11/25/2020 Letter to JW Congregations

Dear friends,

I remember when I was little, in the 1970’s, as a Jehovah’s Witness, my mother would pour over publications, especially the Aid book and study God’s temple arrangement.  She taught us that the duties of the Aaronic/Levitical priesthood were the only appointed temple workers, according to the Mosaic Law, designated to offer sacrifices for God’s chosen people, Israel (Leviticus 8).  The Mosaic Law with this priesthood arrangement foreshadowed the spiritual priesthood (Col. 2:17; Heb. 7:18,19).  The Old Testament contains many instances when ancient Israel remained in God’s favor, but also recorded their repeated times of waywardness and loss of God’s favor.  When the Israelites rebelled, prophets of old who were sent to warn them of their need for repentance.  Ezekiel is one prophet who was given a message of judgment to Israel; his vision describes the removal of God’s presence from the temple of Jerusalem because of the evil they had done.  What did Israel do that caused God’s disapproval and removal of favor? 

Ezekiel 44:6 “You must say to the rebellious house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “That is enough of your detestable practices, O house of Israel. 7 When you bring foreigners who are uncircumcised in heart and flesh into my sanctuary, they profane my temple. You present my bread, fat and blood, while my covenant is being broken because of all your detestable practices. 8 You have not taken care of my holy things.  Instead, you assign others to take care of the duties in my sanctuary.”  9 “’This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “No foreigner living in Israel who is uncircumcised in heart and in flesh may enter my sanctuary.”’

My friends, we know the Mosaic Law has been taken away, and that the priesthood today is made up of spiritual Israelites, those God called and chose to be anointed.

“These serve as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle. For God said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.” (Heb. 8:5).

In place of actual “oil” that Moses used to anoint the Aaronic priesthood with to indicate their duty as priests in the Temple, today, spiritual Israelites are given “a token”/”Holy Spirit.”  “But you also hoped in him after you heard the word of truth, the good news about your salvation. After you believe, you were sealed by means of him with the promised holy spirit, which is a token in advance of our inheritance, for the purpose of releasing God’s own possession by a ransom, to his glorious praise.” (Eph. 1:13,14)

“5 you yourselves as living stones [anointed] are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies” of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 For you were once not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not been shown mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Pet. 2)

Oh, but the waywardness and judgments against ancient Israel for straying according to the “pattern” of God’s temple were recorded for us, as an example, “…they were written for a warning to us…” (1 Cor. 10:13b).  The “man of lawlessness” has been revealed, the “foreigner” who “sits down in the spiritual Temple of God, “the disgusting things that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet standing in a holy place” (Matt. 25:15; 2 Thess. 2:3,4).  Anointed are being desolated by those not consecrated, men not anointed by God to serve in the spiritual Temple.  This is a rebellion! Just as ancient Israel strayed and placed foreigners in the Temple of God! 

The self-appointed “steward” over the household of anointed, the governing body, has ignored the temple arrangement and has destroyed the Temple of God by appointing non-consecrated elders and overseers, NOT anointed individuals, placing them over anointed ones.  Such ones have not been chosen by God, they have not been given “a token”/holy spirit, and are not to teach anointed.  “I write you these things about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but the anointing from his is teaching you about all things and is true and is no lie. Just as it has taught you, remain in union with him.” (1 John 2:26,27).

This letter serves as a warning to you.  Take heed and flee!  If you do not, Jesus warns that you WILL share in her sins and receive “part of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4)!

11/23/2020 Letter to JW Congregations

 Dear Friends,

Watchtower- Study article 31 - Par. 5 “How did Abraham show that he was waiting for the city, or Kingdom, designed by God? First, Abraham did not join himself to any earthly kingdom. He remained a nomad, choosing not to settle down and give his support to a human king. In addition, Abraham did not try to set up his own kingdom. Instead, he kept obeying Jehovah and waited for Him to fulfill His promise.”  Did you read that, as I did?!   If Abraham did not join a man-made kingdom, why are you? WHO told you that you must belong/“worship” a physical organization - Watchtower, to receive life?  Did our Father say to do this? Did He set up a physical org and then His Spirit experience static when communicating truth to that org, unable and incapable of clearly communicating truths to it?  Preposterous!  True prophets’ teachings do not rot...do not expire. Do Watchtower teachings rot/expire?

