I’ve been binging you for about a month now. Woke up a few months ago and learning all this is great. I use a lot of what you say for research to build my mental armory up for when I finally do leave. Thank you so much and thanks for your work. It is much appreciated
"Fading" was easiest for me. But you may be in a situation where fading isn't possible. Are you planning to write a letter?
@@thinknblue2295 I believe in you ! U can do it and once you have youll be so glad you did❤️
Yes very good topic, thats why Rutherford in his day was a drunk like they are today, Him then and them the GB today, Dealing with dishonesty and lies, by drinking in saying they are in direct comunication with God a lie can only last for so long before it gets revealed. Thank you Eric
Excellent Eric. I’m beginning to understand more and more with these videos. My sincere sorrow is for the GB. They have lost all sense in their teaching and harming so many honest hearted Christians. They have not listened not to go beyond what is written, but decided to do their own writing. Wow, to think that they will get away with that is beyond me. I often think what does Christ and Jehovah think on all of this? I am so fortunate that I am no longer in an organization that have led millions astray. Thank you Eric for all your wonderful work. 😊❤
@ludmillasomp4723 • Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts. It truly is sad to see how the GB has gone astray. They will be judged. The Bible makes it very clear that what we reap what we sow.
Who you're really should feel sorry for is the people who have been misled by them since they are taught to disobey the Bible and ruin their relationship that they could have with their father Jehovah in that sense they are like the Pharisees oh Jesus day when the Bible says that he felt sorry for the crowd when they were sheep as without Shepherd thrown about and abused and we know the outcome of that it is a very bad thing to be in that position where are you intentionally ruin a person's relationship with Jehovah it is not where you want to be
@@guyplacencio9454 while I agree with most of what you say; I cannot help but to point out that God knows "whom, belongs" to Him. If we believe in the sacrifice of Jesus' shed blood on our behalf and His resurrection from the dead; then no matter what, we will not loose our Salvation. We might "struggle with" faith, because of this dangerous religion and it's horrid influence; however, as in my own personal experience, God saved me, anyway. He waited patiently for me to ask Him into my heart (He stood knocking at the door of my heart and I accepted His gift and invited Him in). Scriptures speak to this! It is He who knows us, better than we think!! His Salvation is for ALL of us. He will not let us go, if we "belong to Him"!
@@guyplacencio9454
I'm with you on this one, guy.
At Matthew 23:32-36, Jesus says,
"32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers. 33 You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
34 Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation."
@@guyplacencio9454one feel sorrow for them yes but Jehovah is merciful just like Jesus was merciful with the people who the religious leaders of His time on earth led people astray. We must remember salvation is individual, so if their happy inside one must respect free will.
I remember long chats with different brothers and sisters in service groups about the "1000" year reign and the new system. Only because I was indoctrinated from childhood with the "core" concept of the Witness idea of the "new system" and resurrections did I accept it; but the Witness theology never coalesced as a clear idea. There were contradictory or nonsensical ideas one can only accept if kept in isolation and trained not to think. Even in my own reading of the Bible as a PIMI, I caught the society either being wrong or "confusing." We were trained to ignore the problems and "wait on new light" or accept that "we will find out when we get there" and to focus on surviving. It makes me sad still to think of. Even before I left. There were so many people that were talking about how they were just hanging on, just hanging on because it's just around the corner.
@exjwbiblebites2883 • You put that all so well. Yes, being forced to accept contradictory and nonsensical ideas go hand in hand with tactics to keep people from exercising their God-given ability to think critically. It is so sad, as you say, so heart breaking to see people who are victims hanging on to what shred of sanity they have left. We must pray for them to wake up before it is too late.
I remember a circuit assembly where they warned from the platform to stop saying “I’m hanging in there” when people ask how we are doing. We need to always respond that we are doing great! Just hanging in there isn’t good enough and could stumble someone into thinking our grip is temporary. I was a young kid and thought that sounded completely crazy
@@ChrisPyle lol I remember something similar but it was instead of saying "take it easy" we should say "exert yourself vigorously!"
@@ChrisPyle I also remember something like that being said. I recall hearing from the platform, perhaps it was an illustrative part of a talk, to say I’m holding on tight rather than I’m hanging on. Hanging on sounds very weak like you’re going to let go any second, so you want to express it the opposite, I need to say hold on tight or I’m holding on tight. Meaning, we have a firm grip on the so-called. TRUTH.
@@cygnustsp you’re right!
I loved how you said that "(The Org) uses the power of indoctrination, which turns off critical thinking processes." Wow this was heart opening ❤️. Thank you for putting this beautiful understanding together so even a five year old could understand. 🙏
Thank you so much!
@sfboo007- thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am so glad you found this "heart opening."
hank you, Eric,. The work you are doing is helping so many of us. I have only just found the courage to comment. Thank you very much.
Very nicely and clearly explained. I never have thought about this subject. Amazing how we have read these scriptures and missed those points. It is unbelievable how they can teach that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be resurrected to earth and only have their names in *pencil* in the book of life. Yet Morris, Jackson, Lett, and co will get immortality before Armageddon. Outrageous.
the teachings of Christ are some of the most profound, ethical, moral, beautiful words ever spoken. when i really read them and listened i realized these men who run watchtower are in absolutely no way shape or form who they claim to be......
@greatoutdoorsgear7538 -- wise words and thank you so much for them.
@@Goonapachamoothoo as long as you can scripturally prove all the teachings then i guess your good.
Thank you brother. Please Pray for my mother and father who are still holding onto these false teachings as well as all of my siblings who have left belief all together because of it
HALLELUYAH! For this revelation may all witnesses watching this broadcast. Ask YAH to remove mans'(governing body) doctrine from their mind
Must have,,as the Book Enjoy life for ever has only got 1 male ,standing at the Start of the crooked Path, Blocking the Way so nobody else, can be stupid enough to get on there ,all the best for your journey, everyone ,Biggest thanks to Eric 4helping us 2 stay on the Norrow Road without GB Control TRUE STORY 🐐🐐🐐...Wassa Jdud...
