Hebrew 101 🙂

I can't believe your blindness. I just wrote a topic on loving Jesus Christ without bounds, and you say I reject Jesus. You can't see the forest for the trees. Is the tetragrammaton less important to you than the hybrid name, "Jehovah"? If I call God, "Father", am I a hypocrite? If I use the letters YHVH to represent the God I am referring to, am I a "Big Fake"? Have I rejected God and His Son? Or, have I just rejected the hybrid name, "Jehovah"?

No, it reads, "Yah Will Save, Yah Saves" On the JW website is the "Bible in Living English". https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/publication/r1/lp-e/by It states, "As to the Old Testament name of God, certainly the spelling and pronunciation “Jehovah” were originally a blunder." (page 7) You also might want to check out John 1:1 in this Bible owned by the Society, and also in the "Emphasized Bible", which uses "Yahweh" and not "Jehovah". https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/binav/r1/lp-e/rh

This quote came from another forum: "Like those in Christendom, the early Bible Students mistakenly allowed their love for Jesus to overshadow their relationship with Jehovah. Beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that Jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship. We can be thankful that we understand that our affection for Jesus is key to having a relationship with Jehovah. We must attach neither too much nor too little importance to our love for Jesus.—John 16:27"..... Wt. 4/2020 study edition We must attach neither too much nor too little importance to our love for Jesus. How does that work? It works well through fear and ignorance. JWs are taught not to love, and taught to downplay the role of Christ. Many call him “the ransom” – true, but very sterile. I was thinking how the name “Jehovah” is used much more than “Father”. “Jehovah” is said to be a friend; a father can be a friend, but the true love between a father and a son has no limits. If Jesus and the Father are “one”, (John 10:30) and we are to honor the Son as we honor the Father, (John 5:23) wouldn’t our love for both have no bounds? JWs are to “imitate Jehovah”. I doubt God regulates how much love He has for His Son. If the leadership feels love for Christ must be bridled, kept in check, where is their scriptural proof. Their choice of John 16:27 doesn’t cut it. “neither too much nor too little”. Right in the middle – neither hot nor cold. Tepid. Synonyms: dull, halfhearted, unenthusiastic, apathetic, disinterested…lukewarm. I personally, would never underestimate Christ’s reaction on the matter, upon his return. ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold (invigorating, refreshing) nor hot (healing, therapeutic); I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm (spiritually useless), and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth [rejecting you with disgust]. 17 Because you say, “I am rich, and have prospered and grown wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked [without hope and in great need] I counsel you to buy from Me gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that you may become truly rich; and white clothes [representing righteousness] to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be seen; and healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see. 19 Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I rebuke and discipline [showing them their faults and instructing them]; so be enthusiastic and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will]. Rev 3:15-20

I just read Zeph 3 this morning - Zeph 3 - Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! 2 She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God. 3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning. 4 Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law. (Ezek 44:6-9..."representing the royal priesthood...") Matt 7: 15 “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.” Matt 24:24,25 – “For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Take note: I have told you in advance.” 2 Pet 3 - 15 “And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, 16 speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures. 17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth.” Paul related, “I know that after I am gone fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them.” …leading astray, “even the elect”. Matt 24:24

“To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled. “ This means, “Everything is pure for someone whose heart is pure.” Why is their heart pure? Because they do not entertain the impure. Right? They guard their heart. If a heart is defiled, would they perceive the pure? Titus 1:16 – “They claim to know God, but they deny God by the things that they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified to do anything good.” Rom 14 - So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another. 20 Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make someone fall by what he eats. 21 It is a good thing not to eat meat, or drink wine, or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble. Now this is an interesting choice, obviously concerning literal food and the Jewish law. How do you compare this with Matt 7:15-20 which advises us on how to choose our spiritual food? Which takes us back to the video and the contradictive message on music published in the magazine; and the leadership's choice for the convention, which clearly disregards the spiritual food provided as a guide. Do they deny God by the things that they do?

I hate to say this so bluntly, but maybe the real idiots are those who are duped by a deceiving leadership. This video reveals the worldly music used by the organization, at the end of the 2016 Regional Convention in their video on paradise.

