  Watchtower’s Power Protection Program

  Today I added a new article to my blog addressing Watchtower's newly rolled out teaching that effectively puts about 12,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses outside the circle of authorized providers of spiritual food to Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  My article is titled Watchtower’s Power Protection Program and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2013/04/watchtowers-power-protection-program.html

  About 12,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses have been put outside the circle of wagons with the rest the Indians.—(John Wayne fans will understand)

  This time Watchtower went out of its way to make sure Jehovah’s Witnesses get the point!!!

  You’ll see what I mean.

  The Memorial that the Jehovah's Witnesses observe every year, is nothing more than a Satanic Ritual. When a person refuses to eat the bread, representing Christ's flesh, and refusing to drink of the wine, representing Christ's blood, they are actually denying Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

  “…they are actually denying Jesus as their Lord and Savior.”

  From a biblical perspective, refusing the bread and wine is, essentially, refusing Jesus’ sacrifice.

  This is what Watchtower teaches Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s an integral part of an activity described by author Richara Heyward saying “the Watchtower Society calls upon people to pledge allegiance to a transnational de-territorialized collectivity.”[1] Bible lovers will not pledge allegiance to Watchtower until they're first carefully led down a path that has them do the unthinkable: deny Jesus. It's de-and-re-programming.

  Watchtower wants Jehovah’s Witnesses to worship it and nothing else, including much hallowed biblical characters.

  Marvin Shilmer >> You may want to add that each and every Christian really gets the point by now that those 8 people have no special insight.

  Who is the "the Faithful Steward and Its Governing Body?"

  "However, Christians who have truly received this anointing do not demand special attention. They do not believe that their being of the anointed gives them special insights beyond what even some experienced members of the “great crowd” may have. (Rev. 7:9) They do not believe that they necessarily have more holy spirit than their companions of the “other sheep” have. (John 10:16)"

  Then I beg the question: Why follow them at all?

  “… those 8 people have no special insight.”

  Yet they ask Jehovah’s Witnesses to obey them as though they have special insight.

  Someone somewhere said it’s bad to put trust in men, no matter how noble they might come across or self-proclaim. I agree.