“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. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them” (Matt. 7:15-20).  Oh, but you know as well as I do whose fruit/teachings rot and expire. And yet you put up with them! Watchtower falsehoods, and eat of their fruit, their teachings that constantly change and do not come to fruition, e.g., 1975, before 20th century, “this” generation (Deut. 18:20-22).  From the depth of my heart there is sorrow for you, your hope set in sand that constantly shifts. Always waiting for “new light,” none of which remains shining. But always grows dim. I have been a part of that organization for over 30 years. No “light” stayed lit.

You and your hope set in a physical dwelling, a trademark (jw dot org) you worship and “report time” to, what a sad plight you are in.  Who has commissioned this, our Father, His son, Jesus? Never had it entered Their minds to build high places, physical places, where you must bow before men to reach Their approval! What has been set up is a spiritual temple, recall?  (1 Pet. 2:5).

Yet, the waywardness of ancient Israel arises again, they a people, who time and again strayed and fell into idolatry, making a physical representation of God, something always warned against. Ancient prophets sent by God to warn them time and again of the destruction to come because of their idolatry. And yet we see this repeated, to this day, but oh so subtle this time. Instead of a golden calf, you have a website that represents the entire Watchtower entity. Business cards, lapel pins, logos, and more. You have fallen for Satan’s ultimate form of deceptive idolatry. Had it been so obvious you surely would have recognized and rejected it outright. Crafty, indeed! “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them” (Jon.2:8).  “Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God”(Lev. 19:4).  You who are streaming to a self-proclaimed “earthly mountain-like” organization. You who never feel good enough no matter what or how much you do for Watchtower.  Why? Because you are not worshipping God, but striving to please men. “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Gal. 1:10).

But you WANT to worship God! Instead though, you have been tricked, fooled into serving man, and an idol - Watchtower. Something God nor Jesus commanded to do.  Listen!  “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.” (Acts 17:24).  “"However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says” (Acts 7:48). “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." (John 4:24).

 “Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the LORD.” (Jer.51:45).

Of course, stay, if you want, but Jesus warns that you WILL share in her plagues. “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;” (Rev 18:4).

 “Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.” (1 Cor. 10:14). 

Ezekiel 14:6 “...Come back to me and leave your filthy idols. Turn away from those terrible, false gods.”

10/1/2020 Response to "apostate" video by A.Morris, GB of Watchtower

[This letter was written and sent in response to A.Morris' morning worship clip on the topic of apostates; the infamous one where he lit a match and blew it out]

10/1/2020

Dear Brother Morris,                                                                                                                               

It is my sincere hope that this letter finds you calmer and less agitated.  I watched your video broadcast and saw how disturbed you became when talking about the destruction of “apostates.”  I feared for you as you became overtaken with murderous desire as you held, lit, and blew out a single small matchstick.  What spirit overcame you brother?  Whose father were you imitating?  Carefully consider John 8:44 and Isaiah 33:1.  Why do you assert God and Jesus are murderers when we are told through scripture who the murderer from the beginning was, the wicked one, the destroyer.    Ultimate justice will certainly come though through God and Jesus who have the ability to either protect or surrender individuals to the wicked one, but why do you project onto Them your own craving for destruction?  Who will be protected, false prophets with false teachings? 

* False teachings such as Jehovah has a physical “mountain-like organization.” Where in the scriptures did the Father or Jesus ever tell people to attach themselves to an idol organization for salvation?  Nowhere!  But, the scriptures do prophesy of such a detestable thing to occur. Prophetic warnings abound throughout the Bible regarding the waywardness of God’s people, today, among a false prophet in the spiritual Temple of God, among his chosen…a detestable deed…subjugating anointed under the authority of not anointed Gentiles, elders/overseers.  What have you done!  “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Cor 3:16,17).

