Do you recognize the truth?

I both recognize the truth and the error. My problem is with trust.

My faith is strong for one reason: I completely trust Christ and Jehovah. I find that the bible is harmonious and true. I do not trust the watchtower, and I do not trust those teaching from it's erroneous publications.

It's a major consternation. Where am I to go? I find myself hoping a split will happen with the watchtower, that is, if this system is to continue.

When will the anointed wake up? Why are you sleeping, get up.
 
This is the quote of the century:
We can maintain our confidence in Jehovah’s organization. When it becomes clear that an adjustment is needed in our understanding of a certain Bible truth or in the way that the Kingdom work is organized, those taking the lead do not hesitate to make the necessary changes.

It has been clear for a long time, a very long time, that 1914 is a myth, an artfully contrived false story. And ought Jehovah's Witnesses have confidence in the Watchtower to make the "necessary changes" after it has facilitated this operation of Satan from the beginning? How much better it would be to have faith in God

ALL the 'virgins' fall asleep waiting for the bridegroom. Some of them will 'wake up' when he returns. Be patient. (Matt 25:5)

Wow! Is Watchtower slowly going to accept Christmas. Please tell me your opinion does this 2024 Convention theme song sound like a Christmas song or a Walt Disney theme song

“Christ is born”? I am sorry, but that is not even grammatically correct, is it? Shouldn’t it be “Christ has been born” or “Christ WAS born”? It just reminds me of all the signs in peoples yards during the Christmas season. Also, at Easter, they say “Christ IS risen”. That phraseology just reminds me too much of Christendom.

I find this both hilarious and extremely offensive all at the same time. So the same people who have been teaching one Bible truth, one that is really extremely difficult to spin, "the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one", also teach that Satan...oh wait I mean Jehovah provided a "life saving vaccine." Sorry, but you cannot have it both ways. Oh, and they cannot argue that "some good people" were behind the vaccine and not influenced by Satan, when it was every government on earth almost, pushing the exact same thing.

I have said this before but I will say it again, if indeed the vaccine did come from Jehovah and Jesus, and the rest of the Covid "direction" then that means Jehovah was helping Satan! Because we don't need a vaccine if we were perfect! That alone exposes them as the lairs that they are, and not just lairs, from the "father the devil" liars.

The entire argument I have been taught my whole life pertaining to why Jehovah has permitted wickedness is thrown out the window by the GB with the way they handled Covid...and there is nothing anyone can ever do to change that. They are apostates! Jesus did NOT direct them in anyway what so ever regarding Covid, well, unless like Pharaoh "Jehovah hardened their hearts." Which just means Jehovah has allowed them to reveal who and what they really are.

I think part of the problem is that the "anointed" aren't "anointed"...yet. I believe Jah calls people to the heavenly life, as Paul said. He said he was struggling to gain the heavenly hope. Christ said many are called but few chosen. I believe when the called are chosen they then become anointed...and you'll know it. They will be infused with HS and will display the power of God's spirit in many incredible ways. For some, they won't be anointed until their deaths, unfortunately. In any case, in those days there will be much unforgivable sin as many blaspheme the HS, just like the Scribes and Pharisees in the days of Jesus. The anointed will become a shining torch who will draw and gladden the hearts of all those righteously inclined.

For your consideration:

 
Regarding the article that the congregations will be discussing for September 16-22, “Do You Recognize The Truth”, I think this article is one of the strongest yet, at least in my mind, in pushing the idea that brothers and sisters must stay in the organization and be obedient to their “truths” as though they come from Jehovah himself. Here is a quote from paragraph 11: “Today we can be sure that Jehovah disapproves of those who disrespect his organizational arrangements.” They liken leaving the organization or not following their directives as missing out on the Promised Land as when prominent men criticized Moses.

They mention humility as a trait needed to be able to recognize the truth and yet they also say that not being obedient to their directives is to not recognize men that Jehovah himself has chosen to lead the congregations. Perhaps they should be more humble.

Could they be setting up a rejection of the Chosen Ones that will be sealed at Jesus’ 2nd coming? Here is another quote, paragraph 14: “What could happen if we deviated from “the standard of wholesome words”? Consider an example. In the first century, a rumor was apparently circulating among some Christians that the day of Jehovah had arrived. There may have been a letter—supposedly written by the apostle Paul—that made such an assertion. Without taking the time to check the facts, some Christians in Thessalonica believed the rumor and were even spreading it. They would not have been fooled had they remembered the things Paul had taught them when he was still with them. (2 Thess. 2:1-5) Paul counseled his brothers not to believe everything they heard. And to help them in the future, Paul concluded his second letter to the Thessalonians with the words: “Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.”—2 Thess. 3:17.

I think this study article is very crafty and smacks of being inspired of Satan. They have twisted the true principles spelled out on God’s word to gain power over the brothers and sisters, while those same scriptures should be used to disprove the 1914 delusion.
