As they say, "necessity is the mother of invention". @TrueTomHarley stated: “It is initially shocking to see ones taunting the Most High, all the more so when they purposefully make themselves obtuse about how God works with and through humans. The fact that they have nothing to offer that is better doesn’t phase them in the slightest, as they do nothing but condemn the GB, their spiritual betters.” There is so much said in that paragraph that excuses the “inventions” of men’s minds. Is this how God works through humans? Did Jesus expect his servants to create chaos? Confusion? Anticipation and invention of how to rectify a teaching that expired? Who, is really taunting the Most High? There is something better that is offered. 27 "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” 30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. John 6:27-36

Did you know that the anointed "Israel" are compared to stars in the heavens? (Dan 12:3; Phil 2:15; Eph 2:6; Rev 1:20) An anointed one can be "led away by the error" of lawlessness...and fall from his "stable position". 2 Pet 3:17 They are also described as "wandering stars" - "These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever." Jude 1:12,13 The stars that remain in Jesus' "right hand" follow a set course, the path he took. (Rev 1:20) They follow his teachings and do not waver from them. The proof that the governing leaders are not those stars in Jesus' hand, is their continual "changed course" in teachings. Don't let their smooth talk convince you of bogus, "new light". This is evidence that they are "wandering stars", groping in the dark, for new doctrine to replace the old.

Thank you so much for such a great explanation. What caught my attention was your use of “soil” as describing the “lure/bait” that attracts. That bait is not enough for a solid faith in truth to thrive. The soil is poor in nutrients – truth; other than providing the initial boost, received at the outset. When I think of myself when first entering the organization, I felt that initial boost, but as the years went by, the joy dissipated, the attention to be given to the organization became drudgery. The “soil” was not fortified over the years, just as it isn’t today. It lacks the “bread of life” and the “living water” from Jesus Christ. Men who rely on their own understanding – their own doctrine - cannot provide such things. John 6:35; 7:38 “Their worship of me is empty, because they teach human rules as doctrines.’” Empty – “vain, fruitless, folly”, which results in “soil”, not fit to grow a genuine and nourished faith, in the Father. If JWs could only see that the organization runs solely on the doctrine of men. As you say, “disappointment is inevitable”.

You are told that God’s Spirit is with this organization. (Rev 13:15) Yet, history proves that with each false prophesy and failed teaching by your leaders, God’s Spirit is not resting in the organization. (Prov 12:22) The God of Truth would not lie, and neither would Jesus Christ, who is Truth. (John 1:14,17;14:6) If you say God is with you, all JWs are liars themselves. (Prov 13:5) In your mind and hearts, you have blurred the boundary line, between truth and lies. It should be distinct within your heart. You should be appalled when realizing your leaders have lied to you. Instead, it’s like a dream that you awake from and forget about, as you continue through your day. If a poisonous snake crossed your path when hiking, wouldn’t you remember that day clearly, and how you made a rapid escape from its strike? Why is it, that a lying tongue of your leaders, causes no recoil on the part of a JW? If you continue to love a lie, or excuse the lies taught by your leaders – lies that comprise the foundation and progressive teachings of the organization, where does that get you in the end? Do you realize there are specific spiritual references made to a people who turn a blind eye to falsehoods, as I see you are doing here? (Hos 11:12; Jer 5:31) Every falsely projected date, every teaching that has changed course several times over the years, is evidence of a lying spirit among you. Two contrasting spirits cannot reside side by side. (John 16:13; 1 Tim 4:1,2) Either this organization IS PURE TRUTH; or it is A COMPLETE LIE, masquerading as if it is truth; and since false teachings are your history, the father of the lie directs this organization – an entity that JWs have come to “love”. (Matt 7:15-20; John 8:44; Rev 13:1,2,11,12) (2 Thess 2:9-12) (2 Cor 11:13-15) The anointed have the responsibility to preserve the teachings/laws of Jesus Christ, who would never encourage his servants to tell a falsehood. (Ps 119:160;Mal 2:7; Heb 8:10) In him, there is NO LIE. (1 John 2:21) He is the Spirit of Truth. (John 16:13) Since the anointed inside are subservient to the elder body, they have failed in following God’s will to preserve TRUTH IN CHRIST. (1 John 2:27) They have lost their “salt” – a spiritual preservative; and are trampled down by the “man of lawlessness”/elder body who “represents the royal priesthood”. They cannot “shine” their lamp of truth when elders rule over them, extinguishing any Spirit of Truth they have received upon their anointing. (Matt 5:13-16; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2) The speakers in the video may or may not have been anointed. But, because they promoted a lie, they have a judgment by Christ waiting for them. (Matt 7:23; 2 Tim 2:15) Their safe haven is not the organization, or their willingness to continue as a good “elder”. If they leave the entire environment of falsehoods and repent before Christ, their judgment takes on a different outlook. (Ps 145:18; John 8:32; Col 3:9) So, humility is realizing the difference between a lie and the truth. Arrogance is ignoring that difference, believing that God does the same thing. (Prov 26:12) An anointed one’s humility expressed before God, is by upholding Truth, and tearing down the lies. The apostles were humble men, but powerful in Spirit, to expose and destroy lies spoken against Jesus Christ and the Father. (John 17:17; Eph 6:10,11; 2 Cor 10:4,5;1 Pet 5:8,9) Jesus did the same thing before the Scribes and Pharisees. To walk in the path of Jesus Christ, requires upholding TRUTH, at whatever it costs us – whether it is slander, persecution by our own people, or fleshly death. (Matt 5:10; John 15:18; 2 Cor 12:10; 2 Tim 3:2) Those too cowardly to speak for Truth, do not have a pleasant spiritual outcome. “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.” Rev 22:12-15 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev 21:8

