Is This Pure Worship?

 

My friend who lives in Brazil, sent me the following links of a dance performed at a Jehovah’s Witness convention in Panama. 

JWs Convention Dance 1

JWs Convention Dance 2

My friend said she didn’t know what the name of the dance is called in Panama, but in Brazil it is Candomblé or Umbanda, saying  “a dance dedicated to the devil”.  She said, “This language isn't Brazilian, but it's strange; they keep repeating things from the dance, Candomblé”.

If you want to know the demonic origin of both dances, you can check out Wikipedia for their descriptions. 

“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8

“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.”  1 Timothy 4:1

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but **test the spirits** to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”  1 John 4:1

"Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. ²⁴ 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.” (the chosen anointed) Matthew 24:23-24

The anointed leaders of the Watchtower claim that Jesus Christ is head over their organization, and these wicked leaders require their sheep to lead people to the organization by basically proclaiming,  “Look, here is the Christ!”  (John 2:19-21; Matthew 16:18; Acts 17:24; 7:48-50; 2 Samuel 7:12-13; 1 Peter 2:4-9; Romans 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:6,11-13; 2:20-22; Galatians 1:6-9; Exodus 23:1)

And yet, these false prophets demand obedience from all JWs and constant attention to their words, their changing doctrines, over those of Jesus Christ. The result is failure to serve spiritual food and drink “at the proper time”.  (Matt 24:48-51; Matthew 7:15-20; Luke 6:45)  

Who is the Faithful Slave?

"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."  John 15:4-5

The Governing Body of their idol, “Jehovah’s organization”, approved of these dances at the convention that they made sure was organized to their liking. These dances are still practiced today, to connect people with demonic spirits. (Exodus 20:3; 23:13; Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:1-2,4,11-12,15)

So, are Jehovah’s Witnesses living “in the truth” and offering "pure worship" to God?  Or, are they living a LIE? (1 John 2:4; John 8:44; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; Revelation 16:13-16; 19:20)

Pearl Doxsey –

Satan knows what unlearned people are naturally looking for when they seek religious authenticity. 

The unlearned are influenced by logical assertions, a tokenism and perfunctory use of scripture, the physical appearance of followers and their glow of conviction and respectability, the physical appearance of their places of meeting, the material and financial assets of the organization, the number of followers, their reach in proselytizing, false affirmation of divine approval through material gain, and every other power, prominence, and authority that is granted by this world's true ruler 

( 1John 5:19; Luke 4:5,6;  2Cor.11:3,4,14,15,13; Mark 10:42,43,44). 

Due to the powerful demonic deception we have all as Jehovah's Witnesses been subjected to; there is so much which has to be unlearned. Jesus said that we need a new wine skin to hold new wine (Luke 5:37,38,39). We need a new mind, to hold a new faith... a faith of genuine truth from the vine of Christ (John 15:5,16)... as we transform our perception according to scripture, rather than the previous cup of the harlot's libations which made us reel, stumble, and sleep.    The Lie

You are what you eat. What kind of fruit will you choose?

The Flying Scroll

(Luke 8:11; James 1:17; John 15:16; Proverbs 11:30)

Colossians 2:8, Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3, But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 

1 Timothy 4:1, Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

1 Corinthians 10:21, You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.

 Psalm 34:13, Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. 

Matt.24:24,11, For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  

Acts 3:17, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

 John 6:63, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” 

James 1:21, Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 

John 14:6, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 15:5, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”

John 15:8, "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”

Proverbs 11:30, The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.

Proverbs 4:19, The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.

Ephesians 4:18, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 

Ephesians 5:11, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 

1 Timothy 4:16. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. 

Jesus warned us in the last days, false prophets would arise and deceive many, if possible, even the elect/anointed (Matt.24:3,11,24). True prophets are anointed servants of God, sent by Him, understanding the Word by Holy Spirit and speaking through the Holy Spirit giving warning and instruction (2 Kings 21:10; Jer.7:25; Ezek.2:1-5; Acts 28:25; 1 Cor.12:12,19-20,27-28; 1 Cor.3:23; 1 John 2:20-21,27; 1 Cor.3:16; 1 Pet.2:5,9; Mal.2:7). These are good trees and symbolized as olive trees:

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2016/02/two-witnesses-lampstands.html

False prophets are anointed but not olive trees nor any good tree…they are bad trees, teachers who claim to speak for God/prophesy, claiming to teach truth, but having apostatized/fallen away, speak deceit of their own heart (1 Sam.15:23; Ezek.13:2,6; Jer.14:14; 23:11,21,26,31; Matt.24:1-5,23,11-12,24; 21:43; 7:15-20; 2 Pet.2:1-2; 2 Thess.2:1-4; Rev.16:13).   

