Some comments...
When Mark Sanderson quotes Haggai 2:8 he is really saying "The silver is mine and the gold is mine." Mark and the GB don't represent Jehovah's interests - they represent their own interests.
Mark Sanderson is demanding an accounting of the funds but is falsely accusing Jehovah of being the demanding one. "If you don't do it, I'm going to get you" Mark Sanderson says. (In actuality, Jehovah is going to get the GB fakers and make an accounting with them.)
Here is where Mark Sanderson admits that the GB and the WTBT$ are just a business corporation...
Mark Sanderson:
"<chuckles> So there's kind of a negative aspect to it in what we've looked at thus far. But there's also a positive and a beautiful aspect to it too. And if...
...Well, this comes down to your work as auditors. And this work, brothers, is not trivial. It's serious work. And it's important work.
I just looked up quickly, ah, on various websites, ah, to look at what is auditing and how is it defined. And ah, one website just gave a very, a nice simple def- definition. It said "the main necessity for conducting the audit of financial statements stems from the fact that the persons responsible for the preparation of financial statements are often different from the owners of a large corporation."
Well, that's true isn't it.
You see if we have branches all over the world that prepare financial statements and financial records, they're far away from the governing body."
Mark Sanderson admitted that the "Governing Body" are the owners of a large corporation.
Then Mark Sanderson misapplies Deuteronomy 13:14. What is the actual context of Deuteronomy 13:14 talking about? About how Jehovah puts false prophets like the GB out of business.
Deuteronomy chapter 13:
"“In case a prophet or one who foretells by dreams arises in your midst and gives you a sign or a portent, and the sign or the portent about which he spoke to you comes true while he is saying, ‘Let us walk after other gods,’ gods that you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer, for Jehovah your God is testing you to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul. After Jehovah your God you should walk, him you should fear, his commandments you should keep, to his voice you should listen; he is the one you should serve, and to him you should hold fast. But that prophet or that dreamer should be put to death, because he encouraged rebellion against Jehovah your God—who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery—to turn you from the way in which Jehovah your God has commanded you to walk. And you must remove what is evil from your midst...And you must stone him to death, because he has sought to turn you away from Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Then all Israel will hear and become afraid, and they will never again do anything bad like this among you. In case you hear it said in one of your cities that Jehovah your God is giving you to occupy, ‘Good-for-nothing men have gone out among you to turn away the inhabitants of their city, saying: “Let us go and serve other gods,” gods that you have not known,’ you should look into the matter, making a thorough investigation and inquiry; and if it is confirmed to be true that this detestable thing has been done among you, you should without fail strike down the inhabitants of that city with the sword. Devote it and everything that is in it, including its livestock, to destruction by the sword. You should then collect all its spoil into the middle of its public square and burn the city with fire, and its spoil will serve as a whole offering to Jehovah your God. It will become a permanent heap of ruins. It should never be rebuilt. Your hand should take nothing that was set apart for destruction, so that Jehovah may turn away from his burning anger and show you mercy and compassion and multiply you, just as he has sworn to your forefathers. For you should obey Jehovah your God by keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, thus doing what is right in the eyes of Jehovah your God."
Jehovah is making an accounting with Bethel. He has made a "thorough investigation". It will become "as a heap of ruins", for they have encouraged worship of false gods, namely, worship of the Governing Body as "a FDS" idol.
Mark Sanderson talks about listening when it comes to those who want to report the tin cans and the cardboard boxes, but when those hurt by abuse in the congregations write to him and the others at Bethel again and again and again and beg for help, what does Mark Sanderson do? He has his secretary stamp "REJECTED" in big red letters on the communications and send it back to the abuse victim. He and the GB have the "Legal Department" shame and defame victims and protect the abusers. The GB closes their ears to the cry of complaint of the poor ones abused by elders and then the GB takes the poor Bethelites to task for getting a few nickels and dimes from cardboard boxes and tin can recycling.
Mark Sanderson said: "So when you're charged with making an audit, that's really what you have to do. You have to make a thorough investigation. So when you're going through the records, brothers, if something doesn't seem to be right to you, please don't look the other way."
Mark Sanderson and the other men on the Governing Body have continued to "look the other way" when CSA and other abuses happen in the JWBorg.
Mark Sanderson said: "Well, ah, you know it had to be investigated, looked into. And, ah, it had to be dealt with appropriately.
So ah, take the time. If someone comes and mentions something to you, that they're concerned about something that they see while you're doing your audit at the branch, listen to them. Hear them out. And make sure you understand exactly what they're trying to explain to you. And if it is a matter of concern, well then, please do report it."
Jehovah has heard the cries of those hurt by the disfellowshipping doctrine and the mishandling of abuse cases and all the other treacherous reproachful things the WTBT$ leadership have done. Jehovah has investigated and Jehovah has audited and Jehovah is not going to look the other way. His anger is blazing against the WTBT$, and they are about to find out what it is like to be the target of Jehovah's anger.
Mark Sanderson said: "Ah, please feel free to communicate with our office, with Brother Bartlett and the brothers that are working with him. And, ah, we know that Jehovah is going to bless this and as a result we're going to be able to say to Jehovah that we've looked after his resources in a fine way, and that none of his precious possessions are missing."
Jehovah's precious possessions are not the cardboard boxes and tin cans. Jehovah's precious possessions are all the abused sheep and the little lambs that the WTBT$ has abused and kicked to the side and abandoned and shredded. Jehovah will gather those little sheep and Jehovah will make an accounting with those disgusting false shepherds at Bethel.
John Ekrann said: "you could see from Brother Sanderson's comments how seriously the Governing Body takes the work that you brothers are doing.
Ah, in the last year or two, I think you recognize there's been a lot more emphasis on our money. And, ah, what's happening to our money and how's that money being spent. So I think, it gives the Governing Body a great deal of confidence to know that we have brothers who are looking at how the money's being spent and to make sure that our money isn't bleeding off, ah, somewhere."
Jeremiah 7:9-15
"Can you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make sacrifices to Baʹal, and follow after gods you had not known, and then come and stand before me in this house that bears my name and say, ‘We will be saved,’ despite your doing all these detestable things? Has this house that bears my name become a cave of robbers in your eyes? Here I have seen it for myself,” declares Jehovah. “‘However, go now to my place in Shiʹloh, where I first caused my name to reside, and see what I did to it because of the badness of my people Israel. But you kept doing all these things,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and even though I spoke to you again and again, you did not listen. I kept calling you, but you would not answer. So I will do to the house that bears my name, in which you are trusting, and to this place that I gave to you and your forefathers, just as I did to Shiʹloh. I will throw you out of my sight, just as I threw out all your brothers, all the descendants of Eʹphra·im."
Jehovah has not changed. He has appointed a faithful auditor. Jesus sees the record and is coming to carry out the accounting. It's foretold in Revelation and the gospels. It's as good as done.
WTBT$ and John Ekrann and the Governing Body boys are about to see what's going to happen to all their money. And all of their prominence.
POOF!
(Bye-bye WTBT$.)
