Blow the Horn Raise a Signal - 2005/11/29 04:32
Jeremiah 4
5 Tell it in Judah, YOU men, and publish it even in Jerusalem, and say it out, and blow a horn throughout the land. Call out loudly and say: “Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities. 6 Raise a signal toward Zion. Make provision for shelter. Do not stand still.” For there is a calamity that I am bringing in from the north, even a great crash. 7 He has gone up as a lion out of his thicket, and the one who is bringing the nations to ruin has pulled away; he has gone forth from his place in order to render your land as an object of astonishment. Your own cities will fall in ruins so that there will be no inhabitant.
I have sent a personal letter to the members of my hometown congregation.
Sent a letter to each and every member of the Governing Body.
Published the letter on my blog and also this web site.
Given a witness to three elders during my judicial hearing two of which were members of Bethel.
Made many posts on this forum and some others.
I am not certain what to do next.
Perhaps I should start to give warning to worldly people which, would also give a witness against JW's and bring further defamation to God's name.
The verse at Jeremiah 4:15 and 16 imply that this should also be done:
Jeremiah 4
15 For a voice is telling from Dan and is publishing something hurtful from the mountainous region of E´phra·im. 16 Make mention [of it], YOU people, yes, to the nations. Publish it against Jerusalem.”
I now must admit to having the same emotions as expressed further in Jeremiah Chapter 4.
Jeremiah 4
19 O my intestines, my intestines! I am in severe pains in the walls of my heart. My heart is boisterous within me. I cannot keep silent, for the sound of the horn is what my soul has heard, the alarm signal of war. 20 Crash upon crash is what has been called out, for the whole land has been despoiled. Suddenly my tents have been despoiled, in a moment my tent cloths. 21 How long shall I keep seeing the signal, keep hearing the sound of the horn? 22 For my people is foolish. Of me they have not taken note. They are unwise sons; and they are not those having understanding. Wise they are for doing bad, but for doing good they actually have no knowledge.
23 I saw the land, and, look! [it was] empty and waste; and into the heavens, and their light was no more. 24 I saw the mountains, and, look! they were rocking, and the hills themselves were all given a shaking. 25 I saw, and, look! there was not an earthling man, and the flying creatures of the heavens had all fled. 26 I saw, and, look! the orchard itself was a wilderness, and the very cities of it had all been torn down. It was because of Jehovah, because of his burning anger.
27 For this is what Jehovah has said: “A desolate waste is what the whole land will become, and shall I not carry out a sheer extermination? 28 On this account the land will mourn, and the heavens above will certainly become dark. It is because I have spoken, I have considered, and I have not felt regret, nor shall I turn back from it. 29 Because of the sound of the horsemen and bow shooters the entire city is running away. They have entered into the thickets, and into the rocks they have gone up. Every city is left, and there is no man dwelling in them.”
I am not certain who else to tell and I am getting tired.
Jeremiah 6
10 “To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Look! Their ear is uncircumcised, so that they are unable to pay attention. Look! The very word of Jehovah has become to them a reproach, in which [word] they can take no delight. 11 And with the rage of Jehovah I have become full. I have become weary with holding in.”
