[From a group of AIDS and cancer patients] Hello my Brother, we are just now getting back to our rooms from when you were here. They elected me to say from the bottom, top and middle of our hearts, we thank the good Lord for sending angel in a man suit, we may not have long, at least some of us. Good blessed us so very much. I’m sorry, there just are not words.
September 30, 2013
Good Evening AnointedJW, I’m addicted to your site. I think as long as I’ve been what I call a true believer, this site speaks volumes of clarity above and beyond the sublimely lame bashing negative sites. So thank you good folks for telling it like it was in the 1st century and like it is and should be in the 21st century. I’m an administrator at a local hospital and many of our staff are hooked and cling to some of your articles. No worship involved. lol. Just true appreciation.
September 30, 2013
Hello my friends, we, and I mean a group of 20, went to the meeting yesterday to make comments and one such comment was: "Dear brother, I could be wrong being imperfect, but I don’t recall Jesus Christ, Son of God ever stating any reference to the slave when it comes to my or your relationship and salvation being predicated on the loyalty and 100% devotion to the imperfect slave." Total silence, then the brother conducting said “Well sure sister, if you are a sister.” By this time, the microphone had been taken away so I said out loud "I am." Then he says after the meeting someone will enlighten me! After the meeting, I was shaking hands with everybody and not one person mentioned it, no publisher, pioneer or ministerial servant or elder. When I caught up with the conductor, he said "Now is not a good time. I have to get the field service group out." I just had to relay that experience. Folks wake up and "Get out of Her." Jehovah's got your back, trust him and his Son.
September 30, 2013
Dear brothers, [regarding Publicly Declaring Our Hope] Thank you very much for this encouragement and advice. It is very stressful to go thru one of these "trials", but now I feel if I was dragged in front of these men, I would have the strength and support to know I was standing up for Jesus, no longer for a false Christian organization. If this ever happens to either of you, I hope you record your experience for the world to hear and learn from. Keep up the good work and may God bless all your efforts.

