Dear Brothers and Sisters, 

One of the top-level anointed leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses said at the 2021 annual meeting that those who “survive Armageddon” do not immediately receive everlasting life. He went on to say that such “survivors” have their names “written in the book of life in pencil.”   Scripture does not tell us we are “penciled in” the “book of life,” but that we have eternal life now by placing faith in Jesus, or we do not due to departing from God and the head of the congregation.  Those who depart from Jesus (not the Watchtower organization), now, will have their names blotted out of the book of life (John 3:16; Rev.3:1- 5; Eph.5:5; 1 Sam.15:23; Rev.13:4,6-8; 18:7; Matt.7:15-20; Rev.20:10-15; 21:8; Matt.7:21-23; 25:34). How is our name found in the book of life or not found/blotted out of the book of life?  Jesus gives us the answer.  "Whoever believes in the son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the son will not see life" (John 3:36).  Whoever hears Jesus' words and believes in the Father who sent him, has eternal life, it is a gift of God (John 5:23,24).  Jesus said that "true worshipers will worship the Father in truth and spirit” (John 4:23,24). Jesus is the Word, "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 1:1,14; John 14:6). Departing from Jesus, apostasy, is when we do not listen to Jesus’ words.  When Jesus said true worship is worshiping the Father in “spirit and truth,” we must not be deceived into thinking Jesus is telling us to acquire real estate and build a physical religious organization. If we have been deceived by a false prophet to join, belong, and promote a physical religious organization entity as representing God and as a means for salvation, we have apostatized.  Such false prophets who claim their religious organization is teaching "truth,” but that “truth” rots and expires over time, then those teachings were not from God to Jesus to them.  Those teachings were lies.  A plate of lies does not come from God or Jesus and is not to be eaten, no matter how much you want to believe they are true, lies will not lead to eternal life (1 John 5:9-13; John 3:15,16,36; 5:24; Matt.7:15-20; Psalm 146:3; Num.23:19; Heb.6:18; Rev.1:5; Prov.14:5; John 8:44).  

There a several lies we have been taught to be “truth.”  Since our names are right now, written in the book of life or not written in the book of life, depending upon whether we are serving God according to Jesus’ truthful teachings contained in scripture, we must examine scripture and “test all things” we have been taught (1 Thess.5:21).  First let’s examine this verse in 1 Corinthians 3 that says, "If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person" (1 Cor.3:16a,9; 6:19; 2 Cor.6:16).  What is God's Temple, and how can a person destroy it and then themselves be destroyed?  Are there any who are destroying God’s temple right now?

First, what is God’s temple?  God’s temple is a spiritual building made up of “living stones,” and all chosen anointed are a spiritual holy priesthood and congregation in which Jesus is head, and the “cornerstone” (John 13:18; Rom.8:14-17; John 15:16; Eph.2:20-22; 1 Pet.2:5; 1 Pet.2:9; 1 Cor.3:16; 12:27).  Is true worship represented by a physical temple, a physical religious organization?  Notice, "The Most High does not live in houses made by human hands" (Acts 7:48; 17:24; Isa.66:1).  The physical temple of ancient Israel however represented a pattern, not architecturally in a physical sense, but spiritual sense (Exod.25:9; Heb.8:1-6). Just as the divinely appointed priesthood in ancient Israel were consecrated to offer the daily sacrifices, “the constant feature,"  the spiritual priesthood, both male and female spirit-anointed persons are divinely appointed to offer the “constant feature”/“sacrifice of the lips,” - true instruction and prophetic interpretation received by Jesus’ words if they remain attached to Jesus, “the vine” (Num.18:1-8; Deut.30:6; Rom.3:1; 2:29; Acts 1:5; 2 Cor.1:21-22; Eph.4:4; Gal.3:27-28; 2 Pet.1:21; John 15:1-5; Eph.5:23; 1 Pet.2:5; Heb.13:14,15; 9:11; 2 Pet.1:21). 

May not-spirit anointed men replace and perform priestly duties divinely appointed to spirit-anointed persons?  No.  To do so would defile and trample God’s “sanctuary" and would take away the “constant feature” that spirit-anointed persons who as “stars” are to perform, to “shine" as illuminators of truthful teachings of Jesus received from Holy Spirit that leads those who listen, to life (Ezek.44:6-9; Heb.9:1,23; 10:16; Rom.2:28-29; 1 Cor.3:16,17; Heb.13:14-15; John 8:12; Gen.22:17; Deut.1:10; Rev.1:20; Dan.8:10-11; 11:31; Matt.24:15). Do not be fooled, God’s spiritual temple, the holy priesthood, cannot be replaced by not-spirit anointed men or represented by a physical religious idol organization. “What agreement does God’s temple have with idols?...(2 Cor.6:16; 1 Cor.10:14,7; 1 John 5:21). Ask yourself, have I been deceived into idolatry by false prophets/unfaithful anointed leaders “eating” and “drinking” their falsehoods, claiming that God’s “earthly organization” is a physical religious organization? If so, you are repeating the rebelliousness of God’s people recorded in Exodus who although with good intentions contributing their valuable things to form a physical representation of God, “a golden calf,” in fact, violated God’s decrees (Exod.32). The rebellion led by unfaithful anointed has not gone unnoticed by God (Jer.7:11,28-29; 29:23).

