What do you think Armageddon means to JWs? It means the destruction of the "world" as they know it. Analyze the first paragraph, with eyes open.

You can live it, breathe it, sweat over it, anticipate it, sell your house, land, belongings - and be complimented for the trust and faith you put toward the leadership of men and the direction of “Jehovah’s organization” – you can be a child of parents who received the praise for their faithfulness, and suffered the consequences later as they scraped to provide for their family - but that testimony means nothing to SM. Not until a JW leaves and expresses that 1975 was another false prediction made by the Wt, does SM then take note. That person becomes the liar, according to him, because Wt never said specifically, these words: ARMAGEDDON WILL ARRIVE IN THE FALL OF 1975. The leaders manipulated the time period and the date. They built up the hype in every way possible without targeting themselves (the upper echelon leaders) as the instigators. They condemned those who later left, because of the failure. Manipulation is a serious sin according to God. (2 Cor 11:13-15) It is called “lying signs and wonders”. (Matt 24:24; 2 Thess 2:9) It is blatant deceit; so to call the person a liar who can plainly see through the manipulation, tells me that the accuser who excuses the manipulation, and instead focuses on the person who knows more about living through it, or living under the umbrella of lying signs and wonders...shows that the accuser, could also be a manipulator. Can a wolf, cry wolf? Of course! They howl as a form of communication.

Aren't JWs told to look to the leadership comprised of men, for guidance? Haven't they told JWs they must trust them because God does? Who are you fooling but yourself? It is a wise person that gets off a crooked path. Prov 2:11-15 It is a wise person who can see how such a leadership has ridiculed the word of God. (Eccl 1:15; James 1:17) The same men continued to lead JWs down a crooked road, after 1975. If the wicked system of this world survived until the turn of the century (the year 2000), which is highly improbable in view of world trends and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, there would still be survivors of the World War I generation. However, the fact that their number is dwindling is one more indication that "the conclusion of the system of things" is moving fast toward its end. (The Watchtower, Oct. 15, 1980, p. 31) Those JWs who picked themselves up after the 1975 debacle, straightened their shoulders and prepared again for the of the world to come to an end, by the year 2000. This is oppression to lies; it is an emotionally draining captivity to false expectations. Do you really think Jesus meant that this is how he would feed his sheep, when he said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"? Matt 11:28 The Wt. continually creates situations that call for a spiritual adrenaline output, which runs people into the ground. Any who realize this, have every right to reject what the leaders tell them - not in secret as JWs do here, but by standing up against lies, as Jesus Christ and the apostles did. Since when did that change? When did it become a rule that a person cannot speak out against false teachings? It became a rule when the Wt. was born. That type of "restorationism" is false doctrine, being "restored". Matt 15:9 Adrenaline - "The secretion of adrenaline is a part of the human “fight or flight” response, the acute stress response to fear, perceived threat, or panic." "...over time, persistent surges of adrenaline can damage your blood vessels, and elevate your risk of heart attacks or stroke. It can also result in anxiety, weight gain, headaches, and insomnia." Isa 59:8 - They have not known the path of peace, and there is no justice in their ways. They have made their roads crooked; no one who walks on them will know peace.

No, not the leadership, but I'm sure many were disfellowshipped after its failure, for speaking out against the leadership's folly, as well as their organization. They had "had it up to here", severing all devotion to Wt's "empty philosophy" (Col 2:8); yet received the lowest demotion possible, for rejecting delusions. Jer 23:16 Funny thing isn't it, those who leave become the bad guy; while the instigators, the planners of the deceptive boondoggle, remain the good guys. So, in other words, the leadership was practicing deception; a crime against God's decrees. (Lev 19:11,12; Prov 19:9 "Whenever a sentence for a crime is not carried out swiftly, the human mind becomes determined to commit evil." Eccl 8:11 God knows the end from the beginning. (Isa 46:10;Rev 22:14,15) "A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear." 2 Tim 4:3 Ahhh, so is this the scripture Fred Franz thought of, which enabled him to put the guilt on the rank and file? "'Do you know why nothing happened in 1975? Then, pointing at his audience, he shouted: 'It was because you expected something to happen'" (Apocalypse Delayed, Penton, 1986, p. 100)

