Warning Letter

Dear Pearl,
I have been working on my disassociation letter and i was hoping that when I'm done (later today or tomorrow), you can review it. I realize that you're super busy too, so if you don't have the time, I understand.
I really enjoy reading your blog as i continue to learn so much; i only wish i had more time to comment!
Hope all is well. I often pray to Jah to keep you going so that you can continue to do the vital work he has appointed you to do!

MY REPLY:

I am glad you let me know about the letter you are planning. How this is handled is important.
We do not want to disassociate ourselves, anymore than the prophets in Israel wanted to leave Israel and not give them God's warning.
We want to send a letter to everyone we know, about the truth that can save, while we are still able to approach them. If you do this, you won't have to worry about being separated from them. Just as prophesied, they will disfellowship you for not worshiping the organization and it's lying doctrines.
See Rev.13:15-17:
"He (GB/"Wormwood"/false prophet) was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast (Image of "Gentile" Organization as spirit-directed priests) should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast (Man of Lawlessness), or the number of his name."

This will be fulfilled in your case, if you give everyone the proper warning of truth (Isa.59:15)
  We as "witnesses", previously learned and believed that we must do field service... even informal witnessing whenever possible.
What you now know is the real "good news" of salvation....the real warning of God's impending judgment!
Should we be any less faithful and diligent than these counterfeit false witnesses are?
I hope you will think about the things you are learning from the Bible...
think about where all the blind ones are heading...
and think about how you can tell them what they need to know in order to obey Christ
(Matt.24:15,16; Rev.18:4) (https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)
  If you send everyone in your congregation a letter.....
          (you can get their names from the bulletin board --service groups list, etc.,
           and then get their addresses from the internet or phone book)
....you will do far better in supporting the truth, the witness that needs to be given before the end, and being removed from the Congregation for the right reason....
not because you don't care about your "brothers and sisters", but because you do care, about trying to save their lives, by doing your best to warn them (Mark 8:35; 13:13).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2016/10/coming-to-life.html)
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/02/there-are-those-who-wonder-if-my_7388.html)
If you do this (as you can see from Rev.13:15,16,17), you will be thrown out, just like the faithful anointed are (John 16:2; Rev.11:7; 6:9) ...for loving your neighbor, telling the truth, and removing the mark of the Beast from yourself by refusing to continue worshiping it (Rev.15:2; 20:4) or let it's lies direct your faith and actions.
Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life."
Your reward will be great for confessing Christ before men (Matt.10:32,40,41,42; Luke 12:8).
This will make the best use of your sacrifice. It is far better to be persecuted for doing this good work, than for walking away from the lives of those you have known, as if you don't care about them. (1Pet. 3:17; 2:20; 4:19).
If you follow the Organization's protocol and let it dictate to you, how you will become separated from the Congregation; you are still letting the Beast tell you what to do and how to do it, and you are still marked on your right hand  by the Beast! 
http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/05/whose-slave-are-you.html
We don't care about the Organization's "dissociation" protocol. We obey our Heavenly Father. They just want us to go away without rocking their boat. We want to obey Yhvh by warning those who are being judged and are about to perish. We obey Yhvh, not men (Acts 5:29). Our desire is not to abandon our associations (which is how the elders want it to appear). Our desire is to save as many as might listen and wake up. Do not let the Organization change that desire, into what they want you to do. The faithful are "killed"/disfellowshiped....NOT for walking away, but rather, for speaking the truth!

The scriptures confide to us that not many will heed the final warning and find life (Luke 13:23,24; Matt.22:14; 7:14,21; Eze.3:7; Rev.13:8).
But we who perceive the danger to those asleep, are still obligated to sound the trumpet 

(Mark 13:36;  1Thess. 5:6;  1Cor. 14:8; Joel 2:1; Joel 3:9,11,12; Isa.58:1-2; Eze.3:11,18; 2:5; Rev.8:2).
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/07/hide-or-herald.html

We can be grateful to God that we are awake. But before we are cut off from those we leave behind, we must attempt to wake them up as well. (Eph.4:25;  2Tim. 4:2;  1Tim. 4:16) Make the best use of your fleeting opportunity! (Gal.6:10) Time is running out! (1Pet. 4:7;  2Pet. 3:11,12; Rev.18:4)

I hope this information helps. If you would like to read such letters (the ones me and Obadiah sent all in our congregation, including all the elders), they are here:
Pearl's letter
and
Obadiah's letter

According to your request, I would be happy to help or read your draft. I am praying for you, because I know this is a difficult trial. If you need any assistance, please just let me know. (Eze.2:6)
Love,
Pearl

persecution

Those perceiving truth, and wishing to draw away from the apostasy; are being confronted by their JW relatives. This is typically followed by a visit from the elders/locust-scorpions/representatives of the Wild Beast....followed by a judicial committee and expulsion (Rev.13:15,7,8). In response to one of these letters, I wrote the following letter. The scriptures it contains are good for us to keep in mind, when we are under such circumstances.
----------------------------------------------------------
My Reply:

What you are experiencing in your family was prophesied...(Luke 12:52,53).

Remember that Jesus warned us, that if we do not have our forehead or hand marked by the beast, it will search us out and "kill" us (Rev.13:15; John 16:2). Jesus knew that the Beast/Organization/elders, would not allow any middle ground. You must submit to the Beast or be killed. No one can get the upper hand or "win" in a battle against them (Rev.13:4). We do not expect to win them over to truth, because Jesus also tells us that the hearts of the elders are beyond reach (Rev.9:9).

I wanted to make known to you some things you may already know.
Please consider all these scriptural viewpoints...

1. You do not have to submit a "dissociation letter" or submit to a "judicial hearing" the way that the elders expect, due to "Organizational protocol".
They feel obliged to do things according to "organizational arrangements", but you are not under obligation to obey the beast. This obeying the beast is represented by the symbolic mark on the "right hand"....something we must avoid. If you decide to meet with them to give a witness, let it be your own choice.
2. Before you are disfellowshipped ("killed") you may want to take advantage of your present liberty of speech with the rest of the congregation, by giving a witness before you are shunned.
3. We may decide to imitate Jesus, by giving a witness, even though those who are blind (likely all who hear you) may never receive the truth you speak (Eze.2:7).
When Jesus said "he who confesses me/acknowledges me, before men", he was referring to what he said at John 14:6...
 "I am the way and the truth and the life."
When we acknowledge the Bible's truth before men (John 17:17)....the accurate way to God (Prov.14:12)...and the only means of survival through this great tribulation (the life) (Luke 21:36; Matt.24:24,25); we acknowledge Jesus Christ, who taught us these things.

I believe that the most important witness we give before our disfellowshipping "death", is not to the elders, but to the rest of those we know who are yet held captive (Rev.13:10,8; 12:9,16; Luke 21:35)
 (http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/earth-swallows-satans-river.html).
Yet Jesus gave a witness to all. This requires tremendous courage. We are given a warning when we consider doing this....
(Eze.2:6; Jer.1:8,17; Phil.1:28; Isa.8:18).  We should not be afraid of the rebellious who are facing God's judgment while they judge us (Rom.14:4; John 16:2; Matt.10:26;  2Pet.3:10). If we give in to fear, God will allow us to be terrified (Jer.1:17). We need to have strong faith that God will rid his creation of these resisters soon....that we are safe in his approval, and that our reward (treasures in heaven) is secure with God. Why should we fear what they can do? (Psalm 56:11; 118:6; Heb.13:6; Luke 12:4; Isa.2:22) Our reward is so close, and it is forever. Not so for enemies of God. Their shame and punishment is forever (Dan.12:2; Matt.25:46; Isa.66:24). This is why we pity and pray for them (Matt.5:44; Rom.12:14).

When we face such men of lies, who have presumed to take power and authority away from God and His chosen ones (1Cor.6:1,2,3; Rev.5:9,10;  2Chron.13:9; Eze.44:6,7,8,9; Rev.11:2; Dan.8:12);
we tend to get indignant and angry at what they do to the truth. Even Jesus felt this way (Matt.23). Despite these emotions, we try to do our best to "adorn the teaching". Even if our witness does not help to prevent the adverse judgment of any who hear us (Eze.3:5,6,7,8); they will know later, that God provided a fine witness to them through us (Jer.44:4; Eze.2:5,6; 33:33).

