I am so thankful for finding your site 3 weeks ago. And today, myself and my two teenage daughters were baptized in a pool near our home by a complete stranger. I know it’s not the conventional way of doing things but we all felt so right in doing it. I’ve been a pretty loyal servant of Jehovah but the constant overlording manner and the lack of real food didn’t make me weak, it has made me hungry for truth. And your way may not be perfect and that’s fine, but at least you feed my spirit. And another point you make is turning ones attention to the Lord where it belongs. So for this and many other reasons, we can’t thank you enough. We look forward to receiving the book you published. God be with you sincere Sons of God.

Dear Bro & Sis, great articles. The [Kingdom Update - June 2013] is so encouraging. Keep up the good deeds as we join to honor the Father. And the two articles on [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II] are absolutely brilliant!!

June 28, 2013

[From an Elder] Dear friends, I had to chime in to tell you the brothers in Portland are having a good ole time in declaring the joys and freedoms of the true faith-children of God. If anyone doubts the power of the spirit of truth, I suggest you rethink your dedication. In speaking with this young couple in Portland, it made me think of the years to come and what could be possible if more young ones get involved in the true Kingdom Ministry. They as a couple in their 20's are convinced that what you have on the AJW site is the plain and open truth of Jesus. They read the articles with a fine tooth comb scripture by scripture with no other publication but the Bible and it bore witness as to the realness as they call it. Now they no longer allow men to determine what they believe because they are FREE. Oh how we love your spirit you sister and our fire starter brother. May the Father of everything bless us all.

June 28, 2013

Hi, I just wanted quickly to thank the patient for his kind words and his zest for life, my daughter was so encouraged. I read 1 of the [Heavenly Contemplations] and I will read more. Thank you again. God bless.

June 28, 2013

I’m a big fan of the site and have recommended your site to all my friends. The [Kingdom Update - June 2013] was encouraging to read along with the two articles on [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II]. Please keep them coming. What I’m doing now is kinda going back in time because I know just by the titles, I believe they will come in handy so God bless you.

June 26, 2013

Good Afternoon AnointedJW, It was suggested 3 weeks ago to take a look at the site before I commit to being a [Jehovah’s Witness] and I’m glad I did because my desire and hope is to go to heaven. And with all of the evidence you have in all these article, I mean wow. So thanks to the patient and keep up the good work.

June 25, 2013

[From an Elder] Hey Dear Friends, we have enjoyed an increase of sons and daughters who have totally embraced sonship. They read over and over the entire Brotherhood section, but here’s how they got to that point. I suggested they read the Bible starting with the Christian scriptures and they did because they noticed the depth of comments given by those who partake. And this one brother came to me and said “I’ve got to have some of this spirit you brothers have.”  I said it is available for all but you must start your thinking from scratch and it starts with the plain and open teachings of the Christ and trust his words. So we have 7 more in the Kingdom.  My wife and I held a dinner at our home and them presented the emblems and, as they say, the rest is history!! The Father is so good, so very good, and you friends have been such a positive force and we all thank you.

June 25, 2013

Hello family, we just would like to thank you for all the articles and the blessed [KMW book]. The emergency help from [your brother] really was great and in the nick of time, so thank you. And to our sister who whips up the articles, you really opened up the minds of us all with the [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II]. We believe that the open and plain way is the best way. God Speed with your health and May God bless you dear sister.

June 24, 2013

Well hello my Christian brothers, I’m a tech in the Imaging Dept. and I promised while the patient was getting tested I’d check out the site and I’m so happy I did. I read the article on the Promised Resurrection and it was great and touching. It will help me think about the glory instead of the lost when we lose a loved one. This is a treat, God bless you folks.

June 24, 2013

Hi brothers and sister, I could not be happier than I have been the last 5 months. I happened to be writing the Society when I chanced upon your site and it was like coming home. And it turned out to be love at first sight. I’m so touched by the two articles on [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II] brought me to tears because it was such a real bearing witness moment for me as the real Kingdom, you know the one Jesus spoke about, where gender doesn’t exist. Please continue driving home the point of the sonship.

June 24, 2013

[From a former Elder]  Hello Dear Friends, I along with my wife serve as Elder and Pioneer and have been for 16 and 14 years respectly. We thank you brothers and sisters for you encouraging as well as insightful articles and experiences. The value of your wisdom is having a profound effect on many in the Chicago area, at least that’s what we believe because the discussion of sonship with Jehovah has been the focus of many Elder and [Circuit Overseer] meetings. As for me, I stepped down 2 weeks ago and my wife over a month ago. We couldn’t go on preaching a falsehood of the dead hope, the partial truth and the shutting up of the Kingdom. We both still have a great deal of affection for our brothers. So maybe we can be a light to guide the blind and light the way for our dear friends. We send love and prayers for your continued success. We proudly by faith enter the Kingdom and that to us is the plain and open teaching of Jesus.

June 23, 2013

Hello family, I’m glad Mr. Man will be finishing his treatment soon.  I’m having better success with the staff with the "Truth Series” and with the [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II]. Most in the Association have the fear factor of admitting it, but most agree that women have much more of a say in talks than credit is given them. But it’s a start just getting a conversation going. It’s powerful energy when you trust the spirit and have a peace about you. We have greatly been blessed because of your efforts. Thanks family.

June 23, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] “PREACH, PREACH, PREACH!” That used to be the saying. But now we “preach, TEACH, TEACH!” We had the greatest time today in the ministry. We talked to both young and old, believers and non-believers. Oh dear friends, we just talked about the good nature of our heavenly Father and how he has a Kingdom just waiting for honest lovers of goodness, and fairness and most of all lovers of one another. So me and my wife and [two other elders and their wives] and two other couples went to open businesses and introduced ourselves in casual clothing and said “Sir, you look like a man of faith and so are we, and we just wanted to meet our brother.” And we met with nothing but success. Oh dear friends, it was wonderful, please you have to try it. Well we have got to eat now, but thank you brother and our dear sister for the encouragement. And from all of us to you, may the Heavenly Father of All continue with you!!

June 23, 2013

Hello friends of AnointedJW, what a great site of spiritual food. I’m a sister who has had issues with some of the withdrawal of some brothers & sisters who feel they are sons and not friends of God. Your site has provided many answers to sonship and the meaning of Jesus teachings and later mentioned by the apostle Paul in Romans, Chapter 8. I thank you for your positive outlook.

June 23, 2013

[From Nigeria] I appreciate your work.

June 22, 2013

Hello in Christian love friends. It’s with much pleasure that 15 new members of God's Kingdom were added yesterday. 8 [Jehovah’s Witnesses] and 7 members of 2 other churches got baptized into Christ at Ceasar’s Palace [in Las Vegas, Nevada]. Then we had dinner and partook. It was a full day and night. It’s been a great learning curve for all whether Witness or non-Witness to strip off the old way of thinking. But since we all have become close, we check each other when that old wine pops up. So thank you for presenting the articles and the alternative way of looking at scriptures. God bless and we all look forward to multiplying the kingdom interest.

June 21, 2013

[From a former Elder] I conducted my last [Watchtower] study this past Sunday and I feel 20 years young already. I told the brothers and our [Circuit Overseer] that as much as I love the friends and all the participation on programs and the like, I love my heavenly Father that much more. There are so many things I disagree with that I choose at this time not to go into and that was it. For me I think I'd rather have the friends come to me and ask individually why I stepped down. That way I can consider each according to my understanding of them. I hope all come to realize the living hope. Thank you friends for all the encouraging articles.

