#49 2012; A Letter to Those Associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, Past or Present, And to the world, John 10:16.

The Mayan calendar predicted change in 2012. That date came and went, was there any change?

Hollywood depicted catastrophe on the world scene associated with that date.

But what took place before the eyes of most around the world, was “Just another day”.

The Earth is still spinning and being consumed and burnt up, and life is decaying at every level, with no end in sight. Business as usual, right? Was there a change?

Yes! There was a great shift or change.

It took place around that time, but this went unseen and unknown by almost all.

Just as Jesus said it would be, “They took no note”.

The world, its governmental powers, and its vast flavors of religions are oblivious to realities, prophesied, and happening, then and now!

2012 saw momentous changes in the spiritual channel used by God, that is through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Through His approved arrangement for spiritual direction leading up till that date.

As has been documented within the pages of this Blog, fredsspiritualblog, I discussed how the channel that was used by The Living God had been corrupted and is now revealed as being the foretold “Disgusting thing that causes desolation”. As foretold by Daniel and confirmed in prophecy by the Lord Jesus himself, after these and a hand full more key events, He is soon to come.

God’s approved channel

In no way do I downplay the faith of others, but as we will discuss, prophecy and evidence can’t be refuted.

They, Jehovah’s Witnesses, as the only faith on Earth to follow the Bible command to publicly declare the incoming Kingdom of God, from door to door and from house to house and worldwide. this alone indicates that these one’s were this channel of spiritual direction in our times.

This commission to preach was in fulfillment of Jesus command at Matthew 24:14.

Similarly, they, Jehovah’s Witnesses, publicly used and taught God’s name, Jehovah. (pronunciation irrelevant) Just as did Jesus and his disciples and in their ministries.

Being also the only ones who could logically then “Blaspheme the NAME of the father”.

Along with much other prophetic evidence of proof, this insignificant group played a large part in the outworking of God’s will for mankind since the late 1800s.

In the years leading up to the changes which were manifesting by 2012. The Organisation, though made up of imperfect man, was for the most part whole souled in their devotion and worship.

They dedicated themselves to God and Christ Jesus and to their ongoing search for understanding spiritual truth. Whilst spreading “The Good News” of God’s Word and His Kingdom Government.

Which is soon to take affirmative action in fulfilling God’s will for mankind.

Not to mention, by which kingdom and the King, the making all things are certain to be “Yes!” and through which the outworking of fulfilled prophecy is to come about.

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, or “The Anointed”, “The Holy Anointed”, “The John Class”, "The little flock" Lu 12;32. and known by other titles and variations of these mentioned. (Saints in other faiths).

Were used by, and guided by, the Holy Spirit, with the primary focus to direct the preaching work and to provide “His domestics, with their food at the proper time”. In addition to announcing God's Kingdom and putting the World on notice.

The, faithful Anointed, and those of “the other sheep” class, John 10;16, (those of J.W.s. who have the hope of living forever on earth) who are part of the group who gets to welcome back lost ones and relatives in the promised “Resurrection on the last day”, Jo 11;25,26.

“Two flocks, one Shepheard”, Jo 10;16 .

These all served whole souled, together, even giving their lives, their funds and even their last breath to serve The Kingdom of God, in hopes that just one would “Come to an accurate knowledge of truth” 1 Tim2;4, and this one too could have the joyful hope of life in paradise under God’s loving care with a perfect bond, they (the faithful) and He (God), and receive everlasting life as a reward for their faith, both, the preacher and the hearer. John 17;3.

An unfaithful channel emerges.

These later, new ones, the “Unfaithful Slave”, the “Man of Lawlessness”, Stole and took the credit for the works of these, the former faithful stewards. 2 Thes 2;3,4. Tit 1;7, Lu 12;42.

Declaring themselves “Faithful and Discrete” Mt 24;45, while patting themselves on the back for it. (They just LOVE letting others know about their glory in service). Mt 11;16-19. Lu 3;7-8, Mt 23;1-12.

After stealing and taking glory in association with the Faithful Brothers. Mt 23; 27-32.

They took credit for their works as their own, they dismantled all the spiritual stocks Mal 1;13, that were built up to this day, sold off vast holdings of real-estate around the world, bundled up the funds and produced inferior propaganda and lies and peddled it as spiritual food. Lu 12; 16-21, Pr 20;23.

They then built a big home or castle for themselves, naming it, “The NEW WORLD HEADQUARTERS” Da 4;29,30. Hypocrites, "Jerusalem Above" is the Headquarters of the Kingdom, is it not? Ga 4;26, offspring of vipers Mt 23;33.

All while bowing before and serving a new god of their own making, a Bible full of unclean things, an Idol, made from calf skin. Ex 32;4, 2 Ki 17; 16-18.

And because they were in the seat of Moses Mt 23;2, all the rest, that is, the sheep, the congregations of J.W.s. and the branches etc. worldwide, blindly followed. Jer 21;1,2, 2 Cor 4; 3,4, Pr 28; 10,

Mt 24; 36-42.

