Dear Brothers in the promises,
May the peace and love of God and his people and his laws
fill your hearts and minds.
Here is our service to God for you…
The Battle of Jericho
We have realised that our calendar change from Biblical Lunar
to Abib Biblical Lunar, which delayed our battle by 30 days, is in fact the
fulfilment of Joshua 6:11
11
And he had the ark of Jehovah [The chronology and reality of the descent
of Jesus and the Zoar administration of the LWs that he runs] go
marching round the city, to circle, time one [The LWs changed their calendar on
2008April29=2008Iyyar22BLC=2008Nisan22ABLC, after no 1NC saints showed up for
the festival of cakes, by one month, 30 days, or one time. We added a second
Adar to 2007 because barley was not Abib - headed - in Israel on 2008March7. Yes we did a 30 day chronological
circle in the first week of weeks, the first 'day' of our campaign, we ran
2008Nisan twice! For the Jews were the geographical people of God, but we are
the chronological people of God. The Hebrews circled Jericho 13x of course but
the account actually says that they performed a circle only once, on the first
day. So word symbolically, there is only one circle. It was a circle of a month,
which is a time], and they returned to the camp [LW
HQ]
and stayed overnight in the camp (Joshua 6).
So now the battle of Jericho lasts for 7 campaign days, each
of which is 7 days long. It’s timetable is therefore none other than the
festival of weeks. Each Sabbath of weeks is a day of the Jericho campaign. The 7th
Sabbath ends on 2008Sivan5, and this defines a Jubilee for the Watchtower
whereby your wall falls down on 2008Sivan6. On that day you are released to
serve God himself rather than rendering sacred service to those whom you believe
to be the stars of the heavens, and to serve the master, our Lord Jesus Christ,
rather than his fallen wicked slave.
We are now in the third week of this campaign. This letter is
our message for the third week (we think). Here is an easy to follow timetable
of Jericho and of future events from the chronological people of God, the
Lords’ Witnesses. All dates are in the new ABLC.
2008Nisan17 2008April23/24
The 1st day of the Kingdom of God on earth, the 1st
literal day of Jericho the first day of the 50 count of the festival of weeks.
We announced this kingdom would come on this day before it came. That was
supposed to be your job!
2008Nisan22 2008April29
The LWs perform a one month long chronological circle with their biblical
lunar calendar, running 2008Nisan for a second time.
2008Nisan23 2008April30/May1
The 1st literal day of the 2nd Sabbath of weeks.
2008Nisan26 2008May3/4
We send you our 4th attempt at the 40 day Jonah warning,
saying that the Watchtower will be overturned on 2008Sivan6, Pentecost, your
Jubilee.
2008Nisan30 2008May7/8
The 1st literal day of the 3rd Sabbath of weeks.
2008Iyyar5
2008May11/12 This letter,
detailing the final (we hope) chronology of Jericho.
2008Iyyar7 2008May13/14
The Jubilee of the LWs, the 10th hour of the 7th
day of the 50th month of our monthly Sabbath system (which is May14
at around 5 pm). The ram’s horn of the Jubilee is blown in this hour and all
LWs who have ever left or been disfellowshipped are invited to return, whatever
their sin may have been. That is the love of God, a love that endures all things
and a love that conquers all. This is the blowing of the ram’s horn in the
battle of Jericho. This day is also the 1st day of the 4th
Sabbath of weeks.
2008Iyyar14 2008May20. This is also the 1st day of the 5th Sabbath of weeks. It is also of course, the late Passover, which is the evening meal of the lamb’s marriage. We again invite you to attend this historic event. But the scriptures are against your turning up at first, since we know that you are to deny the Christ 3 times, in this very night, before the cock crows…
31
Then Jesus said to them: All of you [Literally:
All the 144,000 1NC saints. Word: 1NC saints in the JWs]
will be stumbled in me in this night, for it is
written, 'I will strike the shepherd [This happened of course when Jesus was arrested
on 33Nisan14. The first lord's evening meal. But the 1NC reserves will also be
stumbled on 2008Iyyar14, the last lord's evening meal. For 'all of you' includes
them.], and
the sheep of the flock will be scattered about.'
32
But after I have been raised up,
I will go ahead of you into Galilee [the
Land of the LWs].
33
But Peter [The
1NC saints running the Watchtower, FDS3/WSS2/GNS2], in answer, said to him: Although
all the others are stumbled in you, never will I be stumbled!
34
Jesus said to him: Truly I say to you, In this night, before a cock crows [Gordon
saying Cockadoodledoo, the first birth pang has just happened - wake up you
sleepy heads], you will disown me three times
[On 2008March22 when the Watchtower celebrated the memorial
incorrectly having been told several times how to do it right! On 2008April20
when the 1NC saints did not turn up at the LW evening meal, and again on
2008May20 if they do not come to the late Passover of the ABLC, would make 3
denials for the lord's evening meal of 2008!] (Matthew 26).
See www.truebiblecode.com/understanding15.html
2008Iyyar15-21 The greater Festival of Cakes. We bake food
where one sprinkles one’s interpretations on to the scriptures as we have done
above, rather than cakes where one sprinkles scriptures on to one’s
interpretations, as the Watchtower does. The former are unleavened cakes, the
latter are leavened cakes. For Jesus said: Watch out for the leaven of the
Pharisees, meaning watch out for the teaching of the Pharisees. Since man cannot
live by their bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from Jehovah’s
mouth. That means researching the bible without the ‘help’ of the
Watchtower! For by the sweat of your brow you will eat bread. One
cannot contract out that sweating to another brow!
2008Iyyar17 or 2008Iyyar21, 2008May23/24 or 2008May27/28.
These are the 7th day of the week in the 7th festival
after late cakes 2006, or the 7th day of the 7th festival
after late cakes 2006, the fulfilment of 1Kings18:43-44. This is the day that
the stone of Daniel2 hits one or both of the feet of the image. It is a small
nuclear or very large conventional terror attack on a target in the US, around
the Midtown area of Manhattan perhaps from the Hudson. This is followed by an
attack on the other foot, the UK, we do not know where, but it will presumably
be a government target. This is the first birth pang of the kingdom on earth.
The crow of the cock is the trumpet blast of the LWs following this event.
2008Iyyar21 2008May27/28
The 1st day of the 6th Sabbath of weeks.
2008Iyyar28 2008June3/4
The 1st day of the 7th Sabbath of weeks.