* False teachings such as Armageddon is a physical battle with God and Jesus using actual fire to destroy all those who are not a Jehovah’s Witness.  Look up the scriptures referenced, words are fire and swords (Jer. 23:29; 1 Peter 1:6,7; Psalm 104:4; Prov. 25:18; Psalm 55:21; Rev. 19:15; 1:16; 2:16).  Fire and sword are used by God’s prophets to destroy lies by false prophets. “That is why I will cut them down by means of the prophets; I will kill them with the words of my mouth. And the judgments on you will shine as the light.” (Hosea 6:5). 

There you stood in the video broadcast, a bold-faced false prophet spouting false teachings, referencing Isaiah 66, condemning yourself.  Isa.66:15, "Look, the LORD will come with fire -his chariots are like the whirlwind - to execute his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For the LORD will execute judgment on all people with his fiery sword, and many will be slain by the LORD. 22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making will remain standing before me,” declares Jehovah, “so your offspring and your name will remain.” 23 “And from new moon to new moon and from sabbath to sabbath, All flesh will come in to bow down before me,” says Jehovah. 24 “And they will go out and look on the carcasses of the men who rebelled against me; For the worms on them will not die, And their fire will not be extinguished, And they will become something repulsive to all people.”

By the same word the present heaven and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. – 2 Pet. 3:7. 

“Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot listen to my word.” – Jesus, [John 8:43].