Why would Gog of Magog come against "Jehovah" when in the Bible he SENDS the army onto his people? “King of the North” of Daniel 11:31 Gog comes with his army from the “North”. Ezek 38:14,15 The locust swarm that attacks God’s people, come from the “North” Joel 2:20 They are the same entity, described in different ways, that attack God’s people because they have sinned against Him. Undoubtedly the leadership would rather hide that fact from JWs. There are so good at cherry-picking scriptures and because of full trust that they expect from JWs, they get away with it. Therefore prophesy, son of man, and you must say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will you not realize (“rouse yourself”) on that day when my people Israel are dwelling in safety, “confidence/trust”, 15 and so you will come from your place, from the remote areas of the north, you and many people with you, horsemen all of them, a great crowd and a vast army, 16 and you will advance against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land; it will be in the last days, and I will bring you against my land, so that the nations know me, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog!”’ God, sends “Gog of/and Magog” against Israel for a reason: “And the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day and beyond, 23 and the nations will know that because of their guilt the house of Israel went into exile, because they acted unfaithfully against me, and I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their foes, and they fell by the sword, all of them. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgression I dealt with them, and I hid my face from them. Ezek 39:22-24 Why apply this account of Gog, if you believe God’s people are innocent? So far, Russia has not come against the anointed in full force found all over the world. Putin is not using any discretion to find and single out the anointed “Israel”. He’s targeting nuclear power plants and Ukrainians. So, what good is calling Russia the “king of the north” when so far, it is impotent against “Israel”? What’s the big to do for JWs who are escaping with thousands of others? It is a serious state of affairs for the Ukrainian and the Russian people. They suffer today, now; not all of God’s holy people/saints/priesthood, who are the chosen ones! (1 Pet 2:5,9; Eph 2:20-22) Gog and Magog, supposedly a coalition of nations, yet still an army also from the north, “surrounds the saints”, and God’s priests today, according to scripture. (Ezek 38:10,11; Rev 16:13-16; 13:5-7; 20:7-9) His target is “Israel”. How will the leaders of a coalition of worldly nations know who the anointed are? NONE OF YOU JWS HAVE ANSWERED THIS QUESTION YET. To remind you, this entity – Gog, Magog, King of the North, the locusts of Joel AND Revelation 9, come against God people because of their sins against Him. Because a nation has invaded My land, strong and beyond counting. Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are those of a lioness. Joel 1:6 (Rev 13:1,2; 9:7,8) The offering and libation are withheld from the Temple of Yahweh. The priests mourn, the ministers of Yahweh. Gird yourselves and lament, O priests! Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because offering and libation are withheld from the house of your God. Joel 1:9,13 They are mourning because they have sinned and are suffering the consequences. Joel 2:12,13 Dan 9: 27 He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator." The “man of lawlessness”/northern army puts a stop to the sacrifice and offering of the priesthood. How? By replacing it, by allowing "Gentiles to “stand” over the priests, ruling over them. 2 Thess 2:3,4 - Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. To say that the man of lawlessness/northern army does not invade the TEMPLE BELONGING TO GOD, but some other temple that people say is God’s, is an outright lie! But apparently, that’s what you all believe! The spiritual temple is defined in the Insight Book, as the anointed priesthood. Mark 13:14 - "When you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be" (let the reader understand), "then those in Judea must flee to the mountains” Jer 50:8 - “Flee from the midst of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as male goats before the flock.” So, if in the presence of the locust army from the north, the king of the north, Gog and Magog from the north, man of lawlessness, Wild Beast of the Sea, (all describing the same thing), what are God’s people suppose to do? And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out from her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins, and so that you will not receive her plagues, 5 because her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.” Rev 18:4,5 The Lord is not too weak to save or his ear too deaf to hear. 2 But your wrongs have separated you from your God, and your sins have made him hide his face so that he doesn’t hear you. 3 Your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers are stained with sin. You speak lies, and you mutter wicked things. 4 No one calls for justice, and no one pleads his case truthfully. People trust pointless arguments and speak lies. They conceive trouble and give birth to evil. Isa 59:1-4 Your leaders have developed an internal army “from the north” to come against “Israel”. They’ve created the elder body over the years –a great “locust army” that can push people around by their given power to judge and disfellowship, sentencing them to a spiritual “death”; (Rev 9:3-6; 13:1,2,11,12) especially the anointed authentic priests of God. (John 16:2; Rev 13:5-7,15; 11:1-3,7) The organization has led God’s holy priesthood to trust – take confidence in - its lies, and dedicate/identify with it; thus, they have become idolaters. (Rom 1:25; Rev 13:4,10; Col 2:8) Do you not bear the mark of “Jehovah’s organization?” Are you not willing to die on behalf of “Jehovah’s organization”? This is idolatry. We are to bear one mark, that of God and His laws, not the laws of an organization and its leaders. (Deut 6:4-9) It is interesting that God’s instructions were to be posted on the doorposts of the houses of Israel in Deut 6:9 What is posted on the houses of “Jehovah’s organization”, but men’s doctrine, its changes, its prophetic failures, and its defiance to God’s laws – all symbolized physically by a blue and white sign. Your leaders have locked the anointed away from Jesus Christ, silencing them, by telling them to OBEY the “uncircumcised” “Gentile” elder body, and not BOND with their Master; but instead, listen and obey a wicked slave – listen and obey the “representatives” of God’s holy priesthood and Temple of God. (Ezek 44:6-9; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17) Matt 24:48-51 (Oh my, that must be the underlying basis for the song) This wicked slave comprises the false prophets of “Babylon”. (Jer 23:21,22; 27:9) What happened to Babylon in Jeremiah’s day? Just as the scriptures tell us, For look, I am going to stir up, and I am going to bring against Babylon a contingent of great nations from the land of the north. And they will draw up a battle formation against her, from there she will be captured. Their arrows are like a warrior who has achieved success, he does not return without success. Jer 50:9 What “Gentile” army will turn on “Babylon”, the GB/Heads/harlots of the organization? (Hos 9:1; Ps 106:39; Isa 1:21; Rev 17: 1-6) The elder body/locust army/king of the north, Beast from the Sea along with a symbolic “ten kings”, anointed but not yet sealed by God. Yes, the elder body and anointed joining them, will disfellowship, toss out, depose, strip the harlots of all authoritative identity - the wicked leaders of “Israel” who have left their covenant with God and Jesus Christ. (Isa 22:15-19; Jer 4:30; Rev 17:15-18) The war is internal, not external. There is no deceit to be discovered with Russia and the Ukraine, in relationship to “Israel”, except that the anointed and JWs have their eyes focused on the world, anxiously waiting for it to bring about the Kingdom of God. They are IGNORING Jesus’ words: Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. Luke 17:20,21 Everyone who believes in the Bible, is looking for the fulfilment of scripture, by turning to the world of war and politics. Where is the deceit to be found there, that Satan uses against “Israel”? Someone said, the most deceitful thing that Satan can do, is to convince God’s holy people that they are worshipping God “in truth”, when instead they are flooded by his lies and worship an idol. (Isa 28:14-19) 2 Thess 2:9-12 Daniel 11:31-45