2008Iyyar29 2008June4/5
The last day of the 1335 days of Daniel12. Melchizedek descends to claim
his earthly kingdom. He is the second Adam, the second non adamic human to be
born. He therefore has the firstborn rights of Adam from a human standpoint, and
actually he ransomed his human body. So he is the human king of earth of the
Kingdom of God. God bless the Prince. He is the antitypical prince with the
drawn sword, who will direct the last week of the Jericho campaign, where we go
round the city 7 times even. He becomes the king of the Kingdom on earth around
the time the Gordon marries the 2NC saints – we think.
2008Sivan5 2008June10/11
The 7th day of the last Sabbath of weeks.
2008Sivan6 2008June11/12
Pentecost, the Jubilee release for the JWs, the wall of Jericho falls
down. The 1NC saints descend from heaven upon that wall. The Pentecost
proclamation of Leviticus 23:21 is made by Peter and the 11 apostles we think.
God bless the kings! The holy spirit of the kingdom is literally poured out! The
greater flood on Noah begins. All humans left on earth are dead by the 370th
day, which is 2009Sivan15.
The Watchtower celebrates no Sabbaths and no Festivals. They
only hold the observance of the memorial. But Nisan14 is not a Sabbath. The
Passover is not a festival. So God will save you, at least the 2/3rds of you
that are to be saved, by a festival of Sabbaths! In fact on the Jubilee at the
end of that festival, which Jubilee is Pentecost. For he will celebrate your
release and declare it even if your leaders ignore all his instructions in these
matters.
So why did the first century Christian church celebrate
Pentecost after Jesus had ended the law? And why did the holy spirit bless that
festival in a way that no other festival had ever been blessed if they were not
supposed to celebrate it? Indeed if the first century church had been like you
and not kept any of God’s festivals, then who would have received the gifts of
the spirit?
Do you think God gave up on the 3 festivals a year idea when
Jesus died? Did he realise that idea wasn’t any good any more? Did Jesus die
to end all festivals as well as ending all Sabbaths do you think? Should the
Jews rejoice at their harvest of physical food, but Christians not rejoice at
our harvest of men and of spiritual food? We know that the law contained a
shadow of the good things to come. What then did the 3 annual festivals of the
law foreshadow – nothing? Well Zechariah disagrees…
16 And it must occur
[that], as regards everyone who is left remaining out of all the nations that
are coming against Jerusalem, they must also go up from year to year to bow down
to the King, Jehovah of armies, and to celebrate the festival of the booths
(Zechariah 14).
We know that Zechariah 14 applies to the last days.
Gordon remembers sitting in a Kingdom hall and being told
that the faithful slave will never as a group go wrong. He remembers thinking to
himself at that moment, didn’t Peter say something like that? He thought: Will
the faithful slave do better than Peter? Well here we are a decade and more
later, and the slave has denied Jesus twice, and has been stumbled twice upon
the night not of the first lord’s evening meal, but of the evening meal of the
lamb’s marriage. So will you now fill up the measure of the one whom you
condemned?
May the King of the Kingdom open your eyes and bless us all
with his peace his love his mercy and with a bit of his wisdom

An
Open Letter to all Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Bethels around the world
2008Iyyar12
Dear Brothers in the promises,
May the love of God move your hearts to move your minds to
move your feet.
Here is our service to God for you…
Here we are 25 days into the Kingdom of God. This is the half
way point in the 50 day battle of Jericho, which ends at Pentecost on
2008Sivan6.
A few months ago I complained to the USDA that the Chicago
wheat pit was settling the price of wheat unfairly at the end of each trading
session. The wheat traders at the CBOT were marking the price of wheat down by
around 5 cents at the end of each day. This corruption only existed in wheat,
not in corn or soy beans. The worldly authorities listened to me, and a few
weeks ago I spoke to the guy in charge of market regulation there, who explained
to me that they had implemented a computer calculated volume weighted average
system for determining the settlement price of wheat. As a result that
particular corruption in the wheat market in Chicago has now ended.
I wrote to the Watchtower as baptised Jehovah’s witness in
1994 just before the memorial and explained that you were celebrating that
observance incorrectly. I spoke to Dan Sydlik on the Governing Body at that
time, who said: Well hopefully the holy spirit makes up for those sort of
things. Well yes it does if the mistake is made out of ignorance. But today in
2008, 14 years later you have not changed the memorial celebration one iota,
despite many warnings from me.
So the Chicago Board of Trade which rooted out the corruption
that I exposed in a matter of months has behaved more righteously than you,
God’s children, who have failed to root out a far more significant corruption
for 14 years after it was exposed.
Jesus found more faith outside Israel than in it, and I have
found more righteousness outside the Watchtower than within.
Brothers, Satan has corrupted your leaders. That is how he
does it. He cannot corrupt everyone, so he has two simple tactics.
Step 1: Make everyone an idolater of the leadership group
Step 2: Corrupt the leadership group.
Then, by corrupting a few power junkies, he gets to corrupt a
whole church. In fact that is how he corrupts the world as well. He sees who is
the most desperate for power, he elevates that one into power and controls him
by threatening to remove his power unless he does what Satan wants. He then has
a vast media machine to make 6 billion people into idolaters of their leaders
whom he controls. In that way he controls nearly everyone through a few power
junkies who are addicted to a commodity which he controls.
Here is the solution to these two corrupting tactics. Obey
the first two laws of God…
Law 1: Love God more than the church and more than its leaders and more that its president and more than its circuit overseers and more than its elders etc.
Law 2: Love your brother in the church or in the world as
yourself.
Applying law 1 leads you to study the bible for yourself and
develop your own spirituality and understanding, rather than the spirituality or
understanding of the present leaders of the Watchtower. The bible is protection
from idolatry of the priesthood. If you fail to do this you are an idolater. As
I said in the previous letter you must live not by the bread of the church alone
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God, that is every word of
the bible. You must study that book for yourself with the aid of any other
material you like for the spiritual man examines indeed all things. The idolater
follows not the words of Paul but the words of the idol he worships. This is the
deep thing of Satan, the worship of a priesthood. You must follow the master and
not his slave if there is a conflict and there is always some kind of conflict.
Applying law 2 leads you to meet with anyone who is
interested in God. For Jesus refused nobody. He met and ate with demonised men,
prostitutes, Pharisees, lepers, world rulers and Satan himself. That is our
example. We must love them all whilst hating their sin.
