What did you glean from the link I gave you?

I hope when you read this, you will see that nothing antagonistic will disturb the Kingdom of God once Armageddon is finished. In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. Peoples will stream to it, 2 and many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. (1 Pet 2:5,9,10;1 Cor 3:16,17; 2 Cor 6:16; Eph 2:19-22) He will teach us about his ways so we may walk in his paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3 He will settle disputes among many peoples and provide arbitration for strong nations that are far away. They will beat their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will never again train for war. 4 But each person will sit under his grapevine and under his fig tree with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the Lord of Armies has spoken. 5 Though all the peoples each walk in the name of their gods, we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever. 6 On that day— this is the Lord’s declaration— I will assemble the lame and gather the scattered, those I have injured. 7 I will make the lame into a remnant, those far removed into a strong nation. Then the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion from this time on and forever. 8 And you, watchtower for the flock, fortified hill of Daughter Zion, the former rule will come to you; sovereignty will come to Daughter Jerusalem. Micah 4:1-8

The difference is that you admit to your shenanigans. He deliberately denies them and still his conscious doesn't seem to bother him. I don't tolerate lies well at all.

Much better, now that I recognize the difference between a wicked slave and one of Christ's faithful slaves. It must be difficult for you to sleep, knowing you must keep up with all of your ruses.

Jesus "sends" those whom we are to recognize as speaking his words. Mark 9:37; Matt 10:40 Jesus did not send the Governing Body who easily "kill" their own brothers in Christ who cannot accept their lies. Rev 13:15 I don't follow anyone, but Christ. I am obedient to his word, but you obviously do not know how the true unity and love of the Body works. If I love a faithful member of that anointed Body, and work with him or her, this doesn't mean that I view that person as God. that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Cor 12:25,26 Your wicked slave has no clue what love is that Christ expect the members of his Body to display toward one another. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. 1 John 3:11,12 Matt 23:34

Dear Queen Esther, what you describe is Armageddon. Satan is the Destroyer, desiring to lead people away from Christ, who is life. Isa 33:1; John 14:6 But how would he do it? He would coerce his teachers who utter his lies, to talk truth about Christ and the Father in an acceptable light. Yet, he would take the precious promises of life that we have in Christ and give them a twist, making them appear to still be good initially, but having a horrendous outcome. He would put any blame of destruction to come upon us, on God. He makes Jesus out as the Destroyer, not him. He works by using deceit. Deceit, deception is his perfected means of pulling people away from Christ, even as he speaks of Christ – who, we really know is his enemy. Gen 3:15 Remember, he wants Jesus and the anointed destroyed. Rev 12:1-4,13,15 He knows that once God’s Kingdom is established on the other side of Armageddon, his rule over us, ends. Each of us must conquer his deceit, but we can’t do that without thoroughly reading Jesus’ promises of eternal life to come. Rev 12:10 It is a lie that Jesus would abandon his faithful sheep after a thousand years when he said “no one will snatch them from my hand”. Satan has already been “let loose” after a symbolic “thousand years” to formulate not only this lie but many others that have been told to you. He uses false prophets, false teachers to do so. Rev 13:11 How does he walk about like a roaring lion seeking to devour someone? By using sugar-coated lies as a trap. A peaceful “thousand years” to come after Armageddon to be interrupted by a “testing” time, is one of those bitter-sweet lies he has concocted. Matt 10:34 It gives you enough of a promise of relief from this world, only to rob you of it, a thousand years later. By believing that he will surface after Armageddon, after the Great Day of God the Almighty, and lead millions of people away from Jesus Christ when they have already been judged as deserving of eternal life, he has gained the power he craves, over the thoughts and actions of JWs. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Cor 11:13-15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.” Matt 7:15 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matt 7:21-23 When we turn to Christ who is our Savior, he saves us from death, because he has conquered it. Matt 28:18; John 8:31,32 Through our continual obedience to him and the Father until death and Satan are thrown into the “lake of fire”, we receive eternal life in God’s Kingdom, never to be interrupted by death again. Rev 20:10 Now, that is an eternal promise that far exceeds the limited promise of what you have been taught. Ps 18:30; Isa 55:11

Do you mean, posterity?

