The Spirit-Directed Organization

 

Jesus said, “Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them!" Luke 21:8

"For those who guide this people have been leading them astray, and those who are guided by them are swallowed up."  Isaiah 9:16

"Your prophets saw visions for you that were empty and deceptive; they did not reveal your iniquity and so restore your fortunes. They saw pronouncements for you that were empty and misleading."  Lamentations 2:14

"This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:

'Don't listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you; they're giving you false hopes.  They declare visions from their own minds - they don't come from the Lord!'"  Jeremiah 23:16

"If a prophet acts like a fool and speaks a message, I, the Lord, have made a fool of that prophet. I will stretch out my hand against him, and I will destroy him from among my people Israel. 10 They will bear their guilt. The guilt of the one who seeks guidance will be the same as the guilt of the prophet!"  Ezekiel 14:9-10

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  Matthew 11:28-19

Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  John 8:12

“How blessed is the person who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in a meeting with mockers.

² But his delight is in the teaching of the Lord,
and on his teaching he meditates day and night”. Psalm 1:1-2  

Every false teaching, date, promise, prediction, and shifting doctrines, holds Jehovah's Witnesses in complete darkness. (James 1:16-17; Ephesians 4:14)  And when we are surrounded by the blackest darkness, we are completely blind to where we are going. (Isaiah 59:10,8; 56:10; 1 John2:11; Luke 4:14-19; Isaiah 42:7)

Jesus has no part in such teachings. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4,13-15; Galatians1:6-7; Jude 1:4)

He is pure Truth; he is light and life. ( Psalm 25:5; 43:3; Isaiah 45:19; John 1:4-5;3:16,21;14:6, 15-17; 2 Corinthians 4:6;Isaiah 60:1)

He would never accept anointed teachers or prophets who speak anything other than what is sourced in the Spirit of truth, the Spirit that is within him, that they would receive and be guided by.  (John 15:1-4,16:13; 3:34; 4:23; 6:63)

That is, if they remain in him. To be "in the truth", would be "in Christ", who is truth, the Word of God. (John 15:4; 1 John2:24,27; Romans 11:22)  JWs say they are "in the truth", but this equates to being a member of an idol; having registry with a physical organization that they must dedicate themselves to, as servants to whatever its mission requires of them.  (Romans 6:16; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 3:24;  Matthew 6:24; Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:9-10,4,12,16-17)

The dark, forever failing teachings and rules of the organization have no source, no compatibility in and with, the Father or the Son.  (Psalm 82:5;Lamentations 3:2; Jeremiah 13:16; Micah 3:5-7)

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: ²³ Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.”  Exodus 20:22-23

This completely rules out "Jehovah and his organization".

But the cajoling, the smooth talk of its leaders, desperately conveys consolation to their own shrinking numbers of misled sheep.  Many are tired of the false promises and changes which were not made by God, but by the leaders themselves, fulfilling their greedy needs for continuous riches and power.  All of their historical and present promises have failed, and will continue to fail. (Jeremiah 9:5; Proverbs 14:5; 2 Peter2:1-3,17)

In the past, God labeled His people as spiritually immoral, as prostitutes when they diverted from His decrees by setting and following their own.  It most always included idolatry, resulting in the breaking of their covenant with Him.  (Jeremiah 3:9; Ezekiel 16:59; Mark 7:21-22; Revelation 2:20)

There is much said about the immoral spiritual woman in the Bible, who lures her victims with soothing lies:

"The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit. The man who is under the Lord’s wrath will fall there." Proverbs 22:14

“Her feet go down to death;

    her steps lead straight to the grave.
⁶ She gives no thought to the way of life;
    her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”  Proverbs 5:5-6

"She is also like a robber waiting to ambush someone,
and she multiplies unfaithful men among the people." Proverbs 23:28

A deep pit signifies the abyss; Sheol, Hades - complete blackness and blindness; “not perceiving”, which is the meaning of the Greek word, “Hades”. How does one fall into endless darkness?  

 By listening to the promises coming from the spiritual prostitute's mouth. (Colossians2:8; 1 Timothy 4:1; Luke 6:45-46,43-44; Revelation 13:10) 

"What is Sheol/Hades?"  (link)

 And by "eating" such "bad fruit" – teachings produced on a vine that she has attached herself to; a vine other than that of Jesus Christ (John 15:1-8). 

Those who live in darkness eat "fruit" that is filled with poison.  (Matthew 24:24-25;12:33-34,35-37; Deuteronomy 32:32-33; Amos 6:12; Jeremiah 23:15; Revelation8:10-11)  

And what are those robbed of, who listen to and eat “bad fruit”? The light of Jesus Christ; the truth, that is our salvation.  (Isaiah 9:2; 42:16; John 10:10; 14:6; 8:12;12:46; John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 4:6)

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

⁷ Therefore do not be partners with them.