The greatest mistake the Watchtower has made is their refusal
to meet with the LWs. This refusal has held bible research back for 16 years and
has lead to the kingdom of God arriving without the bible being properly
understood. That is a tragedy that no one can undo. God will make up for it by
sending 144,000 first new covenant angels down here in the next 2 months who
will help us and guide us. Some of them will be the very people who refused to
speak to the LWs before they died.
But it is a catastrophic failure for God’s old and new
people that we have not done this one job properly. We have failed because you
have no love for us. You have broken the second law. And your love for the truth
has been conquered by your fear of a corrupt priesthood, so that you have broken
the first law. You are in love with the man of lawlessness, the good for nothing
slave of Matthew 25. A slave who like Robert Mugabe robs you of everything you
have and like the Junta in Burma keeps all the aid the LWs send for themselves.
Satan has won that battle. We have lost it.
When Jesus said: I was sick and in prison and your visited me
not, do you think that does not apply to you? Whom did Jesus shun in his
ministry? You know you should treat a disfellowshipped person like a man of the
nations or a tax collector. Which tax collector do you shun? Examine the way you
treat those whom have been disfellowshipped and decide whether you are a
Christian or an idolater of a wicked slave.
There are hundreds possibly thousands of Jehovah’s
witnesses who believe that the LWs are indeed the church of the second new
covenant. They believe we are being used by God. But they are too frightened of
being shunned to leave the Watchtower or to even contact us to do some joint
research. It is worse the communist Russia. Why do you people not understand
that any religion that is enforced out of fear is valueless?
If those hundreds and thousands had been permitted to
research along with us, we would all be shining like the stars of the heavens
already. It is a great tragedy which will haunt us both for a long time to come.
For you are a church which knocks on everyone’s door but will not open when
people knock on your door and neither will you knock or permit your flock to
knock on Jesus’ door for themselves. A church of hypocrites. It is like Jesus
said:
13 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for you yourselves do
not go in, neither do you permit those on their way in to go in (Matthew 23).
You also broaden your scripture containing briefcases! The
Watchtower fulfils again all of Matthew 23. Have a look at that chapter and
consider its modern day fulfilment.
You were set up by Russell to advance bible research and your
have ended up holding back that research for 16 years since 1992, in fact. And
it is too late for man to fix the disaster your idolatry has caused. Were it not
for the foreknowledge and love of God we would hardly save anyone into the
priesthood or kingship of the kingdom in this time of the end. Your leaders have
wrecked the Watchtower completely and pretty nearly wrecked the next true
church, the Lords’ Witnesses. Well done! But that does not matter to you does
it? What matters to you is that you are still in control, even today, when the
Kingdom has been going for 25 days.
Control, Power, Status before men, Money, that is where you
put your trust. Like every other false church before you, starting with the
Catholics, the mother of the harlots, whose daughter you have now become.
I feel some of the emotions that God must have felt when he
was chastising the Jews of old. Anger and sorrow, love bordering on despair. All
day long I have spread out my hands to you. One act of love would have done it.
One act of love. But that was too much to ask wasn’t it?
Well I am still asking and so is my God: Who is there in the
Watchtower whose love for David exceeds his fear of Goliath? Is there not one?
Well brothers with less affection than a woodlice, your time
has come.
Go ahead and deny Jesus for the third time on Tuesday night
why don’t you? It is your last chance to attend the evening meal of the
lamb’s marriage which we will hold in London, England and in Fargo, North
Dakota. It is your last chance to say thanks by doing what Jesus said and
keeping the observance in the way he prescribed. It is your last chance to take
a risk for the sake of Jesus. He risked everything for you. What then will you
risk for him? Will you deny him a third time on this very night as Peter did?
Will you?
May our loving Gods reprove you.

2008Iyyar19
Dear Brothers in the promises,
Well, we have at least succeeded in doing with you what we
have so far failed to do with fire from the heavens! We got a prophecy right and
regrettably you helped us in doing so. You failed to turn up for a 3rd
time at the evening meal of lamb’s marriage. Worse still, you failed to
investigate with us face to face if this was the right thing to do. Surely you
owed that at the very least to our saviour?
But no, you have filled up the measure of our forefathers,
the Israelites, to whom Moses said, referring to the close of the days…
27
For I, I well know your rebelliousness and your
stiff neck. If while I am yet alive with you today, you have proved
rebellious in behavior toward Jehovah, then how much more so after my death! 28
Congregate to me all the older men of your tribes and your officers, and let me
speak in their hearing these words, and let me take the heavens and the earth as
witnesses against them. 29 For I well know that after my death
you will without fail act ruinously, and you will certainly turn aside from the
way about which I have commanded you; and calamity will be bound to befall you
at the close of the days, because you will do what is bad in the eyes of
Jehovah so as to offend him by the works of your hands (Deuteronomy 31).
Breaking bread and lifting
cups were the works God was looking for from you, not making idolatrous images
out of yourselves.
So then, now that you have conclusively proved that you will
not respond to any spiritual stimuli even in the most serious of circumstances,
God who will always love you, would appear to have no option left but to give
you a physical stimulus in the form of a chronological sign.
I mean, our heavenly father could try, say, another half
dozen transparently true and divinely beautiful and majestically deep scriptural
interpretations on you, but let’s face it, I think we both know he would be
wasting his time wouldn’t he?
So on the 7th day of the 7th festival
after our first failed prediction we will get the stone of Daniel 2 hitting the
feet of the giant image. This is a terrorist attack in the US and in the UK, the
two feet of that image. We think the US attack will be on the west side of
Manhattan. The 7th such festival is late Cakes 2008 which started on
2008Iyyar15. The 7th day of that festival is 2008Iyyar21. This day is
a festival Sabbath. Now 2008Iyyar15 is 7x back from the rapture on
2008Chislev15. So cryptically if you go back 7x (7 months) from the rapture
which is when we start to “go up”, you end up at the very same 7th
festival after our first failed nuclear prediction. The rapture is the point
during the greater flood where Noah opens the window and the birds fly out.
So we expect the mushroom cloud of 1Kings18:44 from either a
small nuclear or a very large conventional bomb to fill our TV screens between
sundown Tuesday May 27 and sundown Wednesday May 28. The two feet may not be hit
on the same day literal day, but the first foot is hit on 2008Iyyar21 in our
present understanding which is our 78th attempt at the precise day of
the first birth pang of the kingdom of God. So if we are right then we will have
made 77 mistakes as regards attempting to get the very day of this bomb.
