January 2021 Letter to KHs - (WT and UN involvement)

Dear friends, Imagine it’s 2a.m., you’re fast asleep when suddenly you hear a loud pounding on your front door. Startled, you run downstairs and peek out the front window to see your neighbor standing there in their pajamas, clearly, with a panic-stricken look on their face. You swing open your front door and your neighbor starts shouting at you, pointing to your roof, “Your house is on fire!” What will you do? Is it at all possible that you would respond to your neighbor, saying, ‘Don’t worry, I don’t smell any smoke, go back home and go back to sleep.” Absurd! Yet a very similar type of scenario is happening, now. I am your “neighbor,” pointing to a danger that requires your attention. Will you respond, “Don’t worry, everything is under control”…? I shared with my mother, also a JW, as I am now with you, email correspondence from Felipe Queipo (queipo@un.org) confirming that the Jehovah’s Witnesses belonged to the United Nations. The following is Mr. Queipo’s email response to my question whether Watchtower belonged to the U.N. Mr. Paul Hoeffel’s 2004 letter that Mr. Queipo attached to his email removed from the U.N. Website confirming Watchtower’s association with U.N., is available upon request. Please, if you don’t “smell the smoke,” email Mr. Queipo yourself. The time has come to reveal what Watchtower has hidden, for God has said, “I will pull up your skirts over your face that your shame may be seen.” (Jer. 13:26). From: Felipe Queipo Date: Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 1:25 PM Subject: RE: Jehovah's Witness as NGO To: Rachel Roman Dear Rachel, Thank you for reaching out to the United Nations Department of Global Communications with you inquiry. If your question is whether the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (also incorporated in the State of New York as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of New York) was associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information (former name of the Department of Global Communications) in 1991, please note that the organization applied in 1991 for such association, it was granted in 1992, and ended in 2001. While there used to be a letter from the former Chief of the NGO Section, Mr. Paul Hoeffel, posted on our website, it was removed a few years ago when the virtual site for our office was redesigned. I am attaching the letter for your reference. If you have any further questions on the subject matter, please do not hesitate to let me know. Best regards, Felipe Felipe Queipo Communications Officer Civil Society Association Focal Point Liaison with Faith-Based Organizations Civil Society & Advocacy Section Department of Global Communications United Nations E-mail: queipo@un.org | Tel: +1 (212) 963 7232 Friends, ask yourselves, did Jesus direct his disciples to report to a physical organization, let alone one that is led by a title not found in the scriptures, “governing body,” and who has hidden from its members association with the U.N., the very entity they (falsely) claim is the “image of the wild beast”?! And in regard to the term, “governing body”… did the apostles as the foundation of the spiritual temple/”Body of Christ” (Eph.2:19-22; 1 Cor.12:27-31; Eph.4:11-13) create or report to a “governing body”? Did they claim one must belong to a physical organization, let alone one led by false prophets identified as such by their failed predictions and fruit/teachings that expire…rot? “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them” (Matt. 7:15-20). “But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’ – when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him” (Deut.18:20-22). “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks” (John 4:23). “Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:42-45). “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…” (Acts 7:48) Elders/overseers, you are not part of the spiritual Temple of God, the Body of Christ, and, as in the pattern of ancient Israel, are not to serve in a priesthood capacity. However, the false prophet, “governing body,” has given you not-anointed elders/overseers authority over anointed to teach and judge them…you are “standing where” you “ought not to be,” defiling the Temple of God. This is a “disgusting thing” in God’s sight, and foretold to occur (Dan.11:31). Now, reader, do you understand, do you have discernment? (Mark 13:14; Matt. 24:15). If you do not flee, if you do not get out of Watchtower, you WILL “share in her sins” and “receive part of her plagues” (Rev.18:4). “‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I have had enough of all your detestable practices, house of Israel. When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in both heart and flesh, to occupy my sanctuary, you defiled my temple while you offered my food – the fat and the blood. You broke my covenant by all your detestable practices. You have not kept charge of my holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you. This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, may enter my sanctuary, not even a foreigner who is among the Israelites.” (Ezek. 44:6-9) “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” (1 Cor. 3:17). “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Heb.10:31) Please also visit another anointed person's blog who has written extensively on scripture, clearing up WT falsehoods: https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/02/jehovahs-genuine-mountain.html

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)!
