<div align="left">Get out of her, my people.—Rev. 18:4.</div>
That Jehovah hates false worship is clearly seen from what happens to Babylon the Great. Revelation 17:16 states: "The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire." Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, is doomed to destruction. "She will never be found again." (Rev. 18:21) What position should true worshippers take regarding Babylon the Great? Those who want to be spared must get out of false religion before it is too late. When on earth, Jesus Christ foretold that in the last days, many would merely claim to follow him. (Matt. 24:3-5) To such ones, he says: "I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness." (Matt. 7:23) The now enthroned King, Jesus Christ, has nothing to do with false religion. w 3/15/06 9, 10a

Good morning all I hope we have a wonderful and pleasant Sunday.

Text is very clear Jehovah and Jesus Christ have no use for False worship PERIOD!!!! Our position should be the same should it not?

All I can add is I pray we continue to ask Jehovah to direct our steps, and for his Holy Spirit to help us to keep our eyes in focus and our ears clear and open for understanding, discernment. MAKE SURE OF ALL THINGS AS MUCH AS WE CAN .

It is very hard as we discuss often to keep the information we have been blessed with to ourselves at this time and wait on Jehovah&#39;s direction because it is like a deep burning way down inside of us to want to help our loved ones and friends understand about all these things.

Sitting in our meetings and listening to how scriptures are applied to Christendom when we know different eats at us makes me want to stand up on the chair and say OH JEHOVAH PLEASE!!!!! But Jehovah knows what He is doing and as difficult and sometimes confusing (in the sense of when to speak and when to keep quiet) as it is for us to cope with these things at this time, KEEP HOLDING ON TO JEHOVAH AND HIS SON REAL TIGHT.

My prayer is that we let Jehovah take care of the details while we take care of what he has given us to do at this time. Just imagine how Jehovah and Jesus feels about the goings on with his people especially those in positions of leadership at this time.

PRAY INCESSANTLY as we hold on. (1Thess 5:17)

Col 4:2

Be persevering in prayer, remaining awake with thanksgiving.

Rom 12:12

Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer.

Sisterly Love

Fridays text for April 27 is wonderful, take a sneak peak at Exodus 3:7. If you do not have Examing Scriptures I hope you will join us for discussion of that text. :ban_dance01: :Love:

very true,
Jehovah and his Son do not have any use for false worship, and the cry to get out of her will be in my opinion an event that shakes the human race.
He loves the human race and he wants each of us to know and worship him in spirit and in truth.

i understand watchmans view that just as in the days of the fall of jerusalem the jewish nation were taken captive to babylon and then freed has a future application to Gods people,that seems scriptural and logical,.
However there are also millions of others in captivity by the harlot some of whom i feel sure will recognise the events as relating to the scriptures, heed the call, and escape.
i have friends who are in babylon the great who look after orphans and widows and proclaim the resurrection of the christ.