Having the mind of Christ does not mean we know every thought that Jesus has, especially concerning ourselves. He is our judge, so why can we judge ourselves as the GB has, by saying they are “faithful and discreet” and demand obedience to their word? As your quote says, Jesus is the pattern we follow in defense of truth. This is how we have the mind of Christ. If we listen to the folly of men, we have the mind of fools! (Prov 18:2) Those who are part of the anointed Body of Christ, listen to our Head, Jesus. How? By respecting his word, by asking for understanding instead of assuming we can make our own thoughts work. Don’t you see that pattern happening over and over with the GB doctrine? They don’t listen to Jesus, which is extremely apparent from their failed record of teachings. (Eph 5:15) What is Jesus saying to the anointed ones? “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples. This “fruit” must LAST, not change every few years: John 15:16 – “You did not choose me, but I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.” You were just given contradictive “fruit” during the Annual meeting. It had to with the GB and apparently all anointed in the organization being taken up to heaven right before Armageddon. It was stated that this is a different teaching than 10 years ago. S. Herd said: “We understand now that all of Christ’s anointed brothers will be in heaven with him before Armageddon starts. That’s the understanding that we have today.” If this war escalates into what appears as Wt’s Armageddon, (even though they have not announced the great tribulation, as far as I know), and the GB are still here, what then? Do you see how he left a way out for further “understanding”, by saying “today”, they have this new understanding? Today’s teaching will not be tomorrow’s teaching/“fruit”. Thus….they have been proven NOT to be Christ’s disciples. I think you need to ask yourself just who you are defending; men, or Jesus? There seems to be a a side of you that wants to be close to God and Christ, and another side that balks at the word of God, at the word of Jesus Christ. “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say? 47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great.” Luke 6:46-49 Did you “hear” what Jesus said about those who prove to be his disciples, producing “fruit”/teachings that LAST - fruit that is not discarded, not removed, but REMAINS. “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do NOTHING without me. John 15:5 Can you identify which piece of fruit was sourced in Jesus, that Herd spoke about in his talk – the teaching ten years ago, or the teaching “today”? What will tomorrow bring if the teaching is altered? Did ANY of these teachings come from Jesus? No, because they DO NOT REMAIN. Did you “hear” that those who do not remain in the Spirit of Christ cannot do “anything”, thus proving they are NOT his disciples, let alone a “faithful and discreet slave" assigned to feed the household of God? Allen, let go of false teachings, and rely totally on the Father and the Son. Let go of men who do not know their right hand from their left. Isa 44:20

If you are boasting to everyone in the world that you are the "faithful and discreet slave" sent by Jesus, absorbing that title BEFORE he returns to identify that slave (Matt 25:19-21), what would you do to preserve your perceived power over the rest of God’s anointed ones – over God’s spiritual house? (Eph 2:20-22) You would downplay all possibility of a JW assuming that you could become the evil slave in Christ’s parable. Once they put it in writing, it becomes “law” - truth. The GB had it all planned out. Why? To be sure that no one will assume the title for themselves, as they have. Although, it has backfired, because it has put the GB in the position of the only anointed one that can absorb the identity of the evil slave. In view of the foregoing, what may we conclude? Was Jesus saying that many of his anointed servants would prove unfaithful and need to be replaced? No. Remember, he had just warned his “faithful and discreet slave” never to turn into an evil slave. That did not mean that he expected such an outcome. wt 15/3/15 p. 16 Truly, it is amazing that the GB can read the mind of Christ. They not only KNOW that they are the faithful slave over God's household before he tells them so, they also KNOW that the parable is "just a warning". Woe to those who go to great lengths to hide their plans from the Lord. They do their works in the dark, and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” You have turned things around, as if the potter were the same as the clay. How can what is made say about its maker, “He didn’t make me”? How can what is formed say about the one who formed it, “He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”? Isa 29:15,16

