Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??
by smiddy3 ini have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.

FACT: The "faithful slave" was personally selected in 1919......
by BoogerMan in.........by the elite in the wtbts, who then became the self-proclaimed "faithful slave.
" (sans divine interference!).
as attested to countless times in decades worth of literature.. all succeeding members were then "personally selected" by existing "slave" members.

Yeah, the WTBT$ GB/FD$ acts like a false prophet.
They have said that all other religions will be attacked first, and then when the UN/nations come after JWBorg then Jesus and the angels and 144,000 will save them. They misapply Ezekiel 38 to back up that view.
What's funny is that Jehovah is going to show that the WTBT$ GB/FD$ are false prophets by allowing the UN/nations/governments to BEGIN their attack on religious institutions at the Bethels. The studios, the Bethels, the KHs, the real estate, the investments - POOF! Gone, "like smoke", because the GB/FD$ are the worst apostates, claiming to represent Jehovah by name all the while hurting His kids and teaching falsehoods. The governments are about eat all their assets up.
(Incidentally, Ezekiel 38 isn't even talking about Armageddon or the great tribulation. It's talking about the attack of "Gog of Magog" which Revelation 20:7-10 clearly says doesn't happen until the end of the 1000 year reign.)
Jehovah hasn't changed.
Ezekiel 8:12,13
"He said to me: “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one in the inner rooms where his idols are displayed? For they are saying, ‘Jehovah is not seeing us. Jehovah has left the land.’” And he went on to say to me: “You will see detestable things that are even more terrible that they are doing.”
Jehovah sees what those fakers are doing at Bethel. He will make an accounting.
Ezekiel 9:5,6
"Go through the city after him and strike...You should start from my sanctuary.” So they started with the elders who were in front of the house."

No, the "144,000" number is not figurative. The context and the rest of the Bible shows that it is a literal number.
There was a representative sample out of ancient Israel selected to work at the temple in a priestly capacity. They weren't any better than their brothers. (In fact, Levi was one of the sketchiest dudes in Jacob's family.) They numbered the Levites and numbered the guys in Israel and the difference in firstborn represented was made up for by a certain compensation because it had to be exact. It was a measurable number.
In Revelation, after talking about the set number 144,000 of those who serve in that specific assignment as priests in the heavenly kingdom capacity, it contrasts that to the great crowd of people "that no man is able to number".
The comparison between a set number and an amount "no man is able to number" shows the 144,000 is literal.
(Other times in the Bible something similar...Joseph interpreted Pharoah's dreams - the cows and wheat were symbolic but the "seven" was literal years. Also Nebuchadnezzar's dream that Daniel interpreted, the tree was figurative, symbolic of Nebuchadnezzar, but the seven times were seven literal years.)

(Kosonen, here is a tip regarding any websites and knowing whether they contain "truth"...any so-called "Bible scholars" and their websites that have a "Donations" section are NOT trustworthy. They are compromised, because they have attempted to misuse the teachings of the Christ as a means of monetary gain. They do not have holy spirit backing them and they cannot be trusted as a pure source of truth. Both of those websites you posted are asking for money from people for their "work". They are not God's representatives and they are not asking for money because Christ told them to. They are being naughty and they are not reliable for accurate information on understanding Revelation or the rest of the Bible for that matter.)
Christ said: "You received free, give free" regarding sharing truth with others.

"Babylon the Great" is all the religious institutions. "Institutions" means the "organizations", not the people in the organizations. They (the religious organizations) will be destroyed at the beginning of the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation.
Many of the individuals who make up the institutions will be okay - it's the institutions themselves that are destroyed.
That is why Jesus said of the religious leaders that they will be gnashing their teeth and weeping when the religious institutions are destroyed, because many of the religious leaders will still be alive as individuals and it will be clear they were frauds.
Revelation says Jesus has eyes like a fiery flame.:"the Son of God...the one who has eyes like a fiery flame." He sees everything hypocritical going on in the congregations/denominations that claim to represent him. The lyrics of this song talk about how "the grand facade soon will burn". It's a good illustration for what will happen to Babylon the Great at the beginning of the 3 1/2 years. Jesus will allow the UN to destroy the religious institutions (not all the people in them, but the organization structures.) Then afterwards, true Christians will follow Christ as head instead of human hypocritical religious frauds. And during that time, some others who were not associating with a religion before will see too that Jesus is the one to follow.

Could there be a connection between these scriptures?
No, Revelation 12:6 is a different time period than Ezekiel 38.
Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God and where they would feed her for 1,260 days.
Exekiel 38:8 “‘“You will be given attention after many days. In the final part of the years you will invade the land whose people have been restored from the ravages of the sword, collected together out of many peoples onto the mountains of Israel, which had long been lying devastated. The inhabitants of this land were restored from the peoples, and all of them dwell in security.
11 (NIV) You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I Will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land” 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’
Here is why we know they are not related...
Revelation 12:6 is talking about how true Christians will be protected and fed by the figurative "woman" during the 1260 days (3 1/2 years) of the great tribulation. The "wilderness" just means the condition of not having religious institutions to take "refuge" in. The remnant of the 144,000 kingdom heirs and those associated with them are not strong, they are weak like a newborn baby compared to what they will be later. They need the protection of the angelic organization in order to survive the onslaught of the "dragon" and his minions during the days ahead.
Ezekiel 38 is talking about "Gog of Magog". Revelation 20:7-10 identifies "Gog of Magog" as those who attack God's people after the 1000 year reign.
Ezekiel 38 has nothing to do with the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation or the time known as "Armageddon". Ezekiel 38 takes place way way way later.🙂

That first website is incorrect because it claims the woman is ancient Israel. Ancient Israel has never been in heaven. Ancient Israel was an unfaithful harlot who schemed to kill God's Son.
The second website is incorrect because they claim the woman is the church. The church hasn't given birth to the Christ. He came first, and then the congregation came after.