[From a Ministerial Servant] Evening Heirs of the Kingdom, it’s so wonderful reading and taking in truth, Biblical truth that’s straight forward and not with an agenda. Dear friends, I almost lost my breakfast listening to some of the Idolatrous comments [made at the Watchtower Study] and I do believe that’s what they were aiming for. My son who is 11, and my daughter 14, said “dad I want the heavens because that is the home of God.” And my 14 year old said “the Bible sounds closer to the [AnointedJW] website than the Society.” I’m a [Ministerial Servant] in the congregation and handle the territory and to be honest, I’ve got to step down and save my family. I mean, I love people, I really do, but where this is heading is to ‘kiss the ring’ type loyalty. Brothers, [Watchtower after Watchtower] has to do in one way or another with their headship. I’m not alone in my thinking within the congregation. So your method of positive reinforcement of spirit and Christ and the fact that we are all God's children, he didn’t have illegitimate children. Ok, let me calm down and just say thank you and thank Jehovah the Father of All that you exist!!
September 29, 2013
[From an Elder in Northern California] Good Afternoon dear friends, the curiosity of the visit in Reno has opened the door to increased interest in the Kingdom of the heavens not only in our Congregation, but also in Congregations that meet in the same and surrounding Kingdom Halls, and that’s a blessing. Declaring Publicly article hit home in a big way in today’s Watchtower study. You see, we made sure that all comments come from your soul. I mean let’s express ourselves freely and openly, and we had a ball. Let me tell you this, just as it is [in Reno], well we ain’t too shabby ourselves. And down here, we're taken back the KINGDOM! Hagar hasn’t a chance. Hey, Love you both and so does the remaining ones of Sarah's seed.
September 29, 2013
We love it! The new article on Declaring Publicly our Hope is wonderful in its no frills approach, just good 'ole straight talk. So thank you both, keep up the much need info.
September 29, 2013
Great Day to all. Thank you for the encouragement and fine sonship articles. I’m a [Jehovah’s Witness] and have been since 1977, and have partaken of the emblems since 1994. And I must say this is food, I really don’t know what to think because you know how the Society feels about outside info. But after speaking with a kind and, might I add, pretty deep brother that I’m as confused at this very moment like never before cuz this is goooood stuff. I’m going to get back to my reading now but you have given me this day a treasure. May our loving heavenly Jehovah bless your efforts!!!
September 29, 2013
AnointedJW, I impart greetings upon you with gratitude, I want to thank all involved in the making and the teaching of your minister. He spoke so kindly to us last night, my son has been in and out of the hospital since birth and now is so depressed, like all children would rather be playing with other children, so from heaven a man spoke the struggles we are all having and so he said if we had internet to read maybe an article or two like "The Faith of Jesus" and it is beautiful and I’m sorry for not getting to the others yet but this one I’ve read 6 times. Oh how it has put a spark in both our eyes my son says "ok mom one more time I promise." So I read it again and again and again, but i dont mind. So thank God for the wonderful soul from heaven and God be with the authors of such an encouraging website.
September 28, 2013
Hello and Good Evening to you friends, I’m so thrilled with this truth you are speaking in "Publicly Declaring" article. I can’t tell you just how much on the money you are. I’ve partaken now for over 44 years but I never could reconcile the special nature of 144,000. I had always and still believe that the heavens is the Christ hope for all, I’m right there in the trenches with you friends. God is so good, you keep true to the real hope.
September 28, 2013
Hello family, just wanted to say how these awful, but real things are happening to our fellow heirs and siblings and that’s the sad truth. We are all children under One God the Father whether partakers or not partakers, same religion or different religion, full of faith or faithless. It upsets me in that from 2000 years ago zeltch, nothing has changed until AnointedJW dared to be different, get off the beaten path and pursue what some claim to be New Age stuff that turns out to really be Original stuff because it’s what Jesus taught. So myself and many others thank the zeal for Christ you have and the love you have for the spiritual brotherhood of true believers. May strength and blessings continue to brighten and light your roadway.
September 27, 2013
Hey I’m so high on the spirit. I’ve read about 10 of the articles but first, I started with the Heavenly Hope series like you suggested. And my wife is now reading the Truth series. She thought I was losing my mind until she started reading them. Now were starring at each other like we have been hit by lighting, but it’s a friendly lighting. I hope to speak with you again, dear brother, my wife is saying find that man! lol. This is a site that tells it like it really is, I mean this is solid food here. I can’t begin to tell you how electric this feels. Thank you so much for getting sick. No seriously, God bless you Sir.
September 26, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Greetings to All, I’ve been so busy friends, so I’m stealing a moment to give a warm embrace to you for your continued excellent contributions to the positive spirit that manifests itself clearly in the Association. I can tell those who come to this site when comments are made in the school or [Watchtower] study. I also heard that some of the brothers were questioned and must have passed the apostate quiz because I've heard nothing but glowing reports in many other cities as well. Let me continue with further pats on the back info, the "Bringing Heaven Down" series is truly a thought provoking topic. Well done brother and I can’t say enough good things to you, dear sister (we all know where you should be writing) for promoting dialog that’s getting thirsting ones thinking. So bravo. Bless you both!
September 26, 2013
Keep up your good and so important work. The world needs you. Much love.
September 25, 2013
Good Afternoon, I was told if I’m a lover of God, I'd enjoy the site. Well I am a lover of God and I love this information on this site, you talk in positive terms. The Bringing Heaven Down series has caught my attention, I think it’s cutting edge thinking. I like the possibility because it saves lives and as a nurse you can imagine I’m all for the saving aspect of your thinking. Really fresh. God bless your at least trying to make a difference!
September 24, 2013
Dear Brothers, I've been searching your site intensely to find something that is not good fruit. My sister has introduced me to this site and we both have felt the calling for the last 20 years. But both were scared that we were emotionally or mentally compromised. Especially after discussing feelings with others. The last convention I went to the new ones of the anointed were mocked as crazy people. I wanted to partake the next year but thought I was mentally damaged and that only super spiritual individuals with many years of service would receive a free gift.
Thank you for this site and I love the articles, especially the 'Searching for the Lost Sons.'
September 24, 2013
I can't tell how much your site means to me, and the encouragement to make Christ my own by a patient. I am a Nurse who works out of [a local hospital] but I often [visit another local hospital] when someone is not available and I’ve had the pleasure of talking spiritual things with him and then telling my family when I get home. It means a lot to them as well. The Bringing Heaven Down has enlarged my thoughts as to the love and mercy of God and I feel it’s the way we should live in the hopes that all repent and seek no one’s destruction. And the "Defending" article turned my stomach. That "if it ain’t broke, you try to break it" line of thinking really (sucks) is bad. I’m still digesting the "Perfect Will Of God" to see where I’m able to make changes in my thinking, to free myself of the so called "norm." So on behalf of my family, thank you for the courage to step out of the Matrix and give a fresh look at [Jehovah’s Witnesses] and religion in general. God Bless.
September 21, 2013
I am so pleased to see this site and read the articles herein. I've studied the [Watchtower Bible & Tract Society] for some time and have been impressed with the [Jehovah’s Witnesses] understanding of the faith, the literature, the door to door ministry and the love and fellowship you all share. But the official doctrine of two classes of Christians with different privileges, etc., so offended my understanding of Christianity that I have avoided becoming a Witness because I have felt that I would have to take upon myself a second class status in the household of faith. I pray and hope that the organizations understanding of this will change and all the brothers and sisters will be recognized as this "sons" of God. If this was to happen I would join the [Watchtower Society] tomorrow and accept a part in the preaching work. May Jehovah God bless this work of yours.
September 18, 2013
Thank you thank you !!! Wonderful spoken letter!!!!!! [Open Letter 9/18/13] I miss so many of my brothers/sisters. I regret at times my hasty disassociation. My heart has been hurting/rather in a turmoil, but finding your site is a Blessing!!! I just wanted to hug Jesus. To be with him since I was a child... Lost sheep but recovering because of u!!!!! Bless you.
September 18, 2013
Hello my dear sister, and it brings me joy being able to say "my sister." The reason for this note is to provide encouragement for any straddling the fence as to giving oneself totally to God. So because we as a family starting reading and discussing the articles, the love grew so fast it started with me, then my wife, then my 2 sisters, then to my mother-in-law. From her to 2 employees at her job, then my uncle and his wife. This would be great if this was done during a lifetime. But because of the way the articles were written, it appealed to our spirit and not our intellect. It moved us to action to the point that this past Saturday, September 14th at 2:45 pm, we got together, all of us, to do some reading, ya know, to encourage each other. So my wife said “What Prevents Us right now from getting baptized?” We all looked at the pool and said “Let’s go for it.” We went to get some shorts and swim suits and each one took turns going in a circle, each one baptizing a different person. We got so caught up in the spirit that each of us ended up getting dunked 3 times. Oh dear friends, no matter where you are in your years, months or minutes in your love for God, it might be good to reexamine your own dedication and ask yourself this question: "Did I get baptized into Christ or an Association, into the Kingdom of the Heavens or to the earthly make-believe kingdom?” We’re just getting started, so stay tuned because we have so much more to do!
September 17, 2013
Evening Dear Friends, this is a note filled with words from the heart. It has touched our entire families lives in such a profound way, every article, each of the least of our brothers recovering from addictions, each of the [Questions and Responses] have opened a gateway to a reality that has in a positive way affected my wife, my two sisters, my mother-in-law, and her boss at the Bank. I mean no disrespect to [Jehovah’s Witnesses], but I think you’re wrong when you say "in the truth." My family re-discovered Jesus and we gladly eat and drink Jesus, so I believe now that the truth is in us who partake. I believe the kind and gentle brother who is a patient where I work that his sickness was for him to reconcile the sick and give hope to the hopeless. WE ARE FOREVER THANKFUL on earth now and in heaven later.
September 17, 2013
Bringing Down Heaven is awesome. It should speak to every disciple of Christ. You blew my mind with the new take on Jonah. It sounds crazy, but preachers would be pissed if the great war gets cancelled. I guess it shows just how twisted we are as human beings. If you get a chance roll by [our home] so we can pick your brain. Great writing!
September 16, 2013
You made my day, week, month. I’m so grateful for the mercy of God to have blessed me with fresh words of truth spoken from the heart. I mean you could feel the excitement coming from the representative from the site. Now that I’ve read the "Bringing Down Heaven" series, I must admit this is revolutionary material. It’s its like "Jesus 2.0." I’m going to run this info by my Pastor tomorrow to get his take on the article and the rest of the site and tell him about this really sincere holy man. And trust me, I don’t throw those types of praises around very often if at all. Oh and I’ve got to read the "Truth" series as well. May our efforts be blessed in changing the world.
September 16, 2013
The article about our courageous brothers 'Defending Our Living Hope' was so encouraging and inspiring. The spirit of truth is in full action and the powerful mustard seed has sprouted into a mighty tree. To the brothers in the Reno congregation and to all anointed brothers, ‘may the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, continue to give you a spirit of wisdom'. Continue 'rejoicing in the Lord' because "the sufferings of the present season do not amount to anything in comparison with the glory that is going to be revealed in us." (Rom 8:18) Thank you at AnointedJW.org for writing all the spiritually uplifting articles that have helped so many come to recognize their sonship, myself included. May God continue to bless your ministry. Above all, 'thanks to God the Father through the Lord Jesus'.
September 15, 2013
Evening AnointedJW, I write you to thank you for the fine encouragement my son Trevor was given. He suffered so much pain for weeks now after my home caught fire and the babysitter and my son were burnt pretty bad. My son is 16 and just having a hard time coping. But the kind words from another patient made his night. The man was funny, yet deep. He talked of how feeling good in your spirit can do wonders as to how people see you and just know this is no accident, your heavenly Father loves you. And the Man said that he told my son “When you have doubts, pray to God for help and then talk to your mom cause there is no medicine like that of a mother. What may also help you worked wonders for a little girl who had burns like yours and that is to smile.” AnointedJW you gave my son back to me, praise God. I will never forget the kindness and I'll be sure to tell every living soul about your website. Thank you.
