  Prov. 26:12

  Have you seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for the stupid one than for him.

  I have been involved with the witnesses now for a long time.

  However not long into my first study I began to feel uneasy with some interpretations of scriptures.

  After some time I discovered that they were very wrong about some fundamental truths.

  Now after years of trying to inform them of there errors I am about to seriously give up.

  I have added something simple here to give you an example. If you know the truth you will have no problem answering the following.

  As you can see from Josephs second prophetic dream it includes Josephs mother Rachel. However at Gen 35:17-18. it proves that she had died well before Josephs brothers had even sent him off to Egypt.

  1 possibly a slight overview by the author of the dream

  2 possibly a miss interpretation on the part of Jacob and his sons.

  3 possibly the Watchtower has over looked something.

  Gen 37:5 Later on Joseph had a dream and told it to his brothers, and they found further reason to hate him. 6 And he went on to say to them: “Listen, please, to this dream that I have dreamed. 7 Well, here we were binding sheaves in the middle of the field when here my sheaf got up and also stood erect and here YOUR sheaves proceeded to encircle and bow down to my sheaf.” 8 And his brothers began to say to him: “Are you going to be king over us for certain? or, Are you going to dominate over us for certain?” So they found fresh reason to hate him over his dreams and over his words.

  9 After that he had still another dream, and he related it to his brothers and said: “Here I have had a dream once more, and here the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 Then he related it to his father as well as his brothers, and his father began to rebuke him and say to him: “What does this dream that you have dreamed mean? Am I and also your mother and your brothers for certain going to come and bow down to the earth to you?” 11 And his brothers grew jealous of him, but his father observed the saying.

  Gen.35:17 17 But so it was that while she had difficulty in making the delivery the midwife said to her: “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.” 18 And the result was that as her soul was going out (because she died) she called his name Ben-o´ni; but his father called him Benjamin.

  Here are a few straightforward simple messages written in plain English.

  Psalm 110

  The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is:

  “Sit at my right hand

  ((((Until)))) I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”

  2 The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, [saying:]

  “Go subduing ((((in the midst of your enemies.”))))

  Acts 3:20 and that he may (((send forth))) the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus, 21 whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself ((((until the times of restoration of all thing))))

  Luk 18:8, when the (((Son of man))) arrives, will he really find the faith on the earth?”

  3. possibly the Watchtower has over looked something.

  Of the three, I would say this is the most likely explanation.

  Here is some more plain English

  John 16:13

  for he will not speak of his own impulse,

  The Holy Spirit cannot do anything other than God’s Will. It does not have it’s own impulse because it is Jehovah’s impulse.

  but what things he hears he will speak,

  The Holy Spirit does not need to be told what Jehovah’s Will is as it is his Will.

  and he will declare to YOU the things coming.

  Jesus was speaking to his disciples who were the anointed but this individual will declare to them (the anointed) the things coming. This makes it clear that Jesus was not referring to the anointed but another individual in the above lines.

  Who is the ‘he’ that would declare to the Disciples (the anointed) the things coming?

  If this is the Holy Spirit, the previous two lines prove it not to be the Holy Spirit.