The thing is, you know, that at some point all this
theoretical Armageddon stuff becomes real and physical. That point is next week
in our much corrected understanding. My view is that it is worth avoiding
midtown west side between 37th and 57th street, this being
a 10 block radius from 47th street where we held the late Passover in
2006. But that isn’t going to happen either is it? So may God look after those
with faith and those with love.
It has not been my favourite job being a prophet of doom to
the greater Nineveh, but thankfully that job is now almost over. It is so lovely
when one gets an account correct however, one feels that perhaps at last one
knows precisely what God is asking of us. I hope this time our information is of
some use physically as well as spiritually.
May our loving Gods save you.

How bad a sin was it for the
Watchtower to join itself to the UN as an NGO affiliated to the UN DPI??
All churches are subject to the law
of the land but no church should make itself subject to the rules of another
organisation. Such an agreement is a corporate joining which gives the church a
second head. It is therefore an act of harlotry to a God who requires exclusive
devotion...
16 What! Do you not know that he who is joined to a
harlot is one body? For, The 2, says he, will be one flesh. (1Corinthians6).
Anyone who brings an idol into the
temple is an idolater. So if you spend the whole meeting trying to sell double
glazing to your brother you are an idolater. But if a church agreed to install a
permanent double glazing sales booth in selected congregations near you, for a
limited period, whilst stocks last, then the church itself, as a body, would be
an idolater, but not a harlot. The harlotry occurs when the church agrees to
follow the rules, the headship, of a worldly organisation. For once subject to
the rules of any other organisation by agreement, it has become one body with
that outfit and the outfit has a permanent wing in the temple. This is harlotry
by the church.
So if for example a church joined
the tennis club as a corporate member, this would also be harlotry. Even if the
only result was that every member of the church had to mow the lawn of the
tennis club once a year, it is still harlotry, because the church is joined by
agreement to the tennis club and subject to its laws, which have added to the
laws of God.
So the harlotry of the Watchtower
with the UN, was not that the UN would one day battle with the lamb nor was it
that the UN is the throne of Satan (Revelation 2:13), nor was it that they had
condemned the UN in 1963 and resolved never to have anything to do with it. The
harlotry was merely that they joined the temple to a worldly outfit by agreeing
to follow its rules, specifically the rules that apply to any NGO associated
with the UN DPI.
However the bottom line is that the
Watchtower was joined to the throne of Satan, in fact to the palace of the 8th
world power. For the 2 became one corporate body. His throne was therefore
placed in the temple of the Watchtower for almost 10 years from January 1992
until October 2001. Any JW knowing this, who remains in that church is a
worshipper of Satan.
He is condoning the biggest
possible insult to God and Jesus that a church can make. In fact since the
temple was joined to God, the truth is that Satan succeeded in joining his
throne to God himself through the UN-Watchtower association. This was the
disgusting thing having stood in a holy place, that both Jesus and Daniel
referred to. It is true that the throne has now been removed, but the Watchtower
has put in writing that it is absolutely unrepentant for this act. So by
remaining a JW you condone the act of putting Satan’s throne in God’s
temple. If that is not a sufficiently strong reason to persuade you to leave the
Watchtower, then you are lost to idolatry of your Lord, the head of the
Watchtower. You have become a status worshipper, a worshipper of your human
spiritual leaders rather than of God. This is the greater Baal worship. For Baal
means Lord.
This of course was one of the 3
tests that Jesus passed. However his church fails all 3 of them. For all
scripture must have power. In this case Satan offered all the territories of the
world to the Watchtower for evangelism in return for one little UN NGO
signature.
May our loving God save you.

Our reference: Jerichos71
What is a Harlot Church and who is
the Mother of the Harlots??
“We must go further and
implicate, other churches united to the empires of earth. Every church claiming
to be a chaste virgin espoused to Christ, but in reality united to and supported
by the world, we must condemn as being in scripture language a harlot church.”
(Watchtower November 1879).
“What
has been the truth about the world’s religious situation, particularly that of
Christendom? In November 1879 The Watch Tower stated:
“Every church claiming to be a chaste virgin espoused to Christ, but in
reality united to and supported by the world . . . we must condemn as being in
scripture language a harlot church. . . . Yes
we believe the nominal church of today to be the Babylon of our text, which
falls. . . . The fall we expect will not be instantaneous; it will have a
beginning and will gather momentum as it falls until it is dashed to pieces.”
While it was not clear at that time just how this would come about, forewarned
by God’s prophetic truths concerning false religion, Jehovah’s servants
told their hearers to get out of this world’s religions, for these religions
were not serving God and would receive his adverse judgments.” (Watchtower
August 1971)
In
human terms, a wife plays the harlot when she permits another man to control her
body. She does this for whatever she can get from him in terms of comfort or
security or excitement.
In
scriptural terms, the true church is indeed wedded to the Christ who is her
head. And it is subject to God’s law. For Jehovah is the head of the Christ.
If a
church permits another organization to control its body, which is its
congregation, by agreeing to submit itself to the law of that organization, then
it is playing the harlot to God. It is adding worldly law to God’s law. It is
joining itself to the world. It is uniting itself with the world through the
agreement with the worldly organization. It becomes a worldly church like all
the others before it.
So a
harlot church is a church which joins a worldly organization thereby becoming
subject to laws which are not from God, who is supposed to be its only lawgiver.
We
know that the Watchtower joined the UN as an NGO for nearly 10 years. The excuse
that this was only done in order to get a library card does not lessen the
harlotry. It merely cheapens it.
We have recently discovered that
the Watchtower is presently joined as an NGO to the OSCE, the Organisation for
Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Whilst this organisation may well
have laudable goals, it is a worldly outfit and no such outfit has goals as
laudable as those of God. The Watchtower is sadly once again playing the harlot.
The Mother of all Harlots is the
Roman Catholic church for this was the first true Christian church to sell out
to a worldly outfit, which outfit was the Roman state. Later born churches which
follow the Catholics in this harlotry are daughters of the Roman Catholic
church. They are harlot daughters of a harlot mother. This is the first century
meaning of Revelation 17. This interpretation, known in the first and second
centuries, is most likely the reason that the book of Revelation does not appear
in the Vatican B manuscript. Of course the Catholic church has NGO agreements
with both the UN and the OSCE. It is one hell of a harlot!
