Witness

Some things are pretty obvious; and I don't think I've ever made the claim that I have it all figured out. 🙂 But as time goes on, the understanding of the scrolls that Jesus opened by breaking their seal (Dan 12:4; Rev 22:10,12; 6:1-17; 8:1), is given to his messengers to understand. (Rev 1:1; 11:3,4; Col 1:26) That continual understanding is "shared" (Isa 29:18)...until the end. (1 Cor 13:10; Prov 4:18; 2 Pet 1:19) It's message is delivered by the messengers. (Rev 14:6-12; 18:4-8)

I noticed you are confused by what I said, @Arauna. Both the "thousand years" at Rev 20:2,7 and the "one hour" in Rev 17:12 are spans of time. The "one hour" is symbolic, obviously; and so is the "thousand years". We can't take either one of them literally in a symbolic book of "signs". Rev 1:1- The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John "signify" - "to give a sign".

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast." Rev 17:12 Using your theory, "one hour" in this scripture is a literal one hour. This is the "eighth king" in control...for one literal hour? Even the Wt. doesn't believe that.

A demon appearing as an angel of light is someone who has the uncanny ability to make false predictions of Armageddon as believable; and when the prediction fails, he has the uncanny ability to lead his listeners into believing another false prediction. He has the uncanny ability to play with people’s lives, using false promises and the doctrine of men; he can acquire their money and free labor to build a comfortable place to live for himself, and then tell them that the organization he has built, is the path to salvation. He also has an amazing, horrific ability to put the blame for false teachings on Jesus Christ. Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. Wt 2026/2/17 John 15:4 - "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. " The evidence is clear that the GB is not part of the vine of Christ; otherwise they would not be leading their "sheep" down the wrong path, over and over again. John 15:16 - "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. “Look here, you rich men, now is the time to cry and groan with anguished grief because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. 2 Your wealth is even now rotting away, and your fine clothes are becoming mere moth-eaten rags. 3 The value of your gold and silver is dropping fast, yet it will stand as evidence against you and eat your flesh like fire. That is what you have stored up for yourselves to receive on that coming day of judgment. 4 For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. Their cries have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5 You have spent your years here on earth having fun, satisfying your every whim, and now your fat hearts are ready for the slaughter. 6 You have condemned and killed good men who had no power to defend themselves against you.” James 5

How can a person have an “elastic" face and still show signs of a stroke?

I've never heard that his facial expressions are the result of a disability. And, I've never made fun of him because of it. I do believe that part of his extreme use of facial expressions is because he was raised by parents who were deaf. I was merely bringing out by posting the video that he can choose to talk without such "elastic" (as Arauna brought) mannerisms.

Which means, an elder cannot read the heart of a person, yet can still decide that God deems that one as spiritually dead. Which also indicates that the elders who make such a judgment, have their consciences seared. God's words tells us that it is called, wearing a "breastplate of iron". Rev 9:1-4,9

So, are you saying that three elders sitting in on a judicial meeting who give the verdict upon a JWs that he is disfellowshipped - “dead in Jehovah's eyes" – are all asses? John 16:2; Rev 13:15 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” Matt 7:2 John 12:48 – “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.” Lett ignored the words of Jesus about children.

Again, God’s word in Christ about children should have been Lett’s guidelines; but instead, he leaned on his own understanding. The law of God is fulfilled in Jesus’ words, fulfilled in love. It is Lett who has not conscience. 1 Tim 4:1,2

