tfs asks:
Would you say Jehovah has "singled" you out. I mean, do you think Jehovah is communicating with you ALONE, revealing this "hidden" information, or do you imagine he is miraculously revealing it to all of the faithful "remnant" of anointed who exist OUTSIDE Brooklyn Bethel?
No, in times past Jehovah usually used small groupings of individuals who served the nation as prophets. For example Isaiah and Micah were contemporaries. Later, in the period immediately before Jerusalem's destruction by the Babylonians, there was Jeremiah, Nahum, Habakkuk. In Babylon itself there was Daniel and Ezekiel. In all cases though those prophets were not really recognized or honored as such. Amos for example was just a orchard worker that Jehovah chose. Look at Joseph. He was the youngest, next to Benjamin, and he related a dream to his brothers that they would bow down to him. As a consequence they heartlessly sold him into slavery, but years later they did come and bow before him in Egypt. Even in the Christian era there were obscure individuals that Jehovah chose to deliver certain messages. Agabus is one who comes to mind. On a couple of occasions he presented information regarding the future that would impact Christians. In one instance he foretold that Paul would be arrested in Jerusalem and Pauls friends begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. The very fact that Christians were counseled not to "treat prophesying with contempt" is some indication that even otherwise loyal Christians can fall into that trap of assuming that they got it all figured out and that there's nothing they need to know. But, the thing is: Jehovah will always have the last word and those who are REALLY Jehovah's Witnesses wouldn't want it any other way.
Also, if God is revealing special "information" to you (and perhaps others of an "elite" grouping), does this signal or hint in your mind his thorough disapproval of the GB "anointed" and leaders at Headquarters Staff in NY?Jehovah retains the means to humble everyone of his sons no matter how elevated they may be in the eyes of others. As an example, after Jesus' resurrection he first revealed himself to Mary and Martha and told them to go tell his brothers. That was a huge rebuke of his brothers, who, as you know, abandoned Jesus in his critical hour. As a matter of fact, the apostles didn't even believe the testimony of those faithful women. So Jesus humbled his own apostles. It is noteworthy that Jesus said that "some of those first would be last and those last would be first." Exactly how that judicial decision plays out remains to be seen, but it seems apparent that since Jesus initiated his congregation by humiliating and rebuking his 12 apostles that a similar judgment will take place when Jesus comes to finally inspect the spiritual organization that he commenced nearly 2,000 years ago. I will just leave it at that. / You Know
