  several enemies of the watchtower have ebulliently expressed the sentiment: let the games begin.

  indeed, i too share that desire to let the games begin, so-to-speak.

  but, what exactly are we to expect when once the games commence?

  Perhaps they should do a case study involving apostate Dubs who were "raised in the truth" in order to establish the long term deleterious effects of not being allowed to watch Saturday morning cartoons. / You Know

  A DOOM & GLOOMER AFTER MY OWN HEART

  the controversy regarding the future is my no means confined to apostate dubs and jehovah's witnesses.

  many other than "bible thumpers" can see big trouble looming just around the next bend.

  of course they are ridiculed too by those with opposing views.

  JEHOVAH JUDGES ABUSIVE ELDERS

  repeatedly, the scriptures admonish jehovahs people to stay in wakeful anticipation of gods judgments.

  the not so obvious reason being that we don't know exactly how jehovah's judgments are going to go down.

  however, the ordering of events once the judgment commences should not be in question.

  Based upon the above verse, are you saying the oppressive "elders" and "Governing Body" of the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization will in the future have to be exposed as ones, who are holding the "sickened sheep" of Jehovah, in a "tyrannical" form of spiritual CAPTIVITY and spiritual "SLAVERY" as we would expect of a modern-day "Babylon the Great" type leadership?

  No. The captors are mentioned in verse 28 as the nations who plunder us/ You Know

  You Know is irrelevant.

  Quite right Joelbear. This isn't about You Know. It's about Jehovah's judicial decisions upon his organization. / You Know

  QUESTION: Based upon the above events of prophecy, where do you suppose the "sickened ones" among Jehovah's sheep have been "dispersed" exactly? To what place or location have they been "dispersed" more precisely, would you say?

  When sheep are scattered they generally go in all directions. But, sadly, the Scripture does indicate that many of Jehovah's sheep fall prey to spiritual predators of various stripe. For example, 2 Peter 2:19 refers to those who are overcome and enslaved by apostates. And Psalms 10:9-10 says: He keeps lying in wait to carry off some afflicted one by force. He carries off the afflicted one by force when he draws his net shut. He is crushed, he bows down, and the army of dejected ones has to fall into his strong claws

  Probably, though, the dispersing of Jehovah's sheep isn't referring to the relative handful who have been lost to date, but rather a large scale dispersal that hasn't occured yet, but will occur in the future during the initial phase of the tribulation. That's evident from verses 27 and 28, which says in part: And they will no longer become something to plunder for the nations; and as regards the wild beast of the earth, it will not devour them, and they will actually dwell in security, with no one to make them tremble.

  You Know, why don't you send this stuff to Brooklyn? You're not afraid of delivering God's message, are you? Compile your works and send to Brooklyn

  I send lots of stuff like this to Brooklyn, the fact is I just throw a few tidbits on this board compared to what I share with them.

  But how can you be a source of truth, when you're not part of the anointed remnant?

  Jehovah and Jesus are the only source of truth, but in that connection you are allowed to make certain assumptions. LOL / You Know

  Repeatedly, the Scriptures admonish Jehovah’s people to stay in wakeful anticipation of God’s judgments. The not so obvious reason being that we don't know exactly how Jehovah's judgments are going to go down. However, the ordering of events once the judgment commences should not be in question. The apostle plainly indicated that the judgment begins with the house of God, and due to Christ’s inspection of his household the Scripture goes on to say that, due to the severity of the judgment, that the righteous one will be saved only with great difficulty. James indicates that elders receive a heavier judgment. So did Christ. He said that those whom people put in charge demand more than usual from them. That being the case, then, Jehovah obviously holds elders and the Governing Body more accountable as to how they discharge their shepherding obligations. The prophecy of Ezekiel the 34th chapter is Jehovah’s judgment yet to be brought to bear against negligent elders.

  For example, verse 4 says: The sickened ones you have not strengthened, and the ailing one you have not healed, and the broken one you have not bandaged, and the dispersed one you have not brought back, and the lost one you have not sought to find, but with harshness you have held them in subjection, even with tyranny.

  Typically, the Watchtower applies Jehovah’s judgments to the clergy of Christendom, but interestingly verse 21 says: for the reason that with the flank and with the shoulder you kept pushing and with your horns you kept shoving all the sickened ones until you had scattered them to the outside. And I will save my sheep…

  Now, if the bad shepherds who are shoving Jehovah’s sheep out are the clergy, wouldn’t that be a good thing if they left the churches? Yet, Jehovah judges the shepherds who do such a thing. It is evident then, that, since those abused sheep are called Jehovah’s sheep, that the fold over which the bad shepherds preside is in fact Jehovah’s organization and not Christendom as we now suppose. That’s what verse 30 plainly says: And they will have to know that I, Jehovah their God, am with them and that they are my people…

  According to the satanic reasoning of the faithless apostate, the problems and corruption in the organization is proof that Jehovah’s Witnesses are not God’s organization as we claim. But, rather than Jehovah’s coming judgment against us being an indication that we are not his people, his organization, it will instead be a demonstration that God indeed oversees his flock and that He is cognizant of what is wrong and perfectly able to make the needed corrections.

  In the very near term the Anglo-American system of things is scheduled to undergo a catastrophic meltdown, during which time the shepherding shortcomings of the above-described bad shepherds will become manifest. During the heat of trial Jehovah will take complete control over his organization. The angels will forcibly eject all faithless ones and Jehovah will show mercy to the rest. For those on the fringe who have been stumbled and who are leaning towards apostasy, but who have not yet been completely devoured by it, there is possibly a brief period of amnesty that Jehovah will extend to those who have suffered at the hands of abusive elders and who are able to muster the necessary faith to apply. / You Know

  Did they program you to laugh and make light of child abuse at your cult's "service meeting?"

  I don't think you get it. I am not laughing at child abuse. I am making fun of you personally. / You Know

  Expecting toddlers to sit still for hours of mindless, boring programming and beating them severely for not doing so is not discipline.

  Maybe you could start up a movement called the Silent Marsupials or something, devoted to all the little kiddies who were prevented by their cruel JW parents from watching Saturday morning cartoons.
