Watchtower's "TRUTH"

 

"If we were to draw away from Jehovah’s organization,  there would be no place else to go for salvation and true joy."  w93 9/15 pp. 20-23 

"Today, one of Satan’s main tactics is to obscure the TRUTH about Jehovah and about Jesus.  As the 'father of the lie', the Devil spreads lies about them by means of false religion." Wt. August 2026 p. 3

How can we reveal the Governing Body’s obscured

“TRUTH”? 

We can spell it out by using God's Word.  

T - "Make sure no one controls you. They will try to control you by using false reasoning that has no meaning. Their ideas depend on human TEACHINGS. They also depend on the basic spiritual powers of this world. They don’t depend on Christ." Colossians 2:8

"Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings" 1 Timothy 4:1

“They TIE up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.” Matthew 23:4

           

           

R -  "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are savage wolves. ¹⁶ You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they? ¹⁷ In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a ROTTEN tree produces bad ("evil"/rotten) fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire. ²⁰ So by their fruit you will know them.”  Matthew 7:15-20                                                                      

Discarded "fruit"

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you." John 15:16

U -  "A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the UNFAITHFUL feeds on violence." (Proverbs 13:2)

"You have planted wickedness and harvested evil. You have eaten the fruit that your lies produced. You have trusted your own power and in the multitude of you mighty men."  Hosea 10:13

"They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,
 storing up violence and destruction in their fortresses." Amos 3:10

^{12 "}They have lied about the Lord; they said, 'He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine.'¹³ The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them.” Jeremiah 5:12-13

"They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, “The Lord says,” when the Lord has not sent them. And they have made others to hope for the confirmation of their word.  It is surely because they have seduced My people, saying, “Peace,” when there was no peace. And when anyone builds up a wall, they daub it with whitewash. ("new light") Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore I am against you, says the Lord God." Ezekiel 13:6,8,10

"You unfaithful ("adulterous") people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So, whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy. ⁵ Or do you suppose that scripture is meaningless? Doesn’t God long for our faithfulness in the life he has given to us?"  James 4:4-5

"Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful, following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the LORD, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem."2 Chronicles 36:14

Say to rebellious Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough of your detestable practices, people of Israel! ⁷ In addition to all your other detestable practices, you brought foreigners uncircumcised in heart and flesh into my sanctuary, desecrating my temple while you offered me food, fat and blood, and you broke my covenant. ⁸ Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary. ⁹ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh is to enter my sanctuary, not even the foreigners who live among the Israelites." Ezekiel 44:6-9

"Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.  2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Today's anointed priesthood and spiritual temple of God: Isaiah 43:10; Malachi 2:7;1 Peter 2:5,9; Hebrews 8:10; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Ephesians 2:20-22; Revelation 5:9-10

Who has taken his seat in God's spiritual temple?  Who is the son of destruction?

“Representing the royal priesthood are appointed elders, who serve in positions of responsibility in congregations of Jehovah’s people around the world. Rather than challenge their authority, we truly appreciate our hardworking elders!” 2002/8/1 Wt.

"His forces will rise up and profane the fortified sanctuary, stopping the daily sacrifice. In its place they will set up the abomination that causes desolation." Daniel 11:31

Matthew 24:15-16; Daniel 8:24-25; Mark 13:14

If the statement must be made that the authority of the elder body over the anointed priests cannot be challenged, it is because nowhere in God's word will we find evidence that He approves of "foreigners"/Gentiles not anointed, representing His consecrated priesthood. In fact, transgressing this decree leads to death. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2 Chronicles 23:6-7; Numbers 18:7; 2Chronicles 13:9; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10; Romans 8:33)

T – Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the TRAMPLING underfoot of the Lord’s people?” Daniel 8:13

“The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god (the holy ones) and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place." Daniel 11:36

"The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words  and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation." Revelation 13:5,7

"Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard; they have trampled my plot of land. They have turned my desirable plot into a desolate wasteland." Jeremiah 12:10

"I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months." Revelation 11:1-2

H- "I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled." Hosea 6:10

"Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds."  Psalm 106:39

"For a HARLOT is a deep pit,
and a wayward woman is a narrow well;
²⁸ indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber
and increases the number of unfaithful people." Proverbs 23:27-28