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light ⁹ (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) ¹⁰ and find out what pleases the Lord. ¹¹ Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. ¹² It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. ¹³ But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. ¹⁴ This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
    rise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”  Ephesians 5:6-14

And the wandering dark path of the prostitute?  It is reflected in her teachings, the continuous need for the governing leaders to “adjust” what is called “truth” when freshly presented, only later to be found rotten.  (Jeremiah 51:34; Jude 1:13;Galatians 1:6-7; Micah 7:4; Isaiah 56:10; Isaiah 29:9-10) (Matthew 7:15-20)

⁴ With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! ¹⁵ They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. 2 Peter 2:14-15

Notice what this elder below has learned to emulate from the anointed governing leaders, who teach their own poisonous ways, and have rejected the words of God in Jesus Christ…"because the lips of an immoral woman drip with honey, and her words are as smooth as olive oil, but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood." (Proverbs 5:3-4) 

It takes work as we see by their rapidly changing doctrine, to effectively, efficiently coat their lies over with more false promises, false comfort, false hope of peace. (Ezek 13:6-12)

The organization is represented by the elder body, a powerful counterfeit priesthood ruling over all, including the anointed “saints”, the genuine priests of God and Christ. (2 Chronicles 13:9, 23:6; Numbers 18:7; Ezek44:6-9; Daniel 12:11; 8:11; 9:27; 11:31; Mark 13:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; 1Corinthians 3:16-17; Revelation 11:1-2; 13:7)

"Abomination of Desolation toward the Constant Feature/Daily Sacrifice" (link)

 The elders are the second power in charge, the governing leaders being the first. (Mark 10:42-45; Revelation 9:1-4,7; 13:11-14) They are the forceful mouthpiece of this organizational image of "spirit-directed", as if imbued with power from God.  The elder body gives it a voice, speaking on behalf of its image. Essentially, they are the Beast, false gods themselves, and the living reality of the Beast's presence, with the power to carry out the organization’s decrees. (Revelation13:5-7,15)  

Someone early on within the line of Wt's. leadership (Revelation 13:1), fabricated the idea to consecrate the organization, as if dedicating it to God as His own. Thus, by teaching such a lie, this leader "breathed" spirit into it, to teach the twisted doctrines of men. (Proverbs 30:6; Mark 7:6-8,13;John 8:44)

Jesus foretold this to occur 2,000 years ago. (Matthew24:24-25; Acts 20:28-31) Revelation 13:15 tell us that the false prophet of Revelation13:11-12, gives “breath” to the image of Beast from the sea, the abyss. (Isaiah 17:12; 57:20)

 Are you aware that even the Wt. calls this Beast an organization? What other worldly organization would boast that it is "spirit-directed"? Obviously, Revelation’s beast that emerged from the sea is not political, but religious.  It has the power through deceit spoken by false prophets, to overcome the anointed “saints”. (Luke 21:20,24; Colossians2:8; Revelation 13:10,11-14,8; Romans 1:25)

The spirit from the mouth of this false prophet did not originate with God, who has nothing to do with a physical organization built in Satan's realm. (1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 16:13-16)  God’s entire focus is on His spiritual temple built on the body of His Son, and the priests He has chosen with Jesus our High Priest.  (Acts 17:24-25; Hebrews 9:11; 1Peter 2:5,9; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; Ephesians 2:6,20-22)

No, the motivation, the drive of the organization and of those who represent it, is established in the "desires of the flesh and of the mind", "according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience".  Ephesians 4:2-3

Jesus, as the Word of God, the Logos, breathed on his disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit!"  (John 20:22) His apostles became the foundation of truth, with Jesus as the chief cornerstone of God's temple dwelling in Spirit.  (Ephesians1:9-12; 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Corinthians 2:16; Ephesians 2:20-22; Revelation 14:1;Isaiah 2:2-3)

 Now consider 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

But we have a dichotomy with the Beast. Through the spirit of deception, all of the doctrines and decrees of the organization have been “breathed out” by false prophets, for the reproof, training, correction in line with an earthly organization and its image as an idol; a substitute "temple" of worship. (1 John 4:1,6; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; Revelation 16:13-14;Ephesians 6:12)   (Deuteronomy 13:1-4;18:20-22)

"The Living Idol" (link)

