           VERY IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS part 1

 The 4 letters YHWH should they be translated with vowels?

All scripture is “inspired” by God, and is beneficial for “teaching, reproving, for setting things straight” so that one can be fully competent, fully equipped for every good work. (2^nd Tim 3v16) also God cannot lie! (Hebrew chapter 6v18) and why would he want to?

God’s word cover from Genesis chapter 1v1 ~ Revelation chapter 22v21. So anything outside these boundaries are NOT GOD’S WRITTEN WORD! This includes the “PREFACE” which is contained at the beginning of every bible. This is man’s addition to the bible and cannot be taken as part  of God’s word.

Jehovah’s witnesses quote from these man-made words when justifying the translation of the YHWH as Jehovah throughout the entire bible, which they have altered and added to their bible. They quote where it says “The Lord in capitals it should read Jehovah”. These are Not God’s words of instructions here but man’s and if they are taken as God’s word it would in fact make our God out to be a liar and not a God of truth. Let me illustrate: ~

In Exodus chapter 6v3 it mentions the 4 letters for the first time, we are not privileged to the whole account except when these letters are used, God makes a statement “by the name YHWH, translated with vowels to read “Jehovah” I was NOT known to Abraham”. Now Abraham was called in the scriptures, “a friend of God” and yet he did not make this name known to him proving it was NOT important for him to know. The covenant between Abraham and the Lord, Almighty God, was made with “the Lord” and not any other name and the covenant was legally binding as such. So when our God appeared to Abraham it was not by YHWH, Jehovah, and when Abraham made altars for sacrifice it was to the Lord. Gen 17v19-22, 18v132. This is where we should NOT go be man’s word as in the “preface” and translate those Genesis accounts as YHWH, Jehovah, because our God has stated he did NOT make himself known to Abraham by that name YHWH, Jehovah.

Also when Moses had to go to the Israelite’s in Egypt he could NOT have used YHWH, Jehovah, because they would not have know that name either.

By listening to man’s word, the preface, Jehovah’s witnesses have made our God out to be a liar because they have altered the accounts in Genesis to read YHWH, Jehovah, instead of Lord.

When William Tyndale was used to copy God’s word from the original languages into English he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to insert vowels into the YHWH, forming Jehovah. This is the first recorded version of the name in Exodus chapter 6v3. We are just from the dust of the ground and cannot possibly know the mind of our God or why he sanctioned this, but there must be a good reason for it.

We now know it is NOT God’s name (Jehovah) and anyone having an inheritance through Abraham certainly would NOT use this name. The purpose for that name has now been fulfilled and no longer needed so it will be wiped out from the face of the earth in the same way it came in. It is also of interest here to point out all of the Jewish versions of God’s word (Gen to Malachi) certainly do not use any of these man-made names for God. Neither do any of the Greek scriptures from Matthew to Revelation, use any names for God. Only Jehovah’s witnesses violate this view.

Right now our God is using the pope, the head of the largest Christian religion, the Catholic Church to remove the name from their hymns and shortly they will be joined by other Christian religions to do the same. That name will not be used under the kingdom of the Christ, it HAS been fulfilled.

            VERY IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS   

Symbolic Jerusalem in the last days, which covers the 490 years before the return of the Christ as the king of the whole earth, consists of different stages.

Just like the prophecy in Dan 9v25-27, (7 weeks, 62 weeks, and 1 week) which is fulfilled in three parts, so too the city goes through different stages before the return of the Christ. Two stages taking part during the last one week, or seven years.

As God’s people were handed over to the nations in 605 BC under the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, they will come under them, the nations, until the time God’s kingdom is set up over the earth these includes all the angelic rulers who have been over God’s people too. According to Daniel chapter 2, it shows the king of Babylon appointed over everything on the earth during the time of the building up of the city in the last days, (v44). Obviously we are not referring to the original Nebuchadnezzar who has been dead for about 2,500 years, but the “angelic prince of Babylon”. He will be in charge whilst the building of the city takes place, but will take a backseat just as Nebuchadnezzar was over Jerusalem in 605, he allowed the city to be run by their own kings, but under the oversight of himself. He even appointed Zedekiah to take care of the city. So although the angelic prince of Babylon is now over God’s people he did not interfere in the setting up of symbolic spiritual Jerusalem.

The spiritual symbolic city is established and legalised in 1884, as “Zion’s Watch Tower bible and tract Society of Pennsylvania”, Zion being another name for Jerusalem, hence, Jerusalem’s tower of light. Which will guide ones to spiritual Jerusalem.

1^st  The city between 1884 ~ 1916

During this time the city comes under the guidance of the holy spirit and the earthly representative Charles Russell. Not all Russell’s teachings were sound at this time but many were correct. He died in 1916.

2^nd The city between 1916 ~ 1931.

This was a very traumatic time for the city when Joseph Rutherford took over the reigns as the head. The people split into two halves just like the nations of Israel did under Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. (Samaria and Judah) Half stayed with the teachings of Russell and the others which made up Jerusalem stayed under Rutherford. This was the start of the earthly man of lawlessness, Joseph Rutherford, who changed all Russell’s teachings and replaced them with his own ideas, needless to say, they were all wrong. He was able to do this because the kingdom seed had all become sleepy due to all the false dates for the Christ to return, giving Satan chance to sow his seeds amongst them. These two groups will grow side by side together inside Jerusalem until the harvest, then they will be separated. Rutherford split Jerusalem into two groups a heavenly and an earthly group, which caused a great deal of problems for the future. Only the heavenly group were permitted to partake of the emblems at the Lord’s last supper, and eventually he changed their husbandly owner from Jesus Christ to “Jehovah” as their saviour. He was the cause of the bride of Jesus becoming a harlot against her owner the Christ and belonging to another saviour instead. Only the heavenly ones were to take this name upon themselves and the earthly group were called “johnadabs”. Because of this great apostasy the city was handed over to the angelic prince of Babylon for 70 years just as before under Nebuchadnezzar.  

3^rd The city between 1931 ~ 2001.

The city became apostate and left the teachings of God, which Russell had taught, and in 1931 she was handed over to the “Angelic Prince of Babylon” for 70 years just as in 605 BC under Nebuchadnezzar. She became a harlot just like her sisters before her, Samaria and Judah, by taking another owner and abandoning her husbandly owner Jesus Christ. She took as her new owner, her new saviour Jehovah. (Isaiah 43v10, 11) But as we know this book of Isaiah was written for God’s people Israel only, and he was the only saviour at that time, after which he provided a new saviour Jesus Christ for the world. So at this time they preferred to be under the old laws of Moses than the new ones under Jesus. To publicize this to the world, their sign for Jerusalem, “Zion’s watch tower”, meaning Jerusalem’s tower of light, became “the watchtower announcing Jehovah’s kingdom” instead of the kingdom of the Christ.

                     What a great insult to our saviour Jesus.

4^th  The city between 2002 ~ 2005.

 By 2002 the city was once more established as Jerusalem under the Messiah, (this also fulfils the prophecy in Dan 9v26, after the 62 weeks the Messiah will be here 2002) the 70 years under the angelic prince of Babylon ended in 2001 when they were released from bondage. (The angelic prince of Babylon was chopped down symbolically for seven times just as Daniel chapter 4 shows, he was removed from being over God’s people)

For the next 3 ½ years the Messiah made his inspection visit upon the kingdom seed as “Elijah” and was with them to prepare them for his return as their husbandly owner. (Matt 25 “at midnight the call went out ‘ here comes the bridegroom come out to meet him’”) After being in Babylon they needed to be taught the truth and to be shown who the man of lawlessness is. (Rev 11, 2^nd Thes 2)

The 2 witnesses would teach them dressed in sack-cloth which shows their teachings will be very painful to them after all these years to learn the truth because up until now, they believed they had the truth.

But Satan is not happy with this because he does not want the kingdom of the Christ re-established once again so he makes war upon Michael and his angels at the end of the 3 ½ years, (Rev 12) he is defeated and thrown down.

The angels that are caring for the harvested kingdom seed, took hold of their hands and took them outside the city to a place of safety where they would be fed through the holy spirit in their hearts, whilst removing the holy spirit from the city, it is then handed over to the angelic king of Babylon for the remainder of his reign of 42 months. After he was appointed by Satan all his kingdom and authority on the earth he was promoted from a prince to a king.

5^th 2006 ~ 2009.

The final destiny of the city.

