Let’s imagine you enter a dark room. At first, you can barely make out anything in the room. A dimmer switch is on the wall, so you slowly raise the switch to increase light in the room. The light slowly begins to shine on the objects in the room. You make out the shapes, and identify a tv on the wall, chairs surrounding a conference table, and some type of plant in the corner. As the light in the room gets brighter, the objects don’t change, but the details of the objects become clearer. The color and shape of leaves indicate the type of plant, you see the brand and model tv, the material of the chairs and their structure, the detailed wood grain and color of the table. The tv doesn’t change into a bicycle, and then back to a tv, then back to a bicycle. The table and chairs don’t morph into a car and broom, then reappear with chairs and stools. The plant doesn’t vanish, then present as a refrigerator.
This simple illustration describes the WT’s spiritual leaders who have a “bad eye,” blind guides walking in darkness, and the horrific result for both themselves and those they lead (Luke 11:34; Eph.4:18; 2 Pet.2:2; Matt.15:14; 7:15; 2 Tim.3:5; Luke 6:43-44; Matt.7:19; Luke 6:45; Prov.6:12; Prov.18:21; Rev.21:2-3,24-26; 22:2,14; 21:27).
Let’s look at scripture to see what Jesus was talking about when he speaks of an “eye.”
A good eye is one part of the Body of Christ, a prophet given spiritual understanding of the prophetic word, as a lamp lit by oil/Holy Spirit that gives light to the entire Body (2 Pet.1:19; John 8:12; Psalm 18:28; Rev.22:16; Matt.6:22; 2 Pet.1:20-21; 1 Cor.3:16; 1 Cor.12:4,12; Rom.12:5; 1 Cor.12:29; Rom.12:6; Luke 11:34-36; Matt.5:14,16). All members of the Body of Christ must speak truth because they are the spiritual priesthood, kings and priests, whose head is Jesus (Matt.28:18; John 17:2; 1 Cor.8:5-6; John 12:44-46,49-50; 6:63; 8:12; 14:6; Eph.5:23-26,30,27; 4:25; 1 Pet.2:5; Mal.2:7; Eph.2:1-2; 1 Pet.2:9; Eph.2:6; Rev.19:16; 1:6; 21:2; Zech.8:3; Rev.21:23-27; 22:1-5). True interpretation of prophecy illuminates the pathway to life for the entire Body/bride members to be holy and blameless, walking in the light, and giving life to those who heed their truthful teachings (2 Pet.1:19-21; Psalm 119:105; 16:11; Prov.4:18; 2 Cor.4:6). In the time of the end, Jesus shines his light in a human messenger angel/prophet/star [Angels…just invisible?], sending his messenger to reveal to the remaining Body members their darkened spiritual condition (1 Tim.4:1; Matt.6:23; 2 Pet.2:1-2,17; Matt.24:24; John 8:44; 2 Cor.11:3; Eph.6:12; Matt.24:11,22; Rev.1:1-3,20; Mal.3:1-6,16-18; Mal.2:7; Rev.1:6). A symbolic “two witnesses” (LINK) “Moses & Elijah” - Meditate upon these scriptures. In the time of the end, why is this call to repentance needed (Elijah) and the commandments of God called to mind (Moses)? Because the bride of Christ must be clean, without spot or blemish (Eph.5:23,26-27). Anointed who are deceived by false prophets’ teachings of falsehood/lies/bad fruit, do not abide in Jesus but are unclean, impure, excluded from being a bride member, a representative of the city of truth, New Jerusalem…and no one who believes and endorses lies will enter the Kingdom of God (1 John 2:27; John 15:16,5-6; Titus 1:16; 2 Tim.3:7,5; 1 Cor.10:12; 2 Pet.3:2,17-18; 2 Cor.13:5; 1 Cor.15:50; Rom.8:9; 1 Pet.2:22; John 6:63; John 4:24; 1 Pet.1:16; Lam.3:40; Zech.8:3; Rev.21:2,23-26; 22:14; 21:27; 22:1-3; Deut.11:13; Matt.5:8; Rev.22:4; 14:1; 22:5,11-12,18-19; Matt.12:37; Prov.12:22).
