    You seem to diagnose people as having OCD on a regular basis.  I have never seen OCD defined generally as hate.  It is an unwanted obsession that the person spends copious amounts of time and energy, in eliminating.  OCD cannot be associated with the personal desire to spread truth, by exposing lies.   Jesus hated lies and exposed them.  Did he suffer from OCD?
    "And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them."  Eph 5:11
    If we love the Father and the Son, shouldn't we "desire" to expose wickedness and lies said against them?    It is not an "unwanted" obsession.   It is called our "testimony" of truth, in the same way Jesus gave his testimony of truth.  John 18:37

    Kick_Faceinator reacted to Patiently waiting for Truth in Ramapo Accepting Public Comment On Proposed Jehovah’s Witnesses HQ In Sloatsburg   
    https://rcbizjournal.com/2021/05/18/ramapo-now-accepting-public-comment-on-proposed-jehovahs-witnesses-hq-in-sloatsburg/
    A DEIS Hearing Will Be Held May 26;  Public Comments Period Ends June 21
     
    The Town of Ramapo will be accepting public comment on the proposed new World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses Audio/Video Production Center now that the DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) is complete. There is a DEIS hearing on May 26 and public comments will be accepted until June 21.
    The 1.7 million square-foot project, known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, is slated for 155 Sterling Mine Road in largely Sloatsburg and partly in Tuxedo in Orange County. Of the 249 acres, 242 are located in Ramapo; the balance is in Tuxedo. The Tuxedo portion of land will be used for secondary driveway access.
    The religious order, known as the Worldwide Order of Special Full Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses, is hoping to build an A/V production center with audio and video production studios and facilities to support operations of the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The facilities include offices, maintenance and set production workshops, and a central chilled/hot water plant with geothermal heat recovery system. Accommodations for resident staff include 645 residential units (545 one-bedroom and 100 studio units), dining/assembly spaces,  recreation/wellness/fitness facilities, and a clinic.
    ( Is this a new title for some of the JWs ? And if so why ?  I have said before they have many different Orgs. )
    The religious order purchased the land in 2009 for $11.5 million.
    The proposed live/work facility is integral to the religious missionary and educational work of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Occupants will be members of the Order, all of whom are adults without minor children who live under a vow of obedience and poverty, or adult religious volunteers, who will be assisting on a short-term basis.
    So, whos wording is this ? I've only copied and pasted it. I did note is says Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses, not servants of GOD. 
    So is this no part of the Watchtower Society either then ?

    Oh dear, well it's a bit different to being called an apostate, I'm now being called a troll. You do let your emotions over rule your common sense, but then the truth always hurts JWs. 
    Split personalities it seems. Serve the GB by preaching what you are told to preach, but then not believe what you are preaching. I think @JW Insider has given examples of this in the past.

    Not true. The GB / Leaders of the multi Orgs are changing the meanings of Jesus' words. Because by changing so called 'understanding' they are changing what is being preached or taught. Hence they destroy old books and and replace with different teachings. I think they even try to pretend now that all JWs are part of the 'body of Christ'.

    Man of Lawlessness = Christendom?  
    2 Thess 2:1-4 - Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 
    3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 
    4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
    What is God's Temple?  I'll let you answer that:
    “The Sealing of the 144,000 Is At Hand”…
    The scriptures do indicate some insight to what he meant,  "But he was talking about the temple of his body." (John 2:21)  Notice the scripture doesn't state his fleshly body for his fleshly body was to be sacrificed once and for all time, but rather 'the temple of his body.' 
    If Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone of God's temple, then there must be other stones? The scripture gives us evidence that others are also included as God’s temple that Jesus Christ himself would raise up. "Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that the spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)  Again, this did not happen in a 72 hour period but rather the process of raising up the foundation of the living stones began on Pentecost 33 CE. 
    The Apostle Peter referred to the temple by stating, "As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen, precious to God, you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:4-5)
    Can the Body of Christ be the same as God’s temple? Yes. “Just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of that body, although many, are one body, so too is the Christ.” (1 Cor 12:12)  "For just as we have in one body many members, but the members do not all have the same function, so we, although many, are one body in union with Christ, but individually we are members belonging to one another." (Romans 12:4) 
     So when can the 144,000 of God’s temple be raised up?
    4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
    Can you explain how Christendom will or has, "set himself up", which means "rule" over the anointed Temple of God?
    Who has authority over the anointed priesthood/Temple of God in the organization?  Who judges them, and acts as their "representative"?  Who utilizes their "clergy status" when it is convenient?
    2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 
    Do you realize that it is the Wt which asserts that the "day of the Lord" has already come? 1914.

