[From Germany] First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for your work. Although I'm a Jehovah’s Witness, I'm about ten years on the search for the truth. I must say that your articles are very encouraging. They shows me starting and doing the search was not a false thing. I have noticed, that only a few of your articles are translated to German. So I would like to contribute something to your work. I have translated the article "Bringing Heaven Down – Turning Back Destruction" to German and I would like to provide it to you. Please send me a possibility to provide you with the translation and in which format it should be, I think a PDF is ok. In brotherly love.

You guys are a breath of fresh air! I’m hoping my blood sister will lose some of her fear and check out your site. She is so afraid of apostasy and angering Jehovah that she will not read anything other than Watchtower. I’m so happy you guys have more of an open mind and I hope your efforts can lighten up the rest of the organization...and love God not out of fear but out of the beauty and wonder of his creation. It’s funny how everyone thinks they have the truth and everyone else is wrong. It really is simple to just follow what Jesus taught and I told my sister if Christ were here today he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey... or knocking on doors.....he'd probably be on the internet!

Because of persecution from elders when I spoke to them that I felt that I was one of the anointed, I will need to [make some changes.] The most surprising revelation to me was that I never to the best of my knowledge saw myself as living in paradise on earth. Thank you for being there. I only wish I had found you sooner.
December 18, 2013
Greeting dear brother and sister, We pray all is well and that you’re enjoying the season and all that comes with it. We all enjoyed so much Regaining Our Liberty and the one on Impartial and Consecrated Service. They both were food at the right time because they motivated us as a family to start doing more in the community and to speak up with courage, not being afraid to say what's in our hearts and not to just go along with a popular opinion on a scripture or prophecy. So we thank you and pray that our dear brother is soon to be free of treatments and the like, but in many ways he was the one giving the treatments that patients and staff appreciated from him. So as always, God has a way of reaching people no matter where they are, so may the Father in Heaven bless your vital ministry.

[From Tanzania, Africa] I hope you are fine, I'm glad to know your work. I would like to be your partner and work cooperatively to build the body of Jesus Christ with you. God bless you.
December 16, 2013
Dearest Brother and Sister, your website is a gem. The articles and spiritual subjects are unmatched to anything I have ever read and are always so upbuilding. I imagine it takes an enormous amount of time to compile the information, organize it and type it. As an expression of my deep gratitude for all you do, I would like to volunteer to assist you. If you need assistance with any clerical duties such as proofreading the articles or other necessary technicalities, I would like to do what I can to help. Again I want to thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication in spreading the glorious Sonship message. May our Father and our Lord Jesus continue to bless your ministry.
December 16, 2013
[From a former Elder] We are very grateful for all the diligent work and research you do in preparing the [articles]! It is a lot of work! Even more, keeping up with the technical aspect of the website requires a lot of energy and dedication. My wife and I consider that your [articles] are more that just interesting reading. They are a serious source of Bible based truth. No additives, no fillers, just what the Scriptures say, simple, clear and direct. That is why we like your writing, because you realize that you do not need to embellish the teachings of our Master, Jesus. The good news, as he preached them are GOOD ENOUGH! They are the power of God for salvation. So we feel very comfortable using your [articles] as outlines to pace our spiritual work and we are seeing excellent results -strong faith and conviction in those we are able to help. We humbly suggest to all our dear anointed brothers to more than just read the articles, but take time to break down the reading of the scriptures cited and meditate deeply on them; reviewing and studying the [articles] already published. For example the [articles] on The Promised Resurrection, in our humble opinion, outlines the very foundation of our heavenly hope, it is not quick reading! So in our Bible considerations with the people we are sharing the good news with, we are frequently reviewing some key [articles] like the "The Promised Resurrection." My wife and I think that this is key for us to continue to make disciple to the point of baptism. Your fellow worker in Christ.
December 15, 2013
[From a former Elder] Hello faithful Sons of Jehovah. I've followed your advice and I came to the conclusion to regain my liberty. So as of today I'm no longer an Elder but I'm one happy son of the only true Kingdom of the heavens. Many others have been inspired by the food provided on your site but most importantly the spirit bearing witness, and the wonderful spirit of truth has open my eyes and the eyes of a few other elders. We are so pumped up it's like the fire in your bones that makes you want to shout it from the mountain tops. So thank you and keep doing things according to the spirit and may your efforts be blessed now and eternally in the heavens.
December 15, 2013
[From an Elder in Nigeria] I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, a congregation Elder, living in Nigeria. I recently visited your site, and see the good work you are doing by awaken our brothers to a living hope. I enjoy your publications, and I will be directing other Christian brothers and sisters to this site for them to read and awaken to true sonship.
December 14, 2013
[From a former Elder] Dear Spiritual family, We appreciate you more than ever and we stand with you more than ever. We have been pretty busy with changes and some sickness in our family but we are continuing to search for more insight into the truth and enjoying your wonderful letters. Thank you for letting the [Governing Body] know that they are being examined by their fellow anointed ones and reminding them that this is not the time to copy the Pharisees who tried to hold a grip, dominion and control over of Gods people. We are learning to trust the power of the spirit of truth and know for the first time that the good news is the power of God for salvation, no need for enslaving and suffocating religious organizations. You have helped us a lot to keep the right perspective.