All these are currently serving Satan’s wishes, Lu 4;13, becoming Apostate and alienated from the living God. Eph 2; 1,2. With success, Satan has blinded their eyes 2 Cor 4;4, 1 Tim 4;1,2, that they might not have a good standing or conscience with God or before the King Christ Jesus’ throne.

2 Thes 2;3, "The Apostasy must come first". If the Apostasy was to come before the End.

Shouldn't we have expected it? Ja 1;3, 1 Pet 1; 3-7. Were not ALL His disciples to be tested in connection with the Christ?? Zec 13;7.

They say God was wrong!

These ones, J.W.s., from the start, you of the world rejected as being ‘an insignificant cult’ and even being persecuted in every land, just as was written they would be, you did to them. As has always been the way for God’s approved ones. Mt 21;42, Mt 10; 23, 23; 34, Lu 21; 12, Jo 15;20.

At the appointed time, prior to 2012, others stood up as though, “Chosen by spirit”.

These decided ‘they too were to be counted as of the Anointed’ (Saints in some circles) to finish off the number that was to amount to 144,000 as indicated by Apocalypse / revelation. Rev 14; 1-6.

Here is their short sightedness and ignorance.

By their reckoning, The Living God, made a mistake! He fell short of the mark. Hypocrites, foolish ones. And all the rest just fell into line. Not Me! Ez 18; 25,29.

I hope there were others who had their eyes open.

Ask yourselves; If, they, were to “Replace ones who failed to remain faithful so that they might “Attain the upward calling”. Heb 3;1.

Then according to their reckoning, Jehovah, Almighty God, the one knowing from the beginning, the finale. Didn’t know beforehand those who would betray him?

Why, Jesus himself said of Judas, that he knew what he would do, correct? Mt 26; 21.

So, if Jehovah and Jesus knew who would remain to make up the final number, then they also would not suddenly realize they needed more, would they?

These ones then are illegitimate sons. Heb 12;8. These very ones are those prophesied by Jesus as being seated at the marriage feast but having gotten in some other way. Mt 22; 11-13.

Also, They are identifiable as the ones not having on a marriage garment, and the foolish virgins, Mt 25; 1-13, those with no oil in their Lamps.

Plus those who fell asleep while on the watch, and on, and on. Mr 13; 34-38.

Yes! These ones were also known to be coming, after the chosen 144,000 had been sealed in heaven. The Apostle Paul said, “The End cannot come until the Apostasy comes first”, 2 Thes2;3.

Likewise, Moses penned, “At the END of the days, you will turn to doing bad”, Deut 31;29b. Also, all these have proved to be; “the Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees” of whom Jesus Said "Watch out". Did He not??? Mt 16;6, Ga 5;9, Mt 13; 24-30.

He also warned of the possibility that these new ones "IF ever that slave should say in his heart, My master is delaying", that is, demonstrating a lack of faith by not waiting for the Lord Jesus' arrival whole souled. Which they did by revamping the entire organisation and the available spiritual food. By doing this they Brought in propaganda and commenced “beating their Brothers”, they stole money’s and built themselves a castle, a home, complete with a tower and mote and a Bible theme park. This 'Park' and their presence are indeed a “Disgusting thing where it ought not” be, Mt 24;49,

24;15.

A secret society

I recall the day's when the Brothers were proud of their little Kingdom Halls, not selling them off.

I recall hearing stories of those who served at bethal, even in Brooklyn, before they were sold off.

I remember, a local Brother invited to speak with a news crew, for the evening news. Mt 5; 16.

The Brothers welcomed the madia!

No! No media allowed! Jo 3;19, Mt 5;15. Where once the Brother’s welcomed publicity and every opportunity to declare the good news Ro 1;16, of something better, Heb 6; 9-12, 11; 39,40, to promote God’s good will Is 61;2, Ps 30; 5, and longsuffering toward mankind Ro 9; 21-29, along with his undeniable promises for the future. Jer 29; 11-14, to lift us all from bondage to a dying System of things under Satan's control, John16; 11.

Now though, they are turned away. A secret society, a closed door is all that is found, hiding in the shadows as is they are afraid and wanting to hide away, where they feel comfortable. Mt 21;13, Is 60; 2, Jo 3;19. Unless of course they are seeking glory. Jer 45; 5.

Avenues for complaint are restricted and as I have recorded, they have molested God’s Word,

Rev 22; 18,19, and encouraged building upon the sand, Lu 6; 49 instead of digging down deep,

Lu 6; 47,48.

They have made the Watchtower study article private, a secret society is what they have made,

Lu 12; 3.

They attack the faith recorded in the historical record of ones saying, “They only did what they did because God made them”. So says the footnote on page 1735 of the new Grey Ghost Bible they 'love to touch', "The name Jehovah may includes this IDEA, ..... (His name's meaning ) includes what he causes to happen with regard to his creation and the accomplishment of His purpose". Hypocrites, who made you do what you have done? In effect, they are saying and have said, that ones of faith "like Gideon, ... did what they did because Jehovah made them to fulfil his purpose".

