Infiltrators in Russian congregation

"Percolating" indeed!! The thing is, if we stop "percolating" then that means we're falling asleep and aren't on the lookout, and under the circumstances, you know, our so called leaders aren't bothered about keeping on the watch anymore, then we have no choice BUT to "percolate" šŸ˜… Our so called leaders have seemingly been throwing the brothers and sisters under a bus every few months since, but because US here on this forum have been in a constant state of "percolating" it means we get to smell every cup of coffee ā˜ŗļø the other poor brothers and sisters are just getting more and more depressed and confused.. they need to "wake up and smell the coffee" I'm pretty sure the aroma of the coffee will get stronger and stronger as time goes by and they will gradually start waking up from their slumber.. šŸ¤—
If anyone needs help developing a metaphor just go to Proverbs 14v15.....took my whole percolating thing and just smashed it. :love:

I like your optimism.....the brothers are smelling something alright....but it aint coffee. :poop: (Lets see you run wild with that metaphor... :giggle:)
 
Yes I've read that scripture so many times. It felt like the whole Jab roll out was an initiation rite into a New World System. The Israelites were baptized as they passed through the Red Sea and it felt to me that the whole World was in a way being baptized into a new era.

JWs to me appeared to be taking the knee to two things....1. The UN WHO/Agenda21/Agenda30 2. A Claimed Theocratic Authority that was now in league with the Secular Authority.

What really gets me is that the small percentage of people in my community that refused to accept the script were ripe for some spiritual guidance and a witness the exposes the Beast System. Back in the 1980's/ 1990's we spent meeting after meeting going through the Revelation Climax Book which continually supported the idea that God's People would not support the Satanic UN.

Fast forward to 2020 and our Organizational script was completely flipped. We were told to trust the Superior Authority and anyone that didn't was indulging in delusional conspiracy theories.

An enormous opportunity to provide spiritual guidance to a confused and disillusioned section of the public went begging. Jesus said to let our light shine and the GB decided to shine it upon the United Nations.

Seriously, how on Earth did all of that happen? I still feel like i"m in some kind of dystopian Movie.......both the World and the Org have changed and we're on a run away train. MRNA....Artificial Intelligence exponentially exploding......Deep Fake Tech that is indistinguishable from what is real.......things are moving at light speed!!

Feb 2020 was a completely different World. This forum kicked off in Dec 2021 and look at the change we have seen in 4 short years. Only four years??? So much has happened and it's not slowing down.

If we can detach from the madness and try to get an Angel's eye view of the World......this really is an exciting time to be alive. (Terrible and exciting at the same time)
I wonder sometimes if it an exciting time to be alive. Yes, from an angelic point of view looking down on this alien and strange species that have gone against Jehovah they probably do look down with anticipation. These angels know the depth of the of the Holy Spirit and their angelic jaws must drop open in wonderment at the ignorance and superficial manner in which we try to ingratiate ourselves with Jehovah. You’re so right - we have a madness attached to us that keeps us superficially skating across the surface of spirituality without any idea of the required depth of understanding that may help us survive what is to come.

Sometimes I wish I was sitting with the governing body as they receive their ā€œchannelā€ of communication from Jehovah, even though that changes from day to day from one thing to another, leaving them blameless of misdirection and in a full ā€œunderstanding of how Jehovah teaches (them).

Howdy Dog. I'm 100% with you on this. When I concluded my post I finished at "these are exciting times to be alive." I was just about to push "post reply" and I thought "Exciting? Its freaking terrible".

So I then went back and stuck "Exciting but terrible" as an add on in brackets!! :)

Showing a waiting attitude hasn't always been my strong suit. I have to keep reminding myself that Joseph had 13 pretty murky years before things got clearer and Moses was 40 when he Lickety split out of Egypt but he was 80 before Jehovah cleared things up somewhat at the burning bush. Even then, he had another 40 years of trial and endurance only to be blocked access to the promised land.

I hope as you say I have the depth of understanding to survive what it is to come. If it really is "we must obey the faithful slave even if it doesn't make sense" then I'm well and truly cactus. 🌵

I had to look up "I'm cactus" to see what it meant exactly and it's origin.. are you Australian 4Jah? :unsure:

For me, I cannot see any need to be ā€œgatheredā€ or to listen out for ā€œunusual instructionā€. My view of watchtowers warning of such is simply a question of control. ā€œWe know something you don’t.ā€ Children’s stuff. Which GB member could hope to organise eight million people? The term ā€˜gathering together’ probably may be better termed as ā€˜identifying’ those loyal to Jehovah. The inspection being of the heart condition. At least, that is reasonable given the conflagration and disruption that the day of Jehovah will bring upon this earth - unless on expects planes and trains running on time during world war. Or as you may put it ā€œOur train service is a real cactus, mate. May as well open another tinny.ā€

Waiting for the day of Jehovah is a different matter that is viewed pro-rata with age and circumstance. As one ages, so too does one’s view on life. Like drinking a fine wine that one put aside on the day of one’s birth and who opens it in their late declining years. Its taste is relevant pro-rata to how one developed their life and their achievements. Its maturity brings with it either bitter gall or the taste of inward accomplishment but along with it, a sense of conclusion and inevitability. This is where the ā€˜understanding’ of Jehovah’s attributes grips the soul. The deeper one has dug into the attributes, the less the fear, the greater the reassurance..

People term hope in Jehovah as an accomplishment. But hope has little place in old age, unless it has become forged as a reality within the heart. And if it has, it ceases to be a hope, but becomes a reassurance of the inevitable and only outcome this world can have. There is a difference. Hope is simply the journey to finding. Finding it is true peace. And one can only trawl for that sense of accomplishment by and through their prayers for enlightenment within the attributes of Jehovah. The younger one is when they accept the inevitability and meaning of faith, the greater their understanding will be. Being fulfilled in one’s self allows the mind to seek Jehovah first. Free to learn - the key to not thinking more of one’s self than is necessary.
