IP ADDRESS! It's laughable if you think they can't be seen. 😁
Then, they think too much of themselves if they believe the WT would waste their time on false prophets, that don't TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH!!
However, glad you finally admit how they gather. A spiritual gathering is bound by a spiritual congregation, therefore, you form a place of worship which you have criticized the witnesses for many years. Now visitors can finally see the hypocrisy you bring here instead of what @TrueTomHarley describes as truth, which is a bunch of nonsense.
They don't waste their time here either with people misinterpreting scripture for their benefit, while they condemn others for having strong ties with God by remaining faithful and loyal.

Naw, he’s one of my aliases, or at least soon will be if I can work up the effort. 
“Ortho Doxsey.” Yeah, it would work.

Names have already been mentioned here, but what good is an address if those they meet with online are from all parts of the world?  Besides, Wt would make them a direct target, if they had an address.  

Have you met Bill Ding, a major player in the LDC?
I should not have said harshest, for you are one among many. “Shrillist” is the word I was looking for, the one most given to hysteria, overstatement, and over-generalization. I wonder what you would have said about Paul, who told the Corinthians to “forgive” that fellow who had been sleeping with his father’s wife. (2 Corinthians 2:7-9)
“This rebuke given by the majority is sufficient for such a man;  now you should instead kindly forgive and comfort him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sadness. I therefore exhort you to confirm your love for him.” (2 Corinthians 2:7-9)
After just a brief period of expulsion, he was to be “comforted,” “forgiven,” with “love” for him “confirmed,” having shown himself repentant and  “saddened.” You would have not accepted that, I don’t think, and likely would have had shrill words about Paul covering up sin.
If you were then as you are now, you would have withdrawn in disgust from that first-century congregation. Then, like a Kamikazi pilot upset that the target ship doesn’t erect a memorial to him, you would have cried on and on about how the real reasons for your departure were not publicized to your former spiritual family. Instead, they just accepted your resignation and moved on.
Please believe me. I do not “dislike” you because you are “truthful.”
It also doesn’t help that you condemn the Christian organization for any expectation that did not come on time, yet put complete trust in something not even hinted at in scripture—that a True Anointed will come along at the 11th hour to save the day.

Um, maybe you should know that there was a blip in the timing of comments being displayed, hence what i wrote was written before Pudgy's comment appeared. 
This is probably British humour that you Yanks do not understand. If someone does something or says something negative to a British person, we tend to say 'yeh thanks'. 
 
Harshest ????????? That is so funny.  I think it's just that I'm the one you dislike most ............... because I'm truthful. 
As for being dumb. Remember though Columbo always pretended to be dumb  ........

Genesis 1:30 - And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
NWT-(Genesis 1:29, 30) . . .. 30 And to every wild animal of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving on the earth in which there is life, I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it was so.
 
Will this do? Depending on interpretation, some bible use a more literal understanding. Now are you referring between the time God developed the Garden or after, before the flood? I believe there was a previous post about that argument.
Do you believe God made carnivores just like man's sin?

Ditto. 

Thanks for the typo. I don't have time to recheck while I write. I don't have the same time you do for properly making a post. Likewise, I write as I go in real time. So, when autocorrect makes an adjustment like "gal" to gaul, go figure, and I don't see it, then it becomes a misspelled word of "gall." I do try to come back to make corrections after I post. If you see my login scrolling, you'll see that effort. Perhaps it has to do with, being advised constantly to use the US English grammar or the British Grammar. But, you know me, I don't thrive on seeing misspelled words.

…. But notice how pleasant it has been here, today?