Revelation 13:1-2 tells us that this Beast came up out of the abyss, out of the sea of man, and belongs to Satan. These governing leaders have given the elder body the power to use their authority to silence, even spiritually “kill” any who defy, who rebel against their sacred IDOL – “Jehovah’s Organization”. This too was written down in Revelation. The symbolic sword of death is wielded against anointed ones as well, who stand up for the light and truth in Jesus Christ. (Mark 13:9;John 16:2-3; Mark 8:35; Revelation 13:15;6:9-10)  

Jesus is the means by which we learn to know the direction to go. Through him we learn God's purpose for us. (John 1:7; 8:12; 10:27;Psalm 101:6; John 6:68; Galatians 2:20; Acts 26:18)

His living water is sweet, not bitter which is the deathly aftertaste of ingesting a lie, a promise never fulfilled. (John 4:10-11;7:38; Psalm 23:1-3; Revelation 22:1-2,19)

Bitter, ultimately poisonous water is spoken of in Revelation as well, and is offered by a fallen, lying anointed one; a rebel against God who teaches by the spirit of falsehood. (Deuteronomy 29:18-21; Jeremiah 17:13; 2:13; 2 Peter 3:17; 1 Timothy 3:7; Hebrews12:15-17;  Timothy 4:1; Revelation 8:10-11;13:11-12;John 8:44; Revelation 16:13-14) 

About the coming of the Kingdom, the elder says

"And we wonder why hasn't Jehovah brought it sooner than he has."  

“Present your case,” says the Lord.
“Bring forward your best arguments,” says Jacob’s king.
²² “Bring your idols so they can tell us what’s going to happen. Explain past events that your idols told you about so that we may consider them and know what their outcome will be. Tell us about future events.

²³ Tell us what’s going to happen
so that we may know that you are gods.
Yes, do something, good or evil,
to intimidate us and make us afraid.
²⁴ You are nothing!
You can’t do anything!
Whoever chooses you is an abomination.  Isaiah 41:21-24

Regardless of what the elder says, which is not to worry about what will come in the future, indeed, it is time to worry.  It is time to flee.  (Jeremiah 51:6-7,25-26; Revelation 18:4-8,21; Matthew 18:6; Revelation 18:1-2; Zechariah 4:6-7; Revelation 19:20; 20:10) 

"First, you must understand this: In the last days people who follow their own desires will appear. These disrespectful people will ridicule God’s promise by saying, “What’s happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of the world.”  2 Peter 3:3-4

¹⁶ This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
    they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds,
    not from the mouth of the Lord.
¹⁷ They keep saying to those who despise me,
    ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts
    they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’
¹⁸ But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord
    to see or to hear His word?
    Who has listened and heard His word?
¹⁹ See, the storm of the Lord
    will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
²⁰ The anger of the Lord will not turn back
    until He fully accomplishes
    the purposes of His heart.
In days to come
    you will understand it clearly.
²¹ I did not send these prophets,
    yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
    yet they have prophesied.
²² But if they had stood in my council,
    they would have proclaimed My words to My people
and would have turned them from their evil ways
    and from their evil deeds." Jeremiah 23:16-22

 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers

    who rule this people in Jerusalem.
¹⁵ You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
    with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
    it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
    and falsehood our hiding place.”

¹⁶ So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
    will never be stricken with panic.
¹⁷ I will make justice the measuring line
    and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
    and water will overflow your hiding place.
¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be annulled;
    your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
    you will be beaten down by it.
¹⁹ As often as it comes it will carry you away;
    morning after morning, by day and by night,
    it will sweep through.”

The understanding of this message
    will bring sheer terror.  Isaiah 28:16-19

For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
    and he examines all your paths.
²² The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
    the cords of their sins hold them fast.
²³ For lack of discipline they will die,
    led astray by their own great folly.  Proverbs 5:21-23

Faithful, or Unfaithful?

 

(Click "View Web Version" at the bottom of the page to access scripture links)

I have spoken to Jehovah’s Witnesses in the past, who don’t seem to really remember or understand that the genuine anointed among today’s governing leaders were spiritually anointed as priests/kings, as are all anointed ones.  (Exodus 30:30; Exodus 19:6; Leviticus 8:12; 2 Corinthians 1:21; Romans 15:16; 1 Peter 2:5,9;  Revelation 1:5; 5:9-10)  

We know that the early priesthood served God through the temple duties by offering sacrifices for atonement of sins and maintaining the temple. Along with other various duties, they were to teach the people the laws of God. (Leviticus 6:12-13; 24:1-9; Leviticus 10:8-11; Ezra 7:10; Ezekiel44:23; Malachi 2:7; Matthew 28:19-20) 

