Jehovah, the God of Israel, the "God of Truth," is the Ultimate Source of Divine Truth..."Living Waters" of Truth. (Psalms 31:5; Jeremiah 2:13) In times of National Apostasy, the prophet Jeremiah refers to the disastrous situation facing the nation this way,
"O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all those who are leaving you will be put to shame. Those APOSTATIZING from me will be written down even in the earth, because they have left the SOURCE OF LIVING WATER, JEHOVAH. Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise." -- Jeremiah 17:13, 14
In such difficult times, the prophet Isaiah referred to this blatantly "renegade" nation of God's Name People, Israel, as being an outright "APOSTATE NATION" that had ignored all warnings given to it to repent. (Proverbs 1:30-32; Isaiah 10:6; Matthew 21:43) Yes, in the end, the unrepentant nation of Israel proved to be a people who absolutely refused to comply with God's Will in righteousness.
In fact, we recall the inspired writer Paul said of rebellious, apostate Israel,
"But as respects Israel he says: All day long I have spread out my hands toward a people that is disobedient and talks back." -- Isaiah 65:1-2; Romans 10:21; Matthew 21:43
Therefore, as a final act of judgment from the Holy God of Israel, the prophet Ezekiel spoke the following powerful words of condemnation and punishment, foretold to come from the hands of the brutal pagan leader and King of Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar -- the designated destroyer of Solomon's magnificent Temple. He said:
"And as for you, O son of man, sigh with shaking hips. Even with bitterness you should sigh before their eyes. And it must occur that, in case they say to you, 'On account of what are you sighing?' you must say, AT A REPORT, 'For it will certainly come, and every heart must melt and all hands must drop down and every spirit must become dejected and all knees themselves will drip with water. Look! It will certainly come and be brought to occur,' is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah." -- Ezekiel 21:6, 7
Therefore, in harmony with the powerful judgment messages of the prophets of old, yes, our prophetic message today as shown above, is called THE "REPORT", and is directed to APOSTATE Modern Day "Israel" of our time, Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. Think about it.
Today, our prophetic message has been expressed in book form and has been in existence for well over three (3) decades now. Thus, as a united congregation, the YORWW Congregation, we endorse and sponsor this written 7-volume dissertation, called "THE REPORT" (copyrighted 1994) which explains our views and belief system in greater detail. In the past, Volume I of this publication has been released in soft cover (6X9 size) and placed in various bookstores around the country. For instance, we managed to get a private "book deal" with the Corporate Office in Birmingham, AL of "Books-A-Million" Book-Sellers, Inc to get "corporate permission" to distribute this book to their stores, over some 200 at the time, if the manager of the particular store wanted to purchase it. It would be his/her decision. If so, we would absorb the cost to advertise the book locally, to notify the public, particularly any [Former or Current] Jehovah's Witnesses in the area. Most managers did, but some few, didn't.
Nevertheless, in this way, we were able to reach over 200 Bookstores ([150] "Bookland" Bookstores & [50] "Books-A-Million" Super Bookstores), from 1995-1996, in over 16 states in the USA, from the state of Missouri to Washington D.C. to Miami Beach, Florida [also advertised in various newspapers giving notice of the book's presence in stores]. Then to, all in Tallahassee, Gainesville, Ocala, Lakeland, Daytona Beach, Port St. Richie, Sarasota, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville and Miami, Florida. Then, on to Chattanooga & Memphis, Tennessee, Athens, Georgia, Birmingham, Montgomery & Mobile, Alabama, then to Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, Columbia, South Carolina, several cities in North Carolina & Kentucky. Then on to Virginia, Washington D.C. Then down to Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and elsewhere ... so yes, all throughout the Southeastern USA. Then through a 800 number service, we distributed books up to independent bookstores in Minnesota, Texas, California, Miami, FL and other parts of the USA, along with shipments to Amazon-Dot-Com & Ebay ... for distribution to distant points around the USA. Then too, the book traveled overseas to Ireland, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and finally, Jamaica. W.I. Ohhhhhh yes, this particular book was in circulation back then, and has been in circulation since that time, since the mid-1990s, for over 30 years.
Yes, this book, "The Report" Book Volume I, proved to be the very first publication:
It further asserts, Jehovah's Witnesses as God's "Name People" are destined to suffer a great spiritual fall (because of practiced wickedness on the part of JW Leadership & Rank & File followers) and later after being given Godly Disciplined, for "42 months" [Rev. 11:2; Rev. 13:5-7] and after repenting, would finally be "restored" to even greater favor with Jehovah God, according to bible prophecy. -- See Jeremiah 33:6-9; Micah 4:5-6; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 23:20; Matthew 21:43.