GB member Geoffrey Jackson recently categorized those who would be written, removed, or not written, in the “book of life”. He mentioned the word, “remembrance”, saying it was found in Malachi chapter 3, but avoided reading it.
“At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the Lord and had high regard for His name.” Mal 3:16
Perhaps we should concentrate on the context around this scripture, which will describe the state of God’s chosen priesthood today. The anointed servants of Jesus Christ have abandoned his headship, to serve an evil slave and the slave’s idol/organization. (John 15:4; 1 John 2:28; Eph 1:22,23; 1 Cor 6:15; 2 Pet 3:17) (Matt 24:48-51; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:1,2,11,12,4) 
It is true; a JW may speak of Jesus, even claim to obey him, yet disobediently choose the words of powerful men, over the words of Jesus Christ. (Prov 4:1,2; 2 Tim 4:2-4; 1 Tim 4:1; 2 Cor 11:4; Matt 15:9) 
This is the case with God’s holy priesthood, the “living stones” of His Temple dwelling in Spirit. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) As a result, their individual “sacrifices of praise” have been silenced. (Num 28:6; Heb 10:11;13:15; Dan 12:11) 
The priests have willingly let go of this obligation to God, without upholding and protecting not only God’s Temple dwelling within their hearts, but to uphold and protect the truth in Jesus Christ. (Num 3:10;2 Chron 23:6; 26:16-18; Ezek 44:16; Dan 8:11,12; Mal 2:7,8; 2 John 1:9-11;2 Tim 2:15) 
Someone else is telling them what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. (Ezek 44:8; 2 Thess 2:3,4; 1 Cor 3:16;2 Cor 11:20; Dan 7:7;Rev 13:6) 
Their role as God’s teachers has been eliminated by counterfeit elder “priests” “representing the royal priesthood”. (Mal 2:7) God’s “kings of the earth” have been overcome by the deceptive power over them. (Rev 1:5) (Rev16:13-16; 20:7-9) They are admonished to be an unobtrusive presence, and to remain scattered. (Dan 9:7; Joel 3:2; Zech 1:18-21) 
In other words, the royal priesthood has been abased by the organization. (Lam 2:17; 3:28,29; Dan 9:8; Joel 2:17; Dan 8:11; Luke 19:43,44; 1 Cor 7:23; Gal 1:10) 
The priests are tolerating men who demand obedience to an authority that has no backing in God’s word. (Deut 27:9,10; 2 Chron 13:9; Ezek 44:15,16) They must adhere to regulations beyond scripture, spoken as coming from “Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization” (Exod 32:8; Deut 12:32; Prov 30:6; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:1,2,15) 
The Pharisees were guilty of this practice, and Jesus condemned them for it. (Mark 7:9) These laws are connected to the organization’s existence, and necessary to preserve an unscriptural dominance and dual rulership, of false prophets and their elder army. (Dan 2:33,42; Rev 9:1-4; Rev 13:11,12) 
Christ’s chosen priests follow in the footsteps of spiritual Harlots, false teachers/false prophets, cowering under the leadership’s “empty philosophy”. (Jer 2:17; 9:9; 5:31; 1 Cor 6:15-17,19; Gal 1:10; Col 2:8; Rev 13:10) This was predicted to occur in the last days – Christ’s “kings of the earth” became captive to “demonic expressions”. (Rev 1:5; 16:13-16; 17:1,2) 
The governing leaders’ consistent failures of understanding and applying God’s word correctly, must be excused and disregarded by all; not questioned, to preserve their unrighteous authority. (Luke 22:24-27; Matt 24:48-51) Since when has it been accepted by God to tell continuous falsehoods, and it not be considered a repetitive evil, committed by God's people? (Deut 18:20-22; Jer 23:16; Matt 7:15-20) 
The book of Malachi explains it this way –
You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you ask, “How have we wearied him?” When you say, “Everyone who does what is evil is good in the Lord’s sight, and he is delighted with them, or else where is the God of justice?” (Mal 2:17)
Also recently, a governing leader stated that Russia appears to be the present “king of the north” spoken of in Dan 11:41, that “enters the land of the decoration”. He implied that this means Russia would interfere in a significant way with “the activities of God’s people”, meaning all JWs. The statement was made concerning the organization’s ban in Russia, but with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, they have intensely promoted Russia as “king of the north”. The “land of the decoration” is also referred to in other Bible translations as the “beautiful land”, the “glorious”, “promised”, “pleasant land”; all referring to the early nation of Israel, and now to God’s “Israel”, His “inhabited homeland”. (1 Cor 3:9,16; John 14:23; Eph 2:22) 
Their “king of the north” teaching clashes with their doctrine that the anointed are the locust-scorpions of Revelation 9, who bring their “stinging message” to the world. No matter how one perceives it, locusts devour land. In the book of Joel, the “northern” locust army ,destroys God’s “beautiful land”. (Joel 1:6;2:3) God allowed this to happen because of their rejection of His commandments. This has a spiritual significance for our day, and ties in with the activity of the locust-scorpions of Rev. 9. (Joel 1:13;2:12,13; Dan 9:10,11; Mal 3:8,9; Rev 9:3,5) 
So yes, there is a conundrum that exists with their two doctrines.
#1 - We've got one worldly entity apparently interfering with JW activity, as well as devouring a literal land - the Ukraine. There are approximately 129,000 JWs in Ukraine. Considering that there are supposedly 8 million worldwide, has this “king of the north” impacted JWs “in a significant way”? Only 1.6 percent of JWs have been affected by Russia’s invasion. However, the prophesy of the king of the north accurately comes against the holy priesthood, not all JWs, which reduces the percentage tremendously. If the number of partakers at last’s year’s Memorial indicates the number of anointed worldwide inside the organization, only about .26 percent of JWs are anointed, with the rough chance that there may be a handful found in the country of Ukraine, as well as Russia.