My wife and I decided some months ago to discontinue our association with the [Jehovah’s Witness] congregation. My assignments – talks in assemblies, in conventions, parts in the meetings, Assembly Overseer in my section of the circuit, and as member of the District Convention Committee – were all becoming a burden and source of grief. I realize that I was spending a lot of time doing paperwork and public relations, not supporting the gathering of the children of God, but supporting the structure of a man-made corporation whose main purpose of existence, I am sorry to say and according to our opinion, is its own survival. The damage-control policy of presenting corrections to doctrines, dates and prophecies as “new light” to millions of trusting people has become revolting to us. We feel sorry for them, for their lack of humility and self concern. Religious association can produce great damage to the spirituality of its members and the fleshly action of the leaders of a religious group is the quickest way for people to become erroneously convinced that the God they represent really does not exist.
Them, I have witness first hand the damaging effects of the policies of the [Watchtower Society] regarding sexual abusers inside the congregation. The idea that God's laws to the Jews regarding two witnesses to a crime should be used as an excuse for the elders to take a passive attitude towards the sexual predators within the congregation is frankly dangerous to innocent children. So, it did not feel right to continue as an appointed elder, when I do not recognize the religious authority of the [Governing Body] over me.
I could continue but... suffice it to say, when we left, the body of elders, the circuit overseer and district avoided calling us or having any conversations in person or by phone. Not a shred of interest in finding out how they could help. They were afraid of us and still are. My wife and I, on the other hand, are the happiest we have ever been; we feel a renewed interest in people. I do not have to judge [as an appointed elder] anyone anymore by the rules of a religious organization. We are free to be compassionate and forgiving and this change has been noticed by our neighbors and co-workers, all for the good.
For our part, we are leading our conversations with friends and coworkers to the wonderful freedom of the children of God. We have families and young ones that come to our home to talk about the wonderful good news. In a little while we'll send you more details about our success in spreading the good news. With love.
December 14, 2013
Dear Friends, as an ex-JW of many years and an Evangelical Christian. You website is a blessing to my heart. May God bless you all richly for all your labours. Yours, in HIS name.
December 13, 2013
Hello brothers of AnointedJW.org. I'm a new reader of the site articles, but I'm very much floored by the truth you express about spiritual liberty and the theme of your site regarding Sonship with God as opposed to the manmade friend of God theory. So bravo brothers and I have so many friends to share this information with, so thank you so much for taking the message around the world.
December 13, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Good Day brothers, I'm very impressed with your latest articles especially dealing with the development within the Catholic Church and what on an even larger scale what could come from such an overhaul. [Impartial and Consecrated Service and Regaining Liberty]. Many of the friends are now sons because of the combination of spirit and the information provided by your well composed material. I know myself and my wife get a kick out of reading and re-reading the articles, and it keeps proving true just how much we didn't know. But I can't imagine ever turning away from such inspirational and impactful Kingdom learnings, so we and many others around the world thank you both for having the courage in the face of opposition or ridicule to persevere so such ones as myself and others coming on board have benefitted by the transfer from death to life and have a security of knowing we are now REAL Christians in the body. So may God the Father Jehovah bless you both and keep you strong in the ministry.
December 12, 2013
We read the article [Regaining Liberty]. We thought it was wonderful. It revised a lot of things that had been said, but gave the dominance of our time, that these things are happening now. And it was thought provoking on the world events occurring in oppressed lands and with the Pope. It is truly exciting times and reinforces the Spirit’s movement.
December 12, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Great Afternoon friends, It's so encouraging all the chatter from those inside and outside the Organization of the talk of AnointedJW. And it warms the heart the potential good that will come from such inspired articles as "Regaining Liberty." And make no mistake, the power of Jehovah's spirit is very much active in the consciousness of the brothers and sisters like never before, and trust when I say I've been around to see a great deal of the changes and the mood of the friends as individuals and the whole in spending many years in service to the [Watchtower Bible & Tract Society]. So as you've written, the changes that the Catholic Church makes, and the effect it will have will influence the manner of writing and the outlines and letters that will go out to the Body of Elders and Overseers. So as always remain humble and stay accurate as you have and we are sure of Jehovah's blessing as we stand at the ready to regain our liberty.
December 12, 2013
Greetings dear family, we as a family and many friends in Los Angeles and in Texas are Standing Up and taking hold once again of our Liberty. Excellent thought provoking article [Regaining Liberty]. It amazes still to this day the depth of what is available in the scriptures to feed til there is no more want! Love you both and looking forward to an exciting New Year!
December 10, 2013
Dear Brothers, It's been awhile since I last wrote to you, but I've been keeping up with your articles. The refreshing and encouraging information is vital for us Witnesses who are STARVING in the local congregations. It is a VERY rare thing to actually be fed something from the Bible. We hear a lot about the self proclaimed "faithful and discreet slave", and the self exalted "governing body", but rarely does a brother talk about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and/or his role in our Father's purposes for us. And of course, they don't even begin to touch upon all the things that we awake Witnesses know are doctrinally erroneous. The magazine articles are written for the biblically illiterate and are do a good job of keeping their readers that way. The book study (yes, it is still a BOOK study and not a Bible study) material reads like an employee handbook. What is going on up in Bethel? This is not the same organization that I associated with years ago. I believe they've separated themselves from reality and are really 'drinking the kool-aid' as they say.