Do JWs feel they have not been deceived when they believe the exact line of reasoning as the majority who apply the Bible’s signs as literal evidence of the coming Kingdom? Of course they don’t believe they have been deceived. Yet, all Christian religions have their “king of the north/south”, as nations in the world which Satan has dominion over. So do JWs. What then, sets JWs apart from the masses in Christendom? Nothing. Almost all believers see most of the signs in Matt 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13, as LITERAL. These are Satan’s signs, in his world – fake, a deterrent, a counterfeit from the real war at hand. They are not the signs of the coming Kingdom of God. JWs in Ukraine are not all anointed – a small number compared to the general population of JWs. The organization houses most anointed ones that have remained inside, among all the anointed “saints” who were “taken captive” (Col 2:8) and attacked by "empty philosophy". It is they, who come against the two Beasts of Revelation – two – a Gog/false prophet and a Magog/Beast/organization - compiled king of the north that crushes, tramples, removes the power of God's priesthood, and “kills” any who stand up to it. (Dan 11:31,32; Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3; 13:1,2,5-7,11,12,15-18; 20:7-9) So, how is it possible that the signs are fulfilled by one country at war with another, while JWs are doing their best along with many other Ukrainians to successfully get out of there? Is God only helping JWs get out? How are the other people escaping? Who is helping them? What foolish thinking; especially when a typhoon comes along and kills JWs in their kingdom hall, known to be “God’s house”. “Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” Matt 13:10-11 It is not a secret or a mystery that the world has suffered for eons down to this day from famines, wars, earthquakes, etc. “For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” Matt 13:12,13 Parables are the key that unlock the secrets of the kingdom. Matt 13:34 – “All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable.” JW leaders tend to dismiss parables, as just “stories”. They invalidate the words of Jesus by saying they are simply “warnings” if the parable doesn’t follow their manmade doctrine. They change scriptures to read their way, to hide the connection to truth. Matt 13:8 NIV – “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.” Birth pains, not “pains of distress” (NWT) that covertly focuses the eye on the world instead of on the “woman” which represents the New Covenant (Gal 4:26) giving “birth” in Rev 12:1,2 - "A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth." Because of this, God’s anointed have been deceived, taken captive by empty philosophy. They're not applying these signs to themselves, but to the world as they are taught by false prophets. The signs of war, famine, earthquakes, etc. during the last days, are parables; their meaning is deeper than what the physical eye witnesses in the world of politics. Matt 24:3-5– “As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.” This is said right before the rest of the signs are given. Who is telling God’s people that the signs are literal? Those who have led them astray. Again, the anointed under the New Covenant “woman” (Gal 4:26) experience the signs in a spiritual way. They are presently under the authority of false prophets and a false priesthood. (Matt 24:24,25; Rev 13:11,12,18; 2 Thess 2:3,4) This signifies the war at hand, with its outcome leading to the coming of the Kingdom of God, when the last faithful anointed who perceives the signs, is sealed into the Temple of God. Satan, and the nations with Russia at the fore, can fight indefinitely, but it will not bring about the Kingdom. (Zech 4:7-10; Rev 12:5,17) As all of you feast your eyes on what you can apply physically to the fulfillment of God’s word, Jesus said, Now having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed or with a visible display; 1 nor will people say, ‘Look! Here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For the kingdom of God is among you (in the midst of you). Luke 17:20,21 Sadly, these words of Jesus Christ most likely will not reach your spiritual ears, or the ears of God’s holy priesthood who have disregarded the signs that apply to them, who are under the New Covenant. (1 Thess 5:3) Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 15 For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ Matt 13:14,15 The Sign of the End

Blocking - Channeling - 1 Cor 10:6-10? Why do you even want go there, since you deleted it from your comment, and I called you on it? Absolutely crazy. I'm done, SM.

Did I mention "GB"? This is where your imagination gets the best of you, and lies are formed. I didn't "claim" it to be the GB. "Prove"? If I agree with Pearl, we are in harmony under Jesus Christ. (Eph 4:4) What I've written here is from me, unless I have quoted her. I am sure you also must be in agreement with some other "Preacher" that speaks similar things as you do. Do you allow that person to speak for you? Or, is it the opposite? But maybe you should speak to JWs, who cannot "speak" for themselves freely in the organization on their regimented spiritual diet, without serious repercussions. (Rev 13:15-17) "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one." 1 Cor 2:12-15

Not that this will reach you since I believe you've blocked me; which is interesting that one can spout out lies and block the comeback. It is the exact tactic that the GB practices with any who speak against their lies. What you've described is demonic channeling that occurs in Bethel; proof given by eye witnesses. You know nothing "for a fact" about how the Holy Spirit teaches one - it is not channeling. I'm pretty sure I have already brought it out here once before, and if I wasn't blocked by you, you would have read the answer. If you were brave, if you really wanted to know the truth, Pearl could clue you in about the difference in demonic channeling, and learning from Jesus Christ.

It's not too late for him to learn the truth about someone, who has had experience as a member of his own religion...without another person's imagination 'tainting' the truth about her. He needs to know, since the last message is to "Israel", God's anointed, and those who reside with them. Matt 10:23; Rev 18:4-8 SM, I really don't care if you call me a false prophet. All will be made known when Jesus returns. What I do find interesting is that you spend time with JWs, and yet do not speak against the lies their leaders have prophesied over the years. Something seems fishy about that. Perhaps you do not understand the difference between what is true and what is false? As I have said before, I'll do what I can to expose the Wt for what it is; a charade that has led God's holy people astray. Matt 24:24,25; 2 Thess 2:3,4; 1 Tim 4:1; Rev 11:1-3; 13:1,2,11,12, 5-7,14-18; 16:13-16; 20:7-9

Which is exactly why I told him the truth about her. That is your opinion, your right to say whatever about me; and my opinion, my right to say once again, that you can't be trusted.

