Is It Jehovah?

[shikinah]

I wrote a lengthy description last week, about how i had been out of the witnesses a year, but have never been baptised. I spoke about me preaching about Jehovah on-line to various individuals, who enjoy speaking about the bible, and how Jehovah had answered my prayer, by sending two sisters just after i had poured my heart out in prayer as to should i go back to the meetings. They invited me to the group study last thursday, which was brilliant, as the brother had relayed a talk he had heard in the states which was given by an overseer. What he was speaking about, was like it was written for me, he even mentioned about brothers and sisters experiencing side affects from alopathic medicine. I am an alternative practitioner/homoeopath, and was thinking about helping the brothers and sisters. When i left i as so happy, and said its a shame they dont have tapes or Cds to listen to. The next day two different sisters turned up with a tape, telling me its a brilliant talk and i should listen to it. These sisters where from different congregations and didnt go to the group i attended. I arranged to meet the sister on a sunday who took me to the group, but sunday morning i text her to explain i couldnt make it as i have conjunctivitis which just wont clear, my eyes were worse than ever burnt, sore and stuck, i know the text was delivered, but havnt heard from her since wednesday, then i had an incident with my ex, who is now going to the meetings, he said why are you bothering to go back, every one knows your a whore.
He is the only brother i have dated, and that was 10 years ago. Up untill now i have kept a low profile, i keep myself to myself, lifes not great but i get by. But since i said i want to go back to the meetings my heart has felt the pain i use to. It makes me wonder is it Jehovah that answers these prayers? And do tests really start this quick, i just feel so hurt.

Sisterly Love.

Hi Elizabeth,

I read your post about your recent experience, and I do believe that Jehovah answered your prayers. But just because He answers prayers does not mean that worshipping him will be easy. I think many of us, myself included, expect to be disappointed with the organization and the people in it, and use that as an excuse to stay out of the org. Perhaps the sister you sent the text to had a problem with her cell phone -- I wouldn't worry that it had anything to do with you. As for your ex -- what a complete and total idiot. He doesn't sound like much of a Christian to me, and unfortunately there are probably many like him in the org. I listened to Robert's podcast from March 19, 2008 last week. It was about being a part of the organization, with all of it's imperfections and imperfect people. It was excellent.

Take Care Elizabeth! Jehovah knows who is hurting and he will one day rid the earth of all those who cause suffering.

Thank you Nacs,
What you said is correct, i think my problem is, that im too sensitive and need to be prepared for the worst. And your right about that sister, just after writing that post, she text me back, saying how i mised a brilliant meeting and hope i get better. Its funny how you can endure most things in life, but when it comes from our brothers or sisters it cuts like a knife. Funny enough the tape i was given was called "we must have intense love for one another" without it we wont survive!
Where in for a tough and turbulent road ahead.
Thank you again.
Jahs Blessings.

Thank you Jahsdisciple,
this is the very person who has a baby with my daughter. She now has moved on and is happy with someone else. Because of Jesus words, that we should love one another and forgiveness, plus i have a beautiful grand daughter, this is why i have tolerated any of this wickedness. I told him the day he called me these names and said how the brothers and sisters saw me, that he needed to be very careful, as he was serving Jehovah, but at the same time sitting at the table of satan, drinking to excess and fits of anger, while making judgements against others. Last night i got a phone call 1.30 am and it was him, saying that the television came on, when he was out, and a yellow pages book was next to his bed which had'nt been there, and some other strange things going on. He believes the demons done this.
He apologised for his behaviour, but we are so close to the end, that what we sow we reap rapidly. And have to realise the devil is angry and will use any means to prevent us from serving Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ.

Sisterly Love.