If a good eye is a true prophet, we easily deduce a bad eye is a false prophet. False prophets among God’s own people arise in the last days - they take the lead but are unfaithful (a harlot) without spiritual perception, spouting deceptive teachings, posing as ministers of righteousness, claiming their teachings are the truth, but are NOT (Matt.24:1-3,11-12,24; 2 Thess.2:1-4; Dan.11:36-37; Dan.8:11; Luke 21:20 [LINK] 2 Pet.1:19-21; 2:1-2; Matt.24:22,21 [LINK-Great Tribulation] Matt.7:15-19; Jer.23:29; 2 Thess.1:6-9 [LINK-lake of fire] Matt.7:20; 2 Cor.11:13-15; Rom.16:18; Phil.3:19; Hos.4:12; Prov.5:3; 7:21; Jer.5:26; Prov.7:25,27; Jer.5:26,30-31; Matt.7:21-23 [LINK-who is the harlot in Revelation]. These false prophets walk in darkness and do not have the light of life because they are unfaithful…God has shut their “eyes,” and they cannot perceive the meaning of His words (John 8:12; 6:63; 14:6; Matt.15:7-9; Isa.29:13; Psalm 69:23; Isa.29:10; Matt.13:14; Job 12:25; John 8:44; Psalm 112:4; Prov.4:19). Those who are held captive by their false teachings enter the dominion of darkness, a spiritual domain of wickedness where the false prophets’ authority is by Satan, an authority to deceive others by demonic lying teachings (Matt.6:23; Eph.6:12; 2 Cor.11:3; 1 Tim.4:1; 2 Pet.2:1; 2 Pet.2:2,17; John 8:44).
Please, examine all scripture against what you are being taught so you can make a distinction between true interpretations and teachings of God, and false (1 John 4:1; John 6:63; 2 Tim.3:16; Prov.1:23; 1 Tim.2:4; John 14:6; John 17:3; Prov.3:5-6). The prophetic Word is clear that false prophets prophesying lies speak of their own imagination and are among God’s very own people; blind guides who mislead, false prophets Jesus said would arise in the last days (Deut.18:20-22; Jer.14:14; Ezek.13:2; Jer.23:11; 6:13-14; 23:21-22; 6:15; 2 Pet.1:20-21; 2:1-2; Acts 20:30; Matt.24:24-25).
JW’s will say…“but the anointed leaders of WT do not claim to be a prophet.”
Consider this: If I perform medical procedures, but outright state that I am not a licensed medical practitioner to those under my duty of care, does that remove my accountability? Most certainly not. Although I give disclaimer that I am not a licensed medical practitioner, but take liberty in performing medical procedures without a lawful license, I still remain liable. Disclaimers do not remove accountability for actions. I bear the responsibility for my unlawful actions, caring for the health of people and putting them at risk for adverse harm. Any who consent to receive my care bear their own responsibility for the choice they made, even fatal consequences (Matt.12:36-37; Ezek.14:10).

Addition to this post: September 25, 2026, Jody Jedele, a member of the anointed gb leaders of WT, in a Morning Worship talk, explained how light is shone both on the organization [WT] and on each individual JW. He then directed his JW audience to turn to Amos 3:7, which he then read. Amos 3:7 [NKJV], “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Jedele, 2026, 0:24). Why did Jedele read that? Because the only individuals in WT that communicate so-called “new light” is the gb. Yes, Jody Jedele, the message could not be clearer. You and your gb members consider yourselves a prophet.
——-—
Both the blind guides (“bad eye”), false prophet leaders of WT and those who seek their care/are led by them and who believe and spread their lies, bear responsibility for that choice (Matt.12:36-37; Ezek.14:10). The consequence for choosing to teach lies and for putting faith in lies is fatal; the blind and those blindly led fall in a “ditch,” a word that means pit/destruction (Psalm 101:4; Prov.6:12; 16:12; 12:28; Psalm 34:12-13; Prov.4:24; 1 Pet.3:10-11; Prov.12:22; Matt.12:37; John 3:19,21,20; Matt.15:14; Prov.19:9). Blind guides cannot see/perceive and hear/understand words of Spirit and so glorify God by producing fruit that lasts because they have rebelliously detached from their head, Jesus (John 15:5,7-8; Rom.1:21; Eph.4:18; Heb.3:8). False prophets do not give true witness, but through deceptive empty teachings take minds captive to a spiritual condition of darkness, without salvation or life [Link: What is Hades?] (Prov.19:8-9; Matt.12:37; Col.2:8; 2 Cor.4:6; John 1:4; Luke 11:35; Matt.7:15,21; Luke 11:34; Eph.4:18; 2 Tim.3:7; Matt.7:20; Eph.5:11,13-14,8).