Pearl Doxsey is her name. This is her webpage, her blog: https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/ She was a JW for around 36 years, I believe, and is an anointed one guided by Holy Spirit. All genuine anointed are “inspired” by Holy Spirit at the time of their anointing (Rom 5:5) but can choose to ignore the truth God puts in their hearts, by turning to fleshly desires, instead of seeking spiritual knowledge. (1 John 2:27; John 15:5-7; Matt 7:7,8; John 17:17; Heb 8:10) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+2%3A27%3B+John+15%3A5-7%3B+Matt+7%3A7%2C8%3B+John+17%3A17%3B+Heb+8%3A10&version=NKJV (Luke 4:5-7; Matt 6:19; 1 Cor 2:13,14; Phil 3:19; Col 3:1,2) If the GB are anointed but say they are not inspired, it reveals that not all members are genuinely anointed, or that they have chosen to ignore what the Spirit can teach them, by relying on their own “philosophy”; their own doctrine. (Isa 59:2; Jer 23:16; Col 2:8,20-22; Heb 10:26; 1 Tim 4:1) Case in point, “this generation” teaching, failed dates of Armageddon, and an earthly organization as the way to salvation, which is idolatry. You are told to “move ahead with Jehovah’s organization”. This signifies that the organization “goes before” all of you, just as the golden calf made in Moses’ day, was said to “go before” the Israelites. (Exod 32:1) Is it not true that the organization touts that it alone, has brought people out of pagan worship? Exod 32:4b - Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!” “It is a flight out of the religions of Christendom, yes, out of any part of Babylon the Great. It is a flight to the place of safety within Jehovah’s theocratic organization.” km 4/89 p. 1,2 God’s only “organization” is His spiritual “house” built with living stones of anointed priests.( 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17) It is not a physical entity that requires dedication to. Pearl’s inspired message to God’s chosen people, the anointed, (Isa 43:10; 44:1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16; Eph 2:20-22)… … is one of “restoration” of the holy priesthood (“Levi”) that is under the dominion of a counterfeit priesthood ‘representing’ them – the elder body. Subsequently, the “Temple” of God has been trampled. (Dan 8:11; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:1-3; Mal 3:1-5; Matt 17:11; Rev 11:1-3) We are to put our faith in God and Jesus Christ alone, not in a manmade organization that battles the court systems to protect its riches, and wields unrighteous power over God’s holy people. (Rev 13:1,2,11,12,5-7,14-18) “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: 49 ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? 50 Has My hand not made all these things?’ 51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. Acts 7

Do you know that thousands of JWs were Catholics at one time? My brother and myself grew up as Catholics and became JWs. Interestingly, we were not "shunned" by our Catholic family for making the decision. What "woman in question", and who is it that is speaking for "her"? What sort of conspiracy are you up to now?

This is a nice quote from someone, Dmitar. We know the law was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, and is based on love. Matt 5:17; Rom 13:10 In that respect, "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place." Matt 5:18 There's something very applicable for JWs to read and apply in your quote, to their thousand-year path to physical perfection after Armageddon: If God will accept perfect heart-intentions, as instead of the absolute perfection of the flesh—then indeed we have hope of attaining to the standard which He has marked for us—the standard of perfection... But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Sam 16:7 We are judged by our heart condition, while live this life. That, is the determining factor whether we are written in the Book of Life, or not. Rev 20:12