Listen to the divine pronouncement of judgment. Just as God called unfaithful Israel a “prostitute,” a “harlot” due to their idolatrous deeds, the unfaithful anointed leaders are a harlot by their idolatrous ways (Mic.1:7; Judges 2:17; 8:33; Psalm 106:39; Isa.1:21; 23:17). They are dull-hearted and without knowledge, false prophets who have misled many into putting trust in a “carved image,” a physical religious organization they claim membership to brings salvation, asking you to donate “gold”/money in “building,” replacing the sanctity of God’s actual dwelling, the spiritual holy priesthood, spirit-anointed persons who are each a “living stone” in the spiritual temple (2 Pet.2:1-3; Jer.10:21,14,8; 1 Cor.10:6-7; 1 Pet.2:9,5; 1 Cor.12:12-14; Gal.3:26-28; 1 Cor.11:19; Exod.32:2-9; John 4:23,24; Heb.11:1; John 14:6; 1 John 2:3; Col.2:8; Jer.2:11,12). By their actions and deeds, these unfaithful anointed leaders have broken their covenant with God, and so God has dismissed them from His presence and they are rejected as kings/priests – they have no inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God - Jesus does not abide in them and without him, there is no eternal life (Jer.7:23; John 14:6,23; 15:5,7; Eph.3:17; Acts 17:24,25; John 14:24; 1 John 5:20,12; John 15:10; 2 Cor.6:16; Rev.1:5,6; Eph.5:5-7; Acts 7:49,48; Isa.46:5; Hab.2:18-19; Jer.2:5,8-11; 7:26; 2:8; 7:9-11; 3:8; 16:12; Hos.4:1,2,12; 1 Cor.6:9,10,15; Jer.2:23,35; Hos.4:6,7,12; Jer.11:10; Rev.17:1,18; Nah.3:1,2-6,19; Ezek.5:11; Dan.5:22-23,5,26; Dan.2:43; 1 Sam.15:23,26; 3:13-14; Isa.30:8,9,12-14; John 4:10; Psalm 36:9; John 8:12; Jer.2:13; Rev.17:2,18; 18:3,6-8; 19:2; Deut.32:5,16-18). The unfaithful anointed leaders have detached from Jesus, the “vine,” and have chosen to worship the “dragon,” Satan, and are a root bearing poisonous fruit; they have been divinely “cut off,” “removed,” “uprooted” and “cast out” of God’s House, His spiritual Temple…it is impossible for them to be “revived again into repentance,” there is no more atonement for them (2 Thess.2:3; Ezek.16:2; 2 Pet.2:15,17,21; Ezek.17:18; Zeph.3:1-4; Rev.17:1,2; Ezek.7:3; John 8:44; Isa.22:14; Jer.19:11; 1 Sam.15:23; Heb.6:4-6; 10:26,29; 12:15-17; John 15:5,6; Rom.11:21; Prov.2:22; Rom.11:22; Deut.32:32; Isa.18:5; Job 18:16; 2 Cor.9:24-27; Luke 12:42,45,46; Jude 1:11,12; Matt.24:50-51; Rev.17:1,2,4-6,18; 14:8; 18:2,3,7,24; Jer.50:14,15,31; Nahum 1:14; Rev.18:8,23; Isa.9:14; Rev.19:20; 20:10; Psalm 9:5; Zech.5:1-4). On top of all their abominations, the false prophet together with their “image,” not-anointed overseers whom have been given power and “breath” to act on their behalf, accuse faithful anointed of lying when they share the truth given them by Holy Spirit that exposes the unfaithful anointed leaders’ idolatry and false testimony….this is speaking against the Holy Spirit, an unforgiveable sin (Rev.13:4-6,8,11-18; 19:20; 1 Cor.12:12,18-21; 1 John 2:27; John 14:17; Mark 3:29,30; Matt.12:31,32; Matt.25:40,46). 

