    This conclusion seems fine to me.
    But as often happens, that word appears - but.
    At the time of the doctrine popularly called "the 1914 generation", we do not know today which people took part in it and how they led the debates, which of them were for, which were against, and which abstained. We today do not know what motivated these people and whether they were simply mistaken in believing in the wrong idea.
    Or were they actually right so that the second / third coming of the Kingdom actually took place within the "generation of 1914", but in a different way than expected and which remained invisible to WTJWorg and JW members?
    But let’s get back to a simpler reality. When WTJWorg concluded that “Jesus thought differently” and that "he actually meant" the “overlapping generation,” then it could be said and written in official documents (WT literature):
    That the former WTJWorg leadership taught the wrong doctrine because they believed in delusion and misconception. Why they believed in delusion and thought wrongly? Because they didn't know the real truth. We believe in another idea today. If this idea turns out to be wrong in the future, you need to know that we didn’t want to lie to you but that we just sincerely believed we were right this time.

    Can you see it yet?  Do you realize how responsible the leadership of your organization is, for placing stumbling blocks before God's holy people - Jesus Christ's "kings of the earth"?  Mal 2:8; Rev 1:5; 5:9,10
    Prophets who lie are spiritual harlots, because they have broken their covenant with God.  Ps 78:10;  Rev 13:11,12; 17:1-5

    Are you then suggesting that Child Sexual Abuse is on the same level as adultery ? 
    Are you suggesting a Pedophile should be treated the same as an adulterer ? 
    If so then you are 'sick', and I am more than concerned for you. 
    Two consenting adults having immoral sex is of course sin, but it is not hurting children. It is also not illegal.
    Child Sexual Abuse is far worse, but it seems that you do not think so, neither does your GB or Elders or others in the JW Org.  The GB are only concerned when the 'outside of the dish looks as dirty as the inside of the dish'.  It's all about the false impression, and it seems you agree with them. . 
    They were too frightened to tell the truth about my 'departure'. To the point that one Elder told my wife on the phone, that I had been disfellowshipped. Now if he told my wife that, knowing that my wife knew all the facts, then what is that Elder telling everyone else. More lies from a wicked org.
    One point here though. The GB are obviously frightened to admit that people DO leave the org of their own choice.  After all it would not be tooooooo hard for them to say that 'John Butler has left the organisation'. 
    Lets think about this for a moment. The GB and previous Leaders of the Watchtower / JW Org pretend that they are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, supplying true spiritual food at the PROPER TIME. But you criticise me for pointig out the FACTS that those Leaders have told many lies and given false predictions. 
    Here is a little of my basis for The True Anointed. 
    Zechariah 8:23 
    Berean Study Bible
    This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’ ”
     Acts 2:17 & 18 
    Berean Study Bible
    ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
    Now I find that to be quite a good 'hint' from scripture. I'm sorry if you do not have such faith.

    I've also mentioned Rachel Roman, who's letters and cards are being mailed earth-wide to branches, khs and JWs, and also have linked to my name on fb.  Pearl has no brother name "Ortho" that I know of.  She only, was a JW in her family; if you are thinking of a JW named "Ortho Doxsey".    
     
    Spiritual food at the proper time.  The scroll of Revelation is opening, Christ has already received and opened the scrolls,, and he shares that information with his "servant"/messenger (Rev 5:5; 1:1); "perfect" has not yet arrived until all written in the scroll, is fulfilled.  1 Cor 13:8-10    Jesus promised "truth" to those "branches" who remain in him. (John 15:5 Unlike the Wt's "new light", which is a backtracking, rejection and complete overhaul of a doctrine - sometimes returning to an old teaching and labeling it "new light"; "truth" is consistent light which only grows brighter with understanding.  It never leaves one in the dark.

