AGUEST SAID
Greetings and WELCOME, dear EOM... and peace to you! You have come to the right place, at least to find others who are led by holy spirit! I say it that way because those of us here who ARE so led know that, in TRUTH, there is no WHERE for us to go... but a WHOM that we must "go away to." John 6:68 Lack of understanding of this truth is what causes many to either stay IN the WTBTS ("Where ELSE is there to go?")... or lose all faith when they leave ("If the WTBTS isn't "it"... then there is no where ELSE to go!"). They don't know... as we do... that "where"... is not a place, per se, except perhaps where our Lord's "body" is. We here, then... follow the LAMB. Wherever HE goes. And we KNOW... as you now do... that he is NOT in the WTBTS.
Not all here are part of the Body of Christ or even believers; these are not against us, however, but lovingly show kindness TO us... by assisting in moderating the site (we wanted to ensure its neutrality so that non-believers could not accuse of us of bias against those who are not like us). They are very kind, very dear, very loving folks (we even learn from them, sometimes - the "nations", who do BY NATURE "the things of the Law"... and we love them for that as well as for the "good" they are doing toward us, we who are among the least of our dear Lord's brothers.
Please note, we are not always in absolute agreement here as we may be at different stages in our journey toward the MOST Holy... or set in different places in the "temple". But it is our love... for Christ... and hence, each other... that binds us. We have no rules other than to treat one another as we wish to be treated... and to keep things civil, decent, and respectful, as befitting the "fruits" that are to be cultivated in us.
While our discussions are primarily of a spiritual nature, they are not limited to that; however, if we can say "Amen" to whatever you share, we certainly will. If we have a different understanding... well, we might state that but kindly... and are always open to discussion, of course. In such cases, we all try to do so in the spirit displayed by Priscilla and Aquila when "expounding way of God more correctly" to Apollos, a man ALSO "aglow with the spirit." Acts 18:24-26
So, please, come on in, get comfy, and make yourself to home. We are very glad you have come!
Again, peace to you!
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SA