"Self-professed", what an ignorant thing to say. Do God's anointed servants need the approval of men before they profess that they are anointed? Gal 1:10 I suppose in the organization, that is how it is. I know of anointed ones who were discouraged by the elder body to partake of the emblems. I know of one who quit partaking because of elder pressure against them. (Rev 13:5-7) I really don't care what anyone wants to believe about myself. It matters most, what Jesus Christ sees as my servitude toward him and God. I do care that JWs put the Truth of Christ, before the counterfeit "truth" of a wicked slave/Harlot, and the organization it directs. (Matt 24:48-51; Rev 13:11-17; 16:13-16)

Tell me where in God's Word, it says setting dates for Armageddon is acceptable. Tell me where in God's Word, men's doctrine trumps the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Where do the scriptures say, it's okay to "lead my people astray" with delusions from the minds of men. Jer 23:32 Tell me where it is acceptable by God and Christ to call a teaching, "truth" when time proves it to be a lie. "False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. 3 In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!" 2 Pet 2:1-3

Will the "world to come" preach the doctrine of men? Will the "world to come" have room for falsehoods as evident in the video? Did you even listen to the video? Only the blameless and upright will be found in the Kingdom of God - those who do not lead men, to believe their false prophesy. If you think otherwise, what god do you worship? Ps 119:1

So, he was disappointed, because his impetuous assumptions made in the name of God, failed. Never mind those who suffered because of his lying doctrine. (Matt 15:9) And he is termed a "faithful brother", because he didn't leave the organization? While those who saw the folly of his teachings when they failed, and left the organization perhaps without a house to live in and a job, are the unfaithful ones? The meaning of "truth" and "faithful" according to JWs, are not in line with God's Word. They are not in line with Jesus Christ's teachings. An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies. Prov 14:5

Your leaders who made predictions that were false?

I'm not alone at all, Derek. The true preaching work in the last days, before the Son of Man comes, is to "Israel", not the nation, but spiritual "Israel" who are the anointed ones. (Rom 9:6-8; Gal 4:26-28; 1 Pet 2:5,9,10; Isa 43:10) This is the scripture: Matt 10:23 "Jacob"/"Israel" will be restored outside of the organization of falsehoods. (Isa 10:20,21; Matt 17:11) You and all the anointed with JWs, are tolerating falsehoods. You are locked into the "empty philosophy", of a Harlot, believing that the organization belongs to God. (Col 2:8) You believe that without this organization, salvation is not possible. (Rev 13:4) This is the only organization that has the ability to "wage war against the saints", since only the WT knows what and who the genuine anointed are. (Rev 13:7) This is what I "preach" about, along with many others who see the truth. Rev 11:1-3

The "fantasy world" is where JWs reside. "A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of harlots squanders his wealth." Prov 29:3 What wealth do we need in these last days to receive salvation? Is it in the form of material riches? No, it is the richness of Truth that brings eternal life. (John 14:6; 2 Cor 8:9; James 2:5) Every failure of the GB to teach truth, makes one spiritually poor. There is no nourishment in a falsehood. (Matt 7:16) When the GB open their mouth and what they say proves to be false, guess what they do? They blame it on the one who IS Truth - Jesus Christ. "Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. " Wt 17/2 p. 26,27 This is what Jesus told us, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12,13 As the “Awake” article quoted in the video, mentions, “True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end of the world’, even announcing a specific date. Yet, nothing happened. The end did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing? Missing from such people were God’s truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them.” Awake 10/8/1968 Only a Harlot can state the above, in the light of her own false prophesies, and get away with it. “With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. 22 All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a fool stepping into a noose 23 till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.” Prov 7:21-23 Rev 18:4-8 The Last Harlot and Her Beast

Let’s see, in this video clip, seven Wt leaders, including Fred Franz and his crafty speech about it, promoted 1975 as the coming year for Armageddon. I wonder if these leaders were all purged from the organization. Certainly Franz wasn’t. If we look before that that time to the past prediction dates of Russel and Rutherford, I don’t see that they were "cleansed" from your organization either. But, you are speaking of those who followed their teachings, aren’t you. The leadership is exempt, but the people who must obey the leadership’s teachings are considered the culls if they realize that after all the failed dates of Armageddon, (and teachings needing “new light”) this organization is built on false promises. That seems rather unfair, don’t you think? Does God see the wisdom in those who reject falsehoods and the teachers who speak them, or those who continue to tolerate false promises and those who teach them, as you are doing? The Harlot in the last days is spiritually immoral, which means she pours into her cup, “wine” or teachings that are deceiving. To those whom she shares this cup of spiritual falsehoods, the target of blame falls on them when her lies don’t come true. She softens the sins she herself has committed with more false promises of “peace”. (Ezek 13:10-12; 1 Thess 5:3) This is how she deceives you, into drinking more of her wine. She instills fear and guilt and abuse, if you were to reject her wine – her teachings. Rev 17:1-5 I suggest you put down the Harlot’s cup, and sober up. Instead of looking at those who have left the organization as the culls, begin looking at your own leaders and their faults. God has NEVER condoned lies from the mouth of teachers that He would send. (John 8:44; Matt 24:4; 1 Tim 4:1) God has NEVER expected people to tolerate them. It is the wise ones, who know when to cleanse themselves of the organization’s lies. Why are you excusing your leaders for creating lies and then expecting you to accept them? Have you forgotten how many people can adversely be affected by one lie that they built their life around? Have you forgotten, that those who sold all of their goods to prepare for 1975, were commended by your leaders for doing so? I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. 5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. Ps 26:4,5

