What if we have consulted God's word and diligently compared it with the Bible-based publications of the Watchtower and have discerned disturbing discrepancies, particularly as regards the fulfillment of prophecy? Then what? What is the course of wisdom for the growing number of Jehovah's Witnesses who realize that everything attached to 1914, all the Society's voluminous exegesis, amounts to an artfully contrived false story? Ought such truth-seekers be punished by a judicial tribunal for having read "apostate" material such as Jehovah Himself Has Become King?
Let's talk specifics. For example, the Grand Climax commentary on Revelation teaches that the two anointed witnesses came on the scene during the First World War. Keep in mind that the two witnesses stand in the public square and give witness to the wisdom of God. It seems like an incredible stretch that this could have happened in 1917 because the Book of Truth says that the two anointed witnesses can devour their enemies by issuing fire out of their mouths. Of course, any sensible person will realize this is symbolic, as does the Watchtower. So, how did the two witnesses associated with the Watchtower symbolically kill their enemies with the fiery judgments of God that they spoke back then? The Grand Climax (para 16b) has the answer:
It is understandable why the scholarly Fred Franz would feel the need to add a bit of a footnote of clarification, as noted in the last sentence above: "Other publications would make clear..." But if the two witnesses are standing next to the Lord of the whole earth and conversely the Lord of the whole earth is standing next to them, which, of course, is what the parousia is, then why would it be necessary for "other publications" to "make clear" what the inspired two witnesses spoke back in 1917? Is it because what has been falsely attributed to the two witnesses is a volume of incomprehensible gobbledygook and embarrassing gibberish?
What is even more perplexing, the Watchtower did not begin teaching that the Lord of the whole earth began some sort of invisible presence in 1914 until around 1930. That means the two witnesses who were standing alongside the Lord of the whole earth in 1917 did not at that time realize that the Lord of the whole earth had come alongside them. See what happens when we try to make sense of nonsense?
It is doubtful that very many people living today, millions of JWs included, are aware that the Watchtower distributed a book that so infuriated the clergy that they used their political influence to get the book banned. That is incredible. Why ought such a tome of firey denunciations of Satan's system now be a forgotten relic of theocratic lore? Surely, the Governing Body agrees that since we are living in the climactic Lord's day the words of the immortal two witnesses must be studied and preserved for all eternity. How often is it that God's people are gifted with the words of the prophets spoken in real-time? Thankfully there are still a few mouldering copies of The Finished Mystery book out there. You can get your hands on a copy on eBay. Also, the Lord has seen fit to preserve the Watchtower's words of wisdom on PDF. A few years ago some curious JW read The Finished Mystery and diligently noted key points with page references to facilitate your own research, should you choose to make sure of all things. They compiled a list and published on the Internet so that all may benefit from the firey words that the two witnesses issued back in 1917. See the second post as I have reached my word limit
Since the Watchtower has rightly relegated their Finished Mystery to the rubbish bin and has even ordered JWs not to consult older publications (for obvious reasons) why has not the faithful and discreet slave repudiated the claim that the distribution of the nonsensical Finished Mystery was the fulfillment of prophecy? Put another way: What might likely be the response of someone not associated with the Watchtower if they were to read the words attributed to the two witnesses? Since I am constrained by Christian manners and do not wish to offend the sensitive, I would imagine that many would describe it more crudely than merely a metaphoric heap of male bovine manure. Since that is undeniably true, why must God's people believe what many would rightly call BS in order to remain in the truth?
Since organizational unity can only be maintained by falsehood and tyranny, it cannot possibly last. A lie will only take you so far and it is looking more and more like we are at the end of the line. God has already revealed the outcome, let us call it the real finished mystery. Here is what Jehovah my God has said:
"Now go, write it on a tablet in their presence,
And inscribe it in a book,
So that it may serve for a future day
As a permanent witness.
For they are a rebellious people, deceitful sons,
Sons who are unwilling to hear the law of Jehovah.
They say to the seers, ‘Do not see,’
And to the visionaries, ‘Do not tell us truthful visions.
Tell us flattering things; envision deceptive illusions.
Turn aside from the way; deviate from the path.
Quit putting before us the Holy One of Israel.’”
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:
“Since you reject this word
And you trust in fraud and deceit
And you rely on these,
So this error will be for you like a broken wall,
Like a bulging high wall ready to fall.
It will crash suddenly, in an instant.
It will be broken like a large potter’s jar,
So completely smashed that no fragment among its pieces will be left
To rake the fire from the fireplace
Or to scoop water from a puddle.”
Isaiah 30:8-14
And inscribe it in a book,
So that it may serve for a future day
As a permanent witness.
For they are a rebellious people, deceitful sons,
Sons who are unwilling to hear the law of Jehovah.
They say to the seers, ‘Do not see,’
And to the visionaries, ‘Do not tell us truthful visions.
Tell us flattering things; envision deceptive illusions.
Turn aside from the way; deviate from the path.
Quit putting before us the Holy One of Israel.’”
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:
“Since you reject this word
And you trust in fraud and deceit
And you rely on these,
So this error will be for you like a broken wall,
Like a bulging high wall ready to fall.
It will crash suddenly, in an instant.
It will be broken like a large potter’s jar,
So completely smashed that no fragment among its pieces will be left
To rake the fire from the fireplace
Or to scoop water from a puddle.”
Isaiah 30:8-14
The Unfinished Mystery
I would like to make a belated remark on the daily text published by the Watchtower Society for Thursday, August 12, 2010, which was based upon the following scripture: “Do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God.” —1 John...

The Unfinished Mystery of God
In the Revelation the apostle John was transported by inspiration to the Lord's Day not only to witness, but also to directly participate in a dramatic prophetic vision with Christ, similar to his transfiguration experience. In the 10th chapter of Revelation, John witnessed a powerful angel...