“Among My people are the wicked
    who lie in wait like men who snare birds
    and like those who set traps to catch people.
²⁷ Like cages full of birds,
    their houses are full of deceit;
they have become rich and powerful
²⁸     and have grown fat and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
    they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;
    they do not defend the just cause of the poor.
²⁹ Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself
    on such a nation as this?"  Jeremiah 5:26-29

"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."  Acts 20:29-30

"For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." Matthew 24:24

Who is practicing harlotry, the breaking of their covenant with Jesus Christ?  (Hosea 8:1-6; 2 Corinthians 11:2-4,13-15; Hebrews 6:4-6; Revelation 13:11-12;17:1-6)

 “Jehovah’s people today follow the apostolic pattern. Under the direction of the Governing Body, men who meet the Scriptural requirements are appointed to serve as elders or ministerial servants in the congregations.” “We Must Obey God as Ruler” bt chapter 5 p. 42-43

The “apostolic pattern” never included men not anointed to serve as elders instead of God's priests, but only those who had received the outpouring of Holy Spirit, signifying their anointing. (1 John 2:20,27; Galatians 6:1; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 2 Corinthians 1:21; Romans 5:5; Ephesians 1:8) 

The apostle Paul tells us that he was a minister and "serving as a priest of the gospel of God". He would not have been the only active priest under Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:16; 1 Corinthians 6:2; Romans 2:29; Malachi 2:7; Hebrews 9:1,2,6,11-14; 10:15-17)  

He explained to the anointed about their many gifts of the priesthood to be used to serve the believers and also "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ". (Ephesians 4:12-13,1-8;1 Corinthians 12)

 Specifically, under their High Priest, Jesus Christ, and Head of the body, they were God’s choice to give testimony to truth, to teach, and to minister. (John 15:16; Matthew 28:19-20; Malachi 2:7; Exodus 40:15) 

The fallen anointed on the Governing Body have made an unholy alliance with the Gentile elder body, exalting them and calling them princes. (Exodus 23:32-33; Isaiah 31:1; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 1:10)

"Jesus, the King, provides 'princes,' or elders, who care for the flock."  mwb 17/1 p.3

Please consider reading Ezekiel chapter 34

These men represent the "spirit-directed" image of the organization/Beast from the Sea. (Matthew 24:48-51; Revelation 13:1-2,11-12,15-18; 16:13; 9:1-4; 20:8;19:20)

The anointed within the organization have been silenced and threatened not to challenge the elder's position over them.  (Luke 21:24; Revelation 13:10,Rev.9:7,3,10; Isaiah 23:8; Eze.44:6-9; John 16:2; Revelation13:11,15;19:20)

"This is especially true for those who follow after the corrupt cravings of the sinful nature and defy the Lord’s authority. These reckless, brash people aren’t afraid to insult the glorious ones" 2 Peter 2:10

Pearl Doxsey - 

The Governing Body has appointed the Gentile elders (Rom.2:28,29) to take over the job that Jesus assigned and expects of the anointed priests. The governing body have "appointed priests for themselves" (2Chron.13:6,9) to serve over the symbolic "sanctuary of the temple of God" (2Thess.2:4;  1Cor.3:16;  1Pet.2:5,9; Eph.2:20,21,22). 

Spiritual Gentiles (non-anointed) have taken over the job of anointed priests (Eze.44:6,7,8,9; La.1:10; Dan.11:31; Matt.24:15,16;  1Cor.6:2,3). They will pay dearly for this disrespect to YHVH. The harlot replaces the anointed priests whom God has chosen, because the Gentiles obey them better.

 Why? The interests of the Gentiles is not one of enduring an ignominious death for truth (Matt.25:6; Heb.13:13; 12:2; Phil.3:10; John 16:2), but they are enticed by power, dominion, prominence, and prestige (Dan.11:39,21,22,23). For this very reason, their subjection to the last harlot, will change (Rev.17:16,17).

Harlot and Beast

"The Disgusting Thing Standing in the Holy Place" - Matt. 24:15

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  John 14:6

“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem."  John 4:21

"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. 24 God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth"

THE IDOL

 

From the Watchtower 2017 April pp. 3-8; “What You Vow, You Pay”

“Recall that on your baptism day, before eyewitnesses, you were asked whether you had dedicated yourself to Jehovah and understood that “your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization.”  