HalleluYah
Wouldn't this mean that the Elders of the organization also do not have God`s holy spirit? I can remember going door to door, inviting people to attend a very special meeting held only once a year, then we`d all set through a talk explaining why we weren't qualified to do anything more then to look, to refuse when the wine and bread came by.
And we did.
I thought I was doing God`s will.
@clintfitzpatrick266 -- We see now the power of indoctrination. Let us never fall under that spell again. If we sincerely ask our Heavenly Father for truth and wisdom we will receive it. We will help each other never to fall prey to the doctrines of men.
Br Wilson and the congregation literally saved my life and I will be forever thankful! I have truly entered a new life. Can barely comprehend the darkness JW had me in despite my resistance all these years!
Thank you for you kind words, my brother.
So very very well done.
Goodness! Only 8 minutes in and I'm jumping up and down in my seat! I'm so glad you're calm, cool and collected in the dispensing of this information - so much more gets covered that way.
@saracarlson-kringle8042 • Your comment is so stirring, thank you for sharing your heart and kind encouragement.
@@BeroeanPickets I'm sure you will take this comment as a compliment, and you will find well deserved comfort, but you remind me so much of the wicked demons and their leader Satan, Satan and his demons are constantly attacking Jehovah's organization utilizing evil people like yourself, the constant attack is on a regular basis, your life revolves around attack, attack, and attack, and in hopes of total destruction of this organization. You forget that one day, we will no longer exist due to Disease, unforeseen accidents, and or old age. And you will be history in Gods eyes and everyone else, what we sow right now, is what we reap later, eternal death. but yet you never attack Catholics, Baptists, Buddha's, Pentecostals, etc, how ironic that is, only JW's amazing, I wonder why JW's are always the target?? What a waste, of a shortened life, you live. Your constant mocking, hatred, and Sarcasm will never give you happiness. Remember we are only flesh and bone and we don't last forever. When we are gone, we will never come back to life for all eternity, Amen.

your videos are good for us coming out of the JW organization. Thanks for al your good honest work.
@fixingmyfaith -- Thank you so much and I am glad you are enjoying the videos.
Thank you, brother Eric. Great understanding. "Real spiritual food". Please continue. Many blessings from Jehovah and Christ. Amador, Kingdom Christian from sunny Puerto Rico.
🔥🔥 Thanks Eric
This definitely is an excellent video you made for us all to learn from, Eric. I truly appreciate it because it’s a subject I’m trying to understand more clearly. I did read those two watchtower study articles they had about the resurrection two weeks ago just to see what they’re teaching now. And of course, it raises many questions, and I wonder how the rank-and-file don’t realize the discrepancies and the nonsense being taught. Anyway, I really appreciate the points you brought out from the Scriptures in first Peter chapter 1 concerning the faithful man of old. So I looked up in my New World translation reference Bible of 1984. In verse 11 they do have a footnote after it says, (what sort of season the spirit in them was indicating concerning the Christ.). The footnote says, “Or, the spirit of Christ, which was in them indicated.”
So their own Bible shows that they miss translated it. Just terrible how they go to these lengths to miss lead us.
I’m looking forward to your next video where you bring out other verses that they have done this type deliberate misinterpretation
Yes, Matthew 11:12 is a shockingly bad mistranslation. Hard to think it was accidental given the ramifications.
@carolwrinkles6204- It shows how strong indoctrination can be that the rank and file doesn't realize the discrepancies and the nonsense, as you say, being taught. Perhaps this video will help some beginning to wake up to falsehoods. Thank you for your encouragement!
May the Lord bless you abundantly!!!
Amazing talk my brother in Christ! Thank you for all your hard work in exposing The Watchtower’s false teachings. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@thelightgetsbrighterexjw3084 - I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Good job my brother you hit the nail right on the head with this video,never look at it in this way, talking about Ancient Jews, looking forward to part two.proverbs 27:17
Thanks for your excellent work exposing the real exegetical meaning on the bible! keep up your hard work! I'm so regretful for have being delegating my hope and faith into those auto proclaimed "Jesus's brothers", believing every word coming out from their apostate mouths...
Love your work Eric, you can't argue against truth. God bless
@manases79 -- thank you so much for your encouragement.
Many Blessings Eric Strong Mind Critical Thinker
I don’t want to go to heaven. I want to live forever on earth
Two things to consider. 1) The Bible doesn't say that the hope of the anointed is to go to heaven. 2) The pot doesn't tell the potter how to mold it.
@@ProselyteofYah Excellent points!
Én is...
Always on point Eric. Many things are coming to the light. I had many discussions with the brothers about that.
The light has always been there. Glad you see more clearly now.
Yes of course the light is always been there. What meant was that people are slowly seeing how years of neglect throughout indoctrination is bringing down the pillars of the watchtower, Samson brought down the philistean temple
@edelcarvajal6555 -- Thank you for your kind thought!
Thank you Eric so much for this !
Thanks,Eric
Excellent video!
Thank you Eric.
@loriwhalen2321-- thank you so much.
Thank you areal gem of truth.
@katb945 - Thank you so much for your encouragement.
I need to listen to this few more times and note the scriptures down
Got your book. Found it very informative. Thanks for explaining. Have you heard of “30 years a Watchtower slave” by Willam J. Schnell. Never knew there were so many classes of people.
Just when I think you can't possibly outdo yourself with your next video you always do:-) Your new book is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. Thank you Eric for your constant encouragement and inspiration! It's much appreciated.
I'm so pleased you're enjoying the book. I'm now working on an audio version.
@@BeroeanPickets I love it. I devoured it within the first couple of days upon receipt of it. The audio version will be wonderful too:-) You are the #1 reason I was able to stay afloat after waking up! Without you I don't know what I would have done. You've been a lifesaver to many!
@@dissidentfairy4264 When I started making videos I just wanted to help people find the truth. I had no idea the profound effect they would have on the lives of others. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity the Lord has provided to me. Thank you so much for your kind words.
I'm new to this channel what's the name of the book???