9/27/2020 Letter to JW friends

Dear Friends, I hope this letter finds you well, and that this letter from a fellow Jehovah’s Witness provides encouragement and scriptural truth to you during these wicked days. The following scriptural admonition to “test all things” (1 Thess. 5:21) was included in the bible for our day, because over time, many would arise who would claim to teach in the name of God but in fact, be false prophets. Surely you are aware by now of Brother Jackson’s testimony given at the Australian Royal Commission inquiry regarding their policy on child sex abuse. If not, watch, or read the transcripts, both of which I have done. You can find transcripts on the Australian governmental website: childabuseroyalcommission.gov/au/case-studies/case-study-29-jehovahs-witnesses. Brother Jackson testified under oath and called himself and the governing body, “Guardians of Doctrine.” He also said something quite startling and contradictive to what they have always presented to be or insinuated. Brother Jackson said that it would be quite presumptuous for the governing body to considerable themselves “to be the only spokesperson for God.” Not only is the uncovering of their treatment of child and adult victims of child sex abuse a disgrace, but they have brought extreme reproach, claiming to everyone that they speak for God, but bringing the greatest reproach on God’s name (widely known name) by their abhorrent behavior, behavior and blasphemous words that do not represent God who “is love” (1 John 4:8). The February 2017 Watchtower, paragraph 12 article, “Who is Leading God’s People Today?” states, “The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.” The governing body act as prophets, and equate their organization to Jehovah. “Return to Jehovah,” “left Jehovah” are common phrases you hear regarding those who formerly associated or were baptized into Watchtower. Does Watchtower represent the Most High? Matthew 7:15 says, “Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?” So what are the “fruits” spoken of by Jesus? Fruits are teachings. This scripture is explaining that you will recognize a true prophet from a false by what they teach. Does the teaching that claims to be truth, endure? Or does the teaching expire and need to be replaced…you can dress up the word replaced with “clarified” or “light getting brighter,” but it is still simply a teaching replaced by a new teaching. Or teachings that vacillate, going from new truths, back to the former or previous truths, then back to new. How blasphemous to say one speaks for Jehovah and Jesus but then change teachings “from Them,” which by doing so call God and Jesus liars! We are not ignorant to Watchtower teachings expiring. The organization historically has made predictions of end time expectations, dates that came and went (i.e., 1975, “end of twentieth century”) failed calculations using “this generation,” all of which were replaced by “new light.” They are false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20 “But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.” Where does our loyalty lay, with our Father and Jesus, or with men who claim to speak for God and Jesus, but whose teachings prove they are false prophets? Where will you go to receive life? Look at what Simon Peter asked Jesus in John 6:68 “Lord, whom shall we go away to?” Simon Peter didn’t ask where to go! In John 14:6 Jesus told Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Many of us have been raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses, and some have apostatized from being a Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, etc. No matter how we became members of Watchtower, we have the mindset that we must belong to a man-made organization for salvation. What does Jesus say? Look at John 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Paul emphasized this to the early Christians in Acts 17:24, “The God who made the world and all the things in it, being, as he is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples.” As you also recall, upon Jesus’ resurrection, the physical Temple of God was replaced by a spiritual Temple of God. Spiritual Israelites make up today’s Temple of God - the anointed household – with Christ as the cornerstone (Eph. 2:20). Is the spiritual Temple of God made up of only a few anointed, eight? Or are all anointed part of God’s Temple today? 1 Pet. 2:5 “you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies” of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Cor. 3:16 “Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that the spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple.” 1 John 2:26 “I write you these things about those who are trying to mislead you. 27 And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but the anointing from him is teaching you about all these things and is true and is no lie. Just as it has taught you, remain in union with him.” Has the governing body told fellow anointed ones to remain quiet, to “not bond together,” and appointed over to teach them, the Temple of God, not-anointed elders/overseers? Just as ancient Israel, spiritual Israel has defiled the Temple of God, handing it over to not consecrated “priests.” What happened to Uzziah will happen to them. 2 Chron. 26:16 “But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.” Remember 1 Cor. 3:17? “…If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him..” Friends, “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4). An army of spiritual “Gentiles” are defiling the Temple of God, spiritual Israelites. This, this is “the disgusting things that causes desolation, as spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment” (Matt. 24:15). Dan. 8:11 “It exalted itself even against the Prince of the army, and from him the constant feature was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.” Dan. 11:31 “And arms will stand up, proceeding from him; and they will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the constant feature. “And they will put in place the disgusting thing that causes desolation.” You and you alone answer to our Father and Jesus. Watchtower is not your mediator. Will you heed Matt. 24:16 and Rev. 18:4? The recent Watchtower July 2020 article said to “build your house of faith, use not only soft materials as feelings and emotions, but also hard facts and solid logic.” So then, friends, “test all things,” real truth always stands up to scrutiny. False prophets whose teachings expire, according to Deuteronomy 18:20-22, they are not to be feared. Warm Christian love, Rachel Roman Please feel free to email me with any questions: lifeswaterfree4u@gmail.com Test all things (1 Thess.5:21) – this is another anointed person who has written extensively conveying Jesus’ truthful teachings: https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/01/is-wicked-steward-real.html

9/23/2020 Letter to G.Loesch, GB of Watchtower

 

9/18/2020

Dear Brother Loesch,                                                                                                                          

I have been a Jehovah’s Witness all my life, having been raised from birth.  My mother raised us to be well-versed, teaching us that ancient Israel was a parallel for spiritual Israel, the anointed today.  When thinking of the history of God’s people, and the many Old Testament books, prophets of old have always recorded warnings for God’s chosen people, Israel, who historically, repeated their waywardness.  Even the apostle Paul warned Christ’s brothers of repeating their forefathers’ rebelliousness.

1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come,” and 12 “So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.”  Have you ever wondered whether you, even though sincerely thinking you are standing firm, are in fact leaving the road to life…repeating history?  Prov. 5:6 “She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.”

I watched you on the broadcast when you said, and I am paraphrasing, that Jehovah speaks to Jesus, and Jesus speaks to the “faithful slave,” which you infer is the “governing body.” I could see that you did not even trust what you yourself were uttering, that you have doubts.  Why are you afraid to “test all things” (1 Thess. 5:21) as we are commanded to do?   When you had read Acts 7:48-50, you realized Jehovah/YHVH does not dwell in a physical organization, a man-made dwelling like Jerusalem as the Jewish leaders thought in Jesus’ day, so why are you replacing God’s Holy Temple with an idol, an idol made up and subjugated by not anointed priests, elders and overseers?  The anointed are “built together” for God’s dwelling in the spirit, they are His Holy Temple with Christ as the cornerstone (1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:20-22; 1 Pet. 2:5).  1 Cor. 12:12 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.” 

