"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 1

The “PERSON” I am talking about is JEHOVAH GOD.

The “WHO” that Jehovah is mad at is ALL of JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES (ExJWs and current).

Now you want to know exactly WHY…

Well, first of all, didn’t you ever notice as a JW that you never read the Bible much???

Think about it…you are always reading the Kingdom Ministry or the Watchtower or the Awake, the Yearbook, or the All Scriptures Inspired Book, the Theocratic School Guide Book, or maybe you were preparing for the book study night or examining the ONE scripture a day in the Examining the Scriptures Daily book. You see you are always so busy, busy, busy, reading all of the Watchtower Publications and preparing for meetings that “just reading the Bible” is the last thing on your schedule. But wait, aren’t you suppose to read God’s Word in a undertone morning, noon, and night???

So are you putting the Watchtower Publications ahead of Jehovah’s Word??? By your own actions, this scripture from Ezekiel is being fulfilled;

Ezekiel 43:7-9
7 And He went on to say to me: "Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I shall reside in the midst of the sons of Israel to time indefinite; and no more will they, the house of Israel, defile my holy name, they and their kings, by their fornication and by the carcasses of their kings at their death, 8 by their putting their threshold with my threshold and their doorpost beside my doorpost, with the wall between me and them. And they defiled my holy name by their detestable things that they did, so that I went exterminating them in my anger. 9 Now let them remove their fornication and the carcasses of their kings far from me, and I shall certainly reside in the midst of them to time indefinite.

Did you know that in the 1980’s, the Society disfellowshipped Bethelites for NOT using Watchtower Publications out in service and because some chose to JUST USE THE BIBLE???

Also did you know that in the July 1, 2004 Watchtower Study article, “Go and Make Disciples” the Watchtower Society boasts of printing their own publications in over 400 languages??? But did you know how many languages they print of Jehovah God’s Word the Bible??? Only in 41 different languages. So does that tell you how important making different Bible translations available for reading is to the Watchtower Society compared to their own publications??? Good question, huh?


More to come…

"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 2

In Aug. 15, 1992, the Watchtower Society ran and article entitled, “Preaching in Maputo-Mozambique's Intriguing Capital!” This article was asking for money for building Kingdom Halls. Under the subheading, “Theocratic Advancement Despite Obstacles,” this paragraph appears;

Today, there are more than 50 congregations in and around Maputo city. However, there is not a single Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses to be found. Why is that so? Because of poor economic conditions, the congregations have not been able to build even though some have owned land for a number of years.

And footnote at the bottom of the article saying;
If a man is fortunate enough to find a job here, the average wage is from $20 to $30 per month.

So you are asking, “SO WHAT!” Right?

Lets look at the Stanley Theater that is also owned by the WTS. Just the chandelier in the lobby is worth $1,000,000.00. It is beautiful, no doubt, but what extravagance.

How many Kingdom Halls could the money for the chandelier build???

Lets look at the 684 acre Patterson Project and the Patterson Inn. Ask yourself these questions about it; Why did we need such an expensive project? To the tune of $50,000,000.00 just for materials? What is the real purpose of such project? Why was the Patterson Inn needed?

I am sure some are saying, ‘why, it is an education center.’ For who? There is NO printing faculties on the premises. So it does not print any publications. So how does it help the worldwide preaching work? It is a living facility and office complex for the high officials of the WTS only!

Is the WTS storing up treasures for itself? Well, the Patterson Inn is a profit making business and non taxable.

What about other projects like the $35 million Tower construction at Brooklyn Headquarters?

Or one of the waterfront buildings they own on 360 Furman in New York is for sale…only $120 MILLION!!!

In the last two years the WTS has taken in over 2.3 billion dollars.

Do I even have to mention all of the times we have heard the counsel of being self-sufficient and/or self sacrificing in the magazines or in a talk.

Maybe the Watchtower Society should read the bible…

1 John 3:17-18 *17 But whoever has this world's means for supporting life and beholds his brother having need and yet shuts the door of his tender compassions upon him, in what way does the love of God remain in him? 18 Little children, let us love, neither in word nor with the tongue, but in deed and truth.

I will be back after I get my boots on…

"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 3

Let’s talk Watchtower Society’s DOCTRINE…

In the 1st century, the Jews called it the “oral Law.” It meant rules and regulations that are made up, not in the Bible. The “unspoken rules.” Made up by man not Jehovah God.