Unlike Jesus, we cannot read hearts (John 2:24-25; 1 Sam.16:7). But, Jesus gave a key to recognizing a false prophet stating, “by their fruits you will recognize them” (Matt.7:15-20).  Testing a tree’s fruit/teachings using scripture will bring to light those who have the word of God firmly implanted in their heart/soil and are approved by God, and those who are disobedient and disqualified for every good work (James 1:21; 2 Tim.2:15; 1 John 4:1; Acts 20:30; Titus 1:16; 1 Thess.5:21; 1 Cor.11:19).  You will recognize the bad trees, the messengers of Satan whose hearts are filled with a demonic spirit that speaks lies…and you will recognize the good trees that produce good fruit, true teachings that proceed out of the mouth of a true heart filled with Holy Spirit because they remain in Jesus (John 15:5,4,6-8; Prov.18:20-21; 12:28; Luke 6:45; 2 Tim.3:13; 1 Tim.4:1-2; Jer.17:9; Matt.7:15; 15:8; 7:16-19; Jer.23:29; Prov.12:17; Matt.7:20; Matt.24:24; 2 Cor.11:14-15; Matt.24:11; John 8:44; 1 John 4:1; Matt.7:21-23; Psalm 51:6; Heb.10:22; John 15:1-8; Rev.21:2-4,22-27; 22:1-2).

Good trees and bad trees are the only two options for picking fruit/teachings to ingest, so take heed, the fruit you choose to fill your own heart with has the power of life and death (Matt.7:15-20; Prov.18:20-21; Deut.30:15; Matt.12:36-37). 

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/08/two-trees.html :  

All those who represent a teaching authority and power have been represented throughout the entire Bible, as trees. (Luke 6:43-45; Matt.12:33,34; 7:17,20; Rev.2:7; 3:20; 22:2; Eze.36:30; 47:12; 17:22-24; Psalm 1:3; 92:12; Jer.17:8; Isa.61:3; 65:22; Zech.4:3,14).
The original Tree of Life (Gen.3:22; John 6:57-58,63; Prov.12:14; Rev.2:7; 22:14; John 14:21; Prov.8:17), as well as it's "apprentice" Trees of Life (Matt.10:25; John 13:13;  1Pet. 2:21), are both referred to in the symbolic book of Revelation (Rev.2:7; 22:2,19; Eze.47:12; Ps.1:3; Matt.7:20; Luke 6:43-45).  The anointed who receive the kingdom, and channel God's life-giving waters and light through their "fruit" and "leaves", are also called trees of life, just as the original Tree of Life was called. (see scriptures above).
OR, we learn from and obey God's wayward son, Satan...and his representatives (John 8:44; Rev.13:11; Dan.11:27; Rev.16:13,14;  1Tim. 4:1; Rev.22:15; Deut.32:32,33; Matt.24:4,5,24,25; 7:15;  2Cor. 11:13,14,15; Rev.13:7,10; Col.2:8).
Whichever "tree" we "eat" from, whichever "fruit" we take into us, there are just and fair consequences as a result (Gal.6:7-9). The fruit we bring into our heart, contains seed within it. That seed will come to fill our heart, and make manifest whose son we have chosen to become. Out of our hearts abundance, our own mouth will speak. We will propagate that which we have sown and cultivated within us (Luke 6:45,44; Matt.7:20).

The "Spirit-directed Image

The "Spirit-directed" Image

 

From the Watchtower magazine,1990 11/1 p. 26, is the following quote:

"As Christians, we face up to similar challenges today. We cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry—be it worshipful gestures toward an image or symbol or the imputing of salvation to a person or an organization." 