You are not part of deceiving the chosen ones into replacing their obedience to Christ and enforcing their subjugation under the man of lawlessness, this abomination –not-anointed overseers - telling them to remain silent, are you? (Rev. 13:14,15; 19:20).  Or do you strongly, but wrongly believe the Watchtower organization is properly modeled after God’s Temple outlined in the Bible?  Read your Bible on this sacred arrangement.

You are a humble man, and wonder why the disciples of Christ today, the anointed, are elevated above their brothers and sisters in Christ and honored with beautiful free accommodations at the Warwick compound.  Is there a similarity between the early disciples and apostles and those “chosen” today who receive adulation and are provided free housing on “Kings Drive” as you and the other governing body members?  No, but this was foretold long ago and is finding fulfillment now.  1 Cor. 4:8 “Are you already satisfied? Are you already rich? Have you begun ruling as kings without us? I really wish that you had begun ruling as kings so that we also might rule with you as kings.”

Ezekiel 16:13 “Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. 14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God. 15 “But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it. 16 You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be. 17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them. 18 You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them. 19 Also My food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God.
20 Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 21 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire? 22 And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood.
23 “Then it was so, after all your wickedness—‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God— 24 that you also built for yourself a shrine, and made a high place for yourself in every street. 25 You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry. 26 You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.
27 Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior. 28 You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. 29 Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.
30 “How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.”

My brother, Revelation is not about the political rulers, Revelation chapter one begins with making known that the messages contained in that scroll are written about and to the congregations of the anointed.  Pay attention to the final harlot spoken of in Revelation 17 and 19, the harlot foretold to rule over and persecute God’s anointed.  

YOU are this harlot.  The false prophet in Revelation is YOU. 

Now maybe Spirit will enable you to “catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation” (Mark 13:14), allow you to see who is “standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation’” (Matt. 24:15), and open your eyes to the identity of the wild beast in Revelation 13.  Might it be Watchtower, the physical organization that is trampling the spiritual Temple?

Rev. 19:20 “And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.”

You do “not realize what is happening” (Prov. 5:6).  You have willingly become a spokesperson diverting the Flock’s obedience toward yourself, toward the governing body, and its congregational representatives, enforcing obedience to doctrines and directions of uninspired men.  

You do not represent the throne of God or of Jesus, but you have taken your seat upon Satan’s throne.  https://pearl-satansthrone.blogspot.com/

Listen to Jesus!  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17b).

9/18/2020 Letter to S. Lett, GB of Watchtower

 9/18/2020

Dear Brother Lett,                                                                                                                               

I have been a Jehovah’s Witness all my life, having been raised from birth.  My mother raised us to be well-versed, teaching us that ancient Israel was a parallel for spiritual Israel, the anointed today.  When thinking of the history of God’s people, and the many Old Testament books, prophets of old have always recorded warnings for God’s chosen people, Israel, who historically, repeated their waywardness.  Even the apostle Paul warned Christ’s brothers of repeating their forefathers’ rebelliousness.

1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come,” and 12 “So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.”

Have you ever wondered whether you, even though sincerely thinking you are standing as righteous, are in fact leaving the road to life…repeating history?  Prov. 5:6 “She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.”