Those religious leaders lacked faith. They did not promote love of Jehovah or His Law or His righteous principles. Without that ‘love of Jehovah’ and His ways, you can not develop a hate for what is bad (Psalm 97:10; 119:104-5). Their man-made traditions gave them reason to criticize and judge everyone. And because of their arrogance, they decided that Jesus was not Jehovah’s anointed one. GEE, is this deja vous?

Let's see, there are so many…like if you do not make all five meetings then you are not acceptable association, reporting the number of hours you are out in service every month, no mustaches or when a brother wants to ‘reach out’ he is judged on works and not faith, or maybe he dresses too worldly, or an elder decides you have too many studies and gives your studys away without even asking you, etc… I could go on forever.

They have scattered the sheep, just as prophesized in all of these scriptures, Isaiah 11:12, 34:5; Jer. 23:1-2, 50:17; John 11:52, 16:32-33; John 10:12. All of us that have left or are in the process of leaving or just sitting on a fence not knowing what to do.

And WE are abhorring the same things that Jehovah hates…because WE are being led by His spirit. So please do not feel ANY guilt for hating the same things Jehovah hates. We dedicated ourselves to Jehovah NOT THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY!

There are many scriptures of Jesus delivering his message of judgment to the Jewish religion leaders (Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes) in the first century (Matt. 15:3-11; Mark 7:6-15; Luke 11:39-44). The ones I like the best are in Matthew chapter 23, where Jesus describes them as hypocrites, white-wash gravestones, and blind guides. Jesus was pointing out how they had made worshipping Jehovah a burden to the people and hindered true worship. That the regulations they made up and demanded the people to follow ritually had no scriptural basis. And he warned his disciples about it when he said, “to do what they say but do not do as they do,” in Matthew 23:3. He also warned them to ‘watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees’ in Matt. 16:11-12, Mark 8:15, and Luke 12:1.

Just like in the 1st century, it is that way today. Jesus and his followers BROKE OFF from the traditional Jews. Left their congregations, LIKE many of us have or are thinking about doing!!!

Remember this scripture in Matthew 24:15-16;

15 "Therefore, when YOU catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, (let the reader use discernment,) 16 then let those in Ju·de'a begin fleeing to the mountains.

And the scripture says, “LET THE READER USE DISCERNMENT.” Well, I am discerning that the ‘disgusting thing’ is the United Nations standing in the holy place (the NGO situation) since 1991 to 2001...and secretly I might add. And by doing so the GB has committed spiritual fornication. But has told us that it was for a “library card”…then I heard that for some odd reason the WT “was not sure” of what it meant to follow the charter of the United Nations. But we are suppose to follow the GB unquestionably…like a god. Isn’t that what 2 Thess. 2:4 speaks about by saying, “he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god”??? So does that not make the “man of lawlessness"* as really being the governing body? And they are the modern day Pharisees setting an disgusting example for all of the elders and overseers to blindly follow.

I do not think my boots are high enough and I need a shovel, so I will be back...

"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 4

Now lets talk about the Governing Body, besides leaving a bad taste in your mouth…

If we look back to the 1st century, we see that the early Christians were anointed as a group…at Pentecost. And all of those disciples of Jesus, the night before he died were not anointed when they ‘partook,’ were they? Didn’t the pouring out of Holy Spirit at Pentecost take place some fifty days after Jesus' resurrection? So WHEN has there been a group anointing TODAY??? Did you hear about one? I have not.

That is because the group anointing that is prophesized about in Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 2:16-21, is to happen in the “time of the end.” That means it HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.

That brings us to the 1914 doctrine* or shall we call it the “sliding date rule,” made up by JF Rutherford, some years after 1914…yes, how could such a thing have happened??? The book of Daniel (Daniel 12:9) says that the meaning of it would be locked up till “the time of the end.” Which is NOW. So how could Russell ‘unlock it’ back in the 1800’s and come up with the 1914 teaching? Does that make any sense? Ohhhhhhhh, that’s right Charles Russell was anointed.

And to throw some more fire on the false teaching of 1914...in Matthew 28:18, Jesus said that “all authority has been given him in the heaven and on the earth.” Romans 1:4 says the Jesus was declared God’s son at time of his resurrection. So why would Jesus wait 2,000 years till 1914 to use his power??? Even Jehovah God said at Psalms 2:6-7 that He installed Jesus as king when He declared him His son, in fact it says specifically ON THAT SAME DAY.