Also slandering Joseph, son of Israel and others in the same manner. Thus annulling "Free will" in the process.

Can't you, or they see who would be behind painting The God "Who IS Love" as a bulie?

Other blasphemies and threats are listed in my earlier Blogs. All of this the congregations lapped up,

2 Tim 4;3,4. Ez 20; 27-35.

When the older generation returns in "The resurrection" Acts 24;15, I'm sure their toes will curl.

And I don't doubt for a minute they will 'wince' at hearing these things.

They also removed the channel for spiritual blessing, saying; “We are the hands that feed you”.

See the Watchtower magazine, July 15, 2013, article "Feeding many through the hands of a few". In it they state categorically that the spiritual food afforded to the Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses is through them and from them. What's the problem? They utterly ignore the Spiritual channel through which ALL blessings come. From God, By means of Holy Spirit and seen to by The Christ and the Holy Angels. Also the box If ever that Evil Slave on page, 24 of the same magazine. In it they say that any judgement of them is "Hypothetical".

Can you see why I am so infuriated with the Arrogance of these ones and their "Enablers".

As with in many religions around the globe, the sheep are without a real home, while they dwell in "peace and security" in their Ivory Tower and Bible theme park. (Idolatry)

Meanwhile; the Tears; of the children, the widow and the fatherless boy, The Scattered Sheep, amass clear to heaven. Ezekiel 34. etc.

Cross reference that, not in your new piece of trash, "The Grey Ghost".

I suggest you use the old reference Bible, If you dare.

No wonder Jehovah himself declared. “I, I will gather back my sheep that you men have scattered”, Ez 34; 7-31. Yes! These one’s are an unfaithful bride class, “The Queen of the Harlots”, Rev 17;5.

Judgement how?

Jesus said regarding the judgement of his own, ‘one will be taken, the other abandoned’, Mt 24; 32-47, who & why?

He, later went on to explain the means of this sorting work, the Sheep from the Goats,

Mt 25; 31-33.

He explained; “I was in prison, sick, hungry etc. You fed me, - you comforted me - you came to me”, Mt 25; 34-40, these showed love and compassion and were appreciated, and so, then they were blessed. Those blessed had reason to be happy and even pleased with their service. For they will hear "Well done, faithful slave", Mt25; 21.

The others, “You did not comfort, - feed, - weep, or - come to my aid”, Mt 25; 41-46. These ones were to be cut off.

How does this apply? Jesus went on to say, “Because you did, or did not, do it to the least of my Brothers", I take it personally, it is how you treated me!

I personally have seen this play out, time and again, like a school yard where the ‘cool kids rule’, but to 'maybe' eventually realise, their glory is an illusion!

Of course, in the Christian congregation, as in Islam or any other religion, I’m sure those in power often do not realize the carnage they leave in their wake. No! nor would believe it to even be so.

Those within the “Inner Circle”, that is the group loved, are shown honored and cared for by the many, even those on the outside. 2 Cor 5; 11-13.

While those who are barely holding on are given token love or are judged, as bad association, as Goats and shoved aside. Not always intentionally but the result is the same, 1 Jo 4; 7-11.

They start with a the rumour 1 Tim 5; 13, and close ranks on anyone not loved by the group, and the fate of those cast aside is sealed. Right? Lu 6; 37-46. Never may that be the case, nor should this continue, ever.

See the Blog Increasing lawlessness.

Imitate The Christ

Jehovah knows exactly who has genuine love in their hearts. The kind that is in imitation of the example set by the Christ. An example which mirrored the Father, Col 1; 13-20, exactly, “If you have seen me, you have seen the father also” John 10; 48, 14; 8-15, 17; 19 + 24-26, Jesus said.

How the Church and congregation treat others.

Did they figuratively see Jesus? Obviously not. These ones that The Inner Circle rejected seem to forget that Jesus own family were ordinary common folk and his close friends, and beloved, were prostitutes and sinners, tax collectors Mt 4; 18-22, 11; 19, 21; 28-32, Mr 2;15, Lu 4; 38,39, 8; 1-3, Mt 27; 55,56, These were all 'common' folk, ordinary and unglorified. Among the ranks of even his disciples were even homosexuals and others you look down upon, 1 cor6; 9-11, Oh no! Could that be? Yes!...... Did you not read that part? How can anyone make the changes if they are ostracised?

And even If they cannot adjust their lifestyle, we are not to judge as unfit for life, are we?

By treating ALL with a little dignity and respect, we are imitating Jesus' example! Not to say that all things are to be promoted as good. Children need a stable upbringing, not anything goes, Pr 22;6.

It is important to note that even Jesus acknowledged that the changes that an individual may desire to make, are for some imposible. When discussing the life course of being single in service of The Lord, He said, "Let him that CAN make room for it, make room for it", Mt 19; 12.