What I am saying is that you are not obligated to meet with them as they request, if you feel fearful.
If you decline, still find a way to give a witness, perhaps by means of a letter to as many as possible.
And by all means, DO NOT write a "dissociation letter" as the elders request of those who are "causing divisions".
(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/07/who-are-mentally-diseased.html)

(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/02/there-are-those-who-wonder-if-my_7388.html)

Make your "death" count for something!
To see why this lack of compliance is best,
please consider these links:

and
4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/08/here-is-answer-to-comment-that-was-left.html

If you meet with the elders, a good scripture to keep in mind is Luke 12:51, where Jesus himself said:
"Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division." ("a sword" Matt.10:34; Heb.4:12) (John 7:43; 9:16; 10:19) This "division" is a natural consequence, when falsehood faces truth. Being exposed to the truth will reveal each one's heart, and separate them based upon their love, or lack of love for truth (2Thess.2:9,10,11,12,13,14; Rev.2:4; 3:16). Division in itself is not sin. But when there is division, scriptural discernment must be applied. God's Word equips us to determine which side is falsehood/sin, and which is the truth (Matt.7:20; John 16:13,8; Mal.3:18).
(pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com)

Jesus wanted to divide truth from lies, so that the truth could be clearly discerned and followed. He never espoused unity with leadership, at the cost of Truth; but Truth over unity, and unity through truth.
For this (Matt.22:16; 23:13), Jesus suffered the condemnation of men, as an apostate (Matt.26:65). The Jewish leaders in covenant with God, looked to the Gentiles for support in dealing with Jesus (Matt.27:2; Isa.36:6; 31:1,3; Rev.11:8; Jer.17:5), just as the Ram/false prophet (Rev.13:11; Dan.8:4), relies on it's Gentile Beast (Rev.13:15; 11:7; 6:9). The first century Jewish leaders told Pilate that Jesus was perverting the nation from the true doctrine of Moses and the prophets (Luke 23:2); by spreading among them new notions, and false principles of religion; whereby he was a trouble maker of God's Israel, as Ahab charged Elijah (1Kings 18:17).
But in order to interest the Romans in executing Christ, they also accused him of "forbidding the giving of tribute to Caesar", which was a lie (Matt.22:21; 17:24,25,26,27). We too, are falsely slandered, shamed, and "killed" (Eze.22:8,9; Lev.19:16; Hosea 6:9; Rev.11:7,8,9,10; 6:9,11)...accused of refusing to give due tribute to the Image of the Gentile beast Organization (Rev.13:15,8; 19:20). The false prophet ("two horned" wild beast) uses it's power ("key"/"realm"), to sanction the "ten-horned" wild beast to "kill" on it's behalf (Rev.13:15 A; Rev.8:10,11; 9:1; Isa.28:15).
The authority and power of the false prophet/"two-horned beast", is symbolized as "fire from heaven" -Rev.13:13 (divine judgment)
("Fire from Heaven").
The two-horned false prophet empowers the Gentile Wild Beast with "breath" ("spirit-directed" Image) to be it's own instrument of judgment  and capital punishment.
(Rev.13:15 A; Dan.11:31; 8:11,12,24; Rev.13:7).
By imbuing the image of the Beast with spirit, it appears to be "spirit directed" by God's Holy Spirit, but it is not.  This Beast kills the faithful followers of Jesus.

Only Jesus Christ can breathe Holy Spirit into his faithful chosen followers (John 20:22,23), giving them the power to judge (Rev.20:4; Matt.16:19; 18:18;  1Cor.6:2,3).

The faithful anointed are expected to follow in Christ's footsteps, including his shameful condemnation by the religious leaders of God's people (John 16:1,2,3,4; Heb.13:13; Rom.6:5; Phil.3:10;  1Cor.4:13;  2Cor.6:8 C; Rev.6:9,10,11; 11:8,9,10) and "execution" at the hands of Gentiles (Rev.11:7,10; 20:4).
("What is 'Jew'?. What is 'Gentile'?")
Do not expect Satan to let any faithful disciple (anointed or non-anointed), to slip by without being persecuted (2Tim.3:12; Luke 22:31). As with Job (Job 1:9,11,12), God allows this testing/sifting/cleansing/discipline (Amos 9:9; Haggai 2:7;  1Cor.3:13; Mal.3:1,2,3; Rev.3:18,19; Matt.3:11;  1Pet.4:1; Heb.5:8), to a responsive, symbolic "one-third" (Rev.2:9,10; Zech.13:9; Rev.9:15,20).

You are correct. Although it seems we face Satan's wrath alone (as Jesus felt while he was dying -Matt.27:46; 26:31); in truth, we are proving who we are, without any support or cheating (Matt.4:1; John 14:30; 16:33; 17:15). God's spirit does help us where needed, but the test is for us, and the reward is for our own faithfulness under test (1Cor.3:13; James 1:14;  1Cor.10:13; Rev.3:12,21). God can not do this for us. In choosing to take a righteous stand in our own heart and actions, for the God of Truth;
we prove whom and what we love, and which Master we choose to belong to, despite the adversity this brings. Nothing less is expected of those who will be found faithful by Christ.

(Another helpful link pertaining to current false charges:
http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/07/who-are-mentally-diseased.html)

My point is that while we feel alone, we have in spirit, the company of all those who have proven faithful, from Abel forward (Heb.12:1;  1Pet.5:9). When we enter the new world, we will joyfully see how many loyal ones of strong faith, belong to our new family.
Please keep in touch throughout your trial.
Love and prayers in your behalf,
Pearl
May all readers pray for those enduring the great tribulation....that they may have courage and strong faith to please our heavenly Father's face. (Luke 21:28;  2Cor.4:17)

Give a Warning!

Here is the answer to a comment that was left:

COMMENT:

Hello Pearl!

I can only thank Jah that i found you! After seventeen years as a JW, i found myself so disturbed and distraught (i.e., sighing and groaning) over what was going on that i just couldn't bring myself to attend the meetings anymore. Prior to my departure, i discerned that much of the Society's liturature was laced with poison so i completely stopped reading any of it and began studying the scriptures only. What a difference that made! While i secretly never agreed with some of the Governing Body's official doctrines, policies and procedures (i viewed them as unscriptural, even idolatrous in some cases), when i realized that they couldn't possibly be the "faithful and discreet slave" (that is a future designation and only Jah/Jesus appoint these individuals, not themselves), I got the last bit of courage needed to finally leave and begin searching. Eventually i found your blog and now check it nearly everyday for any new information. A very close friend of mine who has also left after nearly twenty years as a JW (she just couldn't deal with it emotionally/mentally anymore) also reads your blogs and is as electrified as I am to be finally experiencing the true meaning of the "light getting brighter"!

So here's my question: How do we sound the warning that you mentioned? Since it's likely that no one on the inside will listen, what good will it do? Besides, you said yourself that a Christian is not obligated to sow seed among thorns. So while I have the desire to help others get out of symbolic Jerusalem, I do not know how to go about it nor do i see any point in it. Simply mentioning that i was no longer attending meetings (besides making a brief comment about the hypocrisy in the congregation) was enough for one person --someone i considered a good friend previously--to immediately cease all association with me. Thus, even hinting at the idea that the Organization is not all that its cracked up to be will send 99.9% of 'em running with their thumbs in their ears!

Please advise...Thank You!

REPLY:

I also, am greatly relieved to hear that you have found the truth, which I myself am so grateful to YHVH's spirit for. There are those who read it and recognize none of the truth of the cited scriptures...and then there are expressions like yours, which reveal eyes and ears that are open, and a consciousness of their spiritual poverty (Matt.5:3).
This need is keen during this spiritual famine and drought (Amos 8:11; Rev.6:6; 18:8; 12:14)...yet the spiritual pestilence that strikes others with blindness and an inability to hear, keeps them sick and unaware of their dire need (Matt.13:15; Rev.3:17; 6:8). The senseless are the great majority 

(Matt.7:13,14; Luke 13:23,24; Matt.24:22; Ps.94:17,5,8,12,13,14,16,18,20,22,23,20,21; Rev.20:9,7,8,9; 13:15; 11:7; 6:9,11). 

So to hear that my labors, (and that of other faithful) are reaching some, is of great refreshment, and relief to my grief (Matt.10:42).

The Bible reads;
"But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him. Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment."  2Pet. 2:7-9  (Eze.9:4)

"The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."  2Chron. 16:9 A

We see from these three scriptures that Yhwh will not abandon those whose heart is exclusively devoted to Him. He delivers them by His strength (2Chron. 16:9). His spirit can bring them to the truth (John 6:44; 14:6)...as He does for each faithful anointed one, as well as all those who may accept the "fine fruit" the faithful witnesses offer (Matt.10:40,41,42; Matt.7:20; Rev.11:3,4).