September 15, 2013
[Follow up to Defending Our Living Hope] Hi brothers, I wanna share with you what happened when I was questioned by the Bethel brothers. They said "My you are a young one. I can’t recall someone partaking at such an early age of life." Then I told him "If you know what is right and you fail to do it, it’s a sin, and you wouldn’t want to knowingly sin would you?" “No” the brother said. “So if you realize a truth, you act upon it and even children 13 or younger can come to have an understanding of the plain and open teachings of Jesus message of the Kingdom. And we all are blessed to have an invitation to join him and I’m convinced this is God’s will for me and you brother." After that he said "I am speechless. I must say I’ve never heard an adult explain their hope so well." Then he left shaking his head. Me and my other friends share our hope at school with joy. Thank you friends for a blessing site.
September 15, 2013
Good Morning, I want you to know I’m in love with your site. Every single thing about it I just love, and I’m so ready to commit my life to proclaiming from the mountain tops the Kingdom of the heavens. This is truly the intent of the ministry of Jesus to open the minds and soften the hearts of his people and your site seems to be doing the same exact thing. Your site is and will be a force to be reckoned with. Yes it was love at first "site" and I’m not alone. I’m a nurse but I was visiting a sister from the same congregation. While visiting, I overheard a man speaking just like the site, needless to say my attention left the poor sister and was glued to the "Reality of the Spirit of Truth." And even though I didn’t interrupt, it was as if spirit was bearing witness that this is the will of the Father and not that of men. Plain and open teachings have no hidden agenda. It is what it seems to be and that's to draw all men to the Christ to eventually be with him in his Kingdom, but in the meantime share the earth as brothers.
September 14, 2013
Thank you so much for your website!
September 14, 2013
Hello brothers and sisters, I met a man that should have a Mega Church somewhere. The way he speaks about the Kingdom in such a real way it reaches into your soul. He referred me to the “Contemplations” and the "Worship with Spirit and Truth" and “The Spiritual Equality for Women" And from what I’ve gathered from this information is that heaven is really a huge school where men and woman having no gender issues work as one. I have some female friends who need to read these articles real bad so they can stand a little taller. If he changes his mind about the church, sign me and my sister up. God bless this Good News.
September 14, 2013
I see changes in my brother and his wife and my other sister. They all rave over this site, so I’m, I guess, joining in on the fun. I’ve got a lot of articles to go over but the "Truth series” and the new one "Bringing Heaven Down" grab me and won’t let go. [My brother] says that the patient representative is a wonderful Man of God. If that’s true, this world could sure use you. So thank you for opening hearts and minds and words that touch the spirit.
September 14, 2013
Hello brothers and sisters, I've just read your Defending Our Living Hope and WOW! When we had our '[Jehovah’s Witness] Bible study (40 years ago), my wife and I asked the usual questions that concern us all. When it came to actually listening to what Jesus said, our study conductor would regularly say, "oh that meaning or message is directed towards the 144,000 or selected ones, we just get the benefits." This was always a problem for me because even back then I realized what Jesus said was for ALL of the human race and not just for a select few! Listening to the experiences of the quoted congregation/s in this Defending Our Living Hope, has opened up a whole new ball game for us in that NOW we can read the Bible and actually take into our hearts exactly what Jesus was saying is for us personally and for all of the human race! We thank you again so much.
September 13, 2013
[From an elder] My dear brother and sister in Christ, I'd like to thank you for your support in the article in Defending Our Living Hope. And I can tell you this, when speaking to one of the brothers from Bethel, he was so close to agreeing with the plain and open teachings of Jesus. He said "Imagine if the entire association were partakers. I wonder if this could be done this well the world over, because there is a harmony between this group and the groups in Texas, Florida and Michigan. They’re not as versed but very focused on ministry. And they are a little smaller, they average about 110 to 130 respectively." Dear friends, you fire starters have the blessings of the Father and the Kingdom Midus touch. I'll continue to update you as things develop.
September 13, 2013
Thank you brothers. I enjoyed the Defending Our Living Hope article that you released today, very up building.
September 13, 2013
All of the patients on 4th Floor East [of a local hospital] wanted me to tell you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And trust me, they made me say it 3 times. Some of them as you saw have less time than others, but more than ever they have hope, hope in the real life. [A certain patient] really hopes the Revelation destruction will not happen, and they felt joy for the ones they leave behind. THANKS MR MAN. God bless you both.
September 13, 2013
Hey Friends, I'd like to say to you, the primary writer of these beautiful articles, Bringing Heaven Down is so good and so needed. We're sitting here shaking our heads just thinking of the possibility of changing the ending, doing as [your brother] calls it, "the rewrite." Speaking of [him], he must have felt our spirit because we hadn’t seen him in a while now, but he said a prayer for us all and then left. Keep this series going please, it seems each article builds on the previous one and we love that it’s like a suspense novel. Hey thanks for showing us and many others Jesus, and Jesus explaining the Father.
September 13, 2013
Bless You All! The Bringing Heaven Down series is perfection. I have been in spiritual pain for 20 years. and I am so grateful for your website. It has changed my life. I share it with everyone I know, and some I don't. I was baptized as a [Jehovah’s Witness] in 1986, I was raised somewhat in that religion. But my spirit was broken by 1988 as I was told many times that I could not be anointed despite the fact I could FEEL it so strong. I told my family and friends over and over again that I just knew I was going to heaven. And of course I got the response, there is no way you are not good enough. Well your site has finally put every piece of the puzzle together for me, and now I rejoice. If I could hug you I most definitely would so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I know that our heavenly Father and his son Christ Jesus are with you. Stay true to your mission and I will be doing all I can to spread the good news of the kingdom to anyone who will listen. Your Sister in the Faith.
September 12, 2013
We are growing in spirit and there is nothing more important. I’m glad to have stopped and paused to catch my breath to see what I almost missed out on with religion pulling you in and out, up and down. Then that craziness led me down other dark paths. Then while I was coming back home from a movie, I remembered this site from over a year ago, and since two weeks ago I’m a baptized follower of Christ Jesus. The Truth Series clinched it for me, so a pastor friend of mine came over and me and my daughter were baptized together. She's 12 and loves the Contemplations series. So thank you for saving me so I can be here for her and start doing some ministry.
September 12, 2013
Good Afternoon Anointed Ones. My brother works at [a local hospital]. He told me, no he promised me, that your site would change my thinking about God, religion and teachings of Jesus. And in all 3, he was right. This is nothing like the garbage out there on the net. The Perfect Will of God is really nice and I’m going to see if I can do my best and do what’s right according to my own circumstances. It’s my turn to pass this beautiful message forward. God bless you and the site.
September 12, 2013
Hello brother and sister. I have got to hand it to you both for your getting things started in awakening the true 1st century love and bringing it into a modern world (pun intended). Bringing Heaven Down has our hearts so hopeful. The possibility alone is worth getting out there with the plain and open teachings and helping those lost in the teachings written or oral by men and to reconcile these lost souls to God. If Jonah could do it, we can soften Jehovah's face. 10 of us are out eating lunch discussing a plan of attack so we won’t be striking the air. Just had to tell you both, great job from the crew here. To our brothers around the world, keep fighting the fine fight.
September 11, 2013
Hi, I spoke with someone and he turned me on to this site, and I’ve read some of your recent articles and what stands out and is very clear is that this is what should be taught in church because this is much more detailed in each subject matter. Bringing Heaven Down is a pearl of high value. God be with you and believe me I will be back!
September 10, 2013
Very nice website. Hi, I’m a nurse at the hospital and I’ve been blessed this morning to have had a chance to talk to a really encouraging patient who spoke so kindly about the Kingdom and he told me about the site and this must be the best kept secret on earth. This is DEEP but still easy to follow. I read the article The Reality of the Spirit of Truth and it is powerful. I know myself that trusting the teachings of man can break your heart and you can lose your own identity because it becomes about the preacher but with believing and trusting the guidance of Jesus in the form of the spirit of truth helps us to know real truth. I’m going to read the latest article next, he said it would open your mind and spirit to new possibilities. I feel so blessed, its been hard to think about my job. God be with you all.
September 9, 2013
[From an Elder] Good Evening Brother and Sister, I’m a friend and spiritual brother of [another elder]. I have been keeping up with your site for about 10 months, and I want every brother of every faith to read the beautiful articles of fairness, mercy, tolerance and love. We stand as one with you friends in talking openly about Jesus and the invitation to the Kingdom of the heavens. The bringing heaven down articles sealed the deal for me. Those two articles show to me the depth of Jehovah's mercy and forgiveness. [The other elder] is up North right now but he sends his love and thanks for you two. And speaking of you two, its got to be Jehovah's will for you to have done so much in such a short time WOW. Take great care dear friends.
September 8, 2013
Your work that you are doing is truly a great blessing for the brothers and my prayer as yours is that the fear will give way to seeing the great opportunity that can be done by [Jehovah’s Witnesses] in really helping to bring about the Brotherhood of Mankind and the Fatherhood of God. Your work is truly...A Blessing, From the Divine...OH!.. How you do SHINE!!! We will meet, if not now in Eternity.
September 7, 2013
Good Morning Friends, my dear husband came home yesterday as if God told him the day and the hour of the End. I was worried at first but when he showed me why, it was very clear and I could understand why, your writing has a certain way about it that is so unendingly hopeful. I read the "Bringing Heaven Down" articles and the possibility presented should be cherished by lovers of Jehovah and Jesus. Now it’s my turn to share my excitement with someone else about your inspired writings. May Jehovah bless the work you do for his Name. And thank you whomever it was to introduce this to us.
September 6, 2013
Hello and thank you for your informative reply. I felt you were trying to illuminate the already existing organization, and reading some of your ministerial letters was very encouraging and for what it's worth, you have my blessings, and prayers for all the work you are undertaking. Blessings in you and your partner.
September 6, 2013
I APPRECIATE YOU MY BROTHER! I have seen the LIGHT! I was shaking when I got in my car and I'll say it again, I have seen the LIGHT! The articles "Lastly He Sent His Son" and "The Reality of the Spirit of Truth" really blew me away its concise message. If you place yourself either in the 1st century or if you truly believe Christ is in the ministry with you, what would be your message? wowzie wow wow. I can’t wait to share the info with a select few I have in mind. Jeepers, my wife has been leaning toward the fact that as she puts it "baby something’s missing, the pieces ain’t fitting." So she will be thrilled. Thank you dear brother and I’m sorry to have met like this, but please get well real soon.
September 6, 2013
[From the staff at a local hospital] We as a family of nurses and doctors, caregivers and members of the Administration all send greetings and best wishes for a true and beautiful spiritual Child of God. It is by your giving spirit that has changed many of us who thought we were doing well in our care, boy were we wrong! We have become much more real in our service to patients and also the entire staff has shown a kind of upgraded love for our responsibilities. So we thank the writer as well as our patient for ministering to us.
September 6, 2013
Hello again, I went to do my round for the morning breakfast but he was in no condition to say anything. But he stopped while on the way to some treatment and wrote "whatever you can do for the sake of the heavens by all means do it for yourself and for those you love," which I thought was really interesting because I wanted to tell him that "What Prevents Me?" has really inspired me and my wife so deeply that we look forward to getting baptized real soon. So if you would please let him know we are totally for Christ's Kingdom. God Bless and thank you truly for helping us.
September 5, 2013
I read the "Bringing Heaven Down." What a hopeful turn about if we can pull it off. Less dead and more folks living right. You can’t beat that deal no where no how. God bless and I like your site.

