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

    @Emma Rose  I thought I'd return to this that you wrote. Quote 
     Kind David had an illicit affair with a married woman and then sent her husband to the front line in order for him to be killed, he also numbered the people when he shouldn't have.  Jehovah did not depart from using King David to carry out His will.  Jehovah is also aware of the effects of sin and if His people are repentant, He forgives them,
    Now, did everyone in the Nation of Israel think King David was doing right when he committed those sins ? I would think that any person of that Nation that had a good relationship with God, would of hated the things King David was doing. The problem for those people was that they were 'of that Nation'. They had no choice but to remain 'of that Nation'. So there is no comparison between those people of the Nation of Israel (born into and belonging to that nation) with JWs that voluntarily remain part of the CCJW. 
    JWs still worship their GB and find no fault in them, even though the GB continue to sin.
    Your GB do not seem to be repentant. If they were they would stand down and let the True Anointed lead the CCJW. How can God forgive the GB when the GB have exalted themselves above all others, and the GB tread down the True Anointed Ones.
    The only thing the GB have done, after many years of lying, is to now admit that they are not Inspired of God's Holy Spirit. So your GB now admit that anything they say or write is just the words of 'men'. Please remember that, you are following the 'words of men'.

    @Emma Rose and @TrueTomHarley  are now a comedy duo it seems   Well done ! 
    Dear Emma seems naive but it could just be a ploy. And Tom, well he is as he is. He cannot find true answers to anything so he makes, what he thinks, are jokes. He is funny some times though and bit of humour is good. 
    The scripture Emma semi-quotes from Colossians 3 v 13 is spoken to the Anointed / Chosen Ones as can be seen in verse 12. And in my opinion the whole of the Greek Scriptures are written for those True Anointed Ones. However I actually have that scripture on a piece of paper hanging above my computer monitor, hence i knew what it was immediately. It does help in certain not too serious circumstances, but should not be used to cover over serious sins.
    Now Emma says "They're very hurt and angry." Lets note here that she is like Tom, and she lumps everyone together with that word 'they' / they are. It seems to be a problem with JWs, maybe because they are all one big congregation, that they cannot cope with individuals. Emma, every one of us is different and many of those that leave the CCJW have not 'lost their way'.  If you personally do not mind being part of a Pedophile protecting and Pedophile hiding Organisation, that is of course your own choice. And if you are prepared to turn your back on the Victims of Child Sexual Abuse just to please the GB and you Elders, that is also your choice. 
    I for one left the CCJW because my Christian based conscience would not allow me to continue to be part of such an immoral organisation and I could no longer encourage families to gather together in such a dangerous place as a Kingdom Hall or to gather with JWs that could possibly cause harm to children. Once the abuse has happened there is no turning the clock back. The damage is done permanently. 
    But the CSA / Pedophilia problem is just one of many problems in the CCJW.