Must we conquer death twice? Was Jesus’ sacrifice so that we may gain life, a temporary promise, even a worthless sacrifice? If we are obedient to the Father through Christ’s teachings, how can we receive eternal life, just to have it possibly taken away again? Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. John 11:25 Jesus never said it would be a temporary time of peace after the Kingdom arrives. A promise is a promise, especially from God. Why would He interrupt the Kingdom peace He bestows on his children by sending Satan to deceive them? To be acceptable to live in the Kingdom of God, we are judged NOW by Christ. If we are judged as evil, we wouldn’t be in the Kingdom! To be children of God, our hearts would be sealed in pure devotion to the Father and Christ. “For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor 15:56 We each can conquer death eternally, by obeying the Father and the Son. Mark 12:29-34 Our opportunity for eternal life is now through Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul said that when Jesus returns, he will destroy death. 1 Cor 15:23-28 The “Thousand Years”, which has come and gone, is on this side of Armageddon, not on the Kingdom side. God’s Kingdom is a righteous kingdom, which will remain that way eternally. Satan will not be waiting in an abyss to resurrect “death”, because Jesus will have destroyed both death and him, as scriptures tells us. It is very sad to see just how little Watchtower members understand Jesus’ teachings, his promises, and his sacrifice, all because the organization's leaders preach “another Jesus”. 2 Cor 11:4 Matt 25:32,46: "All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. "And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." John 3:18 - "Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.” John 12:3033: Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” This He said, signifying by what death He would die. Would the great Shepherd, Jesus, allow any thief to steal away his sheep that he draws to himself? John 10:9,10 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." John 10:27,28

Then, you believe there are two Armageddons. Is that right?

I see your confusion. I didn't write the post, I commented on the post.

I am a woman. "Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there? Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?" Amos 3:5 Yes, I was attracted to Watchtower's initial offers of truth; the literal earth to remain forever, with people living in a righteous setting. I wanted to believe they did it right, since their offer of some truth was appealing. I put on blinders to block out the hypocrisy, which my husband as an elder, was very receptive to, and regularly pointed it out. When an author does his research, doesn't he usually dig for his facts? Don't be afraid to go to the link. You'll recognize my experience.

I'm sure that story is around here somewhere; you'll find it if you dig for it. Better yet, go here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/restorationofjacob/permalink/971646589675271/ It's among the comments of others.

When I found truth spoken by an actual “inspired” anointed one. Mal 3:1-3; Rev 11:1-3; Matt 22:1-4; 25:6-10

It's not the arrows that matter, whether up or down. It is consistent honesty and integrity, which the three identities in one, appear to lack. The arrows help identify the character.

@BillyTheKid46 aka Allen Smith. I'm just wondering why you have @Foreigner click the angry red arrows for you? I marvel at your game-playing.

I did explained what would happen briefly in this related topic, based on your expression. It is toward the bottom of my comment, beginning: Fast forward to who will disfellowship the Governing Body. It will be the organization itself. However, I’ll say it again, as straightforward and simply as possible. Indeed, there will be a posse to come against the Governing Body to oust them. If you have ever read any of my posts you would know that I believe the two Beasts of Revelation 13 are the organization (Beast from the Sea) and the governing body (Beast with two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon). Rev 13:1,11 The Beast from the Sea is spirit-directed – “spirit-breathed”. It is deemed such, by the composite false prophet. Rev 13:15 This Beast overcomes the anointed ones – “kings of the earth”. (Rev 1:5) It blasphemes the Temple/sanctuary of God, which is so obvious in recent pages of the Watchtower. This Beast is directed by the false prophet to… symbolically “kill” all who do not recognize, worship, adore, it. Disfellowship them, which is a spiritual "death". Because of the many sins of the false prophet that come to light, the Beast from the Sea/organization joins with a symbolic "ten" anointed ones to gets rid of the false prophet/Harlot . Rev 17:12-14 What next? The organization/Beast will be under a revised ruler-ship of both anointed and elders not anointed. It will exist for a symbolic “one hour” without the false prophet/governing body. Rev 17:12,13 After which, John says, “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.” Rev 19:19,20 There are “kings of the earth” on both sides of the Watchtower walls. Those who have been disfellowshipped for rejecting the Beast’s “mark”/identity, and those who remain inside, submissive to human rule, which is lawlessness. 2 Thess 2:3,4 Will they leave lawlessness and side with Christ in this battle? Or, will these "kings" love the organization more than God? More than their appointed Head? Can you see the sides develop in this spiritual war? Col 2:8; Eph 6:12 Michael stands up for his people, whose name means, "Who is like God" Dan 12:1 What is the general tone of the Watchtower? "Who/what can compare to "Jehovah's organization"...."Who is like the Beast? Who is able to make war with him?" Rev 13:4 This is the divisive battle of Armageddon. It isn't fought in Satan’s world of ruler-ship while God’s anointed Ambassadors of Christ must obey those who “represent” them - the elder body. Any who believe this, have been thoroughly deceived. 2 Thess 2:3,4,9-12; Rev 13:18 Matt 24:15,16 Rev 18:4-8 doesn’t apply to those in Christendom, but speaks to the anointed and companions under the Harlot and Beast. It says, come out of her, MY PEOPLE, God's "Israel". MY PEOPLE: Isa 43:10-13; 1 Pet. 2:9,10; 2 Cor 6:16; Heb 8:10