Regarding your question...
Yhwh has begun to make me aware of what I must do, as well as how to do it. You are right that God's "Land" must be warned (Jer.25:30,29; Rev.2:20; 13:14). It is true that Satan has erected a wall around God's people. It would seem impossible to penetrate that wall with the judgment message.
Remember the wall of Jericho? That prophecy will be fulfilled in it's grandest meaning, in our very day (Josh.6:8,13; Rev.8:6). I am going to ask everyone whose heart inclines him to obey Eze.33:7,8 to be a part of the upcoming universal witness. For, it is the final one to be given.
I am talking to another anointed one about how Holy Spirit is guiding this final warning. I will most certainly post all the details, as we become certain of how to do this in harmony with Yhvh's approval.
The wall of Jericho fell, partly due to the blowing of the 7 horns of the priests (Joshua 6:8).
This final wall of false teachings, which holds captive God's Called Ones, falls by the same means, as symbolized in Revelation (Rev.8:6).

"Whether they hear, or whether they refrain" the warning must be given (Eze.2:5). This warning will be the main tool used to harvest the remaining wheat of anointed, upon which the arrival of the Kingdom awaits (Rev.14:14,15,16; 6:11). It is a very important activity, and I hope everyone possible will offer themselves to support it.

The lives of those whom we regard as our "brothers and sisters", as well as the anointed who are still asleep and in chains, hangs in the balance.

In fact it would be good to consider all of Ezekiel chapter 2, because it brings up the very "thorns" you mention...

Eze.2:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10:
And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. (Rev.9:3; Eze.2:6) Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.
But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe." 

(Rev.8:13; 20:12)

So while we are not obligated to cast pearls before swine; we need to discern who those swine, dogs, "thorns" and "scorpions" are.

    https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/06/dogs.html

YHVH tells us in Rev.9:3,5,7.

These are the ones bearing what seems like "crowns" of authority...an army that goes forth as multitudinous as a locust swarm. Their target? The "unsealed men"...anointed previous to their being sealed. Why unsealed? Because they are obviously still under the domination of these "Locust/Scorpions" instead of Yhvh. Only by being set loose (Rev.9:14) from this smoke-like river of Satan's sons and their lies (Rev.12:15; 9:11; John 8:44;  2Thess. 2:3,9; Rev.12:3,9; 13:1,14,6); can these chosen ones become sealed as loyal to Yhvh (Rev.20:4).
  Yet we see from Eze.2 that a witness still has to be given to the "rebellious house". This is the light.....although these empowered Locust/Scorpions exist, we may not conclude that all "Jehovah's Witnesses" are these "thorns". Only the elders are depicted as having counterfeit crowns of authority. These ones are the "thorns" and "scorpions". Yhvh tells us that they are beyond conversion to truth, by the "breastplates of iron" which they wear (Rev.9:9). 
While the entire "house"/"land"/"fold" of God's people are blinded by these insect vessels of darkness (Rev.9:2,3; Jer.25:29,30; Rev.12:16) and it causes them to leave loyalty to Yhvh; not all are those insects of authority/elders.
We can not condone the idolatry of "Jehovah's Witnesses", nor continue to remain in company with them (Psalm 26:4;  1Cor. 5:11; Rev.18:4). But Ezekiel chapter 2 is clear....we must witness to them this final warning.

Jesus clearly showed me that the great majority will not heed the warning...not because we did not reach them with it, but due to their own hardened hearts, they stand as judged. Yhvh abandons them to their own desire. (Luke 17:28-37>LINK;  2Thess. 2:11; Ps.94:23)
I hope you can see why this warning needs to be given....
It saves us individually from blood-guilt. It establishes Yhvh's justice in condemning the wicked (who were first given warning). It saves those who can hear. It seals the rest of those who prove faithful, as well as the unfaithful "ten kings" who side with the Beast. All...extremely important events of prophecy!
I hope all who possibly can, will help. As I said, I will post details as they are established.

Your comments about the reaction of those marked by the Beast, help to illuminate the true identity of the Organization within prophecy. There is no other authority and power on earth, that has this control over people's minds and actions, as does this Wild Beast of Rev.13:8,15,16. We are seeing the fulfillment of that prophesied displaced loyalty and worship of the Wild Beast, right before our own eyes! God's Kingdom draws near!

---------------------------------------------

Here is an excellent example of such a letter,
recently written and sent out, by one of our readers:

"Gaining bible knowledge through reading and study was
something I deeply cherished as a Jehovah’s Witness.  But as my comprehension grew over time, so
did my troubles with a restless conscience.
Specific information I read in the publications, and particular
statements repeated by elders and others on a regular basis didn’t appear to be
supported scripturally; likewise for certain mandated procedures that were
carried out each week, month, etc.  But
the real source of the cognitive dissonance I struggled with for years was a
couple of rules I bumped into not long after my baptism over 17 years ago--the
two most important rules for JW’s:  1.
obey the Governing Body as if they are God himself 2. Accept and comply with
all Watchtower teachings, even when they deviate from the scriptures. The
publications, elders, etc. never stated these directives in such
straightforward terms, but they were fully understood by the rank and file
nonetheless. Why the issue? These rules required me to obediently “follow the
leader” regardless of whether it bothered my conscience to do so.  This was not what I dedicated my life to God
for and in fact, such requirements were completely incongruous with what I was
preaching to individuals of other faiths.
The same bible verses were recited time and time again to the Lutheran,
Catholic and Mormon:  obey God as ruler
rather than men; be faithful even in what is least; be sure of all things; test
every inspired expression; do not put your trust in men.  I wanted to help all I met in the ministry to
understand that blind complacency was not acceptable according to God’s
word.  “True” Christians must:  1. carefully and independently scrutinize all
church teachings, policies and procedures 2. Defy church authorities and their
organizational protocols when it is evident that scriptural directives are not
being followed 3. Cancel church membership if necessary.  Needless to say, the imposed double standard
--do as I say, not as I do--made it increasingly difficult to engage in the
door to door ministry. How could I tell anyone to do these things when I wasn’t
doing them myself?

From the beginning right up to the present, the Organization
has been well-known for its countless flip-flops/revisions/discards, etc. in
doctrines, policies, and procedures, as well as numerous failed predictions. So
I am simply drawing attention to the obvious by pointing out that Watchtower
leadership is wrong at times.  As
mentioned, my biggest issue was that I was required to “follow the leader”,
i.e., accept and comply with absolutely everything the Governing Body and
elders told me to--despite the frequent changes and inconsistencies, and
despite the fact that doing so meant I had to not only ignore my bible-trained
conscience, but ignore God as well.
There were times when I went out on a limb and discussed my concerns
with a few individuals, but the response was always the same:  Wait on Jehovah.  Put another way, do what the elders and
Governing Body tell you to do no matter what; Jehovah will straighten things
out in his own due time. (sound familiar?)This stock answer never made sense to
me so one day I decided to do a bit of research (Acts 17:11;  1John 4:1)

