  Were they 'scriptural principles' being expressed in the 1983 article or the 2025 article?

  The Elders are being told that if any couples do ask for help they are to explain scriptural principles and information in the January 2025 article.

  Going beyond what is written causes more problems.

  2/2025 czech news agency czech culture ministry considers deregistration of jehovah’s witnesses.

  the czech ministry of culture is considering the possible cancellation of the religious registration of the jehovah’s witnesses religious society, and has sent the organisation an appeal to desist from its illegal activities, ministry spokeswoman jana zechmeisterova told ctk today.. the ministry has received thousands of complaints from the jehovah’s witnesses about the proposal, which must be dealt with first.

  administrative proceedings have not yet been initiated, zechmeisterova said.. she said the ministry had begun to deal with the proposals it had received about the cancellation of the registration of the religious society of jehovah’s witnesses (nssj).

  This has worse repercussions for the Watchtower and JWs than the situation in Norway and sounds similar to Russia. If they are deregistered then there is provision to have all their property confiscated.

  This appears to have been initiated on September 5th, 2024.

  Once again, the Watchtower launched a protest by having JWs send in thousands of letters, which are being addressed by the Ministry.

  10. It appears that Jehovah guided the Christians by means of those who were taking the lead in the congregation. Historian Eusebius later wrote: “The people of the congregation in Jerusalem, by divine providence, received a revelation given to approved men; they were commanded . . . to migrate from the city before the war and to settle in a certain city of Perea called Pella.”

  This is speculation by the Watchtower, again.

  If this is true then the prophecy was not fulfilled in accordance to what Jesus said. They are taking his prophecy and expanding on it when there is no instruction to do so. If it was necessary, we would have been given more details (I.e, that they would be led to a safe city).

  The command was to ‘flee to the mountains’. It was not one specific place that they were directed to flee to, it was not one mountain, it was ‘mountains’. Paella is not a mountain either and therefore falls outside of this prophecy.

  The inspired instruction was to ‘flee to the mountains’. What occurred in regards to any settlements after they did so is not recorded in the Bible and therefore irrelevant. The Watchtower is going beyond what Is written and have no authority to claim that they will have instructions that are life saving.

  This is also how they are trying to remain relevant to jws these days. Telling them that they need the GB and to stay in the religion because one day, soon, they have the secret knowledge that will save their lives.

  It’s so odd that they can’t approach anyone when they are standing next to the cart but they can at other times.

  They are being taught to informally witness by having them believe angels are messaging them to do so. The urge to approach someone won’t come from themselves but by spirits.

  It’s another article about obeying those taking the lead because they are the ones that will ‘possibly’ be telling JWs what to do during the GT.

  10 It appears that Jehovah guided the Christians by means of those who were taking the lead in the congregation. Historian Eusebius later wrote: “The people of the congregation in Jerusalem, by divine providence, received a revelation given to approved men; they were commanded . . . to migrate from the city before the war and to settle in a certain city of Perea called Pella.” Pella seems to have been an ideal choice. It was not far from Jerusalem, making it relatively easy to reach. It was primarily a Gentile city and for the most part unaffected by the fanatical Jewish freedom fighters and their battles with the Romans.​—See map.
  11 The Christians who fled to the mountains applied Paul’s counsel to “be obedient to those who are taking the lead” in the congregation. (Read Hebrews 13:7, 17.) As a result, God’s people survived. History confirms that God did not abandon those “awaiting the city having real foundations”​—God’s Kingdom.​—Heb. 11:10.

  They point out that it was them that provided spiritual food at the outbreak of Covid.

  13… in the future, Jehovah will continue to help those taking the lead to determine the wise course to take. Besides trust in Jehovah and obedience to his commands,…

  The latest watchtower, just up is May 2025. The cover was seen before, months ago and believed to be originally proposed for the August 2024 Watchtower.

  from barbara:.

  my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.

  as his mental health deteriorated, i decided to have our local longtime physician talk alone with joe during an office visit last september.

  It would be nice if you could remove your YouTube video that you made regarding the highly respected Mark O’Donnell.

  Your false claims and accusation's are not helpful. One youtuber even believed what you were saying and posted his own YouTube supporting your claims. He was advised to do his own research, which he did and found your claims to be wrong. He has since made another video to apologise to Mark O’Donnell and his audience.

  It is so important to research and get the facts.