    God’s dwelling since Moses, was the tabernacle – a mobile tent. (Exod 25:8,9)  He then acquiesced to allowing a temple to be built for Him. (1 Kings 6:1)  Christ comes to earth, and announced that the physical temple is no longer to be God’s dwelling, but that it will be his spiritual Body, built with “living stones”. (Isa 60:14,13; John 2:19-21; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22)  
    This is how it has been since the first century, and it still is in those faithful to Christ as their Head. The spiritual temple/dwelling of God - New Jerusalem/Holy City, has replaced the physical temple. (Heb 12:22,23; Rev 14:1)
     Where does your physical organization fit in?  God never had an “organization” on earth, but a nation of people, with many foreigners joining in with them.  They worshiped God, firstly through His tabernacle, and then through the temple.  It was the only avenue to worship God, where His appointed priesthood served God as ministers and judges for the people. (Deut 17:9; Lev 10:10,11;Ezek 44:24) With Christ, God established the foundation of His new House/Temple (also mobile) in the apostles and prophets, and it has grown throughout years with added, sealed, “living stones”.  (Eph 2:20-22)
    But right when the anointed remnant shows up, a change is made – at the time when the Great Tribulation/Armageddon, is destined to occur.  No longer is the spiritual Temple of God the focal point, but it is an EARTHLY, PHYSICAL organization that dares to call itself, God’s House.  I don’t remember anything in the scriptures about Jesus saying God’s Temple would be set aside for an organization, built with riches that Satan has been given authority over.   But I do know, that a “man of lawlessness” rules over God’s Temple in the last days, and exalts itself far above the “living stones”. (Dan 8:25;11:36; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3) 
    This “man of lawlessness”, your elder body, has been given authority  by your leaders, to judge and mark them - God’s priesthood -  as spiritually “dead”. When does this happen? It happens when they reject the organization, and turn back to God’s Temple, and their Head, Jesus Christ.   (John 16:2; Heb 13:13; Rev 13:15; 11:1-3,7)
    God’s people “Israel” are the “chosen”/special possession, anointed to fulfill their role as priests. (Isa 43:10; 1 Pet 2:5,9) Yet, many JWs say just as you have, “Of course I'm aware of who the anointed are, I personally knew 2 of them, lovely sisters, so humble and it makes me smile to think of them in their heavenly role"...without realizing that your organization has trampled down God’s priesthood. Their "role" is to be active while they are on earth, just as the apostles, and those who followed them throughout the centuries.  They were sent by Christ to preach Truth.  Instead, in your organization, they are told to keep silent, and not to gather as a priesthood, because your organization has chosen its own priesthood to fill its own role.   (John 13:20; Matt 28:16-20)  This priesthood baptizes people into the organization.  It doesn't follow Christ's words given to his disciples, in any manner.  It baptizes people into darkness, not into the light of Christ.  When I see elders baptizing at conventions wearing black shirts, I think how fitting a symbol, for the lawlessness they represent. 
    Since 1 Cor 3:16 states that the anointed are the dwelling of God in Spirit, we have a problem with this comparatively young organization calling itself, God’s House.    Which do you choose to accept as God’s House?  An organization that suffers in the court systems, refusing to follow court orders (since money is involved); suffers in various governments in the world, and that has a history of failed, false teachings?   Or, do you accept what the scriptures show us that God’s “organized” Temple built on Jesus Christ, is His anointed priesthood and the only dwelling that God has chosen?
    You said...
    I read all of our beautiful Watchtowers and Awakes and savour every word, here is purity in it's finest form.
    In light of past false teachings, how can you say their spiritual food is “pure”?  I seriously hope you do your homework.
    Tabernacle – Solomon’s Temple – 2nd Temple – God’s spiritual Temple in Christ – followed by a corrupt organization at the last minute?  Blasphemy and deceit. (Rev 13:1,4,5-8) 
    If anyone perceives the “man of lawlessness”/disgusting thing – the elder body – “sitting” in the Temple of God, they are to flee from  the organization.  Mat 24:15-22

    That is blinding yourself by making excuses for your conscience. God and Christ could not use such an immoral Org. Immoral and dishonest. Lacking mercy and love. Making up 'traditions of men' to rule over the congregation.
    What God has in truth is the Remnant of the True Anointed Ones on earth.
    But your GB act as the Evil slave from the Matthew scripture, and that Evil slave 'beats up' their fellow slaves (the True Anointed ones). Your GB have put it in writing in the Watchtower magazine that those Anointed Ones should not meet together for prayer or Bible study, and if they do meet together your GB say they are 'working against the Holy spirit'.  I do hope you read all your Watchtower magazines and that you have read these things. If your conscience thinks these things are good then you have a problem. 
    Do you even look at the Biblical scripture for baptism ? To baptise in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then have you considered the JW baptism ? It baptises people into the Organisation. 
    You GB have created a stumbling block to all people. The CCJW is known as a Pedophile organisation 
    Earthwide. So the GB have worked for the devil in bringing shame on God and Christ.