Someone on the exjw reddit forum put this video together and offered to share. With the help of the present GB, the debacle of 1975 has modern JWs left in the dark, about the truth surrounding its announcement as the date for Armageddon. This includes those JWs who have conveniently forgotten what that time period of teaching involved. Jer 23:16 (MSG) - A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: “Don’t listen to the sermons of the prophets. It’s all hot air. Lies, lies, and more lies. They make it all up. Not a word they speak comes from me. They preach their ‘Everything Will Turn Out Fine’ sermon to congregations with no taste for God, Their ‘Nothing Bad Will Ever Happen to You’ sermon to people who are set in their own ways." 1975 Convention Talks.mp4

“Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Rev 21:2 It is interesting how our past nagging questions we may have had as JWs over the years, resurface once we learn of the true understanding of God’s Word. I once asked an elder before a meeting, if he could explain Rev 21:2. How would the holy city, a “heavenly” organization of God, Jesus, the angels and the 144,000, come down to earth from heaven? It is taught that not even Jesus will return to the earth after Armageddon, and certainly not the “144,000” anointed, sealed in heaven. (Rev 14:1) (Gen 28:12; John 1:51; Heb 1:6; 9:28) The elder could only tell me that the earth and its inhabitants would be a recipient of its heavenly blessings, but not that “New Jerusalem”, the “heavenly organization”, would exist on the earth. I understand now that this discrepancy was an early subconscious crack developing in in my spiritual cache of Wt. teachings, that I had once come to trust. (Ezek 13:3,5,7) The truth about this scripture was purposefully stifled, to make room for the lie. That lie is the organization; a counterfeit “great mountain”, that would survive Armageddon and be the new “land” in the Kingdom. Down to today, the organization is said to be the nucleus, the “new earth” that had its beginning in 1919. It is important to remember, that 1919 carried with it, a large bag of rejected and forgotten doctrine that would surprise JWs today…if, they researched their history. They may even realize that the promotion of their “house of pure worship” as beginning in that year, is an outrageous lie. (Isa 65:17-19; 2 Pet 3:7,13; Ps 37:10,29; 2 Cor 5:17; Rev 21:1,2; 19:7,8) This inhabited “land”, together with its buildings and congregations, is taught to be God’s house where JWs reside in a spiritual paradise. (2 Kings 17:9-12; Isa 46:5) (Ezek 13:10; 1 Thess 5:3) Micah 4:1,2 is used to support the organization’s lie: “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the Lord’s house ( The Greek word means “dwelling habitation, temple”) Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it. 2 Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” In John 14:4,23 Jesus said, “In My Father’s house are many dwellings; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” The dwellings that Jesus had in mind were not in the form of an earthly organization 2,000 years into the future. If God questioned David’s desire to build Him a house, why would He desire earthly habitations today? (2 Sam 7:6,7) “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our dwelling place with him.” Throughout the history of God’s people under covenant, the “dwelling”/house of God had always been the tabernacle/tent and the temple. That dwelling place of Spirit changed with the coming of Jesus, from the earthly, physical temple, to a temple built with “living stones”. (Acts 7:48,49; John 2:19-21; 1 Pet 2:5,6; Eph 2:19-22) “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Cor 3:16 At the rejection of His Son, God made it vividly clear of His rejection, of a house that had become filled with blasphemy. The curtain enclosing the Most Holy, the sacred abode of God, was torn apart at the time of Jesus’ death. (John 8:40; Matt 21:37-45; 27:50,51) Jesus predicted the end of God’s promise made with Israel as a nation, stating that what the Jewish leaders had self-righteously ‘created’, would no longer have any connection with the Father. (Ezek 8:6; Jer 22:5; Matt 24:2; Mar 7:6,7; Matt 21:43,42; 23:37,38) “Listen carefully: your house is being left to you desolate [completely abandoned by God and destitute of His protection]!” Matt 23:38 AMP Mount Zion was a reference to the city and temple of Jerusalem. The nation of Israel, God’s “land” was referred to as “Daughter Zion”. (Isaiah 8:18; Psalm 74:2; Jer 3:14) (Zech 9:9) Under the New Covenant, a spiritual mountain called “New Jerusalem” - the Temple and House of God - was established on the Body of Christ. (John 4:21-24; Gal 4:22-26,28, 31; Heb 8:6; 1 Cor 12:27; 3:16) This did not require buildings or any organizational efforts by men, since as Jesus told his foundation stones of God’s House, it was he and his Spirit, who would prepare THEM as “dwelling places”, in his Father’s House. (John 14:7; 1 Cor 6:19; Eph 2:10; Phil 1:6; Heb 3:6; 13:20,21; Col 1:19) “Daughter Zion” became a new promise, a “new creation”, and God’s dwelling place in Spirit. The selection of a new spiritual priesthood to serve God under Jesus their High Priest, had begun. (1 Pet 2:5; Rev 5:9,10) Over the following 2,000 years, God would specifically choose individuals to become His spiritual dwelling - His inhabited “land’ and “holy city”. (Rev 14:1) These individuals are a household of priests/kings, prepared as the Bride of Christ. ( 1 John 2:27; 1 Cor 3:9; 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 2:20; Eph 5:23-27,30,32) It was not until this Temple was reaching completion that a counterfeit “Zion” appeared, kindled by the desire of false prophets, who had left their covenant in Christ. (Zech 5:5-11; Isa 28:15; Prov 5:3,4; 1 Cor 6:15,16; 1 Tim 4:1; Rev 8:10,11;13:11; 17:1-3,5) To clarify, the organization has split the definition of Zion into two parts. One is strictly a “heavenly organization”, where the 144,000 are said to reside. The other, is the earthly organization that sails through Armageddon and keeps building its “house”/houses, while apparently receiving direction