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

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

Watchtower's "TRUTH"

 

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

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

How can we reveal the Governing Body’s obscured

“TRUTH”? 

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

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

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

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

           

           

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

Discarded "fruit"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Please consider reading Ezekiel chapter 34

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

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

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

Pearl Doxsey - 

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

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

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

Harlot and Beast

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

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

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

"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth"

Where is the “True Religion” – Christ’s Body – God’s Temple?
