Greetings and peace to all of you dear ones and to your dear households!
For a little bit, now, our dear Sher'f has been inviting me to peruse and perhaps participate on Reddit. As I shared with him, if that's where my dear Lord sends me next, then that is where I will go; however, I have not heard from our dear Lord "where," if anywhere, else I am to go. Right now, as you all may know, it's been the Quora forum. I have shared quite a bit there, though, and have indeed wondered if my time there is coming to a close or at least decreasing. I put the matter on the back shelf, though, while waiting to hear from my dear Lord as to next steps, if any.
And then today I was led to the "gate" of this particular "city":
http://www.cwjah.org/Interestingly, only two (2) of the eleven information links works, though:
- The "entry" to their discussion forum (
https://christianwjah.proboards.com/)
- Their "Contact Us" link which merely links to a blank email page you can send to them
The owner of the page isn't an entirely unknown person (albeit, unknown to me until today). His name is Greg Stafford and he has written a few books in relation to the WTBTS and Jehovah's Witnesses. including:
Jehovah's Witnesses Defended: An Answer to Scholars and Critics, 1st Ed. (1997)
Jehovah's Witnesses Defended: An Answer to Scholars and Critics, 2nd Ed. (2000)
Jehovah's Witnesses Defended: An Answer to Scholars and Critics, 3rd Ed. (2009)
Three Dissertations on the Teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses (can't determine the year published)
He is also featured in two (3) 2003 public debates:
Is Jesus God? a debate between Greg Stafford and Robert M. Bowman, Jr.
Jesus Christ: God or a god? a debate between Greg Stafford & Dr. James WhitePlease note, I am not sharing this with the view of recommending Mr. Stafford's publications or videos to you; reading/viewing such is entirely a personal choice. But it appears that Mr. Stafford started out as a staunch defender of the WTBTS and its teachings. At some point, though, he eventually separated himself and started "Christian Witnesses of JaH" (long, long after we learned our dear Father's true name and that of our dear Lord, His Son, of course). And now he has a "CWJ" forum (see above), published as of 2016.
Again, interestingly, especially in light of its 2016 (and so sufficient time to correct) publishing date, was the nine (9)
non-working links, including:
< Who are Christian Witnesses of Jah? (Yes, please, tell us)
< Where are Christian Witnesses of Jah? (Yep, that too, since you put it out there)
< Our “Three Things” (The webpage hints at it, but is actually silent)
< Political and religious diversity (Which are? Website doesn't say)
< Humankind's history (Again, non-working link and so silence)
< Earth's history (Yowsa, he thought to take that on?? Yet, no link. Something's beginning to smell "fishy")
< Articles, audio, books, tracts, and videos (More nuthin' via a non-working link)
< Helpful charities and how we help others (Well, now, that just throws our dear Lord's words recorded at Matthew 6:1-4 right out the window. But it might work for "Jesus" - it apparently has for others who serve that person)
< General Index (Which would have been most helpful in navigating the site (as well as maybe understanding what it's about)).
There was some talk about Mr. Stafford leaving the WTBTS sometime between 2007-2009 and he had a blog but the last post is dated August 5, 2019, and so I am not sure "where" Mr. Stafford is in his understanding(s)/belief(s) today. For that reason, I believe this is my next "city"... if it is still occupied (it may have been abandoned - following Mr. Stafford's, ummmm... "spiritual progress", it could be that he found there is far, far more to the Father and Christ than ANY religion has ever taught or teaches and so there is no "where" to go to in
that direction... and following the Christ on one's own... Well, let's just say many have proven that living as a "free(d)" person isn't always possible - some NEED a pedagogue to tell them what to do/not do... or "police" their lives in almost every aspect... else they'll go completely off the rails if left on their own. Most will certainly turn back/away from the Father/Christ, most often due to the mundane as well as attention-getting things of their personal lives. This very well may have occurred for Mr. Stafford (a messy divorce was mentioned).
Anyway, I am going to register and at least "go" where the Lamb is leading me. Perhaps Mr. Stafford became (dis)illusioned when he learned that very few would receiving what he shared. Or maybe he found some "gaps" or errors in his belief(s) and thought, "What's the point?" Who knows?
I will share what I can when I can. I would put out there, though, that no one should follow ME in this. As I've always shared with you, I am not anyone's leader and NO ONE should be looking at ME or doing MY assignments, but should be looking at the listening to the Christ, the ONLY King and Leader the Father has given mankind since sending His Son here to give his life for mankind, follow HIM and do whatever "work" he assigns to YOU. I have shared this with you solely in the spirit of Christ's direction borne out in his words recorded at
John 15:15b .
I wish you all... and your dear, dear households... peace. As our dear Lord, Savior, Master, Guide, Teacher, Instructor, Shepherd, Leader, and Redeemer... JaH'Eshua, the Holy One of Israel, Holy Spirit, and Issue/Get of the Father... gives it.
Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,
Shel