through Holy Spirit. One priesthood will reign in heaven, while a counterfeit “priesthood” in the elder body, will reign as princes on the earth; unless this doctrine changes with “new light”, once the Harlot/governing leaders are removed. (Rev 17:12,13,15-18) Always, what we visually see with our eyes, can hold more instant gratification than what we must “see” spiritually. (1 Cor 2:14) The concept of God’s House as the organization, has developed using visual appeal, and seems to be the mountain of Micah 4:1,2 to be established in the last days. However, within this blasphemous house, God’s authentic “house” of “living stones” has accepted the seemingly indestructible, mighty, yet counterfeit mountain…as belonging to God, and vital for their salvation. (Isa 46:3-5; 57:13) They have forgotten that they are specifically, the dwelling, “land”, home, of God’s Spirit. (2 Cor 6:14-18; 1 Cor 3:9) As a result, they have no idea of how their role would fulfill Rev 21:2. All this confusion of what and who comprise the House of God, is accomplished at the determined hand of Satan. (Luke 22:31; Matt 24:3-5.21-25; 1 Pet 5:8; Col 2:8; Rev 13:1,2,6,7,10; 12:3,4) Without being fully cognizant of their role as God’s House, they have easily slipped into idolatry by putting their hope in what men have created. (Rom 1:25; Rev 13: 4,11,12) The promise of salvation through the earthly organization, is chosen over their sole salvation in Christ; and chosen over his promised Bride/Holy City coming down out of heaven to be with mankind. (Isa 62:5; Rev 3:12; 21:9,10) Yes, the dwelling/House of God will be on the earth, as well as in heaven. The anointed angel messengers will serve Jesus as the “new creation” – both human and spirit. (Ps 37:11,29; 2 Cor 5:17; 1 Cor 15:44; 1 Pet 1:23; Heb 12:22,23) “And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.” Rev 21:3 The early tabernacle was a mobile dwelling of God’s Spirit. (1 Chron 17:5) How fitting that God returns to His first plan to be with His people, before men desired to build Him a temple. (Acts 7:48-50) In Christ, His tabernacle/temple has become a mobile, spiritual dwelling, through the presence of His anointed, sealed priesthood on earth and in heaven, serving with Jesus Christ. As priests, they are to teach the people God’s laws. (Ezek 44:23; Mal 2:7) Could they fulfill this requirement of teaching, if they never stepped foot on the earth to be among God’s children? (Isa 66:7-11; Rev 22:17) Micah specifies this: “For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” The counterfeit priesthood/elder body teach by the corrupt doctrine and laws of men, and who judge in unrighteousness, blasphemy, and in partiality. (Jer 8:8; Ps 35:19,20; 2 Thess 2:3,4,9-12; Rev 13:5,6) There will be no room in the Kingdom of God for falsehoods spoken by men, for their idolatry and rejection of God’s Temple. (Zech 8:3; Rev 14:1,4,5;22:14,15) There will be no more counterfeit pursuits created by Satan to destroy the New Covenant in Jesus Christ, and the faithful members of his Body. (Rev 19:20; 20:9,10; 1 Cor 15:24-26) In 1952, the organization stated that if a religion is not teaching God’s will accurately, then its members are “missing the mark”, regardless of how sincerely they may conform to the organization’s will. It used Matt 7:23 to explain that the contrary desires of persons or organizations are lawlessness in God’s sight. The “man of lawlessness” raises itself up in the Temple of God by “sitting”/ruling over the anointed priesthood. It is the composite “Gentile” elder body that willingly “acts” as priests. (Dan 11:31; Matt 24:15; Rev 13:1)( 2 Chron 13:9;23:6,7) What would the early writers of this 68 year-old article think, if they could perceive that their words would eventually point to their own organization as the source of “lawlessness” in the last days? Would they realize that this organization is a “rebellious house”, soon to be left desolate? (2 Thess 2:3,4; Matt 5:13; Rev 11:1,2;Matt 7:24-27; Rev 8:8) Ezek 12:1,2 - The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 13 describes the false divinations uttered by the prophets of Israel, as a “flimsy wall” of failed predictions, repeatedly “whitewashed” amid promises of peace. (Ezek 13:10,15,16; 1 Thess 5:3) As a sign to the people, Ezekiel was told to dig through a wall, and take his belongings with him. (Ezek 12:1-6) Pearl Doxsey explains: When we ourselves "bore a hole" in the "wall" we once trusted in, this is the exact "hole" we leave through, just as Ezekiel did. Our minds and hearts abandon the wicked "city" which exists within the confines of those teachings. The very "hole" we have dug away, is the one our mind and heart "leaves" through. The "hole" in the "wall" is the lie we have discovered, and the very hole which frees us, and provides our route of escape. Ezekiel leaves in "darkness", because this is how spirit reveals these things to us, and where our private decisions and conviction are conceived (Matt 10:26-28). The more we dig (as Ezekiel did), the flimsier that wall becomes. If we never dig, we stay imprisoned inside falsehood. Remember too, the first things Ezekiel saw, were the "elders" inside the Temple (only the priests belong in there --'disgusting thing in holy place' –(Mark 13:14; 2 Chron 23:6; 13:9; Num 3:10) and their disgusting images/idols (Ezek 8:3,5,6,9-11). These events are prophesied for the end as well (Rev 13:14,8; 2 Thess 2:4; Dan 5:23; Rev 11:2; Matt 24:15; Dan 9:26,27). The "holy place/holy ones/holy city" in the time of the end, are the anointed priests (1 Cor 3:16; 1 Pet 2:9,5; Rev 5:10; Eph 2:21,22). These are being trampled and displaced by the trespassing Gentiles, whose image is being worshiped by all God's people (Dan 10:14; 11:31-39,45; 12:7-13; Rev 13:7,8) Pearl Doxsey However, in the last days… “the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. 3 Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. 5 Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord.” Isa 2:2-5 https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/ - Pearl Doxsey The Destroyer and his Family Jezebel Wall/Christ’s Side Jacob’s Ladder - http://jacobsladder-obadiah.blogspot.com/)

