12, 16.
    What occurs next as a result of this final attack? Daniel tells us: “During that time Michael [Jesus Christ] will stand up [at Armageddon], the great prince who is standing [since 1914] in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress [the great tribulation] such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.” (Dan. 12:1) This action on the part of God’s representative Jesus is also described at Revelation 19:11-21.
    But who is referred to as “Gog and Magog” at Revelation 20:8? During the final test at the end of the 1,000 years, those who rebel against Jehovah will manifest the same murderous attitude as ‘Gog of Magog,’ those nations that attack God’s people at the end of the great tribulation. And the outcome for both groups will be exactly the same—everlasting death! (Rev. 19:20, 21; 20:9) It seems fitting, then, that all those rebels at the end of the Millennium be called “Gog and Magog.”
    As keen students of God’s Word, we wait with eager anticipation to see who in the near future will assume the role of “the king of the north.” But no matter who may take the lead in this coalition of nations, we are certain of two things: (1) Gog of Magog and his armies will be defeated and destroyed; and (2) our reigning King, Jesus Christ, will save God’s people and usher them into a new world of peace and true security.—Rev. 7:14-17.

    I remember when this slaughter took place. Those young males made the choice to murder, not Jehovah God. He will resurrect Brenda, Dennis, and Eric Freeman back to life on earth, when living will become an "exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." (Psalm 37:10, 11)

And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea."

For here I am creating Jerusalem a cause for joyfulness and her people a cause for exultation. 19 And I will be joyful in Jerusalem and exult in my people; and no more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or the sound of a plaintive cry.” 20 “No more will there come to be a suckling a few days old from that place, neither an old man that does not fulfill his days; for one will die as a mere boy, although a hundred years of age; and as for the sinner, although a hundred years of age he will have evil called down upon him. 21 And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage. 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. 23 They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance; because they are the offspring made up of the blessed ones of Jehovah, and their descendants with them. 24 And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I myself shall hear. 25 “The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust.

    News Hurricane Irma
    Since last Sunday, all the committees responsible for the areas where the hurricane happened, advised the congregations not to wait at the last hour to be prepared.
    ??They tell us from Florida:
    It's crazy here in fl, so many cars on the street getting ready for the storm. We went to the supermarket yesterday and was flooded because they were almost out of water, managers saying that they would have to ask for an emergency supply at that rate. The Soup, crackers and good preserves were backed up, everyone having the same idea, not perishable! Long lines even though gas prices Rose 40 cents in our area, but now they're completely out of gas. My family and I have made plans to evacuate the north, but we have removed our emergency packs only in case the traffic is backed up, with first aid kits, extra food, clothing changes, multiple tools like flashlights, etc.
    The reaction to the storm has been to open your eyes. My family and I are not concerned about the damage to home that come as our lives are much more important than that, but for some people it's all they have. Material things are their God, so they're falling behind to keep their "priceless" THINGS FROM THE STORM AND LOOTERS. Some are simply not taking the warnings seriously, (sounds familiar? ), thinking that they are hard enough to ride a category 5. Hurricane makes me think of their priorities.
    I will keep you updated in the future, the storm must get to Florida on Saturday.