So, what are we to believe?  Is not the Watchtower a modern-day physical organization?  Of course!  However, Mr. Luccioni is explicit in saying that salvation cannot be found anywhere else except through “Jehovah’s organization”. (Exodus 15:2;20:4; Deuteronomy 4:23; 5:9; Psalm 115:4; John14:6; Luke 19:10; Galatians 5:1;1:10)

In the time of the end, Jesus warned us that false prophets would arise and lead the anointed astray through their lies, which false prophets are known for.  (Matthew 24:24-25; 7:15-16; Luke6:43-45; Acts 20: 28-31; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Colossians 2:8; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; Romans 1:25;Revelation 13:10-14; John 8:44)

A liar twists the truth, creating confusion in the minds of those who listen to them.  Satan accomplished this perfectly with Eve.  (Genesis3:1-5; Proverbs 14:5; Isaiah 41:29; 1 Cor 14:33) 

The legacy of lying leaders of the organization has created an invincible image of salvation in the minds of Jehovah’s Witnesses; one that cannot be disputed or rejected, since it is said to possess the Spirit of God; the “spirit directed organization”. (Revelation13:1-2;Revelation 17:3,9; 13:15-17; 16:13-16) This teaching has empowered the image to be a threat against all who question the authority of its  representatives, the "Gentile" elder body, not anointed. (Matthew 24:48-51; Revelation 8:10-11; 9:1-4,13:18; 2 Thessalonians2:3-4,7-10; Revelation 13:7;11:1-3)

All that a JW cherishes could be lost if there is any doubt over teachings, and the constant changing organizational policies and failed prophecies. Life as one had once experienced, ends abruptly. This threat and fear of being cut off from salvation, holds JWs captive to the organization’s “empty philosophy” and “made up stories”. (Colossians 2:8; Luke 21:24; Revelation 13:10,15)  

As Mr. Luccioni makes the deceptive claim, there is nowhere else to go…without suffering the consequences.  (John14:1-6,23; 6:68-69; Mark 8:34-38; John 16:2-3; 15:20; Revelation 13:1-2,4,11-12,15; 6:9-11;12:10-11)

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”  Ephesians 5:6

“There were indeed false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves. ² Many will follow their depraved ways, and the way of truth will be maligned because of them. ³ They will exploit you in their greed with made-up stories. Their condemnation, pronounced long ago, is not idle, and their destruction does not sleep.”  2 Peter 2:1-3

The apostle Peter continues:

“WE have not depended on made-up stories in making known to you the mighty coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. With our own eyes we saw his greatness. ¹⁷ We were there when he was given honor and glory by God the Father, when the voice came to him from the Supreme Glory, saying, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased!” 

So we are even more confident of the message proclaimed by the prophets. YOU will do well to pay attention to it, because it is like a lamp shining in a dark place until the Day dawns and the light of the morning star shines in your hearts.” 2 Peter 1:16-17,19

The apostles led people to God and His Son by proclaiming the word of God in Christ. (Matthew28:19-20; Ephesians 3:8; Romans 1:9; Hebrews 13:15) There is no account in the scriptures where the apostles and early believers felt the need to create a man-made entity to be praised and worshipped, to be served, to provide monetary support for it…to affix the label of salvation upon it.  (John 2:19-21; Matthew 16:18; 1 Peter 2:5,9; Ephesians 2:20-22; John 4:10,13-14,19-24; Acts 7:48-51; Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:8)

^“ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— ⁷ which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! ⁹ As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!  Galatians 1:6-9

The Greek word for “image” is eikone, and it is where we get the word, “icon” from, meaning a likeness, a representation, profile, resemblance. The Watchtower calls an icon a symbol of one’s religious faith.

 From their own mouth:

“Regardless of how imposing an icon may be, it can never match the glory of God.  Would a person be ‘worshiping in truth’ if he approached God through some man-made icon?”  w02/7/1 pp. 5-8

The confusion continues.  An icon created by men requires man-made stories by false prophets to sell it, and who exploit their listeners to support it. (2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Corinthians 11:20; Philippians3:17-19) 

Without the organization, what do JWs have as the foundation of their faith? (Matthew 7:26-27;13:19-23,13-15; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5,13-14) It is the organization itself, a man-made icon; an imposing image that stands within their hearts and minds as the symbol of their religious faith. (John 4:24; 6:63; Acts 17:24-27;Revelation 13:4,8; 14:7;19:20)

“Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all? Ezekiel 14:3

“Beware of your friends;
    do not trust anyone in your clan.
For every one of them is a deceiver,
    and every friend a slanderer.
⁵ Friend deceives friend,
    and no one speaks the truth.
They have taught their tongues to lie;
    they weary themselves with sinning.”  Jeremiah 9:4-5

Pearl Doxsey - Who is the False Prophet who gives breath to the image of the Beast ?

Rev.13:15 reads;

"He (false prophet -Rev.13:11; 19:20) was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed." (power to judge/condemn to death)

Do we see any "Beast"... any identity or group, being imbued with an image of such authority, by a false prophet?
At John 20:21-23, we saw that Jesus gave spiritual authority and power, to his anointed chosen priests (Luke 10:19; Mal.2:7; Rev.1:5-6; 5:9-10;  1Pet. 2:5). But who is it that actually appears to be authorized to exercise the authority and power of God's priesthood, today...even over the anointed chosen? 

