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
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
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
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)
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.
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