As you mentioned in your latest article [Impartial and Consecrated Service], it would not take a HUGE amount of changes to right the ship, but the ones that it would take would expose the Governing Body as false teachers and blind guides. They stand to lose their entire power structure if they really address things and put Christ back in his proper place. But if they DON'T address things, Christ will put them back in their proper places. Either way, they are going to be humbled and in a very big way. I don't gloat over that fact. It makes me sad to think of the enormous potential of our brotherhood, and how it's going to waste at the hands of eight men who refuse to relinquish their power and positions. Why won't they correct things? I think it comes down to pride, and a lot of indoctrination. We have to remember that they too have been brought along by the errors of their predecessors and are not yet, for whatever reason, able to move past what they've inherited. My wife and I continue to pray for them. They are walking contradictions of themselves and everything they purport to stand for. I love them as brothers, and I realize the dangers that exist for our entire association as long as they're at the helm. How awful things have become. Please keep up the good work.
December 10, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Hello dear friends, it's been a while but I've been keeping up with the articles, and the information you're providing is still having a profound affect on the Association. In our annual meeting for Circuit and District Overseers, your site was mentioned as the single greatest thorn in the [Governing Body’s] side. But I believe it will come down to ‘if you can't beat them, join them,’ so you two continue doing your powerful ministry and May Jehovah keep you safe.
December 6, 2013
Wonderful article on Impartial and Consecrated Service, We went to the link on the page of the article and reread the article and then the links on that article. It was so refreshing to go over the information again. Your writing is truly spirit driven, the ideas well up into your heart as you read, at the same time flushing out any of the errors that we have been taught. It is great to be positive now, getting rid of the doom and gloom.
We look at people in such a different light now, that we can ‘turn destruction back’ and make the world such a wonderful place to begin our journey to the heavens, is just so exciting. Also, the [Open Letter 12/6/13] to the Governing Body is so kind and loving and hopefully motivates right attitudes. We also, praise the Pope for is outlook and mentioned him in favour to the local Catholic priest and he was very happy. NOW is the time the Jesus wants things to go into action and we stand with you. Your brother and sister.
December 5, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Hey dear friends, I just wanted to reach out to you to encourage the sons of the kingdom to support the site by engaging in impartial and full consecrated service to honor our beloved Christ. As recorded in scripture, some ought not to be teachers, well let me say without hesitation, you two are fine teachers with your hearts being complete toward God the Father and his Christ, at least that's the opinion of an ever growing consensus of witnesses and others who appreciate the inclusive way you approach those of other beliefs, but share a united faith. It's now the 7th reading of the latest pearl you so warmly wrote [Impartial and Consecrated Service] and if anyone has had a problem getting involved in speaking to folk at work or school or from door to door, talk about what's possible with the new revelations of change uttered by the new Pope of the Catholic Church. And start planning right now for the Memorial for next April and by all means, if the spirit moves any to eat and drink before that date, please don't hesitate. There is no time or date that should ever delay your showing yourself to be a Son of the Kingdom. In closing, from both young and older ones alike, we send love and many prayers of thanks your way, bye for now, love you both.
December 5, 2013
[From a former Elder] Great Article! [Impartial and Consecrated Service] Hello dear friends, it's beautiful on your part to be so open to what could have an affect on human history or at least in the Christian community the happenings with the Catholic Church. And myself and many others elders and former elders including [a former Circuit Overseer] feel it would cause the [Governing Body] to make sweeping changes. Just think, if the Catholics start having door to door success, it could overnight change and shake the very core of the uniqueness the Society has had for the last hundred years. As always the information was tastefully done and this Impartial aspect needs to be taken seriously. As Witnesses or Non-Christians, we need to imitate our Lord and open our hearts to all people and embrace our differences and by so doing we begin to show ourselves Consecrated to the will of God the Father and not to men. Please keep doing this work friends with vigor and deep humility and just know we all love you.
December 5, 2013
The latest article [Impartial and Consecrated Service] is a beauty!
December 4, 2013
Hello family, it's been well worth the wait. This new article on Impartial and Consecrated Service has provided a vehicle like no other. Talk about your contemplation, wow. It's almost like the name of the article is "What If." I mean we've been discussing the implications of such changes and, to a person, the outcome is more positives than negatives for sure. So as per usual, great job and may God the Father continue strengthening you both.
December 4, 2013
I thank you brothers for the newest article about Impartial and Consecrated Service. It motivates me further to align all truths – whether biblical, spiritual, scientific, etc. Truth is truth..and stands up to examination. Sadly I do feel my time in the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses is coming to an end. When one awakens to mind control tactics, it is difficult to return. I continue to pray for our brothers and sisters, including my wonderful wife who is still very much indoctrinated. But Jesus will lead her! And I will be used in whatever way needed to open her heart and mind to the heavenly hope. Thanks again brothers.