Now all Satan’s power has gone being defeated by Michael half-way through the last 7 years, he brings up the angelic prince of Babylon who had been chopped down over Jerusalem as it were for those 7 years, and appoints him over all his kingdom and authority over the earth, making him the king of the whole earth. Once he became the king, he rode out to conquer the newly freed Jerusalem (Rev 6) capturing the city and taking over the ownership once more, of the newly abandoned city by the Messiah. (which fulfils Dan 9v6) He becomes the “antichrist king” over Jerusalem, now established as the city belonging to Babylon, the greater Babylon and as there are no restraints upon him this time (holy spirit) He takes the people of Jerusalem, now Babylon, and makes them his bride, just to mimic Jesus.

Jehovah’s witnesses becomes his bride, the queen of Babylon and she will wear the headdress of towers just like the original queen of Babylon in the days of Nimrod.

Rev 13v1, 11, shows as this ruler is angelic in nature he will need an image to himself, to dominate his bride, one that can be seen and heard and one who will expect worship the same as the ruler. This image is “the governing body” this arrangement too mimics Jesus who had a FDS to issue food, which the Messiah removed to a place of safety, now the king of Babylon has a governing body to issue his instructions.

It is also during his reign the prophecy shows, his people, Jehovah’s witnesses, his bride and his queen, along with the governing body the king of Babylon’s mouthpiece, will destroy the city and the sanctuary of Jerusalem. They have done this and have made for themselves a new city, Babylon, which they have named “the head quarters of Jehovah’s witnesses” the city they destroyed was “Zion’s watch tower bible and tract society of Pennsylvania and the sanctuary they destroyed was, “Brooklyn Heights”.

The prophecy of Daniel 9v25-27 was fulfilled in 2009 with the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the anointing of a holy one. The Messiah is anointed the “king of the whole earth”. He will ride into battle against the king of Babylon and his armies and they will all be destroyed. (Rev 16v16, 17v12-18)

Rev 16v19 shows the seventh angel pouring out his wrath upon the city, the seventh being the last, and the city was cut into three parts which is very interesting as the angelic antichrist king’s mouthpiece, the governing body and his bride, Jehovah’s witnesses, after his marriage, destroyed the city and divided it up into three parts.

1^st part being: ~ “Zion’s watch tower bible and tract society of Pennsylvania”. With a president, D Adams.

2^nd part being: ~ “The watchtower bible and tract society of New York”, with a president, H Lawson.

3^rd part: ~ “World headquarters of Jehovah’s witnesses”. Which make up Babylon the great and the harlot  Jehovah’s witnesses  all three branches, come under a governing body as their spiritual light and insight instead of the faithful and discreet slave class which they say Jesus appointed in 1918/9. They have made this group redundant, so are they now saying, Jesus did not really appoint them in the first place?

                                                  The end of the line for the city of Babylon.

                                                                 SOON TO BE DESTROYED!

LOGICAL QUESTIONS FOR THE GOVERNING BODY.

05 Jul 2010 Leave a Comment

by PITN in Bible vs WT

                       LOGICAL QUESTIONS!

If Dan 9v25-27 is a prophecy concerning the last 490 years before the return of Jesus the Messiah as the anointed king of the whole earth and is the legal heir to his father’s throne as the first-born, what important questions does it pose for us today?

We need firstly to understand the prophecy because it has been broken up into three parts: ~

1^st/ to restore = 7 weeks = 49 years.

2^nd/ to build a city until the Messiah = 62 weeks = 434 years.

3^rd/ the remaining 1 week = 7 years. Divided into 2, 3 ½ years each.

 During the first 3 ½ years, the harvest of the first fruits take place and the kingdom seed collected and given the seal of approval, they are then taken out of the apostate city, fed spiritually through their heart.

I believe the city today according to Dan 9, is “Zion’s Watch Tower bible and tract Society of Pennsylvania” which was legalised in 1884, by Charles Russell. So logically speaking then, who is the prince to come and who are his people that will destroy the city?

As it is a legal corporation those belonging to the city are the only ones that can destroy it.

 Dan 9 speaks of a prince to come who will be over the city and HIS people will destroy the city during the last 3 ½   years. So this is an internal people belonging to the city.

The “prince” will be the last angelic ruler over Jerusalem and will have his OWN earthly followers inside the city they will eventually take over the city, destroy it and set themselves up as a new nation belonging to the “prince” who is to come.

Today, the city has been conquered and (2004-9) destroyed, sold off and a new headquarters have been set up for 2010 as “The head quarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses”, the city has now been taken over by Jehovah’s Witnesses the people of “THE PRINCE TO COME”!

So the big logical conclusion must be: ~

The angelic “prince to come” MUST BE JEHOVAH.

His people are known as “Jehovah’s Witnesses” and have not been known as the “Zion’s Watch Tower Society since 1931 when they adopted that name for themselves after the prince to come, “JEHOVAH”., becoming his subjects.

This one is also the angelic “PRINCE OF BABYLON” the original little horn, whom spiritual Israel committed fornication with and chose to be his people (Jehovah’s) instead of belonging to the Christ in the 1930s, now they will be under him for 70 years as a punishment, just like her older sisters, Samaria, who was handed over to the Assyrians and Judah who was handed over to Babylon, so too now, spiritual Jerusalem is handed over to the angelic prince of Babylon and then a remnant will be released. A remnant of kingdom heirs, the true seed of the kingdom will be released before the harlot city is handed over completely to the angelic Prince of Babylon, Jehovah for his reign of 42 months before he is to be destroyed totally.

At the end of the 70 years the “Prince of Babylon, Jehovah” will be cut down as in Dan 4, just like king Nebuchadnezzar, and will become inactive like a wild uncontrolled animal for 7 years, this is pictured by the head which was severed but was restored in Rev 13v3. (The 7year treaty takes place between the little horn, the angelic “PRINCE OF BABYLON” and Michael, who is the angelic “PRINCE OF ISRAEL” Daniels people. (Dan 9 v 27, 10v21, 12v1)

Whilst the anointed one makes his inspection visit upon the city as “Elijah” at the beginning of the last 7 years, to prepare his kingdom seed for his return as the king of the whole earth. He brings many angels with him and his 2 witnesses teach the kingdom seed the truth about everything. We are told this teaching and preaching work will last for 3 ½ years and it will be revealed to them who the man of lawlessness is (Rev 11)

But Satan is not happy with the thought of the spiritual kingdom of Israel returning to the Christ so he brings up the “Prince of Babylon, Jehovah” out of inactivity, the original angelic son of lawlessness and gives him all his kingdom and authority so that he rides into battle against the holy angels, (Rev 6) killing them off by capturing the city once more and he now becomes the anointed one of Satan, the antichrist king, the last ruler over God’s people and will reign over them for 42 months until his destruction, thus restoring the head which was severed. (Rev 13v1)

It is at this stage Rev 13v11 that Satan also appoints another angelic one, (after being defeated in the war between himself and Michael Rev 12v7) he no longer have the power he had, so after giving his kingdom to the antichrist king, Jehovah, (Rev 13) he has to appoint a spokesman for himself, a false prophet who will guide the newly appointed antichrist king over all his possessions and gets his people Jehovah’s witnesses to make an image to this ruler. Note here, it says “an image to the ruler” not an image OF the ruler. This image will be worshipped alongside the ruler and have the same authority. This image would have to represent the angelic antichrist king of Babylon Jehovah, (who cannot be seen) so the image would be an earthly representative of this angelic one, which will have the same authority as the king and would be given a mouth piece for the king to use and seen as having the authority needed, so that anyone NOT obeying the image, “the governing body”, will be disfellowshipped.

Satan gives all his backing to the image (governing body) and they place inside the temple of Jehovah, the tower of Babel, the new study watchtower which stands for confusion of tongues, which was set up in January 2008 the heart of Babylon, which is the false prophet’s teachings, and is food only for Jehovah’s witnesses and not used outside the temple of Jehovah, it was placed as the “disgusting thing, which causes desolation” inside the temple of Jehovah, announcing Jehovah’s kingdom.  

This is the final outcome for Dan 9 v 25-27: ~

The real city was to be under the Christ as the spiritual Jerusalem, he would use the FDS as his spokesman to feed his sheep and to gather the remaining kingdom seed together. It would be advertised as “Zion’s Watch Tower” to guide the sheep to Jerusalem, Zion being another name for Jerusalem.

The fake city takes over when Jerusalem has been handed over to the angelic prince of Babylon Jehovah (1930s) and later destroyed (2004-9) by Jehovah’s people his witnesses, no longer “Zion’s Watch Tower bible and tract Society of Pennsylvania” but now known as: ~ The “world head quarters of Jehovah’s witnesses” and under the “Prince to come Jehovah” the angelic prince of Babylon, and he uses the image “the governing body” as his spokesman to keep his people in order and he feeds his people through the false prophet, the tower of Babel, which is placed inside the fake city as the disgusting thing which causes desolation. 

