This is a video I put together about what I see as the future for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Anointing

Newbee, you are in the wrong place to be spouting this nonsense. Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult, not the “true” religion. They are false prophets. This forum is for former JWs who are seeking validation for doubting this religion. Many of us have been mistreated by this organization. So go away.

"They are the only Christian group on Earth that doesn't claim to be anointed by holy spirit" (4:40). This is true of the other sheep but not the partakers.

You are correct when you call them false prophets.JW’s said: 1914… 1918…. 1925…. 1975. …. And other dates aswell.
Zechariah 13:4,5 says
On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive. Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.
Zechariah 12:10 says
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
I think you are right to doubt the religion of the JW’s. They will also have to answer to God for any wrong they have done. I’m sorry that many people had and still have to suffer under that organisation. I’d advise people to follow Jesus Christ.I don’t know what the future for the Watchtower organisation is…. But I do know that JW’s will have to be born again to see the kingdom of God. And the way I see it happening is the way I outlined in my video. In some way they will have to be anointed by Holy spirit, whether that means coming out of the organisation to Christ, or the organisation being anointed in some way I’m not sure.
At some point there may be two witnesses doing a preaching work..(Revelation 11). If people can recognise them when they appear they won’t be led astray. But there are different understandings on the two witnesses prophecy as well.
@ a watcher… I was trying to keep the video simple, but it actually made the video inaccurate. You are right.……….

^ I still agree with what I said in my video about the JW’s being clean living people, having love among themselves and preaching the good news. I just don’t believe in their false prophecies and doctrinal errors. And I don’t agree with the way people were mistreated at times.

Well, the video is very well done. I'll tell you what I think.
I think you're right about linking the latter rain to the Holy Spirit.
I came to the same conclusion.
Moreover, Revelation speaks of two witnesses, and they evidently represent the group that receives the Holy Spirit.
The outpouring of the first century is clearly a prophetic type that will be repeated, as Joel makes clear.
But there are some points to consider.
You argue that all Jehovah's Witnesses will receive it, and I think that is not correct.
All Jews were invited to the banquet, but only those who demonstrated faith and accepted the Messiah received it.
That is why only "a remnant was saved."
The majority of the brothers "have a zeal for God" but do not want to stop worshipping the governing body.
This became completely evident during the pandemic.
Those who allow themselves to be deceived by the "man of lawlessness" will not receive the Spirit. This is evident since they do not want to open their eyes, and the Scriptures say so.
I believe that only those whom God designates to be part of the "two witnesses" will receive the Spirit, along with a message to preach. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

"Clean living":.......Clean meaning removed all those that have doubts or question the WTBS.
"Love among themselves"................Conditional love
"Preaching the good news"..............As it changes from one decade to another

Really? You can believe what you want. We have lived it. I was kicked out at 14 on the street for talking to school friends in my neighborhood. I had concerns about the 1975 false prophecy and wouldn't shut up about it. I was repeatedly told I was mentally ill, unchangeable, a hater of God etc. etc. etc. I ended up in prison for 10 months while still a teenager for marijuana. I had previously tried to join the military, but didn't qualify because I didn't finish high school. The 8th grade was the last grade I completed.
I am writing this post on my 75 acre gentlemans ranch which is only 45 mins from where my dad now lives... alone. He lives in a small apartment, in a small town with no yard, no pets allowed. His hellish isolation has already begun. Only my older brothers are witnesses. All his grandsons are now Christians because of my influence and the blessing of the Lord.
Every JW kid who questions their family religion gets psychologically bludgeoned with hours of slanderous lectures until they simply can't take it anymore. Looking for relief, they turn to drugs, sex, and alternative lifestyles looking for some relief from the mental terrorism.
This young lady was mentally abused, drugged and abandoned by her elder JW father while a teenager. While estranged from her family, she was raped while a knife was held to her throat. But hey, that's what she gets for leaving Jehovah, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J_dzLrj_ms&t=104s&ab_channel=BibleReady
Reeling from that, she married someone who took advantage of her weak and vulnerable position. He cheated on her from almost the start and fathered 3 of her children. The Lord later gave her a wonderful husband and another son and so she now helps many other young ladies deal with the trauma of Watchtower terrorism.I hired a new office manager a few weeks ago and it turns out she was raised JW and had to join the military at age 18 to escape her deranged family who were radicalized by WT fear mongering and propaganda.
She is a 40 something grandma now and never dealt with the trauma. She tries to hide the pain but slips into tears while remembering. She showed me a scar on her lip where her father hurled a shoe at her when she told him she was being shipped out in a few weeks for active duty. Her father told her that he brought her into this world and he can take her out. My father often told me the exact word for word thing, as if they were being controlled by the same malevolent entity.
Her dad went down to the recruiting office to try and control the United States military. That was a moment of clarity for him I'm sure. He was told she was an adult and could choose what she wanted to do. He found out he couldn't bully military officers the way he could his defenseless teenage daughter.
You believe JW's preach the good news? Wrong. The primary message of the Christian church is reconciliation with God.God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the ministry of reconciliation.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. - 2 Cor. 5
Jw's do not preach the ministry of reconciliation. They preach the kingdom message in Mt. 24: 14 that Jesus told his Jewish brothers they would one day preach (the real 144K male Jewish virgins during the GT)
In fact, the WT actively preaches AGAINST the ministry of reconciliation and has shut up the kingdom of heaven because they teach that believers can no longer be Justified (declared righteous)... since 1935, making it impossible to be reconciled to God.
Please join a decent bible-believing chuch and get some education. There is almost nothing salvageable from Watchtower, the world's premier Satanic organization. -

Wonderful, Sea Breeze! Please have your office manager get on here, and tell her story!