June 21, 2013

I love your site. I started reading it along with some nurses and techs at work and I had the pleasure of meeting someone representing the site. He was very humble and nice.  I asked where his church was he said ‘the Kingdom of the heavens.’ Now he was laughing but I think he may be right. The 2 articles on women having spiritual equality [Spiritual Equality for Women and Spiritual Equality for Women - Part II] I’m taking straight to my pastor because what I understand from the issues is this, that when spirit was poured out that was the world-wide end to it’s a man's world, and women and children have equal say in the Kingdom of God, wonderful expression very tastefully done. God bless you all.

June 20, 2013

[From a Circuit Overseer]  Peace be with the courageous spirit you show. Hello dear friends, I would like to voice in no uncertain terms how logical the [Spiritual Equality for Women and Spiritual Equality for Women - Part II] are. They drew me right in. I’ve been ahead of the curve for years on this point. I believe without question women are finer teachers and the way you make the argument, even the Apostle Paul would have to rethink his Jewish way of thinking. Really outstandingly well written. You two are something to be reckoned with. May the undeserved kindness of our Lord continue with you.

June 20, 2013

[From a Pastor of the Asian I AM Church] You do work good in Kingdom. I, too, Son of God. Articles good to think for future in bringing every nation together. The Great I AM is with your work.

June 20, 2013

Fantastic web-site, I’m floored. Oh have I got a lot to learn.  I read the "Remembrance" and could feel the spirit of the lord in it. I want to thank Mr. Patient for throw'n down the word to me and another RN. I’m going to on my lunch break read the Truth series. I’ve got to be honest, I was afraid to speak to him because of the chatter there's the man of god here, but when speaking with him, the man is just a man who loves him some God and really humble. It’s rare that humility is real, so I’m a fan of the word of Jesus for sure. God bless.

June 19, 2013

[From a former Elder] Hi my dear bothers, you might want to add me to the list of former elders. That's right, I stepped down so I can step up to the ministry of the Heavenly Kingdom. Now my experience may be a little different than most because me and my wife for the first time just one hour ago became partakers because we both woke up to the plain and open teaching almost at the same time and it scared us at first, then we just laughed for hours it seemed. We had a nice candle light dinner and then we each said a prayer over the wine and bread. And now it feels like we have started living. You see, the [Watchtowers] and the field service ministry started to make my wife, who had been pioneering for years, keep getting sick out in service. She just couldn’t preach the message anymore.  But we ain’t gonna hide our light. We’re teachers and preachers by nature, so we will prevail with God's help. So thanks for sounding the alarm. Oh my wife says hello y'all. [From Texas]

June 19, 2013

I enjoy so much your way of presenting information, it has such a logical and common sense approach. I’ve been one of your closet partakers for 3 years just because of the stigma of being younger than the photos shown in the [Watchtower] magazines. But what I can say is that now I don’t even want to, at least not there. It feels authentic at home with family (mom and brother) and some workmates. My brother is a [Ministerial Servant] who doesn’t yet partake but I’m working on him. lol He's more of a reader in the Brotherhood Section. He calls it the real deal section. I thank Jehovah our heavenly Father for your upbuilding articles and for the courage to as you continue to say "let your light shine."

June 18, 2013

Hello fellow Sons of the Kingdom, I enjoy so deeply your web-site, it’s the best religious info I’ve seen, here is why. The way you explain, but not preach or compel a person that you have to do this or come to my church type of articles, really has drawn in my entire family and I will be ordering the KMW book. The latest Gem on Women is a masterpiece of epic proportions because we need to be set free and own our faith and be looked upon as assets in Kingdom Halls or Churches and the like. It’s the righteous way so I’ve got to give you much thanks in behalf of myself, my husband, and our two children. And to the walking miracle, what he has endured, he is always concerned about others, so I wish him well. And God bless your spirit my sister for your outstanding writings.

June 16, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Good Evening Dear Brothers, a bold approach to a sensitive issue [The Spiritual Equality of Women]. One that I believe has 21st century merit, worth an honest discussion, not to be brushed off just because it’s not being done at present. Jesus was a real trend and tradition breaker, doing so with the Father's approval, so maybe, just maybe we should learn to "Expand our Spiritual Vision" (pun intended). So bravo my new best friends, bravo!

June 16, 2013

Hey guys, strong to say the least! [The Spiritual Equality of Women] It’s the backroom conversation that takes place privately in almost all Christian homes and even in a hush-hush way after meetings. I think it’s one of those articles that many will have to slowly come to terms with because Jewish history hasn’t been on the side of a woman's God given rights in a spiritual setting to really teach, at least not in the [Jehovah’s Witnesses] association. But as for me and my household, we like the forward thinking.

June 16, 2013

Brothers, thank you for the new article about female spiritual equality [The Spiritual Equality of Women]. I plan on studying this for worship night with my wife very soon. I thank our Father and his Son for all the tender mercies they give us.

June 16, 2013

[From a former Elder] Hello from us to you friends. I’m over at the house where a few friends and sons of the Kingdom are enjoying some lunch and what do you know, an article that touches on the very point of discussion comes [The Spiritual Equality of Women]. You see [another Elder] said in referring to his wife, "the backbone of any religion is the sisters in the congregation" and we agree.  The feature point that I get from the latest article is that we linger in the days of old too much, and when we get together, we speak freely and I along with the other elders gather jewels of knowledge. This is one of the best written articles of wisdom from above I’ve ever read that reaches into a right now mind and way of thinking. Truly brilliant, especially if you don’t live with fear. I thank, no we thank God for your efforts and may he strengthen you and us to proclaim the true liberty of the Kingdom!!

June 13, 2013

Hello. My, my, my. You two just kick behind and ain’t taken names. The Truth series is soooo good, easy to understand, but so well written. We’re having a reading of it and we had to stop and say thank you for introducing us to this brand of Christian thinking. Keep plugging away dear friends. God be with you in health and ministry.

June 13, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Hello friends, I’m having such a wonderful second life, at least that’s what it feels like. I looked at many of the articles that I hadn’t the chance to read. They are so filled with pearls upon pearls of spiritual goodies. Let me give you an example. You say in many articles or in [Questions and Responses] the phrase “values and meanings” and that’s important to me. For this reason, I’m doing an inventory of my beliefs and, as you say according to the Bible, in striping off the old personality with its obsolete doctrines and focus on Jesus’ actual teachings. So it’s things like that, simple but powerful. You’re doing good work dear brothers, please continue with blessings from our Heavenly Father Jehovah.

June 13, 2013

Good Morning, what a great website, where have you been all my life.  The articles on Truth and the Jesus in our Midst blew my mind. It’s like a cut above many of the sites that talk about religion. I think of myself as more of a spiritual person but I’ve got so much to learn and I just love your letters to the Governing Body. Years ago, I studied with [Jehovah’s Witnesses] but after about a year, I was turned completely off because of the blood issue, and just their so-called no part of society stuff just didn’t sit well with me. I’ve got no ill will, just not for me. I’m gonna order the book and would just like to say please don’t get like the others bashing stuff that’s out there. God bless!!

June 12, 2013

[From an attending nurse] Congratulations on having a positive website and let me say with everything in me, there is a spirit in your articles that reigns true with this patient I’ve had the absolute pleasure in attending a few times that spoke of this "Truth" series and it’s made my son, who is 17, say it’s made himself and two of his friends say "wow now this is church." So I just would like to go on record as saying from the bottom of my heart, thank you AnointedJW. And to the patient which I'll leave as nameless, please keep on opening doors for us.