I believe you have asked me this before, and I wonder why you ask again. I would pray for the power to open all eyes of those who revere the organization. Rev 13:4 I would pray for the power to open all hearts to love and serve only the Father and the Son, not men who rule with an iron fist in a velvet glove; that people like yourself would desire to see through the WT glittery veneer and heed Rev 18:4-8, before its too late. Jer 51:6; Matt 22:36-40; (Rev 11:3) No human would be given the power to change prophesy, yet the WT leaders are trying very hard to do so. Dan 7:25; 2 Thess 2:1-4; 1 Thess 5:3 I would never ask for such a thing. Rev 1:3; 22:18,19 Of course, the power to read hearts is the Father's. The power to save righteous-hearted ones, is Christ. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.” John 10:27-29

If I was going to make that big of a deal out of it, I would have mentioned it in my last comment, right? I let it drop. I "observed" the Memorial of Christ's death. Call it what you like, but when I consider what walking in the footsteps of Christ is all about, it is not only joy, but great sacrifice. Satan does not make it easy. The word "celebrate" as I have used it, does not fit my circumstance, but maybe it does yours. “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. Matt 20:22 Saying that and living it, are two different things. "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Pet 5:10,11 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 Pet 2:21 It is not false piety to work out one's salvation in fear and trembling. Phil 2:12 It is a responsibility and eager desire to please God and one's Master. Satan tests each anointed one just as he tested Christ.

It wouldn't include those within the Watchtower. We are in our private homes, but we use skype, facebook video chat, or gmail to link together. Being at various ends of the earth doesn't make it easy, so I am friends of more anointed ones than who may meet in my little group. Many choose to observe the memorial with their group or by themselves and whom they may invite who are not anointed. Once anointed leave the Watchtower, it doesn't mean they are all pursuing truth. This is a war between "kings" - Christ's kings. Rev 1:5. A war of "words", either truth or lies, is happening both inside and outside of the Watchtower. Joel 3:14 I believe this is why Jesus said what he did in Matt 18:20. The faithful remnant ("trees") that comes out of the Great Tribulation is small. Isa 10:17-19; Matt 3:10

I would not “celebrate” the last meal Jesus had with his disciples, leading up to his death. I would hope you wouldn’t either. The Jewish “day” is from sunset to sunset. Jesus initiated the remembrance of his death and the establishment of the New Covenant, after sunset when Nisan 13 began - the day before Passover began. He also died on that Day of Preparation, when the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover, which would begin after sunset of the day Jesus died. Mark 15 “Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.” John 19:31 - “Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” I observed “the Lord’s Evening Meal” on the physical evening of the day Nisan 13 begins. You might want to ask your leaders why they commemorate the meal on the wrong date, the day of Passover, and mislead millions to do so. Jesus’ death as the sacrificial lamb fulfilled that observance. I gather with any anointed ones who desire to do so. Matt 18:20 - For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

