look...i've had my beef with lloyd aka cedars and some of the stuff he says or does but equally i respect what he is trying to do and what he has achieved in terms of waking people up.. he intimated he had mental health issues years ago but his video today is brutal...i see pain in his eyes and he is suffering.

his family come first and the man needs to heal.. yes he has issues that many on here see but its not the man that is important but his work.. but the man needs time to heal mentally and i wish he does so.

he deserves that despite the feelings and things that have happened in the past with the exjw community.. he has done so much for the exjw community in general that i hope all give him a little clack and he returns.. if any of us did what he did we may be in the same boat but none of us do...see past the man and see his work but equally the man is suffering and it is pretty sad...i hope he gets better soon.

Did he really expect his life to go well after he abandoned God and Christ?

Love one another intensely...avoid partiality

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | march 2020. study article 13. love one another intensely.

if we have intense “love for the whole association of brothers,” we will avoid being partial.

7 jesus urged us to keep treating others the way we want to be treated.

No, he's just being ignored by the 'cliques'.

Governing Body Helpers

friends

do you know anything more about them?

what is their history?

They're just Elders who have worked their way up the company ladder to leadership positions. If they are partakers, they're eligible to join the GB. If they're not partakers, they will be in charge after the GB 'disappears'.

There is no heavenly calling, it is a wishful thinking of JWs

by Abraham1 in

then jesus said to his disciples: “truly i say to you that it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens.

again i say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.” (mathew 19:23, 24, https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/19/) for jesus both “kingdom of heaven and kingdom of god” are interchangeable—they are one and the same.

when earth comes again under god’s rulership, earth becomes a “kingdom of heaven.” (mathew 5:3, 5) “those poor in spirit” are defined as those having no self-importance or egoless (mathew 16:24) and “the meek” too are egoless.

No, it's JW or nothing for me, and no, I'm not tied in by family. JWs basically ARE my 'family' and though they disappoint me, they're still 'family'.

The heavenly org consists of the spiritual beings who reside in heaven: Jehovah, Jesus, and the angels.

Jan, no need to apologize. I don't completely understand myself. I guess I'm a disappointed (with the earthly org) but devout (to the heavenly org) JW.

Jan, good question. Perhaps 'little flock' (Luke 12:32) and 'other sheep' (John 10:16)?

When it comes to "we must be ready to obey whether....it

by nowwhat? in

i believe the the organization will tell it's members to sign over their mortgages and savings to the organization.

because of the impending fall of the financial institutions and the organization is the only place where it will be safe.

this has to be the only scenario possible because obviously they won't do a jonestown and where could 8 million flee to?

a watcher

notsure, 'flee' where? Where are 8 million JWs going to 'flee' TO?

You obviously have never received an invitation to partake. There is no 'wishful thinking' involved.