They also offered prayers to God in all matters, including giving praise to the Father, and asking for proper guidance and judgment for His people.  (Exodus 30:7-8; Numbers 6:22-27;Leviticus chapter 21; Deuteronomy 21:5; Ezekiel 44:24; Hebrews 10:11; Isaiah43:10; 1 Peter 2:9; Hebrews 13:15) 

Aaron’s role as high priest was to oversee and consecrate God's priesthood, and he also was the mediator between God and Israel. He entered the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle once a year to make atonement for the sins of the people. (Exodus 29:4-9; Leviticus 16:2,12-13; 23:6,11,15,20;Hebrews 5:1-4; 9:22)

When the priesthood was fully devoted to doing God’s will assigned for them, their service to God in His temple was the primary focal point of their life, and the people of Israel were blessed under God’s protection.  (Exodus19:5-6; Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Malachi 2:4-6; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Hebrews 12:14) 

Today, we have Jesus Christ as our mediator, our High Priest. Through his shed blood, he has made atonement once and for all, for the sins of those who have faith and believe and are obedient to his teachings. (Matthew 26:28; John 14:6; Hebrews 2:16-18; 5:5-10; 7:27; 8:1-6;1 Peter1:18-19; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19; John 3:16; 7:38; 5:24; 12:48; 1 John 2:25)    

Jesus is also the chief cornerstone of God's house, the Head of God’s spiritual temple, who along with the apostles and prophets formulate the foundation of truth.  (1Chronicles 17:10-15; John 2:19-21; Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 5:23,25-27; Hebrews9:11; Colossians 1:15,18;1 Corinthians 3:11; 12:27-28; 6:2; 1 Peter 2: 4-10; 1Corinthians 3:10,11,16; Philippians 3:17; Ephesians 2:20-22; Revelation 21:9-10) 

But there are lies that the governing leaders teach about Jesus, which concerns his role as High Priest of God's dwelling in Spirit. (1 Peter 2:5,9; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17;Ephesians 2:22)  

Here are only a few:

1 – Although Jesus should have full authority over his own priesthood, the governing leaders expect all anointed under their power to answer directly to them and their army of “Gentile” elders, who represent the organization. (Micah 3:9) They expect recognition and obedience to the organization, diverting all attention away from the spiritual temple of God, built on the body of Jesus Christ. (Colossians 1:18; Heb 9:11,23-24;6:4-6; Hebrews 3:12; Matthew 10:33) 

This is fostered by the false belief that the anointed will not act as priests until the Kingdom of God arrives. (Wt 26/9 p. 22, par. 9)

God’s word says otherwise: John 2:19-22; Acts 7:48-51; Matthew16:18; Ephesians 1:22; 3:10; Isaiah 43:10; Malachi 2:7; Matthew 28:19-20; John 17:20;Romans 15:16; 1 Peter 2:5,9; Hebrews 13:15 

They tell the anointed priests -

(Wt 16/1 p.24/par 8) “In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. They do not seek out others who claim to have the same calling, hoping to bond with them or endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study. Such efforts would cause divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit, which promotes peace and unity.​—Read Romans 16:17,18"

Okay then; let’s do that. 

Romans 16:17,18 - “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. 

When teaching about the anointed body of Christ/God’s temple, Paul tells us,

“so that there should be no division in the body but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ²⁶ If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”  1 Corinthians 12:25-26

Although the members of Christ’s body are the chosen ones to serve God as priests (1 Peter 2:5,9; Romans 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:4-13; Revelation5:9-10)...

...in the organization, it is not possible for the anointed who are scattered, separated by a sea of Jehovah’s Witnesses, to seek out their fellow anointed brothers and sisters in Christ (Lamentations 4:1,16; Jeremiah 23:2; Habakkuk 1:3-4; Obadiah 1:10; Matthew 24:48-49; Luke 19:44)...

...without the threat of unfavorable consequences for attempting to do so.  (John 16:2-3; Hebrew 13:13; Revelation 13:15; 6:9-10; Mark 8:35)

All possibility of “two or more” anointed to gather before him in prayer, asking for his guidance in Spirit (Matthew 18:20), has been crushed by such twisting of God’s word, as we read in the quote above. (Isaiah 5:20; Matt24:24-25; 1 John 4:1; Ephesians 5:6; Titus 1:9; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1Timothy 4:1;James 1:21)

And what is the obstacle that keeps the anointed from joining together as a body under their High Priest?  It is the “mountainlike organization” and its image as “spirit-directed” – an idol that has raised itself up above God’s spiritual temple. (Exodus 20:4-6; Romans 1:25; Hosea 14:1; Revelation 2:14;13:1-4,11-12,15,7; Zechariah 4:6-7; Revelation 8:8 ) 

