ASK AN ELDER ABOUT THIS VERSE

The Searcher

Millions of Witnesses believe in "new scrolls", based on the following "spirit directed teachings";

"W ill Jehovah use his holy spirit in the coming new world? That spirit will be the force behind the new scrolls that will be opened at that time". w104/15p.11par.17

"During this thousand-year judgment period, Jehovah evidently will give additional instructions, unknown to us at present, as new "scrolls" are opened". w856/15p.18par.21

"There will be an extensive educational program under the direction of the King Jesus Christ and his 144,000 corulers. New "scrolls" will then come into use. klchap.19p.185par.13

"But during the resurrection, countless millions of studies, based on the Bible and the newscrolls, will no doubt be conducted!" rechap.41pp.299-300par.15

These "understandings" are interpolations(to alter a text by the insertion of new matter, especially deceptively or without authorization)

of Revelation 20:12. Neither the terminology nor the "explanation" appear in that verse. Those who espouse the above and those foolish enough to be deceived by them, deliberately ignore Jehovah's personal warning at Revelation 22:18,19, "If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll;and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things which are written about in this scroll".

Take this warning seriously and "test the inspired expression to see if it originates with God" !

St George of England

The 'new scrolls' to be opened will be "Shepherd the Flock, Vols 1-10"

Revelation 20:12: And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

Revelation Climax: (pg 299): Evidently, then, the opening of these scrolls will publish Jehovah’s detailed requirements for mankind during the thousand years. By applying in their lives the regulations and commandments of those scrolls, obedient humans will be able to lengthen their days, attaining finally to everlasting life.

LOL. The Witnesses are so addicted to “New Light” that they can easily be persuaded that there will be more “New Light” in the New System TM .... and more regulations....

Phizzy

That naughty John ignored "Jehovah's personal warning " not long after the other John wrote his "Revelation" on Patmos.

So, we are to disregard the three letters of John and the Gospel of John are we Searcher ???

Of course the Book of Revelation is a load of 1st Century nonsense, but it is interesting that the Watchtower tries to turn a prophecy about a judgement scene into a prophecy of continuing "theocratic" rule- by regulations and commandments- the GB will never be redundant!

breakfast of champions

books = two (2) books = Twin Towers of the World Trade Center

the dead were judged by what was written in the books = "collateral damage" as Satan was aiming the planes for the governing body

The book of life was opened = governing body and Gilead class escape by the skin of their teeth because someone had to go back for a new change of underwear

Thats what it actually means.
