    Witness got a reaction from Dmitar in Like the Days of Noah...   
    I don’t know of any greater hate or opposition toward God’s people, than the hate directed toward the anointed priesthood in the organization, who ARE God's holy people.   Isa 43:10,21; 1 Pet 2:9; Mal 2:7; Heb 8:5; Rev 5:9,10  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa+43%3A10%2C21%3B+1+Pet+2%3A9%3B+Mal+2%3A7%3B+Heb+8%3A5%3B+Rev+5%3A9%2C10&version=CSB
     Your own words of doubt over their capabilities and assigned position to serve as God’s priests and shepherds, adds fuel to the fiery hate and jealousy the GB have toward God’s Temple members. (Matt 24:48-51; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3; 13:1,2,11,5-7)  I see no hate expressed by exjws here, toward the anointed or toward JWs in general.  
    Hate is a disease that permeates the hearts of all of you, through the actions of disfellowshipping of any who are victims of spiritual, emotional, and sexual abuse committed in the organization.  No one, should silently support the abuse of another if they truly loved them; yet your "loving brotherhood" willingly turns its back against hate crimes committed by your leadership.  It reminds me of the Jews who threw their garments in front of Saul (Paul), in support of his heinous deeds against God's holy people and the stoning of Stephen.  The remorse Paul felt when alert to his sins, must have been excruciating, his sins were undoubtedly a heavy sorrowful burden he carried, although knowing he was forgiven.   Acts 7:54-60  He felt the least deserving of God's grace out of all the apostles. (1 Cor 15:9)  Yet, his repentant heart learned to love.  What was a focal point of his preaching?  Repentance, as well as the turning to Jesus Christ;  which I believe was not just a coincidence.

    Excellent comment, and very sobering.  The "sun" represents Jesus Christ, the light of truth. 2 Pet 1:19; Mal 4:2; Hos 6:3; Rev 1:16 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Pet+1%3A19%3B+Mal+4%3A2%3B+Hos+6%3A3%3B+Rev+1%3A16&version=CSB
    These leaders are desperate to hang on to every JW who supports and feeds into their power and earthly treasures.   Light will overcome the darkness of these false prophet/teachers, snuffing it out permanently.  
    "This is what the Lord says
    concerning the prophets
    who lead my people astray,
    who proclaim peace
    when they have food to sink their teeth into
    but declare war against the one
    who puts nothing in their mouths.
    6 Therefore, it will be night for you—
    without visions;
    it will grow dark for you—
    without divination.
    The sun will set on these prophets,
    and the daylight will turn black over them.
    7 Then the seers will be ashamed
    and the diviners disappointed.
    They will all cover their mouths
    because there will be no answer from God."  Micah 3:5-7

    I assure you, all of it is happening.  The spiritual food offered on the blog link below,  is presented by an inspired servant of God and Jesus Christ, a "Jew" under the New Covenant.  Knowing truth and understanding of the last days, takes some work on our part.    God provides it if we sincerely ask, but sometimes out of our desire to see things develop as we envision they should, we may miss the door already opened to us, by Christ. 
     “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened"  Matt 7:7,8

    I have to share this quip from GB D. Splane's convention talk on apostates and the news medial.  
    "Now, Paul compares the Beroeans with the Thessalonians. What do we know about the Thessalonians? They didn’t have YouTube in those days, but at one point, the Thessalonians apparently heard a rumor that “the day of Jehovah” had arrived. Who circulated the rumor? An apostate? Maybe. But maybe it was just someone who had heard the rumor and passed it on without checking it out.
    APPARENTLY heard a rumor?
    Have you ever done that — passed on a report without checking the facts? I think all of us have to admit that we’ve been guilty of that at one time or another. But now, how did the Thessalonians react? They were alarmed. They were “quickly shaken from [their] reason.” We mustn’t let that happen to us. When you hear something, check it out; don’t just circulate it; don’t just believe it; check it out."
    All checked out, as you have done, and it isn't a rumor.  We can continue to circulate it.

    Oh sir, I’m not sure what you are wanting to see.  To his people, Jesus was not recognized as the Messiah.  He was scorned, ridiculed, and put to death.  The faithful anointed are treated the same way by their people in the organization. (Rev 11:1-3,7-10)  Presently, you won’t see the “true” anointed standing up in front of the world as the GB do, advertising an organization to come to.  They will not exalt themselves in such a flamboyant manner, gathering riches to build their organization.  They will not be organized whatsoever, through the parameters of an earthly organization. God does things His way, not by the way of man.   (Isa 55:8,9) 
    These faithful ones, would be speaking about the truth in Jesus Christ.  As servants of Christ, they would be revealing the understanding of Revelation, since these scrolls were promised to be opened to Christ’s servants in the last days. (Rev 1:1)  They would sound the alarm of the presence of the elder body/ man of lawlessness – the “disgusting thing” “sitting”/ruling over, standing where it does not belong, the Temple of God. (Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3; 13: 18) They would explain the need for God’s people to “come out of her” – away from the captivity of false teachings and idolatry. (Rev 18:4-8) They would exalt the Almighty God and His Son. Anyone, who desires truth and who seek it out, would be led to these ones, by the Father through Jesus, because they speak truth.  (John 6:37; 14:6)  They provide it for those who desire it. 
    Matt 24:15,16 –
    “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),
    then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”
    The “hills”/”mountains”, are the faithful anointed who are not only, the Temple/Zion, but are “living stones” of the Temple Mount Zion.