They (GB) have set themselves up as gods as 2 Thess. 2:4 brings out, "in the temple of The God [true God]," ... living in the ‘lap of luxury’ at our poor brother’s and sister’s expense.

And then there is the NGO situation. For a library card??? Right…but the new press release of March 4th, 2004 from the United Nations themselves proves the old “library card excuse” to be an outright lie. And according to that new press release, the Society had to support the charter of the United Nations and make a renewal every year. So the WTS knew exactly what they were doing.

Some have even said that it is ‘no big deal’ that the Society was a NGO secretly from 1991 to 2001. I say that maybe true especially if you know that the Catholic Church is a NGO. So are the Lutheran Church, Baptist, and all other churches. Then I ask those ones, ‘what makes JW’s any different from all those other religions in Christendom???

As far as I am concerned the only “spirit” leading the Governing Body is the “SPIRIT OF THE WORLD (1Cor. 2:12)!!!” And their actions confirm it.

In James 4:4 it says “that friendship with the world is enmity with God.” And Jesus in John 15:18-19 that he was no part of the world and that his followers were not to be also. In Proverbs 6:16-19, it speaks about seven things that Jehovah HATES and are detestable to God’s very soul…a false tongue is one of the first things mentioned.

The GB continues to speak out of both sides of their mouths and a few other places not worth mentioning. I think this scripture says it best…

(John 8:43-44) 44"YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]."

IF the GB were truly anointed then this scripture would apply or have they forgot about this one?

(1 John 3:9) "Everyone who has been born from God does not carry on sin, because His [reproductive] seed remains in such one, and he cannot practice sin, because he has been born from God."

Because of that 'reproductive seed', truly "anointed" people, cannot, CANNOT, MISTAKENLY commit "sin" and practice it for over 10 years...simple. Instead, conversely "anointed" people continually are "purifying themselves" as 1 John 3:3 shows.

And then a month or two before the WTS was exposed publicly in 2001 as being a NGO, the GB disassociated themselves from the WTS’s CORPORATIONS. Was that maybe ten years toooooo late? DID that wash them clean of HYPOCRISY….NOT!!!

And most importantly, HOW DO YOU THINK JEHOVAH GOD SEES THIS???

Maybe it’s the shovel, I do not think it is BIG ENOUGH. I will return with a BIGGER ONE, (opps, now I sound like Bush)….

"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 5

There are two ways we can look at this and hopefully one of them will give you, the reader, an idea of WHY Jehovah God would be so mad at Jehovah’s Witnesses as a group.

Lets look at this from Jehovah God‘s view…

These people (JW's) started to 'use' My NAME since 1931. And for the last 70 and some odd years, they have been teaching false doctrine, scattering the sheep (Silent Lambs, protection of pedophiles, disfellowshipping, marking certain ones as APOSTATE only because they asked questions, and generally “NOT treating the flock with tenderness,” the NGO situation---which really if you think about it means the Watchtower Society secretly got into bed with the beast in Revelation for ten years, not to mention the false teaching of 1914 or was it 1925 or 1975 or is it 2034--your guess is as good as mine). Bringing a ton of reproach upon My NAME.

Or we can look at it a bit more personally…

Let me ask you this…how would you feel if a group of people took your Name and your identity. Charge up more things that you have credit for. Totally wrecked your reputation by not only publishing but also teaching lies that never ever come true. Then these people misrepresented your own words and your son‘s words also. Then commited socially unacceptable crimes like child abuse, rape, incest, and have protected pedophiles, all the while using your own name. They also used your name to intimidate the victims of these crimes so as to not report it to the proper authorities or saying anything about it to anyone. Most of these victims are children, mothers, sisters, and young people. And this is just a small part of what this group of people have done in YOUR NAME, to you and to your reputation not to mention your son’s reputation also.

Of course, there are many other groups of people that do the same kinds things in this world like other Christian religions but they are not using YOUR NAME.

Now, suppose you are "God the Almighty"…what would you do to those people who are USING YOUR NAME??? I do not think you would even think twice about the other groups of people doing the same kinds things but not using your name, would you?

Maybe this will give you, the reader, somewhat of an idea of how Jehovah God feels about Jehovah’s Witnesses, the ones who carry HIS NAME. And why He does not feel this way about the Catholics or Lutherans or Baptists or any other religion. But He is really angry at the ones that carry His Own Name. The ones that claim to be acting in His best interest.

