1 Timothy 4:7 … train yourself with godly devotion as your aim.
How? By following Jesus’ example:
1 Peter 2:21 In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving a model for you to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One who judges righteously. 24 He himself bore our sins in his own body on the stake, so that we might die to sins and live to righteousness. And “by his wounds you were healed.”

"PioneerSchimioneer: While I may believe in God and the Scriptures, what I don't believe in is you. And now you see why."
No problem, that's why I provide scriptures. I am happy if you believe the scriptures. You should not believe me. Let Jesus guide you by the the holy spirit when you read the scriptures.

"PioneerSchmioneer:
You cannot have it both ways. Either Jesus is the head of the religion that disfellowshipped you and you should go back and stop associating with exJWs, or Jesus is not the head of that religion and you are just lying to yourself--and you find that too painful to admit to yourself.....
In fact, it sounds like you find both options to painful to admit to yourself, "
The truth is that Jesus is the head of the congregation. He knows what happens there. But he does not intervene to every problem that exists or arises in his congregation. But there will come a decisive day when all evil slaves will be thrown out who have been beating their fellow slaves.
Matthew 24:48 “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.

"Queequeg: Kosonen's case though, his condescension, the Watchtower speak with leading questions have been irresistible for me. "
I am often very busy. I work fulltime in construction, so I don't have a lot of time to spend on arguments on the internet. In addition I send the "Daily Text" some other people too. I have even reduced the number of people I send this because of lack of time.

Some ways to have plenty to do in the Lord’s work:
2 Timothy 4:1 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his Kingdom: 2 Preach the word; be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times; reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all patience and art of teaching.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always having plenty to do in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in connection with the Lord.
1 Timothy 4:.. 13 continue applying yourself to public reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift in you…
16 Pay constant attention to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

Hi Leathercrop, I have no problem with the possibility to enter the heaven, to join the crowds of God’s holy angels and to be united with God’s onlybegotten son Jesus Christ in heaven and see Jehovah God and hear him speak from his majestic throne.
But we must understand the purpose of the heavenly calling. It’s not just to come to a new exotic place, but to form a temporary 1000 year government to govern mankind, because mankind needs a perfect government until the whole mankind has matured in righteousness to the extent that they don’t need any supervisors anymore.
Revelation 5:9 And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “the firstborn from the dead,” and “the Ruler of the kings of the earth.” To him who loves us and who set us free from our sins by means of his own blood— 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.
Revelation 20:6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years.
Daniel 2:44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,
Daniel 7:27 “‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens were given to the people who are the holy ones of the Supreme One.

Jesus says to the congregation in Philadelphia:
Revelation 3:8 …And I know that you have a little power, and you kept my word and did not prove false to my name.
10 Because you kept the word about my endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is to come upon the entire inhabited earth, to put to the test those dwelling on the earth.
The congregation in Philadelphia had apparently suffered a lot, but not given up. And Jesus remarked that they had worn out much of their power.
Jesus says to the congregation in Laodicea:
Revelation 3:16 So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. 17 Because you say, “I am rich and have acquired riches and do not need anything at all,” but you do not know that you are miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked.
Apparently the Laodiceans felt themselves relaxed and secure, as do many prosperous people. And they were apparently spiritually lazy.