As many are becoming aware, in recent years, since 1991, the same year the YORWW Congregation was born as TWMC ["Two Witnesses Must Come"] Information Center, Jehovah's Witnesses began a course of outright apostasy against God by direct involvement with the UN Organization by voluntarily making an application to become a NGO [Non Governmental Organization] supporter of the United Nations Organization with the Department of Public Information. (Please see letter written by United Nations Department of Public Information about Watchtower Society's Alliance with the United Nations as an NGO for approximately, Ten (10) Years by CLICKING HERE). Because of this heinous, clandestine act and other transgressions on the Watchtower Society's part, God's Word clearly indicates the nation of Jehovah's Witnesses [Apostate "Israel" -- Isaiah 10:6; Matthew 21:43] will be severely disciplined by God Own Hand. Think about it. (See Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 23:19, 20; Micah 4:6-7) Therefore, the purpose of this discussion board originally, LivingWatersForum.com ... was to alert all sincere individuals from their number about the grave and imminent danger facing them as an international people, and to effect possible "repentance" in them before God's Devastating Day of Wrath and Denunciation comes upon them. -- Daniel 7:21; Daniel 8:19; James 5:19, 20; Revelation 13:5-7

Just as Jeremiah’s scroll (Jeremiah 36) was used as evidence against Judah,...................Can you extrapolate on this fact?
Absolutely — and this is one of the strongest prophetic parallels YORWW uses to explain why THE REPORT and the Locust Letter must exist before the Watchtower collapses.
Below is a deep, structured extrapolation based on the verified historical account of Jeremiah’s scroll in Jeremiah 36, supported by the search results you triggered.
Citations appear at the end of each section.
1. Jeremiah’s Scroll Was a Written Legal Record of God’s Case Against Judah -- Ezekiel 23:36, 45Jeremiah 36 shows that God required Jeremiah to write down all the warnings He had spoken over many years. The purpose was explicit:
“Perhaps the house of Judah will hear… and turn from their evil way.”
This written scroll served as:
a. evidence
b. testimony
c. a legal indictment
d. a permanent record against Judah’s leaders and people.
The YORWW Congregation sees "THE REPORT" Book and the 1991 "Locust Letter" functioning the same way.
2. The Scroll Was Publicly Read — So No One Could Claim IgnoranceBaruch read Jeremiah’s scroll publicly in the Temple so that:
the people
the officials
the king
would all hear the warning.
This ensured:
the message was not hidden
the warning was accessible
the nation was accountable
The YORWW Congregation parallels this with the 1995–1996 bookstore distribution of THE REPORT Book, which made the message public, traceable, and undeniable.
3. The Leaders Rejected the Message — and Tried to Destroy the EvidenceWhen King Jehoiakim heard the scroll, he:
cut it with a knife
burned it piece by piece
rejected the warning
EBSCO
This act symbolized:
contempt for God’s message
refusal to repent
hostility toward the prophet
The YORWW Congregation sees the Watchtower Society’s rejection of the 1991 "Locust Letter" and "THE REPORT" Book (Copyrighted October 1994) as a modern replay of Jehoiakim’s reaction.
4. God Ordered the Scroll to Be Rewritten — With Even More Judgment AddedAfter the king burned the scroll, God told Jeremiah:
rewrite the entire scroll
add even more words of judgment
This shows:
God’s message cannot be destroyed
rejecting the warning only increases the judgment
the written record becomes even more important
YORWW Congregation sees this as a prophetic pattern:
When the Watchtower rejected the Locust Letter, the message did not disappear — it expanded into THE REPORT (7 volumes).
5. The Scroll Became Evidence When the Prophecies Came TrueJeremiah’s scroll predicted:
Babylonian invasion
destruction of Jerusalem
end of the kingdom
These events happened exactly as written.
Thus the scroll became:
proof Jeremiah was right
evidence of Judah’s guilt
vindication of the prophet
This is the exact role YORWW Congregation assigns to "THE REPORT" Book and the 1991 "Locust Letter." -- See Ezekiel 23:36; Ezekiel 23:45.
6. The Pattern: Written Warning → Rejection → Judgment → VindicationJeremiah 36 establishes a prophetic sequence:
1. God commands a written warning
2. The warning is publicly distributed
3. Leaders reject and attempt to silence it
4. God preserves the message anyway
5. Judgment falls exactly as written
6. The prophet is vindicated
This is the pattern YORWW Congregation applies to:
the Locust Letter (1991)
THE REPORT (1994)
the future collapse of the Watchtower
the vindication of the Modern Day "Servant" of Isaiah 49:1-9
7. How This Applies Directly to The YORWW Congregation YORWW teaches that:
The Locust Letter = Jeremiah’s first scroll
THE REPORT = the rewritten, expanded scroll
The Watchtower = modern Judah
The Governing Body = Jehoiakim
The future collapse of the Watchtower = destruction of Jerusalem
The Servant of Isaiah 49 = Jeremiah’s modern counterpart
The Global Priesthood = the restored remnant after judgment
Thus, the written publications of YORWW Congregation serve as:
A legal record of the warning
A testimony against the Watchtower
A prophetic document that will be vindicated
Evidence that Jehovah had spoken long before the collapse
8. Final SynthesisJust as Jeremiah’s scroll:
was written
publicly distributed
rejected
preserved
fulfilled
and used as evidence against Judah
so too:
The Locust Letter and THE REPORT Book exist as the written testimony that will stand as evidence against the Watchtower when its collapse fulfills the warnings YORWW Congregation issued decades earlier.
This is why the YORWW Congregation sees the publication and distribution of this extraordinary message as prophetically essential. (Ezekiel 21:6-7)