November 26, 2013
[From an Elder and his Pioneer Wife] Good Day Friends, I serve as an elder and my wife a regular pioneer. Now I make mention of those facts before I speak to another fact, and that is to put the word "former" in front of the word elder and pioneer. The awakening to the plain and open teachings has infused us with real spirit, the kind that originates with God the Father and his magnificent Christ. You see once you taste fruit straight from the vine, it's hard to buy from the store. And I would encourage anyone who seeks real truth to stop being afraid to read the bible without preconceived ideas that's been given to you at the (store) meetings and do some soul searching examinations of what Jesus really said and what it means to you personally. And I will be very honest with you friends, you've got something mighty special going with the articles on your site. And the Memorial Articles are fantastic. My wife's favorite is the Remembrance. So with the continued spirit you've shown, keep going brothers and sisters. We love what you’re doing.
November 23, 2013
We appreciate very much the courage that you have taken to write to the Governing Body, they truly are our sentiments also. And if this goes online, we would like to encourage one of the Governing Body members, Brother Jeoff Jackson, that if he does not do something soon, his dear friends and relatives in Tasmania are going to be very disillusioned by the persistent pride and unloving attitude that is being displayed to the universal family of Our Heavenly Father. So be it. From your Brother And Sister in Tasmania, Australia.
November 23, 2013
[From a former Elder] Evening Sons of Faith, I wanted to tell you that the experiences and recent articles are really on point. The patterns of the organization are frightening, but so true. "That One Must Go On Increasing” and the powerful Open Letter [11/21/13] to the Governing Body was indeed encouraging. So with all our hearts, we here say may our Heavenly Father and his Christ continue assisting you both. Also 6 more friends have become partakers so we are thrilled at the steady growth of Kingdom believers and Christ followers.
November 23, 2013
Good morning to you two wonderful children of God, I along with my daughters continue with you in spirit and there is not a day that goes by that we don't recount the adventures of the missions, [the gang] truces and lectures that still fill my heart. The new articles are outstanding and fearless. "That One Must Go On Increasing” is a Gem of an article and it's beautiful. The heartfelt words to the Philippines families are really nice. I'm ailing a bit in health but so engaged in the spirit, so with all of our hearts from myself, my children and all of what you brought to my beloved wife, Thank you so eternally much. I will take this site where ever I go!
November 21, 2013
[From a former Elder] [Re Open Letter 11/21/13] The most recent letter was inspirational! Regards.
November 21, 2013
Hello faith sons, we just had a great discussion as we considered the article ["That One Must Go On Increasing”] and we are all spiritually full, so thank you for that meal. It’s a privilege to be in association with you two sons of the kingdom. My immediate and extended family has taken this info to heart and back to either the Kingdom Hall or to their churches this new attitude of service for all to increase the Master’s belongings. I look forward to seeing you again, but until then, I know where ever you are, the good news is being preached. Tell your talented wife to continue tapping on those keys. With love and gratitude stay blessed!
November 20, 2013
Just read the latest question and answer email (about 4-6 questions all in one go, lol). I expect you know the email I mean which was right up to date I think. [Question and Response 11/20/13] I must commend, your answers were with grace, politeness, humbleness, up building, faith strengthening, sincerity and truth. Nice to hear. Well done.
November 20, 2013
[From former Circuit Overseer] Greetings dear friends, I'm having such a marvelous time doing honest work these days. I've been in communication with some of the headquarter brothers in various departments exchanging ideas and thoughts on scriptures. I brought the latest articles to their attention and it's funny how the plain and actual teachings blows away the so called intellectuals. They see it just as we see, but then the famous statement rears it's ugly head "let's wait on Jehovah." But at least we were able to share real truth and that's always gratifying. It's time to get real about what is and what isn't a biblical teaching especially anything dealing with salvation and the honoring of our Christ. The love of many continue to express appreciation for your progressive and thought provoking articles as well as the emails from others, so thank you and God be with you both.
November 20, 2013
Afternoon Anointed brothers, I enjoyed very much the truth about the [Jehovah's Witnesses] teachings on all the different classes Jehu....etc ["That One Must Go On Increasing”]. I'm a partaker since the call when out to stand up for Christ 2 years ago by you friends [Sons of the Kingdom, Stand Up!], and I will be honest, I've never felt so close to our Heavenly Father than I do now. It just makes sense that all of the offspring of Adam and Eve would be related by faith and be able to be adopted by exercising faith in Jesus. My entire family are now heaven bound and we are thrilled at the news update about the increase in sons of the kingdom [Kingdom Update - June 2013], so in our prayers, we think of you friends, good cheer and continue praising God with real truth.
November 19, 2013
Greetings friends, the latest manna from you ["That One Must Go On Increasing”] has deeply touched me and some friends who are pretty new to the site but are loving what they've read so far in the Brotherhood section. I believe this is one of those game changer type articles because it speaks to the heart of [Jehovah’s Witnesses] teachings, but in no way goes on the attack. It simply tells what we all know is true. They have a John the Baptist message and baptism. So I'm really happy along with about 8 others reading the article. God be with you both in doing your ministry.
November 19, 2013
What a great article ["That One Must Go On Increasing”]. Hello my spiritual family, I have been with so many others praying for your health and wishing you both the best. We are doing just what the article suggests and we, along with the mighty angels, we are increasing both Jew and gentile and using the articles to drive home why it is so important to grab hold of the lamb and follow him. I'm happy to be able to say 16 men were baptized Saturday morning, then we had a memorial dinner and with tears of joy ate and drank of our Christ. It was beautiful and I do believe there will be plenty more soon. Well God bless and love you.