I watch the talks you give at the assemblies and on the broadcast. There is a great conflict within you covered by physical animation and humor.  You know something isn’t right, you recognize the Holy Spirit is not helping you understand the scriptures.  God’s Spirit is the helper though, and it does have a dwelling.  The anointed are “built together” for God’s dwelling in the spirit, His holy temple with Christ as the cornerstone (1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:20-22; 1 Pet. 2:5).  If you remain a physical person, you will not see the spiritual application of the scriptures to the anointed.  Jehovah/YHVH does not dwell in a physical organization, a man-made dwelling, like Jerusalem, as the Jewish leaders thought in Jesus’ day (Acts 7:48-50).  Do you think God’s Spirit will bless a man-made dwelling, an idol, set up to replace God’s Holy Temple?  How have you failed to understand that it is not proper for not anointed priests, elders and overseers, to be set up over God’s spiritual temple?  Remind yourself of how the Temple was set up and who was allowed and not allowed to serve in that Temple…research that in the Old Testament.  1 Cor. 12:12 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.”  You are not part of deceiving the chosen ones into replacing their obedience to Christ and enforcing their subjugation under the man of lawlessness, this abomination –not-anointed overseers - telling them to remain silent, are you? (Rev. 13:14,15; 19:20)

Many of us wonder how the lives of the disciples of Christ, the anointed today in Watchtower, appear anything like the lives of the disciples of Christ or Jesus himself.  Yes, your quandary is great.  It would be hard to leave such a luxurious living arrangement and the adulation you receive from those who have drank your “wine.”   There is no similarity between the early disciples and apostles and those “chosen” ones today living on Kings Dr in Warwick.  But look!  It was prophesied and is finding fulfillment now!  

1 Cor. 4:8 “Are you already satisfied? Are you already rich? Have you begun ruling as kings without us? I really wish that you had begun ruling as kings so that we also might rule with you as kings.”

Ezekiel 16:13 “Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. 14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God. 15 “But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it. 16 You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be. 17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them. 18 You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them. 19 Also My food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God. 20 Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 21 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire? 22 And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood. 23 “Then it was so, after all your wickedness—‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God— 24 that you also built for yourself a shrine, and made a high place for yourself in every street. 25 You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry. 26 You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.  27 Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior. 28 You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. 29 Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.  30 “How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.”

My brother, Spirit has not let you see Revelation is not about the political rulers.  Pay attention, Revelation chapter one begins with making known that the messages contained in that scroll are written about and to the congregations of the anointed.  Pay careful heed to the final harlot spoken of in Revelation 17 and 19, the harlot foretold to rule over and persecute God’s anointed. YOU are this harlot. The false prophet in Revelation is YOU.  Now you will be able to ascertain who the wild beast is in Revelation 13…it is Watchtower, a physical organization that has replaced the spiritual Temple.

Rev. 19:20 “And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.”

Even though you are not fully vested in even the things you are saying to your audience, you willingly divert the Flock’s obedience toward yourself, toward the governing body, and its congregational representatives, enforcing obedience to doctrines and directions of uninspired men.  You do not represent the throne of God or of Jesus, but you have taken your seat upon Satan’s throne. 

Listen to Jesus, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17b).

9/18/2020 Letter to Anthony Morris, GB of Watchtower

 

9/18/2020

Dear Brother Morris,                                                                                                             

I have been a Jehovah’s Witness all my life, having grown up, so to speak, in the organization. My mother raised me and my siblings to be well-versed, teaching us that ancient Israel was a parallel for spiritual Israel, the anointed today.  When thinking of the history of God’s people, and the many Old Testament books, prophets of old have always recorded warnings for God’s chosen people, Israel, who historically, repeated their waywardness.  Even the apostle Paul warned Christ’s brothers of repeating their forefathers’ rebelliousness.

1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come,” and 12 “So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.”  Have you ever wondered whether you, even though sincerely thinking you are standing firm, are in fact leaving the road to life…repeating history?  Prov. 5:6 “She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.”