It appears the excuse is made in favor of what Lett said. If the enemy is identified, caution is taken against it. GB member A. Morris gave a vivid example with a match of what happens to “Jehovah’s enemies”. Lett identified the enemy as babies. Put the two expressions together and what do you have? He set the stage for disaster because of not considering how powerful his words could have, on any one of his listeners…from the removal of love shown in the family setting toward a baby or young child, to what this woman committed. I know of a woman who was raised as a JW and who suffered severe abuse by her mother - beat with a 2x4 regularly, and screamed at after each meeting simply because a little girl could not live up to her mother's extreme standards. Her mother was well liked, well respected in the organization. People like her mother would take Lett’s words to heart, and most likely cause further damage to her already damaged daughter...that lasts a lifetime. By the way, it has been brought out that the woman who killed her baby had a good rapport with all in her congregation. As far as her mental instability, are you aware of the high count of depression that runs through the organization? The high count of drug use to help curb the depression? Have you thought of the woman's Ecuadorian background of historic religious beliefs? What about JWs in Africa coming out of their own ancient understanding of evil, and how to attack it? Combined with a strong cultural background of religious influence, the GB’s words are like fire that can destroy a forest in an instant. God’s word in Christ about children should have been Lett’s guidelines; but instead, he leaned on his own understanding. The law of God is fulfilled in Jesus’ words, fulfilled in love. "Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law" Rom 13:10 He disregarded what a mother would feel by the use of his words. He showed no love to his neighbor. “Lawlessness” develops from a lack of love, appreciation for, and obedience to, Jesus’ teachings. It appears that most all of you choose the words of men, over the words of Jesus. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. Matt 24:12

That is an added reason to put coals on the heads of those who judge. He has complete control of his facial movements, when he cares to exercise it. At about the 2:15-18 minute mark. “Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. 4 Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. 5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human [f]race. 8 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way ” James 3 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.’ 11 “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. 12 Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.” Zech 7 These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace; 17 Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ Says the Lord.” Zech 8 "When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world ." (John 16:21) "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10). If we are told that a baby is an enemy of God, we back away from it; even “despise” its existence. The Greek word means, “disdain, think little or nothing of”. We resist imparting any love or compassion to the baby, which otherwise would naturally occur. Does God and Jesus really consider all babies born in the world, their enemies? We were all born in the sin of Adam. If S. Lett was a wise man and perceived beforehand what devastation his announcement around the word could possibly have, would he in all godly wisdom go through with such an announcement? Was he thinking of the flock, or what he may truly feel in his heart? He has no children of his own. He refused to help a good friend from the past who reached out to him when his daughter suffered abuse in the congregation. Lett said to 'leave it in Jehovah's hands' - this man, who had the power to do something about it. “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 He spoke deadly poison in the convention, and we literally have witnessed its deadly effects. I see everyone making excuses for his words, instead of showing consideration on how his poison affected one of your “sisters”, who took the life of her baby because of what she heard from the mouth of her spiritual leader.

You must be thinking that I should "forgive" GB Lett for his error in calling babies "little enemies of God". You presented a quote from your magazine earlier saying that the GB imitate Jesus Christ; so which is it? Does he imitate Jesus with those words, or not? He is a leader of millions of people, and whatever he teaches, people believe comes from Jesus Christ. One woman has killed her baby because of his words. Will the father forgive Lett? We are seeing already the ramifications of his lie. Every day, the elder body disfellowships individuals who stand up to false teachings, similar to what S. Lett stated in the convention. The scripture you quoted applies to the anointed who have no role in the organization; but elders not anointed have been given the authority to "kill" any who disagree with Lett, Herd, Morris, Cook, Jackson, Splane, Sanderson, and Losch. (John 16:2; Rev 13:15) There is no forgiveness exercised by the eight of them - only judgment decreed on those who disagree their self-appointed authority and teachings that cause the ruin of millions. Matt 24:48-51. Who are they to judge someone else's servant?

Well, there will probably more incidences like this one in the future ,resulting from Lett's pure evil stupidity. https://avoidjw.org/world/ecuador-jw-woman-locked-between-silence-murder-baby/

Really! Are you serious? Are you joking about God's word, which would be mocking God? I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! 9 As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him! Gal 1:6-9 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound[a] words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 1 Tim 6:3-5

When Simon denied Jesus Christ, was he repentant? “Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.” Luke 22:61,62 Most importantly, had he received an anointing yet? No. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.” 1 John 2:20 Do you really think the "anointed" GB weeps and loses sleep over their failures in doctrine and predictions? Do they ever recall to mind what Jesus said? “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit.” “Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.” Matt 7 If an anointed one is not producing "fruit"/teachings that remain, they are producing lies, that are changed out like a dirty shirt. All of the apostles' teachings have remained. Are you trying to make me look bad…or God’s word in Jesus Christ? Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless. Rev 14:1,5

