Where would you go(are you gone)?

by Koiné in

hallo,.

i would like to discuss some items in one topic:.

1)most of the people who left jehovah's witnesses also left institutional christianity,i mean they did not join another group (or did they)?.

wantingtruth

Hi , all,

"today" it is the time when Jehovah is fulfilling this (His ) work;

Isaiah 42:

16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

Jesus said to seek first the Kingdom of God, (Matt 6:33 ) so , all of us who want to be christians have to obey this comandment of Jesus , and the Father will proceed with us according to His promesses in Isaiah.

in fact now is the time when all religions (including that of JW's ) are proven being wrong , and all people discerning that are invited to get out of them and to prepare to enter in the Kingdom (of God ).

The Kingdom is at the point of coming on earth ! please see Rev. 22:7-17.

Be trustfull !

"mindmelda" ... are you texan ? and wanting to be christian ?

God's kingdom:is it possible to define it ?

by Koiné in

since i am working on an essay about "gods kingdom or the kingdom of heaven" i would appreciate how people describe or define this expression,apart from the watchtower definition.. is it only another metaphor for god's eternal universal reign?.

do we have to see it in a pre-post- or amillenial setting?.

is it only something in the mind and heart,or will it like, daniel2:44 says, one time be the only government over (or on) the earth.. if it started his activities after jesus death and ressurrection in the 1st century what has been the influence since then?.

Hi Koine

you said :

"Since I am working on an essay about "Gods kingdom or the kingdom of heaven" I would appreciate how people describe or define this expression,apart from the watchtower definition."

here I wrote a few words about God's Kingdom (see posts 28 & 30 )

it can be said much more

and it will be.

"You have a good point, but of course we still have the Truth"

by BonaFide in

jw
friends

that is the bottom line for a witness.

i have tried so many times to reason with witnesses, and they react the same as i did almost all my life.

the only success i am having is hopefully planting some seeds, because that worked with me, over a period of time.. many threads on here describe reasonings and great points designed to "wake up" witnesses.

I think little by little we can do it, and then the whole thing will crash.

My hope, anyway.

this is a work occuring now ,

God is watching it to happen (Jeremiah 1:12 ) ,

but it works only with those with a right condition of hearth before God .

Have you joined a new religious organisation since leaving the JW's?

by Wee John in

since leaving the jw's did you actively seek out another organisation, or did it find you?.

.

have you found yourself apathetic to all religions?.

wantingtruth

After leaving the organisation , I found a WAY , that one prophetised in Isaiah 35:8
And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way.

Isaiah 35:8 (Amplified Bible)
http://putinthesickle.blogspot.com/2008/03/way-of-holiness.html
this WAY is NOT a religion , but a correct relationship with God , through the Son , beliving His words , following His steps , and doing the Father's will !
This WAY leads to the Kingdom of God !

Hey , friend,

I don't know you

But I do know one thing ! IF you love God and His Son , the King , then you are NOT an apostate !

Apostate is the "slave" and ALL who wilfully and consciently follow him and praise him !

Why ? -- because the Slave with his hords have trampled the everlasting Sacrifice of Jesus, and they do NOT continue in the "teaching of Christ" see 2John 1:9 .

They DO NOT have the Father , nor the Son ,and the KINGDOM was taken away from them !

If you love God , you are NOT alone , because the Father and the Son are with you !

and all who continue to love the Father and the Son are with you !

If you love God , I invite to listen to a 'song" : THAT's MY KYNG !

If you love God , I invite you to watch and see how Jehovah is fulfilling His word , and how He is seeing (what's His point of view concerning the so called his organisation )

do follow this thread here <--clik

THE TRUTH will make you free , and will give to you reasons for rejoyce !

I have also a "word" for your "anointed" relatives : to read here !

and also a word for the GB : they are just now fighting against THE LAMB (of GOD ) ! and the outcome of this battle is sure !

"but I am dead to them" >> if they do not repent before Jehovah , they are ALL dead !

quote tresdecu

wantingtruth - thank you and welcome to the board. I like your name I want truth too! But I am just going to give up, after 30 years of thinking I had it, I don't know what to believe right now. Just feel lost. I will check out that link, when I have more time to read it.

--------------------------------------------

Thank you for welcoming me,

I advice you to give up in following "the Org." , but do not give up in believing God's word and the ONE He sent to us : his Son , Jesus Christ

He commanded us to "seek first God's Kingdom and his righteussness" (Matt 6:33)

"what to believe right now ? " -- do start in believing God's command : "this is my beloved Son , listen to him ! " .... and "him" will teach us

let us see an example : "when does Kingdom of Heaven start ruling in Heaven according to Jesus teaching ?"

see here some words (see posts 28,30 ) God's Kingdom

anyway , the truth (of God ) will make you free , friendly , wantingtruth.
