AboutBrother Rando Expertise Jehovah is the same now and has been from time indefinite to time indefinite. God never changes. "God is not a man that he should tell lies, Neither a son of mankind that he should feel regret." (Numbers 23:19) However, the Only-Begotten Son has a different History. Michael the Archangel, who is "the beginning of ALL Creation", humbled himself and became a "perfect man" through human birth and was given a name, Jesus (Pilippians2:6-11) anointed "Christ" by Jehovah's Holy Spirit at 30,(John 1:32-36)resurrected to a "Superior Position". (Philippians 2:9,10) When Exalted to Heaven to the angels who were imprisoned during Noah's Time.(1Peter 3:19) He preached that angels and authorities and powers were now made subject to him.(1Peter3:22) Satan rejected Michael's "Superior Position" (Philippians 2:9) and rejected his new Name (Jesus) Rev 3:12 so that every knee should bend of those in heaven.(Philippians 2:10) In 1914, War broke out in Heaven when Christ and his angels cleansed the heavens of satan's influence.(Rev 12:7-19) Satan is now deceiving the inhabited earth about this Glorious Good News about the Christ.(2 Cor 4:4) John called Jesus, "the Lamb of God" at the time of his Anointing.(John 1:36) Michael and Jesus are the same person in being the Chief Son. Michael was created by Jehovah God and brought AGAIN into the inhabited earth, GIVEN authority over Heaven and earth as "Jesus Christ".(Heb 1:6-9) However "Woe to the earth" because the Devil having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time. (Rev 12:12) The battle over Jehovah's Sovereignty is between two Angels. Christ and Satan.(Rev 12:7) Jesus is the Archangel that battles Satan.(1 Thess 4:16) Also, read Galatians 4:14, Exodus 14:19, 1 Cor 10:1-4 Heb 5:5,5:8 Acts 13:33 Psalms 2:7-9 Exodus 23:20-21. Research Angel of Great Counsel. Jesus Christ,“the Faithful Witness,”(Rev 1:5) These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God.(Rev 3:14)
Experience I am a baptized Jehovah's Witness bearing Witness to "The Truth" for decades now and will gladly answer questions from sheep like one's. The wolves I will pummel and continue to Conquer, for the One that Conquers is given the morning star! (Rev 2:28)
Organizations I am property of the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" that Jesus, my brother, has appointed over his belongings in the Last Days. This Slave is Jehovah's Earthly Organization known Worldwide as "Jehovah's Witnesses". When the World organizations act against God's chosen people after Babylon has fallen, Jehovah will slaughter those who are touching the pupils of his eyes.
Publications 1 Thess 4:16 Scripture stating "the Lord himself", "Commanding Call", "Archangels' Voice", and "God's Trumpet" give overwhelming evidence that this is the "word of God" himself. The fact remains that Jesus is called "the word of God", and for good reason. He alone is Jehovah's Chief Messenger! Archangel when Translated means "Chief Son" or "Principle Son". Yes, Even Foremost Son. This Chief Messenger delivers God's message of Salvation that everyone believing in him might be saved! In prayer, Jesus refers to his Father has "the only true God". (John 17:3)
Education/Credentials Extensive Study of Religions and the Scriptures I am able to answer questions few people know about or can even answer. Many of my fellow brothers and sisters are given Insight as they learn from the True God Jehovah, who is the "Revealer Of Secrets." I am Nothing but a fellow messenger who slaves for His Master. I am NOT an EXPERT, I know "the truth" and that "the truth" is my brother and I do what "my brother" wants of me. As for the World, it Hates me as the World hated my brother before me. Amen.
Awards and Honors Here's a NON JW Site discrediting the Trinity in great detail. Others are finding that the Jehovah Witnesses are RIGHT! http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/adrianbiblestudents/trinityfalsedoctrine.html
In the deceptive translation of the KJV, it denies that Christ died and was risen on the third day, instead the KJV states Jesus and the evildoer went to Paradise in the same day they were to die. "today you will be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43 KJV) A clever way to deny that Christ was to rise on the third day! The NWT is the only correct translation of ALL translations, stating, “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” JW's know that Christ went to Sheol for parts of three days. Satan wants you to believe Jesus didn't die but went to Paradise? Trinitarians, Born Agains, and all of False Religion have rejected the sign of Jonah which Jesus gave. (Luke 11:29) Today, the same hypocrites deny the Parousia of the Christ and continue to deny the composite or collective sign of the Last Days that we have already entered!