When Russell died the original city was taken over by the first earthly representative of the man of lawlessness Rutherford who changed the city to “the Watchtower announcing Jehovah’s kingdom”. Since that time this angelic prince who was to come, Jehovah, the original angelic M/of/L has been sitting inside the temple (Brooklyn Heights) slowly destroying the teachings and the original city in favour of his kingdom this is the very same one as mentioned by Paul to the Thes chapter 2, where he claims to be GOD the almighty and is worshipped as GOD the almighty by his people his witnesses. They proclaim he is GOD and even have their own bible for him. 

The angelic prince to come, Jehovah, who completes the 7 headed beast of Rev 13, (rulers) will be killed in battle along with the false prophet who will be burned alive. (Rev 16) As for the earthly representative of this one, the image, the governing body, Paul says in 2^nd Thes 2, this man of lawlessness will be killed by the sword coming from the mouth of Jesus when he returns, the sword of the spirit.

GOVERNING BODY SELLS OFF THE SPANISH BETHEL.

05 Jul 2010 Leave a Comment

by PITN in Bible vs WT

 Jehovah’s witnesses did you know your governing body are thieves? YES! That is right! They have sold off the Spanish bethel, put all its workers out on the street with no money and no assets and guess what? It did not even belong to them to take the money but belonged to the Spanish witnesses themselves who paid for everything.

Spanish JW’s Upset Over Bethel Move

On April 1, 2009 a let­ter was sent from the Gov­ern­ing Body of Jehovah’s Wit­nesses to con­gre­ga­tions in Spain inform­ing them that the print­ing, ship­ping, and stor­age of Watch­tower pub­li­ca­tions would be dis­con­tin­ued at the Madrid (Ajalvir) Branch office. The let­ter expressed con­fi­dence that the Span­ish Wit­nesses would, despite the move, continue to gen­er­ously sup­port the world wide work and ends with an appeal to remain united under the direc­tion of the Wit­ness leadership.

At a glance, this story may seem like a non-issue, perhaps, just another exam­ple of reor­ga­ni­za­tion and con­sol­i­da­tion within a multi­na­tional cor­po­ra­tion; how­ever, the dis­so­lu­tion of the print­ing branch has caused con­sid­er­able hard feel­ings among some of Jehovah’s Wit­nesses in Spain. To under­stand the rea­son we must first look at the his­tory behind the branch office and exter­nal fac­tors that some feel prompted this abrupt move.

Early in their history, Jehovah’s Wit­nesses began print­ing their trade­mark Watch­tower mag­a­zines and asso­ci­ated books and tracts in-house at their “Bethel” head­quar­ters in Brook­lyn, New York.  As the reli­gious orga­ni­za­tion grew and expanded over­seas, “branch offices” and print­ing facil­i­ties were estab­lished  in dif­fer­ent loca­tions across the globe to sup­port the preach­ing work in those ter­ri­to­ries.   Such was the case in Spain in 1980, where the need for a local print­ing facil­ity was explained at Span­ish dis­trict con­ven­tions of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

At the time, expansion at the head­quar­ters in New York left the Watch Tower cor­po­ra­tion with­out the finances to build offices and a print­ing facil­ity in Spain and so the Span­ish Wit­nesses were solicited to fol­low the exam­ple of the Israelites in bring­ing their gold, sil­ver, and valu­able items to Moses in order to build the Taber­na­cle. (Exo­dus 35:5–9) The 1983 Year­book of Jehovah’s Wit­nesses, reports the gen­er­ous way that the Span­ish Wit­nesses responded to this appeal.:

At the close of the con­ven­tions, peo­ple were lin­ing up to con­tribute their jew­els, gold and sil­ver rings and bracelets, so that these could be turned into cash to finance the new project. At the con­ven­tion in San Sebastián in the Basque coun­try, an elderly sis­ter handed over a heavy gold bracelet. When asked if she was sure that she wanted to donate such a valu­able item, she answered: “Brother, it is going to do far more good pay­ing for a new Bethel than it will on my wrist!”

“”

With the unspar­ing finan­cial sup­port of the Span­ish Wit­nesses a new branch office and print­ing facil­ity was later con­structed in Madrid.   Being financed within the coun­try, this new Bethel was a source of pride for the Span­ish Wit­nesses.  Many would make spe­cial trips just to tour the facil­ity.  Now some are hurt to watch as the print­ing presses that they gave their pre­cious heir­looms to buy are shipped to Ger­many and the Bethel that they sac­ri­ficed their sav­ings to build is antic­i­pated to be sold, with the pro­ceeds of the sale return­ing back to the US Watch Tower cor­po­ra­tion that was orig­i­nally unable to finance its con­struc­tion.   This sit­u­a­tion might not be near as bit­ter if it were not for the events that tran­spired in Spain that some feel to be the impe­tus behind this relocation.

In Decem­ber 2007, after an inves­ti­ga­tion, the Social Secu­rity office of Spain issued a rul­ing that the Madrid Bethel was required to pro­vide a pen­sion for those who worked in its print­ing facil­i­ties.   His­tor­i­cally, Bethel work­ers receive no such ben­e­fits.   Upon join­ing the Bethel “fam­ily” they take a vow of poverty and are inducted into a reli­gious order, not unlike a Catholic monastery.  While at Bethel they  receive a small monthly stipend for per­sonal items in addi­tion to room and board.   Though they are work­ing in a mod­ern print­ing oper­a­tion, they are viewed as reli­gious vol­un­teers and have no work­ers’ com­pen­sa­tion ben­e­fits or pen­sion to sup­port them, if injury, health, age, or other cir­cum­stances should force them out of their Bethel “home”.

In recent years, the Watch Tower has seen a fair share of cor­po­rate down­siz­ing.   This has been par­tic­u­larly felt in the United States headquarters, which has expe­ri­enced sig­nif­i­cant cut­backs within the New York Bethel fam­ily.  Many men and women in their youth were encour­aged to make ser­vice at Bethel a “life career”, at the expense of fam­ily, edu­ca­tion, and a sec­u­lar career.  They entered Bethel with the idea that they would stay there for the rest of their life, mak­ing it their “home”.  Now as older adults they are  feel­ing the sting of cut­backs as they are asked to leave their Bethel home, start­ing all over again in the sec­u­lar world with­out pen­sions or with­out hav­ing con­tributed toward retire­ment or Social Secu­rity.   This is the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion in Madrid, where it is esti­mated that up to 200 Bethel work­ers are being asked to leave with­out reassignment.

The Span­ish Social Secu­rity office’s deci­sion to hold the Madrid Bethel respon­si­ble for pro­vid­ing ben­e­fits for print­ing fac­tory work­ers and other mem­bers of the order presents a con­sid­er­able finan­cial hit in a reli­gious orga­ni­za­tion that has already expe­ri­enced hard­ships in tough eco­nomic times. This has caused some Span­ish Wit­nesses to believe that the deci­sion to relo­cate print­ing oper­a­tions to another coun­try is specif­i­cally moti­vated by the fis­cal impli­ca­tions of the Social Secu­rity office’s deci­sion, despite what the Branch Office claims about the reor­ga­ni­za­tion being moti­vated by other fac­tors such as simplification.

The Span­ish Wit­nesses who might nor­mally com­pletely trust the deci­sions made by the organization’s lead­er­ship have rea­son to be suspicious.  After los­ing their peti­tion against pro­vid­ing Social Secu­rity ben­e­fits to Bethel work­ers, the Span­ish Branch Office of Jehovah’s Wit­nesses sent a let­ter to the local con­gre­ga­tions announc­ing the new pro­vi­sion.  In the let­ter, Wit­ness lead­er­ship implies that it was they who peti­tioned Social Secu­rity for entry into the sys­tem in order to pro­vide ben­e­fits.  The con­gre­ga­tions were kept in the dark about the real rea­son that these con­tested ben­e­fits were being pro­vided to those in the reli­gious order.

A sim­i­lar sit­u­a­tion occurred in the United States in 1990.  At the time, Jimmy Swag­gart Min­istries was in the US Supreme Court, chal­leng­ing taxes assessed on pub­li­ca­tions sold by the pop­u­lar tel­e­van­ge­list.   Unknown to US Wit­nesses, the Watch Tower, filed a “friend of the court” brief (ami­cus curiae) in the Swag­gart Tax­a­tion case, because the rul­ing would open the door for tax­ing the Watch Tower, as Jehovah’s Wit­nesses went door to door sell­ing their Watch­tower mag­a­zine and asso­ci­ated lit­er­a­ture.   When Swag­gart lost the case, the Watch Tower, quickly adopted a new “dona­tion arrange­ment”, where the magzines and lit­er­a­ture were offered with­out a spec­i­fied cost, and a dona­tion request was made.