Bringing Down Heaven is so refreshing, so hopeful. I just can't tell you how much I hope and how much I want to have a share in making it possible. I asked the question to a brother whether he would welcome such a mass repentance. He said he would but not with much conviction, as if it would mean that we've wasted our time all these years. So I said, yeah but what about all the repentance, isn’t that what it’s all about? He said, keep dreaming pal. So no matter what some may say, I for one believe it to be a wonderful possibility. God be with you friends.

Hi brothers, I’m no doctor or nurse. I work in the cafeteria at [a local hospital] and I just would like to thank the patient for his encouragement not to give up in my faith just because of the hypocrisy of preachers’ misuse of power and scripture. It’s been difficult to say the least so what me and my wife do is to worship at home and give any time we have to helping the homeless and that seems to be working for us. We study hard your articles and we love the way you make Christ teachings number 1 always. So thank you much and the "Bringing Down Heaven" series is mind opening for sure, just love it. God bless you and the site.

Hello again friends, I just wanted to tell you that Training Our Perceptive Powers broadens the need for the individuals to gain more control as to how we process information using one’s own intellect and then not having a spirit of fear, so being willing to honestly express what we perceive to be true or false, right or wrong. Excellent article. I hope the brother gets the sense of the article you have prepared so wonderfully. God bless and good health to all.

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Hello brothers and sisters, I’m going to keep this really short. I want all lovers of what Jesus did for us in revealing his as well as our heavenly Father’s intent for his earthly children to read intently the not one but both articles back to back [Bringing Heaven Down – Turning Back Destruction and Training Our Perceptive Powers] and if you’re honest with the spirit within you, your conclusion will be one of compassion as opposed to condemnation. Great article!!!
September 2, 2013
[From an Elder] Good Evening Faith Children, both articles on the Bringing Heaven Down [Turning Back Destruction and Training Our Perceptive Powers] really speaks to the very heart of the mindset of today. I love the honesty of your delivery, you write without the fear of men but the love of Christ is evident. Parables and Prophecy, do you realize just how many of today’s religions are founded on those two elements of scripture? I also agree with the message of love not fear, “hurry get on board the end is near” which is code for "come join us so we may show ourselves mighty.” Bravo friends, another one knocked out of the park, God the Father be with your spirit and may he bless your efforts in spreading the love of Christ Jesus.

Good Morning, AnointedJW, I met a incredible soul that talked about the Kingdom with passion and poise. So before commenting on your site, I wanted to get a grasp of your thought process. And I’m so pleased at the positive attitude you have in each article and especially with your latest posted article [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction]. It has been discussed in a positive as well as hopeful way instead of the all out doom and gloom that would ensue if we don’t turn back from our ways. Well done to the authors. I look forward to reading the future articles in the series and I'd like to publicly say that if the patient ever decides to open a church, count myself and a few others I’ve spoken to that'll be all ears. May God continue to use your site for the greater good for the sake of the Kingdom.

[From the sister who did not think she was going to live until to see the 2013 Memorial] My heart wells up as my eyes tear up on just the unimagined possibility of earth repenting [in Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction] and as you say listen and obey the plain and open teachings. I thank God for my cancer because it saved my life before it takes my life. I’m back in the hospital because I’m becoming weak and more forgetful, but if this is finally my time, oh how I look forward in seeing my invisible family and being with the Christ. I know my friend forever, you’re going to read this and I want you to know because God used you to heal my broken spirit, I’ve used the time wisely helping more people in these few months than I did in my previous 44 years. Keep writing dear sister, and Mr. Godsend you do what you do. God bless you all.
September 1, 2013
[From Greece] Hello brothers, I'm really impressed with the last article [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction]. You wrote thoughts that me and some others brothers and friends of mine, believe. But unfortunately we speak about that only in closed doors. Our organization make flag that as the Noah's days, will the end in our days. I couldn't never understood this. Why is necessary all the earth flood in blood? Why all these billion peoples must die in violence way? And the worst is that ''we are happy'' about that? Before few weeks, an elder in our congregation, note that point so powerful and with joy that really I’m afraid about his mental situation. We are terror-mongering in this point and this is not healthy. We feel ''joy'' with the death so many people? This is not healthy!! Thanks to your article, I know now that we are not alone, as I said in previous message. Keep going the good effort. We will stand beside to you.