Even so, his disciples were not expected to leave their wives, were they? Some single men can make these changes to become a "Eunuch", with respects a Bible based lifestyle.

That being the case, some may live a life contrary to Bible standards as the goal to reach!

Simply put, A female brain in a male body, or visa versa is not an easy thing for one's to ignore.

For some, to change WHO they are is impossible.

Some of Jesus disciples were "Washed clean" so to speak, and were able to change their personal desires. 1 Cor 6; 11. But I don't think that is possible for many.

"All things are possible with God" Mt 19; 26. In time, I'm sure, if they are seeking a clear conscience, The Holy Spirit can make any adjustments in "the force actuating their minds" and create a new clarity and focus, in harmony with a restored Paradisaic community, Eph 4; 20-24.

I realise this is a touchy subject and potentially a powder keg of emotion. But my intention is to make known that "With God, all things are possible for those who have faith!" Also to emphasise, "He cares for you" 1 Pet 5; 7, and wants you to thrive and be happy. Ro 4;8. He Is the Happy God!

So then, how should you have welcomed and treated ones drawn by Jehovah himself, by Holy Spirit as he offered to them His tender affection? Ro 15; 7, "Just as the Christ welcomed us."

As a group, you should have welcomed these 'lowly one's', they should have felt befriended and loved. But no! 1 Pet 4; 8.

You marked these as “Unacceptable”. Oh! He has committed adultery, that's why they moved here.

Or, she wears funny cloths, or too much make up for my liking! Grumble Grumble Grumble, Murmur, Murmur, Murmur. And so it goes. You crush their spirit, and their gone. Mt 12;20.

Hypocrites, who really is the one unacceptable, the one you reject, or the one the Messiah rejects and deems unfit to approach the throne of The Living God.

If you did not treat “The least of these my Brothers, as you would me” then “I never knew you, get away from me you workers of lawlessness. I never knew you” was his judgement.

Don't you know this???? Lu 13; 22-30.

The results of rejection

Many, like me who have faired badly; for whatever reason.

Divorcee, Gay, Mental or phycological illness, or just too plain and ordinary and not up to their standards, were simply not invited to be a part of your little flock, your beloved Inner Circle, and so could never be welcomed, even before God.

In Christendom they in effect are "Condemned to Hell", just because they are 'not one of us'.

Why would anyone grappling with personal issues try to change their behaviour if they were already sentenced to "Hell". Although 'Hell' does not exist as they teach it.

You work it out.

If the words for 'Hell' Sheol and Hades are literally translated as, "Pit or Grave". And God finds the Burning of people abhorrent, then who's teaching is it to paint My God as a cruel bully??? Jer 32; 35.

Those others who you welcomed, you rushed to love, us though! Well.

You pardoned yourselves, saying; they are just not like us, they are lacking, not deserving of our affection. How could we be, we are ‘Goats’, not fit for everlasting life, in effect?

That is why many fell away, not because they didn’t measure up, but because you hated us.

In general; love was seen in the congregation, but not felt by all.

This was to be the identifying mark that we belonged to Jesus, wasn't it? What happened?

Jo 13; 34,35.

How can such ones attain something they do not see? Why would they search if it were not attainable? Mt 6; 7-11.

It would only take one person to say; “I’m not sure about that one” and our destiny was sealed. And once we were gone you said, “See, they were Goats, we were right to reject them” and off you went, secure in your holiness. Is that how you would welcome Jesus or, maybe someone like Mary, his good friend? Lu 7; 36-39. Even his disciples did could not see within her heart as jesus could,

Mt 26; 6-13.

That however is exactly what you do. These ‘Least ones’ that you rejected; Jesus adores, and he will call back and glorify.

All of you who have been picky about who to love, in effect, judging, have, in fact, been judging yourself. Jesus said “Stop judging” did he not? Lu 6;37.

So, by your own actions you have been in fact ‘judging yourself’.

God's Love will Overcome

I do not know who will be standing with a clear conscience 1 Pet 3; 21, or maybe who may yet attain to repentance 2 Pet 3;9, after being humiliated and yet remain, or, who will be told, “I never knew you! You workers of lawlessness”, Mt 7;23.

Too bad for them, their own ways will come upon their own heads. They did not put on the new personality at all, “Foolish ones”, Joel 3;7.

You said in your hearts, “At the end of the day, I, I will look after my own”. Hypocrites, why, and in whose name, were you baptized? Were you not washed clean in the blood of the lamb? The free gift of forgiveness of sin? Who then did you swear to love. His Sheep? Mt 28; 18,19., Mr 23; 28,29.

You! You, nullify His Blood's, 1 Pet 1; 17-21, redeeming value by your rejecting the very Law you swore to uphold, Jo 13; 34,35. Not the Mosaic Law code, No! The Law of Love, God’s perfect Law.

Lawlessness and self-serving hearts you have. Jehovah says, “they always go astray in their hearts”, Heb 3;10, Nu 14; 11, Ps 78; 8.

