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 God20 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).