But what does this mean for JW’s??? Duh!!! To me this is a no brainier. But to the poor brothers and sisters in the Kingdom Halls who are sincere in their worship to Jehovah and that have no idea of what the Society has done in Jehovah God’s eyes or how ‘community guilt’ makes them dirty in God’s eyes. For them this would mean JUDGEMENT!!!

And they have put their trust in men not God. Because they are told over and over and over “DO NOT TALK TO WORLDLY PEOPLE, DO NOT TALK TO EX-JW’S, DO NOT GO ON THE INTERNET!!!” Why ... because then they--"the rank and file" may actually find out the truth. They are like the ones described by Jesus in this scripture:

(Matthew 15:14) 14 Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

The Society has misled JW’s with lies saying, “not to be part of the world because I am not part of the world.” When in fact they were secretly a NGO with the United Nations for ten years. They also mislead JW’s with false teachings like 1914. I say let God’s Word lead you:

(1 John 3:7-8) 7 Little children, let no one mislead YOU; he who carries on righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous. 8 He who carries on sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from [the] beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil.

But to some JW’s who just go along with this and do not say a word…they really have not learned to hate what Jehovah hates and of course, do not mind a little “leaven of the Pharisees”, well I suspect they will go up in smoke. It seems this prophet is agreeing with me:

(Malachi 4:1)
4 "For, look! the day is coming that is burning like the furnace, and all the presumptuous ones and all those doing wickedness must become as stubble. And the day that is coming will certainly devour them," Jehovah of armies has said, "so that it will not leave to them either root or bough.

If this was not so sad for so many, I would say something smart like... “Get your own sticks and I will bring the marshmallows and hot dogs because the heat from the fire will get pretty hot, huh???”

"HOW MAD IS HE???"

Part 6

Lets Get Real Here…

Note: On other forums I have used this series of rants as I call them to make important points. Granted, many sarcasms are used but I have stated many more facts that I feel should not be over-looked. If serving Jehovah God is the focal point of your life as it is mine then how Jehovah perceives our actions as individuals and as part of a group should be very important. There are no gray areas in serving our God, Jehovah, only right and wrong ways. I have always held the thought that, "if it is truly the TRUTH then it will hold up under scrutiny," even your scrutiny-- the reader or should I say … a fellow servant of Jehovah God‘s. I also provide many scriptures to back up my statements and thoughts, as I am a firm believer as Paul was, in this statement: 16 "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

First of all, I am glad I got a knock on my door back in 1986 and that I was taught bible truths (40 Basic Bible Truths to be exact). And learned about Jehovah God and His purposes for mankind. But upon learning to take in ‘solid food’ in the form (Hebrews 5:14) of spiritual nourishment, I then also learned that what Paul said was true…that ‘they’ teach a "framework of the TRUTH" (Romans 2:20). How so, you may ask?

The WTS teaches all the brothers and sisters to follow Jesus’ example, to model our lives after him and rightly so. Jesus taught us “you must love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 19:19). But if we are to show this love to our neighbor, how do we do this without associating with worldly people (Matt. 5:43-48 )? Have not many JW’s been disfellowshipped or shunned for such?

And to emphasize this point, Jesus told the story of the ‘good Samaritan’ (Luke 10:29-37), with a priest and a Levite ignoring that ‘worldly’ person that had been robbed and half beaten on the side of the road. Another point worth mentioning is Jesus never let those 1st century Pharisees tell him who he could talk to or eat with, did he (Matt. 9:9-13)? Jesus even went so far as to tell those Pharisees that the “tax collectors and harlots” he was associating with would actually get into the Kingdom of God ahead of them (Matt. 21:23,31-32). Jesus has some very interesting points, huh!?!