It didn’t take long to see that such thinking was entirely
out of sync with God’s word, and the following explains why.  According to the Gospels, the leaders of
God’s covenant people had once again strayed from his Word by establishing
their own standards of righteousness and, as in times past, Jehovah wasn’t
happy about it. His feelings on the matter where made known by Jesus’ scathing
denunciations, but more than anything else, he condemned them for their
self-righteous arrogance and hypocritical double standards. (Matt. 3:9; 23:3,13-32; Romans 2:17-24)
As you know, the story ends with the destruction of the
temple in Jerusalem--God’s divine execution of justice upon his unfaithful
people, his “ channel” which, interestingly, wiped out the lives of not only
the Jewish religious leaders, but the rank and file as well, i.e., those who
had trusted and obeyed these men rather than God. From this information, one
can draw the following conclusion: We will all be individually accountable to
the Lord on judgment day, regardless of our religious affiliation (2Cor.5:10).
Therefore, no individual, nor group of individuals, nor
religious organization is exempt from God’s judgment, regardless of what anyone
may claim to the contrary (Matt. 3:9; 7:21-23) There is no salvation,  no “ark” of safety, in any religious
organizations nor the leaders who guide them consequently. (Psalms 146:3, 4)
The tragic death of each and every rank and file Jew that perished in Jerusalem
in 70 CE is a sobering reminder of what awaits those who think otherwise, who
erroneously believe the following:
1. Membership in a particular religious
organization provides divine protection and exemption from some of the
scriptural requirements they teach others to live by (Acts 10:34; Romans 2:21)
2.  Absolute, rather than relative
subjection to their religious leaders equates to obedience to God and Christ.
Remember, giving allegiance and loyalty to anyone or anything other than Jah
first, constitutes spiritual fornication, idolatry--something He does not
tolerate. (Exodus 20:3; Ephesians 5:5; Rev. 14:4a)
Think about this the next
time you compliantly promote Watchtower dogma that is not supported scripturally
(Ephesians 4:25), or follow organizational procedures that violate bible
principles, because you have probably done these things over and over again
with little or no thought as to the potential consequences.  I did.
For years, I tried to silence that little inner voice and faithfully do
whatever I was told in order to demonstrate obedience to the “Slave” and
maintain a good standing in the congregation.
It’s truly ironic that for 17 years, I was vigilant in avoiding any sort
of political and/or nationalistic demonstration of allegiance or loyalty for
fear of committing idolatry; and yet for 17 years, I made sacrifices, not to
God, but to an image –a religious organization.

But what about the verses that say we must speak in
agreement and be submissive to those taking the lead (1 Corinthians 1:10;
Hebrews 13:7), or the one that mentions the light getting brighter (Prov.4:18), you may ask.  Well think about
this: since Jah never lies or contradicts, his principles, rules and prophecies
are consistent and unchanging, even if this doesn’t always appear to be the
case. Like a beautiful masterpiece in a dimly lit museum, the many intricacies
of God’s immutable truths cannot be seen nor fully appreciated without a bright
light--a divine luminary that dissipates the shadows of unenlightenment over
time. (Psalms 36:9; 43:3) So even though we may not comprehend everything we
read in God’s Word, we can still draw the conclusion that Jah does not require
anyone to blindly “follow the leader” and/or maintain hypocritical double
standards in worship.  If the inverse
were true, verses such as Acts 5:29, Psalms 146:3, and  1John 4:1 would not be
in the bible. With this in mind, why is it that JW’s hang on the Governing
Body’s every word, never questioning any of their claims, yet exhort their
neighbors to carefully scrutinize everything their religious leaders say and
do? After much thought, I believe I have formulated a reasonable
explanation.  Consider the following.

As a student of the bible, I can say with confidence that
neither Proverbs 4:18 nor any verse indicates that Jehovah is directly or
indirectly responsible for the Governing Body’s long track record of
contradictions, flip-flops in
understanding , major policy changes (e.g., organ transplants), failed predictions,
etc. To even imply anything to the contrary is clearly misleading, for this
suggests that the Organization’s consistent misrepresentation of the scriptures
is due to Jehovah’s slowness in shedding light, rather than the real reasons  -
presumptuousness, lack of holy spirit, arrogance, etc. on the part of
the GB.  And yet, each time these changes
occur, Proverbs 4:18 is cited in the related Watchtower articles and quoted in
talks from the podium, leading JW’s to believe that these men are not directly
responsible for any errors they make (because it’s God’s doing).  This raises the GB to the level of
infallibility, which is the very reason why you and many others mechanically
“follow the leader”, regardless of how much or how often they deviate, revamp,
revise, scrap, screw-up, etc. A similar process takes place in the case of
Hebrews 13:7, 1 Corinthians 1:10, and other verses such as Psalms 42:5. When
considered within the context of the biblical canon, not a single verse,
illustration, or account indicates that JW’s are under divine obligation to
comply with the GB’s every dictate –right or wrong (Acts 5:29). Even hinting
that the inverse is true is nothing less than a deceptive, megalomaniacal
attempt to alter God’s universal hierarchy of authority in the minds of
spiritually-inclined individuals (1 Corinthians 11:3) And yet, the GB does just
that and more in order to perpetuate the lie that absolute, rather than
relative subjection to their headship equates to obedience to God and Christ.  These eisegeses and others are consistently
and frequently dispensed via the talks, publications, etc. week after week,
month after month, and year after year.
In fact, during one particular meeting, a highly respected elder
declared, “Whatever comes out of the mouth of the Slave, you consider that as
coming out of the mouth of Jehovah.” In light of the foregoing, such grandiose
claims are utter blasphemy (Jah NEVER lies --Romans 3:4). What’s even worse is
the fact that compliance with these mistruths and others is strictly enforced
much in the same way the Catholic Church once sanctioned any who challenged its
unscriptural dogmas, policies, and practices.
Apostate branding, public humiliation, removal from the congregation and
shunning by JW family members and friends is the outcome that awaits all who
dare to listen to their consciences and loyally uphold God’s word (Acts 5:29).
These shameful implements of evil have led to mental and emotional problems,
serious physical ailments, and even death among a significant number of
disfellowshipped JW’s. Taking all this into account, it’s no wonder Jehovah’s
Witnesses practice hypocrisy!

If you have no problem being deceived, lied to, manipulated
and controlled by fear, you are where you should be—in the Organization of
Jehovah’s Witnesses. However, if, like me, you have experienced a crisis of
conscience due to the unscriptural autocratic style of governance the
Organization wields, DO NOT IGNORE IT. God has given you a conscience for a
reason, so it is vitally important that you use it as HE intended.  Here’s how:
1. Read and study your bible exclusively and independently 2.
Independently research the history of the Organization and current and past
Watchtower doctrines, policies, and procedures, paying particular attention to
the frequent flip-flopping, revisions, etc.
3. Independently and carefully verify all information that is dispensed
via the publications and public talks, rejecting anything that is not solidly
backed by God’s word.  Be particularly on
guard for statements that tell you to accept and/or comply with whatever you
are told, even if it doesn’t make sense, add-up, etc. 4. Practice what you
preach!  Refuse to hypocritically teach
others to apply bible standards that you are not fully complying with yourself
(e.g., preaching  1John 4:1 but not applying it) 5. Refuse to commit
idolatry/spiritual fornication by complacently “following the leader” when you
know or even sense that doing so requires, or may require, disobedience to God
and his word (Remember, he who is faithful in what is least, is faithful in
what is most!)  6. Refuse to be
intimidated and controlled by family, friends, elders or anyone else that
attempts to frighten you into remaining in subjection to the Organization
rather than Jehovah 7. Pray to God for strength and courage to do what is right
according to his word.  If you are
unclear by what I mean by “independently”, let me explain.  Rather than relying on the Organization’s
self-published material to verify the accuracy of the Organization’s
assertions, claims etc., seek out sources that are not controlled by, nor
affiliated with the Watchtower. This is what Jah wants you to do and it’s what
you tell others to do! (Acts 17:11;  1John 4:1) Verify, test, check--just as
you would if you were buying a vehicle.
Rather than rely on the salesman’s claims, you would consult independent
and objective sources of information like Consumer Reports or carfax.com,
before making the decision to buy.    

What is the purpose of this letter? I assure you it is in no
way an attempt to subvert your faith in God. To the contrary, it is a plea to
fully trust and comply with God’s Word, regardless of the consequences (fear of
man is what lays a snare).  And it is a
warning. If you continue to remain in the Organization and complacently accept
whatever you are spoon-fed, you are pleasing men, not Jehovah…. and you are in
danger.  The tragedy that befell God’s
unfaithful anointed in the first century foreshadows future events that will
befall God’s modern-day, unfaithful anointed remnant and all those (the rank
and file) who put their faith and trust in them.  I realize JW’s are taught to believe that
Christendom is modern day apostate Jerusalem, but this simply isn’t so. If
that’s the case, God’s anointed remnant is in Christendom, not the Organization
of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  This is a
critical point because it involves you on a very personal level.  How?
According to the scriptures, wherever the anointed are is precisely
where the apostasy and subsequent judgment will occur. So then, if the remnant
is located in your religious organization, the foretold apostasy will also
occur within your religious organization. Ask yourself:  why did Jehovah spare the Samaritans –the
“pagan half-Jews”--when he brought destruction upon his covenant people in 70
CE?