Could you Elders or Older men have done more?

The Goats however will be cherished and adored, the ones you let down with your, so called judicial cases. "We need more evidence", you said, again and again, Really? Really, should not the tears of an entire family be enough. Call the Police, Call for the Magistrate, the Judge. If you cannot set things straight, maybe they can.

And anyone is called a Brother or Paster or some other title, and stupid enough to close the door with a child in the room with them, ALONE. He is either an idiot or had wrong intensions, 1 Pet 5; 2-4.

Should such a man be in a position of responsibility?

If a man walked into your congregation meeting waving a gun, you would call the outside for help! Right! Why not then to protect the innocent children?

Jehovah God knows exactly what happened to who, by whom, and when. Hide it from Him, you hypocrites.

Tell Him “We have no proof, so we will do nothing”, I do realise that even in the law of the lands, proof can be hard to find. But when you are unable to settle matters effectively, then you counsel the victim, “You show Christian love and sit with the guilty”!

Especially if he is one of your own or an appointed man, he is disciplined, and before long it is as though nothing had happened.

You know how The Holy One feels about the one with no helper. Don’t you? Ps 68; 5, 146; 9.

Or are you, His people ones with eyes painted on, with the same brush as the rest of religion?

You know who you are!

As for those who claimed to love even me, and enquired about me, where was my visit?

Where were the Shepherds? Where was my comfort or prayers of the (holy) ones, over me? How many times has the neglect I found "Among God's Peoples", among Jehovah's Witnesses that is, been repeated the world over and in the past 100yrs?

As for each one, Jehovah knows what his heart is. He has appointed a righteous judge. Jesus loved the common folk, those rejected by The Pharisees, he loved.

He will remember me, and the millions like me. As for me, I’ve been alone, none of the fine weather friends are nowhere to be seen.

Who needs them, when loneliness has been raining on me for a decade, Of course I'm never alone.

I will certainly see the day come once again when God’s name is glorified in the Earth and his light shines forth for the ones seeking it. Ps 97; 11, 112; 4, Acts 26; 13.

Two Roads or One?

Question: have you read the Gospel accounts at all. You are quick to associate yourselves as being associated with, “The Sheep”, “Those on the narrow road” and “the Great Crowd” are you not?

Mt 7; 14, Rev 7; 9. And rightly so, as the workman is worthy of his wages, correct?

But why do you label those on the broad road as distasteful, rejected and as Goats, just another person on the road to destruction. Mt 7; 13. A part of Satan’s world?

You show me where is says that those “on the broad road” are GOING to be destroyed! It doesn’t say that does it?

I don’t know about you, but I know my God is a “Giver of Life”, not death. He does not even desire to destroy the wicked! Does He? 2 Pet 2;3. Rev 2;10.

What about Nineveh? Jon 3;5, Mt 12;41.What about Gibeon? Josh 9; 1-27. Take note please of Jehovah's judgement. Verse 23 indicates that at Joshua's word, Gibeon, a condemned Group, were given the privilege of serving along side the Levites. A place reserved only for the tribe of Levi.

Just to site 2 examples of peoples who were from an outside view 'already judged'.

You however, by placing yourself on the narrow road, do so at the exclusion of all others.

My God, Jehovah, The Living God, who “Is Love” is a merciful God is “Ready to forgive, pardoning error to the thousandth generation for those loving him" Deut 5;9,10. So, where is the flaw? Not in Him, but in your reasoning. “You are not adjusted right”. Ez 18;25-29.

Daniel also spoke of “Many”, just like the “Many” on the broad roa, Da 12; 10.

He indicates a different attitude towards mankind was in store than a blanket judgement, Da 12; 1-3.

Like in Revelation when speaking of the peoples from every tribe nation and tongue, he, Daniel says by inspiration; “’Many’ will rove about and whiten themselves and become clean”.

That is, when Michael stands up and clarification of thought and Holiness will enable, “MANY” to change their standing before the Throne and The Lamb.

If these are in fact the same ones, “the MANY”, as those who come out of “The Great Tribulation”, which to me sounds logical.

Then those who are the “Many” may in fact be “those on the broad road”.

Being from every “tribe, nation and tongue”, this likely would include ones from every religion, faith and denomination, including the “Apostate” Jehovah’s witnesses, who have joined the ranks of those before them, who deviated from the path might yet gain God's blessing. Yes? Or No?

The Great Tribulation (this destruction by man we see all around see Blog #20

"The great Tribulation") is likely closely linked very closely Armageddon, the culmination of the failure and removal of the world’s rulers and religions, Rev 16; 16.

Again, nowhere that I can see does the Bible indicated mass killing is a prefered option, other than that of those who opposed Jehovah’s way forward, like Egypt and in Noah’s day.

Apart from those who were “bad all the time’, Ge 6; 5. Whatever it is that lay’s ahead, I know that My Father will save before destroy, 1 Jo 4;8.

The illustration of the broad road does not indicate that destruction is guaranteed.

