May you all have peace!

I was asked the following, and by the spirit of my Father that is in me by means of my Lord, the following answers were provided:

what does HE think about what's going on now... what is it that God expects ppl to progress to exactly... why does he
continue to wait... why does he allow all of this stuff to continue to go on...

My Lord's answer was:

My Father is waiting on all those who are His... and we have not all come into THIS world, yet. He knows that no matter how bad the children of Satan get, His children will find their way back home, back to the Ark (of the Covenant), to Him. His allowance of time only seems drawn out to those who either don't know Him and could care less about those that may come after us, or those who are simply 'tired'.

What God is waiting on... and waiting for us to progress to... is transcending the FLESH... and entering into the spirit. Worshipping Him NOT by deeds of the flesh (no adultery, no homosexuality, no smoking, etc.), but by deeds of the SPIRIT (believing He exists, loving Him and His Son, LISTENING to them, loving your neighbor and feeding, clothing, and sheltering such one rather than judging and condemning when yourself are unclean, for ALL have sinned...)

He is TRYING to teach us to benefit ourselves, to stop being so concerned with that which is physical and fleshly, but concerns ourselves with that which is SPIRITUAL... keeping our eyes not on the things seen... but on the things UNSEEN. He is trying to train us NOW... how to 'communicate' in that realm. For you cannot do it through flesh with its blood... for flesh with its blood cannot ENTER that kingdom. You MUST do all things THERE... by spirit.

He does not want ANY to die but all to repent, but that is not going to happen. And do you remember the verse about 'unless those days were cut short'? Well, they will be cut short, at some point, because if not, ALL of us would eventually fall away to a lack of faith. We would all grow apathetic, lose hope... and entirely forget Him. We are, afterall, flesh with its blood, and so subject to the 'nature' of that flesh, part of which is forgetfulness. Indeed, other humans only stay alive in our minds because we canonize them. Those that are not canonized are majorily forgotten.

It is hard to believe in someone you can't see with your physical eyes and hear with your physical ears. But He has tried, through my Lord, to explain to us over and over again, that the things we must develop are SPIRITUAL. "The flesh... is of no use at all." But we are true to our nature: Cain didn't believe in the garden of Eden, because he couldn't SEE it; but Abel could. The people of Noah's days didn't believe it would rain because they had never SEEN it; but Noah did. Pharaoh, et al., would not believe in JAH until they SAW something, and even then did not believe; but Moses and Aaron did. The Israelites, although they SAW and HEARD... still lacked faith. My Lord performed no miracles for his disciples, but when he called them, they immediately put down their nets... and followed him. Yet, many of those who SAW his miracles STILL could not put faith in him. And of those who did have such faith, some would not CONFESS him, because of their fear of man.

People think of God's love as 'unconditional'. That is not true. There ARE conditions on His love... the first being FAITH... one BELIEVING that He even exists. Why in the world would He reveal Himself to folks who aren't even sure He exists? Yes, reveal Himself first, and THEN people will believe. Again, look at the examples given you and ask yourself 'would they really'?

... how big the ark had to be and the amount of work required to grow and store the needed food, not just for the animals, but eight humans.

The word from my Lord is:

How many people were fed with two small fishes and five loaves of barley? How many Israelites traveled... and were fed... for forty years in the wilderness? With no meat, cucumbers, leeks, and at times, water? How much wine was made out of water? And yet, you don't think you lack faith...

I, myself, SJ, have spoken it and shared it with you... just as I have heard it from my Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, the Son of the Holy One of Israel, JAH OF ARMIES.

I bid you peace.

may you all have peace!.

why is it that when someone knocked on your door and said, "hey, we have the 'truth', and some of us are 'anointed'" and yet, could not prove that truth... nor even explain that anointing... you believed?.

yet, when someone who makes that claim has absolutely no problem explaining it to you and telling you of it... blow by blow... you do not believe?.

AGuest

Dearest Amazing and BigBoi... peace to you both!

Yes, I absolutely agree. But what some don't realize is that is exactly what they were SUPPOSED to do you... shipwreck your faith. You had no problem believing they WERE the only 'true' religion, in contrast to the many thousands of other religions out there, yes? But now that you have seen through them... you have not only become skeptical of religion (which you well should have), but of GOD.

Why? He didn't tell you that they were His representatives... THEY told you that.

Skeptical of religion... of course. By ALL means. Skeptical of God? Based on what... the false teachings of religion? Where is the 'logic' in that, pray tell?

I am not telling anyone to listen to me. That is not what I have been told to tell people. I am not His 'visible representation on earth'. I am simply telling you to listen to HIM. The very answers that are given ME... can be given any one of you. But 'religion' has taught you that it can't be done. Why? Because none of THEM can do it. And so, while you say you are skeptical... are you not in fact STILL believing them? Do you see a 'pattern' here? A 'purpose' for their false teachings?

