Thank you dear Outlaw for your love and supporting us.

And thank you Tammy for your love and support as well.

May Jahs spirit be with you my sister and grant you the strength, comfort and peace as you praise and honor him by proclaiming our Lords death tonight as well.

We have just arrived in our old home town. It is our privilege to be able to do this for our Lord.

May any who wish....Come! And take life water free!

Love and peace to you all, your sister and fellow servant of Christ, Kim

First break of the day (whew... and peace to you all! ). May JAH'S spirit and His Son, the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit, our dear Lord, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH ( MischaJah )... be with all of you to grant you courage, as you need it.

If you've already gone to a Memorial... may it have gone well with you and you acted upon what you KNOW is right, in spite of what "men" may think (or do). The same for those who might not yet have gone, but will, and aren't sure what they will do. Only one thing TO do, dear ones: obey. That is the right thing to do.

May those who need them be given ears to hear... and the love and conviction to obey... when the Spirit and the Bride say to them:

"COME! TAKE Life's ( Christ's ) water... FREE!"

Peace, as,Christ gives it, to you all!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shel

Hey Justmom..Thanks!..

For any of you going to a JW memorial..
Don`t be afraid to sip some wine and take some bread off the plate..
Don`t let them bully you..Too bad I wasn`t a mod there!..LOL!!..

Outlaw, lol.


Can't say no to Christ... which is what it would mean for me to refuse to eat of His body and drink of His blood. I did that once, following the rules (of men), instead of listening to Christ. I didn't know what I was doing at that time. When I learned what we are supposed to do if we do love Christ and are obeying Him, well, my heart was certainly pounding when the body and blood came around, but there was just no way, no matter what happened, to say no to Him. Not knowing the truth.

I am sad for them. Also for my Lord, seeing all of these people do everything else that the wts tells them to do in 'appreciation' of His sacrifice, EXCEPT the one thing He said to do. Instead of doing that one thing, each and every one of them reject Him. They do not know what they are doing. That makes me sad for them. And for Him because not one of them says yes to Him, and not one of them eats and drinks of Him.



"This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him."


I did not want to leave. I had made my way across the room, but I just wanted to keep bearing witness to Christ, to the truth of what He said to do. Some of them look... lost. I never saw that before, but I saw it this time. Just made me want to stay until they all (who wished) understood to come to Christ. Made me feel love for them too. Christ first and foremost of course, but also for them.



Love to you all, and may you all have peace, as my Lord gives love and peace,
your sister and servant, and fellow slave of Christ,

Yes, yes, indeed, dear, dear tec (peace to you, dear luv... and I am proud of YOUR courage, as well, as I know our dear Lord is for ALL those who did not deny HIM, last evening!), I know what you mean. I am also sad as to their pomposity, their arrogant "knowing" that they are "in/have the truth," when nothing could be further FROM the truth. Nor so far from that One. I kept asking "Forgive them, they don't KNOW you, Father, OR your Son, or what they are doing/not doing!" Sometimes, I have to take my focus off them and just look at our Lord... because the sadness can become mixed with anger, even a kind of "judging." I don't want to be LIKE them, thinking ill of those not "like" ME... so I focus on him and listening to what he's saying to me at the time.

Which occurred last evening, as it usually does, and I will share that in a separate post so as to not take away from this one (and anyone's else who wants to share) and because it involves a specific topic that I am directed not to "lose" in this thread.

I also wanted to say that your last comments are quite poignant, though. Very.

Peace, dear sister, to you and your dear household.

YSSFS of Christ,

Shel

Yes to all!

There is always a sadness I feel as well. Last night when they were passing the bread and the wine around I could " see" his blood crying out to each and everyone of them pleading for them to just want to accept what he did for them by His sacrifice.

And the invitation he kept saying " ANYONE " can.....and " UNLESS you partake"...

I too asked for forgiveness for them. They know not what they are doing truly.

But it was our privilege to be able to go and proclaim in front of men our union with our Lord.

Enjoy your weekend everyone, love your sister and fellow servant of our Lord Jaheshua MischaJah, Kim

I couldn't attend this year due to circumstances. My daughter's hubby (they have now both left the JWs) his mother died yesterday (she was still a JW although in a home and neglected by the cong) and they were in distress and needing support so I partook at home as usual and took my very needed love and kindness to them and their children, which felt absolutely right. His JW relatives made it to the memorial after her death that they are encouraged to not partake of! So sad. And yes I felt sad for them too.

Just heard that my youngest son (the one a most devout JW), has been made an elder. Let's hope he is now getting the opportunity to see behind the pretty curtains, and get a glimpse of this corrupt organisation they call the 'truth'. I do hope so. Only 2 of mine left in now...

Peace and love to you all and feeling proud of you who braved a KH his year...

Oh, I hope so too, Loz; if he is going to see what that organization really is, that should do it. Sorry for their loss.

Yes, sorry for your SIL's/daughter's loss (and yours, if that was the case, dear Loz, and peace to you, dear sister!), and glad you were able to be of some comfort. Being with them for the sake of love absolutely far outweighs attending a mock honorarium to Christ('s death).

I just remembered something the speaker said last night regarding the wage of sin. He rightly said, in essence, that the price we pay is our lives, but that through Christ we are given life. Which is also right. What he DIDN'T say is what the situation is for those who don't have Christ. Given their teaching (for at least a century) that one "pays" for ones sins when one dies and so "will be" (i.e., is entitled to) resurrection, I realize I can't remember how it is that dying serves to pay for THEIR sins... and so entitle them to life... but not others.

Anyway...

VERY glad to hear from you and of your evening.

Peace to you and to your household!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shel

Loz, so sorry to hear about your and your husband's loss.

~LQ

Dear Loz,

Sorry for the family's loss but SO glad you were able to be with them and bring some comfort to them.
Hope your weekend is going well.

Peace and love to you my sister, your sister in Chrisrt, Kim

I also am sorry for the loss in your family, and am glad that you were there for them, to offer love and support when they needed you, Loz.





This is a good point. Might even lead into a discussion about who the sheep... from the sheep and the goats... truly ARE. And how it is that these are the subjects of the Kingdom, due to the good they did (unknowingly) to Christ, by doing good to His brothers... showing that they have the law (of love) written upon their hearts. Because they DO the requirements of that law, naturally.


Peace again,
your sister and servant, and fellow slave of Christ,
tammy

Thank you all so much for your kind words. The saddest thing is that my daughter has lost her faith. Maybe 11 years in the KH waiting for a husband didn't help, and then marrying a brother and their child being born with special needs. She is very angry and bitter with the JWs, which she has extended to Jah, sadly.

I didn't engage in any discussion. She wouldn't be listening to any logic or reason. She knows my strong faith and commitment. Her anger is probably meant for me too. The irony is that my love for Jah and His son is what enabled me to be there to support her.

Sad times. Sad times. But also an opportunity to show love and that can only be good, yes?

Hey Dude,
Thanks.

I took my mom and it was nice to see all those people that had been at my Dad's funeral.
They all commented how much I look like my Dad and how nice it was for me to take my mom.
Spoke to a couple of the elders that I know, that tried to convert me after my Dad passed away.

The service was, as usual, more depressing than anything else, but I just focused on being there for my mom.
