Freeatlast, I can only return that thankfulness, that you`re on this site...it really warms my heart, when I see that years in TF couldn`t squench that real fire/faith of & for the Lord & I remember with joy many
testimonies of TFmembers, who just asked Jesus in childlike faith into their hearts...I also should catch up on all your postings, I liked lots...let my people go of yours...I guess we all still have lots to learn & my comfort is, that in other churches it`s often just a similar "learning-gap"
I think,
we should really adress the TFfolks more...I consider our improved life a welcome contradiction to former TF-opinion, that a "backslider" has it so tough, he will want to come running back to those old "folds", having no better place to go, to whom shall we go?,... well certainly not to TF-deceivers...my kids & I e.g.
are just doing very fine, other exmembers, from what I read, much more so, but even in the way of witnessing
I have not that guiltfeeling anymore, of ripping people off under false pretenses..
So the message to TF is, leaving TF is not harmful to you, getting clobbered constantly by the Lord (of course, if we have severe personal problems, we can get chastened as much in as out)
Having said that, I like to add it`s really high time 4`m to leave, why???After all, people in TF would like to go to heaven & it seems very much to me from the scripture, that people could miss that, unless they heavily repented & changed their course, but that`d be either the end of the family
as we know it...THE ULTIMATE REVOLUTION...for once
turning in the right direction...including leadership... or deceiving, ever yet deluding leadership & some old bottles are left, staying
by themselves & rot by themselves...
"Know ye not, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (arsenokoites = in bed with someone of male gender, young or older...
guilty of that fornication), nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God."
1. Corinthians 6:9,10
"For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
Revelations 22:15
TF likes to think, they all belong to the five wise virgins????Consider the following:
"Many will say to me that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in my name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Matthew 7:22,23
They all think that of other weird cults & churches,...does the shoe fit???Wear it!...better
yet, repent! (means a change of thinking, more the way God thinks...& that you won`t get from the GNs)
What to do??
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
1. Corinthians 5:11
They think in Revelations they resemble the church of Philadelphia.Really??...To many other churches HE says:
REPENT ....I have nothing to add (except, that TF resembles to my opinion the church of Thyatira,
it fits so perfectly...Jezebel/Zerby...selfprofessed prophetess...fornication...occupying themselves with the depths of Satan...
It`s not too late yet to repent & to get out!!!!