[From Mexico] Hello my spiritual family, regarding [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction] we need all the time we can get. Because of the slow but steady change here in Mexico with my family and friends, we are taking full advantage of the mercy of the Father. My oldest son said "Dad that would be great if God calls off the big war, then I can help more people." So you can tell were eating the thought of the possibility up. Hey my dear friend, I just know you’re going to be around to help us for many years to come, and to the wonderful writer, may the Father continue using the spirit within you.
August 31, 2013
Once again you hit the nail on the head with [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction]. The reason that no one knows the day or the hour is because God has not yet decided. How could anyone know something not yet decided? Please stay strong and continue.
August 31, 2013
[From a former Elder] Greetings Brothers in Christ [regarding Bringing Heaven Down -Turning Back Destruction], we love the positive outlook that we should have in ministry. Even if it’s an illustrative or literal destruction in Revelation, it should be the aim of Christ brothers to preach the saving message of the Heavenly Kingdom by becoming partakers of Jesus. Jonah is a powerful example of man’s ability to affect his own outcome. If only our association of brothers would turn back to what Jesus taught, just imagine what kind of harmony we could create in our communities. Great job on this one here, my brother and sister. I’m going to finish my pancakes. All the friends here with the body of elders at the [restaurant] are giving two thumbs up for this article. May the tender mercies of our Lord be abundantly upon you both and all heirs of the Kingdom.
August 30, 2013
Hey you two, it would be a wonderful blessing to have the ability to change the historic prophecy that since coined mankind with gnashing teeth have wondered, is this the generation that witnesses unfathomable death and destruction. I’ve pondered before why the scenario had to be recorded to prompt us to action to see a warning and turn back, and if we don’t get it together then the next generation will lay claim to being the worst generation ever. Turn your attention to the Christ and his Kingdom.
August 30, 2013
Hello guys, this is so positive [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction].Oh how I’m enjoying just the possibilities. You raise a great point about foregone conclusions in that all societies are given a choice, blessing or malediction, destruction or repentance, and if the destruction is unchangeable in Revelation, our generation would be the first where even if we wanted to, it’s a done deal. Kinda scary to think we never had a glad tiding period of service, then if they didn’t listen, then change to a denunciation message. Oh well, that the earth’s problem, I’m going to heaven!
August 30, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Evening Brother and Sister, I was just looking at an article and saw the new one [Bringing Heaven Down - Turning Back Destruction]. It is food for thought and it gives hope just as you mentioned concerning the ministry of Jonah. I believe you have a valid point, now whether or not the association puts on their spiritual thinking caps is another subject. Here is what I personally get from this point of view you present. We should be preaching with the purpose of turning back the anger and wrath of Jehovah rather than looking forward to it. If you really care for those in the field, the prayer should be for more time not hurry up and end this thing so I can have a better life. Like I mentioned, food for thought for lovers of Christ and worshipers of Jehovah to at least attempt to soften the face of our Loving Father. You friends keep opening our collective hearts. I respect you friends very much.
August 29, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings brothers and sisters, this is a note just of the profound attitude and temperament of the entire site. It speaks very endearingly and passionate toward our savior and that's what warms my heart. Does it stay in harmony on all points with the Slave, no it doesn’t, but at the same time one of the more important points of Jesus teaching that is stressed is not to judge and to have more tolerance of our differences. And that principle has helped me and my wife to show more patience when teaching others and applying it even with our selves. So thank you and may the Father of the living bless your efforts.
August 29, 2013
[From an Elder] Hello dear friends and family, I with a few other brothers and sisters have been under the weather but we are still having such a good time in sharing the information contained in the articles. Lately the one we talk about is "The Reality of the Spirit of Truth" and it’s also one of [a former Circuit Overseer’s] favorites because it makes the spirit come off the written pages and made alive in our hearts when speaking about the spirit of truth, and helps us to feel more and more his "presence." And what's amazing is we really feel his guidance not only for us to find the sheep, but the sheep are finding us in some of the strangest, unlikely places like bathrooms, gas stations, watering the lawn. And it is trusting in the helper that makes the difference, so keep the encouraging spirited words coming. We love you both dearly and pray for you to continue faithfully and humbly listening to what the spirit says to you.
August 26, 2013
[From the nurse of the AIDS patient] Hello once again, I was told by one of the nurses that you wanted to thank me and I’ve got to be honest here, it is I who wants to thank you for giving the AIDS patient the grandest send off. The joy he felt and the peace that was on his face has changed my life for the better. And the passion [your brother] has for God is incredible. You know, it's funny how things happen in life. I have to now take a closer look at my own faith and I think I will learn a lot from your site. So once again, I’m blessed and of course Brother Marvin is blessed. Thank you so very much.
August 26, 2013
[From an Elder] Dear Brothers, I’m contacting you only to express how much a few of us, and growing, appreciate the outstanding truth contained in your writings. They have affected our lives for the better in that it has created in us a center to our core of beliefs. I’m an elder and have been a partaker for roughly 25 years. And my prayers for many a year has been to give me closure in my thought process regarding the "by extension" clause put in the Watchtower articles. And I must agree with your point of view or, more properly said, the Bible’s and Christ’s point of view, and I feel very strongly in faith that I should also step down now. When I mentioned my intent, the brothers said for me to ponder if this is truly what I want, and I said yes, yes, yes. Then I told them I love my Father in heaven and I have love for all of his children, but in my spirit as a partaker of the riches of heaven, I’ve grown tired of the things of the earth and have grown tired of talking about the earth. This is why your site must continue for both young and old.
August 25, 2013
[From a nurse for the brother with AIDS] Hello, this is to let you know that Brother Marvin, as he wanted to be called by the staff and doctors, has passed on, but don’t let that be the story, not at all. His spirit totally changed this last week. I mean totally. He smiled and laughed and kept telling everybody "I’m going home to heaven." So please let his last thoughts help others. God Bless you.
August 22, 2013
[From a brother with AIDS] Hi, it’s hard to see, but thank you for being made significant in this world and I look forward to doing better and bigger things in heaven. Thank you for being there for the least of the least of Christ brothers. I will see ya when you get there.
August 21, 2013
Hello what a nice experience with the AIDS patient. That’s so sad but we’re glad he was able to have the heavenly hope. I know one thing, the Contemplation series is so, so beautiful. Thank you both for helping me and my friends to get serious about the Kingdom.
August 20, 2013
Your work is brave and greatly appreciated.
August 20, 2013
[From a brother with AIDS] Good evening, I just talked to a man of the real God. I just want to thank him again while I can, you see, I won’t make it to Friday, but I’m sure I will be in heaven. I know I look and smell bad because of the sores, yes child, I have AIDS and have been abandoned by everyone. But this stranger did something that put faith back in me. He gave me a hug. Before I start crying again, bless you Mr. Man of God. Thank you.
August 19, 2013
Hi, I promised a patient that I'd take a peep at the site and the peep has turned into 40 minutes. Funny, he said exactly what I was going to do. Even down to what I’m writing now in this email, so why change now. So let me say what I’ve read is so refreshing. It really is good news for a change. The Spiritual Equality article and the Reality of the Spirit of Truth and The Other Side of Faith. I'll have to get to the latest ones tomorrow. I just hate that for someone I don’t know who knew me better than me. God bless your work.
August 19, 2013
This is the one, I think! 8 out of 10 friends now say the article [Relative Subjection to Religious Authority] is now the one to surpass. No really guys, awesome work, I mean WOW.
August 19, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Dear brothers in Christ, what a powerful [Open Letter to Governing Body 8/19/13]. It was seasoned really well. The article on "Relative Subjection to Religious Authority" should be broadcast on the Goodyear blimp so the world can read it as one united people. The absolute and relative, that's putting things in the proper order. We have to own up to our faith and if this position was taken where the [Governing Body] suggests that each person should exercise to build up faith and only if you need help with something that they present suggestions, but not rules and dogma. I so love the family of Witnesses and just like most families on earth can be awfully dysfunctional. But as Jehovah is patient with us so should we have this same mental attitude. Keep doing the fair and merciful ministry. Blessings to you both.
August 19, 2013
What a wonderful article [Relative Subjection to Religious Authority]. Keep up, you do great job, your article encouraged me.
August 18, 2013
Hi, so happy to have been introduced to your site by a friend. I see you have done so many good works and I appreciate your teaching on the Kingdom of the Heavens. I believe 100% in the Spiritual Equality for Women article. God is not partial the Bible says and besides that, it just makes sense in these modern days. So, thank God there is a website I can visit that's positive.
August 18, 2013
The Plain and Open Teachings was a marvelous article. You're correct in pointing out the disservice we as [Jehovah’s Witnesses] do to one another when we forget our real Christian priorities and judge others. Since discovering this website, I have felt so alone at meetings at the Kingdom Hall.
On the various eschatology's that you write about, I personally am beginning to realize that the contextual considerations of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 do not allow an application beyond the destruction of Jerusalem. You may or may not agree, but Jesus did bundle the sign of the temple's 'end' and his 'presence' into one prophecy, not two as though they were distinct events separated by thousands of years.
Therefore, some have concluded that Christ must have been invisibly present during and since the destruction of Jerusalem, which makes perfect sense. It was proof that the age of his kingdom had arrived and the gathering of the sons of the kingdom would be ongoing, albeit not the return and rapture that many had expected. With Jesus' promise that he would be in their midst, early followers could enter the reality of the kingdom here and now by seeking the spirit of truth, visions, revelations, insights, and even conversations with Christ after his ascension. It is evident that you, too, have this spirit of God thanks to the reality of God's kingdom. This is an exciting development in the organization, but, it is discouraging that much of this information falls on arrogant and deaf ears. The 2013 convention programs continue to dramatize an earthly resurrection.
August 17, 2013
[From an Elder] Hello and Good Evening to you both, there is a lot going on in this country and abroad. So many are standing up displaying real faith and courage you discribe in the "The Other Side of Faith." Some of them, brothers and sisters, are undergoing hardships not from the outside but from those whom you once called friends. But it hasn’t made their knee give out from fear and they have not stopped proclaiming the Good News about the Kingdom of the heavens. And we all have started studies from our jobs and here's the difference, sometimes we allow them to conduct the hour learning session and now it feel like an "interchange of encouragement." And we have found that the Brotherhood Section unleashes or unlocks the doors to true salvation. Dear friends it works if you give it a chance. So keep the articles coming, we love you.
August 17, 2013
Hello once again, these are the kind of articles that give you that love you had at first feeling when I read "The Faith of Jesus" and "Spiritual Equality for Women" and I know it’s not the season for it but also "Remembrance." It moved me and several others, what we did was sat out by the pool and read an article taking turns reading and what was supposed to be an hour turned into 3 hours and counting, were going to contemplate in a few. You guys are amazing! Jehovah is working with you.
