All who belong to Christ have an obligation to sound the warning to "Get OUT of her," just as our first century brothers sounded it as to Jerusalem (when they saw the "disgusting thing standing in a holy place" in THEIR day). So, I can understand how some might consider it a personal mission to "expose" the WTBTS. Yet, others who wished the same, including reformers as well as opposers, and their organizations... have come... and gone. Those that remain eventually decrease their "voice"... for some reason or another... until nothing remains but a whisper (in the grand scheme of things).

Dear ones, people have opposed... and been speaking out as to... the atrocities of "christendom/christianity" since just after the death of the last Apostle. As to her deceit, hypocrisy, and henious crimes which include the blood of [some of] the holy ones. And so you have today, even a divided "universal" church... with some following Peter, some following Paul, some Thomas, some Barnabas, some a sundry saint... some still-living individuals.

And just as the world has seen the likes of Calvin and Luther, we've seen the Russellites, Bible Students, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., as to the WTBTS. ALL... part of the MOTHER harlot by virture of being her "daughters."

As I recently shared with another dear one, the ONLY thing that will bring that harlot and her daughters down is for everyone to get out of her... OR intevention by the superior authorities.

My money is on the intervention.... because that IS the prophecy, after all.

In the meantime, the only thing those of us who SEE her sins can do is to continue telling those IN her... to get OUT of her... if they don't want to SHARE in her sins... and so receive part of her plagues. Whether they hear... or refrain.

But more than that? Can't see it. The kings of the earth still "love her" too much. THEY... are not ready yet to turn on her. Hasn't been put into their hearts to do so... yet.

Peace to you all!

Servant to the Household of God, Israel, and all those who go with, and a slave of Christ,

SA

((((AMEN))))

So true! It will come in Jahs due time.

But there are still those of His body trapped inside that harlot ( organized, formal Christian worship in man- made structures)
Our prayers must continue to be as a sweet smelling odor to Jah so mercy, forgiveness and love will prevail so those that belong to him will get out of her in time.

Thank you for sharing Shelby, ;)

Love Justmom

((Sab))

We have talked some, so I know some about your childhood, and I want to just give you a hug. It is true that the best thing that you can do for your brother is to be there for him when he returns, and make sure that he knows you love him. Even if he finds himself unable to show that love in return for a spell. Don't you give up hope, or give into despair. God, through Christ, can do things we think are impossible, and in the time that they know is right, not the time that we think is right. At some point, everyone goes their own way and finds their own path, and it is not up to us to make them see anything. They get to choose. Sometimes they meander about for a long time, and then find their way back.

We can just be there for them (our children, or siblings that we helped raise, or any other loved ones also), as you have done. There is comfort in knowing you've done all you can, and that is time for your brother to choose for himself what he does with all the knowledge and experience he has thus far (which choices he makes may be temporary while he figures things out for himself, or starts to listen and follow Christ... or what/whomever he chooses) You can just be there, to love him as he needs you to.


Peace and love to you,
tammy

Thank you Paul and Tec for the kindness and support. I am reminded of the words of Thomas Paine, "THESE are the times that try men's soul."

What you're going thru breaks my heart, Sab, and I'm so sorry.

My story is very similar minus the cult's influence. Inadequate (loser, lazy parent) parents so I had to do everything for younger sibling (whom I loved very much) yet toxic, evil, parent, always conniving against me causing irreparable harm. I know there's mental issues w/the sibling plus the psycho parent treated this child (my sibling) 180 degrees different because of being the "baby" thus spoiling. She breathed to have that approval from the psychopath yet because of her own problems of envy, jealousy, (everything she was raised with just like the role-model psychopath) and is really not a sibling to me at all but someone I always did everything for and delusional just to have a semblance of a family/sibling. There's no communication unless the sibling needs something. The pain/grief I had to finally face was devastating. Have to say my prayers to God saved/saves me.

Mankind's evil is unreal and I understand what you mean about "enabling the dysfunctional environment."

I hate the pain/evil w/tower and hope/pray they are dealt with and people know their game/reality.

Love to you.