    Witness got a reaction from Dmitar in GEOFFREY JACKSON'S BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE   
    GB member Geoffrey Jackson recently categorized those who would be written, removed, or not written, in the “book of life”. He mentioned the word, “remembrance”, saying it was found in Malachi chapter 3, but avoided reading it.
    “At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the Lord and had high regard for His name.” Mal 3:16
    Perhaps we should concentrate on the context around this scripture, which will describe the state of God’s chosen priesthood today. The anointed servants of Jesus Christ have abandoned his headship, to serve an evil slave and the slave’s idol/organization. (John 15:4; 1 John 2:28; Eph 1:22,23; 1 Cor 6:15; 2 Pet 3:17) (Matt 24:48-51; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:1,2,11,12,4) 
    It is true; a JW may speak of Jesus, even claim to obey him, yet disobediently choose the words of powerful men, over the words of Jesus Christ. (Prov 4:1,2; 2 Tim 4:2-4; 1 Tim 4:1; 2 Cor 11:4; Matt 15:9) 
    This is the case with God’s holy priesthood, the “living stones” of His Temple dwelling in Spirit. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) As a result, their individual “sacrifices of praise” have been silenced. (Num 28:6; Heb 10:11;13:15; Dan 12:11) 
    The priests have willingly let go of this obligation to God, without upholding and protecting not only God’s Temple dwelling within their hearts, but to uphold and protect the truth in Jesus Christ. (Num 3:10;2 Chron 23:6; 26:16-18; Ezek 44:16; Dan 8:11,12; Mal 2:7,8; 2 John 1:9-11;2 Tim 2:15) 
    Someone else is telling them what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. (Ezek 44:8; 2 Thess 2:3,4; 1 Cor 3:16;2 Cor 11:20; Dan 7:7;Rev 13:6) 
    Their role as God’s teachers has been eliminated by counterfeit elder “priests” “representing the royal priesthood”. (Mal 2:7) God’s “kings of the earth” have been overcome by the deceptive power over them. (Rev 1:5) (Rev16:13-16; 20:7-9) They are admonished to be an unobtrusive presence, and to remain scattered. (Dan 9:7; Joel 3:2; Zech 1:18-21) 
    In other words, the royal priesthood has been abased by the organization. (Lam 2:17; 3:28,29; Dan 9:8; Joel 2:17; Dan 8:11; Luke 19:43,44; 1 Cor 7:23; Gal 1:10) 
    The priests are tolerating men who demand obedience to an authority that has no backing in God’s word. (Deut 27:9,10; 2 Chron 13:9; Ezek 44:15,16) They must adhere to regulations beyond scripture, spoken as coming from “Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization” (Exod 32:8; Deut 12:32; Prov 30:6; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:1,2,15) 
    The Pharisees were guilty of this practice, and Jesus condemned them for it. (Mark 7:9) These laws are connected to the organization’s existence, and necessary to preserve an unscriptural dominance and dual rulership, of false prophets and their elder army. (Dan 2:33,42; Rev 9:1-4; Rev 13:11,12) 
    Christ’s chosen priests follow in the footsteps of spiritual Harlots, false teachers/false prophets, cowering under the leadership’s “empty philosophy”. (Jer 2:17; 9:9; 5:31; 1 Cor 6:15-17,19; Gal 1:10; Col 2:8; Rev 13:10) This was predicted to occur in the last days – Christ’s “kings of the earth” became captive to “demonic expressions”. (Rev 1:5; 16:13-16; 17:1,2) 
    The governing leaders’ consistent failures of understanding and applying God’s word correctly, must be excused and disregarded by all; not questioned, to preserve their unrighteous authority. (Luke 22:24-27; Matt 24:48-51) Since when has it been accepted by God to tell continuous falsehoods, and it not be considered a repetitive evil, committed by God's people? (Deut 18:20-22; Jer 23:16; Matt 7:15-20) 
    The book of Malachi explains it this way –
    You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you ask, “How have we wearied him?” When you say, “Everyone who does what is evil is good in the Lord’s sight, and he is delighted with them, or else where is the God of justice?” (Mal 2:17)
    Also recently, a governing leader stated that Russia appears to be the present “king of the north” spoken of in Dan 11:41, that “enters the land of the decoration”. He implied that this means Russia would interfere in a significant way with “the activities of God’s people”, meaning all JWs. The statement was made concerning the organization’s ban in Russia, but with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, they have intensely promoted Russia as “king of the north”. The “land of the decoration” is also referred to in other Bible translations as the “beautiful land”, the “glorious”, “promised”, “pleasant land”; all referring to the early nation of Israel, and now to God’s “Israel”, His “inhabited homeland”. (1 Cor 3:9,16; John 14:23; Eph 2:22) 
    Their “king of the north” teaching clashes with their doctrine that the anointed are the locust-scorpions of Revelation 9, who bring their “stinging message” to the world. No matter how one perceives it, locusts devour land. In the book of Joel, the “northern” locust army ,destroys God’s “beautiful land”. (Joel 1:6;2:3) God allowed this to happen because of their rejection of His commandments. This has a spiritual significance for our day, and ties in with the activity of the locust-scorpions of Rev. 9. (Joel 1:13;2:12,13; Dan 9:10,11; Mal 3:8,9; Rev 9:3,5) 
    So yes, there is a conundrum that exists with their two doctrines.
    #1 - We've got one worldly entity apparently interfering with JW activity, as well as devouring a literal land - the Ukraine. There are approximately 129,000 JWs in Ukraine. Considering that there are supposedly 8 million worldwide, has this “king of the north” impacted JWs “in a significant way”? Only 1.6 percent of JWs have been affected by Russia’s invasion. However, the prophesy of the king of the north accurately comes against the holy priesthood, not all JWs, which reduces the percentage tremendously. If the number of partakers at last’s year’s Memorial indicates the number of anointed worldwide inside the organization, only about .26 percent of JWs are anointed, with the rough chance that there may be a handful found in the country of Ukraine, as well as Russia.