    He provides the rain and the sun, the natural gifts of the earth. He provides sustenance and clothing to those who are obedient to His will through Jesus Christ.  Luke 12:22-28
     We do know that Satan made it clear what he has control over:
    "Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”  Luke 4:5-7
    Of course they will.   It is those who are deceived by false christs, false messiahs, false prophets that lead one to believe they are serving God completely, but they are not.  Which is exactly what happens to the anointed "saints" in the last days.   (Matt 24:4,5,23,24; 7:15; Acts 20:29-30; Rev 13:11, 14-17)  These saints are actually conquered by deceit. (Col 2:8; Rev 13:7,10)  The false prophets work in unison with an organization, to blaspheme and overcome the Temple dwelling of God.  (Matt 24:48-51; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Rev 13:5-7)

    Who will be taking part in the “worldwide campaign” of letter writing to all government officials in November?  I would guess most all JWs, actually.   This will be done with the sender’s personal letterhead, not that of the Watchtower organization.  Under this change of JWs referred to as “individuals” and not members, it is clear that any antagonistic, unsettled, divisive government official that gets buried with such letters, could very well respond negatively to the sender/senders.   The GB and their the organization is off the hook, since they can say, “individuals” wrote these letters. As we know, "individuals" "exist as a distinct entity".  The GB's lawyers could very well say, “See?" as they pull out the Shephard the Flock book with its most recent changes, “We don’t have members.   THEY are individuals responsible for any consequences of their actions!” 
    A trap within a trap!  Please, JWs, if we are faithful to God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, would they hang us out to dry, as your leadership is planning to do?  You might want to ask if the GB is writing their letters to their government officials, as well.  Also, be sure to ask if they plan on addressing and signing their letters, as you will do with yours...which is a big mistake.