This is not just any religious organization that we see Jehovah’s Witnesses have vowed to serve when getting baptized.  Its direction, guidance, and reproof are said to be vital to one’s salvation. (Leviticus 26:1; Exodus 20:3; Colossians 3:5;Isaiah 45:20; 42:8; Jonah 2:8)

It is quoted as a religion “based on the Bible”, yet it is inferred that both ”Jehovah” and the organization are equally important. (Isaiah40:25,28; Ezekiel 43:8) As a result, the Governing Body’s decrees, their doctrines, are primarily “based on” the existence of the organization, and not the words of God in Christ.  (Deuteronomy18:20; 1 Samuel 15:23; Psalm 50:16-17,19; Mark 7:7; John 5:43; John 7:17-18;John 6:63;1 John 4:1; Galatians 1:6-9)

The doctrine of these fallen, rebellious anointed, must be obeyed, leading to a spiritual cutting off from obedience to Jesus, and those same men direct the path this organization takes.  (Jeremiah 17:5; Proverbs 2:10-13; Hosea 8:1;Psalm 78:10,37; John 14:21,23; 1 John 3:24; 2 Corinthians 11:1-4,13-15; 2 Peter3:17; Hebrews 12:15; 1 John 2:19; Ephesians 5:15-16; 2 Peter 1:10; Colossians2:6-10,18-19; 1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 8:10-11; 13:11-12)

When they fail in their direction, they put the blame on Jesus Christ, by asserting he did not say the faithful slave would “produce perfect spiritual food”. (Isaiah 28:7; Matthew 12:36-37) According to the Greek Interlinear, Jesus asked in Matthew 24:45 - “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them “the Nurture/ nourishment (Strong’s G5160) in season”.  If these men were teaching the word of God, if they were led by the Holy Spirit, wouldn’t their plethora of magazines and books produced over the many years be lasting, life-giving, nourishing truth, amply supported by scripture? Wouldn’t Jesus expect their teachings to “nourish” one’s heart, instead of robbing it of spiritual truth?  (Isaiah 40:8; Proverbs 30:5; Amos8:11-13; Zechariah 8:16; John 15:4-8,16; John 6:63; 7:37-38; James 1:17; 1 Pet4:11,10; Ephesians 4:25)

For Jesus said to the woman at the well:

 “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)  In verse 14, Jesus continued: indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”  (John 4:14)

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”  (John 6:35)

Going back to the Greek Interlinear, in Matthew 24:45, the phrase “faithful and discreet” as Watchtower puts it, is rendered “believing” (Strong’s G4103) and “disposed/prudent”, meaning a willingness to be sensible, thoughtful and wise.  (Strong’s G5429). Could we ever imagine Jesus, the Logos, the Word (John 1:1) not providing the truth, the understanding of his words for his believing, faithful, wise servants who ask him; this Jesus - the Way, the Truth, and the Life? (John 14:6) In our physical bodies, hunger and thirst are the result when we have not received proper nourishment and clean water to live by. When it involves our eternal life, Jesus promises to provide spiritual nourishment for any who believe in him and obey his word. (John 1:14; 3:16; 10:10; Matthew28:19-20; 1 Timothy 4:16) 

Christ’s “faithful and wise slave” whom he has put in charge of his spiritual household, has a responsibility to obediently remain connected to the root, Jesus Christ, as a branch that produces “good fruit” and receives what some translations say as the “nourishing sap”, or the life-giving  spiritual richness of the wisdom of Jesus Christ.  (Isaiah 11:1-2; Proverbs 2:1-22;Psalm 37:30; 90:12; Romans 11:17-18; Matthew 7:15-20; Colossians 1:28; 2:3)

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”  Matthew 7:7-8

The members of the Governing Body use hypocritical excuses to cover over their lack of faith and their unbelief in the scriptures. (Leviticus26:14-16,20; Psalm 78:37; Proverbs 6:12-15; Hosea 4:1,6,12; Proverbs 30:20; Malachi2:7-8; John 3:18,36; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; James 4:8) 

They refuse to approach the true Father and His Son for the wisdom found in God’s word. (Proverbs 4:14-19; Jeremiah 17:13; John 5:39-40; Matthew7:21,24-27; John 8:44,43, 41,47,51,31-32; John 14:21; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 10:9-10,17;Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 13:9) 