Today, the WTS and/or GB are our modern day Pharisees with their own ‘oral laws’ as it were that have no basis in the bible (Please see the Watchtower, September 1, 1996, pages 12-13, "The Law Before Christ " under the subheading, "The Pollution of Pharisaism"). But these ‘judgmental rules’ are used to keep us under control. Where does it say in the bible to go to five meetings a week or get at least ten hours of service time a month or not to wear a mustache or not to talk to worldly people? But these are the things considered if we are to be considered ‘good association’ or if a brother is ‘reaching out’ would be a good ministerial servant. Should not “faith or love” and other fruitages of the spirit shown by a person be what should be considered (Gal. 5:22-23)? And isn’t that why Jesus also said in Matt. 23:3-5,

“3 Therefore all the things they tell YOU, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform. 4 They bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger. 5 All the works they do they do to be viewed by men;”

Just as those 1st century Pharisees had done so, now TODAY the “modern day Pharisees” are also doing…for they are **teaching “doctrines of men” (Col. 2:8 ) making the worship of Jehovah a burden on the people. That is why Jesus said this at Matt. 11:28-30;

“Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. 29 Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. 30 For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.”

Also lets consider the teaching of 1914. There is actually no way around it but that teaching is false. It does not matter how many other dates the GB come up with using that teaching because they cannot make that teaching true. Revelation refers to the “false prophet” three times (Rev. 16:13, 19:20, 20:10) and that ‘false prophet’ is in the same league as the Devil so aligning oneself with a false prophet is not a good place to be during these ‘end times,’ do you think? Oh, that is right the GB does not claim to be a ‘prophet’ they claim to be "THE ONLY CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN." So it that just some more smooth talk so that they do not have to be responsible for the false teachings or are they trying to take Jesus’ spot? Another good question! Actually, 2 Thess. 2:3-4 when talking about the “man of lawlessness” that “he sits down in the TEMPLE OF GOD” so this could not be any part of Christendom:

3 "Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called “god” or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god."

Then there is also the NGO situation which if you really think about it is an outright lie. But the WTS uses more smooth talk by saying things like ‘we did not know what we were doing’ or ‘it was only to use their library’. Okay, the GB ‘did not know what they were doing’…so is that why it was a secret for ten years because then EVERYONE WOULD KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING? Sounds like a bad movie about the discovery of an adulterous mate, doesn’t it?

And until recently and only after the new press release from the UN on March 4th, 2004, rumor has it that the "modern day Pharisees" have told congregational elders to stop disfellowshipping ones for just asking questions about this NGO situation. The rumors are that because of that press release the WTS could get sued NOW if such ones were dealt with in an unkind way. What about all those poor brothers and sisters that asked questions before the press release and did get disfellowshipped? Oh well, just some more sheep scattered and skinned about and treated like they are of no account.

False teachings, burdening the brothers and sisters with “men‘s doctrines,” aligning those sincere brothers and sisters that go to the kingdom halls UNKNOWINGLY for ten years with the United Nations then lying about it and trying to cover it up with more lies, saying one thing and actually doing another with smooth talk, scattering the sheep in ways so disgusting…well, go look yourself at SilentLambs.org and no matter how you paint a picture about this…the real question is HOW DOES JEHOVAH GOD SEE THESE THINGS??? It does not matter how we or the WTS sees it but ONLY how Jehovah see it.

(James 4:4) "Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God."

Most elders in congregations all over the world are just following the lead of the GB and most are doing this without questioning their validity. But in light of false teachings like 1914 and the committing of spiritual fornication (NGO situation) should we not MAKE SURE OF ALL THINGS by way of the scriptures (Phil. 1:10; 1 Thess. 5:21)? Or do as the Beroeans do and check the scriptures to see if these things are so (Acts 17:11)?

But if we look at the scriptures, like for instance Luke 16:10, "The person faithful in what is least is faithful also in much, and the person unrighteous in what is least is unrighteous also in much." And then ask ourselves why have not the GB just admitted they were wrong? And if lying about one thing…does that mean they have lied about more things? I guess you would have to believe it could be a possibility according to the scripture above.

And then at another scripture that is describing ‘what KIND OF PERSON’ would be one of Jehovah’s anointed:

(1 John 3:9) "Everyone who has been born from God does not carry on sin, because His [reproductive] seed remains in such one, and he cannot practice sin, because he has been born from God."

Because of that 'reproductive seed', truly "anointed" people cannot MISTAKENLY commit "sin" and practice it for over 10 years...simple. Instead, conversely "anointed" people continually are "purifying themselves" as 1 John 3:3 shows us:

(1 John 3:3) "And everyone who has this hope set upon him purifies himself just as that one is pure."