August 16, 2013
Greetings family, things are jumping here in sin city [Las Vegas, Nevada]. It seems that a growing number of people are coming out of the blue asking me about the kingdom and partaking. I tell them that everything you've ever wanted to know regarding the heavenly hope, to look at AnointedJW.org and to a person they are going “wow this is incredible, I’ve never looked at the Christian writings in this way before.” And what’s so funny is out of 16 people, everybody had a different favorite article. Hey for me I stopped trying to pick because of articles like "The Other Side of Faith." So you two stay in the kitchen because these guys and gals were starving. May Jehovah bless you both and all the sons.
August 16, 2013
God Bless You AnointedJW. I had wanted for months to talk to this wonderful man of God but I didn’t want to disturb him as a patient and all, but I’m glad I was able to talk to him. You see I have relatives all over the globe that are Witnesses. I studied for years but just could not take the last step in getting baptized. They dominate the lives of all my family and I can see why the brothers in Bethel should be very afraid of the liberating website you have. The article "Spiritual Equality for Women" might have given them all a heart attack. The type of freedom of the sons of God have is something worth dedicating and partaking. I read "Does this Stumble You?" It helped me to really open my eyes to the seriousness of partaking, so count me in. I’m hoping to take the plunge next weekend with a couple of friends because we want IN. So best wishes on recovering and I hope your site grabs hold to the whole association. God Bless and thank you.
August 15, 2013
Hi family, I wanted to let those with jobs where they are stationary, it may help some if they speak to workmates as friends and family because we spend so much of our days with the same people. So what has worked for me is do your homework before going to work and when I say prepare before hand, I mean look intently into the mirror and talk about any and everything kingdom with excitement. You must be the living scripture or article, and then walk the walk after you have talked the talked because your workmates are watching you, trust me they are. Be real just as Jesus was with the people in his day and truly listen to people. And most of all you must care about the salvation of the person. Oh I almost forgot folks, it’s ok to agree with their point of view. Sometimes we as witnesses want to control the conversation regardless of what they say. But you'll realize what you have in common, that can springboard into something special. I hope this helps is some way. Love you guys.
August 15, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Hello once again. It’s amazing the impact your articles have on the mind and spirit. It’s like you may not understand it all or agree with a point or two but you never forget what you take in. For example myself I’m not a partaker on the evening meal but because of the proof in scripture you provide, I’ve at least opened the door to the possibility as I move forward, and that’s what [New York Headquarters] is afraid of. Keep bringing the plain and open teachings friends, and let the spirit of truth as you say "do its work."
August 14, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Hello dear friends, I’ve been so busy with the Convention responsibilities, I haven’t had a chance to tell how interesting your latest article was for me, [The Other Side of Faith]. It was pointed and covered many thought provoking issues that should give all who serve Jehovah reason to pause and look into the mirror and ask ourselves, when push comes to shove and it will come, what do I truly believe. Because as I’ve seen, and you no doubt have also seen, those who do things "just because" and it’s the "just because" Christians that end up falling away or never really progressing. I’ve not mentioned the site by name but I had some very open frank discussions with various ones who serve in [New York Headquarters]. I asked, if you left prophecy out and just had the gospel accounts would you believe heaven is the Christian hope. All said “sure.” So that is why my thinking is this from now on when a brother or sister says they have the heavenly hope, I’m going to be much more supportive. Hey gotta go, but you friends keep serving and adding something to the banquet of Jehovah.
August 14, 2013
I’m a cancer patient at [a hospital]. I met through my Doctor a Godsend. He spoke of heaven that brought me to tears of joy because, you see, I have not long on the earth. I’ve been given from a week or two before I’m in heaven. I just wanted to thank you for the Heavenly Hope Contemplations because until I meet my end, I have positive thoughts about so many beautiful pictures inside me now. Please let the angel know how much this has meant to me.
August 13, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Greetings Dear Friends, I just wanted to tell you that your latest work "The Other Side of Faith" settled well in my spirit and it was so encouraging and well received by the friends. Courage to speak and act on YOUR faith is something that many of our brothers will find very hard to do, but we are going to put forth the effort to get it done. A few of us visit Nursing homes to bring the good news, just taking our Bibles and sometimes we never open them because we just talk as one human to another, and you should see the joy in their eyes. These are in many ways the forgotten, likewise the homeless we also talk to about Christ and never discussing anything about being homeless because we're there to give back their dignity with the good news. We all send our prayers of thanks to the Father and Son, and for the entire Brotherhood of Partakers of the Kingdom. God bless you both.
August 12, 2013
Hello Hello Hello my life changing friends. How I miss you [my brother] but at least I have the wonderful articles with your one or two cents added. I know you must be driving folks in the hospital mad by now and If I know you, you’re preaching and finding people living under rocks. But I can’t complain. You've got all of us doing the same thing, talking about the grand future of the heavens and my daughters have really become so grateful for the website. We live life as we explain in church that when you’re free as a son you become closer to others because you care about their everlasting welfare. So, thank you from all of us to all of you. We love you forever and dial me up when we get settled and find a little place in heaven.
August 11, 2013
Good Morning Anointed brothers in Christ, I’m not a [Jehovah’s Witness] but I have relatives who are and I studied some years ago and was almost at the point of baptism, but I just felt restricted in my ability to express myself. I read over the last week the entire "Brotherhood" section and it left me breathless on so much declaring us sons and that was one of my biggest issues with my study conductor. I mean she brought elder after elder to try to readjust my thinking. So you see why I say "restricted." I don’t want people to get me wrong, they are nice and all that but when I say hello to death, I really believe I will be with Jesus, Jesus turned the page and gave us the real deal with his teaching. So in closing [JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES] WOULD YOU PLEASE TURN THE PAGE! God bless you and the ministry, it’s positive and I enjoy that.
August 10, 2013
Hey family I’ve been reading some of the [Questions and Responses] lately and I believe the divisions in the households are due to not having real truth. And what happens is if one person in the home wakes up to the plain teachings of Jesus, you will have a major conflict of interest in the home because somebody went out and bought a new wineskin to put their wine and they stopped using the old and the family says "what’s the matter with the old one it’s been serving us well all these years." I’m no writer but I believe you get the point my friends. I just wanna say from one who has been there with my daughters to not give the teachings of Jesus up for nobody or nothing. At some point if we want an earth like heaven it starts with each of us. Don’t forsake the Christ. Well let me stop there, it just gets to me when are brothers don’t understand how wonderful the spirit of truth is. Love you folks for making and keeping it truly real and authentic.
August 8, 2013
[From a Pastor] Brothers in Christ, a young man told me about the teachings of the Lord that are explained with boldness and have brought many to the Lord. So I wanted to see for myself the outstanding articles and after reading many from the Brotherhood Section, I’m really impressed with, as you say, the plain and open teachings. That coupled with the transformation that the young man [name omitted] has undergone. I’m not one to hoard the word of God so I will mention your website to the Congregation for their benefit and to help in guiding [Jehovah’s Witnesses] back to Christ and to the Glorious Heavens. Oh, by the way, I also loved the Contemplations series. It gives one something good to think about. God is so good, may He continue aiding your ministry.
August 7, 2013
[From an Elder] Hello dear fellow worker in Christ, I’m so glad you addressed the issue of field service and meeting attendance [in Question and Response 8/5/13]. We don’t have that problem here because we talk to everyone anywhere at anytime. But for those who are still confused, we hope with an everlasting love for righteousness sake that they along with us pray away any spirit of fear and use the mind of Christ in all matters of spirit. Let no man, woman or child snatch the divine torture stake from your heart, serve God as ruler rather than man. On another note dear friends, the sons of the Kingdom continue to grow and the friendships we've made in the community have blossomed into better neighborhoods because of our open way of communicating and walking in our faith. So whomever should read this note please get uncomfortable in your normal way and get into the spiritual way of the Christ. We love you brother and our awesome sister. Keep going and [a young brother] sends his love and greetings.
August 7, 2013
Good Day to you friends, I wanted to thank you for the latest [Question and Response 8/5/13]. It is so on point as to my feelings and struggles I’ve been having in going from door to door with the 2-hope, no that's not true, going door to door with the 1-hope theory of a Paradise earth. Not only that but the friends at the hall or at conventions never really talk spirit things. It’s all Organizational things, thinking they’re one in the same. So to the person who inspired the response "Hey brother you’re not alone." And I said a prayer for all those struggling to stay spiritually afloat to keeping fighting for the Christ and for what he taught us by means of the spirit he sent us. Your site by the way is truly great for the individual, it is encouraging and promotes freedom and courage and each of us needs these types of reminders. God be with you sons of the Kingdom.
August 7, 2013
Ím glad everything is ok with you and that you continue writing them articles of yours. Always a pleasure.
August 7, 2013
[Re: Converting Pauls into Sauls and The Plain and Open Teachings of Jesus.] Thank you soo much for the absolutely divine encouragement. It's not going to be long my brothers, Jehovah has a plan that extends pass the heavens. How fortunate that we are allowed to witness his glory. May we continue to uplift one another with loving and hopeful sayings, freely forgiving and swift to kindness. The Prince of Peace is returning. May Jehovah bless his people.
August 5, 2013
Hello Dear Brothers, a co-worker turned my attention to your website and said it’s a must read for all sincere lovers of Jehovah and his Christ, and she was so right. This is straight talk based on scripture, Organic truth. I’ve longed for someone else to feel so strongly about Christ’s teachings instead of man's sideshow of look at me kinda teaching, so thank you. The only preservatives in your articles is the staying power of Christ’s teachings, I'll be back for sure. Don’t change!!
August 4, 2013
[From a District Overseer] Good Evening fellow sons and servants of our Lord and Father Jehovah God. I’m quite new to your site, it being brought to my attention by a friend of many, many years of faithful service, [a former Circuit Overseer] with whom I had the pleasure of working along in the Circuit work and then when I began serving in the District work, we remained very close. I say these things to indicate just how much I respect and admire the brother and his wife. So when he spoke of sonship, and the spirit of truth in ways that were different from the teachings of [Jehovah’s Witnesses], I immediately took notice, so I inquired where he was getting these ideas, thus your website. And now after reading some, not all, of the articles, I can understand his excitement, you give glowing honor to the Christ and his salvational teachings. Disclaimer time, "I believe you’ve hit on something real with this site." So continue in the humble manner you have set forth. Now, Let me get back to The Plain and Open Teachings article.
August 3, 2013
Loving all of what you 2 have provided for us all here at Santa Monica College (in California) and how it has changed us for the better. We look out for each other more and we talk of heavenly life much more than we ever did. So thank you and please keep it going. God bless the brotherhood.