What image today, seems "spirit-directed" and as a result, the tangible representatives and enforcers of worship toward that image, can pass the judgment of spiritual life or death/forgive or not forgive sin...
(over those who refuse to accept that image as being spirit-directed), 
...even over the chosen ones? (2Thess. 2:4; Mark 13:14; John 16:2)
(Rom.2:28-29; Rev.2:9)

At Rev.13:7, we are also told, that this alliance between the false prophet and it's Beast, "conquers the holy ones". (Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Dan.8:12; Rev.11:2; Matt.5:13).
("Trample" - How Does it Happen?)

Are you awake to recognizing the fulfillment of this prophecy?
It is in plain sight, among "Jehovah's Witnesses".

Who comprehends the mind of the Lord,
or gives Him instruction as His counselor?
¹⁴ From whom does He receive directions?
Who teaches Him the correct way to do things,
or imparts knowledge to Him,
or instructs Him in skillful design?

To whom can you compare God?
To what image can you liken Him?
¹⁹ A craftsman casts an idol;
a metalsmith overlays it with gold
and forges silver chains for it.
²⁰ To make a contribution one selects wood that will not rot;
he then seeks a skilled craftsman
to make an idol that will not fall over.
²¹ Do you not know?
Do you not hear?
Has it not been told to you since the very beginning?
Have you not understood from the time the earth’s foundations were made?
²² He is the one who sits on the earth’s horizon;
its inhabitants are like grasshoppers before Him.
He is the one who stretches out the sky like a thin curtain,
and spreads it out like a pitched tent.
²³ He is the one who reduces rulers to nothing;
he makes the earth’s leaders insignificant.
²⁴ Indeed, they are barely planted;
yes, they are barely sown;
yes, they barely take root in the earth,
and then He blows on them, causing them to dry up,
and the wind carries them away like straw.
²⁵ “To whom can you compare Me? Whom do I resemble?”
says the Holy One.
²⁶ Look up at the sky!
Who created all these heavenly lights?
He is the one who leads out their ranks;
He calls them all by name.
Because of His absolute power and awesome strength,
not one of them is missing.

A voice cries out,
“In the wilderness clear a way for the Lord;
build a level road through the rift valley for our God.
⁴ Every valley must be elevated,
and every mountain and hill leveled.
The rough terrain will become a level plain,
the rugged landscape a wide valley.
⁵ The splendor of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it at the same time.
For the Lord has decreed it.”  Isaiah 40: 13-14,18-26,3-5

No Apology Needed...Really?

 

“Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 6:15

The following is contributed by Rachel Roman -

https://inthenightaflyingscroll.blogspot.com/2026/07/no-apology-needed.html?

At the 2023 WT annual meeting, Jeffrey Winder, a member and representative of the governing body, said that no apology is needed when their doctrine they had taught previously is not “exactly right.”  Doctrine that is not “exactly right,” is lies.  

The gb claim to be the voice of Jesus, to have/teach/be “the truth.”  Is instructing in falsehood evidence of the Holy Spirit abiding in anointed (John 6:63; 1 John 2:27)?  No, it is evidence of rebellion and the father they have chosen (Ezek.2:3; John 8:44; 2 Pet.2:1-2).  

They foolishly think God will not require an account.

Psalm 10:13, “Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, "You will not require an account." 

Psalm 5:4, “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.” 

Hebrews 4:13, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” 

Jeremiah 17:10, “I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” 

Matthew 7:15, 17, 20, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. "Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” 

Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” 

Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” 

1 Peter 3:10, “For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.”

 Matt.12:37, “For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned.” 

Psalm 33:4, “For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.” 

Proverbs 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.” 

1 John 4:1, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 

https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com:  “We are told that the true prophets would be producing much "fruit" and prove themselves Jesus' disciples...both of which would glorify the Father (John 15:8). 

We are also told that fine fruit... "lasts" (John 15:16). Do you perceive the difference between living fruit that lasts... and "rotten fruit" that does not last?... It rots, until it is unfit to eat, *and must be replaced with new fruit*. The teachings we have eaten... do they need to be changed after time? Or, do they last... like the teaching of Christ, and never need to be changed (Matt.24:35). If the teachings of an anointed priest, do change... that fruit is not from Christ, and that teacher, is not an ambassador of Christ. What would prove a prophet to be a disciple of Jesus?  Such a one would be imitating Jesus in bearing the correct fruit.... the truth that never changes...”