About ten years ago, my son bought a very old and humble little house that was built with lumber milled from the massive sugar pines of the area. The lumber was gleaned from an abandoned mining town located up the mountain pass, whose heyday lasted for a few short years in the 1860’s. Since the early 1930’s this house had many changes over the years, modestly growing in size as the original family grew. Still, the family’s five children shared one small bedroom. The outhouse was exchanged for indoor plumbing amenities in the 1960’s. Ten years ago, the house received a few new walls, new flooring and new paint. But today, instead of having it leveled to the ground, which many people would favor, it is again being restored on a greater level. The internal flimsy walls are coming down, the low ceiling will be renewed and lofted. Repairs are planned that will stabilize the entire structure. With new windows, new doors, and efficient heat, little will be left to remind one of the original house. It is a restoration in progress, one that takes patience, endurance, and hard work for a young man to take on. Upon leaving the organization, many of us begin an internal restoration work on our spiritual “house” of faith. We tear down the decrepit whitewashed “walls” of false doctrines, letting the light of Christ’s truth shine in the window of our soul. (Isa 42:7; Ps 97:11; Eph 5:14; Matt 7:7; James 1:5) Under God’s grace, we are then able to discern or “see” clearly; not only the dark spiritual state we left behind, but we acknowledge the work laid out in front of us, shoring up the foundation of our faith in the truth and wisdom of the Father and Jesus Christ. (Luke 9:62; 5:36-38; Matt 7:24-27) Certainly, it takes patience and endurance to remain on the lighted path Christ has set before us. (John 1:9; 3:21; 8:12; Matt 10:38; 2 Cor 6:4; Heb 12:2) The term, “restoration” was mentioned by Governing Body member Samuel Herd, regarding pure worship, during the annual meeting of the organization. He said - “At what time are we living? We’re blessed to be living in a special time period, and this began as far back as 1914. It’s more than just the last days of this old system of things. Well, why is that? Notice what the Bible says – Acts 3:21, it’s also called the times of the restoration of all things. Now let the word, “restoration” linger in your mind. Why does that matter? We’re living in a time of restoration of all things because pure worship has been restored! We’re bathing in it, and the worship of Jehovah will never be corrupted, ever again.” Is this true? Can it be said, that JWs are “bathing” in pure worship when their doctrines have been proven to be impure with the passing of time? (Acts 20:28-30; 2 Tim 4:3,4) These past “truths” have become the refuse of false teachers, which they would rather hide from the eyes of JWs. (Matt 7:15-20;15:7-9; Luke 6:45; 1 John 1:6) An earthly organization requires rules and regulations that its members must follow. They must adhere to its mission statement, by serving its needs and goals. (Col 2:8; 2 Cor 11:19,20; Rev 13:10) To succeed as an organization, the governing leaders have contrived a form of impure worship, by attaching their own decrees to God’s word, and exalting the organization/idol as leading one to salvation. (Ps 64:1-6; Hab 1:16,17; 2 Cor 11:4; Rev 13:11,12,14) Moses expressed the covenant God made with Israel, when establishing them as His people. In Deut. 29, he reminded them of their time in Egypt – “You saw their abhorrent images and idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them. 18 Be sure there is no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Be sure there is no root among you bearing poisonous and bitter fruit. 19 When someone hears the words of this oath, he may consider himself exempt, thinking, ‘I will have peace even though I follow my own stubborn heart.’ This will lead to the destruction of the well-watered land as well as the dry land.” Heb 12:15 - “Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and defiling many.” Jesus said we will recognize false teachers by the “fruit” they produce. Revelation shows us that in the last days, God’s people, His “land” (Isa 66:1,2; John 14:23; 1 Cor 3:9; Gal 4:6; 1 Cor 3:16; Rom 8:9; Luke 8:11,15)… …are drinking in poisoned waters sourced in a root of bitterness. They are “eating” “fruit” that rots; known at one time as “present truth”. They are engaging in idolatrous practices – “eating food sacrificed to idols”. (1 Cor 10:19-22; Rev 2:20; 16:14-16) Rev 8:10,11 – “The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. 11 The star is named Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.” The fallen anointed “great star”/”Beast from the Earth”, once under covenant with God, now walks in the stubbornness of his heart. (Ps 78:5-8,36,37; Jer 11:10; Dan 11:30-32; Rev 13:11,12) “Wormwood” signified the composite leadership/”heads” of the organization today. (Rev 12:3; 17:9;13:1,11,12) It is blatantly obvious by the history of the “fruit” they have produced. (John 15:16) They have deceived the “elect”, in the only earthly organization that houses the chosen priests of God. (1 Pet 2:5,9) As we can see by the warning in Deut. 29 above, this presence of Wormwood points to the defilement of worship, through idolatry. (Jer 23:15; Amos 5:7; Matt 24:4,5,24,25; 2 Cor 11:3,4,13; Rev 13:11,12,4,15) The governing leader is correct; in that it is the time of restoration of pure worship, but it will never, ever occur in a corrupt human organization, that has allowed the spiritual house of God built with the anointed “living stones” (1 Pet 2:5), to be trampled down by “Gentiles”. “Jerusalem’s”, “walls” have been breached – truth has been thrown to the ground. (Jer 12:10; 51:51; Lam 1:17,18;2:7,8; Zeph 3:4; Dan 8:12,13;25; 9:17; Mark 13:14; 1 Cor 3:16,17; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2;13:7) These spiritual harlots have used their army of counterfeit priests to promote, support and give worship to ”Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization”. (Rom 1:25; Rev 13:4) This is what God’s anointed and all JWs, are “bathing” in – flooding waters of idolatrous teachings and the doctrine of men, which has completely crushed the relationship that God’s holy priesthood are to maintain with the Father and the Son. (1 Cor 6:15,16,18-20; 2 Cor 6:14-18; Dan 9:26; Luke 17:26,27; Rev 12:15,16; 16:13,14) Because of this plight on God’s anointed, a remnant seeks to understand what “pure worship" requires. They desire to give acceptable offerings to Him, through sacrifices of praise as He has intended for His priesthood to carry out. (Jer.30:3; Isa.14:2; Hosea6:11; Zeph.3:20) ( Jer 3:22; 1 Pet 2:9; Heb 13:15; Rev 7:10,12) Depending on the translation, “restoration” is used in 2 Chron 24:13,27(NIV), mentioning the “repairing” of the temple and restoring its walls after the siege of Babylon. In God’s spiritual Temple today, each anointed is a “living stone” dwelling of His Spirit. (1 Cor 3:16,17) Isa 58:8 speaks of a promise of spiritual healing, of a “restoring to soundness” to God’s Israel, who were burdened down by sin resulting in the rejection of His laws. This spiritual healing restores the relationship between the Father and His “sons”. ( Jer 8:22; 51:51; 30:17,18; Ps 119:18) In 2 Cor 13:11(NIV) it alludes to the individual, ‘mending what has been broken’, to reach perfection of faith through instruction and training in God’s word. This leads to repentance, discipline and refinement. (Zeph 3:4; Ezek 44:23; Mal 2:7) (1 John 2:3-5;3:7,8,23,24; 5:3; 2 John 1:6; Col 3:9; Heb 12:5,6,11; Rev 3:18) And Acts 3:21, the scripture the leader mentioned, which speaks of repentance through Jesus Christ, and the turning back to pure worship of God, leading to the “times of restoration of all things”. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+3%3A19-21&version=CSB The necessary restoration of pure worship is based on the sound teachings of Jesus Christ - Truth. (2 Tim 1:13; 4:3,5) Have the organization’s leaders repented for their numerous failed predictions and promises? It would be evident by their “fruit”, showing that they have converted fully to Jesus Christ for guidance. They would reject the need for the organization and would gather with the anointed body under Jesus Christ, instead of preventing their bonding, as they express in their literature. (Lam 4:1,16,12,13; Dan 9:7; Luke 19:44; 21:24; Eph 4:4;1 Cor 12:27,25,26) However, they continue to exalt the idol and rely on concocted delusions of their own minds. (Isa 65:2;Jer 3:23; 51:17,18; 23:26) After the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon, Nehemiah had heard from survivors, “The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned in the fire.” (Neh 1:3) He mourned for days at this news, recognizing that the result of the grievous sins of his people, led to their capture. These walls were a protection from the enemy forces, yet without God’s Spirit as their ultimate protection, they were conquered. (Ezek 5:11) Nehemiah spoke of the promise God gave under Moses: 9 “But if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, even though all of your outcasts are at the furthest parts of heaven, I will gather them and bring them to the place which I have chosen to make my name dwell.” Neh 1:9 The following event related by Jesus Christ in Matt 17:11, has been deliberately ignored by the organization, by falsely saying this took place with John the Baptist. Matt 17:10,11 - So the disciples asked him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? " 11 "Elijah is coming and will restore everything," he replied. I am wondering how the organization justifies their “restoration” without the appearance of the prophet in the manner of “Elijah”. It is by the word of men that they announce “restoration”, and not by the word of God. (2 Pet 1:21) This work of a designated prophet sent by God before the return of Christ, is also outlined in Mal 3:1-4. The work of "Elijah" preaches a restoration of the bond between God's elect, and their Fathers (Matt.17:11; Luke1:16-17; Isa.61:3-4). Without the restoration of those bonds... demonic teachings, cloudy eyes, lying hands, darkness, wormwood waters, sin, and death, (1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:14-16; 2:20; 13:11,15; Amos 5:18,20)… …will take away all the "earth"/homeland of God. This is why Jesus causes these "two witnesses" to prophesy (Rev.11:3), for the sake of a late crop/remnant… (Rev.20:5; Amos7:1; Rev.7:9,13-14; Isa.1:9; 37:32; Ezra 9:8; Eze.14:22; Luke13:23-24; Matt.24:22; 19:25-26; Isa.37:32) …which still contains a blessing (Isa.65:8; Joel 2:14) (John15:4-5; Luke21:36; 12:37; Prov.1:23). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa.65%3A8%3B+Joel+2%3A14%3BJohn15%3A4-5%3B+Luke21%3A36%3B+12%3A37%3B+Prov.1%3A23&version=NIV Pearl Doxsey - “Two Witnesses/Lampstands” https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2016/02/two-witnesses-lampstands.html A new coat of whitewash applied by the governing leaders, will not support apostate “Jerusalem’s” walls of lies any longer. We are now seeing the bare bones of false doctrine exposed, leaving them unable to defend their lies. (Prov 26:23-28; Deut 29:20,21; Jer 50:38; 51:6,7,12,13; Rev 18:3-10) Their “house” is crumbling. (Prov 18:11; Ezek 13:10,11,12,14,15) Those of “New Jerusalem” who, with patient endurance, strive to be faithful and submit to refinement by the Father, are rebuilding walls of truth through their message of reunion and restoration. (2 Cor 1:6;Heb 10:36; Rev 14:12; 1 Thess 2:4; 7:17) Isa 49:6 - "He says: "It is too small a thing for you to be My servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that My salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."

