Hello to all today:
Sick of that title???
Ever notice how often the term 'apostate' is used now in the WT articles. Very freely that slanderous accusation is made.
And when you glance across it, YOU KNOW the finger is pointed at YOU!
"STAY AWAY FROM SUCH DANGEROUS PEOPLE".........
Now let me quote a number one scripture that they use to disfellowship ones like me and I'm sure many of you all.
2JOHN 9-11
"EVERYONE THAT PUSHES AHEAD AND DOES NOT REMAIN IN THE TEACHINGS OF THE CHRIST DOES NOT HAVE GOD. HE THAT DOES REMAIN IN THIS TEACHING IS THE ONE THAT HAS BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON. IF ANYONE COMES TO YOU AND DOES NOT BRING THIS TEACHING, NEVER RECEIVE HIM INTO YOUR HOMES OR SAY A GREETING TO HIM. FOR HE THAT SAYS A GREETING TO HIM IS A SHARER IN HIS WICKED WORKS."
Now to those of us that were enlightened to the TRUE truth of the organization and how they themselves have seated themselves in place of the Christ calling themselves the visible christ on earth and whom we must answer to or else..... (JV Proclaimers bk page 219 par1-4)
WHO may I ask is pushing ahead??? Taking up a position that does NOT belong to them as a man-made corporation of "OTHER SHEEP."
Now replace the words "teachings of Christ" with the words "WTBS"
and what do yo have?
You see...I personally have remained in the Christ. That is what allowed me see that replacing THEM with HIM was what was blinding me to truth. Only then was I unveiled to see that they have been used as men in charge to enslave the 'seed of Christ.' GALATIANS 4
So....as a result in THEIR EYES, we are the APOSTATES.
But rejoice as JOHN 16:2 says, "Men will expel you from the synagogue.
In fact, the hour is coming when everyone that kills you will imagine he has rendered a sacred service to God. But they will do these things because they have not come to know either the Father or the son."
So 'pushing ahead' of a NON SPIRITED-DIRECTED organization is exactly what our lord wants us to do. Not pushing ahead of him is what he doesn't what.
So have a great day!
Really appreciated that scripture when it was read to me from six elders at our appeals committee.