 

"Why then have these people turned away?
    Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;
    they refuse to return.
⁶ I have listened attentively,
    but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent of their wickedness,
    saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course
    like a horse charging into battle.

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
    for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
    has handled it falsely?
⁹ The wise will be put to shame;
    they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
    what kind of wisdom do they have?"  Jeremiah 8:5-6,8-9

 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”  James 3:17

The Den of Iniquity

 

“Have the gates of death been revealed to you?  Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?”  Job 38:17

We are all familiar with the organization's blue and white logo advertising their website.  My son asked one day, “You know how sometimes nothing is as it seems?”  He had passed one of the Watchtower signs with their logo posted on the local kingdom hall. In advertising, it is said that the color blue promotes deep trust and calmness.  White signifies the idea of cleanliness, so both colors are used frequently by corporations in advertising.   Also, these two colors which relate to the early priesthood and their covenant with God, adorn the flag of the nation of Israel, which is also called the Flag of Zion.  I can see the Watchtower organization adopting the colors for both reasons, since they tout that this worldly, wealthy, corrupt “mountainlike organization” is God’s “earthly Zion”.  (Job14:4; Luke 4:5-7; Hosea 10:8; Jeremiah 51:25-26; Zech 4:7,6; John 4:21,24;17:24-25; Acts 7:48-51; 17:24-25;29-31;Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:4)

God’s spiritual Temple is Jerusalem above, Mount Zion. It is heavenly, with God's Spirit dwelling in the hearts of His faithful anointed. (Isaiah 66:1-2; Luke 17:20-21; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Hebrews 12:22; Revelation14:1; 21:1-4)

It is built on the body of Christ, the chief cornerstone, along with tested, refined, sealed anointed “living stones”. (John 2:19-21; Matthew 16:18;1 Corinthians 12:27;Romans 8:10; Isaiah 43:10-11; 1 Peter 2:4-5,9-10; 1 Corinthians 3:16,17;6:19-10; Hebrews 12:22; Ephesians 2:20-22,10; Revelation 5:9-10; 21:2-3)   

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established

    as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.

³ Many peoples will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Isaiah 2:1-3

There is no mention in the scriptures of a literal, earthly organization to arise in the last days approved by God and built by men, of having any divine part in God’s heavenly Zion. In fact, Jesus warns us not to look for a centralized location to worship God.

“Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, ²¹ nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21

“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. ²⁰ Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

 ²¹ “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. “ ²³ 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.” John 4:19-21,23-24

"Many plans are in a man's heart, but the purpose of the Lord will prevail." Proverbs 19:21

YHVH’s Genuine Mountain

My son implied that behind the innocent looking logo which invites the world to explore its teachings, “unique to Jehovah’s Witnesses” (Hebrews 13:6-9; Galatians 1:8-9), danger lurks in its dark labyrinth of lies and confusion, of hidden child abuse, slavery to men, fleshly desires, and demanded obedience to the “Beast”/idol/organization. (Proverbs 6:16-19;2 Corinthians 11:4,20,13-15; Galatians 1:10;Isaiah 41:17; Amos 8:11-12; Isaiah 41:21-24,28-29; Exodus 20:4-5; 1 Corinthians10:6-8; Romans 16:17-28; Revelation 13:1-2,4-7,15-16) 

The logo also represents the diabolical work of spiritual “harlots”, false prophets under the direction of the father of the lie. (John 8:44; Matthew 24:24-25; Revelation 13:11-12; Isaiah 1:21; Psalm 106:35-39) 

There are many scriptures telling us that false prophets would arise and to beware of their presence who “mislead the elect”, the anointed of God. (Matthew 7:15; 24:4-5,24-25; Acts 20:28-31; Peter 2:1-3,10-22; 1 John 4:1; 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 2:15-19)  

And what organization but the Watchtower has claimed that it is the home of all anointed, the "saints", during the time of the end? (Jeremiah 25:11; Daniel 7:19,21,25; 11:31; 7:22;  Luke 21:24; Colossians 2:8; Revelation 13:1-2,7,10; 16:13-16; 20:7-9)

The anointed leaders from among the present Governing Body have “played the harlot”, breaking their covenant with the God of truth and with Jesus Christ, who is truth under the mother covenant of life. (Galatians 4:24,26,28; Judges2:17; Jeremiah 3:6; Ezekiel 16:15-16; 2 Corinthians 11:2-3; 6:14-18; Hebrews 8:10;10:22,26-29) 

