I see that you are greatly disturbed and afflicted, @Moise. I am truly very sorry for what you are going through at present. I am glad you have hope in what the Bible says about Jesus healing people. The Bible is true. Someday Jesus will heal you of all your maladies.

 

In the meantime, witnesses of Jehovah must bear witness to the truth. 

 

"Now because we have the same spirit of faith as that of which it is written: “I exercised faith, therefore I spoke”; we too exercise faith and therefore we speak..."

 

Jehovah's wrath is coming upon all those who are disobedient to His Word. It will start with His Name People.

 

"For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God. Now if it starts first with us, what will the outcome be for those who are not obedient to the good news of God?"

 

After Jehovah cleanses His Name People, then He will have us deliver a message to the nations. There is still a lot of preaching to do. Three and a half years from the time the UN attacks the Bethels. Jehovah will give us the strength, day by day.

 

@Moise, if you have nothing further to add to the conversation, I will bid you adieu for the evening. I hope you can have some peace this evening.

 

 "But the end of all things has drawn close. Therefore, be sound in mind, and be vigilant with a view to prayers.  Above all things, have intense love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.  Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.  To the extent that each one has received a gift, use it in ministering to one another as fine stewards of God’s undeserved kindness that is expressed in various ways.  If anyone speaks, let him do so as speaking pronouncements from God; if anyone ministers, let him do so as depending on the strength that God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. The glory and the might are his forever and ever. Amen."

On the contrary. I'm right as rain. You are the one that is disturbed and afflicted, that is in need of serious medical intervention. Can it be that you have been already disfellowshiped that you find it a need to blaspheme in the name of righteousness against the Org that cast you out as Jesus did the demons?

Once again, since you have committed the greatest sin against God's Holy Spirit, you can post whatever you want. You're just an amusement to me, and an upfront apostate to the rest.

Not for the moment. I will await for you to continue with your blasphemous adventure once you start posting your nonsense again. Call 988 so you can find peace of mind. My evenings and daily life are always at peace as a soldier of God.

2 Tim. 2:4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

2 Tim. 2:3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Rom. 13:4 for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.

Find PEACE AUDREY! Don't allow your condemnation to lead your children to the same path of destruction.

"I will lie down and sleep in peace, 

For you alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in security."

 

"It is because of Jehovah’s loyal love that we have not come to our finish, 

For his mercies never end.  

They are new each morning; your faithfulness is abundant. 

“Jehovah is my share,” I have said, “that is why I will show a waiting attitude for him.”

 

(May all of the little sheep enjoy a pleasant night's sleep under the Great Shepherd's watchful care.💖)

 

"I raise my eyes to the mountains. 

From where will my help come? 

My help comes from Jehovah, 

The Maker of heaven and earth.  

He will never allow your foot to slip. 

The One guarding you will never be drowsy. 

Look! He will never be drowsy nor go to sleep, 

The One guarding Israel.  

Jehovah is guarding you. Jehovah is the shade at your right hand. 

By day the sun will not strike you, 

Nor the moon by night.  

Jehovah will guard you against all harm. 

He will guard your life. 

Jehovah will guard you in all you do 

From now on and forever."

 

"May you be blessed by Jehovah, 

The Maker of heaven and earth.

...we will praise Jah 

From now on and forever.  

Praise Jah!"

I'm sure those that desire it. Those that are blessed by Satan, highly unlikely! 👹

Jesus is to be king. What does our sovereign say when he comes to judge "sheep and goats"?

 

"Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."

 

Who did Jesus say were his brothers? Only the Jews? Only a clergy class with a title? Only a handful of elders? Only those anointed to rule in heaven with him? No. This is what Jesus said:

 

"For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother."

 

How are those "brothers" to be identified? By the fact that they are doing Jehovah's will. What is Jehovah's will? To place magazines and invite people to the Memorial meeting? Is that what Jesus meant about "whoever does the will of my Father"? No. This is what Jesus said:

 

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another.  By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.”

 

What does that kind of love look like? Jesus illustrated it in the Good Samaritan story. Who was the one who was doing the will of Jehovah, was it the priest or the Levite? No. It was a non-Jew. A non-Jew was acting as a brother.

 

Who is really doing the will of Jehovah today? Who really is one of Christ's brothers?

 

Some who have the title of "Jehovah's Witnesses". Some who do not have the title of "Jehovah's Witnesses". 

 

Who is the one acting as a neighbor? Who is the one acting as a brother? Who is the one showing love? Who is imitating the love of God? Who is showing kindness? There are many people all over the earth with or without the label of "Jehovah's Witnesses" who are willing to "give a cup of water" or "visit the sick" or share a word of kindness, just like the Samaritan in Jesus' illustration. When these ones imitate God's love, they are Jesus' brothers. Jesus ransom is enough for them.

 

There are some who have the title of "Jehovah's Witnesses" who would walk right by a beat up man on the road. They walk right by their so-called "disfellowshipped" brothers. They walk right by so-called "worldly" people (just like the Pharisees walked by "am-haarets".) If these so-called "Jehovah's Witnesses" don't repent, then they are not Jesus' brothers. Jesus said even if they are saying "Lord, Lord, didn't we do all this stuff for you?" he will say "you are goats. Get away from me! I don't know you."

 

God is Love. Those who show Love are God's children. If they are God's children, then they are Christ's brothers. The ransom is enough for them.

 

Jesus is the king. He told us what he is looking for. He isn't the one who made all those "service report" requirements. His way is refreshing and his yoke is light. He is coming soon. 

 

"Repent! The Kingdom of the Heavens is drawing near!"

 

He will gather all the little sheep, wherever they may be found. 

He will cast out all the weeds, no matter how fancy they may appear, how many labels they wear, how many schools they've been to, how many magazines they've placed, how many talks they've given.

 

"Who really is my brother? Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother."

"Who really acted like a neighbor? Go and do the same way."

 

God lets the rain and the sun benefit all humans. We must love all humans. They are all made in God's image. God is not impartial. Jesus will do the judging at the proper time. We don't have to judge who to love and who not to love. We just have to love. We have to be cautious as serpents and innocent as doves, yes, but we do not judge anyone as not worthy of love. All humans can benefit from the ransom if they repent. They all have the potential to live forever. Jesus showed us love before we showed him love. Jehovah showed us love before we showed him love. We must imitate him and show love to others even before they show love to us.

 

"You heard that it was said: ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.  For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing?  And if you greet your brothers only, what extraordinary thing are you doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing?  You must accordingly be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

 

Our sovereign will judge righteously. He is the one who will say who is one of Jehovah's witnesses and he is the one who will truly "disfellowship" at the appointed time. He is the only one given that authority.

 

"Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.  For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably;  naked and you clothed me. I fell sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’  Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’  In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 

 

“Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.  For I became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat; and I was thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink.  I was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’  Then they too will answer with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’  Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’  These will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”

 

Praise Jehovah, the God of Love.

It appears Al-Basty strikes again.

Luke 22:19
New International Version
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

Abraham was Jehovah's friend. Before the Memorial was instituted.

 

"Now Jehovah is the Spirit, and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom.  And all of us, while we with unveiled faces reflect like mirrors the glory of Jehovah, are transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, exactly as it is done by Jehovah the Spirit."

 

Jehovah is Judge. Jehovah is Lawgiver. Jehovah is King. Jehovah is Our Father.

 

Praise Jehovah, Our Sovereign Lord Jehovah.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."