According to the pattern set in the first century, the
purpose of the modern day apostasy is to fully test the anointed. (Mal.3:2,3)  Whether they qualify to co-rule
mankind in the future will be determined by whom they ultimately choose to
serve –Jah or their unfaithful religious leaders.  The Revelation prophesies and many others
reveal this tuggle war of loyalty
(Matt.4:8, 9; John 14:30; 18:36; Rev.1:5; 5:10; 6:15; 16:12,14; 17:2,10,12,14,18; 18:3,9; 19:16-19; 20:4,6; 21:24; 22:5).
On one side is Satan and the
unfaithful anointed who, like the Pharisees, deviate from God’s word (and
deceive the rank & file into doing the same), and on the other, Christ and
his faithful anointed who loyally uphold Jah’s standards even unto death
(Revelation 2:10).  Sadly, the vast
majority of those on the battle lines will not prevail because they are on the
losing side, caught in the same trap that Satan set in the first century:  a religious organization that appears to have
God’s approval.

This information (preceding two paragraphs) is not of my own
originality but comes from anointed brothers and sisters--yes, members of the
body of Christ--who have been kicked out of the Organization for refusing to
comply with unscriptural doctrines, policies, and practices.  Many of these faithful ones wrote letters to
the Governing Body about these matters, but they were ignored.  How do you think Jehovah feels about
that?  Well, how did He feel when Jesus
and his disciples were thrown out of the synagogues? (John 16:2)

In closing, I want to
point out that I still worship Jehovah God (and no, I’m not a
Trinitarian).  And I still care about
you; this is the sole reason why you have personally received this
information.  Should you desire to
discuss any of the points presented here in greater detail, or simply need a
listening ear and some loving support, please don’t hesitate to contact
me.   All communication will be
completely confidential so you don’t have to worry.

All My Love,

Xxxxx"

Who Gathers and Partakes? / Abandon your "cloak"

A letter I received:

I just need clarity on one thing and I hope you can help, Pearl.
According to the scriptures Jesus had the "Last Meal" with the 11 apostles, faithful men whom he had "chosen" (John 6:70; 15:19,16).

Jehovah's Witnesses across the world commemorate this event on Nisan 14 on a yearly basis and during the evening all are invited and there are "chosen" men and women whom have been baptised with the holy spirit, and non-anointed also with them.

Since we, who know the truth and are progressing in the divine light of truth, who have obeyed Rev 18:4 we should keep in mind the words recorded in Matt.24:15,16,17 flee to the mountains and not go in to get our belongings as their valuable things might be tainted by false beliefs. 

Back to the "Lord's Meal" are there any scriptural basis for non-anointed to be present with the anointed like Jehovah's Witnesses do? We should bear in mind that Jesus Christ had the opportunity to invite all he met and was with during the day before sunset and yet did not do so.

If we are to follow in Jesus' footsteps 1Peter 2:21 then we must observe the commandment given to the apostles very closely. Anointed should meet and observe this commandment on their own, with Jesus  Matt.18:20. 

Thank you
Modise 
---------------------------

My response:

Hello Modise,

Yes, those to whom Christ offered the unleavened bread and wine, were chosen to enter the covenant which that the wine represented and established (Mark 14:12,17,23-24; John 15:19;  1Pet. 2:9; Rev.17:14) (Ps.91:13; Luke 10:19-20;  1John 5:18; Luke 9:1-2; Mal.2:7; Rev.5:10). 
Jesus described those chosen for that covenant, as those who "stuck with me in my trials" 
(Luke 22:28-29;  2Tim. 2:12; Rev.3:21,10; Matt.24:22,13;  1Cor. 15:24-25,57). 
Such an adherence to Christ, was to his example and path (Luke 22:28; Rom.8:17;  1Pet. 4:13; 2:21; Rev.1:9), which continued to be the standard of victory, for all those to be chosen by Christ; both then, and since (Rev.14:4-5; Ps.91:13; Rev.12:11,10,7-9;  1John 2:14; John 16:33; 14:30;  1Cor. 6:2-3; 15:57) (John 20:29; 17:20; Rev.12:11;  1Pet. 1:8; Eph.1:12-13; Rev.14:12). 
As you may reason from the foregoing scriptures, those whom Christ invited to the last supper and inauguration of the New Covenant...
    [by virtue of his blood/wine (Luke 22:20; Zech.9:11; Matt.24:22) 
    (Heb.13:20; Phil.3:10; Rom.6:5; Rev.6:9,11), which they accepted], 
...were not of the general public, such as those who are invited to comprise the audience that attend the Kingdom Halls, each year.

1Cor. 11:33 makes plain, that those who gather, are gathering to "eat". The occasion therefore, is a gathering of partakers... the actual members of the Body of Christ/Temple of Christ's Body (1Cor. 10:17; 12:27-29; Eph.2:20-22;  1Pet. 2:5,9-10) (John 2:21;  1Cor. 3:16; Eph.1:22-23; 4:11-12; Col.1:18,24; 2:19; John 15:4-5). 

Failure to exercise clear perception about our personal inclusion (or exclusion) regarding the Body members of Christ, (including discernment about who gathers and who partakes of that "Body" -1Cor. 10:17), is to be judged (1Cor. 11:29,27-28; Rom.12:5-8).

As is clear from the Bible's first-hand account of the Lord's last Supper, there was not a mix of attendees that included the curious public. Neither were there Romans who officiated over Christ and the apostles, as the Gentile "elders" officiate over anointed partakers, today ("Jews" -Rom.2:28-29; Gal.3:29) (Jew-Gentile) (Dsgstg-thing) (Matt.24:15;  2Thess. 2:4) (who-are-gods?). 
Not even all those who had put faith in Jesus were in attendance (John 12:11; 7:31; 11:45; 12:18,42) (Luke 22:14-15), but only those whom Jesus had declared as "chosen" members of his Body, as Bride (Matt.19:6;  1Cor. 6:17; John 14:20; 17:23; 15:7,4) (Rev.12:1; Dan.12:3; Rev.7:4; Isa.49:17-18; 52:1; 61:10; Rev.19:8; 3:4) (Rev.12:1; Gal.3:27; Mal.4:2; Luke 1:78; Rev.22:16; 2:28; Isa.60:1; Jer.30:17).
Had the first Memorial been an open invitation, there would have been many attendees (Matt.21:8,11,46). Could a lack of accommodations be the reason why Jesus kept the number, sparse? No. Jesus had no problem accommodating a crowd (Matt.14:19).

Next you say that "JWs" hold the Memorial on Nisan 14. Yet this year, that is not true. According to calculations, they actually held it on Nisan 15 this year. I don't understand the basis for that decision. You may also be interested in learning about the original day of the Memorial, and that Jesus did not celebrate it on Nisan 14. To learn about that from the scriptures, please consider this article: (The Memorial - When?)

I appreciate your mention of Matt.24:15-16, and the urgent warning to flee. As you say, Jesus told us not to worry about things we leave behind, as if they had more value than our lives (as Lot's wife did) (Luke 17:31-32). 
At Matt.24:18, it tells us to abandon our "cloak", or, our outer garment (Luke 6:29; Matt.5:40). Our outer garment symbolizes our outward appearance to men... our identity and reputation according to their estimation (outer-garment). 
But our hidden inner undergarment/"tunic", is our own mind and heart (John 19:23; Ps.86:11; Matt.22:37; John 14:31; Ps.45:7), which is unseen unless we reveal it, to others (1Pet. 3:4). But our inner garment, is always exposed to the eyes of God (Heb.4:13; Jude 1:23; Isa.64:6,10; Mal.3:2).
When Jesus tells us to abandon our cloak, when it is time to flee;
we must be willing to surrender our identity and repute before men (Luke 6:29; Matt.10:28; Rev.2:9-10; Rom.2:29), as Jesus was willing (Isa.53:9; Heb.12:2-3; 13:13; 11:26;  1Pet. 2:23; Mark 13:13; John 16:2; Matt.23:34-35; Rev.18:24; 11:7-10; Isa.57:1). 
When it is time to "flee", we must not be concerned about salvaging our reputation among those blind, deaf, and
condemned by God (2Thess. 2:11; John 12:40)... seeking to retain our "outer garment" (Matt.24:18; Mark 8:35).

Although Luke 6:29 and Matt.5:40 may seem like opposite statements; both are applicable. 
If our identity in the Congregation of "JW's" is demanded of us through disfellowshipping, we also surrender our inner thoughts in an attempt to profess a thorough witness of truth to our executioners, before our "deaths" 
  (symbolic-death) 

    (search.result:hide-or-herald) 

      (give-a-warning) 

        (warning-letter) 

          (keep-awake).