June 12, 2013

[From a doctor] Good Day to all, I’ve so enjoyed the conversation with [your brother].  I most sincerely feel humbled in the area of fellow feeling that we should have for one another. His way with patients is quite remarkable. He has a way about him that I haven’t figured out yet, but he's interesting for sure. The article on the Spiritual Vision I really found to be motivating. Very well stated, I look forward to reading more. God is blessing!

June 11, 2013

[From an Elder] Hello brothers and sisters, it’s funny, instead of this news going to the Society, I’m reporting it to you where it means something. We have 5 new sons of the Kingdom, we held a communion dinner at the brother’s home where we ate, prayed, and talked. Then we had a beautiful remembrance offering of thanks with the bread and wine, absolutely wonderful. Friends, this is the way to go about a completely spiritual Memorial celebration. And what it also did was to fire up the five to go get so more sons and daughters. So until next time, you friends keep the faith.

June 10, 2013

Hello, I read all the time and I’m an old soul I guess in never writing you guys, but [my mom] at least keeps you informed of what’s being done by some Witnesses and some from other churches grabbing hold of the Kingdom message. I’m here to drive with my mom back to Texas for a while to visit, but trying to convince her to stay. I want to go on record stating I am a heavenly Kingdom future resident!! Thank you for pointing us in the right direction and we keep you both in our prayers.  Let me give you a shout out, your writing is absolutely wonderful, we pray you keep them coming.

June 8, 2013

[From an Elder] Hey family, beautiful article [Being Free]. You have given us food for a month with this one, me and [two others] are eating this information. "Being free" has never meant so much as it does now, the point you make about the responsibility that a real Christian has even though free is simple but powerful. I'll be borrowing portions of this one for years to come. Great work dear friends, truly great work. We feel this is Jehovah's modern day angelic power at work in you friends. Your insight and comprehension is beyond the average score of man’s understanding, so personally I’m a believer in prophetic words. That may seem strange to say, but many of our friends think along those lines. Whatever is going on, keep it going.  We love you and may our Father keep you strong.

June 6, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings from your brothers in Detroit [Michigan]. I’m visiting with friends from days gone by and I was so surprised that your website was old news to these friends. I’ve got to be honest and say the way you write articles that the young and old alike can learn or just get fired up to love all people as our brothers, it’s wonderful, just beautiful.  We (10 of us) just read "The Faith of Jesus" and not a dry eye in the room, and thus my email. I want you dear ones to do something for all who prefer the plain and open teachings of Jesus to watch as you drive, walk, run, sit, stand, work or play, to be careful because we need you. I will be in contact with you soon, in the meantime keep the faith and the love of the entire world. With love and deep respect, your brothers.

June 6, 2013

Hi friends, I just wanted to let you know I’m still here and my spirit is strong although my flesh is getting weaker.  But there are so many blessings that I’m enjoying these days, I can’t complain really. I’ve ordered the book and look forward to reading it, there are many experiences of eyes watering and mouths dropping open when my friends and some family read the articles, I just know the brother who touched my life has to be getting better, so let him know I’m on the team now and reconciling every waking hour. The new series [The Truth that Sets Us Free] is a winner with my sister who is a pioneer and very active with [Jehovah’s Witnesses]. So in my wheelchair or with a walker, I’m busy in the work. I say I’ve never been worse but never felt better, thank you for your informative and inspiring articles.

June 5, 2013

Great Day to you AJW, I’m a recent reader and can’t tell you kind one just what a saving grace your articles have been for me. I was going to meetings and having my study, but when it came to giving up my belief in going to be with Jesus in the heavens, it gave me a sick feeling in my stomach so after, the sister who was conducting the study just stop coming. But I guess it was for the best, that’s why your site has been a comfort for me and I just wanted to thank you. God bless you nice folks.

June 4, 2013

Good Day to you brothers, thank you for such charged articles on your website. I find great comfort when reading them with Bible in hand, your presentation of information helps me to do some real soul searching on what I believe, I’ve been associated with [Jehovah’s Witnesses] for 7 years and have always wanted the heavens but am constantly told the chances I’m anointed are slim to none. But your info gave me the nudge I needed last Memorial and it’s the only thing out here that keeps my motor going, but I am having some success with non-witnesses in talking about the heavens with them making it real, that God expects his children to reflect his qualities.  So it has provided me with a built-in ministry. So please continue and may our Father in heaven bless your efforts.

June 2, 2013

Hello brothers and sisters, I’m a new partaker of just 3 years, and I’ve not had some of the hardships that some have encountered. It is difficult having the, as you call them, Contemplations on heavenly life since all seem to be convinced the doors have closed for the heavens. So I’m gratefully overjoyed that this site provides such an alternative of spiritual food. It’s interesting in my case that since I’m young, the elders probably feel I'll just grow out of it and come to my senses. The point you made in the series on the meat of the Bible being Jesus teachings [Receiving Truth] is so, so true and I see that the Christian hope is the heavenly living hope and for me that’s the simple way of understanding it all, everything else becomes the teachings of men; this is what this or that means kinda reasoning. So once again continue letting your light shine.

June 1, 2013

Hi friends, I enjoyed the latest article in the series [Being Led to Truth]. I found it to be very encouraging and faith strengthening. The depth of your article I believe is why you receive the [Questions and Responses] that you do. I was reading them earlier this week and people are not accustomed to having to think spiritually, it challenges the norm. But I’ve found them and my friends have found great inspiration from the entire site, so from all of us we want to thank you.

June 1, 2013

Hello fine friends of faith, just read "Being Led to Truth" and it underscores the need to examine our teachings because what and how I understood the Bible and life in general is completely different than two or three years ago. What I’ve found is that when I step into a mode of seeking for truth, I no longer fear the boggie man if I search outside the Bible or the Society’s publications. And it’s funny, the only things that have happened is my love for the Father Jehovah God has grown. I can feel his wind at my back pushing me forward. So thank you friends for doing what you do without

May 31, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings to you faithful Sons, I was reading some of your Brotherhood Section articles and my heart skipped a beat when reading Worshiping with Spirit and Truth, beautiful article.  Really at times when I read from the site, I want to then be an Overseer just to give a talk on the subject, but Jehovah knows my heart and so it’s for the best that I don't because I would not hold back from speaking as you say the "plain and open teaching," unfiltered mind you. But please stir the pot of heaven sent manna. Jehovah be with you friends.

May 29, 2013

Hello friends at AnointedJW, I’ve been reading your articles and I just would like to say Congratulations on the ‘JW’ standing for witnesses of Jesus. And that’s no put down of Jehovah's worthy name.  It’s just a fact.  We are disciples of Jesus and we teach, or should I say we ought to teach, the things the Son of God/Son of Man instructed.  I’ve been a witness for 31 years and a partaker for 17 years and the various attack that I’ve read in your [Questions and Responses] I can relate to. And that’s why "I’m as mad as heaven and I’m not going to take it anymore."  You brothers and sister around the globe, wake up to the living hope. And to you dear faithful friends and brothers of Christ Jesus, keep on proclaiming the freedom of the Sons of God.

May 26, 2013

Is God doing a wonderful thing? You certainly are.  I cannot believe it. I stumbled upon your website and so much that you have said, I had already come to the conclusion. Take for example taking of the emblems. I came to the firm decision about three years ago that I should take the emblems. However it took me a year to pluck up the courage to do so and last year was my first time.  There is more I can say on how I agree with you (two tier Christianity for example - so called anointed and earthly Christians) but suffice to say that I admire your efforts. Bravo. Your measured approach is admirable and whilst you retain your humble spirit and desire to listen as well as teach, I expect God’s spirit should flow. May you have God’s Blessing. Keep up the good work!!

