Monday, December 4th - You have kindled my anger like a fire

[Watchman]

He rejected the advice that the older men gave him.—1 Ki. 12:8.

When Rehoboam became king of Israel, his subjects came to him with a request. They asked him to lighten the load that his father, Solomon, had laid upon them. Commendably, Rehoboam consulted with the older men of Israel to see how he should reply to the people. The older men advised the king that if he did what the people asked, they would always support him. (1 Ki. 12:3-7) Apparently, Rehoboam was not satisfied with that advice, so he consulted the men who had grown up with him. They counseled him to add to the burdens of the people. (1 Ki. 12:9-11) Rehoboam could have asked Jehovah which advice he should follow. Instead, he listened to the younger men. The consequences were disastrous for Rehoboam and for the people of Israel. In our case, the advice we receive may not always be what we want to hear. Still, if it is based on God’s Word, we should accept it. w22.02 9 ¶6

The writers at Bethel seem to have lost the plot, as the saying does. Seriously, how could the GB be so obtuse? The issue was not that Rehoboam didn't follow the advice of the older men or seek counsel from God through a prophet. Jehovah had already determined to rip Israel apart. The disaster had already occurred when Solomon refused to listen to Jehovah and married hundreds of foreign wives. As he grew older they seduced him into building temples to their gods. Jehovah became furious with Solomon, to whom he had appeared on two occasions. Solomon became an apostate. And his apostasy had disastrous consequences for the people of Israel. In chapter 11 Jehovah's prophet ripped his garment into 12 shreds and awarded Jeroboam 10 pieces, symbolizing that God was going to give 10 tribes to Jeroboam. It didn't matter whose counsel Rehoboam listened to. The die was cast.

The leadership of the Watchtower organization is in a similar position as Rehoboam. The apostasy has already occurred, at least the beginning phase of it. There is nothing anyone can do to reverse Jehovah's intention to rip the organization apart. The Governing Body has listened to some bad counsel. They have made ill-advised decisions that are certain to have disastrous consequences. Whose idea was it to join the Watchtower to the United Nations in a political partnership? Lloyd Barry? Who was behind building an assembly hall in Denmark laid out like the eye of Horus? Whose idea was it to claim Jehovah provided the vaccines? Did the GB follow the orders of the board of directors when they oversaw the dispossession of tens of thousands of JWs who were evicted from their Kingdom Halls so the Watchtower could flip the property for cash? Whose brilliant idea was it to protect pedophiles from prosecution and persecute their victims?

No. There is nothing the Governing Body or any of their helpers can do. They have kindled the fire of Jehovah's anger and now it is just a matter of time before the full fury of his wrath is unleashed. "You will forfeit, of your own accord, your inheritance that I gave you. And I will make you serve your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger like a fire. It will burn for all time.” - Jeremiah 17:4

At this point, my advice to the GB is to just go ahead and throw another log on the fire.

"The leadership of the Watchtower is now fully in opposition to Christ. The foretold apostasy has begun. Can the storm be far off?:
From the Watchtower apostasy has spread by Robert King."

All the articles above were superb. Jehovah's spirit certainly must rest heavily upon you, Br. King.
Without it, you could not possibly have such unique insight.

Even though lacking in this area, I can still agree with your point of view. From outward appearances, it definitely appears that the apostasy has begun. We first seriously noticed this tendency with the virtually "forced injection" but, looking back, it probably started even earlier. In our opinion, things seemed to take a downward turn by the early 2000's...actually earlier than that...at least, by the time of the NGO affiliation of which we were not aware of at the time.

Keep up the good work. It certainly keeps us motivated and pointed in the right direction.

Yes Kindled a fire that becomes smoke in the nostrills of Jehovah all day long, their holier than though attititude Isa65:5. The name 'Watchtower' has become a curse vs15!

Yes Kindled a fire that becomes smoke in the nostrills of Jehovah all day long, their holier than though attititude Isa65:5. The name 'Watchtower' has become a curse vs15!

Isaiah 65:5,15
“They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not approach me, For I am holier than you.’ These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire burning all day long.”

“You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death, But his own servants he will call by another name;”

The WT have clearly lost the plot, but the script is always the same, throw out a few verses and reinforce the virtue of those who follow the lead and those who go along to get along for the sake of unity. Truth? only when it is convenient. They are really saying 'follow our script or you are apostate and will be thrown out like so much refuse.'

The conclusion per the WT script: artfully contrived admonition that will be used out of context all day long:

"... In our case, the advice we receive may not always be what we want to hear. Still, if it is based on God’s Word, we should accept it."

According to Watchtower lore supposedly God was displeased with the leadership of the Society because they bowed to government pressure and censored the Finished Mystery of God in 1916 (The entire book was basically a work of fiction and a source of embarrassment to the Watchtower to this day)

If anyone has access to "The Finished Mystery of God" book, notice the prophetic interpretation of "Leviathan" or "crocodile" at Job 41:3).
(Job 41:1) . . .“Can you draw out Le·viʹa·than with a fishhook. . ."

The book actually contains a correction (sorry, clarification) of their previous interpretation of Leviathan from that of a "steam engine" to a much more logical interpretation of a "Locomotive".

That's exactly why we have "absolute" confidence in their interpretation of prophecies!

I know we here all pray for our host and each other before setting foot out of bed each day: Knowledgeable of the eviction about to happen in heaven, once they are ousted they will first wage war with those who have the work of bearing witness concerning Jesus.Rev12:17. To them we are blessed in knowing too much and they are right! We are undeservedly blessed; Pray we live up to it!

You are so right. in my mind they are adding sin on top of sin. What's next?