November 18, 2013
[From a former Elder] Dear friends this latest article "That One Must Go On Increasing” has opened up a wonderful avenue of service conversation, 'what does it mean to go on increasing?' I will keep you posted on how it goes. By the way, this is probably some of your best writing. Jehovah is truly in a large way with your work! Keep going dear friends, we need this type of uncommon sense.
November 18, 2013
Hey family, we've been waiting and it was well worth the wait. This is perfection. "That One Must Go On Increasing” has taken my breath away. Thank you so much for being a voice that's not afraid to speak and say what many of us think to ourselves. You both are forever in our prayers and thoughts, love you. P.S. more, more, more, we need more. lol
November 14, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer and a former Elder] Dear friends, we can tell you without any doubt the power of true Sonship over any other powers on earth. Brothers and sisters are asking questions pertaining to the true hope like never before. It seems the awakening and appointed time for the wrong to be righted may not take as long as one might think. You see friends, we’re in touch with a very diverse number of brothers still serving as [Circuit Overseers and District Overseers] that still tell us the topic in discussions with them is the feeling that they should partake. They feel a connection greater than a friend with Jehovah and they feel as if they are disowning the Christ in not partaking. We have heard from [others] this same theme. We just laugh at our humble beginnings. It is true, all things work to the glory of His purpose one way or another. Keep pressing on in love and may the Father provide for you as we remain steadfast on the front lines of a beautiful ministry. We love you both!
November 14, 2013
[From France] Dear Brother and Sister. Thanks for all you do. It is not easy for us to read your writing, but with Google Translate, we still get it.
November 11, 2013
[From a former Elder] Outstanding letter dear friends. [Open Letter dated 11/10/13] It's bold and still respectful. It's time for Christ to be the way the truth and the life in the lives of [Jehovah’s Witnesses] and we thank you both for your relentless unyielding loyalty to this so needed work.
November 10, 2013
[From Australia] What a great letter to the Governing Body. [Open Letter dated 11/10/13] We pray that they will change humbly for the sake of the millions following them. This really gives any of us who are looking in on this the impetus to make our stand for Christ, our brother. None should forsake it for any advantage in this materialistic system. The brothers who are dependent on the comforts of Bethel life would now need to put their trust in Jesus for the betterment of all, to the praise and glory of our Heavenly Father. “ So be it”.
The Historic Overview article was wonderful as well. We have attached 2 photos of the card we are using to direct people to the site and also the little bags we place them in and they love the idea of it as a gift, so it has been received well by all. The cards are going international. We stand with you. [Brother and Sister] in Tasmania.
November 7, 2013
Hello fellow brother and sister! It's been a while! I don't really have much to say other than great work so far...your latest article [Bringing Heaven Down - An Historic Overview] has got to be the best so far, a real game changer! It's the seed planted.
November 7, 2013
Good Morning to you and I am deeply moved by what I've heard about your work from many of my friends, and I'm so happy to have at my fingertips these faith strengthening words. The Brotherhood section is a blessing and I’m just getting warmed up. God is great!
November 6, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Good afternoon fellow heirs of the Kingdom. What a powerful witness this series "Bringing Heaven Down" is becoming. I can feel the spiritual instruction increasingly getting stronger and bolder with each article, and it is so vital that we as sons stop lurking in the shadows and declare God's goodness out loud. I can't begin to express the peace and renewing of my spirit. This is truly soul food or should I say food for the soul, on that you can decide. Your site is no secret at headquarters, that's for sure. Some of my friends who are still serving there think you are a force to take seriously because you present a reasonable argument and it's presentation is very humble. So is it possible that we could effect change who knows, but let's just keep praying and give them a little time to turn the titanic around. Love you friends and may our Father continue bearing witness with your spirit.
November 5, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Greetings dear friends, this latest article in the series [Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] is so very refreshing as well as powerful. My wife and I will be partaking next memorial and it was by the spirit bearing witness and your site, so thank you and May God continue to bless your gifted efforts!
November 5, 2013
Love it, love it, love it. Telling it like it is and how it should be. The latest article on the [Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] is a spirit filled gem. I'm about to conduct my weekly study and reading group so thx for supplying the food at the proper time. God bless.
November 5, 2013
Good Evening to you all, [Re Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] it's more than good, it's stupendous. This Open and Candid discussion of Jesus message and how to view prophecy and I agree with your viewpoint because it's what continues to divide us as Christians the ole who's right who's wrong. Keep up the excellent writing and the spirit you show.
November 5, 2013
[From a former Elder] [Re Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] You never cease to amaze the degree of depth and perception you have into what's the more important things, namely salvation not by brute force but by our Fathers spirit. I also appreciated the deeper understanding into the former God of this system and his various roles he played in biblical history, so brilliantly stated. Eyes are opening dear friends and I believe more so now than ever before that this message of Bringing Down Heaven and the whole Sonship understanding will indeed change the world. Great job, love you guys so very much.

[Re Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] Masterpiece article you two, it's a conversation that's long overdue and as followers of Christ we need positive discussions such as this so thank you for an open and candid presentation. Love your insight and love you both!
November 4, 2013
[Re Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview] Excellent article! Me and my brother have been discussing these things as well, and we were talking about the events that took place in Heavens... that war... and we were getting to the same conclusions as you.