There is a ghastly claim by the OSCE that:
"Representatives of civil society sit with governments on an equal
footing." Whereas Paul said: Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers
(2Corinthians6:14).

“Apparently Eusebius ignored Jesus’ requirement
that His followers be “no part of the world.” (John 17:16; 18:36)
“Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity
with God?” asked the disciple James. (James 4:4) And how appropriate is
Paul’s admonition: Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers”! (2 Corinthians
6:14) May we remain separate from the world as we “worship [the Father] with
spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) Watchtower 2003 15th July, p31
The latest Watchtower says: “As a travelling
missionary Paul was well acquainted with the religious practices and
philosophical scruples of diverse people. Thus to the Christians in Corinth he
wrote…
14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For
what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does
light have with darkness?
15
Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what portion does a
faithful person have with an unbeliever?
16
And what agreement does God's temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a
living God; just as God said: I shall reside among them and walk among [them],
and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.
17
'Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,' says Jehovah, 'and
quit touching the unclean thing'; 'and I will take you in.' (1 Corinthians 6). Watchtower
2008 June1
We cannot improve upon these words. The Watchtower having played the harlot with the UN and having learned nothing from it, continues to play the harlot with the OSCE. It is therefore unclean, by its own admissions in the most recent copy of its magazine. In fact, it stands condemned by its own mouthpiece in articles stretching back to the days of Charles Taze Russell and forward to this very day. Do you read your own magazines?
If, therefore, you are a Christian, you will leave the harlot church of the Watchtower and God will take you in. If you support church harlotry you will stay and God will not take you in.
May our loving God save you.

When
someone attacks you, trying to kill you, they lose their right to their life,
their blood. You gain the right to use their life, their blood, only to save
your own. You can choose to kill them and spill their blood in self defence with
impunity. If your life is in danger then you can make any use of their blood,
their life, that in your judgment protects or saves your life, your blood. So
you can make any life protecting use of an attacker's blood without his consent,
since his attack on your life, your blood, is an implied consent. The legal
effect of the attack is merely to grant a consent to the victim to use the
attacker's blood in a life protecting way. Therefore you can make any life
protecting use of a non attacker's blood with his consent. Therefore you can
take a blood transfusion from a consenting person in order to protect your life.
Putting
this in a more simple way. God's law on blood exists to protect the sanctity of
physical life which is represented by the blood and is owned by God. Therefore a
use of blood which saves a life, does not break the law which forbids abuse of
blood. It is actually the purpose of blood to protect life!!!
This
is not true of God's law on idolatry. If a false worshipper tells you he will
shoot you unless you do an act of false worship, the thing to do is to refuse,
and if necessary, kill him, run or get shot.
Here is the relevant part of
1Samuel14:
23 And Jehovah proceeded on
that day to save Israel, and the battle itself passed over to Beth-aven.
24
And the men of Israel themselves were hard pressed on that day, and yet Saul put
the people under the pledge of an oath, saying: Cursed is the man that eats
bread before the evening and until I have taken vengeance upon my enemies! And
none of the people tasted bread.
25
And all those of the land came into the woods, when honey happened to be over
all the surface of the field.
26
When the people came into the woods, why, look! there was a dripping of
honey, but there was no one putting his hand to his mouth, because the people
were afraid of the oath.
27
As for Jonathan, he had not been listening when his father put the people under
an oath, so he stretched out the tip of the rod that was in his hand and dipped
it into the honeycomb and drew his hand back to his mouth, and his eyes began to
beam.
28
At this one of the people answered and said: Your father solemnly put the people
under oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man that eats bread today!' And the people
began to get tired.
29
However, Jonathan said: My father has brought ostracism upon the land.
See, please, how my eyes have beamed because I tasted this little bit of honey.
30
How much more so if the people had but eaten today from the spoil of their
enemies that they found! For now the slaughter upon the Philistines has not been
great.
31
And on that day they kept striking down the Philistines from Michmash to
Aijalon, and the people got to be very tired.
32
And the people began darting greedily at the spoil and taking sheep and cattle
and calves and slaughtering them on the earth, and the people fell to eating
along with the blood [they did not bleed them before they cooked them].
33
So they told Saul, saying: Look! The people are sinning against Jehovah by
eating along with the blood. At this he said: You have dealt treacherously.
First of all, roll a great stone to me.
34
After that Saul said: Scatter among the people, and you must say to them, 'Bring
near to me, each one of you, his bull and, each one, his sheep, and you must do
the slaughtering in this place and the eating, and you must not sin against
Jehovah by eating along with the blood.' Accordingly all the people brought near
each one his bull that was in his hand that night and did the slaughtering
there.
35
And Saul proceeded to build an altar to Jehovah. With it he started altar
building to Jehovah.
36
Later Saul said: Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them
until the morning lightens up, and let us not leave a single one among them. To
this they said: Anything that is good in your eyes do. Then the priest said: Let
us approach here to the [true] God.
37
And Saul began to inquire of God: Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will
you give them into the hand of Israel? And he did not answer him on that day.
38
So Saul said: Come near here, all you keymen of the people, and ascertain and
see in what way this sin has come to be today.
39
For as Jehovah, who is the Deliverer of Israel, is alive, even if it is in
Jonathan my son, yet he will positively die. But there was no one answering him
out of all the people.
40
And he went on to say to all Israel: You yourselves will come to be on the one
side, and I and Jonathan my son -- we will come to be on the other side. At this
the people said to Saul: What is good in your eyes do.
41
And Saul proceeded to say to Jehovah: Oh God of Israel, do give Thummim! Then
Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people themselves went out.
42
Saul now said: Cast lots to decide between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan
got to be taken.
43
Then Saul said to Jonathan: Do tell me, What have you done? So Jonathan told him
and said: I did for a fact taste a little honey on the tip of the rod that is in
my hand. Here I am! Let me die!
44
At this Saul said: Thus may God do and thus may he add to it, if you do not
positively die, Jonathan.
45
But the people said to Saul: Is Jonathan to die, who has performed this great
salvation in Israel? It is unthinkable! As Jehovah is alive, not as much as a
single hair of his head will fall to the earth; for it was with God that he
worked this day. With that the people redeemed Jonathan, and he did not die
46
So Saul withdrew from following the Philistines, and the Philistines themselves
went to their place (1 Samuel 14).
This is a very interesting and
technical account. Jonathon instigates an attack on the Philistines. Saul makes
the people swear an unnecessary oath that limits their ability to do God's work.
