Welcome back Watchman! I recently experienced the difficulty of moving 20 miles. Can't even imagine the hardships involved in moving internationally! But I enjoyed the latest podcast. I missed them. Glad your back online. I am now eagerly looking forward to reading your Revelations Climax blogs covering chapters 4 and 5. I like to slyly incorporate and sneak some of your thoughts (which usually agree with my thoughts) into some of my comments at the book study, just to raise a few eyebrows. Nothing to controversial, but just enough to perhaps get others thinking.

Great podcast Watchman, and the way you show those scriptures from Jeremiah and Ezekiel apply to the modern day Jehovahs Witnesses actually give more faith in the Watchtower Society despite the many faults we see at present.

Which leads me to ask, we seem to get the immpression from you that the society is due a judgement but now is not yet the time to get out of it. But if Jehovah will still use the society after cleansing it, should we who have left, actually be trying to get back in?

Also, when you quoted from Ezekial about the tabernacle of God being with his people, this sounded very much like the Revelation scripture where the tent of God is with mankind which we allways understood was after Armeggedon rather than before?

By the way, like the intro music, did you get Prince to do that?

Thanks. By the way, I didn't do any commentary on the 4th chapter of the Grand Climax book because it was pretty basic. But I just made a blog entry for chapter 5. click here (http://grandclimax.blogspot.com/)

I do not encourage or advise anyone to leave the organization. Of course, many already have for various reasons. But I don't really see any advantage in that. However, according to prophecy the time will come when the holy place is desolated. Then Christians will be forced to abandon the congregation. As you know, I believe that the Watchtower Society has served Jehovah's purpose and constitutes a corrupted holy place that will be desolated during the tribulation. Until then I think the best course is to stick with the program.

So you envisage afterwards a new arrangement for worship or new form of Jehovahs Witnesses that existing and past members will be free to join?

Ie, is there any advantage for those of us who had allready left to rejoin in time to be amongst the judged?