[From Greece] I just read your article ''Go About Doing Good.'' I always wondering why we [Jehovah’s Witnesses] don't help other people in their needs. We never helped other people in great catastrophes. We help only our members. In the last years I read that in some occasions we helped other people and we gave ''martyria'' to the others about Jehovah and his purpose. The point is not to give a preach about God, but to help people in their needs. In Greece, we face great economic crisis. Many thousands people are without job. The most of them eat from Greek Orthodox rations. Actually the Greek Church is the only well organized way to help these people. In this effort many people leave foods in specific places in the super markets for this purpose. Actually I leave foods too. Some elders ''hit'' me, when a brother saw me in the super market to leave foods there. They accused me to I support the Greek Church and we must have no relation with that. The only help is the hope of kingdom. I said that I'm trying to help some people in their need. If I had the opportunity I'd like to go as volunteer to these rations. Actually we stopped there. I believe that is time to look more sympathetic in peoples problems. If we want to be according Jesus words, we must help others in their needs. We are not alone in this world. There are not only our brothers, there are our neighbors, our coworkers, our local communities. We have to change that.

[From a former Circuit Overseer] Good Evening Brothers and Sisters, I’ve spent the last 2 days reading your articles along with my Bible in hand and for the most part I agree with the logic of your thought process. It is very humble and expresses a genuine love for your brothers and those who presently are taking the lead. I don’t know if we can turn the Titantic but maybe we can get some safely to shore by being spiritual life boats keeping the love of our Christ afloat. Endure brothers any trial that may arise due to the upward call. I ENCOURAGE ALL your readers to take another gander at the "Jesus In Your Midst." It brought tears to my eyes and quenched a hunger for the Christ in my spirit, but maybe that’s just my awakening. I love the class and respectful manner you present the truth as you perceive it and not dogmatic. So in Christ we remain united as one. May Jehovah bless your work and your labor of love.

Greetings dear friends and sons of the Heavenly Kingdom, I’m a mother of two beautiful God fearing children and I’m giving you this note now just to express gratitude for your honest approach to your articles. Me and my children have been following your site for about 8 months and our spiritual life has improved 200 fold. We have a relaxed urgency about our service. Relaxed because we now serve without the fear of men and their manmade teachings, the urgency comes from the enormous love we have for our brothers and the need for everyone to wake up to the true living hope. Thank you friends so much.

[From an Elder] Friends, hello and thank you so much for you well thought out articles and the latest is no different. And we are going to take the suggestion to heart in "Doing Good" to see if we can further expand our service and make it much more personal. The older ones and some of the younger partakers find the site refreshing to say the least. Your site stimulates our minds to think outside the box and the freeing aspect has drawn us closer to Jehovah because it helps us to appreciate the endless heavenly life we look forward to. So once again you have challenged us to expand and it is much needed and appreciated. Jehovah's hand is at your back!!
July 31, 2013
Hey you guys, I just read your lastest creation [Go About Doing Good] and it really moved me to do more outside of the setting of [Jehovah’s Witnesses] and to just be myself and let whatever light I have to just come out. Oh how I wish this was the spiritual norm in every home earth wide. Dear friend, through sickness and other trials we pray all the time for you and it’s beginning to be a pretty good number. God be with you my sister in Christ and keep on doing what you do Mr. Man.
July 31, 2013
[From an elder] Dear friends, just loved the latest article on "Doing Good." We of course, as you stated in the article, we are doing many thing outside the formal arrangement to reach the hearts and touch the spirit of the individual. So we hope and pray more get out, dress down, and get close to their neighbors in the community. Bless you friends.
July 30, 2013
Hello friends of God, I’m new to the site but I’m loving your concepts and ideas for improving the message of [Jehovah’s Witnesses] and your effort to raise the spiritual conversation as you indicate on you intro page. I too am a partaker and I hope that the [GOVERNING BODY] TAKES A FRESH LOOK at the common sense aspect of all Christians having the living hope of the heavenly life. So I’m with you on that issue for sure, so brothers and/or sisters may Jehovah The Great God and Father bless you and keep you pressing on.
July 29, 2013
Hello Brothers, I was so overjoyed to find your site and be able to pick the brain of one of the co-authors of the site, and I must say as a pioneer for 17 years and a Servant in the congregation, I was stunned at the amount of care and concern the brother has for patients and people in general. I’m a nurse over at [a local hospital] and I’ve been one of those laying in the weeds just checking him out, listening to him on the sly when talking to others, and yes he is the real deal and so are your outstanding articles. The "Plain and Open Teachings" blew my socks off. What a power house of information. Thank you for putting Christ Jesus up where he belongs at the front of the line! May God keep you friends going.

[From an elder] It was gratifying to hear of [your brother’s] recovery. This must bring both of you a great deal of joy. Especially being able to work as the dynamic duo. Your articles continue to shed forth light and reveal truth. You should feel great satisfaction in having a very unique website with so much positive fruitage. I commend you for so expertly and deftly introducing [the plain and open teachings.]
July 25, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Dear friends, with faith we here pray that this note finds all the sons of God in great spirit full of energy for service. Since not serving men any longer in circuit work, I’ve been able to really be all I can be. My only selfish regret is I didn’t get started until the ripe ole age of 64. But I’m so happy to be enjoying the freedom to speak to people the things of the spirit so now I’m conducting studies from the Bible, some of the site articles and just having open discussions. Dear wonderful brothers and sisters, I pray that we all may have the profound courage to boldly go forth to the most distant part of the earth to teach the things Christ taught his disciples. May our heavenly Father Jehovah bless you for your continued effort to dispense fine food at the right time.

Hey family, the article on Jonah was so informative and speaks volume as to each of our responsibilty to be faithful in our ministry, not pointing fingers but doing what the Father asks of each of his children to do as an individual. It was short but powerful, thank you for that. On a different note Mr. Man has been missed by staffs of Doctors, Nurses and patients. It’s a shame that the patient is the spark plug. lol God bless you guys, keep cooking up well oiled dishes of refreshment.