    What a weak show of force by Wt’s “king of the north” against Daniel’s holy people, the saints, in the last days! (Dan 10:14; 7:21,25) How will Russia find what is left of the 20,746 anointed scattered and unidentifiable, within the entire JW rank? (Lam 4:1; Luke 19:41-44) 
    #2 - We also have the anointed priesthood appearing as foreboding locust-scorpions - not as a “beautiful land”, or a “land of decoration” - but "devouring" the world where they preach with their scorpion-like stinging message, and causing apparent fear and anxiety on their listeners. (Joel 2:6,7; Rev 9:5-6) How successful have they been at devouring and stinging these last two years? Has their message ever reached every country in the world? As the organization trumps up their king of the north in flaming red on their website, their doctrines are deflating, in the presence of truth. 
    So, what is the truth?  The truth is that the locust-scorpions’ target, is the same target as the king of the north; God’s anointed priests/”kings of the earth”. (Rev 1:5; 5:9,10) 
    These “kings” are the people whose activities have been removed, the “daily sacrifices” of praise to be offered to God. (Num 28:3; Dan 8:11,12; 1 Pet 2:5; Heb 13:15) These anointed priests are those who have been “devoured” by the leadership in the organization. (Jer 2:3) They must bow down to the governing leaders and their army, “man of lawlessness”, that “sits” in the Temple of God, ruling over the “living stones”, who are God’s “own possession” – His promised land. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22) 
    The elder “forces” have boldly "entered" God's "beautiful land" and dwelling/sanctuary of His Spirit. Russian leaders cannot remove daily sacrifices from a priesthood they know nothing about. (1 Cor 3:9; Ezek 44:6-9; Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2) 
    “King of the north” – “And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.” Dan 11:31
    “Man of lawlessness” - “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Mark 13:14
    JWs are taught that various entities are destined to come against them before Armageddon is finished; Gog of Magog, the Wild Beast from the Sea, Russia as the king of the north (but they change this at a whim). Incredibly, the “man of lawlessness” has no role against JWs in their playbook, and yet this identity ties all the above, together. These illustrative symbolic meanings for the same event in the last days, are deliberately blamed on the world of politics, by Harlots/false prophets who have left their covenant with God. They have purposefully confused JWs, when all these titles solely point to the organization and its dual leadership. God’s promised land has been deceived by Satan’s masterwork, to wipe out the “remaining ones of the woman’s seed”. ( Rev 12:12,17; Ezek 21:21,22; Rev 20:7,8) 
    Through this deceit, they have fallen into sin and idolatry, as foretold in the scriptures. (Matt 24:24,25; 1 Tim 4:1; Jer 2:4,5; Rev 13:4). And because of this transgression, God’s Temple has been desolated, defiled by the elder body “man of lawlessness” who “represent the royal priesthood”. (2 Thess 2:3,4) 
    By perceiving this change of command, it should be clear how the “daily sacrifices” of God’s chosen priesthood have been eliminated by those who claim to represent them!
    “Rather than challenge their authority, we truly appreciate our hardworking elders!” Wt 02/8/1 p. 13,14
    Back to the book of Malachi. God rebukes the priesthood for neglecting their priestly duties. (Mal 1:6,7,10; 3:8) It speaks of a messenger coming as “Elijah”, sent by God to His priests in the last days. (Mal 3:1-3; 4:4-6; Matt 17:11; Rev 11:1-3) 
    This messenger reveals the spiritual corruptive influence among God’s priests, and stresses the need for their repentance. (Mal 3:7-9) But, do they all listen? Are they all written in the “book of remembrance” that the governing leader spoke of? (Mal 1:4) As much as we desire it, can you imagine every anointed one and all JWs, rejecting the idol and its falsehoods? (Zech 2:6-9,11; Rev 18:4-8; 14:6-12) 
    Read Mal 2:1,2; Dan 9:11 -  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mal+2%3A1%2C2%3B+Dan+9%3A11+&version=CSB
    Under the spell of demonic expressions of the soothing promise of peace and security, God’s priests have allowed the arrogant evil slave and the man of lawlessness, to overcome them by their flood of lies. They are “drunk” on the Harlot’s wine. (Jer 6:13-15; 1 Thess 5:3; Luke 17:26,27; Rev 12:15; 17:1-5) 
    Read Mal 3:14,15 -  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mal+3%3A14%2C15&version=CSB
    It is incredible that G. Jackson even dare mention Malachi chapter 3, since it describes perfectly, what the Harlot is up to –
    Mal 3:5 - “I will come to judge you. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers, lying witnesses, and those who cheat workers out of their wages and oppress widows and orphans. I will also testify against those who deprive foreigners of their rights. None of them fear me,” says the Lord of Armies.
    God pleads with His people to resume their spiritual offerings that have been cut off, and to repent, acknowledge, and follow His decrees in Jesus Christ. He promises to pour out His mercy upon them, leading them to the spiritual bounty of truth in His Son:
    "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty. Mal 3:11,12
    John 15:1-8,16
    Yet, only those who “fear the Lord” respond to the messenger’s call whom He sends. (Zech 1:4-6; Dan 9:17,18; Mal 3:16) 
    That book of remembrance is the same one, as the Lamb's book of life. That book contains the names of those who through integrity and courage, have earned God's favor and spiritual protection (Rev 3:5; Phil 4:3; Isa 4:3; Rev 20:12)
    That book belongs to the Lamb (Rev 13:8; 21:27), because these are those to whom his blood will apply...(John 1:29; 1 Pet 1:19; Rev 12:11; 7:14; 1 Cor 5:7)   Pearl Doxsey
    “They will be mine,” says the Lord of Armies, “my own possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.
    18 So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.” Mal 3:17,18