November 3, 2013
I just got done reading the article "Does this Stumble You?" I very much enjoy the way you help the reader to be open to new ideas or as you said 'get out of our box or comfort zone.' We need to know that we should be making changes in our beliefs and like one brother ask me about my Faith and Beliefs, and I told him that my Faith has never changed but my Beliefs about my Father and Jesus is always changing. Like a child that has a very small understanding about his parents at 3, and then at the age of 10 he knows so much more in understanding of them. And then in the late teens and into adult hood, his understanding just keeps unfolding about them, but he always knows who they are but his depth of what they are keeps growing.
Like one of the Elders told me after my Graduation (Asked to leave) from the JWs he was wise in saying to me '[brother] you are way ahead of me, or way behind me, I do not know, but I do know you.' He knew that we should not all be on the same page because that would mean that some would be held back and others would be dragged ahead before they are ready, but we need to be in the same Book. At that time if the Lord would have shown me what I know now, it would have scared me and I would have jumped back into the box. He has been very gentle with me with the leading of the Spirit of Truth that has brought me to this point were I am now in my service to him. Like Paul said 'Nothing can separate me from the love of God.' Our Father knows our heart and we need to trust his watch care as we step out into the unknown in acts of faith so we can grow. With you in this great work.

Once again you have inspired me in "Bringing Heaven Down – an Open and Candid Discussion." As I look out my window this day I see the beauty of Mt. Shasta, it looks like it is floating on clouds and is coming down to earth. Yes it is our joy to be Bringing Heaven Down! Jesus’ teachings will not be in vain! I love the way you sew the Truth of golden thread with the silver needle of Love to express things of the spirit in such a non-threatening way, in a kind but firm use of words to put me to the task in keep moving forward as I look to my higher calling. I think it is easy to DIE for our Lord and Father as so many are willing to do. The challenge is as Paul said run the race as to finish it. We all have a very important work to do and I find it a very refreshing joy doing it. But when I find my self doing it for my own Self Importance one losses the Joy and It becomes tiring. I look forward to the upcoming article, "Bringing Heaven Down – An Historic Overview, in the spirit of being open and candid, as well as bold and revolutionary." Your word are like "As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time for it" Prov 25:11. Thank you for your Labor of Love!

[From Australia] We have come to this wonderful knowledge about 6 weeks ago. My husband does not know how to turn the computer on unfortunately. He is very active in telling people about it all, he is the talker, and even telling Jehovah’s Witnesses. Also, we have just ordered business cards, directing people to the plain, open and authentic teachings of Jesus and your website. None of our details are on the card, just those comments, as we have a shop and talk to people about it, so instead of writing it on a piece of paper it will be better with a card. We have people from all over the world come in, we are in Tasmania, Australia and it is a very touristy place.
One experience, just last week, we had a call from a marketing place, in India, we didn’t know the man. My husband said we didn’t need whatever he was selling and said he had some good news about the future and heavenly life etc., and gave him your website. He said that a friend of his had already given him the website and he was reading it. What a coincidence. We stand with you, your brother and sister.

Thank you again for all the wonderful information that is leading us to the Christ. My husband and I read an article and discuss it each night, and then we still talk about it during the day. You may remember, I have been a Witness all my life and my husband for 40 years, but both of us have recently left, he being anointed.

[From a former elder] Evening Friends, I’ve had the fortune of reading the "Bringing Heaven Down" series. It is wonderful, the positive attitude speaks volumes into my spirit. Each article stands alone in its Christ-Like manner. Nicely written articles. [A former Circuit Overseer] sends greetings and love. God the Father has an intense purpose at work in this movement of restoring as you say the Plain and Open Teaching, which I love by the way. It stays in harmony with the original group in the 1st century coming out from Jewish opression and into a simple but effective way of gaining the real life. Thank You.

[From a now former Elder] Hello dear brother and sister, It’s been a long time coming but I’ve reached a point in my life with the assistance of friends I’ve had the pleasure of associating with for the past 41 years of service in the Organization. But it’s time for me now to step aside as Elder and Field Service Co-ordinator and join the spiritual brotherhood and become a part of Christ's body and reap my inheritance in the ONE hope for mankind. The spirit bore witness as I read "Does this Stumble You?" It hit me in my gut and took my breath away. Now as you know we read scriptures often as Witnesses but we don’t meditate on them enough. We don’t take the words of Jesus personal enough. I have come to strongly believe the application of his message belongs to all followers of Christ in the 1st century and all who choose to follow the lamb wherever he goes. Thank you brothers for you bold and fearless approach in shedding light in a dark world and for attempting to raise the spiritual conversation! May OUR heavenly FATHER continue working with you.

This website is "On Top Of The World." I’m loving what's coming out the kitchen of God, ya feel me. Because we feeling this "Bringing Heaven Down" is the dealeo that this crazy world needs. It’s like today’s version of "let’s give peace a chance." Let me make this clear, this is Freedom of the Sons of God stuff. This is for chaps like myself mate who can read and cut through the ‘bs’ and enjoy the spirit. Hey we’re on board! Hey be well and tell your eternal mate your heart is golden, so stand up just for a second and take a well deserved bow. God bless!!.