In a let­ter sent to all US con­gre­ga­tions the Watch Tower explained the new arrange­ment saying,

“By adopt­ing a method of lit­er­a­ture dis­tri­b­u­tion based com­pletely on dona­tion, Jehovah’s peo­ple are able to greatly sim­plify our Bible edu­ca­tion work and sep­a­rate our­selves from those who com­mer­cial­ize religion.”

“”

No men­tion was made of the con­nec­tion between the new “dona­tion arrange­ment” and the Jimmy Swag­gart case, and to this day, this is rel­a­tively unknown among Jehovah’s Wit­nesses.  Sim­i­lar to the way the Span­ish branch han­dled the Social Secu­rity rul­ing, the US branch office spun the “dona­tion arrange­ment” as a way of sim­pli­fi­ca­tion with­out reveal­ing the real reasons.

The Span­ish Wit­nesses feel slighted that the reli­gious orga­ni­za­tion they gave their life and finances to is now treat­ing them so carelessly. Equally they are  hurt by the lack of can­dor and hon­esty com­ing from head­quar­ters about the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion.  Cur­rently the dis­con­tent among the reli­gion are orga­niz­ing and mak­ing their case that any funds com­ing from the sale of the Bethel facil­ity should be go back to the ones that financed it the first place.   They sug­gest that such money could be used in a char­i­ta­ble way, such as pro­vid­ing a retire­ment facil­ity for those in their ranks that  are now aging, with­out pro­vi­sion, hav­ing giv­ing their life in ser­vice of the reli­gion.     Iron­i­cally, they are vying to pro­vide the very care that Wit­ness lead­er­ship itself is reluc­tant to give.

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES MAKES LOUSY TEACHERS AND PROPHETS, BUT, MAKES FANTASTIC COCKTAILS.

                          THE BIBLE VS JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES.

                                                     Parts 1+2.

WOW Jehovah’s witnesses are fantastic at making cocktails!

Jehovah’s witnesses teach that God’s kingdom was set up in 1914 CE, and will end the Gentiles nations, which had been under Satan’s control.  They arrive at this date by stating the destruction of Jerusalem took place in 607 BC under Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.

So, to their cocktail shaker they add the first ingredient, 607 BC.

 The next part of this super cocktail takes us into the bible book of Daniel chapter 4.

 The history at this time is: – the Israelites are in captivity in Babylon and are now under king Nebuchadnezzar, who is a pagan king who worships many gods. They were taken into captivity because they rebelled against their God and this was to last for 70 years.

Now the wonderful conclusion of THEIR logic. Into the cocktail shaker goes Numbers 14 v 34 which is a “a year for a day” which we shall call a double Gin, followed by Daniel 4 v 16,32 “seven times, seven years, which is the Vodka. Add to this the prophecy from Ezekiel chapter 21 v 25-27 where the crown was removed from Zedekiah making Jerusalem without a king for a period of time, (note Zedekiah NOT NEBUCHADNEZZAR) we’ll call this a double shot of Brandy, and just for good measure we shall add a large bitter lemon. All this is shaken and stirred to produce a wonderful mish-mash cocktail.

NOW THE CONCLUSION: -

What have they produced out of the cocktail shaker? We remove the lid, WOW the first thing to hit you is the pong and what a stink, it even tastes foul too. But they exclaim it is wonderful, look!

The 2,520 days (which was the seven times) have become 2,520 years, and because Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BC and the king on God’s throne removed, these 2,520 years is a prophesy that the next king to sit on God’s throne will be in 1913, but because there is no zero year between 1BC and 1CE, they now add one year making it 1914 CE

WOW. How clever. So, from the time Zedekiah was removed as king no one else will use this title until then. Well, that is what Jehovah’s witnesses TEACH.

                                          The bible vs. Jehovah’s witnesses!

                                                     PART 3

Hi! I’m back with the TRUTH about Jesus and when he became king according to the reference scripture “THEY” used I shall be using the “N.I.V” (new international version) so please read your bible with the scriptures I am going to use, and hold on to your hat to become amazed at the differences. Maybe the next time “THEY call at your home, you can tell them with a sure positive mind that “THEY” are WRONG.

The scripture they used in their cocktail of mish-mash is Ezekiel chapter 21 v 25-27. It says in part “remove the crown–it will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs, to him I will give it” so the kingship was taken away from Zedekiah because he was unfaithful and it will go to the person who comes who will have a legal right to the kingship. As the kingship was in Jerusalem, (which was where God had established it) the one who was to come in the future would also have to come to Jerusalem in order to claim this right. IS THAT NOT WHAT THIS PROPHECY IS SAYING? OF COURSE IT IS. So the one who comes, MUST come to Jerusalem in order to qualify.

 But what about the “legal” aspects? What “legal” rights to the kingship would this one need? Well, he would have to be appointed king by God as it was his kingdom, he must come from the kingly line of David, which Jesus parents did. Mary coming from one of David’s sons and even Joseph his foster father came through the line of David through his other son, so, Jesus had the legal right of inheritance. (Sons of David being Solomon and Nathan) (Proof of this is in Matthew chapter 1 v 6,16 also Luke chapter 3 v 23,31)

A further prophecy we could look up is in Zechariah chapter 9 v 9, Under the heading, “the coming of Zion’s king” it says “See your king comes to you—and riding on a donkey—on a colt” The footnote says “this refers to the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem—the Davidic Messianic king”, just before his capture and death.

This was the correct way, all the other kings before Jesus claimed the right by riding into Jerusalem in the same way. But, this time, Jesus did the same thing to register his right as the legal representative of God for the throne of his father David, and although he was accepted as the king by the people, the religious leaders and the Pharisee’s blocked the reign, and took steps to have Jesus killed instead. But, as we shall see later, it was this claim of Jesus as king to the throne, which signed his death warrant.

It is of interest to note at this time that even others who were not of the tribes of Israel knew of the awaited coming of this promised king, and it even brought the visit of the “magi” (as the three wise men are known) to find this one when he was born. Matthew chapter 2 v 1, 2 says, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?” They knew by reading the stars that a special one, a special king had been born.

Isaiah chapter 9 v 6,7, says, “For to us a child is born to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called—prince of peace—he will reign on David’s throne.” This is a prophesy for Jesus.

The fulfilment of the earlier prophesy we looked at in Zechariah is in Matthew chapter 21 v 5,9 which says “See, your king comes to you—riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey” after the procession into Jerusalem, the whole city were stirred into shouting praise to “Hosanna to the son of David” and laying their cloaks and branches on the floor before him. We can also see the account in Luke chapter 19 v 38 which says “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord” Also chapter 20 v 41-47 shows everyone knew the Christ was the son of David, Jesus certainly had the qualification as legal rights to the throne of David in Jerusalem.

There are many other places in the bible, which prove Jesus to be the rightful king in Jerusalem. Matthew chapter 27 v 37 says “Jesus the king of the Jews” — John chapter 1 v 49 says “Rabbi you are King of Israel” — john 19 v 15 when confronted, the Israelites said “We have no king except Caesar” and while Jesus was dying, a sign was placed over his head we can read about this in Matthew chapter 27 v 37 “Above his head they place the written charge against him: this is Jesus, THE KING OF THE JEWS”. The charge, which caused his death, was that HE claimed to be the king of Israel, which he truly was. He was turned down as the rightful king in Jerusalem, just like the false teachings of the watchtower society (Jehovah’s witnesses) today.

CONCLUSION: ~
The watchtower society (Jehovah’s witnesses) cannot in all conscience deny Jesus was the promised one to the throne of David and that he WAS the one who the Jews were waiting for, in order to restore the throne in Jerusalem. He certainly fulfilled the prophesies in both Ezekiel and Zechariah and he WAS the one to come and restore the kingship in Jerusalem. He was THE KING OF THE JEWS WHEN HE WAS KILLED. We know he was NOT going to take up office in Jerusalem at that time and that he came to establish a new covenant a spiritual nation, but the fact remains HE WAS THE KING WHEN HE DIED and he did indeed fulfil the prophecies. You would think the scripture in Ezekiel 21, was self explanatory, it is referring to the earthly throne in Jerusalem, NOT any other kingship.

