Although Jehovah through His Son gave you rulers the ways of how to "give rest to the weary ones" in their spirit, you refused to hear. Instead, you administered bullying tactics and taught hard-heartedness.

"Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you braggarts, you rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem": Your teaching of a resurrection after death to life again on earth is a lie. Heavenly life is for all (saved) resurrected ones. But these stubborn rulers, who claim to be (('a visible instrument or agency on earth')), are your 'elders', who have made this lie their refuge. But they will learn the truth in torments after death for the reasons given to us by our Lord: "Then those who have misused My law will be taken by surprise; their contempt for it will bring them continual torment. All who in their lifetime failed to acknowledge Me in spite of all the good things I had given them, all who disdained My law while freedom still was theirs, who scornfully dismissed the thought of penitence while the way was still open --all these will have to learn the truth through torments after death." (From 2 Esdras 9:7-13).

The following remarks confirm what I have already said about their false source of claiming to be a visible instrument or agency on earth: (('That agency is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, which, though it makes no claim of infallibility, nevertheless excommunicates anyone who comes to conclusions independent of its own.')) (Pg.61). Although the conclusions of this 'agency' have been wrong in all their predictions concerning God's prophecies, and in their interpretation of many of His teachings, still they exercise the prerogative of excommunicating others? Even excommunicating an anointed one who began correcting them and continued to do so for many years?

Before I had acquired knowledge of the personal 'disposition' of these people, I did bring interested ones to their meetings. But these ones all said the same thing, that they felt unwanted. They were completely ignored, as were my wife and our young children, and for no reason. And yet those who manifest such coldness are all confident they will inherit the Kingdom of heaven!

It is true what the author says of them: (('their homes reek with the stale smell of religiosity--religion by rote, dogma uninformed by the energy of spiritual passion.')) (Pg.61). Their meeting places, I would add, reflect the same.

Without love, words become meaningless. Read what this woman's heartfelt feelings were when she was at Bethel: (('waiting for the Bible discussion that precedes our breakfast to begin...I say that I spent my days among people who hated me...(Words all lost their meanings: good, bad, crazy, love -- they meant different things in different mouths; and one was never sure whom to trust.) Lara, the pretty girl who sat next to me at table, hated me. (The eight men who sat at the same table more or less ignored me, but I felt no ill will emanating from them; the worst they could do was make me feel lonely, and I was lonely already.')) (Pg.206).

This is proof that they do not have Holy Spirit among them. Adjusting an old maxim to describe their unGodly inhumanity, the following aptly applies: Their 'barrel', so full of the stench from their hateful "fruit", that many smaller containers into which they place their rotten "fruit" became a source of stinking odour. (('Yet in the heart of every Witness is the felt knowledge that should he leave his spiritual home, he will die a social death at the hands of his brothers now, a spiritual death at the hands of his God later.')) (Pg.139). What RUBBISH! We left them, and are very much alive, and have set in place 'landmarks' for weary ones to return to Jehovah. Leave those who have "gone astray in their seeing". (Isaiah 28:7). Get out of this religious "Babylon"! -- AND COME!