October 25, 2013
Great Afternoon, Oh how I wish I'd gone deeper into spiritual things such as the entire section on the Divine Relationships with the Father and Son. It has me thinking on a more bonding with the Father and the Universe compared to the [Jehovah’s Witness] teachings, so thank you for this spirit food because this has done wonders for the soul.
October 23, 2013
Evening AnointedJW, I’m so very impressed by the site. I read the The Glad Tidings and the Heaven In the Home articles and your style of writing makes it easy to understand and follow along. I will tell my friends about this site because just, in what I’ve read, it seems the intent I can feel in my spirit that you really want a better world. So bravo fellow Christians, bravo!!
October 23, 2013
Superb article family, Hello, Hello. The Glad Tidings as got my mojo going because it puts things about the message of Jesus is as they say "real talk" mode. The preaching and teaching of "doom and gloom" ain’t gonna get it. We have got to start loving one another looking to a brighter day. Oh how I love you guys. I pray for you all the time because we need more brave Sons of the Kingdom to challenge the manner of what’s being fed Christ Jesus brothers, so God bless you and We Stand With You As Heirs. And the number of your friends and mine are growing! You may not see us or hear from many others, but the message of the plain and sho-nuff open teachings is being spread.
October 19, 2013
Hello my new found family, I saw my friend tonight and I’m happy that he is almost finish with this part of his life. But I thank God for meeting him and being handed a gift that keeps on producing interest in family members with your info on the AnointedJW site and the Bringing Heaven Down series is a true work of art. The one on the home was so loving and so freeing, my sister has read the article to her to boys I don’t know how many times. Hey I’m at work but I wanted you to know we are a changed family for the better and we have something that we cherish, thx.

Good Afternoon Brothers. It's so wonderful to know that many brothers and sisters around the world actually have same thinking like me. Honestly, I have been feeling there is a heavy burden on my shoulders, because I know some truth, but I can't share it with other brothers in my congregation. You know how other brothers will look at someone who tells something different to what they believe. But now, to know that many brothers have same beliefs like me, it's like that burden is reduced. And I will try, little by little, to share this truth with other brothers. Thank you, may Jehovah God and our Glorious Lord Jesus bless you.
October 17, 2013
[From Indonesia] Greeting. Wonderful brothers, I have read your article titled "Who Are Led By Spirit?", and I agree with you. For a long time I have considered about this, especially according to Romans 8, that the sons of God, who are led by Spirit, not only mean for 144.000, but for ALL believers! Thank you.
October 16, 2013
Dear AnointedJW, What a pleasure it is to read such love for Jehovah and Jesus that you show in your articles. It is great to read the truth. I wish to thank you for the stand you are making for Jesus Christ as his brothers, and allowing Jehovah to use you in showing the truth to the world and hopefully many of Jehovah's Witnesses. I will stand with you.
October 15, 2013
I wept tears of joy when I read through your website! Someone I love very dearly has been captive to the Watchtower's deceit for way too long and I have been praying for her to be set free! I am so encouraged by the fact that people like those in your organization are reaching out and changing lives in such a powerful way for the cause of Christ! Thanks again for your fabulous website that is setting people free!!!!

[From two former Circuit Overseers] We are so proud to be able to say "THANK YOU" for providing the needed spiritual food to help grow the spirit within us. We have served in the circuit work for 25 and 32 years, respectively, and have both been partakers of the real life for 20 years. And the tipping point was a couple of things: (1) the plain and open teaching of Jesus not being preached; (2) the lack of respect and honor given to the one who has all authority; (3) as followers of Christ, not really willing to follow him no matter where he goes; and (4) the bully pulpit with the so-called new understanding of the faithful slave, just to name a few. So with these kinds of teachings, we couldn’t continue to promote falsehoods that give attention to men not the Father. And now that we stepped down, our ministry has true heavenly treasure value. So please dear friends, we understand difficulties and distractions but there are both young and old that have finally joined in the real race for life. May Jehovah the Father of Lights continue to bless you.

Great Afternoon to you All, I was with some other friends and partakers of Christ at the beach and there was some haters of the Society with some "evil slave" and other signs like that. So I said “Have you ever contemplated the beautiful heavens and all that must just be mind blowing.” I could see him start to calm his spirit and you could sense the presence of the mind of Christ. So after about 40 minutes later, he asked me “Where did you get all of these pearls?” He said “Surely you didn’t get them from the Kingdom Hall.” Then I told him “Oh no, this information and so much more is on AnointedJW.org. He wrote it on his arm in black magic marker in huge letters so I hope I planted correctly. We'll see, but I just wanted to share that experience and you should have seen the change of spirit, it was nice. I pray that our Father bless you guys and all faith sons to join in on all of this fun!
October 11, 2013
I enjoy your thoughts and comments on your site. Thank you for reaching out to those looking for answers. I especially appreciate your understanding regarding the nature of Kingdom of God. It's refreshing to see that.
October 9, 2013
Another great letter brothers!! The [open letter to the Governing Body, 10/9/13] was a moving and convicting letter, but done so with respect and honor. . . . It reaffirms and strengthens my faith in Christ and that faith is an individual relationship with him and our Father, and NOT reliant on a group of men. Christ would never endanger us or our one hope to imperfect men...thank God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ for all the truth that the spirit is revealing in the sonship we share. Thanks again!