This is the result of their hearts’ pursuits, leading to an anointed one’s downfall; riches, prominence, self-importance. (Matthew 24:4-5,24-25;Matthew 7:15; 2 Peter 3:17; Hebrews 3:12; Isaiah 10:1-2; Romans 1:28-29;12:2; 2Timothy 3:1-5,8-9; 1 John 3:10; Revelation 13:11-12,14-15; 1 John 3:12; Phil3:18-19, Col 3:5)

 “I don’t accept praise from humans. ⁴² But I know what kind of people you are. You don’t have any love for God. ⁴³ I have come with the authority my Father has given me, but you don’t accept me. If someone else comes with his own authority, you will accept him. ⁴⁴ How can you believe when you accept each other’s praise and don’t look for the praise that comes from the only God?”  John 5:41-44

“It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.”  Matthew 15:19

They revel in their entitlement as “benefactors”, who direct the predicted Wild Beast from the Sea, an organization with wicked roots that has arisen against the anointed in the last days. (Luke4:5-7; Luke 22:24-25; Luke 12:42;Philippians 2:3; Luke 22:26-27; Matthew 23:12; Jeremiah 51:7; Ezekiel 16:28; Matthew24:48-51; Revelation 17:3;13:1-2,4,7-9; 9:1-4,11;13:11-12,15)

The water they offer is a muddy, poisoned flood of lies, overcoming the kings of the earth; Christ's anointed kings. (Revelation 1:5; 5:9-10) and all with them. (Isaiah57:20-21;Proverbs 25:26; Ezekiel 34:17-19; Luke 17:27;Hebrews 12:15; Proverbs5:1-6; Revelation 8:10-11; 9:1; 17:3-6,15;Isaiah 28:14-15,18-19; Revelation12:15-16) 

The spiritual “food” they serve is discarded on a regular basis. (“new light”).  (Ezekiel13:8,10-12; Isaiah 28:7-10; Matthew 7:19; Luke 6:45) 

Rotten food creates a stench, thus the need to remove it completely out of reach of today’s generation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. (Proverbs13:5; Isaiah 3:10-11;19:14; John 6:27) There is no promise of eternal life in the teachings of these false prophets. (John 3:18-19) What they teach is woven around the presence of the organization – their idol, the stumbling block of all JWs. (Ezekiel 14:1-10;18:30; 44:12; Matthew 18:6; 1 Corinthians 10:21-22,32-33; Rom 1:25; Revelation 2:14) 

Its life-blood relies on the doctrine of men, outside of God's word.  (Psalm 73:7,11; Jeremiah7:19; 5:30-31; Psalm 10:13; Colossians 2:8; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 Timothy 1:3-4; 6:3-5; 4:1; Revelation13:4).  

Should an anointed servant of God have the insolence to state that he is indeed a faithful slave of Christ before his return to judge his servants?  These false prophets/spiritual traitors – harlots – have proclaimed that they will soon be taken up to heaven to rule along with Jesus Christ. (Matthew 25:14-30)    (Psalm 119:155; Proverbs 16:5; Ezekiel 21:25-27; Obadiah 1:1-4; Nahum 3:5; Revelation 2:21-23;17:1-2,16-18;18:7-8; 19:20)

"Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance."  Psalm 73:9-10

Who is Wormwood?  

“World” – “Earth” – “Home”  

Revelation 13:15 tells us that the false prophet (Revelation13:11-12;16:13-14) has been granted by the dragon to give spirit or "breath", to the Beast/organization, creating its image as “spirit-directed”, a term JWs are familiar with. However, they believe this is God's Spirit, granting His divine authority on the organization. This delusion of divine power requires one’s unity to all of the harlot’s teachings, in serving its needs, and in devotion and obedience.  (Isaiah 2:7-12,17-22;45:20-21; Matthew 6:24; 2 Corinthians 11:19-20; Romans 1:22, 25; Revelation13:4,8-10,16-17;6:15-17)   

God’s perceived presence in Spirit and His blessings are strictly experienced through the organization. (1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 89:11; Isaiah 66:1-2; Romans 8:38-39;1:18-23)

And when one of Jehovah’s Witnesses leaves the organization, it is said that the person has “left Jehovah”.  (Isaiah 40:18-20; 44:17;Isaiah 57:13,11,1; Psalm 34:18; 46:1; Matthew 11:28; John 14:6; 6:37; 8:19;16:2-3) 

Evil leaders of ancient Israel were responsible for misleading God’s people into idolatry and sinning against God commands. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5; 1 Kings 12:25-33) So too, in the Watchtower. 

“Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long are you going to struggle with the two choices? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, ( meaning “master”) follow him.” But the people did not answer him so much as a word.” 1 Kings 18:21

 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”  Matthew 6:24

 So, what really have Jehovah’s Witnesses dedicated their lives to?  Are they serving only God? Obviously, the opening quote above says otherwise, stating that the vow they have entered is to both “Jehovah” and the organization.  

Exodus 20:23 – “You will not make alongside me gods of silver, and gods of gold you will not make for yourselves.”

The Hebrew word translated as “alongside” is Strong’s H854, also means “together with, with [of relationship], a nearness”.  All of these meanings can replace the words “in association with” in the Watchtower quote above.  There is a tight, unbreakable relationship in the JW mind of God and the Watchtower organization.

“…you were asked whether you had dedicated yourself to Jehovah and understood that ‘your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with (“together with”) God’s spirit- directed organization”.

God’s word provides us with proof of idolatry committed by His anointed and all of Jehovah’s Witnesses. We should ask ourselves, is it God, or the organization, that expects their material donations and the work of their hands to build mega compounds? Along with complete dedication and devotion by its members, and Watchtower’s vast worldly investments, it hopes to assure a continued existence of the organizational idol that feeds the power and arrogance of its leaders; both the governing body and its army of elders. (Exodus 32:1-4; Isaiah 1:23; 2:7-9; Acts 7:48-51; Acts17:24-25,29)  (Isaiah 2:11; Matthew24:48-51; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Titus 1:7; Galatians 5:19-21,16-17; Luke 12:15;Psalm 73:12; Luke 4:5-7; 1 John 2:15-17 ;1 Tim 6:9-10)

Jesus said that his Kingdom was not of this world, and not to store our treasure on earth, but in heaven; that is, our faith, hope and trust in God’s word and His promises, and the understanding of His truth. (Job23:12; Proverbs 7:1-5; Isaiah 33:5-6; Matthew 6:19-21; John 17:17; Proverbs1:5;2:7; Colossians 3:16; 1 John 2:15-16) (Proverbs 3:13-18; 23:23; 8:11;Matthew 13:44,46; Colossians 2:2-3; Revelation 3:18)

 His faithful apostles and disciples did not build a physical organization as JWs are taught, but under Christ’s guidance, they nurtured individual hearts to draw close to God and His Son. (James 4:8;Jeremiah 29:12-13; Matthew 7:7;13:23;1 Peter 1:18-19)

They taught what God’s true “organization” is, that it is built with anointed “living stones” on the body of Christ, the temple dwelling of God’s Holy Spirit. (John 4:21,23-24; Acts 7:48-51; Acts 17:24-25,29; Hebrews11:10; Isaiah 66:1-2; John 2:19; 1 Peter 2:5,9; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians2:21-22; 5:23-27; 30-32; Revelation 14:1; Revelation 21:2-10)   

 Heavenly Mount Zion does not require the world’s wealth and power.  (1 John 5:19; Luke4:5-7; 2 Corinthians 11:3-4,13-15; 2 Peter 2:3;2 Corinthians 2:17;1 Corinthians5:11; Ephesians 5:5; James 1:11; 1 Timothy 6:9-11; Revelation 3:17-18)

The apostles, the foundation stones of truth in Christ upheld his words fully completely, knowing that only through him and the Father is salvation obtained, and not by any scheme that man would build with his hands. (Isaiah 32:7-8,6; Isaiah 12:1-3; 55:1-3,6,10-11; John 3:16; 1 Peter1:10-11,8-9; Ephesians 2:20-22; Revelation 21:1-5; 22:14-17)

For some of us now on the outside of the organization, anointed and not anointed, the glaring difference of following Christ as our example, against “moving ahead” with the Watchtower Organization and their false prophets’ example, reveals clearly the idolatry of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  (Acts 20:20,28-31; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 Timothy4:1; Colossians 2:8; Revelation 13:10,8-9; Acts 7:48-51; Jeremiah 7:8) (1 John5:20; John 3:18-19)