“MANY” will change their standing before God. So then, STOP Judging and please stop elevating self, in comparison to your Brother.

You are probably on the broad road in this time period.

In fact, the illustration of the two roads is in regard to those of whom Jehovah God is estimating the heart. Correct?

If, those on the “Narrow and cramped road are to receive the reward of life, and the others potentially could miss out, then does not this indicate they are God’s very own peoples on both? That is, those on his radar?

For example, an employer pays the wages of those who did what was asked, correct?

Those who did not show up for work or didn’t complete the required work acceptably, have not really earned the wages, have they? These then potentially are not in line to receive the blessings.

However, recall Jesus’ illustration about the employer. Those who did few hours, still got paid the same rate as those who did many, Mt 20; 1-16.

The reward for faithfulness, despite correction, is the same for those who don’t get off track. Compared to those who need a little help to light up the roadway to life, Ps 119; 105.

If Jehovah can He will save any, correct?

ALL of God’s people are in line for wages, that is, everlasting life by God’s free gift, Rev 22; 17, and due to the redeeming value of the Blood of our Lord. Rev 7; 10. These are still in the “Book of life”, Rev 20;15.

Some, however, who are like a saucepan of burnt porridge, will not be.

These are the ones who hide what they are, sit with you for a meal and say “Amen”, they engage in all the norms of spiritual life, but it is a front, Jude 1; 11-14.

Lacking faith and understanding they will seek their own advantage at the expense of others, if push came to shove. These really do not enter the light, Jo 3; 19-21, nor know the fear of Jehovah at all, that is to love him deeply. Ec 12; 13,14.

Likewise, those who have found themselves on the ‘broad road’ are walking ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with ones ‘unfit’ for life everlasting, while some may still attain it. Mt 24; 36-44.

As this section has already discussed.

It is Our Lord that Judges; for Jehovah God, not me. Also, when these who have been judged begin to show what they are and begin to fall away, we must not follow them, let them go, no matter how hard to watch. Remember Achan, Jos 7; 10-26, and the "Wife of lot", Lu 17;32.

Use your funds and energy wisely.

Please, you of other faiths, Stop giving your money to religious leaders. God’s word says, “You receive free, give free”, Mt 10;8. Shouldn’t that apply to them also. Shouldn’t they “Give free”, it is God’s gift, not theirs. It should not be a burden for you to bare, so they can take it easy. “If he will not work, don’t let him eat”, 2 Thes 3;10. And 1 Tim 5;8; “Take care of your own family first”. “If a man does not take care of his own household, he is worse than a person without faith”, 1 Tim 5; 8.

Jesus was also critical of those not caring for their parents and getting away with it by saying, "Anything by which you could gain benefit, is a gift dedicated to God". Nullifying any obligation to care for or show 'honour' to the parents. so says the scriptures, Mr 7;11.

The Apostle Paul, or St Paul was a Tent maker by trade. He said he would work “so as NOT to be an expensive burden on the congregations”, 1 Thes 2;5-9. Providing for his own needs and his ministry and setting a precedent for all. He didn’t quote an outdated law code to support being lazy, did he? Religions world-wide are in Clover while people on their doorsteps or seated in pews are going hungry. How is that Christlike?

We are also told in God’s word, in no uncertain terms, “If he will not work, do not let him eat”,

2 thes 3; 10.

As far as I know, within the organisation generally, Jehovah’s witnesses did not receive a wage for service.

I do believe however full time workers at Bethel branches, Regional Hub's for distributing the preaching activities and spiritual food from the Brothers, received what was referred to as “Toothpaste money”, a small allowance for essentials.

The Governing body today who holds the “Money Box” as did Judas, have free reign to print, build and take whatever they want. What else they do with the funds, ‘I do not know’?

These men have done the same as that which historically eventuated in other faiths as well.

They are taking the "free gift" of God, His Word, and use their authority it as a means of business.

To manipulate others for their own glory, for their own ego's and for profit.

Whether realizing it or not, they also are imitating, exactly, those in the temple. Of whom Jesus became angry, one of the only times I can recall this happening.

He went into the Temple, enraged that these men were changing money, for profit, in the Temple and "after overturning the tables of coins he said. "Stop making the house of my Father into a cave of robbers", Mt 21;13.

Interestingly, this event happened after "Inspecting the Temple", a warning for all.

Today religious leaders worldwide are imitating these very ones. Do they really think Jesus will give them a pat on the back with commendation, what do you think?

They teach the word of God, that's if they even do that, and taking this "free gift"" from God, they sell it to you.

Are they really any different also to those in centuries past who hid God's word in Latin translation by the Clergy and only made what they wanted the peoples to hear, would they vomit up. Why? Power and Profit.

These Clergy who hid God's Word from the masses, were they serving Jesus' interests in shepherding the flock? They made God's word 'only' available through themselves, why. Control and power! And a tradition is born.