Jonathon inadvertently breaks this oath being unaware that it existed and God
blesses him and the attack nonetheless. Saul then attempts to instigate a
further attack on the Philistines on the next Hebrew day, but God does not
indicate that he will bless Saul's attack. It must have occurred to Saul that he
might be at fault, because he asks for Thummim to decide whose fault it is that
God refuses to bless the second attack. The Thummim decides that the fault lies
with either Jonathon or Saul. Thummim should be used by the priest not by the
king, although Saul may have asked the priest to use it. So the Thummim result
may not have been from God.
So
the lot came for Jonathon, and so Saul instantly and immediately condemned his
own son to death, a son whose battle against the Philistines had been blessed by
God all day long. But in truth it was Saul who was to blame by putting his men
in an impossible position with an oath that was tantamount to killing them. He
took Israel into the oath in order to appear to be as courageous as his son
Jonathon, with whom he was competing. He was actually jealous of his own son,
and he risked the lives of the whole army in order to enhance his popularity (he
could have run for office today on that ticket and won). Now God did not kill
those of the sons of Israel who had eaten blood along with their meat. He could
have instructed Saul to attack the Philistines and arranged for everyone who had
eaten blood to be killed for example. He could have instructed Samuel to speak
to Saul and tell him to kill everyone who had eaten blood. He could have sent an
angel and struck them all down as he did in the case of 70,000 of those who
agreed to be registered by Joab. But God did not punish any of his people, he
merely embarrassed Saul by failing to bless him as he had blessed his son. This
was in fact the perfect punishment for a King who had sought to increase his
popularity by risking the lives of his soldiers. God's response was to save the
lives of his soldiers and decrease the popularity of the King!
Now
clearly God did not make a mistake or forget about the men who had eaten the
blood! So there must have been extenuating circumstances for the sons of Israel
who abused blood. Well if you are prosecuting a war which requires you to chase
after people and hack them to pieces with swords, then being tired and hungry
and therefore weak, is a life threatening problem. So the extenuating
circumstances were that the soldiers were in mortal danger. If the Philistines
had launched a counter attack on tired hungry and weak Jews, the result could
have been fatal. So obviously there are circumstances wherein abusing blood
carries no penalty. We deduce from this account that such circumstances are when
the abuse of blood is for the purpose of saving or protecting life. Here is some more simple blood logic...
10 As for any man of the house of Israel or some alien
resident who is residing as an alien in your midst who eats any sort of blood, I
shall certainly set my face against the soul that is eating the blood, and I
shall indeed cut him off from among his people.
11 For the soul of the flesh is in
the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make
atonement for your souls,
because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul [in it].
12 That is why I have said to the
sons of Israel: No soul of you must eat blood and no alien resident who is
residing as an alien in your midst should eat blood (Leviticus 17).
So the only permissible use of blood under law was sacrificial in order to
redeem your soul. The purpose of a sacrifice being to save life. So God only
permits blood to be used sacrificially in order save life. So if someone
sacrifices his own blood in order to save another persons life, through a blood
transfusion, then that is precisely the permitted use of blood by God. In fact
the one who sacrifices his blood in order to save another's life is doing what
Jesus did with his blood, is he not? And the one who sacrifices his kidney in
order to save his brother's life is likewise doing what Jesus did with his body,
surely? For we both eat his body and drink his blood.
If we are Christians, should we not then sacrifice both our body parts and
our blood in order to save our brother's lives, like our exemplar Jesus Christ
did, in order to save all of our lives?
Or shall we stand here, saved by the sacrificial use of Jesus' body and
blood, claiming to be following in his footsteps, but forbidding the sacrificial
use of our own body or our own blood to save anyone else – doh!
So dear brothers and sisters in the patriarchs of Israel and in the
cherubs and Seraph of God, we have become like our archetypes the Pharisees whom
we deride. We have gulped down the details of the law of Moses and strained out
its lesson and its fulfilment, which is the absolute necessity of the
sacrifice of one man’s body and blood for another. For it was a tutor
leading to the sacrifice of the Christ. And we as Christians should likewise
stand ready to sacrifice ourselves or parts thereof for our brothers. Jesus
said:
A greater love than this no man has, that he lays down his soul for his
friends (John 15:13).
If you care about the lives of 6 million JWs, respond and prove us wrong
scripturally or accept our light and repent from your blood guilt and stop
inciting those who are saved by the blood of Jesus to commit suicide on the
altar of your false interpretations.

38
But in their journeying he entered into a
village, a certain one. A
woman,
but
a certain one, Martha
in name,
received him into the house
39 But to her was a sister
called Mary,
who, also, having sat down beside the feet
of the Lord
was listening to his word.
40 But Martha
was distracted about much ministry.
But having approached she said: Lord,
does-it-not-matter to you that my sister
has left me alone to be ministering? Tell her, therefore, to help me.
41 But answering the Lord said
to her: Martha,
Martha,
you are anxious and you are disturbed about many [things].
42 But of few [things] [there] is need or of one [thing]. For Mary chose the good portion [meriV],
[when the
whole is defined then its a division of land. So this is a metaphorical 'area'
to work in, not a real physical portion] which will not be taken away from
her (Luke 10, NWT/KI made more literal).
Mary (2), Martha (4), Sister
(2), Lord (2)
Now Paul has told us that
the two women, Sarah and Hagar, stand for two covenants in the prophetic drama
of Genesis 16. It is not therefore a huge leap of monumental mental agility to
realise that these two women also stand for two covenants in the prophetic drama
of Luke 10. The first stands for the sons of the water baptism covenant of the
JWs, the congregation of the JWs. The second stands for the sons of the water
baptism covenant of the LWs, the congregation of the LWs. They are both sisters
in Isaac, the father of water baptism in the Abrahamic system.
The Watchtower is very busy
with field service and simplified publications and judicial committees and all
the business of running a church. Regrettably, it is too busy doing that to
listen to the word of God.
The LWs do not care much for
field service or simplified publications or judicial committees or great
administration. We spend our whole time at the feet of Jesus. So we keep our
portion, but the Watchtower has lost their portion, becoming a false church.