If you feel need to, I'm fine with it. I wish you really desired to know these things instead of desiring to slander. Who does the name, "Jacob" represent? Isn't it another name for "Israel"? First, it included the physical nation of Israel, now it includes the "chosen" priests/anointed of God that comprise the Holy Temple and dwelling of God. (Isa 43:10; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) This was the promise given to Jacob: And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground with its top reaching the sky, and God’s angels were going up and down on it. 13 The Lord was standing there beside him, saying, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land on which you are lying. 14 Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is none other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.” Gen 28 John 1:51 "Then he said, “Truly I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Angels are messengers. The Greek word "angel" is used as "messenger" to describe John the Baptist. Messengers are God's priests. Mal 2:7 Jesus is saying that in the Kingdom, the "144,000" will be ascending and descending between heaven and earth, as a new creation, serving Christ who also will be ascending and descending between heaven and earth. If the anointed of "Israel" are righteous, they receive this inheritance, the "land", the earth promised them in Jacob's dream. Jesus will return to the earth as the scriptures tell us. Heb 1:6 - Again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, And let all God’s angels worship him. You are aware that this information can be found on the blog. I

No, but I have questioned your mental behavior ever since I've been a member on this forum.

Who said they were earthbound? Neither Pearl or myself have said that. You can find out about what the "new creation" is, on her blog. Just type it in the search box.

The lyrics are quite good. It seems to depend on what "world" and what light you are speaking about. There are two sides of spiritual light; one side is fake, crafted by the devil. (2 Cor 11:13-15) The other side is the genuine light of Christ through his teachings. (John 1:1-4) Besides other interpretations, this song can be viewed in two opposing ways; one by those who live under the fake light of a masquerade - those in the "world" of the Wt. The other interpretation is for those who leave the darkness of falsehoods, a “different Jesus” preached by eight men and their massive entourage of elder “helpers” who love their rulership over eight million people, more than they love the light of Jesus Christ’s teachings. (2 Cor 11:4; 1 Tim 4:1) The no longer blind ones, who keep searching for the light of truth after false teachings were fed to them for years, and while under the the fear of standing against lies for so long…finally open the door to Jesus Christ and truth. They are those who have found the genuine light. (John 8:12; 12:46) As the song ends, "Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)You need never feel broken againSometimes darknessCan show you the light" " These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." Rev 3:7,8,19,20

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I was taking it for granted that scriptural principles would be based solely, clearly, on the truth they hold, and that they would remain that way. A "principle" can mean "a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. The GB make use of a scriptural principle, such as "preaching the good news", but change the message to support their chain of reasoning - the doctrine of men. If we consider the message preached over the years, with all of its dates and rotten teachings, the message is determined at the time by the mental behavior of the leadership; actually, deceptions created in their own minds, without the spiritual guidance of God. (Jer 14:14; Matt 16:6) As you say, their teachings are proven to be "unbiblical principles".

It doesn't indicate that at all. You are too use to the way religion today is run. You expect money to be involved; spiritual food to be bought with outlined donations and slavery, as expected by the organization you belong to. (Rev 13:11,12,14-18) But it isn't what Jesus admonished for his followers. (Matt 6:20-24; Luke 12:15; 1 Tim 6:6-12) If you don't believe me, why don't you email her and ask DIRECTLY if she makes money off of those who read her blogs? Her email is on the blog. Isaiah 55

Wt 13/1/15 pg 27-31 “Rather than making rigid rules for the congregation, ELDERS rely on Scriptural principles and direction from Jehovah’s organization. After all, present-day elders are not the masters over their brothers’ faith.—1 Pet. 5:2, 3 In reality, scriptural principles are basically ignored, while direction from the organization dictates every working aspect of the Watchtower. We have proof of this with the leaders’ resolve to barely bend their rigid rules with child molestation cases. (Isa 10:1,2) They are without a doubt cruel masters over the faith of each JW through their restrictive decrees that conflict with the ordinances of the true God, founded on love and righteousness. ( Isa 29:13;Hab 1:4; 2 Cor 11:4,20;Col 2:20-22; Ps 89:14-17) As a result, it is absolutely clear the organization does not follow God’s laws outlined by Christ and verified by scripture. Remembering that the governing body admit they are NOT INSPIRED by God’s Holy Spirit, (Wt 2017/2) Anthony Morris stated that the “theocratic organization” receives its decisions or “decrees” from God. Quote: “When that direction comes out to Branch committee members, or when it comes out to the congregations; IF you want Jehovah’s blessing ON YOU as an individual or family, certainly as an ELDER or congregation, it’d be best to ask Jehovah to help you understand it, BUT OBEY THE DECISION.” (Joel 2:7) The scriptures are set. We are not to add or take away from them. The foundation of truth is outlined in Eph 2:20-22. That foundation is comprised of Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles. THAT’S IT. Deut 4:2: “You shall NOT ADD TO the word which I command you, NOR TAKE FROM IT, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” For any anointed ones who compare themselves and their earthly organization to the apostles and a fabricated earthly organization, by simply saying "like the apostles"... and who believe they can set decrees outside of the Temple of Truth, they are false apostles who have set their own foundation based on lies. 2 John 1:9-11 - "Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you, and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him, 11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds." If we claim we remain in the teachings of Christ, we would not at any point add our own decrees based on our own earthly fleshy desires to rule over individuals who must support an idol - "Jehovah's organization". This is perversion of what is written in the Bible. (Rom 1:25; Rev 13:4,15) Gal 1:6-10 - "I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”, 7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ. 8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. 9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed. 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ."