Similarly, today, men have seated themselves in a position of power, 'in God's name' so to speak and use this to take your money, your devotion, your obedience. Just like Judas, Jo 13; 29, the Money Changers, the Clergy who hid God's word for profit, just as today.

Where did that lead Judas? Mr 14; 11.

Jesus threw the money changers out of the Temple, are you men similarly ready for humiliation?

Tithes are taken, despite being an instruction ONLY for support of the priesthood IN ISRAEL for the Son's of Aaron. And ONLY prior to the end of the Abrahamic covenant which was sealed in 70C.E. or A.D. if you like. Duet 26; 12, Lu 16;16. Da 9; 24-27. Jesus was the one "Cut off, at the half of the week". When jerusalem was destroyed and the Jewish genealogical records were destroyed. The Covenant ceased entirely. However 'the Law' was Nailed to the stake with Jesus, indicating all things were fulfilled and final. Do the research yourself.

You men wish to drag it back from the dead as a means of support for your activities.

Well intentioned or not, you are in fact fighting against God's Will, this is in fact what you have done.

Why are you not imitating Paul, "Not to be an expensive burden upon the congregations"? Lazy slaves!

Is money all you serve? Then that is all you will know! Mt 6; 24.

There are greater things than money. It is here today and spent tomorrow, often with nothing to show for it. Certainly not greater than dedication, devotion or loyal love is it?

Try, mercy and empathy for a start, these are free, but those who have these things you fleece.

The flock belongs to the 'fine Shepherd', but you take from the flock that which belongs as an inheritance for the little Lambs, their children. Jo 10; 7-15.

What gives you the right to go to those who clearly are in need of love and support, even in dire times, just to slide an envelope across the table, with a smile and a thank you?

While you wait till it's full of their last Drachma! You are debt collectors, collecting what does not belong to you. Thieves is what you are. But you say, 'it is for God'. Does God need money? Foolish ones. Some even force Ten percent of a 'Will' upon the death of a devotee. Putting further burden and hardship upon those entitled to and deserving an inheritance. Nu 18; 20, indicates that God's view is that the peoples are entitled to an inheritance, NOT the priests. So to take theirs from them I'm sure makes him shudder.

J.W.s, although not Tithing, make regular announcements. Not for 10% but leave it all to us. Greedy pigs! How have you men earnt this? Are you the next of Kin or are you too serving the dollar and not God. They Too 'beat the sheep'.

All of you leaders even take from "The Widow", even one suckling a newborn, Blind ones!

But at least you do it with a smile.

When the Governments of men, comes knocking upon your door, don't be surprised.

Revelation describes your downfall, being mourned by those you loved. Rev 17; 9-20; Too Bad, they all will say.

They will be expecting back taxes. Maybe for 100s of years for some of you. "Too Bad" for you then.

How will you 'typically' respond? An even heavier burden upon the congregations.

It's O.K. The Flock, The Church, the Devotees will pay, is what will follow. While you yourselves will shirk any responsibility, nor carry any of the real load.

Give it up, 'stupid ones', let go of the nuts! You are like a monkey with his hand in a jar, full of nuts he won't let go while he starves to death. Will you let it go????

Do you think the hand of God is short? Or he can't provide? If he doesn't, then it's not really important, is it?

What counsel is there in God's word regarding 'Voluntary' donations?

Paul felt compelled to spell out, in some detail, the attitude and readiness of those, in a position of authority and inclined to assist and support the preaching of the good news. 2 Corinthians 9.

Take particular note of verse 7. How does your version of the Christian Greek scriptures read.

Mine, the New World Translation says; "Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or UNDER COMPULSION, for God loves a cheerful giver". 2 Cor 9;7.

Notice the chapter is written due to a need of "the holy ones", that is, to support their ministry in a dire time of need.

Are These ones demanding or coercing the flock in your church, really holy ones or in dire need?

Are they providing a Holy service that cannot be supported without your assistance? Is their work really God ordained and even necessary?

Look at the way they speak, the commands and devotion they expect, of them or even of the Christ or God. Is there a sinister undertone?

Do they tell one's things like; "You must accept the Christ or go to Hell"? Do they describe ones who are not measuring up as sinful a rejected by God?

Remember the sense of the ministry of Jesus, what attitude did he convey toward all.

Those who listened and those he knew would reject his words and in time, him?

Remember God's prophetic word he fulfilled, "Look my servant whom I chose, my beloved, whom my soul approved! I will put my spirit upon him, and what justice is he will make clear to the nations. He will not wrangle, nor cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the broad ways. No bruised reed will he crush, and no smoldering flaxen wick will he extinguish, until he sends out justice with success. In his name nations will hope", Matthew 12: 18-21.

Recall, he was even available to the little children, Mt 19; 14.

Not as a front of false humility, but as a loving benefactor and our father. Father not with a capital F.

He was not seeking man's approval or the limelight. He was simply available for those he came across. He did not judge ones as being 'bruised' or barley aglow as nothing, did he?

He has love for all and even greater hopes.