@@Nathaly0886 I'm so glad that you found Eric's channel. If you are an ex-JW who is still a believer you will find this channel invaluable. It will help you get through the devastation of leaving the organization. Even if you have never been a JW the book is full of wisdom and insight. It's called Shutting The Door to the Kingdom Of God How Watch Tower Stole Salvation from Jehovah's Witnesses. It's by Eric Michael Wilson and it's available on Amazon in both hardcover or paperback. I highly recommend it.
Can we explain the word of God even better! Thank you Eric. The word of God is so simple, so clear and so limpid, that we can only say: Amen, come Jesus, we look forward to inheriting the kingdom that has been prepared for us since the foundation of the world ( Matt 25:34). Now I look forward to the explanation of Matthew 11:11, of which I asked you for the explanation, which is the last lock that must jump out of my head. God bless you
Thank you. That video on Matthew 11:11, 12 will be published in the next few days.
@@BeroeanPickets Your announced clarification of the actual wording according to Matthew 11:11 will bring the breakthrough to substantiate your theological conviction beyond doubt. We are already looking forward to your further video contribution. Your reference to the distorted or misleading translation version of the organization was also extremely helpful to us.
Your contribution to this fundamental question is extremely valuable. What the Watchtower Society intentionally negates is the fact that chapters 10 and 11 of Hebrews deal with the true implications of justification by faith. By what right can the organization withhold from the faithful prophets of pre-Christian times the blessings that God assured all His true worshippers? Why did Paul include this unequivocal message in his letter if he did not want to convey this basic truth to his readers in this way?
"Cherry Picking" How well Eric's comment sums up the whole JW religion!👍👍
Systemic, cultural manipulation by Watchtower org. of the most important hope for mankind!! Beginning to understand how the teaching became so embedded. Thanks for your work.
I spell our Creator name wrong. It's actually " Yahuah" and his Son name is " Yahshua" the Messiah. You can find the truth from the Cepher. Which Amazon now carries it. You can also use the Jewish Bible. Take Care everyone Shalom ❤️
The son is Yahusha. It’s hard to get it right. This is a tough one! ♥️
Great Job Eric Enjoy the Holiday Season
I have a question if you don’t mind. Do you think that the Watchtower will fall sooner than later?
@spartan_warrior5927 • From what I hear it is falling everyday. The meeting attendance is becoming less and less.
This video made me recall Enoch's situation. Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:24 NIV. I highly doubt that God took him means that he just died and is waiting for a resurrection to earth. I truly feel that this is an example of Jehovah taking Enoch away from the Earth to be with him in Heaven.
@jamieward7407 -- Yes we must believe in the character of God to save us, and he does and he will. Of course we must also remember that John wrote that "No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came down from heaven-the Son of Man." That scripture would not agree that Jehovah took Enoch away from the earth to be with him in "heaven". Looking at the Interlinear for Genesis 5:24, there is no word for "heaven" given there. So God took him away, but we cannot say that means to heaven, the spiritual heavens. Also, if we look at the word heaven in Strong's Concordance we can see that it means different things: heaven, (a) the visible heavens: the atmosphere, the sky, the starry heavens, (b) the spiritual heavens.
Thank you Eric and I can’t wait for part 2. As for WT doctrine, can we say the Prophet Elisha didn’t have God’s Holy Spirit when he resurrected the son of the Widow of Shunem?
Excellent point.
Excellent scriptures you are using, if I may say so. Luke 13 says it all! Christ words himself
Absolutely!
At Numbers 11:23-30 it says that God took away some spirit from Moses and placed “Him” (the spirit) on the seventy elders and they prophesied.
When Joshua saw this he complained to Moses about it telling Moses to make them stop. Moses then said to Joshua, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
This told me two things:
1. God was giving Holy Spirit to people from the beginning.
2. God gives a person the amount of Holy Spirit they need to complete the task He gives them. (Only when Moses became overwhelmed by the burden of the people did God share the spirit among the 70 elders) Notice God didn’t give more Holy Spirit, He shared the Holy Spirit that Moses already had.
hello. I'm a fellow activist
@fixing my faith
helped
Yes, mathew, Peter and Paul explain well that Jehovah hasn’t excluded the prophets and faithful ones of old
When I read Isaiah 59:20-21, it mention about what God will do with those in the new covenant that he was going to make, and it said He will bestow his Spirit on their descendants descendants, which was quoted by Paul in Romans 11:26 who was grieving over the natural jews by blood.
In all mention of the new covenant He never gave a limited number
Look at Jeremiah 31:34,
That they will know him from the least to the greatest.
❤thenk you brother Erik Gad Jehova and Jesus Blas yo I and as ❤
brilliant
But as splane said “ we can’t go beyond scripture “. Then why do they?
I really enjoy listening to your explanations, sometimes I have a difficult time agreeing,
But I do realize that most of what you are saying has a scriptural backing.
Many times I listen the same broadcasting, (if we can call it a broadcasting )
2 or 3 times to have a grasp of the message, only because I don't want to have any misunderstanding.
I really love your zeal , and your sincerity.
I pray that God will give you the holy spirit necessary to have a clear understanding of the scriptures.
I would love if more of the JW will have the opportunity to see how deceiving the WT organization has been for many years
Keep up the good work and may Jehovah bless you and all the ones that want to serve in spirit and truth through our Lord and King Jesus
Thanks again for your efforts
Thank you, Free Thinker.
Thank you
Welcome!
It is so sad that for years I was indoctrinated but I have the desire to please God and I ask him every day to guide me because he sees my heart and knows that my heart loves him.
Where does it say in the Bible that our names will be pencilled in? That’s ridiculous
Hebrews 2, abbreviated as HB2. Tee Hee.
Written in pencil?
One of the many absurd teachings of the organization
@radiomanze1296 • Yes, so true, very absurd!
Ain't it though !? 🤨🤦
When you stare to closely at the Mona Lisa you're not going to see the Mona Lisa. I hope when he steps back and looks at all the kingdom promises outlined in the Bible, the ones concerning heaven and the ones concerning Earth, the picture doesn't look like a Salvador Dali painting.
When I stare closely at the Mona Lisa, I still see the Mona Lisa. Perhaps if you are on some kind of exotic medication, you might see a Salvador Dali painting.