[From Greece] Hi, this is my first contact with people that I feel we believe the same things. Please forgive me, because of my English are not so good. I baptized when I was 13 years old. I believed very strong, that I have grown up in the truth and that everything I believed was true and given by Jehovah. I did nearly four years in prison for my refusal to accept military service. So far, I serve as ministerial servant. Two years ago, I submitted my resignation for employment purposes and which has not yet been accepted. Actually the elders refuse to release me from this. Of course employment purposes is not the real reason. The last four years, I have ideological problems in a series of issues. In eschatological prophecies, in the implementation of unacceptable process of disfellowshiping, which has dissolved many families of my acquaintance, but also to abuses of power and arrogance in the elders and other high ranking servants, also the arrogant position which some people take as God's representatives. In my country, we have a word ''ybris'' the most high level of arrogance. I love Jehovah and Jesus and what they representing, but here there is a mistake and this mistake has to do with human operation and violation of dignity of many brethren. I'm reading your articles and I found that I'm not alone. Thank you.
July 23, 2013
[From an elder] Hey dear friends, we are all Jonahs is stated so beautifully and it’s something we can use for ourselves and in the ministry. We are so happy to be united in purpose with you friends, let’s get the task at hand done in honor of our Christ. God bless you and may the Father help you to complete this important work.
July 21, 2013
Your last article [The Plain and Open Teachings of Jesus] was beyond great, keep writing!
July 18, 2013
Evening Brothers, it’s about time, great article "The Plain and Open Teachings of Jesus." It had me shaking with excitement. I’m new to the site compared to many of my friends, but I’m proud of my last 5 months of real feeding of the flock.
July 16, 2013
I’m getting baptized after work today along with 3 other co-workers. I’ve been praying and praying, not about if it’s the right thing to do, my thoughts are with all those who still are asleep and how these brothers choose to walk and serve as blind guides for hungering sheep. But who knows, after 23 years of pioneering and calling down all sorts of destruction on folks, I with the spirit’s help have stopped being Saul and have started teaching truth as Jesus taught us to do. So at 4:30 pm, you will have 4 new brothers in Christ.
July 14, 2013
[From the wife of a Circuit Overseer] Good day to all of you faithful stewards of what is fine, I want to give you my thanks in regards to the [The Spiritual Equality of Women and The Spiritual Equality of Women - Part II] and the Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’ [article]. I think it’s some of the finest writing I’ve read of a spiritual nature in many years. So may you continue with Jehovah's blessings!
July 13, 2013
Good Morning friends, my wife and I are new to the site and are partakers of the heavenly Kingdom and would like to thank you for your common sense approach. And we believe that the new way of thinking is better than prophecy solving method of faith building. So keep with the plain teachings.
July 12, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] To all who read the information on your site, dear brother and sister, I pray they meditate on what it is you’re expressing so clearly. To act upon what bears witness with their spirit because the time and call to action is what is truly needed at this time. I’ve written a letter to Brother Herd letting this [Governing Body] member know in no uncertain terms the path the Organization is heading and that we need to really take a pause on prophecy and revisit the plain and open teachings of Jesus. We have an opportunity to still do great things for the future generation of Christians. So dear friends, do not stop in your efforts to uplift and enlighten those in and outside who in reality are our brothers.
July 11, 2013
Dear authors of this site, no matter what it takes please keep pressing on, we need this type of encouragement. Just loved the Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’ article. It made me get up and look in the mirror to see if I was Paul or Saul. It makes you check yourself and we, if humble, need this kind of spiritual wake up call.
July 11, 2013
Great, absolutely Great new articles. I understood the message immediately. It awakened in me a sense of duty to be better as an MD and as a husband to keep the zeal and love I had at first regardless of the foolishness of workmates or church members. [Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’] should shock us and help us at the same time to just be better at being a human being. Keep up the work of the Lord you anointed brothers.
July 10, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Regarding Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’] Hello friends, a really strong but needed article and at times many of us can be said to have made or helped in the making of Sauls by our publications or attitudes. And it’s so true that now is the time for healing the right way by love and doing things in a manner that Christ Jesus would approve of. So thank you for opening the discussion.
July 9, 2013
[From a former Elder] [Regarding Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’] The truth is so powerful and sometimes hard to swallow but sometime needed if change is to come.
July 9, 2013
[From an Elder] Hello dear friends, In a word "AMEN" [to the article Converting ‘Pauls’ into ‘Sauls’]. I think the spirit of truth revealed this new article to you because it is so on point and bears so much the reality of what has taken place for years in the Organization. Judgments must cease and the love of Christ must reign as King and primary in our lives. Thank you two for remaining honest and just telling it as it is. Love you from all of us to you and all seekers or truth and righteousness.
July 8, 2013
[From a former Elder] Hello you faithful brothers in Christ, this weekend was the most embarrassing, most difficult Convention I can recall. It was a bashing to pieces those inside and outside the Organization. They want so badly to be exalted. At lunch in the section where I was seated, many of the friends commented on the over the top bashing and the harmful language used. It just reconfirms my personal choice to step down.
July 8, 2013
Dear Anointed brother and sister, I just want to thank you for uplifting me, mind and spirit. I will never forget you, not now, not ever. Jesus’ teachings are the keys to life itself. I’m over at [a hospital] right now getting radiation treatments, so I will be down for a minute, but not for long. I’m too busy spreading the true good news. I’ve made some good friends and we read together your articles and cite by heart some of the book you published. So God bless and to my angel, thank you so, so much. It shows you never know where or when a blessing will come and change your life forever!!
July 7, 2013
Hello my spiritual family. I just want to pass on to you friends that the rise in Bible studies and sonship continues to increase from sea to shining sea. In other words, from hospital to hospital the interest still remains. Some of the results of Mr. Man's pain and the manifestations have resulted in much fruit bearing and the resolve to keep our holiest of faith is strong. Both Doctors and Nurses and engineers give thanks to you. Both the hands on approach and the word pictures given in the articles has begun in earnest a life changing mission. So be well, keep feeding, and let the spirit of truth do its work!
July 6, 2013
Good Afternoon, AnointedJW, I appreciate your articles and letters, myself and others find your site to be most encouraging. We pray you maintain such a wonderful way of thinking and even if you’re not able to effect change in the Governing Body, at least they have had the witness given to them. May our heavenly father Jehovah bless all his true children of faith.
July 5, 2013
[From an Elder] Hello Dear Friends,
Just to let you know that we continue to be in constant delight for the revelation of so many wonderful insights on the purpose of our existence and the unexpected joys our Father reserves for us in our ministry.
In the past when we have tried to help the friends in the congregation to understand the true good news, many ended up feeling fearful, confused, and stressed out. It has been our experience that many dread the persecution, intimidation and potential loneliness they may experience for not following the directives and teachings of the Governing Body. We cannot deny that this has been stressful for us too! We have requested the Father and his Christ to bless our efforts to go in a different direction. Now we are focusing our ministry outside the congregation.
My wife and I are carrying on our ministry completely separate from the field service activities at the local Kingdom Hall. Currently we have 5 people studying the Scriptures with us. And let me tell you, we are having great success! Last night a couple that has been studying with us for about six month told us, at the end of our weekly Bible study with them, that they would like to get baptized. To us, this is proof that our glorious Master, the Christ, is blessing our efforts to carry on our work as his ambassadors. This couple has embraced the heavenly calling with a depth that can only be explained by the influence of the Spirit of Truth. So, towards the end of this month, I will have the privilege of baptizing in Christ our first two "letters of recommendation."
Thank you for your constant efforts to be a source of encouragement to so many friends. Thank you for you example of courage, boldness, perseverance, zeal, and most of all love for our Savior in heaven. My wife and I would like to tell you that we considered you true anointed Christians; we belong to one another and we are yours because we are children born from the same divine spirit. We’ll always be your friend whether you continue to associate with the [Jehovah’s Witnesses] congregation or not. Our relationship with you —that for the time being is through your website— is not based on the rules of any religious organization or men, but on the unbreakable spiritual bonds of our heavenly citizenship.
July 5, 2013
Hello with love and Christian greetings. It’s such a wonderful day to be alive and all of us here hope that you [both] are well. Yesterday we had some military at the [recovery mission] to serve them [meals] and to thank them for being servants for a good purpose in keeping us free so that were able to change the world one person, one block, one community, one city, one state, and so forth, at a time. So many of the [Rehabbers for Christ] are outstanding speakers and just plain talented that once you crack the shell or open the hearts of these men, God comes pouring out. So we are blessed and we continue to thank you and do good works in behalf of the Kingdom. We love you guys and the [Fire Department] really loved our efforts [in helping to put out the fires in Colorado.]
July 3, 2013
Hey Christ followers, I have learned more in a day from your web-page than I have in 20 years. This was so in the nick of time. I was giving up on religion because of the double talk of my pastor and the twisting of scriptures, so your site appealed to me because you would rather teach the plain Jesus and that’s what I’ve needed.
July 2, 2013
Hey brothers I hope all is well. Our brotherhood of awakened humans must remain strong through the tough times we will face. Remember Jesus said ALL that followed him would be persecuted. Indeed the time is coming when our resolve will be tested. I personally am attempting to strengthen my defense for Christ and the heavenly hope to stand firm in support of the true good news. I will continue to pray for the spiritual welfare of all our brothers and sisters, wicked or not, in hopes that we all will come to the true knowledge and spiritual awareness that our Father is trying to give! Any help you need, let me know.
