Any who have experienced harsh treatment by WT Society or the congregation elders, or been victimized by unjust treatment from the Shepherds of God's congregation, or perhaps been unjustly disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation, will find comfort in this weeks Watchtower study lesson.

For a minute there DT, I thought the article was going to acknowledge harshness and cruel practices of the FDS and various Elders, telling us that Jehovah was soon going to come, Judge, and clear the wolves out of the Christian congregation.
Maybe that will be in a follow up article.
I like the way the only reason people could fall away is because they have lost faith in Jehovah, never because they have lost faith in the Faithfull and Discreet slave, obviously they consider themselves to be in a higher position if they think people could lose faith in God before losing faith in them.

10 " 'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, 11 therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. 12 When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"
13 " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. 14 I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it <sup>[b (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=33&chapter=13&version=31#fen-NIV-20723b)]</sup> falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will spend my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign LORD." '
How wonderful it is to have such a loving God who can so eloquently convey his thoughts to those of us driven out of his house by the haughty shepherds, in spite of it being written thousands of years ago.
I wonder why this wasn't in the article?