They don’t consider the 24 elders in revelation as being literal, but they say it’s a symbolic number of the 144000 and this 144000 is literal, but in revelation 19? It mentions 24 elders AND 144000 standing before the throne together?
How can one prove that the number of 144000 is literal or symbolic?
Shocking!
Excellent video brother, yes, the nation of Israel already were looking forward to the prophet that God told Moses he would send with his word. He is to sit on the David’s throne with his God and they both would rule. They looked forward to the New Jerusalem. The governing body of JW’s overlook the fact that the gentiles are grafted onto the main olive tree and onto their hope. There is only one hope, not two or three hopes.
Personally, I'm an atheist now. But I really appreciate your more coherent thoughts on theology that's adjacent to theirs. Early fuel for my deconversion was realizing JW doctrine was a real stretch in a lot of areas with strange readings and translation. Sometimes in service of positions that had no reason to exist. (Like the exact form of the wood Jesus was nailed to) And at other times seeming to assemble Doctrine from scattered verses that are so important it is baffling that it wasn't stated plainly somewhere.
Would you do a talk on the tower of the sadducee's please? I dreamt about it last night but don't get what God wants me to know
The witnesses could argue that the Israelites were made into kings and priest and a holy nation on earth. King David and many were appointed as priest, the levites.
I reached that understanding 30 years ago. Nice to see you,Eric, inform others about it. One kingdom and one hope doesn’t preclude an administrative (kings and priests) arm and a subject (member) body. Law foreshowed an priestly and kingly class. Not everyone gets that role while both obtain the kingdom. We differ on that alone. I hope gain that insight and not get blinded by the need to prove WT wrong throwing out the baby in the bath water.
@jennyeyesxfirepioneer6934 - You write that "Not everyone gets that role while both obtain the kingdom." Can you please explain what you mean by using Scriptures to support your idea? I would be interested in your insight.
W66 2/15 page 110 says: The old covenant missed its purpose, the producing of a “kingdom of priests.” Would the new covenant also? No! For the “blood of the covenant” is better than the animal blood that Moses sprinkled on the Law book and the Israelites. There is also a better mediator, one who does not die as Moses did.
How did the old covenant miss its purpose as GB state? They were made into a nation of priest, the Levites. The heavenly kingdom of priest would still be open to those who obeyed the law of Moses. That’s why there was a remnant of Jews who survived the destruction of Jerusalem. The prophets were faithful and Noah etc.
I imagine that if the pre Christian men and women were to get an earthly hope of resurrection then Jehovah would have revealed to them during their time that they would be resurrected back onto a perfect earth. That would have been easy for Jehovah to reveal to his prophets.
Indeed, it would have been easy, but they looked to a better resurrection, something the organization didn't want us to think about.
What is the point of being righteous? My answer would be, doing the right thing even when no one is looking, gives you a clean conscience, that you are doing right by everyone. I am not dead , but it sure makes me feel good about myself.
Another thing, I have lost many family members over the centuries, they never had the opportunity to learn about Jehovah's purpose for mankind, this are the unrighteous people that have died, whether they know it or not they get a chance to learn about God's righteous standards that can be apply it to their daily lives. Jehovah God is a God of Justice, wisdom, power but most of all he is Love, and giving people of all nationalities a chance to learn about Jehovah's purpose for mankind to live in a righteous world, you do know that people can change, and that is very loving in God's part. Who wouldn't want to live in a paradise earth, with righteousness people, and as for the righteous that died, will be resurrected to everlasting life, they have inherit the earth, what a marvelous gift from God to give to the righteous ones. Amen!
I'm not a JW, but I believe there are 2 "hopes," one for Heaven and one for Earth. One group is held to a higher standard, as they will be "kings & priests," while the other group will be those they lead and teach. I realize the Scriptures are confusing though, so I'm holding myself to the highest standard, even though I want to live a simple life on a Paradise Earth. I'm leaving it in Jehovah and Jesus' hands for clarification. I believe Jesus will soon return "like a thief" to minister to his disciples, who will be tasked with educating those who "grab ahold of the robe of a Jew." I want to be ready if I'm called to serve in Heaven, but as I said, I don't want this responsibility. I'm fine with my conjecture being wrong, because most of this is conjecture. The fact is, the Bible has been altered and mistranslated over the past 2,000 years, making it impossible to know exactly what the writers meant 100%. No group has a perfect grasp on the Scriptures, so we need to wait on Jehovah and Jesus.
Thanks for your videos.
You might as well become a Jehovah's Witnesses
Wow! You sure you are not a JW? You are probably a student of JWs or might have JW relatives then. What you describe is what they teach.
I was a JW for almost 10 years until the Lord answered a silent prayer during a JW meeting back in July of 2015. The Lord then opened my eyes to so much that my husband and I decided to leave the organization December of that same year. Praise Yah!!!
The dead giveaway is "so we need to wait on Jehovah ... ". 😄
@@lulubellers So only JWs wait on God to answer unanswerable questions then? The fact is, the Bible has been altered/mistranslated and misused... leading to what, 50,000 denominations of Christianity? That's a lot of sects, all believing they have it right and everyone else has it wrong. So yes, I'll wait on Jehovah for the Truth! I follow no man, only Jehovah and Jesus.
@@aliciasargent8660 I did study with them, which helped me put some important pieces of the Truth together, but I left when I saw the cracks in the WT's many lies. I don't throw the baby out with the bathwater though; I accept truth wherever I see it. The JWs have some answers, but many false doctrines meant to protect their lies. It's a cult now sadly, but there are lot of good people stuck inside who need our love and not our scorn. Don't give up on them, many are waking up.
Dear Brother Wilson: Think about this Scripture: “Now if I have preached the good news, that is no reason for me to boast, for a necessity has been laid upon me. Yes, woe is me if I do not preach the good news."
We love God for what HE has done for us through HIS Son.
Think about the following other Bible passage and the spiritual message that could be behind it: ,,....You made them equal to us....'' They all got a denarius no matter how much work they had done.
God intends to save all people and I believe that HE can do that too.
What are my motives for serving God? Is it to be saved or because God first loved us and gave his Son for us all??
