Just wanted to share some thoughts:
2 Peter 2v22 - What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
Valdino’s recent posting about Ex-Wallkill Bethelite Marcus Vaughn got me thinking about the large number of JWs that revert to Christendom’s pagan tenets after leaving Watchtower (WT) for example, many begin birthday and Christmas celebrations, a belief in a trinity or that Jesus is Jehovah God, other pagan belief or perhaps they become embroiled in the darkness of Satan’s political affairs for example they jump on the climate change bandwagon (Lloyd Evans), take sides in the NATO/Ukraine v Russia debacle (Goatlike Personality, Jonas Plåt). That’s not to say having an opinion is a sin. But carrying that opinion into the realm of works, or slavery for this system, is the sin.
When i left WT- going on a year now- people in my family tried to get me to join their church. I didn’t consider that for a moment- I’d sooner have no place to worship than worship in any church belonging to Christendom.
Then there were those who asked me: Aren’t you excited to finally celebrate Christmas? I gave it a fleeting thought- but nope, not going to and didn’t happen.
Taking sides in Satan’s political darkness was never an option I availed to myself.
And so I concluded last night, that must be the common bond that we all share and it’s what Jehovah tapped into that brought us here together to fellowship with each other and learn from him.
Finally, Matt 22v35 the greatest commandment- means to love Jehovah our God with our whole heart, whole soul and whole mind. . .
Unfortunately, JWs checked their minds out to the Gov Body. That we can and do love Jehovah with our thinking ability intact, is another common bond we share. This is why we rejected the injections (think!) and will continue to.
Jehovah never asked us to or expected us to relinquish our powers of reason to anybody but him.
For this reason, we didn’t return to our vomit.