May 25, 2013

Hello [family], we thought we would give you an update on the fruitage of what began in [Los Angeles], we are still bringing forth guys with outstanding results maybe not with the quantity but the quality is grade A, as in Anointing, of some group leaders in Denver and in Chi-town. Both bloods & crips in both states giving Christ a change to take root in the hearts of some, so we’re excited about that. Really love the Speaking Truth series. Love you both and Keep letting your light shine.

May 22, 2013

Hey Now, all of you wonderful people. I just read your entire Speaking Truth Series and I must say it blew my mind. I wanna get to know the Jesus you talk about. I’m going to pass on this site to some friends here at work. A wonderful patient wrote a note about the Kingdom and I promised to look you up and I’m glad I did. God bless you Christians and I hope the patient recovers fast.

May 22, 2013

[From a former Elder] Hey Friends, I want to mention that I have stepped down from serving as an elder.  I couldn’t stay in a teaching capacity and direct the friends to a dead hope in the world of partial Biblical understanding. I believe Jesus totally regarding passing from death to life for all those who recognize they are sons and not just buddies of Jehovah, and all have the heavenly hope if they are CHRISTIANS.  So yes brothers I stepped down so as to be able with freeness of speech to help as many as possible find sonship with our Father in heaven. Love you friends and I hope one day all followers of Jesus do just that, follow him.

May 22, 2013

Hello friends and spirit family, I just read the new installment of the Truth series [Living the Truth] and I get spiritual envy when I see the partaker number in the sited experience, which I see as something to shoot for next Memorial.  We had at my daughter’s in Texas I think 54, so in a little light-hearted spirit fun, I throwing down the challenge to all lovers of Christ to get 20 more than you had last year of true son of the heavenly kingdom. I believe in what is taking place with the plain and open teachings because religion never stuck to my daughters like the religion OF Jesus has, and my grandchildren's grades are slowly getting better. So I thank you and on a personal note I couldn’t be more proud to know you both, and while others may not know you, I smile inside when people say "the plain and authentic teaching.”  I go, its growing y'all.

May 22, 2013

Hey Brothers and Sister, I’m a [Jehovah’s Witness] and finally had the privilege of meeting the brother from the site. A wealth of biblical insight, some of your articles have impressed me for some months now and what scares me is the common sense logic of what you present and when you read your article along with the Bible you say to yourself OMG and you say Noooo. Then you read it again and it bears witness as to truth. Now I’m a [Jehovah’s Witness] in absolute limbo, so I’m still working things out in my mind and spirit. In the meantime, I wish you friends the very best and I hope the brother has a speedy recovery. May Jehovah continue with you and I pray our [Governing Body] take an honest look at your site.

May 21, 2013

To the authors of AnointedJW, I applaud your effort in trying to bring positive change to a group that really never speaks for the "least" of Christ brothers because they spend most of their time speaking for Christ Jesus himself. I had been partaking for 12 years and I admit I got so discouraged that I left because it was like the anointing was a poison of some sort like getting AIDS the way people treated you. But with the kinds of articles you brothers write, you've given new life to the heavenly hope for myself and my to daughters who read your [Question and Response] about the age of partakers and feel like they are ready for the "upward call."  So we’re gathering with some friends this weekend to have a heavenly supper and commune with the Father, so keep following your heart and don’t give up like I did even though I’ve rebounded and got a second wind, you friends stay strong for the many. In God's love we remain.

May 20, 2013

[From a former Elder] Good Day to you friends, I’m an elder in the congregation and had served for 23 years, I’ve been partaking since 1993 and it is with your web site that now has my old juices going dear brothers. I read the article awhile back on [Proving Ourselves Worthy of the Christ] and it made me sick to my stomach because of being an anointed slacker in my ministry of making disciples of the heavenly kingdom.  So with the encouragement from my wife in full support, I have stepped down.  Now let me just say this, my love for Jehovah and the arrangement is still very dear to my heart and the friends, but it just feels right for me not to be in a teaching capacity. Now I’m not trying to start a big revolt or anything, I just except the plain and open teachings of Jesus over that of the [Governing Body] at present. So come what may, I wanted to take a mild but firm stand for Christ Jesus and I pray all of God's people come to know that I’M NOT SPECIAL.  They too are His children. God bless you hard working friends.

May 19, 2013

Hey. [The family] says the Truth Series is the best so far and that's saying a lot. Keep up the spiritual nuggets because it’s great stuff for the ministry, Peace be with you.

May 19, 2013

From the entire staff of Doctors and Nurses, we want the amazing patient and this site to continue and no matter where this man of faith goes, we wish him well. Please continue writing spiritual articles that inspire nothing but good. God bless.

May 19, 2013

First of all, thank you for the website compelling and faithful to the truth of Christ Jesus. I am an anointed brother of Christ formerly a [Jehovah’s Witness].  It is amazing to see the body of Christ in unity of teachings, but most of all showing the real love of our Heavenly Father YHWH. I have a website which I share many of the same thoughts as yours.  It is Jehovah's Witnesses Straight Talk. I just wanted to touch bases with you brothers. I will be spending time on your website enjoying the feast of spiritual food God has so grandly given through the body of Christ. It reminds me of David’s words that there is nothing lacking for those loving Jehovah.  I have complete faith in restoration of truth, for our Lord and Master whom is faithful is eternal imperishable truth. May the Undeserved Kindness of our Lord fill your hearts. Your Brother. http://jwsstraighttalk.squarespace.com/

May 18, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings from your extended family. I’m visiting some friends I’ve known for many years and they too find many of the articles on the site really beautifully written.  Those in the Brotherhood section and this new series on Speaking Truth is fantastic. I say these things with gladness coupled with sadness, as you must feel at times when you’re writing these articles, that this is so in your face simple, why didn’t I catch this years ago. But on the bright side, we’re getting it now and I, along with the friends up north, enjoy the refreshing Kingdom of the Heavens in your face hope. God be with you and we are spreading this real Good News anew.

May 17, 2013

Thanks! I enjoyed the ["Truth That Sets Us Free"] Thank you! I appreciate all the honest information you’ve given. I hope to pass on these messages so more come to an accurate knowledge of the plain and open teachings of Christ.

May 16, 2013

[From a Circuit Overseer] Hey I’ve been so busy but I just had to comment on the ["Truth That Sets Us Free"] series and let me say in confidence to you and all your readers, this should replace the symposium for the District Convention, this is superb writing, well thought out "food" for thought material.  The dessert [referred to in [Receiving Truth] is profoundly true in that the lens with which we view Jehovah and his purposes and how we worship him shouldn’t be predicated on prophecy. As the saying goes "that’s too much like right" to just go by the meat station, section two. Keep pressing forward in this effort. I know it’s a struggle to make change but the fight is well worth it. Look forward to the next installment. Jehovah be with your fine spirit you show.

May 16, 2013

Hello to my spiritual family, I had no idea you knew how to cook. [Regarding Receiving Truth], I'll take 1 serving of section 1, and 2 helpings of section 2 and no thank you for section 4.  I think the break down is brilliant and the War in heaven scene is really something to think about because too much teaching in all religions spend too much time eating dessert and getting fat in the wallet because of it. My two spirit led friends, you have come up with in this series a game changer. God bless.

May 15, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings friends, I just read your latest article in the series [Receiving Truth] and this is a much needed lesson on the importance of understanding the true meaning of Jesus Christ's teachings. It brings to light the way we value the various parts of the Bible in a simplified way. I must say this brothers, that it saddens my spirit to think how much this information is needed in the brotherhood of Jehovah people, but pride ruins intentions too often. You brothers keep humble, stay focused on the pure teachings and maybe, just maybe we can get our dear brothers to look to the heavens for all of the association of brothers. Great Job!!