For really this is about
headship. Martha is too busy and self important looking after her spiritual
kids, to sit down humbly like a little child at the feet of her Lord, Jesus, the
head of the true church. Mary is a research oriented congregation which
understands that she is not her own head, but Jesus is, and he speaks through
the true priesthood. She knows that being a wife (listening to her head) is more
important than being a mother (caring for the kids). Most women reject that
concept today. They cannot accept that the husband might be able to direct them
better than they can themselves. This drama is the spiritual equivalent between
the JWs and the LWs. Martha was effectively saying to Jesus, that her agenda for
Mary was more important than his agenda for Mary – she was being a Jezebel.

The
scriptures describe this ransom as follows:
5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
6
who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all, which is to be witnessed to at
its own particular times (1 Timothy 2).
22
For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive
(1 Corinthians 15).
The
ransom was simple, it was soul for soul as stipulated in the Law of Moses in the
case of damages:
22
And in case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant
woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have
damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman
may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices.
23
But if a fatal accident should occur, then you must give soul for soul,
24
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25
branding for branding, wound for wound, blow for blow (Exodus 21).
17
And in case a man strikes any soul of mankind fatally, he should be put to death
without fail.
18
And the fatal striker of the soul of a domestic animal should make compensation
for it, soul for soul.
19
And in case a man should cause a defect in his associate, then just as he has
done, so it should be done to him.
20
Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the same sort of defect he
may cause in the man, that is what should be caused in him.
21
And the fatal striker of a beast should make compensation for it, but the fatal
striker of a man should be put to death (Leviticus 24).
No
son of Adam can offer his soul to God as a ransom for Adam because his soul is
already given to the heavenly court, owned by God, as is Adam’s soul. This is
not because God visits the sins of Fathers on to their sons, it is because Adam
had all of his children after the death penalty was incurred. So his
children are owned by the maker of the penalty, the judge, God. It is purely a
question of timing.
However
a man who is not a son of Adam can ransom Adam, by giving up his soul. Of course
the soul must not be under any death penalty, so it must be free from sin at the
time of it’s offering. In Jesus’ case this meant that he had to obey the law
of Moses. Something that no other man was able fully to do. This was a rather
more difficult test than obeying the law of the tree in the garden. But there
again Jesus was a rather more experienced test pilot.
From
a legal standpoint, once Adam is finally resurrected as a human, all of his sons
who have not at that point been resurrected as humans can never again be humans.
And once he is resurrected as a human, this being the result of applying the
human ransom for him, none of his resurrected sons can die from his death
sentence any more. At this point God would be unrighteous if Adam's sons
continued to exist in ageing dying bodies.
Did Jesus mention the system before
this system of things, the edenic system?

Here are the humble words of the great bible technician
Charles Taze Russell:
The author’s ministry was divinely limited to the Parousia,
it should not be expected that he should have given accurate descriptions of the
Epiphany (Preface to The Time is at Hand).
That we should be prophets is undeniable since Joel said:
‘And they will certainly prophesy’ (Joel 2:28) and Peter said: ‘And they
will prophesy’ (Acts 2:18).
Yes, we should both prophesy. But you, being the church of
the Parousia, as were your brothers in the first presence, were given in advance
some details of the second presence. Whereas we, being the church of the
Epiphany, the manifestation of the presence, have been given in advance the
dates, relating to that manifestation.
This is what Russell said about the last cornerstone…
‘A wonderful modern
device, which serves well to illustrate the divine arrangement of time prophecy,
is what is termed a Combination Time-Lock, used in some of the largest banks.
Like other combination locks, the key or handle remains in the lock constantly.
Certain peculiar movements of the handle, known only to one aware of the
arrangement, are needful to open it, while the slightest deviation from the
proper movements only complicates the matter and makes it the more difficult to
open. The Combination Time-Lock adds the peculiar feature, that by a
clock arrangement inside the bank vaults, the doors when closed at night are so
locked that they cannot be opened by any one until a fixed hour the next
morning; and then, only in response to the use of the right combination upon
which the lock has been set.
Thus our Heavenly Father has closed up and sealed many features of his plan during the night with his great Time-Lock, which was so set as to prevent their being opened until "the time appointed"--in the morning of the great day of restitution. And then Jehovah's Anointed, "he that hath the key" and understands the combination upon which it has been set, "openeth, and no man shutteth." (`Rev. 3:7`) He opens unto us by giving us the necessary information as to how the key of prophecy is to be operated by those desiring to find the treasures of infinite wisdom. And we may unlock the treasures of divine wisdom now, because the morning hour has come--though it is early and not yet light to the world. But only by carefully heeding the instructions, and applying the key to the combination set by the great Designer, will its treasures open to us.
Well the time of the end began on 2008Nisan14, and the
appointed time of the end begins on 2008Sivan15, one precise year before the
last son of Adam expires. Russell was correct. One cannot know the date of the
time of the end until one is in the time of the end which actually occurs in the
7th day as he said. He just did not know when the 7th day,
the great day of restitution, began. But he prophesied that the anointed of
Jehovah, actually the angel of Philadelphia, would know this.
Now if you declare the words of Russell, your founder, to be
apostate today, then it is you who are apostate to the church that he was
anointed to build on the foundation stone of the Christ.
Russell, was humble enough to admit publicly that he made
chronological mistakes, saying…
‘Dealing with subjects so difficult that they are rarely touched by others, it is not to be considered strange if some of the suggestions made in this Volume have not been fulfilled with absolute accuracy to the letter.’
‘We could not, of course, know in 1889, whether the date 1914, so clearly marked in the Bible as the end of the Gentile lease of power or permission to rule the world, would mean that they would be fully out of power at that time, or whether, their lease expiring, their eviction would begin. The latter we perceive to be the lord’s program…’
But he believed correctly that just as the Jews knew from the 69 weeks of years of Daniel9, the month and the year of Jesus’ physical presence which began with his baptism by John, so God’s people would know the day and the hour of his future presences and his future epiphanies. He said…
‘At the first advent Simeon and Anna, and the wise men of the East, knew to expect the Messiah. In fact, the expectation was general then. (Luke2:25-38; Matthew2:2, Luke3:15) If God so dealt with the house of servants, shall he do less for the house of Sons? Our Lord and Head has said: “15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his Lord does. But I have called you friends, because all the things I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.” (John15). Jesus certainly shall know of the times and seasons in due time, since he is to accomplish the plan, and unless he has changed, he will make them known to those close to him and associated in his work – his friends, his saints.’
Well, he has indeed made them known, and we have made them
known to you.

