Many JWs are confused by the recent changes regarding women
wearing pants and men no longer required to wear ties or suit jackets or even
be clean-shaven. They are beginning to
carefully test scripture as commanded by God and are confused whether the
leaders of Watchtower are teaching commandments of God or whether they are
teaching man-made doctrine as commandments of God (Matt.15:9; Mark 7:7; 2
Cor.11:13-15). Recently, a JW reached
out to me, and after carefully reading scripture, correctly identified WT teachings
as merely man-made rules and ideas. This
JW had always thought that the anointed leaders of Watchtower were leading
God’s people but now wondered, asking, “Who is God’s people?”
The answer to this question, of course, is found in
scripture. Do you recall God’s people were chosen by Him to belong
to Him as a special treasure/possession to keep all His commandments (Deut.7:6;
14:2; 26:18-19; Lev.20:26; Exod.19:5-6)?
God’s ordinances, His commands, were to be carefully followed by His
chosen people who were not to add or to be take away from His words
(Deut.6:1-2; 10:12-14; 12:1,32; 4:1-2; Ezek.20:18-19).
God selected a people for Himself, and commanded them, “Now
therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you
shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the
earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a
holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the
children of Israel” (Exod.15:5-6). Priests in service to minister to
God, as well as kings, was not of self-choice or to be a selection by human
election, but by God who indicated His choice by directing anointing oil to be
poured on their physical head (Exod.28:41; Lev.8:12; Exod.29:4-7; 30:30;
40:12-15; Num.3:3; Deut.17:14-20; 1 Sam.16:1,13; 10:1; 2 Kings 9:6). The
priest was divinely appointed with the responsibility to keep knowledge and
instruct - “For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, And people should
seek the law from his mouth; For he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts”
(Mal.2:7). You are aware this is the pattern for the spiritual
priesthood (Rev.5:8-10)?
God’s people under the new covenant is the spiritual holy
priesthood, still, God’s special possession, a holy nation, God’s spiritual
house/household (Jer.31:31-33; Heb.8:7-13; 1 Pet.2:5,9; Mal.2:7;
Heb.13:15). The spiritual priesthood receives anointing by spiritual
“oil,” Holy Spirit, a divine appointment and unforgettable experience of Spirit
poured in the heart (2 Cor.1:21-22; Rom.5:5; 8:9; 2 Cor.5:17; 1 John 2:27). God
calls to Himself people whom He chooses to anoint, to pour His love, His
Spirit, in their heart; each are a “living stone” that builds His dwelling
place in which He and His son, Jesus live in Spirit (1 John 4:8; John 4:24;
6:63; 2 Cor.5:17; Acts 2:39; 2 Cor.1:22; Rom.5:5; Eph.2:10; 1 Pet.2:9,5;
Heb.13:15; Eph.2:19-22; 3:14-21; 1 Cor.3:16). This is not of
self-choice, nor do Spirit-anointed select others to be anointed or to act in
the priestly capacity of an anointed as if it is an employee/employer
relationship, rather, God’s people are chosen by Him, and if faithful, Jesus
will choose them to work in service to him to be a source of instruction to all
who desire to come to know him and the Father (2 Cor.1:21-22; John 14:6;
15:16,9-10; 14:20-26,16-17; Jer.31:31-33; Rom.2:28-29; 1 Pet.2:5,9; 2 Cor.4:6;
Mal.2:7; Rom.10:14-17; John 17:3,6-8; 2 Cor.3:16-18; John 17:22).
God’s people, His faithful spiritual priesthood, yield to
the Spirit - they do not teach according to the flesh, according to their own
wisdom, by using human ideas and reasoning (Jer.31:31,33-34; Rom.8:9-14; 1
Cor.2:1-4,10-16; 1:9-10). Anointed manifest whether the Spirit
abides within them by the teachings they offer (John 1:1,14; Eph.6:17; John
12:49; 15:1-5; Acts 4:19-20,29-31; Rom.10:8). The knowledge of Jesus
Christ that faithful Spirit-anointed provide by the Spirit of truth multiplies
grace and peace, and gives eternal life (Acts 5:29; John 14:15; 6:68; 17:3;
14:6; 8:32; 2 Pet.1:2; 3:18; Rom.6:16-18,20-23; Hab.2:18-19; Zech.10:2;
Jer.10:8; Prov.13:5; 1 Cor.10:14). You enter their house, their heart where the
Spirit of God dwells, when you “eat” the fruit they produce by what they do,
their deeds, written or spoken, for the power of God to heal spiritual sickness
is by the Holy Spirit (2 Chron.7:17,14-16; Deut.28:1,9-10; 12:7-8,11,5;
Prov.4:23; 1 Pet.2:5,9; 1 Cor.3:9,16; Eph.3:14-17; Rom.5:5; Luke 6:45;
Psalm 37:30-31; John 7:38; Isa.55:1; Acts 8:9-23). This is how you
will be able to identify God’s people, by their fruit, what they teach, which
is what they will be condemned or acquitted by (Matt.7:15-20; 12:33-37;
Prov.18:20-21).