May 15, 2013

[From an Elder] Hello dear friends, me and [two other elders, one of whom has stepped down] were just talking about you zealous hard working brothers and sisters and presto a new gem a true treasure. [Receiving Truth]. We've taken a vote to not choose a favorite article anymore, it seems the spirit says “if you liked that one watch this."  But seriously friends this is a article that we will be reading over several times. The point you make concerning section 2 of the Bible and the breakdown really will show what part of dinner we truly enjoy. So we need to find more spiritual meat eaters. Dear Brother, with love and a heart of appreciation, thank you and may our Christ and our Heavenly Father bless you and be with a true lovers of Truth.

May 14, 2013

[From Germany] Although you are active brothers in good standing, you must be well aware of the past "witchhuntings" that affected many of our beloved brothers and sisters who have had the courage to question the [Faithful and Discreet Slave].  “Independent thinking" is labeled apostasy and I don’t have to paint a picture to you about how those who are declared guilty of this "capital offence" against the [Governing Body] are treated. The term has really been perverted to fit their own means. Your article about this subject is fabulous. [Beware of Apostates!]  Take care.  Your brother in Christ.

May 13, 2013

[From Austria] Dear, Brothers and Sisters. We come from Austria, and we have also found this site. We are Jehovah’s Witnesses since children over 30 years. Now we have found too Jesus, it is very proud to see how our Jesus is searching for Brothers. There is also a German site like this. Bruderinfo.com. It is nice to see how our father is with us. Thanks for all and go forward to help other to find the truth. Sorry for my English. Best regards from Austria.

May 11, 2013

Dear Brothers, I've been a JW for over 40 years and what has never felt right is how we accept as a core belief that the New Testament was written exclusively to a heaven bound group and at the same time, contrary to everything Jesus said, have so easily given up our own heavenly hope. How did this apostasy happen? Our heavenly father would not make children he would keep from ever seeing him. The Bible states man was made in God's image. Our potential for immortality could be bound up in those words.

When The Family study program was encouraged, our family started reading straight from the Bible without the bias of the publications. That proved to be a real eye opener. For example, we read the whole chapter of Matthew 24 and wondered at precisely which verse did the prophecy telescope into our day?  We couldn't find any such verse.  We found, however, much evidence that every verse was fulfilled within the disciples'  lifespan. Of course, this meant I couldn't honestly use this and parallel texts in my ministry as proof that we are in the "last generation."

Another eye opener came when reading Mark 9: 38-42, where Jesus said it would not be correct to label as an enemy one who expelled demons in Jesus’ name independently and was not joined to the group. Jesus said this person would have his reward in heaven, too.  How are we to reconcile this text with the elitist-group mentality of the organization? We can't.

I enjoy your articles immensely and pray that your work continues to be blessed. Your articles show that there is a far grander story for humanity in our day than anything written by the G.B.

May 11, 2013

Dear brother and sister, I’ve been appreciating the new articles [The Truth Series] and am encouraged by the stories of those "lowly" ones finding the plain and open teachings of Christ. Thank you! With brotherly love.

May 11, 2013

[From Germany] Beloved, I beg you with all my heart, to translate your article in German, because in Germany we read your site but can not read many statements. I understand a lot and am very grateful to you! This wonderful message MUST be of the world, all people, to be announced! Please share this wonderful message to everyone, ...... in all languages as did the apostles. Many greetings from Northern Germany.

May 11, 2013

[From German] Beloved brothers in Christ. I am glad to have found your site. I had close contact to JWs for about 10 years before drifting away. The spirit of our father has been dispensed to me since a couple of years now and as for yourself, reading Father's word has become a completely different matter since then. Most of the conclusions I have been led to are exactly as yours. This is amazing as I never had contact with your org before! I am looking forward to get in touch with some of you. I live close to the border in Germany and am very fluent in German and French. So feel free to point out to me the articles you deem most useful for a translation.  Your brother in Christ.

May 10, 2013

Hey good people, I’ve been doing some introspective thinking as I take in [The Truth Series]. I keep saying this is my favorite then you write another Gem and if anyone has a calling to feed its you two. Your writing as I look over the older issues compared to the latest has become more straight forward more solid food. The [Circuit Overseer] raves about [you]. [He] said he felt like a 3rd grader after talking to [you]. Hey you two witnesses, oh did I just say that. lol. Really keep doing what you need too.

May 10, 2013

Greetings brothers, I’m new to your site and find it interesting. I’ve read two articles and your take on the heavens is reasonable. My doctor told me that I might feel better if I talk to his patient and I’m glad I did. And it’s funny in a way because JW's don’t go seeking help from other folks you know (cause they're worldly) but to my surprise he too was a Witness. So I kinda want to say this chance meeting was Jehovah's direction. Call it what you want, it did me wonders. I hope the brother gets well.

May 9, 2013

[From an elder] Hello Dear Family, I’ve been talking to brothers in Texas, Ohio and in D.C all serving in the Congregation for many years and who have recently confessed union with Christ Jesus. The brothers in Ohio have been reading the plain teachings of Jesus and for the last year. They see things so much more clearly as to shepherding the flock and paying close attention to their teachings and they are finding it so hard to teach the doctrines and ever changing prophesies. I told the Brothers, let the spirit of truth guide you as Jesus promised, and that I didn’t want to be an influence one way or another but I would support them no matter what they decide to do. Its becoming so wolf-like, if you get my meaning, in the [Watchtower Bible & Tract Society] because of the sonship issues.  But so far, the friends that I know are clinging to the cup of Jesus. Send the love of the Santa Cruz family to the faith sons everywhere.

May 9, 2013

[From a heart surgeon] Evening family. I can’t wait to get to the heavens. I know I sound like a little child but I eat and drink the articles on the site 24/7 and I find myself getting depressed when I have to stop. Like now I have to work. But we will be in touch.

May 9, 2013

Good Afternoon, I just had a wonderful time reading the "Remembrance" article and a few others, "You Will Be Witnesses of Me." Really nice information and I needed to read something that doesn’t go into doctrine but tells me to praise the Lord more. I’m gonna read the Brotherhood Section. God bless and keep doing praise and worship articles.

May 8, 2013

[From another elder who recently stepped down] Hello my dear friends, I’ve got to express my relief [at stepping down] and my feelings of living a true life dedicated to the Father. I still have my friends who all just so happens to be anointed. But even those who still live in a dead hope, we still talk and laugh and I still say with freeness of speech that if you want to follow the lamb dear friend you know what's necessary. Sometimes when the dead hopers have moments of reality of Jesus teaching, they see clearly that the heavens is the living hope but the fear of men over takes them.  Living a lie is bad for your health because if the Watchtower talks too crazy, I just don’t attend, or should I say we don’t attend, and if we do, we just don’t comment. But after the meeting, that’s when the fun starts because everybody now wants to know why we didn’t comment, so Jehovah has a way of finding a way for His will to be done. Hey guys love you and all of the friends sends their love, [another young brother] says ‘I’m still on Fire!’

May 8, 2013

[From a brain surgeon] Hello fellow Christians, I read the articles [The Truth that Sets Us Free and What is Truth?] and "You Will be Witnesses of Me" and I must say the info is quite refreshing in its delivery, well spoken. If people only could rise up to this type of depth of love for Christ Jesus and believe in the Holy Ghost in a real everyday way it would be beautiful. A minister introduced the site to me and in our conversation I could tell he was a serious disciple of the Gospel. He took me on a journey that I didn’t want to come back from.  My long time friend [another doctor] said they go on road trips all the time. But in making a very long story a little shorter, I will be reading more because you really caught my eye in your presentation. God bless you and the gentleman. Good Health to you brothers of Christ.