The video is about concealment, the hiding of the history of teachings by your leaders, since its inception. This could have been an easy access for JWs to peruse all publications, but it is guarded and only a select group can go there. The fourth layer of your website gives access to all changes in doctrines over the years, for comparison reasons. That too, is locked away from the average JW. Instead, you receive what is called, “Beliefs Clarified”, most likely a shaved down version, not containing all changes. Every one of these changes are lies, not clarifications of truth from Jesus Christ. If one claims to teach truth, but hides what he has taught, has it ever been truth? The massive database of publications that you cannot access because they are defunct, proves one thing - the production of "bad fruit". Matt 7:15-20. "Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Matt 15:20 Know who? False teachers, false prophets prophesied by Jesus Christ to deceive the chosen ones - anointed, in the last days. “but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.” 1 Thess 5:21,22 It is impossible for JWs to do that, to test what their leaders have produced and make the choice to abstain from "bad fruit". This is restricted on their own approved website - to examine the entire production of "fruit" taught by the organization over the years. Not one JW here, is expressing an opinion on this, except Dmitar, which tells me, that JWs - …Are blind and “drunk” on their leaders' “wine”/teachings, and don’t care (Isa 28:7-15; Jer 5:30,31; Rev 17:1-6) …Are too uncomfortable to consider why they can’t view their organization’s publications at the touch of a finger, on the approved website for them to use; which is cognitive dissonance. …May have their opinion, may not even like it, but refuse to make waves. Sure, they can go elsewhere to find old publications while at the same time their leaders warn them not to. Are Wt leaders who do have access, better persons, stronger, smarter, more qualified somehow to study what the organization taught in the past? It’s all about control of the masses. SM, never a JW, never a member of the organization, went down his own road following his own agenda. That's fine, but he pushed it on myself and Srecko; seemingly diverting guilt on us, instead of guilting the organization for their spiritual cult-like tactics, and their inability to teach truth in Jesus Christ. But, what can one expect from a pushy guy, a "Preacher" of the “world”, who seems to think he understands what it is to be a JW or an exJW.🙂