    This is already happening. That signal flag has been raised for those with eyes that see, and many have responded to the “fruit”, of the spiritual banquet God has provided. (John 15:16; Matt 22:1-13)  But, when the Harlot/false prophet is rejected by the organization,(Rev 17:15-18)  and the Wt. then goes down after a symbolic “one hour” of reign, (Rev 17:12) it is then that the flag/ “banner” will be prominent for all – ALL – from all nations who want to know God and His Son.  God will raise this banner, not man. (Isa 41:27; 13:1-5; Rev 17:14; Isa 5:26; 11:12; 2:2-4) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa+41%3A27%3B+13%3A1-5%3B+Rev+17%3A14%3B+Isa+5%3A26%3B+11%3A12%3B+2%3A2-4&version=CSB

    To the anointed, Paul said, 
    "If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints! 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
    4So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers? 6Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!
    7The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!"  1 Cor 6:1-8
    The organization gets around all of this truth in two ways, by stating that the elder body "represents the holy priesthood"...and now stating that every JW is the spiritual Temple of God - the Body of Christ.  1 Pet 2:5,9; Eph 2:20-22; 2 Thess 2:3,4,8-10
    New light, which will backfire once Christ exposes the man of lawlessness present in the organization.  
    1 Cor 3:16,17 - 
    "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
    If anyone [a]defiles ("destroys") the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."
    We can also keep in mind that the Spirit of God dwelling in the anointed heart, is a sign of inspiration, which the GB alone says they do not have.  How then, can their followers be inspired, if they aren't?

    New light, which will backfire once Christ exposes the man of lawlessness present in the organization.  
    1 Cor 3:16,17 - 
    "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
    If anyone [a]defiles ("destroys") the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."
    We can also keep in mind that the Spirit of God dwelling in the anointed heart, is a sign of inspiration, which the GB alone says they do not have.  How then, can their followers be inspired, if they aren't?

    It's amazing how this leadership imitates the Pharisees.

    🙂  The Bible can give us various descriptive terms of the same thing.  Example - a food store can also be called a market, a supermarket, grocery, mercantile or Walmart.  They are generally the same, but also give their own personal meaning to it.

    Witness got a reaction from Srecko Sostar in Was Jesus Anointed at His baptism ?   
    Although the anointed priests have a specific work cut out for them, (John 13:20; 1 Pet 2:5,9; Mal 2:7; Eph 4:4-13) which is to aid all in the Kingdom with life-giving truth from the Father and Jesus, (Rev 22:2,17)  Jesus promised that all faithful believers will “know the truth”.  John 8:32  That is only possible through the blessing of Holy Spirit.
     “If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always. 17 He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be inyou.”  John 14:15-17.
    The Holy Spirit doesn’t reside anywhere else, but in one’s heart, which means stating that the Holy Spirit as responsible for the “spirit-directed organization” is a fallacy, and rather, identifies an idol.  Who is guiding who?  Is this spirit-directed organization guiding the GB; or did the GB, “filled” with an evil spirit, “breathe” life into its idol?  Rev 13:11,12,15
    When Jesus spoke of those in the world who cannot receive truth, he was meaning the “world” of his people, who rejected him and his teachings. 
    How many teachings of Christ can we name, that have been rejected or twisted  by the Wt’s. leadership?  
    Where do we begin.

    The whole judicial process of 3 men taking you in the back room in secret is unbiblical.
    If after going to your brother or sister about their “problem” doesn’t work (Matthew 18:15), and after taking two others along and taking to them about said “problem” still doesn’t work (Matthew 18:16);
    then the church is to be involved in the matter:
    “If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.” Matthew 18:17.
    Well, who is “the church”? 
    The church the Body of Christ:
    “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions.” Colossians 1:24
    “He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.” Colossians 1:18
    When was the last time an anointed was involved in a judicial matter? All these judicial matters are supposed to be brought before the anointed body of Christ before any decision is made.
    Does this happen? No. Instead they get 3 men to judge you in secret. 
    The only trial ever recorded in the Bible which was done in secret was the trial of Jesus Christ. 
    “For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.” Ephesians 5:12