God’s priests have been restricted from serving Him, from offering their sacrifices of praise in truth, and teaching the words of God in Jesus Christ, supported by their forefathers, the apostles. (Daniel 8:11-13;11:31; Matthew 24:15-16; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17) (Malachi 2:7;1 Cor 12:7-8; Matt25:14,22-23; Acts 2:42; John 14:6; Heb 13:7,17; 2 Peter 3:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:15)  

Instead, it is human doctrine that they preach, devised for the advantage of the organization’s ongoing existence, and as a demonic challenge against those who belong to Christ. (Hebrews 13:9,20-21,15; Galatians 1:8-9; Luke22:31; 21:8; Daniel 8:11,10; 7:23; Revelation 13:10,7) 

This has been predicted to occur through prophecy; an unholy alliance of power to come upon the remaining anointed before the coming Kingdom of God. (Revelation 13:7,10; Luke 21:6,24; Revelation 11:2; Daniel8:10-12,19; 7:25; 11:31-33,36-37; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)   

See: "The Greatest Tribulation - What and Why?" (link)

About those causing division by their false teachings, Romans 16:17,18 continues:

“Keep away from them.”

 ^{18 “}For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.”

2 - All obedience is given to these men and their deceptive teachings; which supersede the teachings of Jesus Christ.

“’They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands.  You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other similar things.” Mark 7:7,13

As the meaning of the word “vain” was pointed out recently by an anointed friend, it is defined as worship and teachings that are “fruitless, through the idea of tentative manipulation”. (Matthew 7:15-20)  Yes, these leaders endeavor to manipulate the hearts and minds of the anointed with “empty philosophy”, to their own advantage.  (Colossians 2:8; 1 Timothy4:1; Ephesians 5:6; Revelation 13:7,10-12,14-17; Proverbs 22:7)

“’Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!’”? ²² Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. ²³ These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.” Colossians 2:21-23

“After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools! ²⁰ You put up with it when someone enslaves you, takes everything you have, takes advantage of you, takes control of everything, and slaps you in the face.”  2 Corinthians11:19-20

This leadership has taken full control of the authentic priesthood of whom each one should stand up for their Head and High Priest, Jesus Christ, and his words of truth.  (Malachi1:6; Hosea 4:6; 2 Corinthians 11:1-3; 13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; Revelation3:18;2:5,20-23; Hebrews 10:36-39; Colossians 1:18-20)

3 – Jesus  said in John 14:14,13 – “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” 

(Watchtower’s The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Scriptures, page 499:  John 14:14, word for word – “if ever anything you should ask me in the name of me this I shall do”)

Not one anointed priest as well as all Jehovah’s Witnesses, dare ask Jesus in prayer for divine understanding, since it is taught that this is giving him worship. Because of this falsehood, all priests are deliberately cut off from the body of Christ at the hands of rogue anointed, who made the choice to break their covenant with God and Jesus. They have basically stepped in as the high priest over all anointed. (Isaiah 24:5; Hosea 8:1-6; Matthew 24:24-25;1 John 2:18-19; Galatians 5:7; John 12:48; Romans 10:3; Matthew 13:15; Hebrews10:26-27; Hebrews 12:15-17; Revelation 8:10-11; Revelation 13:1-2;17:3,5,15)

There is no accepted connection through prayer with both the Father and the Son, who is the “light of the world”.  (John 1:1-5,11-12; 8:12; 6:63-65; Matthew21:22; Mark 11:24; Philippians 2:9-10; John 14:6-7; John 5:22-23)  

And if this light of truth cannot be reached, then the darkness of lies prevails and remains in each oppressed, trampled-down anointed heart, who chooses to follow and obey unfaithful leaders. (Jeremiah 13:16; Lamentations3:2,5,7; Psalm 82:5; Luke 21:20,24; Colossians 2:8; Revelation 13:10,5-7) (John1:5; 3:20-21; 2 Corinthians 4:2-6; Ephesians 4:17-18; Matthew 13:11)

(Matthew 24:14-16; Mark 13:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4; 1Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 3:17) 

See: "Trample" - How Does it Happen? (link)

“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”  Galatians 1:10

All Jehovah’s witnesses serve the needs of this deceitful alliance by submitting their entire lives to the organization that the leadership has developed. (Revelation 13:4,15-17) What a difference when we think of Jesus’ example.  

In Mark 10:44-45, Jesus says, “and whoever wants to be first among you will be a slave of all. ⁴⁵ 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.”