I sincerely hope everyone will read through these bible points to see for yourselves how WRONG THESE WITNESSESS REALLY ARE.
JESUS CERTAINLY DID NOT FULFILL ANY OF THESE PROPHESIES IN 1914 CE BUT FULFILLED THEM AS A HUMAN, A MAN ON THE EARTH, SENT HERE BY HIS FATHER.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

         NEWS BULLETIN 

Take heed all Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world this will be my penultimate warning to you!  Revelation chapter 18 v 4 says  “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities” (RSV) If you are familiar with this live journal you will have followed the logical argument throughout its pages, comparing the teachings of the watchtower society with the teachings of God’s word the bible. Their sins of apostasy have indeed reached the heavens and the time for action on his part is now due. 2^nd Thessalonians chapter 2 v 11 states, because they will not listen to the truth and be saved, God will send upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false. (RSV) This is a firm prophecy that after giving them enough evidence of truth they shun it and stay with the false teachings, God will make them believe they have the truth.  We are not referring to the world of mankind but, to the church of Christ as v 4 shows, this lawless one will be seated inside the temple of God (amongst the anointed ones) proclaiming to be God.  Please read the following conclusions.

The three main foundation stones to their “Tower” teachings are: ~

                                                           One.

Their “NO BLOOD POLICY” which we have just studied and found to be totally false even from the founder of their society, CHARLES RUSSELL’S own words in his watchtower article of Sep. 1887, under the heading, “influence under the law among early Christians” who calls the early apostles weak for allowing James opinion on that addition to stand and of course he also recognised it was only to please the Jews at that time because of their jealousy over the Gentiles.                  It certainly is NOT a teaching of Jesus Christ, who summed all the (Mosaic) laws up as one law, to “love God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself”. (Matthew chapter 22 v 34-41) The prophet Isaiah says “behold my servant whom I have chosen ~ I will put my spirit upon him and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles ~ and in his name will the Gentiles hope”, not in the laws of Moses but in the name of Jesus. Matthew chapter 12 v 15-21.  Yes! Jesus knew the Gentiles would be invited to share in the new covenant alongside the Jews and the only “law” was for them to love God. Matthew chapter 5 v 17 shows Jesus came to “fulfil” the Mosaic laws and in order to fulfil, he completed them, finished them, they had now been totally fulfilled with his shed blood. He was the sacrificial lamb whose shed blood atoned for the sins of the world. Galatians 3 v 24, also chapter 6 v 2, and especially, Colossians 2 v 14 where it shows Jesus having cancelled the mosaic laws by taking them to his death and ending them. There are many more scriptural references, which show that Christian’s today are not under the old covenant laws but under the new covenant with Jesus. Just like our bibles today; we have an Old Testament and a new one, the old was for the house of Israel under the father as their husbandly owner and the New Testament is through Jesus and his church.

                                 Their second foundation stone is: ~

THEIR TEACHINGS ON 607 BCE, which they say, brings them to 1914 CE the birth of God’s kingdom under Jesus Christ and the end of the Gentile nations.   Again; this is a complicated teaching and a mishmash of different bible accounts, which they adopted, added together to make this man-made prophecy. The recipe being, a “little of this and a little of that” stirred together to produce a teaching which a great many of them today do not even understand. As like all recipes in order to achieve this mishmash concoction all the ingredients must be accurate to start with otherwise you have a flopped mishmash dish, which no one can swallow, which is exactly what this is. So, the first ingredient the date 607 BCE. They say this was the date the king of Babylon; Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the city of Jerusalem and its temple, capturing Zedekiah. True? Or false?  Of course it is false; secular history will tell you Nebuchadnezzar did not become the king until 605 BCE. It was in this year he captured Jerusalem and took some to Babylon including Daniel. In Daniel chapter 2 Daniel confirms this. Again, history confirms it was in Nebuchadnezzar’s 19^th year and Zedekiah’s 11^th year he finally destroyed the city and its temple which put together makes it, 605+ 19 = 586 BCE, for the destruction of Jerusalem.  (2^nd Kings chapter 25 v 8 and chapter 24 v12 confirms it was in Nebuchadnezzar’s  8^th year as king he appointed Zedekiah king in Jerusalem after removing Jehoiachin.) Again, 605+8=597 BCE +11^th year of Zedekiah = 586 BCE. These are the correct ingredients as we can see they all add up together. So, if their first ingredient was not measured correctly and found to be totally false, (607BCE) why continue with the recipe? They cannot make 1914 CE from 586 BCE, which was the true date of the destruction of Jerusalem, its temple and the removal of Zedekiah. But, if we continue with their recipe even though their first ingredient was wrong, they add insult to injury and add in their literature (Insight book 2 page 480) Nebuchadnezzar became the king of Babylon in 624 BCE, (not 605) they also quote it was in his 19^th year he destroyed the city. Lets see, 624+19+605 BCE oops! Wrong again, not 607 BCE. This means ALL their teachings on 1914 CE are totally wrong, false, they are apostate teachings and even their own dates do not add up. As for the end of the Gentile nations, which they say, ended in 1914 CE why are we still under them today? To conclude: – The dream Nebuchadnezzar had in chapter 2 of Daniel shows all the Gentile nations will end when God’s kingdom starts and smashes the feet of those nations. Only one kingdom will be in office at any one time, not a dual kingdom.

                                         The third foundation stone.

IS THEIR NAME “JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES” now how can this be wrong? False? After all, it has been recorded in Exodus 6 v 3 as “Jehovah”. (KJV) This was the name they adopted for themselves in 1931 CE altering their front page of the watchtower from the worshippers under the king Jesus Christ to “Announcing Jehovah’s kingdom” and quoting Isaiah chapter 43 v10 “You are my witnesses says Jehovah.” starting in v 3 he shows, “I am Jehovah your God, the holy one of Israel, your saviour ~ (v10) you are my witnesses says Jehovah and you are my servant (Israel) whom I have chosen” (v11) and “besides me there is no saviour”. (44 v 6) says “thus says Jehovah the king of Israel”. (NWT) It all sounds very easy to follow but what does it actually say? Through the prophet Isaiah God is calling his nation of Israel his witnesses and he is their “king” and there is no other saviour apart from him. This is very straightforward to follow but, these words were addressed to the nation of Israel only and had they continued to be his people, his witnesses, there would have been no need to send Jesus. But, Jesus did come and he became the “new saviour” and formed a new covenant with his people both Jews and Gentiles because the old covenant was only with the Jews not the Gentiles. Also through the prophet Zechariah 9 v 9 Jesus shows in Matthew chapter 21 v 5-11. That he is the king to come to sit upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. The “new king of Israel” replacing his father. Also chapter 23 of Matthew V 37-39 shows the house of Israel will become desolate. This did indeed happened in 70 CE when the Roman soldiers came and destroyed the city and its temple, God had finally had enough of the nation he saved and nurtured and he abandoned them totally washing his hands of them and he handed over the reigns to his son Jesus by giving him the start of his church the apostles, these will be the 12 foundation stones to the church, the temple. John chapter 17 v 6 shows “they were belonging to the father as his witnesses and now he had given them to Jesus to be his witnesses”. (Acts chapter 1 v 6-10) No longer will there be “Jehovah’s witnesses” ever again. Also after asking Jesus the question “are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Which is proof, that kingdom had already been taken away from Israel), He says you will be his witnesses, (Jesus) witnesses of Jesus not his father’s witnesses. The new covenant was now in force between Jesus and his church. So, what happened in 1931 ? When the watchtower society quoted Isaiah 43, and took these words upon themselves they adopted the old name of Israel and the covenant through Moses as the mediator instead of the one through Jesus, and became  “Jehovah’s witnesses” instead of witnesses for Jesus? By doing this, they have blasphemously re-invented themselves as “Israelites” instead of being Gentiles which they are.  A complete betrayal of everything Jesus had done for us, they had abandoned the Christian life for the old life under law and re-established themselves as God’s nation of Israel, establishing themselves once more as the modern day Pharisee’s but, this nation was no more God had abandoned them as unholy, which now makes them a counterfeit nation, what a betrayal of everything Jesus has done for them, giving his life, wiping out their sins on the basis of his shed blood. No wonder this brought God’s wrath upon them. And as for the “bride” of Jesus, the anointed ones at that time, they abandoned Jesus in favour of committing adultery with another saviour, but there is no other saviour than Jesus. To conclude then: – the adoption of the name “Jehovah’s witnesses” in 1931 was the ultimate betrayal of everything Jesus stands for, to abandon him and to call themselves the “Israel of old” as belonging to  the father made the sacrifice of Jesus nil none existent. But, there is another aspect involved here; – that is, assuming it is God’s name in the first place.