During the assembly, I watched as you read a scripture written by Paul…the explanation you gave for the verse you read was according to the outline given you, but was different from what you were thinking.  You knew the words you read didn’t have a physical application, but spiritual.  The scriptures say the anointed are “built together” for God’s dwelling in the spirit, His holy temple with Christ as the cornerstone (1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:20-22; 1 Pet. 2:5).  Is it proper for not anointed priests, elders and overseers, to be set up over God’s spiritual temple?  Is this the model of the Temple that is outlined in the Bible, in either the Old Testament or the New?  The anointed are “built together” for God’s dwelling in the spirit, they are His Holy Temple with Christ as the cornerstone (1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:20-22; 1 Pet. 2:5).  1 Cor. 12:12, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.”  You are not part of deceiving the chosen ones into replacing their obedience to Christ, and enforcing their submission to the man of lawlessness, this abomination –not-anointed overseers - telling them to remain silent, are you? (2 Thess.2:3,4; 1 Cor.12:12-14; John 2:19-21; Rev.13:14,15; 19:20).

Were Jesus and and his disciples provided accommodations at the expense of those whom they taught?  Really, is there any similarity between the early disciples who walked in Jesus' footsteps, persecuted as he was (John 15:20,21; 13:16; Matt.5:10-12; 10:24; 1 Pet.2:21), and those “chosen” today who receive adulation and are provided free housing on “Kings Dr.” (Luke9:58: Matt.8:20)?  Did Jesus and his disciples enter a ministry to build and promote a physical religious organization? (Acts 12:24; 7:48; Judges 8:27; 1 Cor.6:15-17; 2 Cor.6:16).  No, but these things were prophesied and are finding fulfillment now.  Brother, Revelation is not about the political rulers of this system, but we clearly see that the message contained in that scroll are written about and to the congregations of the anointed (Rev.1:1-6; 2 Cor.4:5; Col.4:12; Rev.2:20).

Pay attention to the final harlot spoken of in Revelation 17 and 19, the harlot foretold to rule over and persecute God’s anointed.  My brother, YOU are this harlot.  The false prophet in Revelation is YOU.  Now you will be able to ascertain who the wild beast is in Revelation 13…it is Watchtower, a physical organization that has replaced the spiritual Temple (Isa.40:18,25; 46:5; Acts 7:48; Rom.1:25; Rev.13:4).  What will be the end of these detestable acts? Rev. 19:20 “And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.”

Listen to Jesus!  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17b).

9/9/2020 Letter to JW friends

Dear friends,

It is according scripture that demands my letter to you.  Ezekiel 33:9 “But if you warn someone wicked to turn back from his way and he refuses to change his course, he will die for his error, but you will certainly save your life.”

The Bible specifically admonishes us to “test all things” (1 Thess. 5:21) because over time, many would arise who would claim sole representation of God, dispensing His teachings.  You agree that scripture rather than man’s commands is imperative.  But do you agree with the scripture and to be vigilant in testing whether teachings are true, or if they are lies of Satan?  If not, reconsider that scriptural admonition to “test all things.”

Surely you are aware by now of Brother Jackson’s testimony at the Australian Royal Commission inquiry regarding Watchtower policy and child sexual abuse.  If not, his testimony is available on the governmental website, https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/case-studies/case-study-29-jehovahs-witnesses.  I have watched the video and read the transcripts.  Brother Jackson said that he and his governing body members consider themselves “Guardians of Doctrine,” and that “it would be quite presumptuous to think we are the only spokesperson for God.”  The disgraceful defamation they have brought upon the God [Jehovah - Wikipedia] with their child abuse scandals and cover ups made it immediately clear that they are not true representatives of God and Christ.  Examining the scriptures has found that their interpretation of scripture is not from Jehovah and Jesus, and they are not speaking for Them.

The governing body is not a term found in the Bible however, they have given themselves this authoritative title (albeit a corporate title), and despite their double speak when claiming they are not prophets, they act as prophets, saying that God and Christ speak through them.  This scripture wholly applies to them:  Deut. 18:20 “’If any prophet presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 21 However, you may say in your heart: “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” 22 When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’”

Jesus too warned us of false prophets arising.  He described how we can discern the difference between true and false prophets. Matthew 7:15 “Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?”  Fruits are teachings, are they not?  So either prophets speak truth, truth that endures and that is founded in the Word of God, or they teach self-serving human doctrine, which is like rotten fruit…teachings that expire and need to be replaced (John 7:16-18; 8:28,47,50; Deut. 11:18; Matt. 15:9; Rev. 13:16).  We are not ignorant to Watchtower teachings expiring.  The organization’s entire history contains changing doctrine and “end day” dates (i.e., 1975, “end of twentieth century), failed calculations using “this generation,” all of which after the fact, expire, and must be replaced with “new light.” 