You forget something in your zeal, which is that we all, whether believers or non-believers, do not deserve life. Second, the Lord Yehoshua Ha'mashiach "Jesus Christ" died for the sins of the whole world. And third, unbelief is not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, at least not in that one aspect alone.
Just as we, as full-time workers, should see that our Lord ''Jesus Christ'' is righteous even when paying everyone a denarius, even those who ministered for only an hour, so should we rejoice in their lives in the Book of Life as well stand, even if they should have doubted and quarreled much more than we ourselves.
God's blessings and peace to you all and please think about it!!
Lieber Bruder Wilson: Mal darüber nachgedacht über folgende Bibelstelle: ,,Wenn ich nun die gute Botschaft gepredigt habe, ist das kein Grund für mich zum Rühmen, denn eine Notwendigkeit ist mir auferlegt worde. Ja, wehe mir wenn ich die gute Botschaft nicht predigte.''
Wir lieben Gott für das was ER durch SEINEN Sohn für uns getan hat.
Denk mal über folgende andere Bibelstelle und deren geistige Botschaft die dahinter stecken könnte nach: ,,....Du hast sie uns gleichgestellt....'' Sie bekamen alle einen Denar egal wieviel Leistung diese erbracht hatten.
Gott hat vor alle Menschen zu retten und ich glaube, dass ER das auch zu tun vollbringen kann.
Mit welchen Beweggründen diene ich Gott? Ist es um gerettet zu werden oder weil Gott uns zuerst geliebt und seinen Sohn für uns alle dahingegeben hat??
Du vergisst etwas in deinem Eifer, nämlich, dass wir alle, ob Gläubige oder Nichgläubige das Leben nicht verdient haben. Zweitens starb der Herr Jehoschua Ha'maschiach ,,Jesus Christus'' für die Sünden der ganzen Welt. Und drittens ist Unglaube nicht die Lästerung gegen den Heiligen Geist zumindest nicht dieser eine Aspekt allein.
So wie wir als Ganztagsarbeiter sehen sollten, dass unser Herr ,,Jesus Christus'' Gerecht ist, auch wenn er jedem einen Denar ausbezahlt, auch denen die nur eine Stunde dienten, so sollten wir uns über die Freuen deren Leben auch im Buch des Lebens stehen, selbst wenn diese viel mehr gezweifelt und gehadert haben sollten als wir selbst.
Gottes Segen und Frieden Euch allen und bitte denkt darüber nach!!
Greetings from Gernany!
When so many go to heaven. What will be left there? Who lives then still on earth, as it was originally God's plan. I already assumed that relatively few go to heaven for the purpose of co-regents. That Daniel and Co. would live on the earth is rather consistent. After all, this is God's intention!
If you take all the faithful people of preChristian times and all the faithful Christians, you'd have more than 144,000, but you'd still have a small number in comparison with the Billions who have lived and live now. How are those billions going to be restored to perfection as sinless humans living on earth and part of God's universal family? That is the work of the anointed children of God.
LET'S MAKE IT SIMPLE .
REVELATION 6:12-17 , " 12.And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
REVELATION 6:12-17 IS THE SAME TIMELINE AS MATTHEW 24:29-30 .
MATTHEW 24:29-30 , " 29.Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30.And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION , THE GATHERING OF THE SAINTS ; WHO ARE 144,000 ISRAEITES ; THE ONLY NATION UNDER THE LAWS OF THE FATHER .
THE APOSTLE PAUL MADE REFERENCE TO THIS IN ROMANS 8:22-23 , " 22.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
THE WHOLE CREATION IN VERSE 22 , WOULD INCLUDE ALL NATIONS IN THE FATHER'S KINGDOM .
AND NOT ONLY THEY BUT OURSELVES ALSO , WHICH HAVE THE FIRSTFRUITS IN VERSE 23 ; THESE ARE THE SAINTS , WHO WILL REIGN AND JUDGE WITH JESUS CHRIST FOR 1000 YEARS AT HIS KINGDOM .

4.For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5.Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6.Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7.To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8.To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9.To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

REVELATION 7:1-4 " 1.And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

2.And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3.And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4.These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

16For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God .
( REVELATION 21:1-5 )
SHALOM !
This is the organizations answer: Why, though, are anointed Christians represented by Moses and Elijah? The reason is that such Christians, while still in the flesh, do a work similar to that performed by Moses and Elijah. For example, they serve as Jehovah’s witnesses, even in the face of persecution. (Isaiah 43:10; Acts 8:1-8; Revelation 11:2-12) Like Moses and Elijah, they courageously expose false religion while exhorting sincere people to give God exclusive devotion. (Exodus 32:19, 20; Deuteronomy 4:22-24; 1 Kings 18:18-40) Has their work borne fruit? Absolutely! Besides helping to gather the full complement of anointed ones, they have helped millions of “other sheep” to show willing submission to Jesus Christ.-John 10:16; Revelation 7:4.
Yes, they have to say that, because Moses and Elijah appeared in the transfiguration depicting what would happen at the presence or advent of Christ, which Witnesses incorrectly teach occurred in 1914.
Did Jehovah get to make them into a kingdom of Priests? Or had they missed out? See comment below. Interesting
The "spirit of the Christ" is the spirit of the anointed.
Regarding exodus 19:6. The WT of 2012 says: However, when the Messiah arrived, he would introduce the new covenant foretold by Jeremiah. Those who accepted the Christ were invited to become party to the new covenant and would actually become “a kingdom of priests.” The Israelites were given priest but because they could keep the laws perfectly, the greater high priest Jesus gave them a new covenant. But true, they did become a nation of priest but they were literal priest not heavenly priest?
The offer was taken away from the nation of Israel, but not from individual descendants of Abraham. Now it is offered to both Jew and Gentile.
But maybe since christ there were not many anointed? Because after the apostles died there would be many because of Constantine? I don’t know but I imagine there were few
My question is, if the 24 elders mentioned in Revelation picture the whole gathered anointed after Armageddon or during, why are we not understanding the number 24 as being literal if the number 144000 is literal figure?
An excellent point. Their theology doesn't hold up will under scrutiny.