This is the link to the article mentioned here, “The Remaining Ones”, by Pearl Doxsey who does not “subscribe” to any one tool that is readily available on the internet for a sincere Bible student’s use. The Remaining Ones There is no money-making scheme that Pearl and all the disciples of Christ who read and share her articles, are involved in. There are no donations taken, no member role, no tallying of hours in a preaching work, no construction of massive building efforts, no rigid program that must be held to, no answering to men, no involvement in politics, or investments in the stock market or hedge funds - no earthly organization. There is nothing but spiritual food offered to those who care to read it, and have their questions answered. The rest is up to the individual and their relationship with God and Jesus Christ. “For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.” 2 Cor 2:17 Here is a link for any who desire to understand who inherit the earth, Judgment of "Heaven" and "Earth"

On the Wt's website, the words "governing body" and "apostles" are mentioned in the same article, 523 times. 192 times in the same paragraph; 119 times in the same sentence. The seed was planted early on, that the present Governing Body, are today's apostles. "The Governing Body follows the pattern set by “the apostles and elders in Jerusalem” in the first century, who made important decisions on behalf of the entire Christian congregation. (Acts 15:2) Like those faithful men, the members of the Governing Body are not the leaders of our organization. They look to the Bible for guidance, acknowledging that Jehovah God has appointed Jesus Christ as the Head of the congregation. Frequently Asked Questions About Jehovah’s Witnesses p. 41 Like the first-century apostles and elders in Jerusalem, the Governing Body gives direction to the global congregation. Enjoy Life Forever!—An Interactive Bible Course p. 83 "But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news”, which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough. 5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." 2 Cor 11 I'd hate to be in the shoes of the GB when they face not only Jesus Christ, but his genuine apostles. Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Matt 19:28

When someone projects a doctrine to thousands of people, convincing them that what they claim is proven truth, but later is revealed as a lie...that act against truth is an assassination of character of the millions of people who believed the lie. There is no righteousness in a lie. None. The governing leaders have no deep heart-felt concern, no compassion for the sake of the hearer. They display absolute slander against the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit by promoting their organization as "the truth". Incredibly, the eight compare themselves to the apostles. (2 Cor 11:13) The word “apostle” describes one set forth as a special “commissioner of Christ”. Paul, “called to be an apostle”, (Rom 1:1) fulfilled this role as a teacher and a prophet given miraculous powers. If a JW would just compare Paul’s works to those of the governing leaders - their “fruits” (Matt 7:15,20), the absence of love for Christ’s anointed members, thus for Jesus Christ and Truth - the distinction between who is an ambassador of Christ and who is not, would be crystal clear. The distinction between truth and lies would be glaringly apparent to them. Paul said the following words to Timothy, about his fellow workers, “the elect”: “Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Tim chapter 2 I said, "Will any teaching by the Watchtower be proven as clear and truthful? Think about it, JWs. If this organization was blessed by God's Holy Spirit, would that Spirit mislead its leaders into telling a falsehood for over seventy years? It was once proven that Gog was Satan; will it be proven in ten year's time that what was once CLEAR TRUTH about "Gog" now being a coalition of nation, will be found to be a falsehood? " The apostle Paul said, "But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. The organization and its leadership who promote lies, is a cancerous growth. A person with cancer can either ignore it and die, or do his best to fight against it's deathly hold, by seeking help. Don't settle, JWs, for men who continue to fill your minds with doctrine that are of "no profit, to the ruin of the hearers". Jesus is the "Way, the Truth and the Life". Seek his words, not the words of liars. John 14:6