So, why do you men from some religions condemn ones from Christianity as something to be vomited out?

Why do you Jews look down from their Pias pedestals upon the 'Dogs'.

Why does Christendom condemn all not 'accepting the Christ in their hearts' as condemned.

Jesus said stop judging, but that's all you do!

If your leaders and their ministries reflect a sense of demarcation, of segregation and even racism, or any other form of judging of others; saying things like these just mentioned, why give them a cent, a shilling, a drachma or a moment of your time?

IF, there is a need, and as Paul indicated that "you have resolved in your heart". Do what you want, they are your funds, time, devotions. But not 'begrudgingly, or under COMPULSION', 2 Cor 9; 7.

Numbers

Prior to the 2012 Apostasy that took ahold of the Jehovah's Witness organisation. Although they avoided 'Tithing' etc, there was one thing that the ‘Faithful Organization’ did over the past decades that never sat well with me.

That is the counting of hours in the ministry and the counting of (active) witnesses etc.

I always felt this was a (seemingly necessary) though divisive tool.

A measure which I feel was an impetus for discrimination and the hindering of Christian love or “widening out”.

Due to these taking statistics, ones are easily left behind, “you are either with us, or against us”, “helping with the kingdom preaching or not”, "You are either an active or inactive J.W.s.".

I know, personally, I often felt inadequate in service as my circumstances didn’t allow me to do the more that I desired to do.

Seeing others regularly reach targets such as pioneer hours was a constant reminder of my failings.

I realize that the giving glory to those reaching out in service was a thankyou to those able to achieve these goals, and an encouragement for others to imitate. And as the preaching “of the good news” was vital in fulfilling this God given commission, so, needed to be promoted. Still, the sad result was that, many of the one’s restricted or simply unable to share in the work, either to the full or at all, were left feeling inadequate and not good enough.

Especially as the Brothers would ask, personally, and in meetings “When will you be pioneering” Etc. This potentially marked ones as of lesser value.

Leaving me and I’m sure, others, feeling as did Paul, “miserable man that I am, , Ro 7;24. And "what I do is not what I want to do, and what I do is not good enough”, Luke 17;10 & 1 Cor 9;27.

In doing so, stripping them of dignity and labelling them as unworthy, intentionally or not.

I can see the logic for the numbers, but the line of demarcation did not seem Christlike.

Jesus' example

I’m sure he welcomed ones to him who were not capable for whatever reason. In addition to these reasons, the “Numbering” reminded me of the account of David numbering Israel, despite warnings not to do so, and the resulting heartache for men and God, 2 Sa 24; 10-25.

David, in my mind, he possibly changed times and seasons in doing this. Essentially, he changed the future.

A future out of line with God’s path for salvation and potential disaster was put before Israel and the required fulfillment of prophecy, even possibly the arrival of Messiah.

If numbering peoples is not necessary, I personally would steer clear of it.

Of course, I imagine setting limits for communities for environmental reasons in the future is the course of wisdom. For everything must be sustainable. And maybe there will be a need for other things like convention numbers etc. But these I’m sure only need to be an estimate, with flexibility built in. Anyway, I’m getting off track AGAIN, lol.

The scriptures encourage, “Let all things take place decently and by arrangement” and could be added, With Love, 1 Cor 14;40.

My 2 cents worth

If any decision is in favor of one over another then that’s not ideal, is it?

Don’t become so caught up in righteousness that fun goes out the window, while restriction comes in the door.

Train your children with definite targets to reach, so they may grow to be completely competent, fully equipped, and unmovable from what it good. Able to withstand various trials and most importantly, still come off smiling.

A life worth living.

Jehovah God want us to LIVE and enjoy the things he has, and will shower upon us.

He loves you! Even if you feel he can’t love me because of the things I have done, He loves the person he knows you are tomorrow. 1 Jo 3; 19,20.

Don’t forget, He, The Living God, is with you always, in an instant of time, through the good times and the bad. Is 26; 4.

Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Tell him about it, Rev 8; 1 & 3 he is listening. 1 Pet 5; 7; "Throw your anxieties upon Him, He cares for you". Yes!, You!

By all means, whatever path you have trod, put the lessons learned in your back pocket, to be drawn upon in future days. When yet again, someone might try to mislead you or others.

Walk the road of life, with purpose and direction, with achievable goals while putting in a full days work, and may all your days prove successful.

Enjoy your life, and remember who you owe it to. He and our Lord deserve the glory, Now and forever. Amen!

I hope I haven't rattled on too much, be ready for change.

Man in expectation :)

The mash-up! "You must love Jehovah your God, with your whole Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength and keep His Commandments. If you do, you will be wise enough to bypass any trial with ease, and have an indefinitely lasting name with The Living One. Those who fail to take these things to heart, will suffer shame and fall short in a large way, all that is his, will be destroyed and cease to exist.

You who love Him, however, will flourish with joy, under the tent cloths of Jehovah, always." Ecc 12:13, Mark 12:30 and Ps 37:18-20.