Throughout the whole of the Hebrew Scriptures there was never any vowels added to the Tetragramaton (4 letters) no one knew the way to use the name, which was put as YHWH. William Tindale added vowels to YHWH thus “inventing” the name and recording that name in his first bible translation into English in 1526 and from then it was adopted by the “king James version” we have today.  So, again, would this please Almighty God to have this made-up name, fictitious name “Jehovah” not only to represent him, but to call this one “God.” I think not. If the Father wanted us to know and use his personal name he would have told us. We all have a name but if someone called us by another name, we would feel insulted, would we be pleased? Would we answer to it? I think not. So, again the third foundation stone has proved to be false too. The whole foundations of this apostate religion is built upon Satan and his false prophet which we shall cover next in the “allegory” and we shall also learn the fate of the wild beast and the false prophet from God’s viewpoint the bible. 

                           A FINAL ALLEGORY TO FOLLOW
                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                        AN ALLEGORY        

The bible book of the Revelations given to John are made up of an allegory, “symbolic heavenly dramas” which will take place during the “day of our Lord” (Rev 1v10, 11) and it was given to John to write down for the attention of the “church of Christ” the temple class only, as Revelation chapter 1 v 1-6 shows v 6 says “and made us a kingdom, of priests to his God and Father”. (RSV)    Chapters 2 and 3 are the results of his inspection visit to the temple and its worshipers   (Rev 11) as this whole set of dramas take place after the start of the day of our Lord, we can understand more easily the beast of Rev 17 v 10 at this time, is on its sixth head at the beginning of Christ’s inspection and the last ruler is soon to be appointed by Satan.                            

Revelation chapters 13 and 17 show the false prophet (Rev13v11) gets its subjects to build an image to the wild beast, and as the earthly counterpart beast which is the WATCHTOWER SOCIETY what better image can it be other than the WATCHTOWER the original tower of Babel, which is located inside the temple area from where it will be worshipped from January 15^th 2008, and anyone who does not obey and worship this image will be killed, disfellowshipped, it also shows what will happen to the “wild beast, the false prophet and eventually Satan himself”.  The wild beast is the “little horn” from Daniels prophesies chapters 7 and 9 he fits the description of revelation chapter 13 v 1-3.  Satan  gives his power and kingdom to this last ruler over God’s people. (Rev 13 v 2-7)

This last king, last head of the symbolic beast being empowered by Satan will eventually make war upon the holy ones including the angelic sons of God. (Rev 11 and 12 v 7) This “beast” is also described in 2^nd Thessalonians chapter 2 where “he” is seen to be seated in the temple, amongst the anointed ones. 

When the son of man returns in power as king he has promised to cast this evil beast into the eternal fire alongside the false prophet and later to be joined by Satan. Revelations speak of these as “demon princes” of Satan (Rev 19 v 11-14, 16 v 13-15) and they control the earthly counterpart “the watchtower society” who has seven heads as the allegory shows. It will be cast into the fire alive, which means, they will still be up and running at the time of their destruction.  (Rev 19 v 20 also 16 v 12-16) The earthly counterparts are: ~ the wild beast ~ watchtower society, the false prophet ~ the watchtower image who teaches lies against God, which is the original tower of Babel. They will be totally destroyed on the return of Jesus as God’s true appointed king.

As for the harlot which sits astride the wild beast, she depicts all the so-called anointed ones who will not listen to the truth and get saved and who ignored the warning given through the inspection visit by Jesus, they remain loyal to their god, Satan’s antichrist king and none of their names are written down in heaven because she has the mark of the beast. So, what becomes of her? Rev 17 v 16-18 says she will be actually destroyed by the wild beast, the watchtower society.

Which brings us to the number of this wild beast and how they will have its name on their heads?  Rev 13 v 15-18. “666” stands for the trinity of Satan, his demonic antichrist king and the spokesman of Satan, the false prophet they each receive a 6 because they are now short of perfection as heavenly beings, but, it says this number 666 is a human number, which added together make 18.

It is of interest that the ~ “WATCHTOWER SOCIETY” adds up to 18 and again ~ “JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES” also add up to 18 letters, how interesting? Also they will be the only ones to have access to the teachings, food, of the false prophet because they will be the only ones to have the mark of ownership upon their heads. (Rev 13 v 16, 17)                                            ~~~~~~~~
THE WILD BEAST AND IT’S WOMAN, THE HARLOT, PICTURED WITH THE FALSE PROPHET.

                                       
THE FALSE PROPHET IS NOW SET UP IN THE TEMPLE FOR WORSHIP ALONGSIDE THE HARLOT, WITH ITS FALSE PROPHESIES AND TEACHINGS FROM SATAN. THE PARALLEL BEING:- GENESIS CHAPTER 11 V 4 AND REVELATION CHAPTER 13 V 14.

         
tHE HARLOT WILL BE DESTROYED SHORTLY BY THE WILD BEAST, THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY BEFORE THEIR FINAL DESTRUCTION BY THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MAN.
                

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE WILD BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET, THE WATCHTOWER, TOWER OF BABEL.
  

                                                         NEWS BULLETIN 2

 THE ALLEGORY CONTINUES WITH A REVISED

      UP TO DATE VERSION! Revised June 2010

The earthly representative of the angelic wild beast, the governing body with its woman the harlot, Jehovah’s witnesses and the false prophet the study watchtower, will all be destroyed when the son of man returns as king.
The false prophet, which is the study watchtower, is set up now inside the temple of the city of Babylon and everyone not giving it worship will be killed, disfellowshipped. Its teachings are apostate including all the prophecies. (1914).

This drama is a parallel to Genesis chapter 11v4-9 where it says “Come let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves” “and the Lord came down and saw the city and the tower, which the sons of man had built” for worship and our God was not pleased with them so he confused them by giving them different languages so that they stopped building. The city became known as Babylon, taken from the word “Babel” meaning confusion.

The queen of Babylon as portrayed by “Alexander Hislop” in his book “The two Babylon’s” purported to be the mother of Nimrod, the founder of Babel. Also known as “the queen of towers”.

So when the angelic prince of Babylon was given all Satan’s authority and kingdom over the earth, he became the “king of Babylon” (Rev 13v1) As the newly appointed king over the whole earth apart from symbolic Jerusalem, he set out to conquer the city (Rev 6) he killed off the angelic ones sent to teach the kingdom seed (Rev 11) and the Messiah had to return to the father with nothing (Dan 9v26) the restraint (holy spirit) was removed from the city along with the kingdom seed, (FDS) who were removed to a place of safety.

He takes the symbolic city of Jerusalem, now under the angelic antichrist king of Babylon, and makes it his city, the greater Babylon, Babylon the great as it is referred to in the Revelations to John. He takes the inhabitants as his bride, his queen, Jehovah’s witnesses, and gives them a visible image of himself, to represent him in all matters, a governing body, to keep them in line, and they will demand the same worship as the angelic beast. (Rev 13v14, 15)

Now Babylon has been fully restored (Gen 11) and all the different tongues and nations all live together inside the city, they set about building the tower for worship. They finished it ready for worship in January 15^th 2008 and called it “the study watchtower” and all its teachings comes from their own version of their god’s word after they had defaced the original teachings of the bible by twisting and adding words to suit their own teachings and thoughts, making it an apostate book, a counterfeit bible. They have even placed their gods name Jehovah throughout its pages even though God’s original bible did not. 

                                THE MODERN-DAY TOWER OF BABEL.       

The new study watchtower set up in January 15^th 2008 feeds only those living inside the city of Babylon, only those with the mark of ownership of the angelic antichrist king of Babylon will have access to it, namely his bride, the queen of heaven, Jehovah’s witnesses.     

The harlot and the beast will be totally destroyed shortly forever.

                                          
        
THE ABSOLUTE END OF THE EARTHLY BEAST, the governing body HIS BRIDE Jehovah’s witnesses, AND IT’S FALSE PROPHET, The study watchtower.

                         THE TOWER OF BABEL

                        RECOGNISE THIS?   YOU SHOULD AS EVERYONE CARRIES ONE ON THEIR PERSON, SIGNED READY FOR EMERGENCIES.

BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION, YOU ARE APOSTATE AND BLOOD-GUILTY. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING.