    Not all idolatry can be recognized through a tangible image, such as praying or worshiping before a statue. 
    The Wt clarifies:
    #1 - “As Christians, we face up to similar challenges today. We cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry—be it worshipful gestures toward an image or symbol or the imputing of salvation to a person or an organization. (1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:21)”   Wt 90/11/1/26
    The nation of Israel was just as prone to idolatry as the Catholic church is today.   While the Catholic Church has its obvious sources of idolatry, as in God's early nation,  how would Satan deceive his “saints”, into a “modern version” of idolatry?  JWs admit they have many of the same problems as other organizations, such as child abuse; yet they believe they are pure when it comes to idol worship.   How can the straw be extracted from the eye of others, without first the Wt org. extracting the rafter in its own eye and the eye of all who are part of it. 
    How do the anointed fall into idolatry in the last days?
    This is how:
    #2 - "Bible students need to get acquainted with the organization of the “one flock” Jesus spoke about at John 10:16. They must appreciate that identifying themselves with Jehovah’s organization is essential to their salvation. (Rev. 7:9, 10, 15) Therefore, we should start directing our Bible students to the organization as soon as a Bible study is established."  Kingdom Ministry 11/1990 p. 1  “Directing Bible Students to Jehovah’s Organization”
    This statement is so foreign to me now.  We should be directing people to the Father and the Son, NOT to an earthly organization. I don’t know of any other religious organization that projects the image that it is “spirit-directed”, and proclaims to be the source of salvation.  I do not know of any other organization where the authentic anointed “saints” are found; and who have ‘identified’/dedicated themselves with it.  It is a modern-day version of idolatry, just as the first quote states.
    The checkpoint to perceive if this organization is an idol that has settled into one’s heart and mind, would be to ask oneself if leaving this organization and serving God, “whole-souled”, is possible.  (Deut 6:5; Mark 12:30)  Well, it isn’t possible for those fully dedicated to the organization. There is no way to tear them from their idol, no matter what they may suffer for being part of it.  (Isa 48:18; Rev 16:2)  They believe that by leaving the Wt, they have left God.   God, the GB/”head”, the organization, its elder body, are as one; a full contradiction to the oneness of the Father, Jesus Christ head of the anointed Body, and His dwelling in the anointed “living stones” of His Temple.  (John 17:22; 1 Cor 3:16,17; 1 Cor 12:13,20,25)
    In Revelation, the same Beast that “makes war” with the saints, requires an identifying “mark”.  If anyone rejects this identification, they are spiritually, symbolically, “killed”.  (Rev 13:5-7,15)
    Since this organization touts it is the path of salvation, it has convinced its people to ask, where else would one go to receive everlasting life? (John 6:68)  They reason, if it is God’s organization, what other entity is there in the world, that can defeat it? 
    Isn’t that what you believe will happen in your Armageddon? That this organization is the only entity to escape a bloody onslaught destined to come upon the rest of the world?
    The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. 4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to wage war against it?”  Rev 13:3b,4
    Rev 13:15a - It was permitted to give breath[l] (“or a spirit or life”)to the image of the beast…
    This is a counterfeit fulfillment to Jesus “breathing” spirit into the foundation stones of the spiritual Temple of God.  (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17)
    Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22 After saying this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”  John 20:21-23
    Who is it in the organization that has been directed to forgive sins?  It is the elder body, a counterfeit “body” of priests not anointed.   They have seized this authority of the “living stones” of God’s Temple.  Are not the elders deemed as having Holy Spirit?  They are the stones that have built your idol – your temple. 
    …so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.”  Rev 13:15b
    The Beast kills the “two witnesses” sent by Christ for rejecting its identifying mark and for their testimony of Jesus Christ.  (Rev 11:1-3,7)  Now, we know this honestly did not have its fulfillment in Rutherford’s escapade of jail time.  That ploy of Satan’s, would be the counterfeit fulfillment happening today.  Anointed and all today, who, by their testimony of Christ, and reject the organization’s “mark”, are disfellowshipped.  (Luke 9:24; 17:33; Rev 11:7; 12:10-12)
    16 “And it makes everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of its name.
    Spiritual food, the buying and selling of it, is only possible if one is a JW dedicated to the organization; It can only be bought from the “slave” – a wicked one.  (Matt 24:48-51)
    18 This calls for wisdom: Let the one who has understanding calculatethe number of the beast, because it is the number of a person. Its number is 666.”
    666 – the “man of lawlessness” who sits in the Temple of God, exalted over the anointed priesthood and who has been given the authority to forgive sins, and the authority to “kill” God’s “living stones”.  (Matt 24:14;Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2)
    A spirit-directed idol requires a mark that signifies who belong to it.  God requires a mark also, outlined in Deut 11:18-23
    “Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates, 21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. 22 For if you carefully observe every one of these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, and remain faithful to him— 23 the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will drive out nations greater and stronger than you are.
    Ask yourselves, JWs, can you dedicate yourself to the heavenly Father AND to an earthly organization in Satan’s world? (Isa 40:25; Matt 6:24)
    Can you accept decrees made by men AND also accept the established decrees set by Christ and the apostles? (Matt 15:9; 1 John 4:8;2 John 1:9-11; Titus 1:9; 2 Tim 4:3; Col 2:8)
     The two contradictory quotes from the Watchtower above, should show that they are not sourced in Jesus Christ. He would not confuse his servants by saying one thing, and insisting on them observing an opposite teaching.  No, it would be the same spirit from the same father that the Pharisees were led by. (Isa 5:20; John 8:44)  The same spirit that “floods” the anointed, with lies.  (Luke 17:27; Rev 12:15; 16:13-16; 20:7-9)

    I’ve known that you put your personal twist on your own organization’s teachings, yet you steadfastly would support it with every fiber of your body.  Is there such a thing as a hypocrite with two hypocritical faces? What do you think, Allen?  How many masks do you wear? 
    If you could only see that your hypocrisy removes any validity to your statements regarding the anointed, Body of Christ, priesthood, "144,000"; as well as the Temple of God, Holy City, New Jerusalem, Bride of Christ.   They are all...one in the same, the dwelling of God's Spirit, and Christ, with his anointed "saints".  
     