"An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who are not accused of wildness or rebellion. 7 As an overseer of God’s household, he must be blameless, not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not an excessive drinker, not a bully, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding to the faithful message as taught, so that he will be able both to encourage with sound teaching and to refute those who contradict it." Titus 1:6-9 God's household: "you yourselves, as living stones, a spiritual house, are being built to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Pet 2:5 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people." Heb 8:10 Spiritual house: "So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit." Eph 2:20-22 Holy Temple: "And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, as God said: I will dwell and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." 2 Cor 6:16 "Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?" 1 Cor 3:16 God's temple is God's spiritual house of "Israel" - God's household of "saints"/living stones. God's household is made up of the anointed priesthood under their High Priest, Jesus Christ. "Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus— 20 he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh)— 21 and since we have a great high priest over the house of God" Heb 10:19-21 Were uncircumcised Gentiles or foreigners allowed in God's Temple? Never. (Ezek 44:6-9) The elder body of the Watchtower is by far not comprised of anointed priests who have received "circumcision of the heart". (Rom 2:29) The scriptures about elders are referring to those who oversee "God's household" as anointed "saints".

"Therefore Gog still represents, not a visible human ruler or nation, such as Russia, but a spirit ruler. Whom, then, does Gog symbolize? It is evident now that Gog is a figure prophetic of the ruler of all seven demon princes, namely, Satan the Devil." w53 10/1 p. 583 "However, recent Bible investigation has proved that Gog of Magog is a prophetic symbol of the false god of this world, Satan the Devil, when making his final attack upon the Christian witnesses of God’s kingdom of heaven." w60 4/15 p. 243 "Gog is “the ruler of this world,” Satan the Devil. He received the name Gog after his ouster from heaven, following the Kingdom’s birth in 1914. (John 12:31) “The land of Magog” is the location to which Gog and his demons are confined in the vicinity of the earth. w88 9/15 p. 24-25" "Gog of Magog is identified as Satan the Devil in his debased position since 1914. As a spirit creature, he cannot carry out his attack directly, but he will use human agencies to do his deeds. Who will these human agencies be? The Bible does not give us details, yet it does give us certain indications that can help us to identify who they will be." w03 6/1 p. 20-21 "When we compare all these Bible references about the final attack on God’s people, it is clear that the name Gog of Magog does not refer to Satan. Instead, Gog of Magog refers to a group of nations. ws15 5/15 p. 27-28 Although it was proven by "Bible investigation" that Gog is Satan and Magog IS the location where Gog and his demons are confined on the earth (!), the leadership of the organization was preaching a falsehood, for over 70 years. NOW, it is evidently CLEAR that Gog of Magog DOES NOT REFER TO SATAN. Will any teaching by the Watchtower be proven as clear and truthful? Think about it, JWs. If this organization was blessed by God's Holy Spirit, would that Spirit mislead its leaders into telling a falsehood for over seventy years? It was once proven that Gog was Satan; will it be proven in ten year's time that what was once CLEAR TRUTH about "Gog" now being a coalition of nation, will be found to be a falsehood? "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." John 16:13

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-12-02-smoking-gun-pfizer-document-exposes-fda-criminal-cover-up-of-vaccine-deaths.html Thanks to the efforts of a group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, we now have smoking gun confidential documents that show Pfizer and the FDA knew in early 2021 that pfizer’s mRNA vaccines were killing thousands of people and causing spontaneous abortions while damaging three times more women than men. One confidential document in particular was part of a court-ordered release of FDA files that the FDA fought by claiming the agency should have 55 years to release this information. A court judge disagreed and ordered the release of 500 documents per month, and the very first batch of documents contained this bombshell entitled, “Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports.” https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf Or here, mirrored on NN servers: https://www.naturalnews.com/files/536-postmarketing-experience.pdf The document reveals that within just 90 days after the EUA release of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, the company was already aware of voluntary adverse reaction reports that revealed 1,223 deaths and over 42,000 adverse reports describing a total of 158,893 adverse reactions. The reports originated from numerous countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and other nations. Aside from “general disorders,” the No. 1 most frequently reported category of mRNA vaccine adverse reactions was Nervous system disorders, clocking in at 25,957 reports.