October 9, 2013
Good Afternoon, AnointedJW, I was turned on to this today and I’m hooked, this type of stimuli for the spirit I can deal with. I’ve read the Bringing Heaven Down series and it makes you really think "what if." So I appreciate this blessing, God is so Good!

[From a former District Overseer] Greetings faithful stewards in Christ, [another former Circuit Overseer] whom you are familiar with finally trusted me enough to let me in on the best kept secret on the planet, and that's your website. We go way back, [this brother] and I, in the circuit and district work as traveling brothers. I recently stepped down due to the conflict of sonship and creature worship of the slave and the glorification of men. I still hold the friends I’ve met for the past 48 years as dear sweet tender sheep who have no true spirit guidance. And know this dear friends, your information you have put together for the edification of the body of Christ is second to none in its well thought out concepts. The Brotherhood Section is a work of art. And the Bringing Heaven Down has got to be made known some how, some way. It is a pearl of great value. I feel that after 34 years of partaking, I feel worthy of the emblems now. Thank you for paving the way for the heirs who went to sleep in the field. May Jehovah our Father continue using you to His true glory.
October 7, 2013
Great site! I love the "Bringing Heaven Down." Really strong, and I’m going to have my children read the one on Family [Heaven in the Home]. Really nice. A lady approached me and was really excited about what she had learned from this site, so much so that when I got on the bus, she also boarded the bus. But then I guess she realized what she was doing and got off. I'd like to say personally if mankind would at least give Christ a Chance, I believe we could postpone the end of the world, at least you present the possibility and I thank you for your forward thinking!
October 7, 2013
Great Morning. I’m enjoying what I’m reading on the site, especially the Brotherhood Section because it gives great details on the some of the most commonly used scripture in the New Testament. I also looked briefly at the Contemplations #1, very nice. You are very needed in this time and it’s exactly what I’ve been missing, a real enlightened adult progressive spiritual thinking site.
October 6, 2013
Hey, just a quick comment on the new bible [released by the Governing Body]. I believe it is the most underhanded method to date that the [Governing Body] has used to subvert and distract your attention away from the Bible and to study and take to heart all the other frills within the book. It’s like one-stop-shopping, it’s got a little of everything in it. Things to study, research, the only thing missing is a scratch and sniff section. It’s an AGENDA BIBLE.
October 6, 2013
Hello and Good Morning, I and a few others took to the streets doing some store to store witnessing and to people we met at bus stops and got into some interesting conversations about a better world and asking "Suppose there is a chance we can cancel the end of the world. Would that interests you? We can, if each of us starts or continues to love one another.” It’s been forever since I’ve felt I was being myself in the ministry. But my sister is a natural in speaking about the Kingdom and she says it’s easy when you’re not drawing people to yourself and not trying to convert. We’re just talking brother to brother. AnointedJW gives great tips and tools that build confidence. May our Heavenly and only Father bless your work.
October 6, 2013
Hello, and Blessings on your article 'Bringing down Heaven, in the Home.' All I can say is the information is spot on, and delivered in a most agreeable and loving way. Blessings.
October 5, 2013
[From an elder] Hello dear friends and brother in Christ, the annual meeting lacked substance. It was the kind of introduction to a new revised addition of the Bible that could have been done during the 5 minute announcements after the Public talk. I have to be straight with you friends that I feel like I’m not in a religion. It feels a pep rally for some team. This speaks to the very heart of your articles in speaking of sonship, Kingdom for a Modern World, and after today goodness gracious do we ever need to bring heaven down. Well I wish I could speak on some highlights but I’m not into creature worship. We stand United in spreading the plain and open teachings as long as there is breath in our old broken down bodies. It feels good finally doing the ministry of the 1st century brothers. Love you two faithful lovers of Christ and our Loving Father.
October 3, 2013
[From a Circuit Overseer] Perfect timing. [Heaven in the Home] I’m going to be giving some encouragement on [a talk about the family] so I hope you don’t mind me interjecting some of the outstanding point on yes means yes and no means no, and being true in both words and deeds. Keep doing things pleasing to Jehovah and it is assured to be met with success.
October 3, 2013
[From a former Circuit Overseer] Dear brother and sister, I wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying the well thought out information and this latest gem [Heaven in the Home] speaks volumes as to the manner of respectful subjection with honor being accorded each member of the family. I for one will incorporate these truths into my ministry. May the Father continue to bless your efforts to unite without uniformity.
October 3, 2013
[From a cardiac surgeon] Thank you very much for your time with those in need of encouraging and positive stimulation of their spirits. As you know, so many give out in their recovery because of the power within their own soul. So we here thank you and may your life be ever enriched by the affection you show toward others. God Bless.
October 3, 2013
I’ve got to know the secret of how you continue to dazzle and boggle the mind in a good way. We just got finish reading the article [Heaven in the Home] and all 14 of us love it, those who have children or just for couples. This is a great way to live, it’s honest living, great job. God bless and pleasssse keep them coming.
October 3, 2013
Hey family, I’m so impressed by this one on the family, [Heaven in the Home], whether in or out of the [Watchtower Bible & Tract Society], this info is true. The portion on not being hypocritical to me is the key in rearing children and as adults how we should conduct ourselves in worship and in life's activities. It makes us more accountable in what we do and what we say. So bravo you two, wonderful, wonderful article.