What a weak show of force by Wt’s “king of the north” against Daniel’s holy people, the saints, in the last days! (Dan 10:14; 7:21,25) How will Russia find what is left of the 20,746 anointed scattered and unidentifiable, within the entire JW rank? (Lam 4:1; Luke 19:41-44) 
#2 - We also have the anointed priesthood appearing as foreboding locust-scorpions - not as a “beautiful land”, or a “land of decoration” - but "devouring" the world where they preach with their scorpion-like stinging message, and causing apparent fear and anxiety on their listeners. (Joel 2:6,7; Rev 9:5-6) How successful have they been at devouring and stinging these last two years? Has their message ever reached every country in the world? As the organization trumps up their king of the north in flaming red on their website, their doctrines are deflating, in the presence of truth. 
So, what is the truth?  The truth is that the locust-scorpions’ target, is the same target as the king of the north; God’s anointed priests/”kings of the earth”. (Rev 1:5; 5:9,10) 
These “kings” are the people whose activities have been removed, the “daily sacrifices” of praise to be offered to God. (Num 28:3; Dan 8:11,12; 1 Pet 2:5; Heb 13:15) These anointed priests are those who have been “devoured” by the leadership in the organization. (Jer 2:3) They must bow down to the governing leaders and their army, “man of lawlessness”, that “sits” in the Temple of God, ruling over the “living stones”, who are God’s “own possession” – His promised land. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) 
The elder “forces” have boldly "entered" God's "beautiful land" and dwelling/sanctuary of His Spirit. Russian leaders cannot remove daily sacrifices from a priesthood they know nothing about. (1 Cor 3:9; Ezek 44:6-9; Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2) 
“King of the north” – “And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.” Dan 11:31
“Man of lawlessness” - “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Mark 13:14
JWs are taught that various entities are destined to come against them before Armageddon is finished; Gog of Magog, the Wild Beast from the Sea, Russia as the king of the north (but they change this at a whim). Incredibly, the “man of lawlessness” has no role against JWs in their playbook, and yet this identity ties all the above, together. These illustrative symbolic meanings for the same event in the last days, are deliberately blamed on the world of politics, by Harlots/false prophets who have left their covenant with God. They have purposefully confused JWs, when all these titles solely point to the organization and its dual leadership. God’s promised land has been deceived by Satan’s masterwork, to wipe out the “remaining ones of the woman’s seed”. ( Rev 12:12,17; Ezek 21:21,22; Rev 20:7,8) 
Through this deceit, they have fallen into sin and idolatry, as foretold in the scriptures. (Matt 24:24,25; 1 Tim 4:1; Jer 2:4,5; Rev 13:4). And because of this transgression, God’s Temple has been desolated, defiled by the elder body “man of lawlessness” who “represent the royal priesthood”. (2 Thess 2:3,4) 
By perceiving this change of command, it should be clear how the “daily sacrifices” of God’s chosen priesthood have been eliminated by those who claim to represent them!
“Rather than challenge their authority, we truly appreciate our hardworking elders!” Wt 02/8/1 p. 13,14
Back to the book of Malachi. God rebukes the priesthood for neglecting their priestly duties. (Mal 1:6,7,10; 3:8) It speaks of a messenger coming as “Elijah”, sent by God to His priests in the last days. (Mal 3:1-3; 4:4-6; Matt 17:11; Rev 11:1-3) 
This messenger reveals the spiritual corruptive influence among God’s priests, and stresses the need for their repentance. (Mal 3:7-9) But, do they all listen? Are they all written in the “book of remembrance” that the governing leader spoke of? (Mal 1:4) As much as we desire it, can you imagine every anointed one and all JWs, rejecting the idol and its falsehoods? (Zech 2:6-9,11; Rev 18:4-8; 14:6-12) 
Read Mal 2:1,2; Dan 9:11 -  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mal+2%3A1%2C2%3B+Dan+9%3A11+&version=CSB
Under the spell of demonic expressions of the soothing promise of peace and security, God’s priests have allowed the arrogant evil slave and the man of lawlessness, to overcome them by their flood of lies. They are “drunk” on the Harlot’s wine. (Jer 6:13-15; 1 Thess 5:3; Luke 17:26,27; Rev 12:15; 17:1-5) 
Read Mal 3:14,15 -  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mal+3%3A14%2C15&version=CSB
It is incredible that G. Jackson even dare mention Malachi chapter 3, since it describes perfectly, what the Harlot is up to –
Mal 3:5 - “I will come to judge you. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers, lying witnesses, and those who cheat workers out of their wages and oppress widows and orphans. I will also testify against those who deprive foreigners of their rights. None of them fear me,” says the Lord of Armies.
God pleads with His people to resume their spiritual offerings that have been cut off, and to repent, acknowledge, and follow His decrees in Jesus Christ. He promises to pour out His mercy upon them, leading them to the spiritual bounty of truth in His Son:
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty. Mal 3:11,12
John 15:1-8,16
Yet, only those who “fear the Lord” respond to the messenger’s call whom He sends. (Zech 1:4-6; Dan 9:17,18; Mal 3:16) 
That book of remembrance is the same one, as the Lamb's book of life. That book contains the names of those who through integrity and courage, have earned God's favor and spiritual protection (Rev 3:5; Phil 4:3; Isa 4:3; Rev 20:12)
That book belongs to the Lamb (Rev 13:8; 21:27), because these are those to whom his blood will apply...(John 1:29; 1 Pet 1:19; Rev 12:11; 7:14; 1 Cor 5:7)   Pearl Doxsey
“They will be mine,” says the Lord of Armies, “my own possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.
18 So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.” Mal 3:17,18

