Good morning to all. Beautiful day to enjoy the wonders of Jehovah. This includes today's study.

There are two wonders that Jehovah made beacuse of his perfect love. One is the marvelous miracle that was performed in fulfillment of God’s promise, a virgin bringing forth the Son of God, and His further promise will also have fulfillment, “His kingdom shall never have an end.” Second,that His perfect human body therefore served as a suitable ransom sacrifice for mankind. (1 John 2:1, 2) ) If we exercise faith in the ransom sacrifice provided by God and obey Him, we too can have our sins forgiven and enjoy God’s favor and blessing. (John 3:17, 18)

Another point. Thus, rather than showing favor only to those who are rich in this world’s goods, Christians will make no distinctions on the basis of worldly belongings. They will seek out those who are rich toward God irrespective of whether they are rich or poor in a material way. Never forget that “God chose the ones who are poor respecting the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom.” (James 2:5)

An important point. WHAT does it take to make you happy? Jesus acknowledged this fundamental urge, saying: “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need,” or those who recognize and respond to their spiritual hunger. (Matt. 5:3)

Finally,Jehovah does not forget his loyal servants simply because they are no longer alive. On the contrary, “they are all living to him.” (Luke 20:37, 38) Jehovah’s purpose to bring back to life those who are in his memory is powerful evidence of his loyalty. Remember,If Jehovah does not forget the sparrow, how could he forget you?

Have a nice day friends. Enjoy Jah's creations.

Are you the same ATALAYA who posts on JWS?

If you are, do you believe that Jehovah will discipline his people and bring the organization to nothing before Armageddon?

Jehovah will discipline anyone who is doing wrong.

*** w03 10/1 p. 20 Appreciating the Purpose of Discipline ***

“The discipline of Jehovah, O*my son, do not reject,” wrote wise King Solomon. (Proverbs 3:11) These words refer, not to discipline in general, but to “the discipline of Jehovah,” that is, discipline based on God’s lofty principles. Only such discipline is spiritually productive and beneficial—even desirable.

Yes, I agree with Proverbs 3:11.

Hello Nash. I already answer your inquire. Jehovah will discipline anyone who is doing wrong.

[Nash]

Hi SOJ,

"Hello Nash. I already answer your inquire. Jehovah will discipline anyone who is doing wrong."

No, you didn't answer my question(s).

My first question was never answered.

My second question was replied to with a general statement. I want to know specifically if you believe that Jehovah's organization is doing wrong and if they are in line for discipline.

Nash

[Nash]

No need to respond to my inquiries, ATALAYA/SOJ. I've answered them both myself.

[imjustaskin]

I know that many here are in spiritually struggling congregations, and some have mentioned how the WT study comments go, just reading answers etc.

Today at our hall, question 4 I think it was, about how do you feel PERSONALLY about what Jehovah and Jesus have done (meaning the ransom). The conductor couldn't even take all the comments there were so many, and each person had a truly unique and heartfelt response. More than one person almost choked up giving their comment.

It just touched me so much, because there really are brothers and sister out there loving Jehovah and Jesus with all their hearts. Yes, maybe they are still naive, and no, maybe they don't SEE everything...but the love is there and that is what will save them in the end.

Some of you don't get to have that many positive experiences, so I wanted to share this. I wish you could have heard some of the comments. I was thanking Jehovah for them.

Nash didn't ask me but I want to answer anyway about what will happen to the organization.

After Armageddon, there will be no more corporations because there will be no more governments or entities under which to incorporate. So obviously, the WTBTS will be gone, since it is a corporation of this world. The individuals within that organization who are faithful will likely take the lead in organizing the caring for the needs of people. The individuals who are not, will have been destroyed.

One major difference, I predict, and this is purely my speculation, is that there will be much more local autonomy, as people come to worship Jehovah with spirit and truth and develop a more personal relationship with Him.

And that's all that really matters.
Same thing in my KH. The conductor had to 'basically beg' the b/s to let him move to the next paragraph

What you said is very true, there are many long serving unwavering individuals despite what they have been through who truely love Jehovah and Jesus. Its these ones along with Jehovahs spirit which hold it all together.

Dear truthseeker,

My, My, My, history repeats itself....

Tonight, I've been reading all SOJs posts right from the start. It reminds me why I had respect for him because most of his posts were very spiritual and encouraging.

Nobody's perfect ! SOJ, I love you anyway, bro!