If our inner thoughts are first requested by such "elders", we must also be willing to surrender our outward standing in the Congregation, as a consequence (Matt.10:32-33; John 14:6; Eze.33:8-9; Eph.4:25; Zech.3:8,3-4; Rev.7:14; 3:18; 19:8).

Neither the treasured "tunic" nor the "cloak" we leave behind, will prove to be of any lasting value, if we esteem them as of greater worth than Christ's command to "Flee" (Isa.51:7-8; 61:10,7; Ps.25:3). 
We must do so, as soon as we "catch sight" of the disgusting thing causing desolation to the "holy place" 
(Matt.24:15; Dan.8:24,11;  2Thess. 2:4;  1Cor. 3:16; Luke 21:24; Rev.13:10,7; 11:2) (dsgstg-thing). 
The treasures of Christ, are always worth more than what we leave behind (Col.2:2-3; Matt.6:20).

Thank you for your faith filled expressions.

I hope in my heart that our Father continue to uphold you in faith, truth, and peace.

Love in Christ,

Pearl

Coping with the Great Tribulation

Below is my reply to a letter I received. I have posted it for the beneficial scriptural thoughts it contains.
It gives a few constructive ways to respond to our time of "sifting", so that we can make best use of this limited time.

    For those who would like to listen to our meeting coverage of this post, I will link those recordings in each section that is covered.

    [First section recording: 

        (https://soundcloud.com/user-192860936/22-oct-2023-19-03-54-edt-1boradmtjvuj)]

My Reply:
Hello,
I am glad to hear that you are making progress in Bible truths, despite our indoctrination from the "synagogue of Satan". God has foretold and promised, that righteous people will be "taken" to an invitation to the "marriage feast", which is served outside the apostate "city" (wherein the "disgusting thing" reigns -(dsgstg-thng)
[(Jer.3:14-15; Luke 17:34,35,37; Matt.24:28; Rev.11:8; 6:9]
[(keep-awake)] (Matt.24:16; Eze.36:8) 
[(Matt.22:9-10 Greek: "diexodous")(LINK)] [(LINK)]. 
Yet once outside the "city", we are still under test in the "wilderness". Some will fall, even after their recognizing the identity of the "Beast", and their expulsion from it. So I continue to pray for these whom God has blessed with eyes and ears... those granted the ability to discern the road to life and the road leading to death.
The idolizing of the Beast's image, becomes increasingly blatant as we progress through the fulfillment of prophecy.
It is now clear to me, that the tribulating test which first broke out on the anointed (1Pet.4:17-18), has now broken out on the rest... "JW's" included (earth, trees, sea)(1Cor.3:9; Matt.7:17; Isa.57:20; Rev.13:7). Reports and experiences are increasingly heard online, on FaceBook, and at forums... about abuse by "elders", and the harm being caused by the un-scriptural doctrine, policies and procedures  of  the G.B. 
(Great Tribulation -what and why). 
We know that "few" are able by the grace of God, to break free of their deceptive philosophies, principles, and traditions which hold them captive (Col.2:8; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Dan.11:33). We who have broken free (John 8:32; Luke 4:18-19,20-21; Heb.2:15), are still experiencing opposition. But we live in hope, knowing that in comparison to our eternal reward, the present troubles, are "momentary and light" (2Cor.4:17-18).

As the truths of the scrolls are opened and presented at the marriage feast (Rev.20:12; Dan.12:4,10,3; Phil.2:15);
Satan responds with the opening of his lying mouth (Rev.12:15; 16:13-14), and an increase of demonic deception, 
to "whitewash the wall" of WT doctrine which defends the city of  harlotry. 
That battle between truth and lies, is the essence of Armageddon (Rev.16:14; 20:7-8; 17:14). 

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/01/armageddon.html) 

I hope you will continue to devote yourself to taking in the proper food at the proper time, now being made available, so as to be equipped to respond to this time of test, in accord with gaining the approval of God. I will refer you (by means of links) to further spiritual knowledge and support, in response to your comments.

Regarding your feelings about shunning; Jesus knew the remnant would be shunned (Matt.5:11-12; 10:22; John 16:2). All Christ's faithful brothers (and those who receive them), are persecuted (2Tim.3:12; Heb.10:32-33,34). That is why Jesus declared that his judgment of life or death, is based upon the treatment given the least of them. Will members of those claiming discipleship, care for such persecuted ones, or shun them? (Matt.25:45-46) We are told that such love for the members of the Body of Christ, will "cool" (Matt.24:12;  2Tim.3:1-5), even though such love, is the hallmark of Christians, and Christ's greatest command (John 13:35,34; Heb.6:10).

Christ assured us that the "generation" (Greek:"race"  1Pet.2:10; 1:23; Ps.112:2) of faithful chosen, will "not disappear", until all things foretold about them, are fulfilled 
(Luke 21:32; Dan.12:7; Rev.13:7; Jer.31:11; 15:21; Isa.48:20; 51:11; Zech.9:16; Rev.1:20; 10:5; Eph.2:6) (Ps.40:2; 69:2; Rev.12:15,14,6; 11:3; etc.). 
So you are certainly correct in your belief, that God will not leave His sheep without caring shepherds (John 10:11; 21:17;  2Cor.5:20). Yet Jesus told us, that along with fine shepherds, there will also be wicked shepherds present... growing alongside the faithful (Matt.13:30; Mark 8:38). He admonishes us, to carefully discern between the two sorts of stewards (Luke 12:42-43,44-45,46) before we follow their voice (Matt.7:15-16,17-18,19-20;  1John 4:1).

Although your daughter now claims that she will not cut you off, be advised that she will be pressured to do so under threat of expulsion, and at that point, she may succumb to the pressure. The sword of truth, divides (Heb.4:12; Matt.10:34; Luke 12:51-52,53) (Rev.13:15-16,17)("Buying and Selling").

I wanted to respond especially, to your words....
"So then I realized the fight to get as many people out (which is my goal) as I can with Yah and Jesus' help, is going to be a real fight. 
I' m planning to copy the scriptures  you quoted and your reasoning to use in family study with my daughter so she can wake up too. My friend wants to join us, when I expressed to her I wanted to study more to memorize scriptures. I have to be really careful, so I can help as many as possible before I too am disfellowshiped. So, I am going to need your help on how to proceed."

I tell you truly;
It is not likely that any will respond positively to your testimony. This is one of the reasons why the last prophets, prophesy in "sackcloth" (Rev.11:3; Isa.22:12; Jer.9:1; 13:17)<(Col.2:8;  2Cor.11:20) ; (Rom.10:18, 21; Luke 13:23-24; Matt.7:14). 

Yet despite their rebelliousness against truth, we are to give them warning (Eze.2:7; Rev.11:10). Their ability to hear that warning... 

       (Matt.13:16; 16:17; 13:11) (Jer.24:7) (LINK), 

...or not (Rom.11:8-10; Matt.13:15; Isa.29:9-10) (Matt.15:8), 

is determined by God who reads the heart (Heb.4:13; Jer.17:10; Ps.44:21). 

"All the earth" worships the Beast, and few are saved from that end-time Idolatry (Rev.13:8; Jer.3:14; Luke 17:34,35,37) despite being warned (Ps.19:1-2,3-4; Dan.5:27; Isa.28:7,18-19,20-22)
( keep-awake ) ( Sleeping )

If we are among those blessed with insight and recognition; it rests upon us to stand up and confess the truth of Christ (Luke 12:8) to our "neighbors" (Eph.4:25). We expect the "death" that results (Rev.12:10-11; Mark 8:35).
Please read these links, 
which help give scriptural instruction on how this should be done:
(warning+letter) and (Give a Warning!)

You also ask:
"I also wanted to talk to you about organizing disfellowshipped ones to use signs at the assemblies to direct faithful anointed out of the org to Jesus Christ and your blog."

The annual assembly is now finished for this year. But there are local circuit assemblies and other meetings, which may also be demonstrated at, as well as construction sites and the annual meeting. Be forewarned that the Beast has also prepared to deal with demonstrators. For this reason, it is best to apply the suggestions the anointed are giving. Since the "elders" and "ministerial servants" have been told to rally between us and our audience (Dan.11:45; Rev.13:17). 