@Lifeswaterfree, I like your avatar, if that is the proper terminology. He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent meto heal the broken-hearted to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” “These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” Matt 10:5-8 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Gal 5:1 Just this morning I was thinking how Satan could devise a spiritual “yoke of slavery” that appears not as captivity, but as one of freedom, to worship as a person chooses. (Ezek 13:10; 1 Thess 5:3; 2 Pet 2:17-19) The two words, captivity and freedom contradict each other; but, Satan uses both when they serve to advance his own "kingdom interests". (Luke 4:5-7; Dan 9;26,27;Dan 11:32; Matt 24:24; Rev 12:15; 13:5,11,12) He would use his resources at hand – putting his “head” ministers at the helm to fight for this apparent right, via the world’s court systems. (2 Cor 11:13,-15; Rev 13:1,11;17:7,9) Yet, when we look at the example of Jesus, this course of action in no way is in imitation of his path, or that of his followers. (John 18:36) But, Satan’s ministers have been successful in seducing the anointed with the unsuspecting bait of lies. (Amos 3:4,5; Mark 13:22; Rev 2:20-23) We all know this takes money, that those within his trap, would provide. The organization would need more individuals to come on board, supporting the “fight” to keep up the appearance of spiritual freedom. So, a preaching work was developed, with tantalizing offers of truth. This would be spearheaded by a succession of leadership; who progressively pollute the pure waters of Christ’s truth, until barely a morsel of pure truth is left. (Ezek 34:17-19; Rev 8:10-11; 16:13-16) These poisoned waters would no longer be “free” to receive, or pure as holding the promise of eternal life; but would come with requirements formulated by the doctrine of men. (Jer 2:13; John 4:10; 1 John 3:3; Rev 22:1) These are debased rules of an organization that even many of their “neighbors” would not practice. (Ezek 22:4,5,23-29) Yet, this religion can brag triumphantly of its wicked accomplishments - causing spiritual bloodshed through disfellowshipping, hiding child abuse, dividing families, and trampling the “saints” with blasphemy. (Mar 13:5-8,14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3) “How you hate honest judges! How you despise people who tell the truth! 11 You trample the poor, stealing their grain through taxes and unfair rent. Therefore, though you build beautiful stone houses, you will never live in them. Though you plant lush vineyards, you will never drink wine from them. 12 For I know the vast number of your sins and the depth of your rebellions. You oppress good people by taking bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.” Amos 5:10-12 The message that the kingdom of God has come near, is again being pronounced to the lost sheep of “Israel” today, God’s people under covenant. (Jer 51:6; Matt 10:23; Rev 18:4-8) They have accepted the yoke of slavery through dedication to an organization; but this time, joining them are “Gentiles” who also carry that yoke, the “dedication” to an earthly entity – bearing the dedication mark of an idol. (Rev 13:2,8,16-18) I am amazed at the efficiency of Satan’s diabolical trap, to woo God’s people with the promised “freedom” of truth, while at the same time, able to slide a yoke of blindness upon their shoulders that they didn’t “see” coming. I am astounded that a JW can believe he or she lives the “best life ever”, while rejecting the only source of freedom we have, which is in Jesus Christ. (Matt 11:28; John 10:4,5,9,10) You and I both know that receiving life’s water free, as your avatar states, is not possible in the organization. Only those of us who have rejected the yoke of slavery devised by the wicked intentions of Satan, understand what taking in Christ’s living water freely, truly means. Just the thought that voluntary donations are needed to support “Jehovah’s (already rich) organization”, should be a warning flag easy to see. But, to those who are enamored by what the riches of this world can accomplish in religion, they cannot perceive the truth behind Jesus’ teaching - that one cannot serve both God and money. (Mat 6:24) They don’t hear the trumpet call to leave Wt. sins behind. (Amos 3:6,9,10) They will continue to serve the needs of men, while the “banner” of truth raised by God, will draw the righteous hearted, of whom many are already “leaving” the apostate city. (Ps 60:4; Isa 11:10-12; Joel 3:18-21; Matt 22:8-10; Rev 18:4-8) “Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. 15 Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people.” Amos 5:14,15 https://pearl-anillustration.blogspot.com/