Is not God’s Word clear and succinct?  A false prophet is a false prophet (Deut.18:20-22).  Where is your loyalty?  With our Father and Christ, or with men who claim to speak for them?  Each one of us must decide for ourselves who we want to listen to.  Jesus did not say who was the “faithful and discreet slave,” but asked, “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?” [NASB].  The governing body claims to be a steward over all the household of anointed, and forbids fellow anointed from speaking.  Is it scriptural that fellow anointed are admonished not to speak, thus telling them not to contribute what the spirit has revealed to them?  Is this command according to the way the body of Christ is to act?  They have forgotten that each chosen one is a member of the body.  1 Cor. 12:27, “Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you individually is a member.”  Is there any part of Christ’s body Jesus said was of no use and to remain silent?  Most abhorrently, these chosen ones who are directly anointed with Spirit, are commanded to be obedient, to be in submission to not-anointed elders - those without Spirit, and are being trampled by them.  "The Disgusting Thing Standing in a Holy Place" Matt.24:15 (pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)  Review the scriptures and prayerfully reflect upon ancient Israel and the priesthood who alone were divinely appointed to render serve in God's Temple. WELCOME--MAIN PAGE: "Disgusting Thing" rationalized (4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com)

The scripture is clear, “As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him” (1 John 2:27).  Carefully consider Luke 12:45 and think about this silencing of fellow anointed ones and who might fit the description of the “wicked steward.”  Yes, the governing body is the “wicked steward,” beating the master’s, Jesus’, servants, not allowing them to contribute what the Spirit has taught them.  Not anointed elders judge such ones, and disfellowship them, “killing” them if they do not submit all authority and recognition to the eight leaders of Watchtower who promote their own doctrine, not Christ’s.

I have not left Jehovah/YHVH/Father, and am concerned about those who remain and are spiritually drunk from the teachings of men and who are not carefully scrutinizing teachings from leaders who proclaim that they “not inspired and can err in doctrinal matters.”  Our Father and His son do not relay truths that expire.  It is blasphemous to think that Jehovah and Jesus are incapable of communicating truth and are wishy washy in dispensing everlasting sayings to their servants.  You may ask as Simon Peter did… where will you go?  Remember, Simon Peter did not ask where to go!  “Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life” (John 6:68).  Jesus said, John 14:4 “And where I am going, you know the way.” 5 Thomas said to him: “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:4-6).  Jesus did not say go to the Jehovah’s Witnesses religious organization, or to the Watchtower corporation.  Acts 17:24 states, “The God who made the world and all the things in it, being, as he is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples.”

^“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24).

Please wake up, do not be dazzled by the showy display and empty deceptive talk of the rebellious anointed leaders you ingest teachings from…no early apostle or disciple of Christ received adulation as the Watchtower governing body does, nor would Jesus or his apostles be found when on earth, living at a compound with housing, food, laundry service, personal doctors, lawyers, and assistants.

Please give prayerful consideration while you open up the scriptures.  Test all things.  Truth always stands up to scrutiny.  Consult Strong’s or the Greek Interlinear as Watchtower has made several key changes and omissions that suit their doctrine.  A good resource is Biblehub.com, which will provide the actual Greek word.  You may want to begin with Rev. 5:10 and compare the NWT to the Greek words.  Is your salvation dependent on belonging to a man-made organization?

Only you answer to our Father and Jesus, only you are judged by them. Your attachment to Watchtower is not salvation, in fact, it is a death sentence.   https://pearl-satansthrone.blogspot.com/

“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4). 

Warm love,

Rachel