Again, peace to you!

Dearest TMS... may you have peace!

My I say that my "quaint, but acceptable, first century style salutations" are the result of the fact that although WE may change, my Father and my Lord does not... and that is how THEY speak to me? I just try to relate it as close as I can. And so, I 'give'... what I 'recieve'. If you were to talk to me personally, however, you could get anything from straightest, straight-up white boy speech, to the ghetto-est ebonics YOU have ever heard. Depends... on who I'm with, what I am saying, who I am saying it to/for... and what kind of mood I'm in. I am very diverse, lingually, actually.

While I might remind you of a sister you knew previously, please don't think that my 'language' changes closer to the 'Memorial', for I eat and drink the flesh and blood of Christ DAILY... and 'keep remembering' it daily... and not just once a year. I do so, as one of the means of remaining 'in union' with my Lord on a daily basis (once a year is insufficient for me, personally). Indeed, as the Israelites had to eat the manna daily in order to stay 'alive' physical, so I do... in order to remain 'alive'... spiritually.

John 15:1-7
John 6:56

If you consider my speech 'sanctimonious', I sincerely apologize and beg your pardon. In fact, I recently had the privilege of interpreting 1 John 4:7-21 into street-speak for some folks who I knew wanted to 'get it'. Wanna hear it? Cool! This is the jist of it:

"Listen up, homes... let us go on having MUCH love for
one another 'cause love... is from the Man Upstairs and
all you dawgs what have love for your peeps has been
birthed from the Man and gains much knowledge of the Man.

"The busta' what don't know love ain't knowin' the Man
because the Man IS love. And we peeped His love because
He gave HIS Main Man, His 'boy', His Son, Joshua, to all
of us homies so that we could cop life through dude. Dude,
He gave love us long before we ever even knew Him, homes,
so much that He sent His boy to 'cover' for us... get our
back... when we done wrong. 'Cause we have done wrong.
Yeah, all of us, homes.

"So, okay, homes, if this is how the Man loved US...
then we gotta be down with loving ALL homies... whether
they run with us or not. Don't matter. Ya'll ain't never
seen God, but if we have much love for ALL folks, the Man's
love and spirit stays up in us and hits the heights all up
in US.

"And this is how we gain much knowledge, dawg, that we
and Him are 'here' (pointing two fingers at eyes), and
got an understandin' between us, because He put HIS
blood up in us. It's in HERE (thump chest).

"The homes what says for REAL that Joshua the Chosen One
is the Son of God remains in bond to God... and God is in
bond wit him. The Man's love is TRUE, word up.

"The Man IS love, dawg, and the homes what keeps his bond
with God, well, then, God keeps his bond wit 'chu. This
is how love is made TIGHT wit us, that we can face Dude
straight on when Judgment day busts out on us. 'Cause we
is like HIM, cuz... ALL heart.

"Ain't no fear in lovin' folks, dude, 'cause TRUE love...
the TIGHTEST love... ain't sacred 'o nuthin'. True
love throws that scary !@^! away, 'cause that !@^! puts
you in a headlock, keeps you from doin' what you gotta do,
which is LOVE folks. The one that is scared to love... is
a busta' for real... and his heart pumps KOOL-AID. Ain't
no real blood flowin' through there. He's a 'trick'...
and his love is a joke. But us, dude? We have real love,
tighter than tight, cause the Man loved us first.

"So, if any of you dudes start yappin' that yang 'bout
"I love God", and yet be hatin' on your homies and other
folks, you's a liar, straight up. 'Cause if you ain't
having much love for your peeps, who you see all the time,
you can't belovin' God... who you ain't never set your
eyeballs on.

"And word is bond, homes. The Man has spoken, and said
that the dude what love HIM... GOTS to be loving his
peeps also. True that, and NO doubt."

Sound 'sanctimonious' to you, TMS? I can translate if you need. Or you can just read it in whatever 'version' of the Bible you use.

As for my children, who are also grown, I would never worry about their decisions regarding me. My children KNOW me, and they also have faith. They, too, hear the voice, dear one (and yes, they eat and drink as well - there is no AGE LIMIT on coming to Christ). They're just kinda like the oldest daughter in Dr. Dolittle 2: don't want to be considered 'weird' by folks. Fear of man. They will outgrow that fear, though, unless they purposefully deny that voice. I hope they don't.

Anyway, don't worry about it. As the saying goes, "all creation is awaiting the revealing of the sons of God." So you will know, sooner or later. In the meantime...

Peace to you!

Dearest 'MOM and FCall... peace and love to you both, to time indefinite! You KNOW that is from my heart.

Dearest Gopher... may you have peace... and you are absolutely right in your observations. I have been able to state such myself. That is why religion is SO reprehensible: rather then OPENING the 'Way' into the kingdom of the heavens, they have been quite instrumental in 'shutting it up' before men.