None of the JWs here have even dared comment on what GB Stephen Lett said during your convention. Lett: - "You hear people say of a little baby, ‘look at that little angel’, but more accurate would be to say, ‘look at that little enemy of God’”. Please tell me if the GB is truly adhering to and following Christ as a model: Luke 8:16 - Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Matt 18:1-3 - “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’ ” Ps 127:3 - Behold, children are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Did GB Lett in any way, "imitate" what Jesus said about children? Did he adhere to the model Jesus set by his words? Do you, JWs, feel that S. Lett is worthy of imitation? Has it sunk into your brain to now consider babies as enemies of God? Does the man have any love in his heart? This is proof that the quote you provided glamourizing the GB, is all a lie. Summoning the crowd, he told them, “Listen and understand: 11 It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came up and told him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” 13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone! They are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Matt 15:10-14

Now this, is OCD I've been on here since 2016. I have never not said, "Jesus", "Jesus Christ", or "Christ", and also in personal times, "Yeshua" From (1) יה (yah), in YHWH, and (2) the verb ישע (yasha'), to save.

Did the apostles EVER tell a lie? Did they EVER teach the doctrine of men? Did they EVER appoint a date for Armageddon? Did the EVER add to God's word? Do you choose to imitate individuals that have misled millions with the promise that Armageddon would arrive in a certain month, and in a certain year? No one can say they are adhering to and following Jesus Christ as a model, when they cannot live up to the foundation of truth set by him and the apostles. Eph 2:20-22 "For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit, which you had not received, or a different gospel, which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly! "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Matt 5:20