It is a confusing, evil snare, to secure the power, dominance and riches of a “wicked steward” while appearing pious and truthful, with sincere loving intentions.  (Luke 12:42-47) (Psalm 12:1-8; Proverbs 1:29-31; Jude1:16-19; John 8:44; Matthew 7:15-20; 24:25-25; 2 Timothy 3:5;1 Thessalonians2:5; Colossians 2:8; Romans 16:18; Revelations 16:13-16) 

Satan's seed by harlots / Spirit and Truth / Wicked Steward    

Ultimately, this organization is Satan’s brainchild, a very effective spiritual ruse to entice, capture, and to cut off the anointed from Jesus Christ in the days of the Great Tribulation.

  Pearl Doxsey:

Like a hunter who camouflages a trap; Satan has designed, created and fostered a lie, consisting of a whole society of reassuring fellows, who seem to be both informed, and loving. Truly, this is his magnum opus. Spirit confides to us, that "he knows his time is short" 
(Rev.12:12,17; Eze.21:21-22; Rev.13:1,4; 20:7-8; 16:13-16;  1Tim. 4:1; Rev.13:7,10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24). 
The result of his final "machination", is the Great Tribulation... though as is the case with the hunter's trap, it is so well camouflaged. It draws in anyone with a genuine interest in truth, and offers a surrogate that tastes sweet, but contains poison (Rev.10:10; 8:10-11;  1John 4:1; Rev.16:13,15; Matt.24:24-25) 

(2Thess.2:1-2,3; Rev.16:15; Joel 2:25,9; John 10:1,10; Matt.24:42-43). 

Is There a “Faithful Slave”?

Pearl continues -

Many have surrendered their thinking ability and perceptive powers (Heb.5:14;  1Tim. 1:19; 3:9), to be in captivity to an Organisation of men (Jer.10:23; Rev.13:16-17,7,10; Col.2:8), or are riveted by Current events in Satan's world...seeking the truthful interpretation of prophecy, there.

For those whose attention has been arrested by Satan's decoy, Satan will continue to fabricate an unfolding counterfeit fulfillment. 

We must break free (Ezek.39:25-27,28-29; Isa.52:1-2; 42:7; Luke 4:18; Rev.9:14; 16:12;  2Cor. 4:6; John 14:30 b), and seek out our safe and true escort...the truthful spiritual fulfillment of Jesus' prophetic warnings, which are the only safe route home to our reward (John 14:6; 17:17; Rom.3:4;  1John 2:20,27,28; Rev.22:6,16).

A Great Deception  

In that day a man will look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
⁸ He will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his fingers have made,
Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.

⁹ In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough
And an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.

¹⁰ Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
¹¹ In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

¹² Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
¹³ The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
¹⁴ Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.  Isaiah 17:7-14

I was reminded of Jeffrey Winder’s words this morning, when I listened to a video about the Governing Body. 

The Governing Body member states:

“While it is interesting to us how our understanding is clarified, what really touches our heart is why it’s clarified. Turn with me please to the book of Amos chapter 3.  And notice what Amos 3:7 says.  “For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.”  Doesn’t that convey Jehovah’s confidence in us?  Doesn’t it indicate his love, his loyalty?  Jehovah is actively involved in teaching his people, preparing us for what lies ahead.  He’s providing us with the understanding that we need when we need it.  And that is reassuring, isn’t it.” 

This man is essentially declaring that the organization’s “faithful and discreet slave”, the members of the Governing Body, are prophets.  (Matthew 24:45-51)

Their definition of a prophet: “One through whom divine purposes are made known.  Prophets act as spokesmen for God, conveying not only predictions but also Jehovah’s teachings, commands and judgments.  Amos 3:7; 2 Pet 1:21” (nwtstg)

According to the Watchtower 1986/4/15, God through His Holy Spirit “reveals” to these men “what season it is from his viewpoint”.  Again, Amos 3:7 is quoted in this article. 

And yet, Jehovah's Witnesses are also told:

“God’s people today are NOT prophets.  We are NOT inspired to add to Jehovah’s infallible words of truth found in the Bible.”  (God’s Word for Us Through Jeremiah, chapter 13)

On the one hand, God is revealing His purposes and His teachings to the prophets, the Governing Body, by means of His Holy Spirit.  On the other hand, these men who claim to be “faithful and discreet”, are NOT inspired as they have announced.  Thus, they are not inspired to receive what God reveals to His servants the true prophets, as the prophet Amos, tells us. 