    Maybe, it's because he support an "institution" that does the same?  And you support it also, every JW (unless they are waking up) supports it.  Disfellowshipping is a spiritual killing.  If one disagrees with the GB's teachings, if one will not accept a supposed spirit-breathed "beast" of an organization that requires devotion (which is not condoned but rather warned of in scripture as idolatry), they are condemned - killed off, through disfellowshipping.  If one speaks against lies while bearing truth; for certain, they will be disfellowshipped.  No rival to the power of the GB and the power of the elders can be challenged.
    Rev 13:15 - It (the false prophet Rev 13:11) was permitted to give breath[l]("spirit") to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

    Who came up with the term, "spirit-directed organization"?  It wasn't God, but deceitful leaders of that very organization that "kills", and who were permitted to do so by Satan.

    How many decrees has the GB set, explaining that they come from God, but are not decrees found in His word?  It is not possible for these uninspired men to receive direct information from God or through a "spirit-directed organization" on earth, which doesn't exist unless it is demon-inspired. (1 Tim 4:1; Rev 13:15) Any decrees that they establish, whether it be turning in time on a piece of paper, setting goals of hours in "field service", encouraging the reaching out for a status position, revering a building as belonging to God...all come from the mouths of prophets prophesying falsely, and counterfeit "priests" ruling by their own authority.

    But what will you do at the end of it?  Jer 5:30,31
    How many decrees has the GB set, explaining that they come from God, but are not decrees found in His word?  It is not possible for these uninspired men to receive direct information from God or through a "spirit-directed organization" on earth, which doesn't exist unless it is demon-inspired. (1 Tim 4:1; Rev 13:15) Any decrees that they establish, whether it be turning in time on a piece of paper, setting goals of hours in "field service", encouraging the reaching out for a status position, revering a building as belonging to God...all come from the mouths of prophets prophesying falsely, and counterfeit "priests" ruling by their own authority.