They have entered a new covenant, the mother covenant of death – Babylon the Great - a promise that focuses on riches, power, dominance, greed, all fleshly desires of this world under the power of the evil one. (1 John 5:19; Luke4:5-8; John 8:41,44; Isa 28:14-15; Revelation 17:5-6,15)

The result? A very wealthy religious organization, where exalted men in power dress well, have all their needs met, and are given protection from the outside world. They have surrounded themselves with lawyers and committees to do their bidding. They have instilled their dark delusions and false, continually failing promises into the hearts of JWs, promoting devotion and dedication to the organization they have created. (John 15:1-8,16; Luke 6:43-45; Phillipians 3:17-19; James 3:15; 5:1-6; Revelation 13:4,11-12,8; 18:4-8)

Within the article of the Awake Magazine pictured above, Proverbs 24:3 is quoted: “By wisdom a house is built up, and by discernment it is made secure.” Was it the wisdom of Jesus Christ that built the “house” which the logo represents? The Governing Body blames its failures in doctrine on Jesus, who is wisdom in all perfection; the Logos, the Word of God, the light of the world. (Proverbs 4:20-27; John 1:1,14; Psalm 18:30; Colossians1:15;1 Peter 2:22; John 1:4; 1 John 1:5-6)

Notice what he says:

“Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! ⁴⁶ Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? ⁴⁷ Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:45-47

“The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.” John 14:24

“For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.” Matthew 13:15

Their flimsy house is built on the wisdom of deceitful men; of harlots, and not on the wisdom coming from above, from God and His Son, that does not change like the shifting doctrines of darkness.  This den of iniquity has never contained the light of Christ. (Job 18:5; Proverbs 6:20-26; 23:27-28; 7:24-27; Psalm 101:7; James 1:5;3:13-15,17;1:26; Matthew 7:7-8; 1 John 1:5; Matthew 7:15-20,24-27; Eph 4:29; James 3:1) 

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will confound.” (1 Corinthians 1:19)

And don’t we see that happening in the organization?  Always, “adjustments” are made; old teachings are dropped and replaced. And years later, they are made new again.  (Isaiah 28:9-10,7-8; 19:14; Isaiah 29:9-14)

I told my son that the logo represents the home of the “man of lawlessness”, the Governing Body’s league of "Gentile" backers. The elder body has seized the role of God’s anointed priests, who represent the spiritual temple of God. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19-20; Jeremiah 32:24; Hosea 8:7-10; Daniel 11:15; Luke 21:20) (Evidence: See Wt. 02/8/1 pg. 13, par.18,20)

This trampling down of His people initiates the Great Tribulation to come upon the scattered anointed within the organization.  (Numbers 18:5-7; Ezekiel 44:6-9; Daniel 11:36-37; 8:11,24; Matthew 24:15-16; Mark 13:14; 2 Thessalonians2:1-4; Luke 19:43-44; 21:20,24; Colossians 2:8; Revelation 9:1-4;13:1-2,7-10;Daniel 8:10-11; Joel 2:2; Revelation 13:18)

It is a "time of distress", of decision making, between truth in Christ and the deceitful lies of men. (Daniel 12:1; Joel3:12-16; Daniel 12:2-4; Matthew 24:21; Revelation 18:4-8; Jeremiah 51:6-7,11,25-26)

The Greatest Tribulation – What and Why? 

The elders submissively teach the harlot’s “wormwood” – her bitter lies. They administer false “comfort” to those who seek it, and judge by the procedures of an organization. (Deuteronomy 29:18-21; Hebrews 12:14-17;Revelation 8:10-11; 9:1-5,7-9; 13:1-2, 5-7; Jeremiah 23:1-2; Ezekiel 34:7-10,21-24)

“They saw false visions and their divinations were a lie. They claimed, “This is the Lord’s declaration,” when the Lord did not send them, yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message. ⁷ Didn’t you see a false vision and speak a lying divination when you proclaimed, “This is the Lord’s declaration,” even though I had not spoken?”              Ezekiel 13:6-7

On the other hand, God’s faithful holy priesthood is assigned as ministers in God's truth under their head, Jesus Christ. It is they who are to carry out his direction already written in God’s word, as it was the case in the first century when the apostles and anointed gathered under one Spirit, in one body with Jesus Christ as their Head. (Matthew28:19-20; 1 Cor 6:2; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Romans 15:15-16; Malachi 2:7; 1Corinthians 6:2; Ephesians 4:4-16; Romans 12:1-16; 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6)