God is building His spiritual House, which is soon to be completed. The early Jews received fair warning of this house to come, when Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. John 2:19-22 We remember that Jesus said this after seeing the business conducted in the temple by the moneychangers. He lashed out in anger; and using a ‘whip of cords’ overturned their tables of money, driving both animals and money-changers out of the temple. In order to worship at the temple, this corrupt commerce of trade had developed. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” John 2:16,17 Luke 19:46 reads: Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called A HOUSE OF PRAYER for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘DEN OF THIEVES.’ ” The account took place around this time of year, just before the Passover, which was a busy time at the temple and ample opportunity for the Pharisees to take advantage of the people. They supported high prices to not only exchange foreign currency, but to sell sacrificial offerings of all kinds to those who desired to worship in the temple. The high priest of the temple, Annas, who held the office with the official high priest Caiaphas, was called by Josephus the historian, “a great hoarder up of money”. (John 18:13) As it was, the “chief cornerstone” of the new Temple God had planned to “build”, was largely rejected by Jews and its leaders. Matt 23:37,38 The Watchtower Insight in the Scriptures comments on “cornerstone”: “Paul showed that members of the Christian congregation had been built up “upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone,” in union with whom the whole building harmoniously joined together “is growing into A HOLY TEMPLE for Jehovah,” a place for Him to inhabit by spirit.—Eph 2:19-22.” Who specifically comprise the Christian congregation? The Insight Book continues: Psalm 118:22 discloses that the stone rejected by the builders would become “the head of the corner” (Heb., roʼsh pin·nahʹ). Jesus quoted and applied this prophecy to himself as “the chief cornerstone” (Gr., ke·pha·leʹ go·niʹas, head of the corner). (Mt 21:42; Mr 12:10, 11; Lu 20:17) Just as the topmost stone of a building is conspicuous, so Jesus Christ is the crowning stone of the Christian congregation OF ANOINTED ONES, which is likened to a SPIRITUAL TEMPLE. Peter also applied Psalm 118:22 to Christ, showing that he was “the stone” rejected by men but chosen by God to become “the head of the corner.”—Ac 4:8-12; see also 1Pe 2:4-7. Is this clear to you, JWs? Can you see that the anointed “living stones” comprise the Body of Christ who is their Head? Eph 4:11,12,15; 5:23; To clarify further on Watchtower’s guarded wording, this spiritual temple IS the Temple of God. 1 Pet 2:5-9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; 2 Cor 6:16 Please notice your “Examining the Scriptures” for today, Friday, April 19th: “The builders,” the Jewish leaders, rejected the Messiah. Their rejection was far more than just turning their backs on Jesus or refusing to accept him as the Christ. Many Jews rejected him to the point of clamoring for his death. (Luke 23:18-23) Yes, they contributed to Jesus’ being killed. If Jesus was rejected and killed, how could he become “the chief cornerstone”? That could come about only by his being resurrected to life again. The apostle Peter spoke of “Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead.” (Acts 3:15; 4:5-11; 1 Pet. 2:5-7) This resurrected Son thus became the only one whose name was “given among men by which we must get saved.”—Acts 4:12; Eph. 1:20. W 17.12 9-10 par. 6-9 JWs, today’s modern-day Pharisees also do not uphold the chief cornerstone. They do not recognize Jesus as our source of salvation, that he is the only “name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Why do I say this? It is because another “cornerstone” has been set in place, and another name for salvation has been devised. Describing the Hebrew rendition of “cornerstone”, the Insight Book states: Some translations use “cornerstone(s)” to render a Hebrew word (pin·nahʹ), which carries the basic thought of “corner” but is also used metaphorically for a chief as a ‘corner’ of defense or support, hence for a KEYMAN. Thus, at Isaiah 19:13 certain translations use “cornerstone(s)” (RS; AT; AS), whereas others use “chiefs” (Le) and “leaders” (Mo), agreeing basically with the New World Translation rendering “keymen.” (See also Jg 