Governing leader, Mr. G. Jackson, made the comment that it is important not to go beyond what is written, quoting 1 Corinthians 4:6, when speaking about their recent changes in the blood doctrine.  We should consider Paul’s words surrounding this verse that he partially quoted:

“Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be arrogant, favoring one person over another.” 1 Corinthians 4:6

Is it not true that these leaders favor themselves over any other anointed? Is that not what Jehovah's witnesses do as well, when they are told not to give the anointed undue attention, or ask about their anointing? Yet, in full obedience they hang on to every word their governing leaders and elders tell them. 

Favoritism is widely practiced through their pride-driven hierarchy of prestige. (2 Samuel 23:3-4; Luke 22:24-27; James 2:1-4; Luke 6:24-26; Ephesians6:5-8; Rom 12:3-5; 1 Cor 12:7,21-22,25,16; Col 2:18-19)

“For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.”  1 John 2:16

The teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles, is given little to no attention under the looming deceptive religious power outlined in the book of Revelation – a false prophet and the organization it directs.  (Psalm 89:14; John 14:6; Romans 2:16; 1Timothy 3:15) (Revelation 8:8-10; 9:1-4; 16:13-16; Revelation13:1-2,4,7,11-12,14-16)

“I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. I do not accept glory from human beings, ⁴² but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. ⁴⁴ How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?”  John 5:43,41-42,44

Mr. Jackson’s scriptural reference continues: “For who makes you so superior?  What do you have that you didn’t receive?”  (1 Corinthians 4:7)

These men have stated with confidence that although they are not inspired by the Holy Spirit of God, they are Christ’s “faithful slave” appointed to serve His spiritual household. (Matthew 24:45-46) How did they receive that information if Holy Spirit is not within them, the pouring out of the Spirit of Jesus upon their personal anointing? (Proverbs 4:13; John 15:4; 1 John2:27; Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Hebrews 3:14; 2 Timothy 3:14; Hebrews 4:14)  

And how many changes over the decades have they made about who is the “faithful slave” of Matthew 24:45? The words I read from their article for their most recent change based on their false date of 1914, was that “it makes sense” for them to assume this role over all anointed members and JWs in the organization. (Wt 13/7/15 p. 21)

What presumptuous foolish thinking, by firstly admitting they lack any spiritual inspiration from Jesus Christ but still go ahead and call themselves his “faithful slave”. (1 John 2:19; Acts 20:30; 3 John 1:9; 1John 4:20)

What makes them superior from all other anointed who are barred from contributing spiritual food within God’s house? Are they true prophets sent from God? No, fully recognized by their long list of doctrinal failures. (Deuteronomy18:21-22; Lamentations 2:14; Jeremiah 5:31; 14:14; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 715-20) 

Is it power, dominance, pride; the lust for fleshly desires?  Yes! That is the complete picture. (2 Peter chapter 2)

They have settled not for God’s words of wisdom in His Son, but earthly power and dominance over others, over their own brothers in Christ. Obviously, they have exchanged the gift of Holy Spirit once poured into their heart, for the gift of spirit from another source.  (John 8:44,47; 1 Timothy 4:1; Ephesians 2:1; Romans1:28-32) (Proverbs chapter 4)

They have successfully created division within the body of Christ, and an insurmountable stronghold that has cut the anointed off from their High Priest. (Habakkuk 1:9-11; Job 30:12; Daniel 11:15; Luke 21:20-21,24; Lamentations2:2; 2 Corinthians 11:1-4; Romans 14:4,7-13; 1 Corinthians 11:19; 2 Corinthians10:3-5)

1 Corinthians 4:7 continued: “If, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as if you hadn’t received it? 

If Jesus Christ chose to anoint them to do God’s will within His household, then why is all glory, reverence and obedience to be showered upon them, over the Son of God? This decision to title themselves something that only is made known when Jesus returns, was a “delusion of their own mind”. (Matthew 25:21) (Jeremiah 14:14; Psalm 82:1-8) It was not from God, but from the master they have come to serve. (John 8:44) And it has resulted in the exposure of their true identity that Jesus warned us about, in Matthew 24:48-51.

1 Corinthians 4:8-10 - You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us—and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you! ⁹ For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 

Compare the lifestyle of these leaders to Jesus and the apostles. Think about their confident boasting when stating they will reign with Christ, despite their record of false/failing predictions and twisted policies.  Their teachings are based on their fleshly desires to preserve and expand their earthly organization. (Galatians5:17; Romans 8:5-8,14; James 1:14-15; 1 Timothy 6:9-10; 1 John 2:16)  

There is no wisdom, no insight into God’s holy word. Their kingdom in which they already “reign” as kings, is not with Jesus (Revelation5:9-10), but has been granted to them by another spirit in his realm. (1 John 5:19; 1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation16:13-16) 

Luke 4:5-6 in the NWT: “So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. ⁶Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.”