In the first resurected
Think about it, this elderly couple had someone teach them Bible truth and got baptized, and in Matthew 28: 18-20, says: And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the holy spirit teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And Look!I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things. And after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 C.E , after the religious leaders, decided that they would put Jesus to death because they don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God (Jehovah). No one stole any thing from the jews, they made a choice: Impressed even more by Jesus and fearful that Jesus may have a divine origin, Pilate renews his efforts to release him. The Jews, however, rebuff Pilate. If you release this man, (Jesus Christ) you are not a friend of Caesar. Every man making himself a king speaks against Caesar. " Despite the dire implications, Pilate brings Jesus outside once more. See! Your king!" he appeals yet again. "Take him away! Take him away! Impale him!" " Shall I Impale your king?" Pilate asks in desperation. The jews have chafed under the rule of the Romans. Indeed, they despise Rome's domination! Yet, hypocritically, the chief priest say: we have no king but Caesar. "John 19:6-17; 18: 31,
The Jewish religious leaders, rather rebuilt some religious temple, and offer up 5 red heifers, meaning the rather worship idols, something Jehovah God finds detestable. John 14: 5,6: Thomas said to him: "lord, we do not know where you are going. How do we know the way? Jesus said to him: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (Jehovah)except through me. So that heavenly kingdom is abandoned to the religious Jewish leaders, so they are no part of the 144,000.
Telling your audience not to question what they read in the scriptures and to wait for the holy spirit is akin to saying don't question the Governing Body and wait on Jehovah. The only difference is that you have moved your confidence from the Governing Idiots to men farther in the past who claimed to speak for God.
To not question, whether it be the pronouncements of WatchTower or those found in scripture, is to surrender critical thinking.
If the scriptures are truth they will stand up to questioning and scrutiny.
You're absolutely right, but wrong in suggesting that I was telling my audience not to question. What I was saying was that there are things we cannot know. When it comes to things which are clearly stated in Scripture, we should not disbelieve simply because we cannot understand who they work.
Photons act as waves and also as particles. How can they be both? I don't know. However, my inability to explain that phenomenon will not cause me to deny the existence of light.
@Beroean Pickets I hope everyone in your audience can see it that way. As JWs we were trained to be mentally lazy. Old habits die hard.
Jehovah's Witnesses are the true worshippers in John 4:23
The mark of true worshippers is found at John 13:34, 35.
You think, as I once did, that there has to be a true religion. But you are basing your belief on a false premise that there has to be one true religion. That premise guided me for many years, because I failed to see that it is a false premise. I failed to understand what Jesus mean when the talked with the Samaritan woman.
That woman was essentially asking which is the true religion.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.” 21 Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. 23 Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:20-24)
Jesus' answer wasn't that the true religion was no longer found in Israel nor the Mountain Samaritan's used, but in Jehovah's Witnesses. His point was that no religion was acceptable to God, but rather what he looked for then and now was individuals who would worship Him in sprit and in truth.
You cannot worship in truth if you are required to obey the doctrines of men.
But a man living on earth can also be seen as a member of the kingdom, or am I wrong?
It isn't membership that Jehovah promised those in the covenant, but inheritance. According to the Organization, the other sheep don't inherit the kingdom. They are just friends. They are not even in any covenant relationship with God, so that means God has made them no promise. Jehovah doesn't have to keep his word to the other sheep, because he never promised them anything. If he had, then they would be in an covenant with God. Of course, I'm speaking from the standpoint of JW teaching.
Amen and Amen. Thanks Eric. Very enlightening information. I was wondering what the word “Pimo” means in English. I heard that word in Spanish. I don’t want to be more specific but I would like if you please know how it is translated in English or just write the word please. I will understand completely only thing I don’t know the word use it in English. Thanks so much Eric. May the Lord spirit continue to be with you. Agape love ❤️
Hi Margaretislas2916. PIMO is an English acronym for Physically In Mentally Out. It is used in Spanish, but I would suggest a Spanish equivalent would be FIAMEA FIsicamente Adentro MEntalmente Afuera
Could they include those faithful ones before Christ seeing as pentecost was when he poured out his spirit on those at Pentecost? I don’t know
I get into that in greater depth in my book: www.amazon.com/Shutting-Door-Kingdom-God-Salvation/dp/1778143040/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1X7Y4ZFUPJXDM&keywords=shutting+the+door+to+the+kingdom+of+god&qid=1697382645&sprefix=shutting+the+%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-1

Thank you for pointing that out. That was a mistake.
But the promise to become a kingdom of priest and holy nation was literal through promise to Abraham?
It began with Abraham, but was revealed progressively, first through Moses, and then through Christ when the sacred secret was fully revealed.
Praise the God of Israel Yahouah and his Son Yahosha the Messiah. Shalom
This the True names of our Creator and his Son. If you do deep research you will find the true names of our Heavenly Father and his Son the Messiah. Shalom. All the names are Pagan. The early Catholics are responsible for a lot of pagan titles along with The father of this World Satan. Thanks for sharing Eric. Although it's not what you're talking about. But it's something I wanted to Share .
God bless you!🤗💜🤎🙏🏿
@walkbyfaithalways7698 • Thank you for that. I find there is a lot of confusion about the commonly used names like Jehovah and Yahweh.
@@onesneak7668 Please do your research! Shalom
@@onesneak7668 Jesus is the " way, truth and life" not religion.. remember the almighty is not Catholic, JW, Pentecostal, Evangelical, or belonging to any religion at all...
I spell our Creator name wrong it's actually "Yahuah" and his Son name is Yahshua and not Jesus. Please do your research. You can find it on the Torah our the Jewish Bible or Cepher Bible. I once believed his name was Jesus as well until I started doing a lot of digging. Most English Bibles are not completely right. The God of this current World doesn't want people find the truth. All religion are tainted. You have a lot of so called Cristians who still celebrate pagan holidays. Please do your research and read those Bibles I mentioned. Take Care
@clear view Yes Yahshua is the truth and the life. You don't need a church etc. Or you need is to read your Bible thoroughly to have a personal relationship with the God of Israel. And to live righteous life and tell others about the Messiah and the Father. Shalom
Great material and information..