20:2;1Sa 14:38; Zec 10:4, where the Hebrew is literally “the corner tower(s),” these being pictorial of important or vital men, or chiefs.) Such an application of ‘corner’ to a keyman seems significant in view of the symbolic application of “cornerstone” in Messianic prophecy. Yes, Jesus is the “keyman, chief, leader”, Head of his anointed Body, who defends his people when they turn to him DIRECTLY for support. Isa 40:10,11; Dan 12:1; Joel 2:11; John 10:11;1 Pet 5:4; Rev 3:12; 19:11 However, is HE the head of the Watchtower organization as well? Is HE the High Priest of a corporation when we know he rejected all earthly treasures and power offered to him by Satan? Matt 4:8-10; Heb 7:26; 9:11 Absolutely not. His authority has been seized, specifically over his anointed “living stones”. They obey whom they physically see – new keymen, new leaders over a new, spiritual “temple” comprised of a congregation of people from all tribes, tongues and nations. Isa 51:23; Luke 18:8; 2 Cor 11:4; 1 Cor 3:11; Rev 13:1,5-8 These new “chiefs” are as well accepted as the high priest Annas was. Josephus states - “he increased in glory every day, and this to a great degree, and had obtained the favor and esteem of the citizens in a signal manner”. Let’s see what this new spiritual temple is called: “Today, millions join in true worship, and they are moved from the heart to contribute their “valuable things,” which include their time, energy, and resources in support of JEHOVAH’S GREAT SPIRITUAL TEMPLE. (Prov. 3:9) . All that has been accomplished for true worship in these last days is tangible evidence of Jehovah’s blessing and Christ’s leadership. WE ARE PART OF A STABLE, SECURE, AND EVERLASTING ORGANIZATION.Wt 17.1029 Scattered among these millions of people are members of God’s priesthood, but barely recognized as belonging to the authentic temple in Christ. Your “builders” who have raised a “great spiritual temple” or “mountainlike organization” and which looms over all with threats to shun nonconformists, is prophesied to come against the anointed remnant in the last days. This is the stark, dark reality hidden under its attractive veneer, JWs. Dan 11:37-39; Rev 20:7-9; Rev 8:8; Zech 4:7,9 With human help, Satan has accomplished his great feat, which is to dissolve all knowledge of God’s authentic Temple in Christ. Dan 8:13,24; 7:25; 12:7; Rev 11:1,2 Revelation calls it the dragon’s “Beast from the Sea”; which is directed by a composite “false prophet”/Beast with “two horns”. Dan 7:7; Rev 13:1,2,11,15 The defining aspect of the Beast from the Sea is its “war” against God’s Temple/sanctuary – against the Temple “stones” that it holds in captivity. No other worldly organization fulfills this prophesy. Zeph 1:15; 2 Thess 2:4; Rev 13:7,8 By WT leaders’ rejection of God’s authentic spiritual Temple in Christ, they have rejected the “chief cornerstone”, replacing him with themselves as “keymen” who direct a counterfeit priesthood to rule over God’s authentic priests, effectively trampling down their existence. Matt 24:15; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2; Rev 13:14,15; 19:20 Refer again to Friday’s “daily text” – Their rejection was far more than just turning their backs on Jesus or refusing to accept him as the Christ. Many Jews rejected him to the point of clamoring for his death. (Luke 23:18-23) Yes, they contributed to Jesus’ being killed. If Jesus was rejected and killed, how could he become “the chief cornerstone”? Another “killing” is occurring at the hands of your leaders, JWs; that of the “ambassadors of Christ”. 2 Cor 5:20 For those bold enough to speak truth about the existence of God’s Temple and its only Head, they are “killed”, disfellowshipped by “uncircumcised” elders. Luke 21:12; John 16:2; Rev 11:7; 13:15; Rom 2:28,29 It is not a matter of ‘just turning their backs’, on anointed who speak truth, but it is a swift judgment of spiritual “death”. Prov 19:6,7; Isa 66:5; Rom 14:4 For those brave enough to say there is “no other name under heaven by which we must get saved” which is a total rejection of the IDOL, they lose the life they have known for the sake of their Head, Jesus Christ. Matt 5:11; 10:22; 16:25 Many fellow believers in Christ have suffered the same outcome. Matt 10:39 JWs, thievery is being committed by your leaders on many fronts. Col 2:8 You, personally, have been robbed of the knowledge of Christ, his priesthood and the Temple of God. Matt 11:28; John 4:10; Rom 