The “inhabited earth” (Greek, “oikumene”) is the spiritual habitation of God; His owned land symbolized by the anointed heart. (Isaiah 66:1; Matthew13:18-19,23; 1 Corinthians 3:9; 1 Peter 2:5, Ephesians 2:22; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Revelation 16:13-16)  

"Armageddon" (link)

Yet, their authority as priests who should be instructors of God’s word, and the glory that should reflect the glory of God and Jesus in Spirit and truth, has been robbed from them. (Jeremiah 7:8-11; Jer 7:1-3,6-11; John 10:7-10; Dan 11:36-39; Ezek 22:25-26;  Psalm 50:22-23; Psalm 50:16-21; Jer 9:5-9; Zech 5:3-4; Jer 2:26,8,31-32,34-37; Obadiah 1:6-7; Ezek 21:24-27; Rev 17:16-18; Rev 18:4-5,11-13,15,19-20)

As happened in Ezekiel’s day, it has happened to God’s spiritual temple of “living stones” during the existence of Watchtower organization. These leaders ruling as “faithful and discreet” over God’s spiritual house, have appointed “Gentiles”, the elder body not anointed, as “representatives of the royal priesthood”; ultimately installing a worldwide counterfeit priesthood. (2 Chronicles 13:9; Ezek 44:6-9; Daniel 12:11; 8:11; 9:27; 11:31) (See 02/8/1 pg. 13, par.18,20) 

It may appear to JWs that this decision is from God, but according to His word, it is clearly the “abomination standing in the holy place” of Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 11:1-3. It is an arrangement made by men to serve the organization that they call “Zion”.

“Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel. 7 In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant. 8And 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 lives among the Israelites.  Ezekiel 44:6-9

But do these words of Ezekiel really still apply for today’s anointed priesthood, when God’s temple is spiritual, not physical?  (John 2:19-20; 1 Peter 2:5,9; Ephesians2:20-22; Revelation 5:9-10)

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 -  Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy. And you are His temple.

Compare 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, to the words the Lord told Aaron the High Priest, in Numbers 18:7

⁷ Now you and your sons with you, are to maintain your priestly duties and all matters that concern the altar and what is housed within the veil. You are to perform these services. I’m giving you the priesthood as a gift of service, but any unauthorized foreigner who approaches is to be put to death.”

When the anointed believe and live by the doctrine of men who have eliminated what should be active “priestly duties”, their hearts are defiled through their service to men and their organizational idol. (Haggai2:12-14; Jeremiah 32:34; 2:23; Hosea 10:13; Titus 1:15-16; Revelation2:2,9,14,20-21; Revelation 13:4,8; Psalm 40:4)

The threat of death to come against the one transgressing God’s spiritual temple is as just as real now, as it was in Aaron’s day.  (Revelation 11:1-3; 13:1-2,4,5-7,11-12,18; 2Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 19:20; 20:10)

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - “What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? ²⁰ You were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 - "Do not be yoked together with those who do not believe. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? ¹⁵ What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, as God said:

I will dwell and walk among them,
and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
¹⁷ Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord;
do not touch any unclean thing, and I will welcome you.
¹⁸ And I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty."

The apostle Paul said,

“So, brothers and sisters, because of God’s mercies, I encourage you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice that is holy and pleasing to God. This is your appropriate priestly service. ² Don’t be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you can figure out what God’s will is—what is good and pleasing and mature. ³ Because of the grace that God gave me, I can say to each one of you: don’t think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. Instead, be reasonable, since God has measured out a portion of faith to each one of you.” Rom 12:1-3

The appropriate active priestly service that the apostles lived by, was sacrificing their life for one goal, to give witness to Jesus Christ, to truth, and the glory of God. (Romans 15:15-16; 2 Corinthians 4:6,15;6:3-11)

This teaching has been ignored and mocked by the lifestyle of the those who rule over the anointed, as they reside in comfort and security, having all their physical needs met by their devoted followers. (Jeremiah 6:13-15; 1Thessalonians 5:1-9)

Without Christ’s approval, they confidently portray themselves as pious men doing God’s will, even if they administer direction that is “not sound from a human standpoint”.  Does that agree with the words of Christ’s apostles?

