Isaiah 65:14 ASV — behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
Romans 2:28-29 ASV — For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
This post is going to be long, but there is much to address here.
Meanwhile, please enjoy the following painting that my eldest son painted back in 2013. I loved it, it truly spoke to me. He gave it to me a few years ago. I called it...

Today I would like to address a couple of videos posted to JW.org... this first video is meant for this coming Saturday 03/27/21 - Memorial Day ~ Remembrance of Jesus Christ Death.
They "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society" known as the (GB) "Governing Body" persecute their own.

Memorial Morning Worship—M. Stephen Lett: “The Spirit Itself Bears Witness With Our Spirit” (Rom. 8:16)Excerpts...
- When Adam and Eve had children, THEY (meaning two sinned) passed on the death sentence.
- (3 minutes in) "The long dash after 'Romans 5:12 ASV — Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—' why is it there? Paul did not complete his thought; he left a cliff hanger" ... "we could say" ... "thereby completing the cliff hanger."
2 Peter 3:16 ASV — as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
- (5 minutes in) "Those with everlasting life in heaven" reference made to: Romans 8:16 ASV — The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
- (5:20) He then asks, "How does it bear witness?" (Although the answer was already given "the spirit himself bears witness") he then cites examples...
- Yet, no mention of what happened after that, with Cornelius in Acts 10.
Acts 10:3-4 ASV — He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God.
Acts 10:9 ASV — Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:
Acts 10:15 ASV — And a voice came unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.
Acts 10:22 ASV — And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
Acts 10:28 ASV — and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and yet unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:
Acts 10:34 ASV — And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
(Shows no partiality.)
Acts 10:44-45 ASV — While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word. And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:47 ASV — Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
The answer is YES... (GB) Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they can stop one from a water baptism because they have received the Holy Spirit.
- (9:35) Mr. Lett uses the last example in Acts 8:14-17 as his proof that it can only happen after a water baptism. That is a FALSE STATEMENT...
- As stated in Romans 8:16 "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children."
The scriptures Mr. Lett mentioned, and the example of Cornelius have only proven what happens when one is anointed with holy spirit. Having had a water baptism, or not.
- (10:10) He then asks again "How does one know clearly they have the calling?"
- He cites; "1 John 2:20 ASV — And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things."
- Just like Mr. Lett said, "They know for a certainty."
I agree with that statement, they absolutely know for a certainty.
- Mr. Lett then cites; 1 John 2:27 ASV — And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
- "Anointed ones don't need confirmation"
Yet, to become a JW you MUST confirm and answer the following question...
14. Do you believe that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is “the faithful and discreet slave” appointed by Jesus?
You
must (*bow down) say they are anointed in order to be baptized.
My question to you is "If you're anointed, why do you need confirmation?" Please practice what you preach.
Romans 2:24 ASV — For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.
From their very own literature…
Excerpt...
"They come to Jesus’ anointed brothers and “bow down” to them, spiritually speaking, because ‘they have heard that God is with them.’"
Here's an *image...
They have made themselves gods.
- Lastly... "Jehovah is the greatest communicator in the Universe"
I stopped watching the video shortly after that. I do agree that Jehovah is the greatest communicator, therefore Jehovah wouldn't have falsely communicated through spirit that 1975 would be Armageddon, then have you later cite; "Proverbs 4:18 ASV — But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day." as to why you did it.
How many have had the heavenly calling and were persecuted, told not to partake or stopped from partaking, written off, and/or told they couldn't be baptized and that they weren't one of the anointed?
What is the "mystery" in Babylon the Great?
- Revelation 17:5 ASV — and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Who hold the cup of the anointed ones and stop them from partaking or "getting baptized"?
- Revelation 17:4 ASV — And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,
- Revelation 17:6 ASV — And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.
Who sits on many waters, which represent “peoples and crowds and nations and tongues"?
- Revelation 17:15 ASV — And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
As you've stated many times, here's an example...
Please see blog post:

| 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 ASV — And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation): |
I would now like to move on to the following video...
As Jehovah clearly states:
- Leviticus 2:13 ASV — And every oblation of thy meal-offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal-offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt.

Excerpts...
In September of 2017, JW's started knocking on my door. Since I had left the organization, I only had one visit by two young JW sisters, it was sometime in the mid 90's, I was living in Cranford, NJ. I remember asking them difficult questions, many regarding the holidays. They didn't have answers for me and said they would return. For whatever reason, they never did.
Continuing forward in 2017, for the exception of that one visit at my door by JW's, knowing how much they go out and preach, it was surprising to me that I never "personally" got a knock on my door again, until now...September 2017. Easy to remember because during that time I was distraught and I had explained to them that my kids had just started high school and were "unlawfully" recruited by the military.
“These are the two anointed ones who are standing alongside the Lord of the whole earth.”
"The Spirit and the bride."
They will be called the holy people, those repurchased by Jehovah,
And you will be called Sought After, a City Not Abandoned.
- Ingredients: water, flour and oil
- Question "Can you ever add anything else?"
- Answer "No, it is important that it is done as it was done in Jesus' day...just water, flour and oil, that is all."
- Next question "Not even salt?"
- "No, not even salt" scripture cited: Luke 16:10 ASV — He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
I like to sprinkle salt on it just before it goes in the oven.