May 8, 2013

[Former Circuit Overseer] Good day dear friends, since stepping down, it’s been a bit of a world-wind of activity to the point of exhaustion in aiding one to see their own sonship from, as you friends say, the plain open authentic teachings of Jesus. The first installment of the "The Truth that Sets Us Free" series has hit home with the friends and my dear wife of 43 years is like a kid in a candy store, reading the articles night and day. I never realized how suppressed the friends are when it comes to the heavenly hope. Many of the friends want the living hope but are afraid to come forward, so what we’re suggesting is to do the remembrance supper at home. We have got so much work to do so continue begging the Master for more worker. May Jehovah the Father of all which is perfect bless you friends.

May 8, 2013

[From Bolivia] Dear Brothers, I would like to translate your articles to Spanish. Please let me know where do I start.

May 8, 2013

[From an elder in Germany] I read the introducing article of your new symposium [The Truth that Sets Us Free] as well as the first article [What is Truth?]  I find it's written phantasticly - logical, convincing and arousing interest. With great interest I'm looking forward to part 2. Currently I'm translating these first articles into German language. The introduction is already finished. When article no. 1 will be finished, too I'll send you both. And if you want to you may publish it.

May 4, 2013

Hello dear brothers, my mom called me and told me about the site and we've been talking almost non-stop since 4 a.m. reading articles and comparing the Society’s takes on things and presto I think you've got something special here. "Apostates" hit like a cup of coffee and then the Memorial Articles sealed the deal as to your love for Jesus. I’m 32 years old associated with [Jehovah’s Witnesses] all my life and this is a really pleasant well spoken site. It’s a shame not to share this with my elders but I can hear already what they would say. So I’ll just use some of the ideas from the articles. Well I’ve got to try to get some sleep. Thank you to my mother for the introduction and thank you friends for doing such a great job of teaching.

May 3, 2013

[From a Circuit Overseer] Greetings. Hello, good evening dear friends. I briefly want to say that I truly have enjoyed reading your new articles, the "Apostates" and "You Will Be Witnesses of Me."  You continue in tone to be as genuine as when we speak. So I want you friends to know that many, many of the publishers know of the website and talk of sonship like it’s the C.Taze days. lol. I thank you for maintaining the brotherly tone and the sticking to the scriptures as your proof of stance, and your reason for your spirited appeal to the Governing brothers, well done and tasteful. May you friends remain in the Fathers Love.

EMAILS FROM VISITORS

APRIL 2013 - MAY 2013 - JUNE 2013

We have received several wonderful emails expressing appreciation for the site.  Those that are not too personal are published in this section for the encouragement of our visitors.

To those who have sent us emails in support of this work, we thank you, and we want you to know how important your emails are to our entire body of Christ.

April 30, 2013

[From Sweden] I will see to that our church starts studying your articles. They are the best there is.  Several thousands in Sweden have already read some material on your website.

April 30, 2013

Good Evening, we at [a local] hospital nursing staff hope that the cancer patient who brought spirit and healing to many, we in turn now pray that he's doing well and in good health. We still very much keep up with the encouraging articles so God Bless and may you continue bringing the joy of the living God to people.

April 30, 2013

Hello Brothers, I feel so blessed to have at my fingers spiritual food for those who truly have their "minds fixed on the things above." I just had the pleasure of reading the entire section on The Brotherhood and I’ve got to tell you brothers in all humility and having served for 30 years in circuit work, this section opened my heart to the point of tears. Now I’m on a real mission and being 67 years young, I have a "burning" within my spirit. Thank you friends, thank you!

April 30, 2013

Dear Brothers, can’t thank you enough for your fine writing and respectful letters. The Slave has really made a mess of scriptures concerning the end time judgment. My feelings are basically as you brothers keep repeatedly saying, to live the plain and authentic teachings of Jesus. I’m one of those who have taken a stand and have confessed Christ and I'll tell you friends that it is your food that is feeding because you are concerned like no other site I’ve seen keeping your eye on the prize. Keep suppling us with whatever you come up with in your spiritual kitchen. May Jehovah bless your wisdom.

April 29, 2013

[From an elder] Dear Brothers, I hope you are both doing well.  Judging by the two [Circuit Overseers] who have stepped down, I would surmise this represents greater cracks in the organization’s ability to maintain the status quo.

April 28, 2013

[From a Circuit Overseer in Southern California] I must say with all truthfulness I never expected your site to have such a meaningful effect on the Congregations in so many places but after reading your entire site, I’m understanding more so the mass appeal, sonship plain and simple and also you’re not seeking glory and for that I will say from the heart "thank you." Now does that mean I agree with every statement in every article, of course there are differences of thinking but what I will say is that the approach to every article is done with class and not disrespectful, so bravo friends bravo! May Jehovah the true Father continue giving you wisdom from above.

April 27, 2013

[From an elder] Hello my brother and sister. This is quite a thrill to be writing you.  I’m an Elder in the Congregation with [another elder in Central California] visiting some fellow partakers in [Southern California] and I've got to say what a beautiful pair of articles the ones on "Apostates" and "You Will be Witnesses of Me."  We’re all at a park having some fellowship, thinking about our future and these days where else can you turn for encouraging spiritual heavenly food but to AnointedJW.  A group of about 14 of us are our praying one at a time for you both. We need this Manna so please continue and may the guiding hand of our Great Leader be heavily upon you.

April 25, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer in the Mid-Western United States] Dear Brothers, I believe the profound time for change has come. I’ve often read and heard of the wonderful things you've been able to accomplish and I’m truly thankful for the way you respectfully have conducted the ministry of uplifting the spiritual conversation the world over. I recently stepped down as C.O. [Circuit Overseer] for many reasons but the main issue is that the plain and authentic teachings in the Bible as Jesus taught minus prophecy indicates "as many as did receive him" were welcomed. So since the "Slave" won’t change, I decided and my wife also said enough is enough. So I’m happy to just to live in peace and let my light shine. You friends will be loved and put thru the ringer but maintain your loyalty to the Christ and to
April 25, 2013

April 25, 2013

Hey family, you two continue to amaze me and others. I’m sitting at my station with some co-workers and after reading the new gem of an article [“You Will Be Witnesses of Me”], my co-workers all say the problem with the article, "it’s too much like right" "it makes to much sense" and I totally agree. This is part of why people shy away from Witnesses. They believe we don’t think highly of Jesus, like the Jews say even to this day Jesus was just A Prophet. But this is one of those landmark articles that once again says what most of us have always thought. We live in C.E not B.C.E. As for us, we’re on the train and the conductor is the Christ.

April 24, 2013

It́'s almost eleven years since left the [Jehovah’s Witnesses].  I had no where to go. At least so it felt. I think God always took care of me. It́s a miracle that Ím alive today. You brothers have helped both me and others so much. No fame, glory, money in this world would be enough to repay you. Thanks for your tremendous effort in healing lost sons.

April 24, 2013

[From a former Circuit Overseer in Western United States] Dear wonderful brothers, it is my honor to have found you before the end of my natural life made its call. Your site has forever changed me for the better, though I do feel the shame of teaching untruths for so many years. I do love the Father and the brothers but after the spirit bore witness in both mind and in my heart, it was no way I could speak another falsehood. So I had to step down as C.O. [Circuit Overseer] and live my life for the Kingdom of the heavens. I want you friends to know I’m forever grateful for you and my other brother who are aiding me in this process. May Jehovah keep you strong as we beg the Master to send out more workers.