Even so, the so-called anointed leaders of WT doctrine
have told JWs they have NO Spirit (“we are not inspired” – and
inspired means of Spirit), and yet still, people trust in their claim to be faithful
Christs [Christ means anointed] (Luke
17:23; 21:8; 1 John 4:1; Mark 13:6; Matt.24:5,24; 7:15; John 4:24; Matt.15:9;
Mark 7:7; Acts 4:12; 2 Tim.2:16,19; 1 Tim.4:1). Yes, their fragile,
flip-flopping, expired, and list of failed prophecies are screaming they
teach not according to Spirit, but human ideas, man-made doctrine (Deut.18:20-22;
1 John 4:1; 1 Pet.1:13-16; Lev.19:2; 1 Tim.4:1). They are a false prophet and precisely who
Jesus warned us to beware of, to avoid being deceived with empty words and misled
into following rules taught by men without Spirit (Matt.24:5,24; 7:15-20;
Prov.18:20-21; Rom.8:5; John 6:63; Psalm 64:2-3; Matt.15:8-9; Isa.29:13;
Rom.8:6; John 4:23-24; Acts 7:48-51; Acts17:24; Jer.25:6; 1 Cor.3:16; 1
Pet.2:5,9; Eph.5:6-7; Rom.1:18).
God anoints individuals with His Spirit those whom He calls
and creates and forms for His glory to be spiritual priests, to be His dwelling
place of Spirit and to perform his priestly duties (Exod.40:1,12-15;
30:22,29-33; Psalm 89:20; Gal.4:6; Rom.5:5; 8:9; 2 Cor.1:21-22; 1 Cor.3:16;
Eph.2:19-22; 1 Pet.2:5,9; Mal.2:7; Heb.13:15; Isa.43:15,21,7). The anointed
leaders of Watchtower mock God’s arrangement by manufacturing a “congregation”
according to their own design allying themselves with not Spirit-anointed men,
crafting them into an “image” of spiritual priests by appointing them priestly
duties (Exod.40:12-15; 2 Thess.2:4; Acts 7:48-51; 17:24; Isa.66:1; Num.18:7;
Rom.1:25; John 8:44; Rev.13:4). Out of all the physical religious
organizations, Watchtower claims Jesus chose them to represent God? God and
Jesus chose a physical religious organization?
God and Jesus chose rebellious anointed who do not teach according to
Spirit but teach man-made doctrine as commandments of God (1 John 3:4-10; 2
Cor.6:16-17; 2 Thess.2:3-4; Acts 7:48-51; Jer.7:23-27; Matt.15:7,9; Mark 7:6-7;
1 Cor.2:10-16; Rom.8:5-9)? Wake up! God arranges, appoints and ordains the
members of the “body of Christ,” as He desires – they are a unit of His Spirit
that He has poured in their hearts and who are the spiritual temple, the
congregation in which Jesus is head (Deut.7:6; Lev.19:2,4; Psalm 74:2; 1
Pet.2:5,9; John 2:19,21; 2 Cor.1:21; 1 John 2:20,27; 1 Cor.6:19; John 4:24; 1
John 4:13; 5; John 15:1-Eph.4:25; 1 Cor.12:12,18,27-30; Rom.12:1,4-8;
Eph.4:7,12-16; 2:20-22).
You must “test all things,” which Watchtower discourages,
and why do they discourage testing their doctrine against scripture only? They are trying to hide their deeds because
their deeds are evil (1 Thess.5:20-21; John 3:19-21; Eph.5:11-13). God’s people
are not found in Watchtower – they are wicked, speaking deceit because their
father is not the Father, but the father of the lie (Matt.24:11,24; Acts
7:48-51; Rom.16:18; John 8:44; 2 Cor.11:13-15; Psalm 55:21; Psalm 94:20;
Eph.5:11).
Psalm 50:16, ‘But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 Seeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with
him,
And have been a partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against
your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done,
and I kept silent;
You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And set them in order before your eyes.
Rev.14:9, “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his
mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the
wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His
indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of
the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their
torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who
worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Rev.18:3, “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication
with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance
of her luxury.” 4 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.
5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her
iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her
double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for
her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the
same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as
queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will
come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned
with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
Jer.51:36, “Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance for
you.
I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon shall become a heap,
A dwelling place for jackals,
An astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.
38 They shall roar together like lions,
They shall growl like lions’ whelps.
39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
I will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.” [Psalm 13:3]
I was raised in this idol religious organization, since 1970. Now, part of a small congregation of Spirit-anointed who gather together, having repented from our wrong course, our eating/ingesting in our heart and mind, the “bad fruit” produced by Watchtower (Prov.28:13; Matt.3:2; Zech.1:3-4; Isa.44:6-10,18-23; Acts 17:30; 3:17-26; 2:38; 1 Pet.4:10-11; 1 Tim.6:12). We were saved by Jesus who showed us our error in worship by following man-made doctrine and have repented. We are committed to carry out our divine commission of speaking truth (Exod.20:3; Deut.5:7; 32:1-2,16-17,21; John 12:35,37-40; 14:1,6,15-18,23-24; Rom.10:1-2,10-17; Gal.3:26-28; Rom.10:18-21; 1 Pet.4:10-11; Psalm 81:8-9; Isa.43:7-12).