From the very beginning of posting the video, racism, Nazism, the Holocaust was never my "beef" from the video. That is what you gleaned from it, and that is what you have expounded upon. It is your choice! I don't condemn your choice of topic from the video, but the Wt. IS, and will continue to be, my focus. This is not hiding behind it, but exposing its lies by bringing them to the fore. I saw a different aspect of the video, a hidden lie and I commented on it. Accept it, SM. You have your agenda, and I have mine.

So although you defend the Wt, you never became a baptized JW like I did, subjecting myself to their falsehoods. And evidence shows they have certainly re-written their own history and present a polished picture to the fresh population of JWs. It is a conundrum to see you as a preacher (with a capital "p") defending an organization that has failed miserably at teaching truth; while on the other hand, saying you would not subject yourself to falsehoods.

For someone never a member of the organization, this is purely conjecture. If you, a preacher never a JW, want to defend Wt’s teachings, go right ahead!

Light. "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 Light from God is wisdom. It is a gift we receive through Jesus Christ, when we sincerely ask in faith. “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:9-13 Wisdom is a gift from God that we receive when we search for it, when we ask for it. This light of wisdom and truth in Jesus Christ, never grows dim, and never goes out. John 8:12 - "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” This can't found where teachings are discarded for other teachings...that are also discarded. Were these teachings of Wt, that no longer are taught, ever gifts from God and Jesus? Not according to the inspired words above. Wt. leaders consistently give their followers stones and serpents, instead of bread and fish - spiritual food for nourishment. Surely, some JW here must agree that "old light" never again referred to, cannot be considered a "gift" from God, but instead, originates in the folly of men. These decrepit teachings die out and rot. Matt 7:15-20 Eccl 2:13 - "I realized that wisdom has an advantage over folly, just as light has an advantage over darkness." Anyone who reaches this realization, and leaves the Wt. to follow Jesus Christ, has chosen to walk away from darkness, and embrace the light of Christ. "The light of the righteous will rejoice, but the lamp of the wicked will die out." Prov 13:9

I never said the Archives "are unknown to people." You said: “If the publications were indeed concealed, why is it the Archives exist, which is actually known to JWs?” My response: JWs in general? NO!! They don't all know about it! They blindly follow their leaders advice to stay away from anything that is not approved by the GB! JWs in general are not aware of the Archive.org. I personally didn’t know about it until a few back, and I was a JW for over 30 years. I have been out of the organization since around 2013. Get your facts straight. The login leading to the history of all publications, that is accessible to only an elite few, who happen to be in Bethel, is on the jw website at the bottom of the page. The average JW cannot use it. It is a different login than the one provided at the top of the web page. Thus, JWs cannot gain access to the history of publications that go back to the beginning of time, through the JW website! They are limited on access to publications that go back to about 1950 through the "online library". Even there, many articles are still unavailable on that "online library". They are discouraged from using the Archive, as I pointed out with their own quote from a magazine. As I've said before, you can't trusted. You are very guilty of twisting what a person says. Done. 🙂

For a man who demands facts, you use a lot of "bias" opinions. Again and for the last time, I did not post the video because of the racial aspect, but to show JWs that a separate login is available for a select few, providing access the database of Wt. publications. If you don't think this is "news" to JWs, then read the comments under the video to see the reaction of those people who are, or once was, a JW. It looks to me that you are quite guilty of applying this yourself. This coverup is intentional by the Wt., to lock away their faulty teachings from the public and from the general population of JWs, which shows the necessary hiding of their sins. This was my focus. I have nothing to repent because of it. The GB are modern day Pharisees, cleaning the outside of the cup - the face of their website that the population sees - but inside, are full of "greed and evil". (Luke 11:39) The history of the publications shows them as false prophets, false teachers, prophesying/teaching "delusions of their own mind". Jer 23:26

No. I chose the one I cared to answer. You have such a habit of ordering people around.