    I think some here may agree, that James 1:27 tells us that there is no need to join an organization where the leadership has failed at ‘bridling’ their tongue.  Their teachings, changed doctrine taught once as fact; and today’s doctrine that will change out of necessity, proves their heart is deceptive.  
    “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.”  James 1:26
    Why pursue a useless religion.
    The Bible considers deception, which is the doctrine of men that has defiled God’s Word with the word of their own, as spiritual filth. (Prov 13:5; Matt 7:15,19; 15:9; Eph 4:14,15) The anointed in the organization had truth implanted in their heart at their anointing.  (John 8:32; 1 John 2:21,27) However they are choosing the words of men, over the pure and undefiled word of God in Christ. (Lam 2:14; Matt 24:23-25)
    Again the word of the Lord came to me: 24 “Son of man, say to the land, ‘You are a land that has not been cleansed or rained on in the day of wrath.’ 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets (GB) within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they devour people, take treasures and precious things and make many widows within her. 26 Her priests (elders) do violence to my law and profane my holy things (Temple/anointed/dwelling of God 1 Cor 3:16,17);
    they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. 27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain. (disfellowshipping, a spiritual “death” Rev 13:15)
    28 Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.
     29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice.  Ezek 22
    “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”  James 1:21

    The Gentile Times have not ended.  God's spiritual Temple has been given over to the elders as well as all JWs. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22; Rev 11:1,2)  Didn't you mention that this Temple was the anointed priesthood in another post?  Well, the elders "represent" the priesthood, but also all JWs according to GB member G.

    This is stated as fact.
    It is false prophesy.  Deut 18:20-22; Matt 7:15
    Rotten fruit from a bad tree.  Matt 7:16-187
    Bad trees are cut down and thrown into the fire.  Matt 7:19
    And JWs say they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and are loyal to God, while also professing loyalty to the organization, which promotes false prophesy. 
    Where should one's loyalty lie?  Is it with the teachings of Jesus, and what he said in Matt 7, or is it to the men and an organization that promotes false prophesy?  If Jesus' teachings about false prophets are ignored, and men who speak lies are continually exonerated, how uncomfortable it will be to face judgment. Doesn't that thought cause any awareness in the mind of a JW?
     “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad. 34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. 35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. 36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”  Matt 12:33-37
    Did JWs take this Wt. prophesy  to the door, to their Bible students?  They are as guilty as their leaders for spreading false prophesy.  Prov 10:32
    Discerning False Christs and False Prophets
    As this man in his video states: 
    “because you associate or try to lock your name (WTBTS) with God”…“any wrong that you do, God is an accomplice to your wrong.  Think about that.”

    So what does this tell us ?  It tells us that the GB are not inspired of God's Holy Spirit. It tells us that a lot of people are influenced by the GB's false teachings. And it tells us that significant changes in teachings and direction are constantly happening in the JW Org.  Did Jesus change his teachings ?  Should we change the teachings of Jesus ?