April 17, 2013

Bravo Bravo Bravo!! on your recent articles [Lastly He Sent His Son. and Beware of Apostates. I feel so much everlasting gratitude for the peace I've gained from your faith strengthening spiritual articles. This new one touched me deeply, because of my association with Witnesses, I've cried constantly because of the rulership of the Society, yes rulership. But I will not allow my new spirit to leave me bitter because my spirit now doesn’t cry out, it screams out ‘Abba' Father. So I’m secure in my faith and I pray all day that  many sick, weak, shackled people from all religions read what you have to say. As for my health, now it’s one day at a time. But I’m blessed and I hope either on earth or in heaven I get a chance to see the helping hand that brought me hope. God is with you, please continue, millions need you.

April 17, 2013

Hello co-workers and lightbearers! I’m so glad you wrote the "Beware of Apostates." They are really timely words, the name calling and judgmental attitudes must stop. Let me tell you, the work in at least 3 hospitals have benefitted greatly from brother man's outreach to the Cancer and Aids patients. We could not be anymore blessed to have humble folks doing faithfully and doing it Discreetly. lol. Love you guys!

April 16, 2013

Good Afternoon, I just had read some of the newer articles and I’m better for it. I must say the concise way of delivery touched me especially with "Jesus In Our Midst" and “Lastly He Sent His Son."  It felt very personal the reading of it so much so that I re-read them twice and the very same feeling came over me.  I’ve never claimed to be a religious man but I recognize that there is a Great Power that ignites us. I’ve on occasion spoken with a patient that come to the hospital and I promised I'd give the site a glance.  As noted, it turned out to be much more than a glance! An extraordinary man, he is an excellent representative of the site. Not as patients, but we need more examples of goodness like this soft-spoken man. I wish the site and the gentleman all the best.

April 15, 2013

Good Day to you authors, Bravo for the "Beware of Apostates!" article. It hits home for me because I’ve had disagreements in the past about "current understandings" whether if it were "generations" or "sheep and goats" or the big bugaboo "1914."  You see the problem is I have a mind and Jehovah just so happened to bless me with the ability to "think and reason on things."  So I know of what you friends are conveying so beautifully. I hope with strong and deep respect that the [Watchtower Bible & Tract Society] will stop with the name calling and let us publishers have a personal relationship with God. And leave the judging to the Father.

April 15, 2013

[From an elder] Hello Friends, what a sincere article [Beware of Apostates!] and a much needed one, this calling of apostasy if a publisher has a disagreement with a teaching or two. When you think about it, if I have to agree with every teaching from any man or body of men, that is the height of worship. That kind of loyalty should be reserved for Jehovah due to the fact that He is perfect. Everything else is relative subjection. I thank you friends, and all of your family appreciate what you do. This article on Apostates is a must read. God bless.

April 15, 2013

[From an elder] [Regarding the Beware of Apostates! article] Greetings dear friends, talk about timing. I was talking to some friends yesterday about the need to be careful in name calling whether sheep or goats, apostates and so forth, so this is timely to say the least.  And having heard what is being said at the "God's Word" District Convention, this will be beneficial indeed. If only "you know who" could humbly just take an honest look at what it is being expressed. The fear tactics are alarming to me, and the power display.  And my friends up north and some brothers in New York and in Ohio have expressed their concerns as well. But let me say from the heart and with freedom of speech, this is powerful info friends. Many enjoy the frank yet respectful articles so may the Father continue to bless your effort to bring and shine light into a, if not dark world, a mighty dim one.

April 15, 2013

[From an elder]  Dear Friends, I read with great interest your article "Beware of Apostates!" It made me reminisce about days long gone by when a different spirit prevailed among Jehovah's Witnesses. I remember during the decade of the 1960's and very early 70's many of my Witness associates would freely discuss possible alternative views of scripture interpretation.

Those discussions were sometimes spirited but always very stimulating as it made you think deeply on spiritual things. The "A" word (Apostate) was never even conceived of in our discussions. No one sought to compel anyone else to embrace their ideas. What a wonderful time that was.

If anyone just goes back and read some of the questions from readers printed in the Watchtower during the 1950's through 1970's, you will see that our brothers in Brooklyn were much more open to publishing and attempting to answer very difficult questions that were somewhat of a challenge to our understanding at the time. Many questions were raised then that if someone were to ask the same questions today they would be charged with questioning the authority of the Governing Body and would quickly be labeled either an apostate or someone who has apostate leanings. This is a lamentable state we have come to. Our Lord Christ Jesus never sought to evade or censor difficult questions.

Our system has become very much like the first century Jewish system. That system became one where the people became spiritually stagnant and dying because they had crystallized truth into a creed; when truth becomes formulated as a boundary line of self-righteousness instead of serving as a signpost of spiritual guidance and progress, such teachings lose their creative and life-giving power and ultimately become merely preservative and fossilizing.

I hope your well written article on Apostasy will give all readers reason to pause before attributing the defaming label of "apostate" to someone who simply holds a different opinion on certain scriptural matters. Best wishes, Your brother.

April 15, 2013

I've been meaning to say hello to you friends it seems forever.  I’ve been reading the articles for about 7 months now, and have been associated with [Jehovah’s Witnesses] for 20 years, baptized 17 years and partaking 4 years. So you can understand why I feel so strongly what you write is manna from heaven. This site is not like any other.  You state what is true, not with hatred, but with what takes place in the association. The "Lastly He Sent His Son" was quite tastefully done, explaining the old teachings to the new, the prophets to Jesus. And it seems we haven’t moved the needle an inch in 2000 years, a shame. But Jehovah and His Christ never gave up on me, so I like yourselves hold out a glimmer of hope for our family of brothers and sisters. Once again, thank you for well aimed, well written articles of encouraging words. May Jehovah bless your efforts.

April 13, 2013

Your recent article, "Lastly He Sent His Son" was superb in every way. Your own parable was remarkably successful in illustrating how many Christians have allowed their place in Christ household to be subverted. How unfortunate! Hopefully with your kind persistence our brothers in Brooklyn will someday yield to Christ leadership in the fullest sense he desired. Until then every individual has an opportunity to take their place at the banquet table. No one can take your place away unless you relinquish it. As you so succinctly indicated all power has been given Christ in Heaven and on EARTH.  May your articles and ministry continue to awaken many more sons and daughters to the incomparable hope in the Kingdom of the Heavens, both among Jehovah's Witnesses and the world at large.

To the authors of AnointedJW, I'd like to commend you on the most educational web sites I’ve ever seen. It’s a no frills kind of look at both Father and Son and how beautiful they are. So thank you and may you please continue with this type of writings.

Greetings to you dear friends, I’m very new when it comes to your site, but an oldie when it concerns partaking of our Christ. I think it bold yet tactful and respectful regarding your letters and articles. I'm very much inclined to agree with much you've stated with the "channel." And as was brought to my attention by another brother familiar with the site said "a brother who takes a position of watchcare over another family member has no parental rights unless clearly stated to all members being present or written down, which is not the case in the Bible so one brother to another can only recommend or suggest."  So I'd like to thank you friends for trying to put things in their right order and to the young man who spoke with me. God bless and may Jehovah and his Christ be the wind at your back.

Thank you so much for the response you posted today [Question and Response April 11, 2013]. I can tell you that I belong to Christ and I'm not that much interested in following a governing body that has been proven to be wrong again and again. I love having Jesus as my savior and mediator. And I love also being led by the spirit. Thank you again.  Keep on doing this good work.

