As we all know, year after year the rank and file publishers in the Jehovah’s Witness organization have been awaiting the grand announcement from the Governing Body – the preaching work is done!
The elderly and the infirm are the underdogs in the struggle to accomplish the ministry. I was one among the large number of Jehovah’s Witnesses who are sick, but prior commitment to this ministry shortened my hours of sleep considerably. I did not comply with my doctor’s prescription to get more sleep because the clarion call from my religion was to do more in the ministry. Keep on – keeping up was being stressed by the local elders, we all knew that this urgency came from the top, the headquarters, therefore we complied.
A rational question that surfaced a few months ago is: can Jehovah’s Witnesses objectively expect the Governing Body to cede this determination and tell them that the work is done? Will it ever happen? This legitimate question has been raised because of some facts that point to the opposing view.
Jehovah/Yah had put into my spirit a message regarding this worldwide ministry, in turn I contacted the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses by way of a letter which dated August 3, 2009. In the letter I clearly explained to the Governing Body that Jehovah/Yah’s will is that they should return home all publishers and delegates that are in the foreign fields in which they sent them. These persons should be restored to their homeland, and that the Governing Body should convert the buildings which are in use for this ministry into permanent homes for the missionaries, special pioneers, circuit overseers and current Bethelites. This is the will of Jehovah/Yah. A copy of this letter appears in the writings following the video presentation of myself called What if it is Time for a Change? Unfortunately, this information was not aired and the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses turned a deaf ear.
I will point out some Scriptures that have been conveniently overlooked in keeping this aristocracy at it’s peak, and keep this ministry in full blast in the Jehovah’s Witness organization. In Romans 15:20 the apostle Paul explained: "And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation." Often, the householders would tell us at the doors that they already know about Jesus, or that they already have a relationship with Jesus, and they were correct to indicate that to us. What Paul said shows that whichever religion a person is in is not better than the religion that the other person is in who also has faith in Jesus. For example, what I had in my religion as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses was not better than that of the person at the door. The individual who knows of Jesus Christ should be interested in building his knowledge by reading the Bible. Appreciation and cultivation are in the realm of the Holy Spirit. A religion’s interpretation of the Bible is not important ( 1 John 2 :26,27).
The health condition of the pioneers who carry the brunt of this ministry is a growing concern.
The Governing Body has told it’s followers that they can eat everything. In the matter of daily fare the Governing Body has been flouting God’s word. In Revelation 18:2 the apostle John wrote " Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! These creatures can only be unclean in relation to food.
When the Watchtower organization quotes Genesis 7:2 it is with such simplicity and unrelated to health that it is not worth mentioning. Genesis 7:2 reads: "you shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two of animals that are unclean, a male and his female." After the flood Noah offered in a sacrifice to God some species of only clean animals. Noah did not mingle with unclean animals. In addition, Noah was charged with the instruction not to eat blood. Later in the Scriptures, in the book of Acts the apostles warned against the eating of strangled animal because it would contain it’s blood. Therefore, we understand that any animal that was not allowed to bleed properly is equal to a strangled animal. Nonetheless, the policy of the Governing Body has been: if you don’t know–don’t inquire. All the aforementioned practices do not have the support of God’s Holy and they hinder the operation of God’s Holy Spirit in a person’s life. The Seventh-Day Adventist religion has maintained that the way that a person eats or the things that a person eats can keep a person in poor health and in spiritual darkness. Formerly, I did not believe it and I didn’t know that it is true. I changed to this way of eating because my health was in serious trouble. Most of the Seventh- Day Adventist struggle to follow this God prescribed diet, whereas, I have been blessed by Jehovah/Yah to be able to keep it almost perfectly. I started this way of eating in 2002, and my reason was I was dying, but now I am in good health.
The Watchtower organization is not teaching any of these health benefits, instead they have been instructing their members that everything is good for food, and the various sicknesses, the doctors visits, the medicines, the incurring expenses, the loss of lives are all said to be the natural result of living in this world. By blaming this world or " this system" the Watchtower organization is not taking responsibility for it’s teachings. The probability of any Jehovah’s Witness learning to live differently is very unlikely because their leaders discourage them from listening to anybody else.
Furthermore, eating certain foods in combination can produce a strong delusion. Most of us are familiar with a doctors order that says not to take two medicines at the same time because they are incompatible. The idea that some foods should not be eaten together is not so farfetched even though they are entering the same mouth and they are going into the same body. This practice of not eating some foods in combination is as ancient as the book of Exodus.
Exodus 16:12: "At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Bread is carbohydrate and meat is protein. God did not give these to the Israelites in combination. However, a green salad would go well with these food groups.
Exodus 23:19 " You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. The Jews always understood this to mean that milk and meat or meat and cheese should not be eaten together.
Leviticus 19: 19 You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. If two sorts of seeds should not grow in the field together neither should it enter the body together.
It is no surprise that it was Daniel who was able to ascertain from the writings of the prophets the time of emancipation of God’s children from Babylon. Also, it was Daniel alone who could interpret the dream. The Scriptures tell us that Daniel would not defile himself with improper diet.
The final mending of the children of God is outlined in the book of Daniel:
Daniel 12: 4 " Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
Daniel 12: 10 " Many shall be purified, made white, and refined..."
Contrary-wise the Jehovah’s Witness organization have all millions of it’s adherents in a cloister as if awaiting the dispensing of God’s Holy Spirit as it happened on the day of Pentecost – at the beginning of the preaching commission, whereas circumspectly and inevitably we are at the end. With the help of Jehovah/Yah I have made several videos to further support every statement in this letter. These videos can be accessed at www.book4world.com.
Sincerely yours,