Another thing that made me lose trust in this religion is some of the current JW who claim to be of the 144,000 are married. ? Revelation 14:3,4

@@jessekings7828,

@@vintage6346 are you bored? Why do you keep answering questions with silly questions?
@@jessekings7828,
Please answer my question.
The 144000 is just part of million of that will be resurrected rev 20: 6
The foreigners in the Exodus WERE participants of the Law Covenant, despite the LIES of the self-appointed 'faithful slave':
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6 - "Further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the Law covenant. In what way? Not by becoming participants in it but by submitting to the laws associated with it and benefiting from its arrangements."
Deuteronomy 29:10-15 PROVES that this is a false teaching, confirming that ALL Christians can participate in the New Covenant:
10 “ALL of you are stationed today before Jehovah your God, the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officers, every man of Israel,
11 your children, your wives, and your FOREIGN RESIDENT who is in the midst of your camp, from the one gathering your wood to the one drawing your water.
12 YOU (ALL) are here in order to enter into the covenant of Jehovah your God and his oath, which Jehovah your God is making with YOU today
13 in order that he may establish YOU (ALL) today as his people and that he may be your God, just as he has promised you and just as he swore to your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 "Now it is not with YOU alone (ALL) that I am making this covenant and this oath,
15 but it is with [ALL] those standing here with us today before Jehovah our God and with those who are not here with us today."
Rahab and Ruth were foreigners and were accepted as full members of the nation of Israel. If they hadn't been, the Messianic lineage would have been corrupted by non-Israelites.
Which bible translation is most accurate... which should I turn to brother 🤔 👀
Eric often uses the Berean Standard Bible. It is available on Bible Hub. But he also uses all translations and the interlinears. Which one he chooses to use depends on the subject he is discussing and the audience that he especially wants to reach.
As vintage6346 say... ❤
Jesus was the first ressurection to heaven from death! He also took the keys of Abyss.( means nobody can die without his permission)with Him along with old testament servents to heaven from Abraham buzum and emptied it now only uncomfortable side is operating for people who don't die in Jesus ,every believer now goes to heaven upon death.rest will wait until end of 1000 yrs to be judged by Jesus, no such thing people will be ressurected during millennial rain .( that's included my jw mother)
@hanparmenekse2300 -- Can you please share the Scriptures that support your idea that now every believer goes to heaven upon death?
Eric should move on now and give it a rest hating on the watchtower is not good for your health, how many decades have you been exposing them, move on and get a life now.
“. . .At this Peter took him aside and commenced rebuking him, saying: “Be kind to yourself, Lord; you will not have this [destiny] at all.” But, turning his back, he said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you think, not God’s thoughts, but those of men.”” (Matthew 16:22, 23)
“. . .To the extent that each one has received a gift, use it in ministering to one another as fine stewards of God’s undeserved kindness that is expressed in various ways. If anyone speaks, let him do so as speaking pronouncements from God; if anyone ministers, let him do so as depending on the strength that God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. The glory and the might are his forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:10, 11)
“. . .So he called and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazʹa·rus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this blazing fire.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you had your fill of good things in your lifetime, but Lazʹa·rus for his part received bad things. Now, however, he is being comforted here, but you are in anguish.” (Luke 16:24, 25)
"...hating on the watchtower"? Lol.
Proverbs 8:13, 14 says, "13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight and strength."
I read recently where Eric wrote that his health is better than ever. His exposé of Watchtower's fraud doctrine on the 144,000 does everyone's heart good. What would you rather he be doing with his life?
I’m so glad that I’m no longer in this man made religion!! I learned that Jehovah isn’t his name. The letter J was created in 1524 by Gian Giorgio Trissino. No prophet, old congregation, bible writer, or his son ever used, pronounced and knew of this name. Even if it was, the use of his name is used in a disrespectful manner. It’s supposed to be holy, respected and higher than any name. A president, king, politician, or parent isn’t called by their name, God should be even higher!!!
Jehovah is God's name in English.
@@vintage6346 created by who?

I've seen Eric suggest that people research Yahweh and Jehovah on biblehub.
See : jehovah true kingdom youtube see first resurrection and second resurrection not a jw
Before and since Jesus came there were not many faithful worshipers of Jehovah, there were not many people on the earth and if you count from the flood up to Jesus there weren’t many faithful ones who accepted jerseys as the messiah. At Pentecost there were only five thousand accepting ones then after apostles died the apostasy came in which fulfilled Mathew 13 about the wheat and weeds growing together. False religion spread throughout the world. So I can see how 144000 could be a feasible number.
You're forgetting scriptures like this one:
“. . .Why, do YOU not know what the Scripture says in connection with E·liʹjah, as he pleads with God against Israel? “Jehovah, they have killed your prophets, they have dug up your altars, and I alone am left, and they are looking for my soul.” Yet, what does the divine pronouncement say to him? “I have left seven thousand men over for myself, [men] who have not bent the knee to Baʹal.. . .” (Romans 11:2-4)
Hello hope you are safe and well and in good spirit can I ask why Jesus who is the morning and satan who is also called the morning star?? Why both is it becuese Jesus now has that title as that's what satan had at one point but now lost it ...never again to obtain it only through falsehood on this earth and deception
Can you give me scripture where Satan is called the Morning Star?
@@ProselyteofYah Please do. I'm getting overwhelmed with comments and emails and having trouble getting the videos and transcripts done. I wish there were a way to slow time. 😅
@@ProselyteofYah Beautifully explained.
Thanks yes and also I feel it's a position when you see this in the morning it's the one that stands out like it's the first one looking over us ...satan if you remember had t a similar position over us and he failed like Adam and others so I feel this position is now belonging to Christ but he did not fail ......and stayed the course and became out king ..........and he will now have a new name. ...as he became Christ .teacher .king and so forth I wonder what his new name is ? Lol I suppose if we stay the course and do what is asked of us we too will have a name on us and offcourse become sons and loved by him and the most high
Can I ask a strange one ....all things wer created for his son and his son helpered in the beginning eve. Before earth ...so all knew there part and position and why things came to be ! ......went it all went wrong and there's altered the whole existence purpose etc why can I ask did Jehovah need his son to be sacrificed ?? Why not some one else? I'm not trying to change things but can't understand why his son whom all thing we're for had to be th one .....?... Was the word the only one who could conquer all things that would be thrown at him ?? Was no no other son ?? .....I know they are like one now but there were then anyway ....so instead of being. Physical is the word now spiritual ?......he is now higher than angels and is like one could he transform.again so we can see him ??