    The spiritual Temple/House/Dwelling of God from the Insight Book, vol. 1 pp. 513-514 (1 Pet 5:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22)
    "Jesus Christ is Scripturally spoken of as the “foundation cornerstone” of the Christian congregation, which is likened to a spiritual house. Peter quoted and applied to Jesus Christ this prophecy regarding the  'foundation cornerstone' on which individual anointed Christians are built up as  'living stones,' to become a spiritual house or temple for Jehovah." (1Pe 2:4-6)
    These words apparently are not “true” anymore, at least not in the Wt. organization which requires total unity, total compliance to this idol, no matter what changes occur. At some point, “new light” crept under the door and into the mind of Gerrit Loesch, the longest standing member of the GB.  Because of the Wt.’s teaching that the “great crowd” to come out of the great tribulation is every JW, and not specific to the anointed remnant who survive, because the days of deceit played against them, are “cut short”…the Wt. has to explain why this great crowd of all JWs serve God “in the temple day and night”.  (Matt 24:15,20-25; Rev 7:14,15)
    He stated in 2017:  “All of us, no matter what hope we have we serve Jehovah in the spiritual temple.  We all worship Jehovah based on Jesus’ sacrifice.  So what is the spiritual temple?  True or false: it’s the same as the spiritual paradise. False.  Umm, it refers to anointed Christians (as said in the Insight volume) 
    False again.  The temple in Bible times constituted a provision for arrangement of worshipping Jehovah.  So the spiritual temple is also an arrangement of worship based on Jesus perfect ransom sacrifice, and all that worship Jehovah, based on his sacrifice are in his spiritual temple.” 
    Does this mean that all JWs are now “living stones”?  Are they all part of the “royal priesthood” of God?  Have they all been anointed?  Are they all part of the symbolic “144,000”?
    Is it time to throw out the Insight Volumes for teaching “old light” – past truth?
    We must remember though, that there is a man-appointed priesthood: the elder body which serves the organization - not the Temple of God, as God’s priests should be defending.  Since there is an anointed priesthood, and a spiritual temple, would the arrangement to serve in that temple….change from the arrangement made in the early temple period?  No, for God told Moses, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”  Heb 8:5
    The tabernacle and temple arrangement with an anointed priesthood, stands firm today, with greater consequences for those who transgress this heavenly arrangement, even more so than what happened when foreigners entered God’s earthly temple.  (Ezek 33:29; 28:2; 44:6-9; 2 Chron 23:6,7; 2 Thess 2:8)
    It seems that this is why scriptures relating to the anointed Body of Christ, are now applying to all JWs, through its various gifts. (1 Cor 12; Eph 4:7-12)  I’m wondering if there has been “new light” creeping under the door of the "inner rooms", to be announced soon, about the new identity of the “man of lawlessness” sitting in God’s Temple.  (Matt 24:26; 2 Thess 2:1-4) 
    Previously, the leaders taught it is the clergy class exalting itself over Christendom’s religions. They are admitting that it is indeed, a priesthood.  Guess it took them some time to figure out how to reveal the “man of lawlessness” “sitting”/ruling over God’s Temple - that Temple made up of all JWs, instead of giving some excuse that this takes place in Christendom’s “false” temples, which they say Christendom believes to be owned by God.  Yes, that has been their excuse.  But now!  If all JWs are the spiritual temple, can they shift the blame on Russia and its Orthodox central religion, as the “man of lawlessness”!
    “You hatch evil, like eggs from a poisonous snake. Anyone who eats the eggs will die. And if you break one of them open, a poisonous snake will come out. Your lies are like spider webs.”  Isa 59:5
    “Your father is the devil. You belong to him. You want to do what he wants. He was a murderer from the beginning. He was always against the truth. There is no truth in him. He is like the lies he tells. Yes, the devil is a liar. He is the father of lies.”  John 8:44
    Frogs begin as an egg.  Frogs plagued Egypt, for Pharaoh’s resistance in letting God’s people go. (Exod 8:1-4)  In the organization, Christ’s “kings of the earth” (Rev 1:5; 5:9,10), sit tight, without recognizing the magical change of what little egg size truth may have once been promoted, progressively transform into a stronger and stronger lie from the mouths of false prophets and their organization.  The anointed and most JWs, sit tight under the fear of losing all that have “built” as a member of the organization. They continue to “eat” the falsehoods, originating from the serpent’s mouth, instead of walking away, despite any threats of losing their “life”.  (Matt 16:25; Rev 13:15) 
    “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, (organization) and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
     14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” 
    These are demonic expressions originating from the father of the lie, and given to the false prophet/teachers.  They are then promoted by elders who support the image of “Jehovah’s spirit-directed organization”.  (Rev 13:15)  The anointed "Israel" are absorbing into their hearts, lies about their position as God’s priests in His spiritual Temple. 
    I am amazed - I see the complete fulfillment of God's Temple being "given over" to the "Gentiles".  Isn't that what G. Loesch has done?  "Given" God's spiritual Temple to those not part of Israel?  (Rev 11:2)
      I hope as many as possible, wake up. 
    “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, (identity as belonging to Christ) lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