     “The word hypocrite ultimately came into English from the Greek word hypokrites, which means “an actor” or “a stage player.” The Greek word itself is a compound noun: it’s made up of two Greek words that literally translate as “an interpreter from underneath.” That bizarre compound makes more sense when you know that the actors in ancient Greek theater wore large masks to mark which character they were playing, and so they interpreted the story from underneath their masks.
    The Greek word took on an extended meaning to refer to any person who was wearing a figurative mask and pretending to be someone or something they were not. This sense was taken into medieval French and then into English, where it showed up with its earlier spelling, ypocrite, in 13th-century religious texts to refer to someone who pretends to be morally good or pious in order to deceive others. (Hypocrite gained its initial h- by the 16th century.)
    It took a surprisingly long time for hypocrite to gain its more general meaning that we use today: “a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.” Our first citations for this use are from the early 1700s, nearly 500 years after hypocrite first stepped onto English’s stage. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/hypocrite-meaning-origin

    Um idolatry. Worshipping the GB by believing every word they say or write, and by believing they are the F&DS.
    Idolatry.  Worshipping the CCJW organisation by believing and teaching others that one 'has to be a baptised JW to be saved' 
    Idolatry. Believing books and magazines written by the GB and their helpers, instead of believing God's written word.
    Indeed JWs are guilty of idolatry and have been since the Bible Student era. 
    JWs have believed so many lies and false predictions and still do.

    Unless you give me scripture to dispute who God's priesthood is, and the "man of lawlessness" that "sits"/rules over them, your words are meaningless.  
    I am considering that not all of them in the line of Wt. leadership were/are anointed.  I believe some possibly may have risen in the rank of the "Gentile" elder body, especially recently.   Being anointed does not secure one's heavenly position to 'shine like stars' in the Kingdom of God.  (Dan 12:3; 2 Pet 3:17)  Rev 8:10,11 tells us that a very bright "star" called "Wormwood" poisons the rivers (teachings)  and springs of water (which come from the heart), causing death to those who drink it in.   
    Jesus said,  Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”  John 7:38
    In the time of the end, Satan uses false teachings springing forth from the hearts of corrupt teachers,  to flood God's holy people, the "kings of the earth" (Rev 1:5;5:10), with deceptive teachings.  (Rev 12:15; 16:13-16)
    This, is how the anointed fall from their "secure position":

    I am considering that not all of them in the line of Wt. leadership were/are anointed.  I believe some possibly may have risen in the rank of the "Gentile" elder body, especially recently.   Being anointed does not secure one's heavenly position to 'shine like stars' in the Kingdom of God.  (Dan 12:3; 2 Pet 3:17)  Rev 8:10,11 tells us that a very bright "star" called "Wormwood" poisons the rivers (teachings)  and springs of water (which come from the heart), causing death to those who drink it in.   
    Jesus said,  Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”  John 7:38
    In the time of the end, Satan uses false teachings springing forth from the hearts of corrupt teachers,  to flood God's holy people, the "kings of the earth" (Rev 1:5;5:10), with deceptive teachings.  (Rev 12:15; 16:13-16)
    This, is how the anointed fall from their "secure position":

    This might give you a better understanding of what was going on that day:
    “In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” (Ps 69:9)
    18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
    19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
    20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”  John 2:14-22
     
    In the organization, God’s House, His dwelling (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16) has turned into a spiritual “marketplace”.  In exchange for forking over their priesthood, the anointed “stones” of the Temple, slave for men; not only by purchasing “spiritual food” with money, but they have exchanged their devotion and dedication to the true God, for something men have created – the earthly organization.  (Rom 1:21-25; Rev 13:2,4,11,15-17)
    So, yes, Jesus is now saying again, “Zeal for your house will consume me”. 
    1 Cor 3:17 – “If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”
    Since each anointed one is God's "Temple", how do feel about your elder body replacing God's priesthood?
    No, it's more like the Wt. is mocking the Body of Jesus Christ.  It is mocking God's new arrangement that Jesus spoke of that day, when he drove out the money changers from the existing temple.  You seem to believe the Wt. has replaced that early temple.  Well, it certainly has tried. (Dan 8:11) Too many who have left the organization now realize what the assignment of God's "living stones" is, and how Zion will rise above your "mountain".  (Isa 2:1-22) 
    Do you understand what Jesus meant?