I’m not saying that we are not responsible for paying our taxes. (By the way, “Jehovah’s organization” has found a way to avoid paying taxes) Jesus was speaking of our need to separate riches of this world with spiritual riches that he offered in his teachings. Those are the important treasures, which we are to build upon. I am saying that Jesus was preaching new wine, to be put in new wine skins. (Col 2:2; Matt 9:17) But, the Wt. has proven that they prefer "old wine", where they can build their kingdom in this world ruled by Satan. (Luke 5:39; 4:5-7) “It is not that there may be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality” 2 Cor 8:13 You are telling me that your GB practice financial equality among JWs. That they ensure their abundance is distributed to every JW? Not possible, is it. They wouldn't allow it, would they. Your kingdom halls may be built as grass huts or with chandeliers hanging in their foyers as I have seen, according to the financial ability of the congregation. Conveniently, all are now owned by the organization; a very prosperous move by your GB. What your leadership does for its offices and assembly gathering places, are far from modest. I'm sure a tour of Bethel will open your eyes...or not. What's more important, how clean your buildings are, or how truthful your teachings are; today, yesterday and decades in the past? Jesus said, those whom he sends must produce "fruit that lasts" - it stays, never to rot, never to be tossed away. Do you understand this? It is another teaching of Jesus, that your GB don't seem to recognize. (Matt 23:25-28; John 15:16) Because your leadership has built its own "temple"/organization, and has rejected God's authentic "house of prayer" built with "living stones", your entire organization is an idol, prophesied to "make war" with the "saints". (Rev 13:4,7,8) You asked what my "story" is. My testimony about the Temple “living stones”, (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16) the blasphemy and falsehoods of the organization, (2 Thess 2,4; Rev 11:1,2; 13:1,2) and its wicked slave (Matt 24:48-51; Rev 13:11,12), is why the organization considers me an apostate. It has nothing to do with sinning against the Father or Jesus Christ; but everything to do with exposing Wt’s lies, which is the location of the "man of lawlessness" that "sits"/rules/stands where it does not belong...in God's Temple. (Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3,7) So, if knowing that I am an apostate on those grounds, causes you to make your decision to "shun" either I or @Srecko Sostar for his reasons, what a shallow and weak decision it is. We either love the light of truth in Christ and keep seeking it, or we gravitate to darkness, where lies about the Father, the Son, and His dwelling in Spirit, are told. (John 3:19; 2 Thess 2:9-12) https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com/

"Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” 23 But detecting their craftiness, He said to them, 24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” “Caesar’s,” they said. 25 “Well then,” He told them, “give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.” Luke 20:22-25 Did Jesus say, take half of that coin and give it to God? No. It had Caesar’s name on it, not God’s. Shouldn’t this tell us that money is not needed to worship God “in spirit and truth”? (John 4:23,24) Any money that Jesus and the disciples had, was given to those in need – the poor. Can your organization let go of all of its riches and give them to the poor? (Matt 19:21; Luke 12:33) After Jesus left the earth, the congregations shared everything, they supported one another. This is our template to go by. If you had read the post link, you may have understood. We convince ourselves that we need money for religious purposes, when we are told and believe leaders of a religious organization cannot feed us spiritual food without it. They cannot spread their version of “truth”. (Matt 23:15) “There is more money going out, than coming in”, GB Stephen Lett stated. This is manipulation, and we know it worked. People were changing their meager budgets to give to men who were already money-rich. All involved at the top, have this insatiable drive to build and expand on, their fleshly desires. (Matt 19:21-24) They are now selling kingdom halls to free up money for larger projects. The development of the organization is the same development as all other religious organizations. So, what sets your religions apart? Nothing, really; expect the anointed trapped within. (Rev 20:7-9) It tell lies also, just as other religious do. Money is required to keep religious leadership’s power and authority stable over the “flock”; no matter if it is the Catholic church, or the Mormon church, or the Wt. organization. The end result, is power to manipulate another person’s spiritual well-being. The organization has always thrown up the example of the Catholic church in the faces of its members, expounding on its riches. Well, when it comes to its own riches, they are dead quiet about it. There is no transparency at the top. What is the distinction between pure worship and false worship? Pure worship does not require money. The Temple of God, the dwelling of His Spirit, does not need riches to promote “spirit and truth”. (1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) It does not need a physical, literal mountain to worship at. That was Jesus’ point when talking to woman at the well. A literal mountain is seen from a distance. Wt has built many of them, for the world to see, with riches procured from those who have fallen for their deception. (Matt 24:24; 2 Pet 1:16; 2:2) And the organization glorifies its works that they have ‘collected’ in these endeavors. (Luke 4:5-7) Wouldn’t you agree that other religions have been successful at that also? Jesus was saying that building organized mountains, are not the way to worship God. Truth in Christ is light, that radiates outwardly from within. (Luke 6:45) He told those whom HE would send, that they would be a lamp shining in a dark place, just as he was the light of the world. (Matt 5:14-16; John 1:4,5; 13:20) As the source of living water, his words were enough for us to recognize truth and he did not charge money to receive it. He didn’t ask for donations. If your leaders were truly part of the vine of Christ, they would not expect you to give money for it either. (John 15:1-6; 7:38) Riches are not necessary to produce his truth. Can your organization sell all of its riches and give them to the poor? (Matt 19:21) It has become “treasure” for all who are part of it. It is their desire of the eyes, so much so, that thousands travel many miles to flock to its ornate buildings. You had a source of spiritual riches when knowing the two anointed ones you spoke about. Sadly, they most likely didn’t understand the light of truth was in themselves, since they bought their spiritual provision from a false prophet. (Matt 25:1-13;;Rev 13:11,12,15-17) They were captivated by “empty philosophy” just as you are. (Col 2:8; 1 Tim 4:1; Rev 13:10; 16:13-16) God’s Spirit dwelled within their heart – the spirit of truth, and His laws were written within it. (Rom 5:5; 1 John 2:27; Heb 10:16) Instead, they submitted to the corrupt rulership of an organization built with literal riches. In your organization, the “living stones” of the Temple are not allowed to shed their “light” God gave them in Spirit, since it would conflict with the false light from your evil slave. (Rev 8:10,11) Each anointed one, is a “teacher” of the law fulfilled in Christ. Yet, those who are subservient to an evil slave are restricted from teaching Christ’s truths. (Mal 2:7; 1 Pet 2:5,9) “Don’t collect for yourselves treasures (“or valuables”) on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But collect for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matt 6:19-21 Does your organization adhere to this teaching of Jesus? Or, does it tell only its members not to do this? I speak of both the Father and the Son. I listen to the words of Christ, as the Father told us to. (Matt 17:5) Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would ask him, and he would give you living water.” John 4:10 John 7:37,38 - On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to me and drink! 38 The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.” “Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost! 2 Why do you spend money on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods. 3 Pay attention and come to Me; listen, so that you will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the promises assured to David. 4 Since I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples, 5 so you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you.” Isa 55:1-5

By teaching that an organization, filled with corruption, in Satan's world will bring JWs salvation, Jesus as the only Way, Truth, and Life, has become less important. (John 14:6; 4:21-24) God's Temple priesthood has become less important. (Matt 16:18) God's Temple has no meaning, but the organization...JWs cannot live without. That's just the beginning of your organization's full rejection of Christ's teachings. By looking to the brainstorm of men, your leaders have paved the way for going beyond the teachings of Christ. "Come to Jehovah's organization for salvation" Watchtower 1981 Nov 15 p.212 "Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.” Acts 4:12 "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen." Rom 1:25

Firstly, you may want to consider this quote from God’s Kingdom Rules! p. 195-196, and then remember repetitive "begging" for money by your leaders. Jehovah’s people do not beg for money. They do not pass collection plates or send out letters of solicitation. Neither do they use bingo, bazaars, or raffles to raise money. They hold to what the Watch Tower long ago said: “We have never considered it proper to solicit money for the Lord’s cause, after the common custom . . . It is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our Lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.”* The Watch Tower, August 1, 1899, page 201. Secondly, and in relationship to this post, many who were told that the food boxes came from “Jehovah”, were also told to think about thanking him by donating to the organization. These are food boxes generally provided for people with little money. Why would “donating” even be mentioned? Thirdly, you can see my full answer here:

That, is an ingenious idea!

2 John 1:9 – “Anyone who does not remain in Christ’s teaching but goes beyond it, does not have God. The one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.” I like this scripture, because it concentrates on Christ’s teachings, not the doctrines of men. There is a lot said about doctrine that deviates from the teachings of Christ. His teachings are sound doctrine, which the apostles stressed for us to adhere to. “Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause dissensions and obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have learned. Avoid them, 18 for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.” Rom 16:17,18 “If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness, he is conceited, understanding nothing, but has a sick interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.” 1 Tim 6:4,5 “For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.” 2 Tim 4:3 So, every time the organization’s leadership uses Prov 4:18 to cover failed doctrine that had no light to begin with, it cannot be said that Holy Spirit played a part in its development, from teaching's beginning to what it has changed into now. You have an extensive list of doctrine outside of the teachings of Christ. The generation teaching is just one of them. The "faithful slave" is another. “Beliefs Clarified” does not show the genius of God, Emma. It shows the foolishness of men, who choose to remain in darkness. "But the person without the Spirit does not receive what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually."