8:16,17,19 Under the rule of a “wicked slave”, you have been robbed of each anointed one’s gift given them, to serve the children of God. Mal 2:7; Luke 16:1-3; Matt 24:48-51; 1 Cor 12:4-11; Eph 4:16; Rev 22:17 You have been robbed of the blessings of priestly sacrifices made to God, that are now replaced with sacrifices to an idol. Dan 8:11,12,38; Ezek 8:5-10 You now put your faith in an organization, breaking the law of God, which requires giving Him exclusive devotion. Exod 20:5; Isa 42:8; 46:5; Mark 12:29,30; Rev 13:8 Even though you may speak of God and Jesus Christ, you believe that salvation is obtainable from the organization, as long as you obey the direction of its “keymen”. Rev 13:4, 11-14 On the “steps” of God’s Temple in the anointed ones, Watchtower leaders have positioned a “marketplace” for their idol, where JWs “buy” spiritual food; bought not only with literal donations, but with physical slavery in order to be privileged to worship there. Matt 6:24; Rom 6:16; Rev 13:16,17 How many times do JWs hear, “what a privilege it is to serve in Jehovah’s organization”? Sadly, Christ’s priests are engaging in the same idolatrous worship, robbing themselves not only of the refined gold that Christ offers if they would just open the door, but they will lose their place in the Temple of God. Rev 2:20; Matt 25:6-13; Dan 11:35; Rev 3:18; Matt 21:42-44 Please, for any JW reading this, consider these excerpts from Pearl Doxsey’s article, “YHVH’S GENUINE MOUNTAIN”: Satan has the power to create "mountains" during his present reign over the world (1 John 5:19; Rev 17:9). "Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory." Matt 4:8 These mountains, include religious ones (Rev 17:9). Yhwh says that in the time of the end, there is a mountain which must become level ground...IN PREPARATION FOR THE KINGDOM... [...a mountain which God will destroy; (Zech 4:7; Rev 8:8)]. We must be certain that we are not putting our trust in the counterfeit mountain. (Luke 3:5; Mal 3:1; Rev 14:6,7; Isa 46:11; Haggai 2:7) (Rev 13:8; 16:2) Counterfeit mountain? Yes. The scriptures also tell us of a TRUE Mountain which DOES provide shelter and salvation. Survival depends upon the guidance of scripture, to give us the ability to discern the Genuine, from the Counterfeit. Is the Organization made up of the 144,000? Or, is its backbone and body almost entirely made up of those who are not even Chosen Ones? Who do you see as representatives of the Organization within your own Congregation?....the anointed "ambassadors" of Christ (2 Cor 5:20; Rom 2:29; 1 Cor 6:2,3), or spiritual Gentiles (Elders) who have raised themselves up over God's Chosen Priests? (2 Thess 2:4; Rev 11:1,2; Mark 13:14) "Now faith is confidence in what we HOPE FOR and assurance about WHAT WE DO NOT SEE. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, WHOSE ARCHITECT AND BUILDER IS GOD. they were longing for a better country—a HEAVENLY one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for HE HAS PREPARED A CITY for them." Heb 11:1,2,8,10,16; Rev 21:2 So...does YHWH have a "mountainlike" Organization? Yes. An administration of priests, "hand-picked" by God to become heirs of the earth, to the blessing of all Creation. (Eph 1:9-12; 1 Pet 2:9,10; Rom 8:19; Gal 3:29; Gen 13:14; 28:14; Heb 2:5,16; Rev 22:1,2; Eze 34:27) JWs, when you observe your Memorial of the New Covenant that Jesus, the fulfilled promise of a seed to the nation of Israel, established with the foundation stones of his anointed Temple, remember that the sealed anointed are also a promise for a seed… Rom 9:8; Gal 3:7,14,29; 4:28,31,26; Heb 11:26; Isa 61:8 Pearl Doxsey continues: “When that seed arrives, the covenant is fulfilled . (Rom 8:24,25; Rev 12:1,2,5; 2:26,27) Those who accept and "listen to" that seed, "bless themselves" (Jer 12:16; Matt 5:14; 10:40; 1 Tim 4:16; Gen 17:7,19; Luke 1:55) These will be appointed over all the earth (Gen 28:13,14; 13:14; Ps 2:8; 45:16; Matt 24:46,47; Rev 5:10; 20:6) Those who persecute and destroy that seed, are in turn, destroyed . (Isa 57:13; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Rev 11:7; 20:10,14; 2 Thess 2:8) So you see, the New Covenant/Promise, also becomes fulfilled, and ends . (Mark 14:24; 1 Cor 11:26; Heb 1:6; 10:13; Rev 5:9,10; Eph 1:4-12; Rev 7:4; 14:1) At that time, the building of GOD’S spiritual house, will be finished. Pearl Doxsey, 4womaninthewilderness blogspot “Jew” or “Gentile”? “End of the New Covenant”