    When my youngest brother died just recently, the family received a letter from a local JW. JWs tend to scour the obituaries and promote the organization’s website, as the source for all spiritual comfort and answers. The letter was handed over to me, since my family knows my history as a JW.  Amazingly, it did not contain even one scripture, but only reference to the website. This is my reply, sent off to the JW.
    Hello,
    My family received a letter from you regarding my brother’s death. I appreciate the intention, but you were writing to Catholics who believe that people go to heaven when they die. The resurrection hope is difficult for them to piece together with their belief that heaven awaits fellow believers, so they presently feel my brother is in heaven.
    As you say, those in the memorial tombs will be resurrected to eternal life. They are those whom even in death, are among the “living”. (Mark 12:26,27) 
    But, there are others whom Jesus said,
    “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matt 7:21-23
    We know that these people say they believe in the Son, and obey his teachings, but Jesus reveals their lawless acts. (2 Cor 11:4;2 Thess 2:3,4,8-10) We are told that in the last days, false teachers and false prophets will mislead the “elect”. These elect, are the anointed ones, the chosen royal priesthood of God. (1 Pet 2:5,9) (“elect”, Strong's G1588 – “chosen”) All the anointed priests, except those who have left or been disfellowshipped, are found in the organization. No other religion can be said to have in their midst, authentic anointed “kings of the earth”. (Rev 1:5; 5:9,10; 21:22-24) 
    How then, can the anointed be misled if they belong to the “Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses”? There have been many doctrinal changes throughout the years, all previously taught as truth, but later discarded. This is a clear sign of rotten fruit/teachings that governing leaders/false teachers offer to the flock. (Matt 7:15-19; John 15:7,8,16) One of the more recent changes concerned a new identity and appointment of the “faithful and discreet slave” – a “faithful steward” over the spiritual house of God. This “slave” has a large group of helpers, including all elders worldwide, who have been given the authority to rule over God’s anointed priests, basically backing them into a corner, and out of sight. (Isa 30:20) It has been clarified that the elder body “represent sthe royal priesthood”. This position created by men, cannot be “challenged”, as the provided wt. magazine states – w02 8/1 p. 13-14 
    Jesus is the chief cornerstone of the Temple/dwelling of God. (Isa 28:16; 1 Pet 2:6) With him, are the foundation stones of apostles and prophets. (1 Cor 3:10,11; Eph 2:20) As the years have gone by since the first century, faithful anointed “living stones” have been sealed into God’s spiritual House. (Matt 7:24; Eph 2:21,22; 2 Cor 1:22; Heb 12:22; Rev 7:4) 
    These anointed people were sent by Christ to teach and “witness” about his word of truth. (John 14:6; 13:20; Mal 2:7; Matt 28:18-20; 2 Cor 4:2; Eph 4:15;2 Tim 2:19) 
    Yes, the anointed are the authentic “witnesses” of God. Setting up a representation or substitute of this priesthood does not follow the teachings of Christ. Rather, in each account of the Bible where foreigners - Gentiles - entered the early temple, or those other than God’s chosen priesthood, acted as priests, destruction occurred. (Ezek 44:6-9;2 Chron 13:9) You may want to read the account of Korah as reiterated in the article I mentioned. (Num 16:3-7,10,11,18,20,21,35,40) 
    How would Jesus Christ view spiritual “Gentiles” replacing those whom he had already sent – those who are members of his spiritual Body? (2 Cor 11:4; Gal 5:25,24; 3:29; Rom 8:14,16,17) In the last days, the “man of lawlessness” sets itself up in the Temple of God. (2 Thess 2:3,4) It “stands where it does not belong”. (Mark 13:14; Rev 13: 5-7,18) This “man” is the elder body. “He” is the enemy from the north; not Russia, which targets JWs, anointed or not, in one country. (Joel 2:2,7-9; Rev 9:3-6) 