Sorry, I'm done playing court with you. You can call the next witness to take the stand.

Preaching, giving testimony about Christ is entirely different than developing an organization - a legal corporation. The money went where it was needed - with people in need, not toward stimulating an organization/corporation. What does that have to do with the statement of mine that you quoted? I was speaking about the "trampling" of today's priesthood by the elder body. Is it necessary to have earthly treasures to build a spiritual Temple? 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22 There is no revenue generated from any of those sources that you mentioned. If you actually would look at the sites, you see that it they are blogs without advertisement, that are paid for by the person initiating the blog. "Christsdisple" is an entirely different person than Pearl. They support each other, only in truth.

Some of these words may sound familiar. Although you already know where I stand, maybe others need to hear. I suppose in that sense, the time is not wasted. Did the apostles develop an organization founded in the world of commerce, religion and politics, to accomplish God's will? We have no record of such a thing in the scriptures. We have individuals directly being motivated by the Spirit. (Acts 8:29,39;13:2,4; 16:6) This so-called "earthly Zion" requires earthly treasures to be procured and utilized, to spiritually house people; people deceived into believing they are whole-souled in their devotion to God. (Matt 6:19-21) This demonic brainchild attracts the “saints”, by using scripturally sound offerings of Christ’s truth, as bait for the hook. (Matt 24:24,25; 1 Tim 4:1; Col 2:8; Rev 13:4) They are invited, welcomed, and told to watch God’s plan in action, as He uses an organization founded in the world of commerce, religion and politics, to accomplish His will. The saints, God’s priests of “Israel”, (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17) gradually become residents in name only, because their time to “rule” will not occur until the Kingdom arrives, or so the leaders of this ingenious plan tell them. Rom 15:15,16 shows an active priesthood, but today we witness a languishing anointed priesthood. (2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2) (1 Thess 5:3; Rev 3:1-3,14-22) They have been consumed by a tally of millions who have joined what is now, a necessary “evil”. There is nothing wrong with people gathering with anointed ones. It is happening on the other side of the WT fence, never to be organized by man’s will. What is wrong with the organization, is its leader’s dismissal of God’s priests gradually, over time. (Ezek 44:6-9) So, God apparently uses earthly treasures under Satan’s control, to carry out His will, but does not use His chosen people to facilitate "pure worship' – a priesthood under their High Priest, Jesus Christ. (Eph 2:20-22; Rev 5:9,10) In this scheme, even Christ appears to have chosen others to serve him – “Gentile” elders, who are said to “represent” God’s priesthood. Truly, this is out of harmony with the spirit of the divine plan. Earthly treasures build an earthly organization, which needs men with natural instincts, to appoint men with the same innate desires. (1 Cor 2:10-14) Do they keep the organization up and running, to administer teachings about God? Or, is it to administer teachings about an organization? (Rom 1:25; Rev 13:1,2,5-7,15) When it is viewed in this light, why would God use His appointed priestly members of His heavenly Temple to fulfill their role as priests, in an organization advancing in the “kingdom” of Satan? "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 2 Cor 6:14-16 This is a comment made recently by a JW on reddit: "I had a conversation with an elder about things we're asked to follow without scriptural basis. He said forget about the bible, do you believe in God's organization? My jaw dropped and I looked him in the eye and said 'my brother, we believe in God, Jesus and the Bible, not man made rules. The Bible is the basis of all our beliefs, not men. You shocked me asking me to put the bible aside and believe in an organization? You are unbelievable.' I was stunned." Looks like that is what it has come down to. Pure idolatry to a "mountain-like organization". (Dan 11:36-39) Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” The only organization that God recognizes, is the one trampled by the man of lawlessness/elder body. (2 Thess 2:3,4) If anyone can discern what has happened to God's Temple priesthood, they are to FLEE the organization. (Dan 8:10-14; Mal 3:1-3; Matt 24:15,16; Mark 13:14-20; Rev 18:4-8) YHVH'S Genuine Organization

For a certain, Allen is here. 🙂

I think we both know how this happened. Allen, what's with all the questions? Do you have me on a witness stand in a courtroom? We both know the answer to this also.