But today, God's royal priesthood is told not to bond, not to gather under their Head, Jesus Christ. They are told that it is unwise to study the Bible together; which in essence, protects the power of the alliance. Unity “at all costs” is paramount to the life of the idol and its leaders. Any threats against it must be extinguished. (Jeremiah 2:5,8,19, 24-25)

By the decree of the Governing Body, this Gentile “disgusting thing standing in the holy place” (Matthew 24:15-16; Micah 2:1-2) represents and gives a voice to the image of their “spirit-directed” idol, the Beast of Revelation 13:1-2.  (Zechariah 10:2; Revelation 13:15-16)

On behalf of “Jehovah’s organization”, they disfellowship/remove God’s authentic priests who declare Watchtower’s sins, giving their testimony of Jesus Christ.  (John 16:2-3; Heb 13:13; Isaiah30:18; 66:5; Revelation 6:9-11; Revelation 19:1-3; Malachi 3:1-5,16-18) (John14:6; 13:20; Malachi 2:7; Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 4:2; Ephesians 4:15;2 Timothy 2:19)

The alliance of the harlots and Gentiles, the dominant two powers over God’s priesthood and all JWs, have adulterated the Word of God. 

“Woe to the obstinate children,” declares the Lord,“to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin.”  Isaiah 29:1

Whenever an alliance occurred among the nation of Israel, they fell away from following God’s laws, adopting the idols of the nation they joined with. (Exodus 34:12-15; 1 Kings 11:1-3; Nehemiah 9:29; Psalm 83:1-8) 

The Governing Body harlots have exposed their lust for their spirit-directed idol, and their Gentile army who carries out the harlot’s bidding. (Deuteronomy 4:15-18; 8:19-20; 2 Kings 17:15; Ezekiel 23:1-7; Matthew24:48-51; Job 4:8; Revelation 13:11-12)

After some discussion, my son spoke of his time visiting a very small town in the state of Nevada, servicing computers as his job required.  He wasn’t aware of what the “red light district” meant until his workmate pointed out the actual red light positioned above the door of various saloons and buildings in the town. The light signifies an open invitation to visit a prostitute, and he made this connection to the organization’s logo as an open invitation to avail oneself to the harlot’s wares –  her riches, the “words” of her god, her false promises of salvation, and of gaining privileges above all who are gathered into this demonic snare. (Ezekiel 16:28-32) I realized that the scriptures lingering in the back of my mind during our conversation, describes in blunt terms the spiritual, immoral relationship of the Governing Body fallen from the grace of God, with the alliance she has made with her “mountainlike organization” of “Gentiles”, that she loves. (Job 18:5-6; 2 Peter3:17; Revelation 8:10-11; Revelation 9:1-4).

“On a lofty and high mountain You have set your bed; 

Even there you went up To offer sacrifice.

 Also behind the doors and their doorposts

You have set up your remembrance;  (Isaiah 58:7-8)

God tells us what this “remembrance” should be 

Deuteronomy 11:18-21:

"Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹ You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ²⁰ And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth."

The Hebrew word for “sign” means, “a signal, a distinguishing mark, a banner, a token”. The Hebrew word for “frontlets” means a “dedication” to God’s “commandments”, and a “perpetual remembrance”. (Ezekiel 13:9; Deuteronomy 6:4-9) 

We are to remember that God through His Son Jesus, is our only salvation. (Hebrews 9:28; Romans 10:17)

We are to remember that Jesus is Way, the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6; 1 John 5:11-12)

We are to remember that only by God’s word through His Son, is eternal life possible.  (John6:40,63; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:15-17)

What remembrance has the Governing Body set up in their heart, or behind their doorpost of their “house”, where the world sees only a blue and white logo representing it? What words are actually imprinted in the hearts and minds of Jehovah’s Witnesses, that directs their thoughts, their actions; their entire life in this world? Are they the words of Jesus Christ?  Here is what they say:

“Are you willing to accept Jehovah’s way for salvation? It is in the organization of Jehovah’s witnesses.” w74 7/1 pp. 401-407  

   “The Governing Body provides the spiritual food, direction and practical help for Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world. How do we identify the way to go? Similar to the faithful Israelites.  We follow the ones that Jehovah is using to lead us.  How do we stay on the way?  We need to stay close to Jehovah’s organization. We need to keep up with Jehovah’s organization. Never forget what you have.  Where else will you go for the guidance, spiritual food and comfort that Jehovah provides through his organization.  There is nowhere else to go.  Don’t let the things you do not understand blind you to what you have and what you’re a part of.  No matter what dark days are ahead of us, if you stick close to Jehovah’s organization and follow its direction, you will always know the way to go.”                                Robert Luccioni  -  “Do You Know the Way to Go?”  