The
Jehovah’s witnesses have this awful practice of shunning those who have been
disfellowshipped. They refuse to acknowledge their existence. This causes all
sorts of problems in marriages and families when one party or one member is
disfellowshipped. It is therefore an attack on love and on the family every bit
a pernicious as homosexuality. It is based on a misinterpretation of the 2nd
letter of John (they are told):
7
For many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus
Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8
Look out for yourselves, that you do not lose the things we have worked to
produce, but that you may obtain a full reward.
9
Everyone that pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of the Christ
does not have God. He that does remain in this teaching is the one that has both
the Father and the Son.
10
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into
your homes or say a [brotherly] greeting to him.
11
For he that says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works
(2John).
This
scripture only applies to antichrists within the congregation - see U81.
It does not apply to everyone who has been disfellowshipped. The scripture means
that one should not receive such a man as a Christian teacher or as a Christian
brother and no more than that. We should not say a Christian greeting to him. We
know how to treat disfellowshipped or excommunicated people:
17
If he does not listen to the
congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax
collector (Matthew 18).
Only
a fool would refuse to say a greeting to a tax collector! Jews did not shun tax
collectors or Gentiles. They dealt with them, especially their Roman governors!
They did not worship with them however. Jesus ate with tax collectors and spoke
to and listened to the Syrophoenician woman even healing her daughter. So
likewise a disfellowshipped man should not be allowed to eat with the
congregation, he should be banned from congregation meetings. And that is it! No
shunning.
1
Actually fornication is reported among you, and such fornication as is
not even among the nations, that a wife a certain [man] has of [his] father (1
Corinthians 5)…

In my letter I wrote you to quit mixing in company with fornicators,
10
not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons
and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, you would actually have to get out of
the world.
11
But now I am writing you to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother
that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a
drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man (1 Corinthians 5).
The
Watchtower also uses the scripture above to justify shunning people who have
been disfellowshipped. But it plainly applies to people within the congregation
who should have been disfellowshipped, not people outside the church. The advice
from Paul is to avoid mixing with people who are known to you to have committed
a disfellowshipping offence but for some reason have gotten away with it. But
you should not shun them, just avoid mixing with them.
Respect
is the most basic form of love. And saying a greeting is the most basic form of
respect. Refusing to say a greeting is disrespectful and not loving, but Jesus
has taught us to love even our enemies. He shunned absolutely no one and there
is no account in the gospels of his refusing to eat a meal with anyone. He ate
with tax collectors he went around with prostitutes, he spoke to the devil
himself when he was tempted, he did not shun Satan. He loved them all. This
would mean showing them basic respect at the least. So we should say greetings
to them and eat hamburgers with them.
27
But I say to you who are listening: Continue to love your enemies, to do good to
those hating you (Luke 6).
Have
you have forgotten Jesus words to his disciples in his sermon on the mount?
44
However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those
persecuting you;
45
that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since
he makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon
righteous people and unrighteous.
46
For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not also the tax
collectors doing the same thing?
47
And if you greet your brothers only, what extraordinary thing are you doing?
Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing?
48
You must accordingly be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5).
May the lamb of God open your eyes,

The LWs are beseiging the JWs for the 7 days from 2008Iyyar1 to 2008Iyyar7 inclusive. Iyyar7 is the Jubilee in the sabbath system of the LWs. On this day we expect that the wall of Jericho, the prohibition on JWs to study any religious material from the LWs or anyone else other that the Watchtower, to fall down flat. This means that it fails and is seen as a law of men from the earth not a law of God, from the heavens. It will fall as a result of the LWs finally getting the date of the first answer by fire from the heavens of 1Kings18 correct. For every number in that chapter is a multiple of 50, so the whole thing is saying: Jubilee! Jubilee!
The first fire from the heavens comes on 2008Iyyar7 at the 10th hour of the day, this being the 10th hour of the 7th day of the 50th month in our present LW timetable, rather than the 10th day of the 7th month of the 50th year as was the case in the days of Moses. The LW sabbath system is a greater meaning of Leviticus25, for the law has a shadow of the good things to come (Hebrews 10:1).
That is 2008April14 around 4:45-5:45pm local time. We understand from Daniel2 that this is a radiological terrorist attack on the UK and the US, the two feet of the image of Daniel 2 - see U167. After this attack, the 10 kings of Revelation 19, who give thier kingdom to the UN will finally appear, these being the 10 toes of the image.
The LW administration in fulfilment of Joshua6 for the last time is sending one message per day to around 100 Bethels of the JWs. Here are the messages (with minor corrections).

Jericho1
As you know we have for 2 years been trying
to get the date of the first fire from the heavens of 1King18 in its last
fulfilment. In a wonderful example of what can be achieved by co-operation
between the JWs and the LWs in furthering bible understanding, one particular JW
who we cannot name in case you visit upon him a cruel and inhuman penalty for
his faith, and love of bible research, recommended that we consider the Jubilee
as the reason why every number in 1Kings18 is denominated in 50s, when we had
been looking more at Pentecost.
We realised that we had not fully understood
how to apply the Jubilee release to the Sabbath timetable of our church. We had
failed to fully interpret Leviticus 25. Without going into detail just as the
Jubilee release occurred on the 10th day of the 7th month
of the 50th year under the Law of Moses, so it occurs at the 10th
hour of the 7th day of the 50th month under the law of the
LWs. Well that would be 2008Iyyar7 at the 10th hour of the day. This
is what 1Kings18 is screaming at us by all of the 50s and multiples of 50s in
the account, as our friend in the JWs said. This is the holy spirit showing us
how to co-operate you know.
Now that day is a release from slavery and a
return to family and possession and an atonement between God and the JWs and
between the LWs and the JWs who will thereafter be able to research and
evangelise and serve God together rather than continuing to give the demons a
victory with our ungodly division. Every day we are separated mankind’s
understanding of God’s word suffers.
Now the blast of the horn of the ram (which
means Jubilee – thanks for that one), is the end of the 7 day campaign of
Jericho by the LWs on the walled up JWs. So we start that campaign today thanks
to your help with our understandings.
This campaign is your liberation so please
embrace it and enjoy it for it is God’s will that we unite.
Blessings

Jericho2
Dear sons of the holy covenants,
May the love of the Christ and the guidance of the holy spirit deliver us all.
Since this is day 2 of our Jericho campaign let us explain how Joshua6 applies symbolically today.
God does not need half a million people to march around in circles 13 times in