Exodus 15:21 ASV — And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously; The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. |
I would simply like to remind the JW Organization of the false prediction given in 1975.
(My STUMBLING BLOCK at age 7)
Matthew 18:6 ASV — but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
See blog post:
As stated in the blog, as a child I no longer trusted the JW organization, slowly, more and more things continued to happen and I no longer believed they were about Jehovah, I knew deep inside that they were false. I still loved the people, but I no longer believed in the religion. I learned the first biggest lie directly from them, at the age of 7. I remember being pressured into getting baptized. My younger brother and I, whom I was closest to, didn't want to. We both felt the same way, that we didn't want to get baptized because we were going to get the reward of the paradise earth, we only wanted to do it for Jehovah. I felt that if I were to get baptized, it would not have reflected that.
Gradually, feeling I had nowhere else to turn, I turned to the world. By the time I was 13, I was already heavily influenced by music, and that became my escape. We all know how bad of an influence music can have on someone...especially heavy metal.

Today's text mentioned on the JW app, is a good one that many don't seem to understand...A Jubilee is what that 50th year will become for you.—Lev. 25:11.What Was the Jubilee?
A jubilee is a special anniversary. The Israelites were to celebrate their Jubilee every 50 years. Starting with the time of entering the Promised Land, the nation of Israel was to count six years during which the land was sown, cultivated, and harvested. The seventh year was to be a sabbath year, during which no sowing or pruning could be done. Seven of these seven-year periods (7 × 7 = 49) were to be counted, and the following year, the 50th, was to be a Jubilee year. Starting the count of years with the entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land, their first Jubilee year began in Tishri, 1424 B.C.E.—Lev. 25:2-4, 8-10.
Fast forward from 1975 to 2017... 7 years old and now 49 years old.
Fact ~
While living in Cranford, I attended Union County College, one of my majors was English. I remember one of our finals had to be a paper on Religion. This was in 1996/97. We sat in class one day, being a shy person, I sat in the back. Somehow a conversation began between me and the Professor, we had a deep discussion in front of the entire class. It was intense, he got up from behind his desk, walked around and leaned on the front of it, asking me questions and with his arms crossed. What was the topic? Jehovah and Jesus Christ.
I remember all eyes were on me, it was uncomfortable, but I felt a strong need to voice my opinion on the matter. It was not about the JW's, I was still very upset with them, it was about my belief in Jehovah, Jesus Christ and the Bible, it was still very strong. I don't remember all that we spoke about, but as nervous as I was, it was exciting, it was exciting to once again be able to voice my opinion freely, on how I felt about Jehovah, Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures.
Finally, I do remember the professor asking me "and then what?" My answer..."Armageddon." His arms went up in the air and the entire class moaned and groaned. That was the end of it, no more conversation. I was so thankful that right after that, it was time for class be over. It was then that I realized, just how much people don't want to hear about Armageddon.

Just want to add a quick note: My mom was still a JW until the day she passed away from cancer on 09/11/11, but she knew how I felt when it came to JW's and never pressured me to return.
Although I had JW's visit me, they still couldn't convince me that "they were the truth." As they preached to me, I preached to them. I was trying my hardest to explain to them how their view was obscured (off). We spoke much about varying religions and judging one group of people from another. After a while, I thought they had given up, because eventually they stopped knocking.
In 2018, someone left an invite on my door for the Memorial for Jesus Christ. It was to attend that very day, so I knew I wasn't going to make it, but I smiled, it made me happy to think of what it meant. Shortly after though, that smile dimmed, because they also left a pink sticky note that read..."God is going to rid the earth of bad people" it was unfortunate. There was no scripture on the note and I remember thinking "what a horrible note to leave someone, and with no scripture to back it up, on a day that was to be a special remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus gave for us. Anger and resentment resurfaced.
After that, I decided to do intense research on the JW's, determined to prove how false they were. They hadn't returned for a while and eventually, I just gave up and decided to once again, let it go.
So why did I return at the age of 50, in 2019?
Revelation 12:12 ASV — Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
1st woe... the great tribulation ~ Spring of 2019
Revelation 12:14 ASV — And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Fast forward to today. What has Jehovah taught me...we are all imperfect beings. Jehovah has shown me that forgiveness is very important. Jehovah has also shown me, I was right, it's not about religion, (1 Corinthians 6:19) it is about the love I have for Jehovah, Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures, also about the love I have for ALL my brothers and sisters in the world, regardless of what their belief or understanding is. (Matthew 22:37-40) Jehovah has brought me back through this chosen group, JW's, because it was a reminder of where I learned about Him and Jesus Christ...I returned to my roots.
Jehovah will use anyone or anything to do His purpose, even if they have profaned His name... why?
Because He can...He is the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. Psalm 83:18 He is not part of a (Triune God), He is a God of LOVE. (1 John 4:16-19)
Exodus 3:14 (NWT)
“I Will Become What I Choose to Become.”
Exodus 3:14 (KJV)
"I AM THAT I AM"
Who are the chosen?
Is one Jewish and the other Christian? Matthew 20:23
also
Is one the Antichrist (1 John 2:18) and the other, the False Prophet? (Revelation 13)
Mt 24:24; 7:15, 22, 23.Who is the woman in the following Bible books?
Psalm 45, Isaiah 54, Song of Solomon and Galatians 4:26? She is not the seed. After the woman, Satan turns to the seed. Revelation 12:17 "The remaining ones of her offspring."
Revelation 11:3-4 ASV — And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth.
"Faithful and discreet slave."
And you will be called Sought After, a City Not Abandoned.
Romans 9:25 ASV — As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