    You jump from one subject / topic to another bringing in all sorts of points from all different directions, but you say nothing of any use to any true servant of God. 
    It is me that says your GB are not of the True Anointed. Maybe they once were, but they have given their hearts to the devil by exalting themselves above all other Anointed ones and pretending they are the F&DS...  They make false predictions and make up rules and tell deliberate lies. They use dishonest Lawyers in courts to tell lies on their behalf.  Evil dwells in the hearts of your GB and they have proven it by their words and actions.

    Quote @César Chávez You blame Jesus for setting a standard of going to the Synagogue or temple for prayer and teaching.
    Oh yes, that Temple was soooo important that GOD had it destroyed in 70 C E by the Romans. 
    I don't actually remember the Apostles building physical Temples. Do you know why ?
    Simple answer. BECAUSE THE ANOINTED ARE THE TEMPLE. NOT A PHYSICAL BUILDING. 
    So now you have a problem because you are saying that 'a building' is important, BUT GOD did not defend that Temple made of stone. 
    GOD replaced that Temple with a spiritual Temple, that is the True Anointed Ones, the Brothers of Christ.

    ...or people can decide to not buy cars and go by foot :)) so they will not have problem with parking cars on wrong places.
    This mantra about "core teachings". What is the real meaning of that phrase? What this have to do with JW's spiritual and real position inside WT Corporative Religion System? Do you obligated to listen and believe in some doctrines and/but not to others that are less "core"? Does your "unity" depend only on "core teachings" or on all doctrines that are "unique" only to JW Religion?
    How you make choices and decisions that some teachings are core and other are not?
    What about "to be faithful in small and large things"?
    What GB doing in Warwick? :))
    Russell, Rutherford and similar "fathers" ? Or today's  "fathers"? Does this time "of not to be afraid" is passed or will come in the future?
    WT Lawyers and other Representatives"will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake", and give false, mislead and semi-true testimonies and claims. 
    Where GB beg for favor? UN, OSCE, Human Rights Institutions, Courts, Ambassadors,  Secular Presidents ..., etc?

    The true core teachings in Jesus Christ and the apostles, have been taught and believed in, for the last 2,000 years.  It didn’t take an established religion to preserve those teachings, but only an individual’s heart inclined to follow them.(John 4:23,24; Matt 13:3-9) The faithful anointed and believers in Christ did not disappear after the apostles died.  Is that what you believe?  God’s “organization” has always been present in the faithful “living stones” of His Temple – His authentic Zion. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17)
    Satan has upended this truth, by presenting established “Christian” religions with a centralized authority, since the first century.  Your religion is only different from other established “Christian” religions, because it has captivated God’s remnant “Israel” in the last days, the very people who are to worship only in spirit and in truth.  They gravitated to morsels of truth, and tolerated the made up stories that accompanied them. (Luke 22:31; Col 2:8; Rev 2:8-10; 13:10)
    If someone offered you a pail of rotten food that smothered  chunks of fresh bread scattered throughout, would you eat it?  This is what you offer your ‘hearers’, and what you tolerate.  The Pharisees taught the laws of Moses, but Christ condemned them.  John told them “The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”  Mark 3:10    If the teachers of the law faced this condemnation, why do you believe that a few teachings of truth will save your teachers/”trees” and organization from God’s condemnation?  It shows that you put a higher value on man’s words, than the words of God and Christ.  Perhaps you put a higher value on your words, than those of Christ.
    “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” Mark 8:15
    You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
    8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
        but their hearts are far from me.
    9 They worship me in vain;
        their teachings are merely human rules.’”  Matt 15:7-9
    33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”  Matt 12:33-36
    “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”  1 Tim 4:16
     
    I doubt you even read the quote from Zechariah.  And, I believe you should research the meaning of the word, "truth".   
    "Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
        but the prudent hold their tongues."  Prov 10:19
    “Whoever would love life
        and see good days
    must keep their tongue from evil
      and their lips from deceitful speech."  1 Pet 3:10