 According to Jehovah’s Witnesses, an apostate is someone who leaves the mother teachings of the watchtower society. Their watchtower 15/7/1985, after quoting the bible from 2 John 9,10 says:

                               I quote

“ Those words certainly would have applied to a person who became an apostate by joining a false religion or by spreading false doctrine. (2 Tim 2 : 17-19)”

                                                  End of  quote.

Does that include everyone today who veers from the truth of the watchtower teachings? Yes! you might answer.

I would like to point out their “NO BLOOD POLICY” has been radically changed from their founder’s policy on Acts chapter 15. Their founder being the one who legalised, set up, and established the Watch Tower Society in 1880s, CHARLES  RUSSELL.  Which was then called “Zion’s Watch Tower.

In his article of Sep. 1887 CE. Under the heading: ~ Influence of the law among early Christians. He has plenty to say about the state of the early church members recorded in the book of the actions of the apostles and he had certainly studied those acts well and through the holy spirit just like the apostle Paul

           Quotes from that watchtower: ~ Sep. 1887.

 “In the introduction of the Christian dispensation, the new church was composed largely of proselytes from the old Jewish church: and these, used from childhood to the requirements of the law of Moses, could scarcely realize the greatness of the change which there occurred.  They were continually adding Christ’s teachings and his law – of love, to their mosaic law, thus adding to their already too heavy burden, instead of accepting of the sacrificial death of Christ as the atonement for their sins under the law, and as the end of that law covenant which had always condemned them. Rom. 10: 4:  Even the apostles were slow to learn, and we find Peter so slow to follow the lead of the spirit, that he had to be taught by a special vision that the Gentiles needed no longer to become Jews and conform to the law of Moses before they could share divine favour. ~ Some complained to the other apostles and brethren about Paul’s recognition of gentiles. ~ A great debate and examination of the question on all sides followed, Peter and James finally agreeing with Paul, influenced the entire council. Peter reminded them of God’s wonderful dealing with Cornelius whose heart was purified of justified and made acceptable to God through faith in Christ, and not through keeping the law, and urged, “Now therefore why resist ye God to put a yoke (Moses Law) upon the neck of disciples which neither our father’s nor we were able to bear”. James said “My judgement is that we should not burden them which from among the Gentiles are turned unto God”. ~ That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled and from fornication.” Acts 15 :9-29. And even these things though they were good advice, we shall see by further testimony were so much law that no one had a right to place upon any made free by Christ – nor are these stated as law, with penalties, etc. ~ Paul’s principal failure was in allowing them once to over-persuade him on this very matter of Moses Law. Here overcome for a time by the opinions and weak-ness of those apostles whose home was in the center of Judaism, and whose progress in following the lead of the spirit into the full truth had been less rapid that his own, Paul erred greatly. The difficulty with the apostles at Jerusalem was that in their anxiety to make converts to Christ, they had failed “to declare the whole council of God” and had kept themselves as well as others from growing in grace and knowledge more rapidly, in their desire to fasten the law to the gospel as a bait to catch Jewish fish. And now that Paul was come whom they knew to be very outspoken, they feared he would drive off some of their only half-converted thousands, and that thus the cause might seem to lose some of its prestige.

How often many teaching brethren are tempted now, as were James and his elders at Jerusalem, to keep back part of the truth in the endeavour to swell numbers and influence; how many are tempted as Paul was, to consent to unwholesome advise for the sake of peace, and because of love and respect for brethren. Instead each should have been anxious only to please the “Head of the body”, and to declare the whole counsel of God. ~

The article covers about four full pages in print and it is very discerning. As you will read: ~ Charles Russell certainly did not agree with the abstinence from blood,  which the modern-day witnesses adhere to, in fact he points more to the weak-mindedness of those early church members in Jerusalem  who were trying to hold onto the law of Moses instead of abolishing them in favour of the new covenant under Christ, and he feels very strongly that the apostle Paul, who received holy spirit directly though Jesus, although he was very strong to keep what he had been shown and taught, allowed himself to be badgered by those weak ones. We know later in his travels he condemned all those weak ones who stuck with some of the laws of Moses. Galatians 2 v 11-16, shows the time he chastised Peter for trying to divide the Christians into two parts, Jews and gentiles and it was also in that same book Paul shows it was 14 years after he had been commissioned by Jesus to be an apostle to the nations that he went to Jerusalem to sort out the problem and in all this time he taught the Gentiles without the advise of James on abstaining from blood and they were all blessed and received holy spirit which they would not have done if more was needed.  (2v1-11) He had made many converts to Christianity which was one of the reasons why the Jews were so angry. Which now brings us to our opening question?

 Does the policy on apostasy apply to the leading ones today, the governing body and those prior to them the leading men, presidents, who are dictators to the church of God?  They have all left the true teachings published in the watchtower on this subject in favour of apostasy. They are ALL GUILTY BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY GOD and his son JESUS CHRIST.  How would you feel if you have lost a loved one on the basis of their lies to abstain from blood thinking you were pleasing to God, now to find THEY ARE TOTALLY APOSTATE? WILL YOU LEAVE THEM? TURN TO GOD AND  BEG FOREGIVNESS AND BE CLEANSED, OR WILL YOU CONINUE TO BELIEVE IN THEIR LIES AND DIE AS A RESULT? YOU CANNOT PLEAD IGNORANCE ANY LONGER!  YOU LIFE IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS NOT THE APOSTATES!

I thought it was against the law in this country to euthanasia or suicide, SO how come these people are allowed to practise their religion in this country by not only condoning euthanasia but also condone suicide?

They quote their religious beliefs from the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES chapter 15v28, 29. BUT those instructions are just that, THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. NOT the teachings of Jesus. This bible book speaks of the early days under the apostles, what they did, how they preached, the ACTS of them. 

The question is: ~ Are Christians under those instructions today?  The short answer is NO!  If you study the ACTS of those early ones you will read a completely different picture emerges. Starting in chapter 13 it shows the state of the church in Antioch  (v14) Paul was preaching in the synagogue and he caused quite a stir (v45) The Jews were jealous because everyone was listening to Paul even non Jews,  and the Jews did not want their inheritance going to non Jews instead of just to them so they caused a riot. Paul explains to them that this good news WAS given to the Jews first but they did not want it so it was now being handed out to non-Jews also. (46-51) This shows the Jews driving Paul out of the city. Again in chapter 14 v2 the Jews did not want the Gentiles having the good news too so they caused riots everywhere against the Gentiles. (V4) shows the city to be divided. Paul moved to Lystra and many other cities to preach and while he was there, Jews came up from Antioch stirring up the Jews once more. (v19)  While preaching Paul showed how the church had been opened up to everyone, Gentiles. (27) Chapter 15 now gives a clearer picture of the jealous hatred the Jews had for the Gentiles. 15v1 shows Jews even wanted the Gentiles to observe circumcision according to the laws of Moses.  (v5) even shows  the Pharisees coming in on the dispute.  Verses 6-12  Peter makes his stand for the Gentiles showing they were entitled to the good news because he was sent by the holy spirit to a Gentile called Cornelius to open the way for them and he did not have any conditions handed to him as to salvation due to circumcision or any of the Jewish laws. (Acts 10v1-34)  In fact v 34, 35, shows God was not partial, anyone who accepts him will be acceptable to him. That should have been the end of the matter. After listening to all the evidence James, (this is not the apostle James brother of John because he had already been killed. Acts 12v1&2) makes a statement   pacifying the jealous Jewish brethren in v19, saying “therefore my judgement is” as the laws of Moses are read in all the synagogues throughout the cities maybe we should make a small concession to the Gentiles, make things a little harder for them to become sharers with us.   Note, it was the opinion of James to make a concession to pacify the Jews not because the Gentiles should have any laws placed upon them but the Jews would be pacified by this action. Even though it was Jesus himself who appointed the apostle Paul as an apostle to the nations, the brothers still would not accept this so they sent others with them with the letter to be read. (v22-30) Judas and Silas (Jewish brethren) was sent with Paul because the Jews would not have listened to Paul on account of the Gentiles. The letter in question v23-30 shows it was addressed to all the Gentiles in 3 cities, Antioch, Syria and Cilicia, note only to the Gentiles. V28, 29 add the concessions for which to get saved. BUT as you will read when you read the account properly it only covered those 3 cities where the Jewish population was strong and where they were bitterly jealous of the Gentiles. It was an elaborate plan to calm the situation down. It also stressed “if you keep yourselves free from these things you will do well” certainly no mention of “if you do not do these things you will die?

A few references to check are: ~ 1^st Corinthians 8v10-13, 10v23-30.

