Peace to you, dear Sher'f and Kimmie and thanks for sharing/ commenting on this. Rather than all being replaced (unheard of), the others will just be more careful and take their secrets deeper into the dark. They can't afford to shake up (or down) Everyone.
And while some will say it's just "Jehovah cleaning house," others won't believe (or even think about, let alone discuss) the reason why. Those ear stoppers will be shoved deeper and those blinders glued on tighter. Why? Because they have NO clue "where" else to "go." And they have NO idea it's a "who," because they stumble right over him. Why? Because they WANT to be enslaved.
Only thing we can do is pray for them and continue to provide an example when and where we can. As a group, when possible, yes, but as individuals definitely.
As dear Kimmie stated, to whomever is FOR captivity...
We ALL have a choice.
And so, MUCH PRAISE and MANY THANKS to JaH and JaH'eShua WE have the TRUE Copper Serpent to keep OUR gaze on!
May all of US do that, keep our gaze on him AND keep an eye on ourselves that WE are not overcome by the ways and leading of this world such that OUR necks become stiffened or OUR heads turn. Because life ISN'T always easy. We weren't promised a rose garden, though - we were promised a torture tree.
Given all that's going on in our world, things could change any day... or not at all during our lifetime. If we're serving because we believe we're in "the end times," then, and not SOLELY because we LOVE JaH and Christ and are GRATEFUL for what they've done in our lives, from creating us to the Son's sacrifice, to every blessing since then, we may find ourselves ALSO standing out in the "dark," scratching our heads in confusion.
My point? While it's absolutely understandable to "rejoice," when a wolf in sheep's clothing' nakedness is exposed resulting in his fall, WE must be careful in our "rejoicing" (Proverbs 24:17, 18).
Especially if we used to be one of/among them and or have the same battles (or know ones who did/do). Alcoholism is RAMPANT in that organization and we've even seen the pics of a GB member buying A SHOPPING CART FULL of liquor. So, a removal such as this shouldn't be surprising. If they didn't have a problem with that, one of them was bound to take his drunkenness too far.
Not trying to offend anyone. Just sharing a bit of caution for us all.
May the undeserved kindness and mercy of our dear Father, JaH, and the love and peace of His dear, dear Son, OUR dear Lord, Master, Savior, Guide, Teacher, Instructor, Shepherd, Redeemer, and Leader, His Holy One, Holy Spirit, and the Holy One of Israel, JaH'eShua, His King and ours... be upon you ALL and upon your dear, dear households.. to time indefinite!
Your servant, sister, friend, and a slave of Christ,
Shel