The Great Tribulation - What and Why?
 

Every institution has weak members. They're some institution that don't mind those weak members, but did Jesus and the apostles? Some Christian churches now encourage homosexuality. There's a reason why a Church should keep their churches spiritually clean, it's called staying away from bad influence. Therefore, you have proven nothing.
You got that backwards. You left the institution because of, false pretenses. If you look at the statistics, you'll find the majority of disfellowshipped members are due to being immoral and dishonest. You don't seem to get the concept of free will and choices. Is the Watchtower influencing or forcing people to have immoral behavior as you falsely accuse it, NO! That's just your obtuse observation. You are proof of the that dishonesty. Did your congregation disfellowship you in absentia? Most likely. Do you care, no! Does it matter if you care, no!
The day you want to relearn scripture, reach out and touch someone with bible knowledge.

NIV 1 Cor 5:9-11
9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. 
You and witness posses one of these qualities.
 Why should any JW want to associate with you?
One day, you will convince a 6-year on this.

sigh - some people are more than hard necked. I just leave it here.  He acts like a God out of the Hindu pantheon.  Those ones with the frightening faces that do terrible things to human beings.

How can I have a scheduled surgery and somehow find out I didn't survive it? Ponders the mind! But, I guess after my resurrection on April 5, I will make one final post. 

Glad you are not a party to his threat. However, now I have to prayerfully weigh in my options.

You are a much better person than I.

The random thought occurred to me when Dmitar said he was going to leave the Archive on April 2, perhaps he had surgery scheduled  and did not expect to survive it.
 
Merely a passing thought, no more, my trying to understand why he is so vehemently denigrating to others.

Dmitar spends so much time and effort here, I highly doubt he has anything else going on in his life. This is probably his “last hurrah!”, of a person absolutely terrified of dying alone and unremembered.…. just a guess. 

Peter is NOT the rock or head of the church/ congregation. So I will kindly correct you.  Jesus was referring to himself when he said those words.... . Yes, Peter was like a rock when he stood up in the assembly when the Holy Spirit anointed them (Acts 2) and spoke about  how Jehovah had prophesied about the gifts of the Spirit. Peter acted like a rock when he also referred to the other promises of jehovah on this day of pentecost.   Peter did not even become the spokes-person of the Governing body - James was.
This is a Catholic teaching that Peter is the rock of the church. As far as I know Peter was sent out to the Jews (not gentiles) and Paul was sent out to the gentiles. Peter wrote his 2 letters in the diaspora of Babylon.

Maybe you did not use the right words or you had it wrong. He is not God. ...... to give you such a severe judgment and treat you as if you intentionally mislead people is wrong. We are all learners here and we do not know everything and we have not all thought things  through.
I have had experience in writing so I try to express myself well but I have become a bit careless.   (English is not my first language and my eyes are bad.... and for that matter I forget names - and he is not thoughtful of any of these failings.... in fact he reminds me of another very nasty ex-witness we had on here before. )
  He  has been wrong on many occasions (even if he does not think so)... and I have never seen him apologise so humbly as you did.  Any kind  correction of his "mistakes" allows him to call us all kinds of names and revile us.  This blog does not belong to him and I say again: he is not God although he acts and talks  like one.