....or will that just be part of the gift in Jehovah or the almighty creators new way
Just off topic, can anyone help me with this. I was told recently that my departure from Jw will cost me as this is his chosen organization. Then I was told about Acts 15:14 which is about “a separate group of people for my name” I guess being a Jw one would feel this people consists of ones in this religion. Does anyone have a response or comment/thoughts on this ? Thank you
Whenever I hear a challenge like this made by Witnesses, my first response it to ask a question. It goes like this: What if a Seventh Day Adventist, or a Baptist, were to use this reasoning to try to get one of your Bible Students to remain in their religion? What reasoning would you use to get your Bible Student to leave and be baptised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
They will invariable answer: I'd tell my student that those religions are false, because they teach the Trinity, hellfire, and the immortal soul. We have the true religion.
Now that you've got the JW in question to commit to a criteria for leaving a religion, you can ask, Would not the same reasoning apply to Jehovah's Witnesses? Can they be "a separate group of people for my name" if they are teaching false doctrines like the other religions?
You can take it from there.
@@LosBereanos thank you that’s good advice. What do I say when they come back and say that this is the only religion that uses God’s name Jehovah and they are his people because of this point
@@mrgordy1980 They aren't the only religion that uses God's name. For instance, the Iglesia ni Christ, numbering in the millions, established in 1914 in the Philippians also uses Jehovah extensively, so if that it the criteria, then how do they account for that church?
@@ProselyteofYah Your comparison with the situation in ancient Israel is absolutely justified.
According to the Hebrew Scriptures, false prophets appeared among God's chosen people at that time.
In this sense, even for Hananiah, the term "prophet" is used in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Thus, a prophet has proved to be a false prophet by spreading prophecies among his countrymen in the name of God that have not become reality.
The fate that befell such false prophets in ancient Israel can be deduced from the following biblical narrative.
The consequence described in Jeremiah chapter 28 follows the principle documented in Deuteronomy 18:20-22 as a general binding maxim.
According to this principle, all presidents of the Watchtower Society, from Russell to Rutherford to Knorr and Co., would have been classified as "false prophets" and would have had to be shunned from now on by the other true worshippers of God in order not to lose the favor of the true God.
Jehovah's Witnesses who claim to honor the God of the Bible are obviously unaware of this essential aspect.
Today's doctrine of the "overlapping generation," which is synonymous with prophecy in God's name, is also not biblical and must therefore be rejected by all true worshippers of God. But even today, the Watchtower Society requires its members to accept this unbiblical prediction in the name of God and to preach publicly as absolute truth.
Some time ago I asked a Jehovah's Witness, who serves as an elder, whether the individual Jehovah's Witness was entitled to doubt or question this particular doctrine without fear of consequences. However, this question was clearly answered in the negative, although I was able to prove to him that this rule is also enshrined unchanged in the New Testament. (Acts 1:7; 2 Peter 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:1).
For all currently published teachings are classified as relevant to salvation from the point of view of the organization.
The organization therefore requires its members to disregard this maxim of the Bible in order to live up to the commandments of its governing body and not to fall out of favor with this authority.
These arbitrary guidelines alone compel the true believer to leave the organization if one does not want to come into conflict with the basic commandments of God.
Jeremiah Chapter 28
"In that same year, in the beginning of the reign of King Zed·e·kiʹaha of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, the prophet H a n · a · n i ʹ a h the son of Azʹzur from Gibʹe·on said to me in the house of Jehovah in the presence of the priests and all the people:
2 “T h i s i s what J e h o v a h of armies, the God of Israel, s a y s , ‘I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Within two years* I am bringing back to this place all the utensils of the house of Jehovah that King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar of Babylon took from this place and brought to Babylon.’”
4 “‘And I will bring back to this place Jec·o·niʹahe son of Je·hoiʹa·kim,f the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah who have gone to Babylon,’g declares Jehovah, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
5 Then J e r e m i a h the p r o p h e t spoke to Han·a·niʹah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of Jehovah.
Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen!* May Jehovah do this! May Jehovah fulfill your words that you prophesied by bringing back from Babylon to this place the utensils of the house of Jehovah and all the exiled people!
7 However, hear, please, this message that I am speaking in your ears and in the ears of all the people.
8 Long ago the p r o p h e t s who were prior to me and prior to you used to prophesy concerning many lands and great kingdoms, about war, calamity, and pestilence.*
9 If a p r o p h e t prophesies about peace and the w o r d of that prophet c o m e s t r u e , t h e n it will be known that J e h o v a h truly s e n t t h a t p r o p h e t.”
10 At that Han·a·niʹah the prophet took the yoke bar off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it.
11 Han·a·niʹah then said in the presence of all the people: “This is what Jehovah says, ‘Just like this I will break the yoke of King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two years.’”
And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
12 After Han·a·niʹah the prophet had broken the yoke bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, this message of Jehovah came to Jeremiah:
13 “Go and say to Han·a·niʹah, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “You have broken yoke bars of wood,j but instead of them you will make yoke bars of iron.”
14 For this is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says: “I will put an iron yoke bar on the neck of all these nations, to serve King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar of Babylon, and they must serve him. Even the wild beasts of the field I will give him.”’”l
15 J e r e m i a h the prophet then said to H a n · a · n i ʹ a h the prophet: “Listen, please, O Han·a·niʹah!
J e h o v a h has n o t s e n t y ou , but y o u have c a u s e d this p e o p l e to t r u s t in a l i e .
16 Therefore this is what Jehovah says, ‘Look! I am removing you from the face of the ground. This year you will die, for you have urged rebellion against Jehovah.’o
17 So H a n · a · n i ʹ a h the p r o p h e t d i e d i n t h a t y e a r, in the seventh month.