These videos were filmed the following year after we demonstrated. They depict the new response to demonstrators... I believe as their reaction to our message the year before. Our message really hit a nerve.
    [see examples: (you can mute the videos)
    (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6M2pFdV5iQ) 
    (skip to view 5:53 ; 17:00 ; and 32:27 - un-mute to hear singing to drown out the demonstrator)

    ***(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M76NDk6upbg)

(First minute)], 
(PLEASE NOTE: These videos are not a depiction of our demonstration (nor of our beliefs, message, or behavior), nor should we imitate the reviling of our enemies. I present the video, only to display the forces we face.)

Our sign must be held high, well over their heads, in the line of sight of those being dismissed from the assembly. Whatever construction design we create for our sign, it should keep this consideration in mind. 

Despite our formidable foe (Rev.13:4), we can do our best, trusting that God will reach the few whom He may rescue.
(Ex.14:14;  2Pet.2:9;  2Chron.20:15; Isa.41:10-11,12-13,14-15,16; Dan.2:34-35,44-45; Rom.8:31; 16:20)
Then also, there is next year's Summer assemblies.
Here are some links, with suggestions...
        (The-Final-Witness) <<(please read all posts)

Although you have given me your phone numbers, 
I likely will not be calling you. I hope you are not offended or hurt by this necessary decision. I will try to explain why I must choose it.
  Jesus well knew the treachery his brothers would face in the "world" (Matt.10:16; Micah 7:5) (John 17:15). Those whom we meet online, are not fully visible to us, and insincere people can easily mis-represent themselves (Dan.11:34)(2Tim.3:13). 
Should we do what we can, to be "cautious as serpents"? Or, should we simply trust, that we have God's protection? 
Christians imitate Jesus. 
Did he simply trust that God would protect him, even if he took chances with his welfare, believing that God would protect His purpose for Christ? Notice that the devil tried to get Jesus to think that way, and take note of Jesus' response...

"Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 
and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,
‘He will command His angels concerning You’;
and ‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “It is also written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Matt.4:5-6,7)

In imitation of Jesus, we all must not presume upon God, nor test out His protection of us by carelessness or ego.
I therefore, do not take chances by exposing my work to any possible danger. I know I can rely on God's support and protection of my spirit, so long as I do all I can, to keep it. I hope you understand.
That being said,
we can have video conferences, and you can always contact me via the "contact form" on the Main Page of the BLOG.

And finally you said;
"I threw up my hands to Jah when I found out the anointed will be coming down to earth to instruct us!! What a loving arrangement!"
(-materialize-) (holy-city) 
(Gen.28:12-13,14,17; Gal.3:29; Eph.2:19; Rom.8:19-20,21; Rev.21:2,4; 22:2; 5:10) 
(John 1:51; Matt.22:30; Rev.1:20)
This is not only the arrangement of the future Kingdom of God (Heb.1:6 (NKJV), but also the arrangement of His Temple now present, which Temple is now found within the hearts of His faithful anointed priests. God's instruction, comes through them 
(Mal.2:7;  1Pet.2:9; Matt.10:20; Rev.5:10; 21:3;  1Cor.3:16; Eph.2:20-21,22) 
(Rom.5:5; John 4:21,23; Heb.10:16; John 4:14; 7:38-39; Rev.22:17).

Thank you for your letter, and my prayers are with all those graced by the spirit of our God, to find and remain upon the road to life.
Love in Christ,

REVIEW:
Ways to cope with the Great Tribulation

1. Continue in faithfulness and learning, even after expulsion into the "wilderness".
2. Credit God for your sobriety and discernment, and thank Him.
3. Be loving to all those leaving the "City", share the truth with them, and love even our enemies in that way.
4. Be prepared to lose family members for the sake of Christ's truth, as it is now being freely revealed to anyone interested 

    [Matt.10:37; Mark 10:29-30) (Matt.22:9-10; Rev.19:9 (NIV)].

    (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-mans-enemies-will-be-persons-of-his.html)
5. Expect to be "killed" (sentenced as worthy of eternal death) for loyalty to Truth (Mark 8:35) (symbolic-death). When giving your testimony, prepare to be effective (1Cor.14:8; 9:26).
6. Use caution and discretion while on-line. Do not presume upon divine protection. While showing kindness and love to all, exercise caution and protective restraint. Do not provide personal identity information.
7. Avail yourself of the association and support of others of faith, realizing with great gratitude and joy, that our God has been a Faithful Shepherd (Psalm 23). He has brought to us light and life during the darkest spiritual era (Isa.60:2-3; 2:2-3), and given us the spring rain in it's season (Job 29:23; Prov.16:15; Hosea 6:3; Isa.45:8; Ps.72:6; 147:8; Zech.10:1; James 5:7-8,9-10,11,17-18).

Where Do We Go?

I received a letter of appreciation from a reader.
He is searching for spiritual provisions, outside the "Watchtower" (Dan.12:4,9-10,3), because he has recognized the present spiritual famine (Amos 8:11; Rev.18:8). Those considered wicked by God, do not gain understanding (Rev.22:10-11; Dan.12:10,4; Amos 8:12) (Col.2:8; Rev.13:10; 2:10; Mark 8:35; Ps.116:15; Rev.9:6; Amos 8:12). Only through God's grace, and a loyalty of a person toward the Word of God (Matt.13:11,13), will a person be rescued from demonic deception, and find the sayings of life.
Where do we find such sayings, today?
In this era of social media, many are offering spiritual provisions. How can we recognize the difference, between error and divine truth? How can we discern true prophets from false?
I will write some of the points made in his letter, and I will respond to them. I hope the information contained, is helpful to all readers.
-  -  -  -  -  -  -
His letter to me:
"I assumed Pearl wasn't your real name, and if it isn't, I understand and respect your privacy.
I wonder if you've ever come across the Beroeans site? So far I've only browsed, just like I browse your website,  but it's obvious the people there especially Eric Wilson aka Meleti Vivlon (the person who set it up. 40 years ex elder) are roving about the Bible on the same level as you and your group. Meleti as he appears to prefer to be called, also has a YouTube channel. There's also a guy on YouTube whose channel is called isaiah-30v8 I think. He focuses a lot on Isaiah 66:5 and it eventually becomes very difficult to sit through his videos because of the pace and repetition. The measure by measure that he measures out, as he likes to say, is measured out too slow and gets buried under repetition, even at full double speed. I feel bad saying that but I can't not say it, as a warning. Point being that I can see and sense the sincerity of these people in particular and it would be nice if y'all became aware of each other other, if you haven't already. In fact, I really should try to sign up for your blog/forum and do the same for the Beroean's site. The reddit ex JW is immersed in the sea which roils and foams and tosses about, and I guess I will keep trying to throw lifelines but I definitely need the quiet place and true food of the wilderness and beroeans. Take care. (Please ask the father and our lord for satan to loosen his grip on me)."

My Response:
[A note about my pen name, before I begin the body of this post:

Thank you for the common courtesy of respecting my privacy, regarding my online name. I don't mind explaining my pen name.
Pearl Doxsey is the name I was born with, before my marriage. "Pearl" is the meaning of my first name. For example, "Caoimhín" is the Celtic form of "Kevin". "Jose" is the Spanish form of "John", but it is "Sean" in Gaelic. Although names change from language to language... they are the same name, because they have the same meaning.
"Doxsey" is my father's family name, and the surname I was given at birth.
My husband previously used his own name, but then we were accused of hiding the fact that he was my husband, due to having different last names. 

Rather than me changing my well established online name or adding a new one (and be accused of covertly working as two people), he took my last name, in order to be upfront about our marriage, and not stumble anyone. 

When my mother passed away, I provided to some who were closer online associates, my mother's online obituary. Since she naturally had the same name Doxsey, (my maiden name) I was then accused of looking for sympathy by lying about her death, because of my husband having the same name. They reasoned and assumed that she could not be my mother, if my last name was my married (and husband's) last name. I guess you just can't please everyone. Some people's singular goal, is to slander and accuse... usually because they hate the truth, and those who present it. They should be more concerned with their standing with God, as they demonstrate before His face, their petty hatred (Matt.22:11-13; Col.3:14-15).]

-  -  -  -  -  -  -

Yes, 

I have known those you mention in your letter, and others, for many years.