I agree, but for those waking up, it's another Watchtower card of hypocrisy to add to the hand. There are many facets, many cards of hypocrisy, dealt in the org. Once one holds/perceives an obvious "full house", that person has triumphed over the Beast/organization and its composite false prophet. Rev 13:1,11,15

One of my favorite scriptures are these in Rev 21: Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” In verse 4 it makes reference to Isa 25:8 - “On this mountain (Zion) the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. 7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.” As a JW, this is what I looked forward to. However, the Watchtower teaches that this is temporary – only for 1,000 literal years after Armageddon; at which time, Satan is to be let loose to devise and plan a strategy to come against GOD’S SAINTS. (Rev 20:9 KJV) This devising could take years to create and build, even a hundred years; give or take. Rev 20:7-9 However this is impossible. #1 God’s saints will be ruling with Christ as “New Jerusalem, the Bride and the dwelling of God (1 Cor 3:16,17), their hearts will be sealed – all “144,000 of them. Rev 7:7 They will have victoriously battled Satan and his Beast (Rev 13:1) alongside Christ, and won. Rev 15:2; 12:10 Satan won’t have the opportunity to target the saints once they are reigning with Christ as his Bride. The Watchtower teaches that Gog and Magog will show up after Armageddon, and also before Armageddon. The Bible doesn’t give two accounts of this happening. Only one time does Gog and Magog “surround the camp of the saints” using deceit as his tool, which is before they are sealed…and which is now, as the two Beasts of Rev 13. #2 Jesus is light and life. John 8:12; John 14:6; Satan is darkness and death. Isa 33:1; Eph 6:11,12; 1 Pet 5:8 When death is swallowed up, Satan is destroyed. Rev 21:4 tells us “death will be no more”. Isn’t that what all JWs look forward to? #3 1 Cor 15:22-26: “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. “Then the end will come” when Jesus returns; at which time, the “last enemy to be destroyed is death”. We are finished with the symbolic “thousand years” when Jesus rules amidst his enemies. Ps 110:1,2. The evidence is in the lie that Watchtower teaches God’s saints and all JWs, of a peaceful ideallic 1000 years to follow after Armageddon which is to come to a halt, and millions are to be killed in another “Armageddon-like” war. Rev 20:7-10 The Beast, the false prophet (Gog and Magog), and Satan are thrown into the “lake of fire” at the culmination of Armageddon when all authorities and powers will be abolished. God’s Kingdom of peace will rule eternally with no interruption, under Jesus Christ, and with no more death to come. Rev 7:9-12 Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces. 24 The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. 25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time. What organization has changed the set times of Armageddon (more than once) and of the thousand year reign of Christ…as well as the laws regarding God’s anointed priesthood, by having elders “represent” the royal priesthood? Eze 44:6-9 The “saints” have been given into the elder’s hands, to be ruled over. Matt 24:15; 2 Thess 2:3,4 The Beast/organization of Rev 13:1 is the “man of lawlessness” that “overcomes” the saints and has authority to rule over people (JWs) from “every tribe, tongue and nation” Rev 13:7; Rev 20:7-9 I so wish JWs would recognize this. 26 ‘But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever. Rev 19:20 27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’ Dan 7:23-27 An everlasting kingdom never to be interrupted by Satan, and his deceit leading to death. If God promises that death will be no more, then death will be no more. Isa 55:11 During his time in the "abyss", Satan and his demons were "restrained" from devising a plan against the anointed ones, but that doesn't mean he lost his authority over the earth, but only over the anointed until the last days.* When let loose, his ability to devise a plan and attack the anointed was restored, and here it is; a "strong delusion" that God allows him to test each anointed heart. Luke 22:31 2 Thess 2: The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. * edited. The abyss is a place of "not perceiving". Once released, he was able to "perceive" and fabricate his plan against the remnant.

Rev 12:1-4: “ A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. “ Satan deceives/battles those under the New (“woman” Gal 4:24) Covenant before the birth of the Kingdom. Twice, “stars” are used in these scriptures. Why would the definition of stars change from God’s anointed ones to Satan’s demons, when its obvious that Satan is trying to destroy them? Stars represent Abraham’s seed. Dan 12:3; Phil 2:15; Rev 1:20

Billy the Kid: "I won’t be impressed by Liyod Evans attempt to demonize the GB just like Butler and witness. Until I see something on the news as a headline. This topic had no value, to begin with." As Billy points the finger to the Catholic religion, which shows he is comparing the Watchtower to all other religious organizations and their sins....and which pretty much proves that the Watchtower does not belong to God.... ...has any JW wondered what the world of “Christendom” thinks of what Anthony Morris did that Sunday? JWs are to portray themselves as a “clean people”, and moderate in all things and in all habits. Here is the perspective of someone who has never been a JW as you can tell by some of his beliefs. But, he has made some very important points for all JWs to consider. The world appears to be watching the Watchtower organization.