These “modern day Pharisees” or the GB are the only CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN…somehow I do not see it anymore. For me, the NGO situation was the last straw. I could not see being part of the world, part of the United Nations and being a servant of Jehovah God…those things do not go together. And committing spiritual fornication by being a NGO is like making a golden calf as in Moses’ day. So like Moses had moved his tent away from the Israelites after he came down from Mt. Sinai and saw what they had done, I disassociated myself from the WTS (Exodus 33:7; Deuteronomy 9:15-19). Like Moses, I am afraid of what Jehovah God will do to them.

(2 Corinthians 6:14) "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness?"

(Ephesians 5:10-12) 10 "Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord; 11 and quit sharing with [them] in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness, but, rather, even be reproving [them], 12 for the things that take place in secret by them it is shameful even to relate."

Jesus said to ‘beware of the leaven of the Pharisees’ (Matt. 16:12). Let me ask you this…are you willing to bet your life and the lives of your family on the things taught by the WTS, by the Governing Body? Who are you loyal to ... Jehovah or the Society? That is a large question for anyone of us. So please, PRAY ABOUT IT AND THEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!

As for me, I see the GB as the APOSTATES and I say, "they must REPENT!!!"---Matt. 3:2, 4:22; Mark 6:12; Luke 13:3, 5; Act 8:22; 17:30; Rev. 2:5, 16, 21, 22.

“HOW MAD IS HE???”

Part 7

This is the last and final part to “How Mad Is He?” Through those last six parts I have tried to convey different ways of looking at this whole situation that Jehovah’s witnesses find themselves in today. I have also tried to get Jehovah's witnesses to ‘see’ what Jehovah Himself sees and how He and Jesus views these things. Because that is the only viewpoints that matters, isn’t it???

So for the 7th and last part, I want to convey to you, the reader, “how things really are” realistically speaking, of course, from Jehovah God’s perspective.

So imagine for yourself how a person that has grown up in an abusive home feels. Imagine, growing up in an abusive home where the husband in the family is a wife-beater. Yes, this may be a stretch for some but just for one second, please imagine that this person that grew up in this abusive situation just figured out that they were just like their father…an abusive wife-beater. Imagine how this person feels. This person would feel shocked and appalled. After all, this person did start out wanting to be everything their father was not. Okay, I will get back to this scenario at the end of this, part 7.

Did you know that Jehovah God was so mad at the Israelites in the wilderness that Moses was actually afraid at what God might do to them? (Deut. 9:18, 19) So afraid was Moses that he moved his tent to outside the camp away from those wicked Israelites (Exodus 33:7). When the Israelites left Egypt, Jehovah was leading them Himself but eventually God sent an angel as to lead the nation of Israel because of their wickedness (Exodus 33:2, 3). Interesting, as to another instance when Jehovah has been this MAD.

(Deuteronomy 9:18-19) 18 "And I proceeded to prostrate myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all YOUR sin that YOU had committed in doing evil in the eyes of Jehovah so as to offend him. 19 For I was scared because of the hot anger with which Jehovah had got indignant at YOU to the point of annihilating YOU. However, Jehovah listened to me also that time."

Today, many Jehovah's witnesses say that the NGO liaison is not that big a deal nor is the false teaching of 1914. And that the child abuse policies practiced by the WTS in every Kingdom Hall on this earth are working out fine. Some Jehovah's witnesses have even said, “sure the WTS has made mistakes but we are all imperfect and that is what Jesus blood sacrifice is for, so that we are forgiven.” This kind of thinking sounds so familiar.

Then, when I like to bring up Leviticus 4:3 to these Jehovah's witnesses, which brings out that when a priest sins, this priest brings sin and community guilt, actually upon the WHOLE nation of Israel. And a sacrifice is needed to atone for the whole nation.

(Leviticus 4:3) “If the priest, the anointed one, sins so as to bring guiltiness upon the people, then he must present for his sin that he has committed a sound young bull to Jehovah as a sin offering."

This is when they tell me that “we” are not under the Mosaic Law Covenant but the Christian Law Covenant, or as the Jehovah's witnesses like to say, “Jesus’ Law.” And I reply to this with, "Jehovah does not change according to Malachi 3:6." And then I add that in the Christian Law Covenant it does not say, “do not kill” but we know we are not suppose to do this, right?! So comparing one covenant with another covenant is just semantics.