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him (1 John 1:5). When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness (Prov.2:10-13). For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor.4:6). O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit (Psalm 30:3). For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth (Isa.37:18). God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life (Job 33:28).
The eye of the Body of Christ, is the prophets
If the contemporary Body of Christ is lead by a bad eye (a wicked steward/false prophet/Harlot full of adultery -2Pet.2:14; Rev.17:2), that whole body will be thrown into darkness leading to Gehenna. The faithful are not to "tolerate" such an eye/false prophet
[and having the needed humility to weigh carefully, what is said
The light in a faithful "eye"/prophet, can only benefit the other parts of the Body...
To do so, we must be willing to put new wine (truth) into a new wine-skin (understanding/faith)... and willing to pluck out our own previous personal perceptions, however flattering to us, attractive to our flesh, comfortable and familiar, or cherished as valuable treasures
The harlot's false and poisonous doctrine cannot compare with the riches of truth which Christ entrusts to the work of his faithful priests

Please also read the following excerpt from the article, The Proper Food:
We recognize a false prophet, a false teacher, from a true prophet or teacher sent by Christ, by the quality of spiritual food. (
Proverbs 11:30; 18:21; John 15:7-8) Good food remains; not just for one meal, or one published magazine or book that is soon to be replaced by another. Bad food, or “fruit”, rots away as Watchtower’s doctrines are continually replaced by more “bad fruit”. (
Proverbs 1:20-31; Matthew7:15-20; John 15:4-6)
Only a devious, lying leader would convince someone that his predictions or doctrines proven to fail and need adjusting time and again, are blessed by God as
“proper food at the proper time”. (
Acts 20:28-31)
According to God, there is no “proper time” to believe in a lie, as Jehovah’s Witnesses have done since the organization began. (
Proverbs 1:5;1 John 2:4)

Returning to the Sept.25, 2026 Morning Worship talk entitled The Path of the Righteous Grows Brighter and Brighter, gb member Jody Jedele referred to WT’s history and their “misaligned expectation” of 1914. He said 1914 was a topic the entire fourth chapter was devoted to in their Millennial Dawn Vol.2 book, and later publication, Studies in the Scriptures. Jedele said God “adjusted” their expectations by not doing what they anticipated in 1914 (Jedele, 2026, 5:38). Jedele then explains the lesson to learn…that God may clarify a matter by not fulfilling expectations, and tells JW’s, “we don’t get frustrated.” Jedele claims silence from God and their response by “adjusting” their teachings is positive evidence of increasing spiritual light (Jedele, 2026, 5:56–6:10). Is that really so (1 Sam.28:6,15-16)? Let’s look at scriptures to give us the reason why God does not fulfill the words spoken by those who claim to be His “mouth,” claim to speak for Him, as Jedele asserts are the gb when he read Amos 3:7 at the opening of his talk (Jedele, 2026, 0:24):
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” (Num.23:19).
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isa.55:10-11).
“And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?'--"when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him” (Deut.18:21-22).
“They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, 'Thus says the LORD!' But the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope that the word may be confirmed. "Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, 'The LORD says,' but I have not spoken” (Ezek.13:6-7).
“Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD. ... "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied” (Jer.23:16,21).
“You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit” (Psalm 50:16).
“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you," says the Lord GOD” (Ezek.13:8).
“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” (Psalm 50:21).
“The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness” (Matt.13:41).
“For behold, the LORD will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire” (Isa.66:15; Jer.23:29).
“And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire” (Heb.1:7).
“Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word” (Psalm 103:20).
“My hand will be against the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord GOD” (Ezek.13:8-9)
“See, I [Jesus] have told you beforehand” (Matt.24:25).
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matt.7:15).
“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matt.24:24).
“By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed” (2 Pet.2:3,2).
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matt.7:21-23).