    Mr. Luccioni, an elder himself who has usurped the royal priesthood stated, 

“    "When we receive direction even if it seems unnecessary or we have a different opinion, do we trust Jehovah enough to follow it? If you receive clear direction, follow it, if there’s no scriptural law being disregarded.”

A   Among a plethora of laws in Jesus Christ that have been disregarded, we do have clear evidence from God’s word that the practice of idolatry is rife among Jehovah’s Witnesses. (Romans 1:25; Revelation 13:4)  We have clear evidence from God’s word that this man, a counterfeit priest, is “standing where he doesn’t belong”; in the “holy place”, God’s spiritual temple. (Mark 13:14; Matthew 24:24-25; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2Thessalonians 2:1-4; Revelation 11:1-3; 13:7; 20:7-9)

“He (the false prophet/harlot of Revelation 13:11-12) was granted power to give breath (spirit) to the image of the beast, (“Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization”) that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. ¹⁶ He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads”.

“So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:15-16,4

Pearl Doxsey:

The Wild Beast Organization is now being given credit for salvation
(instead of God -Rev. 7:10; Isa. 43:11) (Ex. 13:16; Deut. 6:6,8) (Rev. 13:16,8; Rom. 1:25).
The Gentile Beast has replaced Christ as Head of the Bride Congregation (Eph.5:25; Dan.8:11; 11:31;  2Thess. 2:4)
due to the false prophet's endorsement of that Beast and it's idolatrous image (Rev. 19:20; Rev. 2:20; 8:10,11; 9:1; 13:15)
(2Thess. 2:4; 2Cor. 11:20; Col. 2:19).
("the number of a man" -Rev. 13:18;  2Thess. 2:3,4)

It is the Law of the Beast, whose "image"/"Idol" has been deified by the false prophet, from which the people seek
salvation, knowledge, guidance, and doctrine to teach, rather than from God (Matt. 4:4; John 17:17;  2Tim. 3:16,17)... through his Chosen priests (Mal. 2:7; Rev. 5:10;  2Cor. 5:20; 13:3;  1John 4:1; Matt. 10:20;  1Cor. 4:1).
  This is the meaning of being marked on the forehead and hand, by the lies of the Beast (666) (Rev. 13:16; Rom. 1:25),
rather than by the Truth of God found exclusively in His Word 

(Deut.6:6,8; Rev. 7:3; 14:1; 22:4) (John 17:17; 12:48).

Mark of the Beast

The logo wears a mask just as the Governing Body/harlot daughters of Babylon the Great do. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15;4:1-6)  At its inception, it carried on the legacy of deceit, Satan’s effective trap that for years has brought in millions, and especially all of the anointed remnant in the last days to be tested at Satan’s demand, under a physical and mental captivity. (Luke 22:31; 21:20,24; Colossians 2:8; 1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 13:10)

Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, And their works are in the dark; They say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us? Isaiah 29:15

“For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me, (exposing the lusts of her heart, instead of her full heartfelt dedication to God)

And have gone up to them; (made an alliance with the Gentiles)

You have enlarged your bed

And made a covenant with them; (Babylon the Great, the mother covenant of death)

You have loved their bed,

Where you saw their nudity.

“And of whom have you been afraid, or feared,

That you have lied

And not remembered Me,

Nor taken it to your heart?

Is it not because I have held My peace from of old

That you do not fear Me?

¹² I will declare your righteousness

And your works,

For they will not profit you.

¹³ When you cry out,

Let your collection of idols deliver you.

But the wind will carry them all away,

A breath will take them.

But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, And shall inherit My holy mountain.”              Isaiah 57:11-13

 

“I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet (harlot), three unclean spirits, something like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.”  Revelation 16:13-14

 So, he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast (Revelation 13:1-2) which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And on her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,  
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.  Rev 17:3-5

“For all the nations have drunk
the wine of her sexual immorality,
which brings wrath.
The kings of the earth (the anointed “kings/priests”, Rev. 1:5 – not those of the word’s nations)
have committed sexual immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth
have grown wealthy from her sensuality and excess.

⁴ Then I heard another voice from heaven:

"Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins
or receive any of her plagues.
⁵ For her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.”  Rev 18:3-5
