  1. What an exciting evening! (Sorry if it rambles...)

     

    I was scared because I had to go into the "shark tank." Jehovah and Jesus went with me, and they totally rocked it!😆

     

    The COBE elder that kicked me out of the assembly a couple of weeks ago was so angry tonight! (He's kinda like Haman.)

     

    My husband is PIMI but he only attends about half the meetings. He calls me an apostate and gets mad if I say anything that isn't what the GB says. He didn't go to meeting tonight. I don't let my kids go to the KH unless I go, so the kids and I usually watch the meetings online. I didn't know if they would let me and the kids into the KH. (Since they just evicted us from the assembly a couple weeks ago at lunch because I talked to people and looked like I was happy and joyful.) As we were approaching the door of the KH tonight, the doorman saw me and let it slam shut and through the window I could see him, possibly looking for permission from an elder to see if I was "banned" or not. I knocked, and the visiting CO#2 cut in front of the doorman, opened up to let me in, escorting me right past the doorman! ("Jehovah Factor"😄)

     

    (There were two COs because I guess one was getting a "shepherding visit week" from the other one...)

     

    The CO#2 was awesome, a really kind gentleman who acted like a shepherd. CO#1 didn't recognize me at first because during his last visit I didn't attend because I thought the trespassing ban was still in place (although it had been removed but the COBE conveniently forgot to tell me. I found out when I went to his house just before the Memorial to ask, since they never respond to any messages I send either by email or letter.)

     

    (Incidentally, I wrote in an earlier Status Update about my experiences running into the CO#1 at the assembly a couple of weeks ago...)

     

    As soon as we got in the KH, the regular Pharisee-types were shocked and dismayed and frowned because my presence is worse than if a contagious yowling leper came in. However, the CO#1 started asking my kids' names, and the elder standing there conveniently forgot how to talk so the CO went through the greetings and asked me my name and I chatted with him for a moment. He figured out who I was after a bit and I think he was a little shocked. (I have written to him plenty about the stuff going on in the congregation - he never replies.)

     

    So, we walked toward the auditorium and put our stuff down in the middle of the second row from the front. My kids wanted to see their friends, and I got up to walk around a little too. When I passed by CO#2, he stopped me and kindly asked me my name. (The COBE and his wife were standing right next to him.) I answered the COs questions, and we chatted and he asked where else I was from and if I was doing hospitality at all during the week. I told him I came to support the CO visit, and that I would keep him in my prayers. He was so nice. I asked him for a hug, and he gave me a hug. All this time, the COBE and his wife had steam coming out of their ears almost, and finally the COBE grabbed the CO and said "Excuse me! She's been disfellowshipped for a year!" And the CO thought he was joking! So he laughed and said something like "oh, yeah, that's funny" and then the COBE said, "No, really!" And I said, "He is a liar." Because the COBE is a liar. He bears false witness about all kinds of things. And I walked to my seat.

     

    The meeting started shortly after. The kids and I sang heartily so everyone could hear our joy and affection for Jehovah. The hypocritical COBE was called up to pray. I did not bow my head. I kept my eyes open. That man is a snake. I refuse to say "Amen" to anything he has to say.

     

    During the Bible gems my kids got to comment. I put my hand up several times too, and everybody nearly had a heart attack. (Is there a rule that says a "disfellowshipped" person can't raise their hand?) Of course, they didn't call on me.

     

    The second song was a nice loud march. We've always been told to sing loud. I am obedient to that good counsel.

     

    The CO#1s talk started off pleasant enough. Until he mentioned the "recent apostasy and divisions" the congregation has had to deal with (he means me, since I sent emails to the "friends" to tell them the sketchy things the elders were doing.) Wasn't that nice of him to mention me in the talk! My kids got irritated with his smack talk, but Jehovah got us through it. I think he used maybe three or four scriptures, two of them misapplied. Most of the talk was about worshipping the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and how much they "have done for us".🤪

     

    I went because I love Jehovah and I knew He wanted me to go to at least one of the CO visit days, to show my support to the "friends" that I know this is the organization Jehovah is going to clean and that I haven't left of my own accord. (They know about all the details of the sketchy stuff the fake elders did because I informed them of every sketchy thing the elders did to my kids and me.) Part of why I went was to show love for the congregation. Very soon they are going to be in complete shock. I love those people, even though they are all mostly brainwashed at present. They will have a rude awakening soon enough because the GB and the Bethels will be gone when the UN attacks and the congregations are going to need to be comforted. 