    I've just proven by my previous comment that it is JWs that are too weak to remain loyal to YHWH. 
    That is why honest hearted people are leaving the JW Org, because the ones that remain in the JW Org are the ones that love the immorality and dishonesty. And JWs that are pretending those things don't happen are actually making themselves part of the problem. 
    It would seem it is the Elders of the JW Org, along with the GB, that are the apostates, turning against YHWH and against Yeshua.  The people that leave JW Org are the ones guarding themselves against the sins of that Org.

    No, that's not the reasons people leave. The Child Sexual Abuse / Pedophile problem earth wide gave hundreds, if not thousands of JWs, a good reason to leave.  The false predictions of Armageddon, the lies of being in the last part of the last day, having to distribute those lies to members of the public via the Watchtower magazine. 
    There is no 'narrow road' within the JW community.  There is, immorality, adultery, child abuse, idol worship of the GB and the org, baptism of children as young as 6 years old and then disfellowshipping when those children cannot live up to GB standards, dictatorship by the GB and Elders based on man made rules and traditions. Demands for money in 'donations', misuse of congregants labour to build Kingdom Halls which the GB then sell at a profit. Hidden profits from the buying and selling of houses and business properties / real estate. And all the time pretending to be a charity. 
    Where is this narrow road in the JW Org ?  Yeshua didn't have a 'place to lay his head'. But most of you here will have a nice comfortable home. You must all have a computer or 'cell phone' / mobile phone for internet access. I would think you have good food in your stomach, good clothes on your back, and now you don't even have to leave home for your meetings. 
    "Can't be bothered" you say ?  I tell you this, it is more difficult to leave that Org, for the right reasons, knowing that over one hundred people in your local congregation will 'disown' you instantly, than to stay in that org and pretend it is the right place to be. 
    I know folks get fed up with me mentioning these things but it is just to give balance to the lies that Ex JWs are just too lazy or too selfish to remain in that Org.

    Allen sir,  I cannot be submissive to an earthly husband I no longer have.   Christ only, is my spiritual head, even when my husband was alive.  He never was my spiritual head, only my fleshly head.  But we worked together equally, with equal respect for one another.  "Headship" should be based on love, just as the scriptures in Ephesians 5:22-29 indicate.

    If you believe this organization is "spirit-directed", then the Spirit of God would gather the anointed together under Jesus Christ.  
    Since the anointed know "truth", it seems that every effort would be made to look to them as a collective body for spiritual understanding of scriptures, instead of to those who "represent the royal priesthood".   
    "But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him."  1 John 2:27

    Here's how I see the content of the quotes you cited.
    The trial should be conducted only by "saints".
    Are there enough "saints"? Who declares someone as "saint"? Is there a numerical limit to the number of people who can be “saints”?
    WTJWorg has doctrines, with which it would be difficult to solve these dilemmas.
    It is hypocritical of the Organization that male “saints” have the right to act as “kings and priests” already today, in a world where the Kingdom of Christ does not rule. Admittedly, WTJWorg believes that the Kingdom still rules over the Earth through the Organization. If so then female “saints” should have the same role as their male counterparts. Or maybe the solution is to change gender/sex to male with the help of surgery?

    Exactly, going by the Bible’s standards if nothing can change your brother or sisters stance on their sin by speaking to them in private or by having two or three go along with you yet they still don’t change, you’re then supposed to tell it to the whole church. The whole church would include women participating in the judicial process:
    https://biblia.com/bible/niv/matthew/18/15-17
    But the far greater sin of a JW is not involving the saints that God chose in any of the judicial processes which involve actual forgiving or not forgiving sins, but rather 3 commoners take on the matter in a secret room:
    “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?” 1 Corinthians 6:1
    And of course we know, once God anoints someone as a saint “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians. 3:28
    The priests are all of one body, male or female, they make up one body and are who Jesus put in charge of forgiving or not forgiving sins, but they are overlooked, actually, the proper word would be “trampled” (Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2).
    “And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” John 20:22-23

    Good Points 
    The Bible says that any congregational discipline has to be done before the entire congregation.
    Jehovah’s Witnesses do not do that.
    End of thought.