“If anyone teaches different doctrines and does not devote himself to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, ⁴ he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. Instead, he has a morbid craving for controversies and battles over words, things that produce envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, ⁵ and constant frictions among people whose minds are depraved, who have lost hold of the truth, imagining that their godliness is a means of financial gain.”

It continues to say:

 “Separate yourselves from such people.” 1 Timothy 6:3-5

They are men who rarely call themselves priests, except when stating their adjustment in the doctrine that they are the faithful slave who “would be the ones teaching truth to their brothers”. (Wt 13 7/15 p.21-22, par.8) 

"Earth Swallows Satan's River" (link)

I am sure these leaders know that through their anointing, the members of Christ’s body are given many gifts. (1 Corinthians 12 chapter 4;Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 4:4-16)

And I’m sure they also know that the anointed are to use them under the obligation to teach and speak God’s decrees in Christ. (Malachi 2:17; Luke11:28; James 1:22; 1 Timothy 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 3:17)

They have the obligation to produce “good fruit”, teachings filled with Holy Spirit from Jesus. (John 15:1-2,4-8,16-17) But since these leaders have presumptuously applied these divine “gifts in men” to their elder body/counterfeit priests, it gives them full opportunity to keep the anointed quiet and prevented from speaking truth from Jesus Christ. (1Corinthians11:29,31; Galatians 6:4;James 3:1; Matthew12:36; John 7:18)

However, the apostle John told the anointed of his day:

“As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.” 1 John 2:27

The governing leaders have completely forfeited any possible role for themselves within the body, since it requires serving the Father and the Son in complete truth. (Jeremiah 5:26-31; Isaiah 28:9-10,7-8,14-19; John 14:6)

As an “evil slave”, an evil house steward, it appears they have traded up for a higher position; one that belongs to Jesus Christ. (Luke16:1-2,13)  By doing so, all anointed and JW's become their servants. They have appointed their own priests who serve their needs and who dish out their teachings that consistently fail. (Luke 6:43-45) Their “Gentile” army is given the power to keep the “faithful slave’s” brothers and sisters silenced and obedient to them, above the Father and Jesus Christ.  (Deuteronomy 31:16; 28:43-45; Mark 13:14; 2Thessalonians 2:1-4,7-10; Revelation 13:1-2,5-7; 9:1-4; Joel 2:1-4,7-9)

They have placed themselves on a glittering, eye-appealing pedestal as leaders who delight only in the benefit of power and riches of directing an organization, and the massive company of JWs willing do their bidding.

The anointed are not immune to falling from the grace of God. (2 Peter 3:17; Hebrews 12:15-17; Revelation 8:10-11) In the last days, as Satan’s kingdom reaches its demise, there are false prophets/teachers, despising the authority of Jesus Christ, disconnecting from him, rebelling against his words to store up their treasures in heaven and not on earth. (Matthew 6:20; Philippians 3:19) 

They rise up over their anointed brothers and sisters, misleading them to worship what they have built; “exploiting them with fabricated stories -  seducing the unstable -  experts at greed – an accursed brood”. (2 Peter 2:1-3,14; Matthew 12:33-34). (Deuteronomy8:19; 11:16-21; Exodus 20:23; Matthew 24:24-25; Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:4,15-17;16:13-16;18:4-8)

Yet, just as Satan serves his own selfish desires, so too his messengers, who masquerade as “ministers of righteousness”.  (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)

Pearl Doxsey, from “Who Really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?” (link)

Therefore, if you are an anointed one, make certain that the light you have burning in your lamp, is not from men's doctrines (Matt.15:9; Mark 7:7), or from yourself (John 7:18; Matt.6:23). Make certain you have remained in union with the one who anointed you (1John 2:26,27,28;  1Cor. 6:17; John 15:4) and his body (Eph.4:11,12,13;  1Cor. 12:27,21,25; 11:29). If you do these things, he will continue to teach you all things, and bring you into all the truth
(John 16:7,12,13,14; Rev.1:1; 22:6).

Those faithful witnesses....the "faithful and discreet slaves", will
conquer Satan's lies and tests (Rev.2:10; Matt.24:24,25),
witness to the Truth (Rev.6:9; 12:17),
do not have their thinking marked by idolatrous doctrines that demand the worship of men (Rev.20:4; 13:16,15,8),
imitate Christ in surrendering their souls in behalf of the sheep (Matt.10:39; John 21:15; 15:13,14,15,16).

Rev.12:11 and Rev.20:4 read:
 "And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death."

"Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, ² then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. ³ Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, ⁴ not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

⁵ In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

⁶ Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
⁸ And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

⁹ Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹ and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father."  Philippians 2:1-11