As a testimony... The ”Gentile times” are not over. We have a resurgence of the trampling of the spiritual Temple that happens in the last days. (Dan 7:7; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2)The “disgusting thing standing in the holy place”, (Matt 24:15) is the presence of the elders not anointed, representing the royal priesthood, who are the “holy place”, the temple of God. Exod 35:19;1 Cor 3:16; 2 Cor 6:16 In Matt 24, the signs that Jesus gave us to applying to the last days, are sandwiched between warnings of false teachers, false “christs” deceiving the “elect” – the anointed who ARE the Temple of God. (Matt 24:4,5,24,25) The signs are not to be taken literally as JWs have been taught, but spiritually, because they involve an act of deception against the “elect”! (Matt 24:23-25) Jesus told us that the kingdom does not come with observation but must be perceived spiritually. Observing wars in the world where Satan has great influence and applying it to the end times, contradicts Jesus’ words. Should we choose to listen to Jesus or place our attention on what Satan has formulated to “deceive the elect?” (Luke 17:20-24; Matt 24:24; 1 Tim 4:1) These signs that signify the coming end before the Kingdom arrives must be interpreted spiritually. They signify the Great Tribulation at hand which has also ignited Armageddon – the war of truth against lies, where the “kings of the earth” have taken their stand – CHRIST’S KINGS, not those of the world. Rev 1:5; 5:9,10 They will either fight on the side of Jesus and his words, or the demonic expressions coming from the mouths of false prophet and their organization. (Rev 16:13-16; 12:7,8) The leadership of the organization has told whopping lies, and they continue to do so. Jesus, who is faithful and true, would have no part in leading liars in this spiritual war. (John 14:6; Rev 19:11) Why would any of you excuse Wt's lies by laying that sin on Jesus Christ, who is truth? The disgusting thing/abomination is defined in Ezek 44:6-9 - “Now say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “O house of Israel, let Us have no more of all your abominations. 7 When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My house—and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations. 8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.” 9 Thus says the Lord God: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.” Again, the house/sanctuary of God today is the Temple made with "living stones". 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22. The message given in Ezekiel has not changed, those scriptures are still valid! God’s holy people (anointed) have allowed “foreigners”/elders not anointed, to “keep charge” of “daily sacrifices”, and of the anointed priests themselves, by ruling over them. This, has replaced the priests’ “daily sacrifices” with unfit sacrifices by elders, that are offered in the light of an organizational idol. (1 Pet 2:5; Heb 8:10; Dan 8:11,12) NO PERSON, ELDER OR OTHERWISE, can replace God’s appointed priests of His Temple. It defiles the dwelling of His Spirit – which IS the Temple. Matt 24:15,16 - “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” “let him understand” – “to exercise the mind, to comprehend, perceive” It doesn’t take deep comprehension to see that the nations in the world are warring. It doesn’t take perception to notice an earthquake or famine. Anyone who picks up a newspaper are using those events to say the end is coming. They are blatantly laid before us in this world. If one does “understand” the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” as existing in the organization, where does anyone go? The Temple of God is Zion – it is comprised of “living stones”, each one as part of that mountain. They are the “mountains”, the “hills” to flee to. (Isa 52:7; Ezek 36:8) They are also the “body”/“carcass” that was slain by your organization/Beast through disfellowshipping, for speaking truth and standing up against the teachings of false prophets and their idol. (Dan 3:16-18; Rev 11:1-3,7,11; 13:15; 12:1,2,6; Dan 11:35; Luke 17:37; Zech 8:23) Not many of the anointed have come together proclaiming this message. (Amos 7:1,2,7-9) But those who perceive the abomination with eyes of understanding, are the eagles that find the “body” and receive the spiritual food of truth that God has provided, before the Kingdom arrives. (Luke 13:37) They are those leaving the city, while the rest of the anointed and those with them, remain captive, "surrounded" by the elder body, inside your organization. (Luke 21:20; Rev 20:7-9) Any and all, are invited to the “Marriage Feast of the Lamb”. (Matt 22:1-2; Luke 21:7,21) If you fight against God’s word which clearly describes the “abomination standing in the holy place” as the elder body overtaking the anointed priesthood/Temple dwelling of God’s spirit - the "inheritance" of God; and you do this in order to defend the organization’s existence, then you are fighting against truth. (Jer 16:18) You are participating in the sins of the man of lawlessness. (2 Thess 2:1-4,9-12) You are essentially saying, ““Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Rev 13:4 That decision, becomes your active part in the war of Armageddon. Joel 3:14 The Disgusting Thing

Oh Pudgy. Do you believe the GB have similar traits as the Pharisees? If yes, then why would God bless such an arrangement of worship today?

‘For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. “ Gal 1:10 Servants of Christ are to work together and obey truth under our Master. I respect any spiritual knowledge that she has to offer in harmony with truth provide by her gift of Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 12:13-26) It is not the fleshly person that one follows or is one’s “leader”. It is the person who “leads” one to Christ that we respect. That is how the apostles were “leading” others into truth. (Heb 13:7) A true ambassador of a king doesn’t expect those who listen to his message to obey him as a person, but is only the messenger of the king. (2 Cor 5:20) If the GB were not your leaders, then when their doctrine is found to be false by you and you say so, they would not have you disfellowshipped. But instead, you must obey and be loyal to their arrangement and power over you, even when they tell you a bunch of lies. But you know this already.