But then I think these people, the Jehovah's witnesses that are called God’s people are a chip off the old block, so to speak. You are now saying to yourself, “what is she talking about now,” right? Well, think about it…

The Governing Body of Jehovah’s witnesses have been a NGO with the United Nations from 1991 to 2001. So for ten years, over and over again they had to re-new their membership with the United Nations as a NGO. And you can look this up for yourself so their [WTS] excuse that “they did not know what they were doing” is a crock. But they re-newed their membership with the UN over and over every year, did they not???

Yes, they did. But think, how does Jehovah God sees this? Do you think He is sees this continued use by the Governing Body, this use of Jesus’ blood over and over every year kind of like someone using Jesus blood like “roll-on deodorant”? I mean that is what everyone says that Jesus' blood is for, right, forgiveness of sins?!? Wow, that is a shocking thought. You don’t think Jehovah would get MAD at this, do you??? Lets consider…

(Hebrews 10:26) "...For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left.

Did you notice the part of the verse above that says: "...there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left..." Did you notice this?

What this means is quite simple: We today as christians, can sin and sin until there remains no more "sacrifice" for sins left. In other words, if we practice sin willfully, then we can run the risk of EXHAUSTING the sacrificial benefits of the gift or sacrifice God has presented for atonement of our sins...namely the precious gift and sacrifice of Jesus Christ as our sacrificial "lamb" being offered in our behalf. (See Hebrews 10:26-28)

And this is a very dangerous thing that can happen to unrepentant christians, who sin against God, willingly, with full knowledge...they practice sin willingly. The bible is clear...this type of sinning is practiced by "children of the Devil," as the apostle clearly states and surely results in the wicked individual and/or individuals receiving the 2nd Death. In fact, this type of sinning itself is called by the apostle John: "The sin that incurs death." Think about it. (See 1 John 3:9, 10; 1 John 5:16, 17.)

Therefore, for a Jehovah's witnesses to repeatedly say the secret sinning by the Governing Body of Jehovah's witnesses in being NGO supporters of the UN for close to 10 years, is simply a matter where the "blood of Jesus" can be applied, and that it surely will cover over their UNREPENTANT transgressions, sins that they committed over and over again, for a 10 year period, no doubt is a ridiculous assumption, in light of what the bible actually teaches on this matter. Yes, it is!

Further, let's consider this fact:

Isn’t this particular attitude (expressed by Jehovah's witnesses who wish to mitigate the magnitude of the transgression of the Governing Body), yes, isn't this attitude simply a “ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED” attitude, when you think about it? Yes, this sounds like it to me.

In fact, most of us remember what the Reasoning Book says about this attitude. And for those who do not, look in the Reasoning Book, on page 358 under “Salvation” and the subheading, “Once a person is saved, is he always saved?” Or look at Bible Topics for Discussion in the back of your bible in NWT, I believe it is topic #38. But lets see what the Watchtower magazine has to say about this:

Watchtower, September 15, 1989, pp. 6-7, "What We Must Do to Be Saved"
"That sacrifice has saved us from Adamic sin, and Jesus will protect those who exercise faith in him. No one can snatch them out of his hand. But we can lose that protection. How? By doing what was done by many Israelites who were saved from Egypt. We can deliberately choose to disobey God. — Deuteronomy 30:19, 20"

Hmmmmm, “once saved, always saved” … I guess Jehovah’s witnesses are doing what all the churches are doing now. Even though they had the truth now they are choosing to ignore it? But the bible does not say they can or will get away with ignoring the “Truth.” It seems God’s people will be worst off than the worldly ones when judgment comes upon them.

(Luke 12:48) "But the one that did not understand and so did things deserving of strokes will be beaten with few. Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him; and the one whom people put in charge of much, they will demand more than usual of him."

So things are much worst today for God’s people as there is much more KNOWLEDGE on the earth than ever before. Much more knowledge than that was available in the first century. So I ask you all, when does this scripture come into play?

Are you as one of God’s People relying upon your own self-righteousness like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day? If you are then you do not seem to have any “fear of Jehovah” at all. Could Jehovah God see His People today as these scriptures describe?

(Proverbs 30:12-13) 12 "There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes but that has not been washed from its own excrement. 13 There is a generation whose eyes have become O how lofty! and whose beaming eyes are lifted up."

Now lets get back to that scenario I talked about at the beginning of this (part 7). Do you feel appalled or shocked at learning that you are just like “your father” [Governing Body] and a ‘chip off the old block,’ so to speak? If you agree with the Governing Body then you must face the Great Tribulation, which is just about to start.

Something to think about.