Not-spirit anointed individuals who take way the “constant feature,” desolate God’s spiritual temple, are foretold in scripture to be as a swarm of locusts and a band of robbers who plunder the temple.  Scripture tells us these individuals are the “man of lawlessness” and will meet the same judgment as the harlot if unrepentant and remaining in support of this religious idol abomination (2 Thess.2:3,8; Ezek.44:9; Jer.51:51; Dan.7:23; 8:10-11,13; 9:27; 11:31; Luke 21:20,24; Matt.24:15,16,21,22; Rev.9:3,7-11,17-20; Dan.5:3,4; Lam.1:10; Joel 1:6,7; 2:4,5; 1:4; 2:9; Matt.21:13; John 10:10; Luke 21:20-22; Psalm 79:1; Nahum 3:1-4; Ezek.6:1,9; Psalm 50:18; 2 Chron.26:18; 1 John 3:4-10; Dan.2:40-44; Rev.13:2,15-18; 14:9-11; 17:8,11; 19:20).  “Let the reader use discernment,” means to use spiritual discernment.  Through scripture we are helped to spiritually discern, to “catch sight,” of the “abomination of desolation.” When you catch sight of the “disgusting thing that causes desolation, standing in a holy place,” as spoken through Daniel the prophet, you are to FLEE! (Matt.24:15-16; Mark 13:14-16; Dan.9:27; 11:31,36-39; 12:11; 11:45; 1 Cor.10:14,18-22).  Have you caught sight of who is desolating God’s temple?

We are now in the valley of decision, all flesh is now being judged by God’s word, Jesus…you will either gain life by upholding and putting faith in Jesus’ truthful words testified by the children of God, or receive the wrath of God and perish for choosing to testify lies of the devil and his children, children who were subjects of the kingdom, anointed, but who rebelled (John 1:1; Isa.66:15,16; 65:11,12; Joel 3:2,13-15; 1:5; Rev.16:13,15,16; 13:6,7; 2 Cor.10:4,5; 1 John 3:1-3,9,10; 5:3-5,9-12; 2:18,19,22-29; Heb.2:14; 1 Cor.15:57; Prov.12:17; 14:5; John 8:44; 1 John 3:4-8; John 17:12; 1 John 4:1; Acts 13:6,9,10; Matt.8:11,12; 13:34-43; 3:12; 7:15-20; Psalm 1:1-6; Job 19:29; 15:20-22,30-34; John 12:31; Matt.25:46; Exod.23:1; Prov.19:5,9; 25:18; 6:16-19; Isa.30:15,30-33; Rev.14:9-11; 19:20). 

A natural man will not understand the end time signs or the meaning of Armageddon because that requires spiritual discernment (1 Cor.2:14). The end time signs are not literal such as natural occurrences of disasters or persecutions by political governmental agencies, but they are spiritual conditions and treatment Jesus’ followers were to expect from among their own religious leaders if walking in Jesus’ footsteps (Matt.13:10,11; Matt.16:2-4; Luke 12:54-56; 1 John 5:19; John 18:36; John 15:20; Matt.10:22; Luke 21:17).  Unfaithful anointed leaders proclaim and have deceived many into believing Armageddon is God's day of physical annihilation - examine these scriptures carefully, using discernment:  Ezek.33:11; Jer.23:29; 2 Cor.10:4; Isa.49:2; Eph.6:17; Rev.19:15.   

A remnant of God’s people have repented and fled after pleading to God for truth through His son, Jesus, having the great veil of spiritual darkness lifted, were given Jesus’ light, awaking from the “dead,” the spiritual sleep they were in (Isa.10:20,21; Mal.3:7; Ezek.37:23; Mark 1;15; 2 Cor.4:6; John 8:12; Matt.4:16; Eph.2:5; 5:14; 2 Cor.3:16). Exercise faith in God and His son, Jesus (John 14:1), and be encouraged knowing that God’s spiritual temple administration will be completed, and His kingdom will come (Dan.9:25; Matt.24:21; Dan.12:1; Rev.7:14; Dan.7:14; 1 Cor.15:24; Dan.7:27; Isa.48:26). Jesus’ load is light and his life-giving waters are free - all who desire may join this remnant in worshiping in “Spirit and truth,” with no money donations asked for or accepted, and no membership with a physical religious idol organization required for salvation (Hos.10:13; Isa.1:16; Zech.1:3; John 4:23,24; 14:6; 3:16; Matt.11:28-30; 1 John 5:3; John 4:14; Isa.55:1; Rev.21:6; Acts 26:18; John 1:5; 2 Cor.4:3). 

Take Jesus’ invitation, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matt.7:7; 1 Cor.2:14; Matt.13:15-17; 24:15,33; Luke 12:36; John 10:9; 14:23; 1 John 4:6; John 3:17-21). “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me” - Jesus (Rev.3:20; John 12:48).
