The truth is: we give a witness, not by outwardly speaking or flashy words, BUT rather, by our JESUS example, that being our very selves, our being, our doing and our love for God and his creations, not the least of which are other believers and those we deem as ENEMIES. Jesus said to love, even thy enemies. I, Gene Collins, a believer in the true and living God, Yahovah, which my brothers call Jehovah, am only one man, but I believe I speak for the many who have been, and continue to, suffer greatly at the hands of our brothers and sisters and certain ellders.
Dear crothers:
WHY must you hurt me and so many others so?
Did you miss the part where Jesus COMMANDED us to love one another, despite what we personally feel is "below us", in opposition to us, or different from us? LOVE, damn it! Love is the key to helping the lost ones, like me to come home!
I tried so desparately to come back to Jehovah's tent, but the horrible, mean, self-righteous looks, cold, uncaring attitude drove me back out the door of the kingdom hall, despite the fact that I love Jehovah's people so much!
I love you all, but I cannot allow my love for others, my love for my creator and my sense of integrity to be robbed by cold, heartless people!
May Jehovah comfort those hearts that deserve such, and correct those who tear down what we want to build up!
THERE!
Yes, I did witness this weekend...TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST! JEHOVAH'S VERY OWN PEOPLE! IT IS US WHO NEED SAVING AND LOVING AND COMFORT! TAKE CAREOF YOUR OWN HOUSEHOLD FIRST, LEST YOU ALSO BE LIKE THOSE W/O FAITH!
