The Truth & people are two seperate things! Going to all the meetings and doing everything instructed by our org is not "being in the truth"! Merely working together.
Being faithful to God & Christ IS "being IN the Truth.

Matt 24: 40- Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41- Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42- Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43- But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45- Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46- Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47- Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48- But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mad replies: That is what we've been TOLD; do you have the courage to set that aside for a moment- and listen closer to his words? He's referring to the future time of the Last Days- obviously when Armageddon begins. Joseph? Small group of self-gloriying brothers? 1919?1919?1919? We were only just BEGINNING to know and to obey Christ at that time. Approved?1919?
I love the Truth- but am embarrassed over some of the things HQ has said and taught. Jesus was not telling all Christians to be like Joseph at Armageddon. He was not saying it would be a small group at HQ. He was telling us ALL to be Faithful & Discreet- and that at that time, if we are faithful, we will be rewarded!