In Amos 3:7, the Hebrew word for “revealed” means “to become clear, uncover”.  We might ask ourselves; how many times does "Jehovah" need to uncover, to make clear to the Governing Body when they are claiming to be prophets, the meaning of “generation” that Watchtower consistently must change? (Numbers23:19; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 55:10-11; Matthew 24:35)  They have connected it to the 1914 lie, making its meaning impossible to be revealed by false prophets. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3,9-10)  Has not David Splane and his generation chart added “to God’s infallible words of truth” in his effort to further confuse Jehovah’s Witnesses of its meaning?

See the Bible’s interpretation:  https://pearl-generation.blogspot.com/

 In Numbers 12:6, God says “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.”   Have the Governing Body members ever received dreams or visions of truth from God?  Obviously, it is evident by their consistent “rotten fruit”/teachings, that they have received no understanding from God. (Isaiah 59:2; 2 Chronicles7:14; Matthew 7:15-20; Luke 6:43-45)

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.'” Jeremiah 23:16

What is a tool used by FALSE prophets?

Crooked speech:

"Put away from you crooked speech,

    and put devious talk far from you.

²⁵ Let your eyes look directly forward,

    and your gaze be straight before you.

²⁶ Ponder the path of your feet;

    then all your ways will be sure.

²⁷ Do not swerve to the right or to the left;

    turn your foot away from evil."  Proverbs 24:24-27

"A worthless person, a wicked man,

    goes about with crooked speech,

¹³ winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,

    points with his finger,

¹⁴ with perverted heart devises evil,

    continually sowing discord;

¹⁵ therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;

    in a moment he will be broken beyond healing." Proverbs 6:12-15

Deception:

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ And in their greed they will exploit you with FALSE WORDS. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

 But these, like natural brute BEASTS, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, ¹³ suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. ¹⁴ They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!"  2 Peter 2:1-3,12-14

“Then I saw another BEAST rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON. ¹² It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, ¹⁴ and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. ¹⁵ And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain."   Revelation 13:11-15

This Beast breathes spirit into the “image” of the Wild Beast from the Sea, a rebellious organization of many people – “Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization”.

Isaiah 57:20 – “But the wicked are like the tossing SEA;

    for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt.”

Watchtower’s teachings are constantly in an uproar, stirring up lies that have no life to impart to the hearers. (Ezekiel 34:19; Ecclesiastes 7:25; Hosea 9:7;John 8:44; 1 Timothy 4:16; John 6:63) Peter calls the false prophets that arise in the last days, “brute beasts”.  As we read Revelation, it tells us about a Beast that is a false prophet.  It also tells us about the army that this composite “false prophet” uses to “mislead” and conquer God’s anointed, His “saints”. And the conquering is accomplished by deceit. (Matthew 24:24-25; 7:15; Acts 20:29-31; Colossians 2:8; 1 Timothy 4:1-2) 

The two Beasts together, face God's condemnation.  (Revelation 8:10-11;9:1-4; 13:1-2,4,5-10,13:11-18; 16:13-16; 20:7-9; 14:9-11;19:20)

And certainly, these men already know the definition of what a false prophet is, and they would deny at the convenient time, that they are  prophets.  Jeffrey Winder used the “proper time” to explain Watchtower’s ongoing “new light”, claiming that indeed, they are prophets of God, blessed with new understanding.   

Matthew 24:24-26 – “For false christs (“anointed”) and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect (“chosen”). ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.”

1 Tim 4:1 - “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, ² through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared”

Pearl Doxsey:  "Who Provoked God’s Anger?"  https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2024/10/who-provoke-gods-anger.html

Do we want to be misled by a false prophet or lying preacher who is inspired by demons? 

Rev. 16:13-14; 1 Tim 4:1

Does God want us to be mislead? (2 Pet.3:9)

What about Jesus?

He said;

"15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Clearly Jesus expects us to be wary of being misled by false teachers, preachers, ministers, and prophets (Matt.24:4-5,24-25; Rev.2:20). Of course! ...because he wants us to walk in the way, the truth, and the life. We cannot have any of those blessings, if we are misled.