     

    A nice brother said the closing prayers, so I said "Amen" to that one nice and clear. (The poor brothers on the platform were right in front me, there was no one sitting in the row in front of us.) After the meeting, my kids chatted for a little bit with friends and then we were going to leave. I said "hi" to a few people (that really irritates the COBE, that's not why I do it, I do it because Jehovah said to encourage the brothers and we can't if we don't talk to them...) 

     

    When we were leaving, CO#1 pulled my son aside to talk to him for a minute. The CO wanted me to go away, but I stayed right there, because I think it's rude to cause divisions in a family like what he was doing. The CO attempted to talk to my son about homeschooling right in front of me as if I didn't exist. I wasn't having any of it. I let him do his thing for a minute, and then I told him he was causing divisions, and if he didn't respect Jehovah's arrangement for family (like not talking to the mom who is part of the family) that he wasn't welcome to talk to my son. The COs not good association. Then we walked away.

     

    My daughter was in the library with her friend and her friends parents and two aunts (one is the wife of an elder.) As soon as I walked in - hush! Everybody stopped talking. I walked by them and told my daughter's friend I loved her and gave her a hug (I used to take her out in service together with my kids). I looked at the people in the room and said "I love you, even though I know you hate me, except for you...I know you love me" to one sister who I know is kind and real. Then we left and on the way out gave the other doorman who is like a grandfather a big hug and he said goodbye and kept waving as we drove off.

     

    What an evening! (Thank you for any positive thoughts directed my way! Jehovah is the Hearer of Prayer, and He does things with style!)

     

    "You well know that Jehovah your God is the true God, the faithful God, keeping his covenant and loyal love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.  But those who hate him he will repay to their face with destruction. He will not be slow to deal with those who hate him; he will repay them to their face." (Deuteronomy 7:9,10)

      John 12.24to28

      We just got back from the "service group." 

       

      We live only about a minute and a half from the KH. Last night my kids and I made brownies and we brought some to share with the two visiting COs and their wives. (Last night I had told the CO#2 that we were there to support the CO visit week, so that's why we went again this morning.)

       

      The COs were in their cars still when we got there. My daughter brought the brownies and cards to both COs wives and chatted a bit. One elder was on the pathway to the door, and since I know it would have made him uncomfortable if I talked directly to him, instead I said to my kids, "it's okay for me to sing, right?" And I sang a verse of "Oh! What a Beautiful Morning!" just loud enough for that elder to hear it. (He is a piano tuner and I always loved singing songs with him and his wife, she sings lovely harmony. They love music.) Then the kids and I walked to the KH, but were intercepted by two elders who said I couldn't go in because it wasn't a public meeting and I'm "not authorized to preach".😆

       

      My kids are both baptized. I said, "my kids want to support the visit. My husband is at work. I can go preach apart from the congregation, but why can't my kids and I just sit through the service meeting?" 

       

      The nicer elder felt bad and I think he would have said yes, but the Nazi Gestapo elder (who was one of the ones on my judicial hearing who bore false witness about me) said "no, and if you push it you will lose your privilege of attending public meetings too."

       

      I told him he is causing divisions in the family, like Diotrephes, throwing Jehovah's people out. 

       

      Then I said I loved them and I forgive him because I know he will repent eventually. I told the other elder again I loved him - I felt really bad for him because he looked so sad, he would have let us go in - and we walked to the car. The two COs were walking in at that point and trying to make a wide berth because they are afraid of catching "apostate-disease" and I waved and told them I loved them too. CO#1 thinks I am the very devil, but the CO#2 looked like he felt bad the guys were acting like such Nazis, so I told him "don't worry, Jehovah will fix everything in time." (I wrote that in the card my daughter gave him too, that I know he is a good shepherd and Jehovah will fix everything. I thanked him for working so hard. I don't envy what those brothers are going to have to go through very soon. May Jehovah give strength to the faithful ones who have been misled by the GB rhetoric all these years...) Then we got to say goodbye to some other friends in the parking lot and came home to make more brownies.

       

      😁Praise Jehovah💖
