For 57 years JW's were compelled to accept this BLASPHEMY as TRUTH

    Namely, that the org & its elite group of "anointed" Christians had usurped Christ's role.

    Thank you so much, faithful evil slave! By their fruits..............

    For lurking JW's: How many org "truths" have you seen reversed during your life?

    w52 11/15 p. 678 Marking Those Who Sigh and Cry - "In times past it was thought that the man in linen with the writer’s inkhorn by his side pictured a certain individual in modern times...Rather, all the facts indicate that this man in linen with a writer’s inkhorn by his side pictures or represents the body of faithful anointed Christians..... and who are working together under divine direction as the “faithful and discreet slave”.

    kj chap. 9 p. 172 pars. 24-26 - "On July 30, 1931 "Vindication (Volume I) was released. It said, on pages 99, 100, under the subheading “Man with Inkhorn,” the following: "The man with the writer’s inkhorn by his side,’ therefore, clearly represented the anointed “servant” class of the Lord on earth,......Thus these dedicated, anointed followers of Jesus....were very grateful that their God, Jehovah, had definitely revealed to them the work for them to do as indicated in the vision to Ezekiel concerning the man “clothed with linen, with a secretary’s inkhorn at his hips.” They were highly elated at the prospect....of marking the foreheads of those who were to be spared..."

    w72 1/15 p. 46 - 48 Has the King’s Secretary Called on You Recently? - "Hence, for our day, the visionary man “clothed with linen, with a secretary’s inkhorn at his hips,” must picture a modern composite man, that is, a united group of men,....Such is the King’s secretary of our day......It is that small body of dedicated, baptized Christians who, in the year 1931, recognized the impending destruction of Christendom and therefore the need for the work of the “man clothed with the linen” to be done in its modern application.....On Sunday, July 26, 1931, this convention of spirit-anointed Christians embraced as a distinguishing name for themselves as Christians the designation “Jehovah’s witnesses.” Not just the name, but the work carried out by them since then proves that this anointed remnant of Christian witnesses of the Most High God are unmistakably the twentieth-century fulfillment of the man “clothed with linen, with a secretary’s inkhorn.”

    w83 12/15 p. 17 par. 6 - "Today there is only a small remnant of the members of the “royal priesthood”...These serve together as the figurative linen-clad man, who does the marking of worthy ones in their foreheads."

    w88 9/15 p. 14 par. 18 - "The antitypical ‘man in linen’ is the class of anointed Christians."

    w16 June pp. 16-17 Questions From Readers - Whom do the man with the secretary’s inkhorn and the six men with smashing weapons described in Ezekiel’s vision symbolize? "They picture heavenly forces that were involved in the destruction of Jerusalem and that will also be involved in the destruction of Satan’s wicked system at Armageddon. Why is this adjusted understanding reasonable? In the past, we have explained (insisted!) that in the modern-day fulfillment of this vision, the man with the secretary’s inkhorn represented the anointed remnant. It was thought that those who respond favorably to the message being preached are now marked for survival. In recent years, however, it has become clear that an adjustment needs to be made to this explanation. According to what is stated at Matthew 25:31-33, Jesus is the one who judges people. He makes his final judgment during the time of the great tribulation, separating the sheeplike ones, who will survive, from the goatlike ones, who will be destroyed. So in light of this adjusted understanding, what lessons do we learn from Ezekiel’s vision?"

    How do you "adjust" a blasphemy to make it a truth? 🤣

    All very predictable:

    The disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

    4 Jesus answered them, “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. - Mt. 24