To conclude then: ~ The instruction given by the leading men at that time 15v28,29, was given to calm the situation down by the jealous Jews against the Gentiles coming into the Christian church ONLY in those 3 cities and it certainly was Not intended to be taken literally by all Christians today.

To illustrate this; ~ If the congregation in Peterborough had a problem, the governing ones would address the letter to them, it would not involve all congregations.

 Trust Jehovah’s witnesses to get it wrong again. They are guilty of murder due to their brainwashing. My advice to everyone is: ~ check, double check and treble check all their teachings better still, do not open your doors to them.

There has been a wonderful response to my web pages on the “NO BLOOD” policy. So how can the governing body brainwash so many people today.

If we take a look at the root cause of their argument we can reason from there, why the laws were given in the first place and are we as Christians under those laws today? And how can the governing body be so wrong?

The bible book of Leviticus chapter 17 v 1-14. commanded the Israelite’s not to eat the meat with the blood in tact because the blood of the animal represents the life of the animal  and the priests must sprinkle it upon the altar as sacrifice to atone for the sins of Israel and unless the blood is poured out, no forgiveness of sins takes place. But, please note, the laws were only given to the sons of Jacob, whose name was changed by God to Israel. God chose this nation to be his people on the earth and they accepted him as their God by accepting the laws of him through Moses.

Later when Jesus came to the earth, he came as the lamb of God and through his shed blood he atoned for the whole world to get forgiveness of sins through his ransom sacrifice. Although he was only sent to the house of Israel as the first fruits, because of their rejection it was opened up to the whole world of Gentiles too. But the laws of Moses were fulfilled in the shed blood of Jesus and the bible says he fulfilled all the laws. Col 2 v 14.  Also Matthew chapter 5 v 17. Jesus now forms a “new covenant” with both Israel and Gentiles, who now become “Christians”  not the old nation under God but the new nation under Jesus. Everyone now comes under the teachings of Jesus as the “new Moses”. God handed over the nation of Israel to the Romans for total destruction because of their unfaithfulness in 70 CE. They no longer exist as his chosen people anymore. So all the laws under Moses died out with them as a nation.  The bible book of Hebrews chapter 8 v 8-13 shows the “new covenant” was needed because they did not keep the covenant with him.

Under this new covenant the temple is to be built upon the 12 apostles who are the 12 foundation stones. (Ephesians chapter 2v 20)  They were all warned by Jesus that when he died people will try to put wrong thoughts and teachings of demons and they were to be on guard. They knew all the laws of Moses so they were familiar with Deuteronomy chapter 19 v 15  where it states “where two or three witnesses agree on a matter let it stand”. Here we have the apostle Peter explaining to them that he had been sent to a Gentile in order to baptise him through the holy spirit on the direction of God, and too, we have the testimony of the apostle Paul who stated he had been commissioned by Jesus as an apostle to the nations, to give them the good new about Jesus.  A new covenant under Christ and through his shed blood. Romans chapter 7 v 4-6. also 2^nd Corinthians chapter 3 v 14-17. That should have been enough evidence to prove beyond any doubt these new ones now serving God were not under the laws of Moses but under the laws and teachings of Jesus.

But, the Jews were unhappy about this because they had been the chosen nation all this time, now, the Gentiles are being invited to share in this wonderful news, so yes, they were unhappy. They wanted the Gentiles to become circumcised too, but the apostles knew that to be wrong, so they allowed themselves to be compromised by the “opinion” of James instead of standing up for the truth and telling the Jewish brethren they were wrong. This happened at a later time also but this time the apostle Paul would NOT let the apostle Peter be compromised by weak ones of the faith. Galatians chapter 2 v 11-21. When they were both in Antioch.

To conclude then. There is no biblical evidence whatsoever to substantiate the claims of the “GOVERNING BODY OF THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY” the statement in Acts chapter 15 v 28,29. is for all Christians today to abstain from blood. Where in the bible does Jesus teach this?  HE DOES NOT. BUT, in answer to a question put to him, “which is the greatest commandment in the law”? he says : ~ “You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments depend ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS”.  The ones putting this question to Jesus were the very ones under the laws of Moses yet Jesus did not mention the abstaining from blood but to love God and these two commandments, the laws fulfilled. Jesus was saying forget all the laws under Moses just love God from the heart.

IT IS NOW ABOUT TIME FOR THE GOVERNING BODY TO OPT OUT OF THEIR BRAINWASHING AND LET PEOPLE SERVE GOD IN LOVE.

                             THE   BIBLE   Vs 

       THE   WATCHTOWER   SOCIETY! 

            I   CHALLENGE   THEM  

      THE   DATE   OF   607 BCE.

               THEY   TEACH !  !  

 In their “Insight book 2” page 480 it says ~ Nebuchadnezzar became the king of Babylon in 624 BC, it also says it was in his 19^th year when he destroyed the city of Jerusalem and its temple, removing Zedekiah, (2^nd kings 25v8) Let’s see ~ 624~19^th year later is 605 BC, BUT the book definitely says it was 607 BC. This does not add up!!   It also says on the same page Nebuchadnezzar entered Jerusalem in his 4^th year of office as king, making that 620 BC and again in 617 BC, 3 years later to remove Jehoiakim and replaced him with Jehoiachin, then later to Zedekiah after only 3 months. Finally he returned in 607 BC to remove Zedekiah, destroy the temple and the city. Let’s see ~ Firstly ~ they say it was in his 4^th year he entered Jerusalem BUT the bible says it was in his 1^st year he entered the city. (Dan 1v1 + 2v1 shows Daniel was in Babylon in his 2^nd year after being taken there  by Nebuchadnezzar) This does not add up!! The book says Nebuchadnezzar returned in 617 and replaced Jehoiakim with his son, Jehoiachin who reigned for 3 months then replaced him with Zedekiah, BUT, again, does this add up!  The bible book of 2^nd Chronicles 36v5 shows Jehoiakim reigned for 11 years in Jerusalem and he reigned for 3 years before the siege by Nebuchadnezzar leaving 8 years still to reign, so if the city was captured in 620BC, then 8 years later would be 612 BC. This does not add up!!  Again, Zedekiah was in his 11^th year when the city was destroyed and this was also Nebuchadnezzar’s 19^th year of becoming the king of Babylon. (2^nd kings 25v1,2,8) Let’s see!! If Zedekiah was made king in 617 BC his 11^th year would be 606 BC and the 19^th year of Nebuchadnezzar from 624 BC would be 604 BC. This does not add up yet again!!                                       NOT   ONE   OF    THEIR   DATES   FIT!! 

Let us now take a look at secular world history as to the date of the destruction of Jerusalem and the removal of king Zedekiah. History records the destruction, as taking place in 586 BC and Nebuchadnezzar becoming the king of Babylon in 605 BC, making it his 19^th year as king, just as the bible says.  Also, if he took the city in 605 BC, and Jehoiakim was on the throne (Dan 1v1, 2, +2v1) and had another 8 years to reign before his removal replacing him with his son for 3 months then later replaced him with Zedekiah who was to reign for 11 years, (2^ND Chronicles 36 v 5, 11)  if we add these dates together they really do fit the dates provided by secular history and the bible accounts. 8 years + 11 years  = 19 years. NOW   THESE   DATES   REALLY   DO   ADD   UP!!  

Additional proof is recorded in these references.

WHYCLIFFE BIBLE COMMENTARIES                     ~ 586 BC.        JESUS  SAYS “WHERE TWO OR THREE WITNESSES AGREE ON A MATTER, LET IT BE HEARD” HERE, THERE ARE MANY WHO AGREE WITH THE DATE OF 586 BC.

 It proves beyond any doubt the watchtower society are totally wrong in their chronology and this date 607 BC, is totally false as to the date of the destruction of Jerusalem and the removal of Zedekiah. This being so; all other relevant dates associated with this date is also totally false, this includes all man-made prophecies relating to 1914 CE. In fact it reminds us of the prophecy in Daniel 7 v 25, where it shows the last ruler over God’s people will try to change “times and laws” of God.

WAKE   UP!!   ALL   YOU   LOVERS   OF   TRUTH!   BE   GUIDED   BY   JESUS   CHRIST   AND   NOT   BY   THE   APOSTATE   PHARISEES   INSIDE   SPIRITUAL    JERUSALEM,    JESUS   IS   OPENING   YOUR   EYES  TO THE    DISGUSTING   THING   STANDING   WHERE   IT   SHOULD   NOT   BE. (Matt 24 v 15) 

LISTEN TO HIM NOW AND GET OUT, DISSASOCIATE YOURSELVES FROM THE UNCLEAN THING AND HE WILL TAKE YOU IN.