And I will TRY to keep my posts and responses brief, for you are not the only one who has made this statement. Please forgive my long-windedness.

I bid you all peace... to time indefinite!

just pondering over a few things i have been reading.. 1.annual corporate meeting oct 6, 2001. with all the weird changes in the last year...red light alert!.

2. since it was the 337 voting members who had the biggest say so as to the changes last year in removing the gb...... (and they are non jws)....what else will they or have they done?.

the only reason they don't send the gb home, and it's not because they care about their elderly, is the fact without them as puppets up there, most jws might wake up and smell the kool-aid!.

Kismet, Kismet, Kismet... why in the WORLD would I ask him that? What do they mean to him? Or to me? Can you imagine me saying, "Oh, hey, Lord, uh, just what is the makeup of the Society's shareholders?"
Knowing the makeup of the Society's shareholders will not add ONE cubit to my lifespan. There is no benefit to me in such information. I asked out of curiosity, plain and simple. If I am going to ask my Lord something, it will be something of benefit... to me... or to someone else.

Silly one, you know neither the power of the spirit, nor its purpose. I am a servant, not a spirit medium, a psychic or a diviner. You want to know such insignificance from the spirit? Then YOU ask the spirit.

'Earthling' man... always letting oneself be employed by the 'birdcatcher'... running around trying to set 'traps'. Be caerful that you don't fall into your own, 'kay, Kis'?

Hi, Jeremy... and peace to you!

I am truly sorry for the long posts. A lot in my heart, I guess. Take your time and read them; they're around quite a while before they disappear into cybernevernever land.

And thank you for your loving kindness. It will be remembered, to time indefinite, and I pray that the underserved kindness and mercy of my God and Father, JAH OF ARMIES, and the peace of His Christ, my Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, will come to be upon you... you and your entire household... if you so 'wish' it.

Dearest Maximus... may you have peace!

You are correct about GB members possibly still being corporate shareholders with voting rights albeit no longer directors. However, I must disagree with you as regards to the members. I know of a family from a US territory, who, in exchange for land on which to build a Kingdom Hall in that territory, received shares in the corporation as partial compensation back in the 1930's. And they weren't Witnesses.

I don't think a corporation can discriminate based on religion in the sale of its shares, even if a closed corporation. It might have income restrictions, but religious affiliation I am not so sure; I may be wrong. I mean, can they write a prospectus that says you HAVE to be a JW and say, you were, but later, weren't, relinquish such shares? I don't think the US Government allows a for-profit corporation to operate that way. And the 'holding' company IS for-profit. It is the publishing and religious companies that are non-profit. Otherwise, why not simply buy everyone out?

I can see where after 1945 they made such offerings avaiable only to certain invididuals. But what of those who weren't JWs; can they force them to change? What about the shares left to heirs? Do they automatically revert to the Society upon the death of the holder? Who would make such an investment?

If you know something different, can you 'enlighten' me, please? I would very much appreciate it. Not that I care... I don't care WHAT they do. I just like 'information'. Thank you.

And peace to you!

Elders killed my cat

in the late 70's, i began experiencing health problems.

the elders wanted to know if i purchased anything new, thinking i was under demon attack.

the only thing new in our household was a kitten.

AGuest

OMIGOD! No WAY!

Oh, Lord, I knew some of them had an exorbitant amount of hatred in their hearts, which is WHY they have no problem following the hateful teachings of that despicable org... Father, forgive me.

But to kill a tiny helpless animal so cruelly for the fear of DEMONS?! Where did you live, Salem, Massachusetts?

Father, please, forgive them... for they REALLY didn't/don't have a clue.

Peace to you Spike, and I am TRULY sorry for your kitten. Praise JAH, however, that He saves man... and beast. Your kitten will not be forgotten.

Peace to you, JH1!

Mad at you?! Omigosh, no! I am not mad at anyone, I promise. I have been taught by my Lord and have learned, there's no benefit in anger for me. Why do/have something of no benefit?

No, I am not a Jehovah's Witness. First, because I am a 'christian', which name, by 'divine providence', means 'chosen' or 'anointed' person. I have received the promised holy spirit, so, by default, that makes me a 'christian'. I do not say that blow my own horn, but simply to speak truth. The 'society' makes it such a 'glorified' position that, well, you can't speak about and confess it. I remember one brother saying to me some years ago, "Well, if you are... act like it!" When I asked what that meant, he said if I was, I wouldn't go around telling folks. Er? What person who received the promised holy spirit would TELL folks about it? Wouldn't you be shoutin' it from the mountain tops? I would think...

Second, they wouldn't 'have' me anymore, praise JAH! Asked me to disassociate myself ("if you would just DA yourself, everything would be better"). And when I told them I could not because "Israel is Israel" and I could not 'disassociate' myself from Israel, they showed me the door. Well, not really. I had actually stopped going for about a year, because the 'untruth' would make me nauseous.