Past/Present Clients It was evident that Paul preached to some of the scribes that he seen an angel and that this spirit was in fact Jesus in his true form even though premature. (Acts 9:3-5, Acts 23:9, Rev 22:16) The KJV is a "Doctrine of Mistranslations." Few know the KJV as well as JW's do. Theos when translated to English means (a god) as it is written in Acts 28:6. However, through Deception, the KJV leaves the article out of John 1:1. Which way is it "a" or not "a" is the question. Because if "a" is inserted then the True Scripture is revealed in John 1:1. And if the "a" is to be removed, then how can Paul be God in Acts 28:6? The KJV, simply a book of evolution that Christendom's Translators can't get right. LOL
Question I was recently talking to a Jehovah’s Witness brother who was doing some carpentry work for me about his take on the mistakes or changes in doctrine the Watchtower has made in the past regarding dates, Beth Serim, the worship of Jesus, etc. His explanation was from Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established”. (NWT)
I think the words light and truth are interchangeable here, and God would NEVER reveal something that is wrong or false. Did you know there is an old Watchtower (I have a copy of it, but I couldn't figure out how to attach it to this e-mail) that says, “A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth…but adds to it”? So how can this verse possibly be used as an excuse for mistakes made by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society when even their own Watchtower magazine has said in the past that “New Light” never extinguishes older “light”?
Sincerely, Doug
Answer I agree with your assessment that light and truth are interchangeable. I also think understanding, knowledge, and wisdom are interchangeable with light and truth. And by the means of Jesus Christ we (Jehovah Witnesses) are coming to an Accurate Knowledge. It is a work in progress for Jehovah's word is alive and exerts power.
However, you are misapplying the scripture at Proverbs 4:18. How can the light get lighter and lighter unless the righteous ones where in the dark in their beginning? If the "righteous ones" always knew the truth from the beginning, then there would be no need for the light to get lighter. The light continues to get lighter until "the day" is firmly established. The day is Christ Millennial Reign of a thousand years. Peter, who made many mistakes in the beginning, began to understand as the light got lighter and said, "However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."(2 Peter 3:8) SO many scriptures where finally explained and from the beginning, we now know Adam died within that day of a thousand years, which is the same time limit used for the Day of Resurrection. (John 11:23) And now we know that the anointed will rule as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. (Rev 20:4)
Do the righteous ones ever fall down? Yes! Many times!
(Proverbs 24:16) For the righteous one may fall even seven times, and he will certainly get up
(1 John 2:1) My little children, I am writing YOU these things that YOU may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one.
So as the light continues to get lighter, the righteous ones enjoy a spiritual enlightenment. Today, the truth is getting more specific and it's the Watchtower that brings this fine food.
It's the Witnesses that are fine tuning their message and being more specific. For one, in the past, it was said that Jehovah had a plan. Because the light is getting lighter, it is now said that Jehovah has a Purpose, because a plan can be thwarted but his purpose can not. At first we spoke of a second coming and from deep study we have come to a deeper understanding of the Greek word "parousia" means "presence". Again evidence of the light getting lighter.
This "spiritual enlightenment" can happen for individuals as well as for an organization. At one time many believed the trinity doctrine but further study has given Jehovah Witnesses spiritual enlightenment that Jesus is not Jehovah as (1 John 2:1) indicates. For if Jesus was Jehovah, he certainly would not be called "a helper" or "an advocate".
Brother Rando
PS
"I continue mentioning YOU in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give YOU a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him;" (Eph 1:16-17) Notice your Bible says (knowledge) but the NWT is very much more specific and accurate. Proof of the light getting lighter. Amen