    The enemy of God’s people are those who surround them – all of them, which is the elder leadership in the organization. (Rev 20:7-10) If an anointed priest speaks against the teachings of the governing body because those teachings are wrong, they can be spiritually “killed” - judged by the elder body, and disfellowshipped. (Matt 24:48-51; Rev 13:11,12,15) The elders do not have God’s approval to remove His priests, and spiritually “sit”/rule over His dwelling in spirit. (1 Cor 3:16,17) If they did, would there be a need to state that the elders’ position as counterfeit “priests”, cannot be challenged? 
    John 16:2 – “They will put you out of the synagogues and make you outcasts. And a time is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering service to God.”
    These scriptures describe the anointed:
    “You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And my servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me.” Isa 43:10
    “You, like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Pet 2:5
    This priesthood should be busy teaching the truth – truth that is to remain, which was poured into their heart upon anointing. (John 15:16; 1 John 2:27) They are not to be submissive to men, who are appointed by men through the spurious use of God’s word. (Rom 14:4; Gal 1:10; Col 2:20-23; 2 Cor 11:20) Their spiritual offerings, or sacrifices of praise, should not be regulated or dissolved by a select few, who have replaced Jesus as their Head. (Dan 8:11,12; 11:31) 
    A faithful steward of a house gleans provisions from all sources. He is not the accountant and the cook, and gardener. He is the manager of all provisions offered by his fellow servants, and ensures their quality. (Luke 16:1,2; Rom 12:8; 1 Cor 4:1,2; Titus 1:7) 
    Jesus’ parable of a wicked steward that is too ashamed to “dig” or seek out provisions from Christs servants, is the present scenario in the organization today. (Luke 16:3) In their arrogance, only what is approved by the governing body as spiritual food, is offered. (Rev 13:11,12,17) What is interesting about this, is they don’t hesitate to utilize an “uncircumcised” “Gentile” writing committee to do their writing for them, yet they do not call on their anointed brothers and sisters to add their spiritual offerings. (Rom 2:28,29; Heb 8:10) Is it because they have no faith in what they cannot see? They see the men they have personally appointed, without letting the spirit of God direct them to those whom He has personally appointed through the anointing. (Eph 4:7-11) 
    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a special people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Pet 2:9
    “Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Pet 2:10
    Do you see who the authentic witnesses and holy people of God are? These people have been told that they cannot bond together to study the scriptures. (see wt 16/1 p. 24) Can you imagine Jesus Christ telling the members of his Body that they must not join together to study his teachings? (The entire chapter of 1 Cor 12)
    “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Eph 4:11-13
    The Body of Christ is the Temple and dwelling of God. (2 Cor 6:16) Are all JWs part of that temple? No, only spiritual “Israel”, whom Jesus has sent to teach the people His truths, not the doctrines of men. (Mal 2:7;1 Pet 2:9;1 Tim 1:3;6:3-5) If you can recognize this lawlessness of the elder body replacing and trampling down the appointed priesthood of God, you are to flee!
    Dan 11:31; Matt 24:15,16; 2 Thess 2:1-4; Rev 11:1-3 
    I’m sure you didn’t expect such a letter in response to yours. However, please consider the plight of God’s anointed people. They are “Israel”, and this spiritual nation has not only fallen into sin by accepting the leadership of a wicked slave, but have dedicated their lives to an organization as their way of salvation. (Jer 30:12-14; Exod 20:4;Acts 7:48;17:24,25,29-30; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:4) 
    You also, have been captivated by such lawlessness, prophesied to happen in the last days. (2 Thess 2:9-12; 1 Tim 4:1; Col 2:8; Rev 13:10; 18:4-8) 
    These anointed inside the organization, have been cut off from their Head, Jesus Christ. (Dan 8:25) But on the outside, God’s Temple of truth, “Zion”, under the direction of Jesus Christ, is being restored. Now, is the time of the restoration of “Jacob”. (Neh 1:7,9,10; Jer 30:3; Isa 48:20,21;49:5; 31:7; Mal 3:1; Matt 22:1-5,14; Jer 31:14)