[From an elder] Dear friends, I’m grateful for the article "Lastly He Sent His Son." It moved my heart and the hearts of others of the brotherhood of partakers who delight in the way you continue to bestow the proper position the Spirit Of Truth should have in our minstry and also the pure "open and plain teachings of Jesus" is always front and center in your articles. The other members of the body would like you to know that the way you are promoting the Christ and the absolute beauty of our Father is second to none. Keep up this type of love and humility, don’t change. God bless you and til our last breath in Christ we remain unified in faith.

Hello brothers and sisters, this is for the entire brotherhood if you're a first timer to the site, PLEASE read Lastly He Sent His Son, OMG!! Talk about speaking and telling it like it is. WOW, the Christ is alive and well. I love the respect you give man, but more importantly the honor you give the Christ and his spirit helper we also have. Beautiful article friends.This is one of those articles that will show whose side you’re on when it comes to loyalty. I want my food the way it was prepared by Christ! lol God be with you.

[English Translation:]

That's one of the best articles I read. [Lastly He Sent His Son]  It's really according to the "plain and open teachings" of Jesus as you consistently accentuate. I really thank you very much for these open words. In this way Jesus is given the honor that is due to him. Now it's the time to shout out this truth to all who are misled by men claiming to be the "channel" of God. Affectionate regards from your brother in Germany in the Lord

[From German:]

Liebe Brueder, das ist einer der besten Artikel, die ich hier gelesen habe. [Schließlich Er sandte seinen Sohn]. Er entspricht wirklich der "klaren und offenen Lehre" Jesu - so wie ihr das immer betont. Ich danke euch wirklich sehr fuer diese offenen Worte. Auf diese Weise wird Jesus die Ehre erwiesen, die ihm gebuehrt. Es ist wirklich an der Zeit, diese Wahrheit all denen zuzurufen, die durch Menschen irregefuehrt werden, die beanspruchen, der "Kanal" Gottes zu sein.  Herzliche Gruesse aus Deutschland von einem Bruder im Herrn.

Good Afternoon AnointedjW. It’s a pleasure to have been given such an encouraging web-site. Many, many years ago, I was a active Jehovah’s Witness, but it just over time ran its course.  It didn’t feed my spirit, they don’t allow growth unless it benefits the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (WBTS).  So I began just reading the Bible and other writings and I felt free, not in some weird or immoral way. Just free to explore what I honestly believed, and I must say, for a while I was pretty lonely cause as you friends know as a witness you give up everything and just about everyone outside of them (WBTS). But with your articles, my dignity and energy is back and I don’t mind speaking to other religious groups, not judgmental just nice spirit kingdom talk on everything upward. The (WBTS) could learn a thing or two from this site-rep who is a patient. He has a Jesus-like way about him. We could sure use more real sons of Jehovah, I hope your efforts pays off for our generation. God speed in health and God be with all who grab and hold on to these teachings.

I’ve been studying your articles and doing a lot of....wait for it.....Bible reading! Without publications. And I must say it is so enlightening. I’m not looking for an argument with the elders but I must be ready to defend my beliefs, as you said, if they question the hope I have. Right now my main goal is to uplift and inform my wife. Then comes our brothers and the ministry. I’m already "informally" witnessing to friends at work and they are listening a lot more now that the veil is lifted and they don’t feel judged. I’m looking forward to seeing more Articles for study! I have to plant the seed in my congregation. After all, today’s Watchtower talked about the truth and how truth should measure up under observation :-). Exciting times! Thanks again!

Good Afternoon, I’m new to your web-site, its to my liking that's for sure. I was told about your site from a patient in the hospital [in the city]. It must have been God because he was talking to someone else but I heard the site address. In some ways, I think he knew I was listening. I read the [Part 15 -] Good News for All People and Jesus in our Midst.  Beautiful articles, I’m so inspired. God Bless the Father and God be with the patient.

April 6, 2013

[From a doctor] Greetings to you AnointedJW, I felt it an honor to listen to the man of God who happens to be a patient. This gentle soul talked about sonship, not in the manner of most preachers, not at all. You could almost see heaven and feel the presence of God by his heartfelt expressions. I read the Good News Series and find it quite interesting, some of which I will have to re-read, but like the speaker was saying to enter things that are of spirit values always with an open mind to the possibilities so that we are receptive to the leadings of the spirit. What a blessing he was for us all, and to think he's the sick one? Makes me rethink the meaning of being sick. Well thank you and God bless your site I will share the site with others.

Hello brothers and sisters, I’m an inactive [Jehovah’s Witness] because of the teachings, they just don’t match common sense. I’m one of those publishers that still holds to a moral way of life and one who loves the kind of people they are.  It’s just that what I see is kinda weird. After reading the latest article Fearless Sons of the Kingdom] and the Memorial Articles, I believe young and old would like this Good news in a heart beat. Keep going if you can, please!

April 6, 2013

I’m reading some of the articles on the site, when I get breaks.  I had the most interesting conversation with a patient. I work as a pastor at a hospital but I see I’ve got to do my home work. I so appreciate honest and sincere children of God the Father. God bless your work and good luck to the patient, not that he needs it.

April 5, 2013

Hey brothers! Loved the new article! [Fearless Sons of the Kingdom] It builds courage inside me to stand up for my sonship and I hope I’ll be the first of many in my congregation. I’ve been studying up on the scriptures and doing massive amounts of Bible reading in preparation of the days ahead and I hope to reach our brothers [in the local Kingdom Halls].  Thank you brothers! I love you brothers and sisters and hope you all continue to do well in your endeavors to help our other brothers and sisters see the truth! I’ll pray for you!

April 5, 2013

Good Day AnointedJW, I love your site. It’s given me some peace of mind.  I’ve prayed for sonship and if I never get well, I will at least know that heaven is my future. So thank you and Father bless my children, please, to learn about you, please.

April 4, 2013

[From a former elder] Hello and Greetings to all of our brothers and sisters all over the earth.  It’s been my absolute joy over the past 44 years serving in the congregation, but the spirit within me at this time does not allow me to continue with the two hope theory in my preaching work.  So as a partaker of all things heavenly, I will be stepping down as an elder so that I can give all of my time and energy to the storing of treasures in heaven and to increase the Master's belongings because it is time, I personally feel, we as an Association need to, regardless of the fall out, we must preach what is clearly taught by Jesus. I, like so many, have given my entire life to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and I, in my stepping down, in no way want to create conflict or confusion. But I must speak truth as I understand it.  Please let me be clear once again, the truth according to what "I" understand it to be.  And I also believe, if any sincere spirit-led person does not see heaven as the real life, the living hope as Jesus taught, I will continue in prayer for you. God Bless.

You 2 are doing some amazing work. This is the greatest time of sowing of real kingdom seed I’ve ever seen from Jehovah’s Witnesses.  I’m so proud of you guys.

April 4, 2013

AnointedJW, It’s really cool that you're not giving up on the Society, even though it will take an act of God to get them to budge. But if any one can do it, it might as well be you guys. I’m a publisher not yet baptized and the heavenly hope has been my reason for the delay, [because] I’m so looking forward to the real deal the heavens. So right now I’m lost, but I'll be keeping up with your site. Hey God bless and Keep doing your heaven articles.

April 3, 2013

Thank you very much for your encouragement. Now my happiness increased more. I wish this good news will be understood by most of [Jehovah’s Witnesses.]  I will do all possible things on my side. I am reading all the articles posted on the site. And add my email on the alert list.
I hope our brotherhood as God's child will continue.

April 2, 2013

Great things are happening in the local congregations. Everybody's talking about your site. Hello!