Many online activists, speak with great confidence about their own reasoning, opinion, and assertions. They draw followers, who are swayed by such reasoning. Is not the world full of so-called knowledge? If we are wise, we consider God as wiser than men. Jesus is clear about who it is that conveys God's wisdom to the world (Matt.5:14-15; Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3). God has always conveyed His message, through His prophets and priests (Amos 3:7; Mal.2:7). His primary messenger, is Jesus Christ (Rev.3:14; John 8:28; 6:66-69). Jesus gives us clear advice, as do his apostles, about who it is that provides a truthful source of learning. I would urge you to give priority, to considering the scriptures in the following link:

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/05/where-is-true-religion.html

After you have read it, please consider, that I don't think Meleti Vivlon / Eric Wilson claims to be an anointed priest of God. (Mal.2:7; Rev.5:10;  1Cor. 4:1)

Robert King is not anointed (he claims to be, but does not fulfill the standard)...

When asked about his anointing experience; he expresses the source of his confidence, as being his desire to read the writings of the prophets. When a priest or king in Israel was chosen and anointed by God, that person went through an anointing. His position was not established by a desire to read. He also fails the test of Deut.18:20-22 as regards his assertion that he is a prophet/watchman. He foretold that the new World Headquarters of the "Watchtower", would never be completed.

Perimeno, also claims to be anointed, but his anointing story also, does not fulfill the Bible's standard of authenticity. 

He also teaches his followers to have patience, and remain inside the Beast, despite Jesus' own command to flee (Matt.24:15-16; Mark 13:14; Rev.18:4; Luke 17:28-30,31-32; 21:21-22). 

https://pearl-perimeno.blogspot.com

He believes JWs to be God's people, which is easily proven false, by Isa.43:10,21;  1Pet. 2:9-10 and many other scriptures.

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/04/segment-from-letter-regarding-jehovahs.html

Abe/ablebodiedman/(Isaiah-30v8), also claims to be anointed, though I do not know his story of that experience. I do not know if he was genuinely anointed or not, but I do know that he is now guided by his own overconfident thinking, rather than spirit, or a submission to the guidance of scripture. Like a vain man in front of a mirror, he is so enamored with his own "profound" conceptualizing, that he can't break free to consider anything outside himself. He has an exaggerated sense of his own wisdom. As a result, he denies the Body of Christ, and the gifts given to the other Body members for his building up (Eph.4:2-4,11-13,14-16; Rom.12:4-5). As a result, we consistently see from him... drawn out re-hashing of his own thoughts, and scriptures that point to his personal vindication... both of which prevent his growth within the Body of Christ (1Cor. 12:7,11,15-16,17-18,19-20,21,27-29). 

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/07/discerning-body-god-of-order.html

Like the "ten kings" who rule "one hour" with the Beast (Rev.17:12); he is in danger of returning to the organization, to bask in both the "Watchtower's" contrition, and the esteem from its condemned rebels (Rev.19:20; 20:10; 13:8; 20:15; 16:2; 14:9-11). 
(https://pearl-kingsofearth.blogspot.com)
Isa.66:5 (and Hosea 1:10) which is the verse of his obsession, is not speaking of Kingdom Halls, but rather, the place where speech originates, which is inside the heart (Luke 6:45; Matt.15:18-19).

I have repeatedly sent him the clear direction of scripture, in order for him to consider how it can enhance his perspective and adjust his practices. He rejects the direction of scripture, in favor of his own course. A genuine and faithful messenger of God, hears, listens, and heeds God's Words (John 8:47; Ps.119:105).

To substantiate with one example.... 

he insists on partaking alone. His reasoning, is from Rev.3:20. 

Is this referring to the memorial emblems, and therefore a Bible contradiction to 1Cor. 11:33? 

No. Jesus was referring to the meaning of John 6:63; 17:3 and Rev.2:17 (Luke 10:22). Jesus will share the opening of the scroll/marriage feast with any servant, who is found, awake. 

***(Mark 13:34; Luke 12:37,36; Rev.3:20; 2:17; John 6:58,51,55; Rev.19:9; John 6:63; Rev.22:17)*** --  (Rev.5:2,5; Dan.7:13; Rev.5:7; John 15:15; 16:15; 14:26)
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/10/unless-you-eat-my-flesh.html
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2017/04/symbolic-flesh-and-blood-invited-and.html

(https://pearl-newscrolls.blogspot.com)

1Cor.11:33 reads;  "33 Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another."

Even the context of that verse makes clear, that partakers are to gather for the memorial. Why did the apostle Paul, say this? Why did they need to "wait for one another" and "come together", if not to partake as a unified body? 

1Cor.12 goes into detail, about how closely the members of the Body of Christ are to work together and care for each other. "Abe" insists on feeling too superior to even consider working toward a relationship with other anointed. When he fails to discern the Body of Christ (1Cor.11:29), he has lost union with it's Head (Col.2:19). He also, like Perimeno, considers the blasphemous "Watchtower" Beast, to be the materialization of Christ's kingdom, arrived. That is scripturally wrong on so many levels, but you will see that from scripture, if you continue to study. 

There are many others also, who deem themselves the genuine messengers of God. But it matters not what we may think of ourselves, or how reasonable or profound our human message may seem to be. What matters is who God Himself has really chosen, cleansed, and qualified, to trumpet His message in this time of the End. It is not that the vessel is anything of itself. Their import is only in the message they are assigned to relate, and it's Origin (Luke 17:10;  2Cor. 4:7). But it is crucial for those seeking the "proper food at the proper time", to identify the genuine and faithful. 

There are many in the wilderness that are legitimately attacking the "Watchtower". But that is not God's standard for His genuine prophets. Even the Beast and ten kings, develop a hatred for the harlot leadership (Rev.17:16; 19:17-18).

Of course it seems that all these previous false christs and false apostles (Matt.24:24-25), are lead by scripture, and teach accordingly (2Cor. 11:3-4,12-15; Rev.2:9; Rom.2:28-29; Acts 5:36). But didn't the "Watchtower" also seem to be so? Satan and his agents, often mix a concoction of truth and lies (Rev.8:10-11). Pure and obvious deception would not be an effective bait. Some truth must be used, in order to ensnare if possible, even the elect (Matt.24:24-25).

Please be cautious, because we are told that we cannot partake of both the deceptive table of demons, and at the same time, benefit from the table of the Lord (1Cor. 10:21). 

In order for our house of faith to be built on solid rock (Matt.7:24-27); we must identify those faithful, genuinely assigned by Jesus to feed his household (Luke 12:42)... those who base all their teaching and example of behavior, on the words of God and Christ. 

"By their fruit you will recognize them" (Matt.7:20). 
(1Cor. 11:18-19; Matt.24:6; Eph.5:11; Mal.3:18)

( https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com )

Those who impersonate God's priests, by replacing them in their position to teach (Mal.2:7), are actually a fulfillment of the "disgusting thing, standing in the holy place/standing where it does not belong" (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14). The "holy place", is God's Temple priesthood (1Pet. 2:5;  1Cor. 3:17). Those who subjugate, trample down, and usurp God's priests, will soon face Christ (2Thess. 2:3-4,8). 
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/01/who-are-gods.html
Why is there an accounting for their actions? 
(2Cor. 11:15;  1Cor. 11:19; Matt.24:6;  2Chron. 16:9; Dan.9:26; Mark 13:14)
(https://pearl-sign.blogspot.com)
They compete with, criticize, and in some cases publicly condemn, those sanctioned by Christ to feed his sheep. In their proud ignorance, they foment confusion and resist the work of God's spirit, making the work of God's messengers, so much more difficult to do... and make it more difficult for those searching, to find and recognize the genuine, amid the confusion.
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/02/abomination-causing-desolation.html

Of course, it is totally up to you, what spiritual food you choose to eat, and what standard in that regard, guides you. I do hope that your choice is guided by Christ and God, who clearly identify their genuine and faithful anointed priests, as well as their qualifications 
(John 15:16; Mal.2:7; Rev.5:9-10;  1Cor. 4:1; Luke 12:42; Rev.11:3-5; Jer.5:14). 
Pray for divine guidance in this.

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2016/01/is-leaving-city-enough.html

Regarding our prayer for your endurance. Paula and I do pray for the redemption and salvation of God's elect, and their endurance through this great tribulation.
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-greatest-tribulation-why.html
Each of us can learn from the example of Jesus, in how to cope with such torture (Heb.4:15). In the account of his own testing by Satan (Matt.4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13), Jesus repeatedly resorted to the guidance of the Word of God, found in the scriptures. If we do the same, we will not be overcome. We will find the path to victory (1John 2:13-14). 

If you want to share the nature of your trials, perhaps I can assist you in finding the scriptures that will help you.

Thank you again for reaching out to me.

Love in Christ,

Pearl