What are those scriptures? And the elder are spiritual “Levites”? Since the anointed role as the priesthood is rejected as inactive under Jesus Christ - said by your leaders, all elders, and JWs (inactive unless you are the GB) - then, is the elder body the “Levites” approved to give God “sacrifices of praise”/”daily sacrifices”, (1 Pet 2:5,9; Heb 13:15; 10:11), the symbolic burning of incense? (Dan 8:12,13) Read this article which deduces how the Beast of Revelation composed of the elder body, “makes war with the saints (anointed) and overcome them”; which you, if you are still an elder, are taking an active role at accomplishing. (Rev 13:1,2,5-7) w02 8/1 p. 13-14 - "Loyally Submit to Godly Authority", especially paragraphs 18 and 20. When it came to worshiping God throughout Israel’s history, it was according to HIS way, and not the ways of men. The article shows two “ways”; that of God in the event of Korah; and in the end, that of men. In your organization, it is man’s way that is established as doctrine. The priesthood IS the spiritual Temple today. They, are the teachers, the judges, the messengers of God’s laws written on their heart. They don’t require a “Shepherding Book” when they work in harmony with their Master, Jesus. ( Mal 2:7; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16; 6:2; Heb 8:10; 1 John 2:27) But they are not allowed to do this in your organization; yet, we have full evidence through the apostle's accounts that as priests, they accomplished all they were required to under Jesus Christ. Rom 15:15,16 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+15%3A15%2C16&version=CSB Why is it that the GB who claim to be anointed priests, are active, yet the rest of God’s holy people are told to shut up and make room for the Gentiles to rule over them? As the article clearly alludes to, in the last days “Gentiles”/elders not anointed take over the Temple as priests. (2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2) If you are not anointed, which appears you aren't by your spurious remarks about them, you are a spiritual “Gentile” as an elder “representing the royal priesthood”, who are “Jews”. (paragraph 18) (Rom 2:28,29; Phil 3:3; Col 2:11) I am defending the spiritual “organization”, that is the Temple of God comprised of “living stones”. (1 Pet 2:5,9; Eph 2:20-22) That “organization” was established in the first century. Its concept in the chosen priesthood has been in practice since Moses’ day. (Heb 8:5) You, are defending a new “living” "spirit-directed" idol, and something that was not known by God’s people in the past (Dan 11:38; Rev 13:15) . You are defending an abomination against God that rules over God’s choice of “organization”. Dan 11:31,32; Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:3,4 It is hypocrisy at its worst to call the linked article, “Loyally Submitting to Godly Authority”, because at the end of its presentation of what scriptures tell us concerning Korah, it declares that the exact opposite will be practiced by the organization today. But, twisting the truth is what Satan does best. 2 Chron 13:9 – “Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of [other] lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of [things that are] not gods.” Has the organization driven out the priesthood to make room for “Gentiles” from all nations, people and tongues? Yes, and it is a lethal move on the part of the org’s leadership. Num 3:10 - "So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who comes near shall be put to death." 1 Cor 3:16,17 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 2 Thess 2 speaks of a word or letter that appears to come from “apostles” (A. Morris loves to identify himself with the apostles, 2 Cor 11:13), that the “day of the Lord had come”. (2 Thess 2:2) 1914. It continues by saying that “day” won’t come until the “man of lawlessness” is revealed, “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thess 2:4 That is exactly what the elder body has done and their Harlot leaders have approved, by driving out the priests of God to offer their spiritual sacrifices of praise to the idol/organization. At Jesus’ return, he will destroy the man of lawlessness, “by the breath of his mouth”. 2 Thess 2:8 As an elder, have you proven yourself to be an opposer of God’s anointed ones? Yes, by your slander against them. I hope that attitude changes. By revering your organization, are you exalting yourself over the Temple of God, which always has been the center of worship with God's people? Yes, and I hope that changes as well. The rejection of the spiritual “organization” God set in place with Jesus Christ, which is the Temple built with “living stones” of His anointed priesthood, will lead to the entire organization and its leadership facing the wrath of God.

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/bi10/38/8#study=discover You had better talk to your leaders and ask why they have allowed this version of the Bible to be on their website.

Worshiping in sprit and truth does not require a religious organization. As I've said before, if that's what you're looking for, you know there are plenty out there to choose from who offer at least "15 percent" truth and maybe more. Jesus told her, “Believe me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem." Neither here in this organization, or there, in that organization. "But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.” John 4 A prophet appears in the last days to warn God's people of their sins. (Mal 3:1-4; Matt 17: 11; Rev 11:1-3; 14:6,7) This person's goal is not to establish a religion, but to give an inspired warning and the understanding of this warning in Revelation. (Rev 1:1) We know there are no prophets from the past who established an organized religion. Only what Jesus began building on his body, through the apostles and all anointed; is acceptable "worship". (John 13:20) Pudgy, you should realize that any religion organized by men leads to corruption, yet you seem to desire the same thing that you already have, no matter the message.