But it all took place not soon enough, I might add. Took them a while to do it. Had to find a reason that wouldn't bother their consciences. Said it was because I 'refused' to meet with them (already had - 14 times; 6 judicially). I told them I wouldn't meet with them anymore because I had 'shared' all that I had been given; I had nothing else to say (which was kinda funny because the first few times we met, they wanted to know what I knew... until the CO told them to stop it!)

Another funny thing: Barber didn't call me an apostate, either. He just looked scared when at the moment both he and I knew that he (and his 'cronies') was not who he said he was... and I knew it... and I was who I said I was... and he knew it. That was kind of 'weird'. I felt sorry for him. He did say I was 'dancin' with demons'... for which I cautioned him, and he got that scared look again... but he didn't tell anyone (that I know of). At least, not back home at my congregation. They didn't know I had spoken to him until about a year later... when I told them. Yeah, they wanted to know all about that, too.

Anyway... I've risked the 'word limit' police saying I've gotten long-winded again. Can't have THAT, can we?

Later, JH1... and peace to you... to time indefinite!

god is dead

by teejay in

jw

my inactive sister who is very much a jw at heart recently discovered (i told her) that i was a budding agnostic.

she was quite intrigued and wondered why.

coming to an agnostic viewpoint has been a long journey.

AGuest

Hello all... and may you have peace!

What a 'funny' thing... that this very subject should come up. I had just asked my Lord last night about all this time that has gone by and no 'action'. (Yes, I know some of you don't believe I have conversations. Moving on...)

What he said to me was sublime. He asked me how many 'generations' passed between each time our Father took action. He then stated to me that such 'generations' consisted of the Hebrews, and then the Israelites. And the time spans between action events got greater... yes? In fact, the time span from the giving of the Law Covenant to Shiloh (coming of Messiah) was a good 1,500 years, yes? Yet, He allowed this much time for ISRAEL... to get their act together.

He then asked me, "How much time then, would my Father allow for ALL of the nations to 'get their act together'? What would be sufficient? 20 years? 200 years? 2,000 years?"

He then asked me if 20 years seemed like a long time, and reminded me of my children. I has to answer 'no', it was not. "How about 200 years?" and he then reminded me how long "African-Americans" had been out of slavery in the US (about 140 years) and where things were at this point, and again, I had to answer 'no, 200 years is not such a long time.' "What about 2,000 years, then?" And I had to answer that I did not know... I had no frame of reference. 2,000 years seemed a long time... to ME.

He then asked me, "What if that 'day' had occurred a 2,000 years ago, where would you be?" Well, I WOULDN'T be. "How about 200 years ago?" Hmmmm... I STILL wouldn't be. "20 years ago?" Okay, now I would be. "Yes, and your children?", he asked me. Hmmmm... at least one of them wouldn't be.

He then asked me, "Are you SURE you're ready for things to move ahead faster? Do you really think my Father is being 'slow'?" I hesitated in replying, because, well... things HAVE been taking some time, yes? He then showed me what appeared to be my grandchildren and asked me, "And what of them?" Hmmmm...

I don't know about you all, but my life has not been SO bad that I wish life as I know it to end right at this moment. I cannot tell you HOW many times my Lord has said to me, "Are you ready to reside with me and me with you?" and I have had to tell him the TRUTH... "Ummm... I'm not so sure I am all that ready right this minute. I mean, yes, I would LOVE to be with you and reside in a place with no mourning, outcry, pain, death... but in all honesty, I have not completely severed my heart from HERE." (I mean, why lie? He can read my heart, yes, and so knows the answer even before I give it...)

So, now, for those of you who are 'craving the day of JAH', who want all this 'madness and chaos' to end... I have to ask you... ARE YOU SURE? For some, I know life has truly SUCKED to high heaven. The suicide rates kinda show that. But I promise you, that if I was to confess right here and now that I was fed up, couldn't take anymore and was gonna end it tonight... 99.9% of you would try to talk me out of it. That same 99.9% would try and help me find SOME reason... NOT to leave, but to remain here... in THIS world.

Take stock, folks. Indeed, it's bad here. I would be lying if I said otherwise. But if my Lord showed up tonight... are you REALLY ready? Are all those that you LOVE ready? Or would you ask Him to be patient JUST a little while longer, and wait on that loved one?

I am SO grateful that He knows more than I and can see what I can't. My desire to have things better for ME... may lead to the loss... of a loved one. A grandchild that I MIGHT have... and LOVE overwhelmingly... may never come into existence. Do I REALLY want that?

Take your time, Father. There's no hurry. You know what you're doing, and while we all can't 'see' that right now, we will. And when that time comes we will do as we always do, which is say, "Oh, NOW I see... DUH!"

Peace to you all.