"But if that wicked slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and starts to beat his fellow slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt 24:48-51

Really Anna? Just as “trampling” is symbolic for the dominating power of the elder body over the anointed priesthood/Temple, “beating” is also symbolic; as well as the “killing”/disfellowshipping committed by your leadership. (Dan 8:13; Rev 11:1,2) Let’s see…the question should be, why are all anointed who stand up and give testimony of Christ, are “beaten” and subsequently, “killed”? I think you know the partial answer. You GB won’t have any “despicable apostates” in their midst. NWT: “You heard that it was said to those of ancient times: ‘You must not murder, but whoever commits a murder will be accountable to the court of justice.’ 22 However, I say to you that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; and whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·henʹna.” Matt 5:21-22 My goodness, did Mr. Morris ever play into that one! The other reason, is that those disfellowshipped for rejecting the organization, and testify about the Christ and his Temple, are in fact, walking in his spiritual path of persecution. He suffered at that hands of his own people, as do the anointed who follow his example. “You are blessed when they insult and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me.” Matt 5:11

God out of graciousness allowed Solomon to build Him a temple. And what did all of those riches lead to, but Solomon's downfall. Yet, God's prophetic words to David were not about Solomon, but about Jesus Christ building God's spiritual Temple. But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: 5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ “‘The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 2 Sam 7:5-7,11b-13 Do you really think that God meant that the organization would be the house He is speaking of? Something greater than Solomon is here, and it is not your GB. Luke 11:31 It doesn't matter if you think the anointed women were "active" in your preaching work. What matters is if they ever listened to their Head, Jesus Christ over the Head of your organization. (Rev 2:2-5; 3:18)

Oh Anna. Mormons preach, Seventh Day Adventists preach, Baptists preach. Many people preach either their church's doctrines or simply about Jesus Christ. What does it matter if when you preach, you are telling a lie? What does it matter if your preaching work rejects God’s Temple that JWs should understand and look to, yet you bolster an earthly organization instead? You yourself, have been hesitant with 1914, a foundation teaching of your leadership. - a "core" teaching that has changed as the weather changes. You know full well what your past leadership has taught. Yet, you support them with your continual preaching work of an organization based on falsehood. This is hypocrisy! And it is why I quit preaching for the organization and began preaching for Jesus Christ. (Rev 11:1-3) The priesthood/Body has many different gifts that lay untapped in the organization. ( 1 Cor 12:4,7-11,14,15,20,21,25,27,18) Don’t include the elder body in this, the large majority of which are not the anointed Household of God. (Eph 2:20-22) Your “steward”/administrator seems to think that the role of a house manager is all-encompassing. Does a manager of a house do the dishes, wash the clothes, pay the bills, run the errands, cook and bake all the dinners for the occupants? Or, does he “oversee” all that is produced, and then distribute from every offering the servants of the house provide, those offerings that will contribute to the health and well-being of all within the house? It’s like a steward of a ship, bringing food to a passenger, that the steward did not cook. In its most simple form, your GB have decided they are to do all of it. They reject offerings of truth from God’s priests, and if any priest rejects their food, their falsehoods, they are beaten down – disfellowshipped. (Matt 24:48-51; Rev 13:11,12;15) So, basically your GB leadership has created its own counterfeit house (organization) and their way of running is not based whatsoever on Christ's teachings. (Luke 22:25-27) A true “faithful and discreet slave” that is chosen as the house manager under Christ – and IN God’s Temple, spiritual House, would not beat his fellow slaves for providing food for the house! This is why so many anointed have been disfellowshipped over the years. It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Mark 13:34 Who assigns the tasks? The GB, or Jesus? Well, in your organization, it is the GB. Now, don't you think every anointed priest is aware of the task Jesus has assigned to them? Should someone else decide what their task is to be? A genuine faithful steward would discern whether the house servants offer Truth, and he would distribute it to all; because the members of the anointed Body SHOULD all speak truth under the spirit of Christ. (1 Cor 12:13; Eph 4:25) We don't find that at all in your organization. The Master’s belongings that the steward watches over, are the “true riches” (Holy Spirit) from each servant of the Master, that should be “managed” properly.( Luke 16:1,2,10-12) Each gift given to the servants of the Master cannot be ignored. They are vital to the life of the members and the Body. (1 Cor 12:25,26) All spiritual food offered to others from those Jesus sends, is to be in harmony with the foundation teachings of the Temple, not those of an organization. This, your GB cannot and will not do. They are the “wasteful steward”. They will give an accounting for their wastefulness; their rejection of not only the gifts offered by the anointed Body, but their rejection of the Body itself. And, since the Body is one in Christ, they have rejected Christ as well, even though you may mention the name, Jesus. (Mark 13:22;2 Cor 11:4) Their greed for power and authority must be preserved, at all costs. So, they have appointed their own body, their own chosen priests to run your organization, who do their bidding. Do you see the dichotomy? The Temple of God is to stand on its own, as Zion. But, your organization calls itself Zion. Two mountains then, are at war in the last days - a counterfeit “mountainlike organization” which tramples those of Daughter Zion; against those who reconnect with the Temple of God by leaving the counterfeit, repenting of their sins to an idol, and preach the foundation Truth of Jesus and the apostles. (Isa 52:1-3; Rev 2:26-29; 2:1-5; Zech 4:6,7; Rev 8:8,9) "Wasteful Steward" - https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/09/luke161-15.html
