Fear of harm and death is totally natural. Even Jesus did not want to die. He prayed all night and his sweat poured off him like blood. He prayed to his Father for the cup he had to drink (inglorious, painful death) to pass from him, if at all possible. Jesus understands how painful and terrible death is. His spirit groaned when he heard that Lazarus had died and he witnessed the grief of those around him. Death is not an illusion or an entry-way to another realm, as taught by Babylonish religion. Death is a real enemy, the last enemy. God hates human death and since we are in our Father's divine image, we also hate it. We value and cherish life, but we know that death is only temporary and we do not grieve as those of the nations do, for those who have did are merely sleeping. Thank you Jehovah and Jesus for giving us the resurrection hope.
It is sad that this sister is tormented by fear of death and Armageddon. Unfortunately the Watchtower Society's continued emphasis on a nightmarish Armageddon can create an unhealthy obsession in some. Fear is the greatest weapon to manipulate people and keep them in mental bondage. (Daniel 3:16-18) 16 Sha´drach, Me´shach and A·bed´ne·go answered, and they were saying to the king: “O Neb·u·chad·nez´zar, we are under no necessity in this regard to say back a word to you. 17 If it is to be, our God whom we are serving is able to rescue us. Out of the burning fiery furnace and out of your hand, O king, he will rescue [us]. 18 But if not, let it become known to you, O king, that your gods are not the ones we are serving, and the image of gold that you have set up we will not worship.”
Jesus accomplished nothing by his own will. Therefore he did not suffer pain by his will power. So he did not experience pain as we normally suppose.
I haven't shared this with you all yet but it is possible to suffer all the physical torture Jesus did but without pain! Without drugs.... it is just a matter of surrendering your will.... prayer is the key...
Women can even give birth without pain! Not joking... (yes, without the use of drugs)
I will try to share this with all of you in the future...
If you have read the letter and understand the present issue that is before all of Jehovah's Witnesses you will have at least made a stand in your heart for where your loyalties truly are.
Every Jehovah's Witness needs to determine and manifest their true loyalty.
Are they in union with:
1/ The Governing Body who undermined Jesus Christs baptismal Law?
or
2/ With Jesus Christ who commanded that the baptismal law should be observed?
I have found since my own loyalty has been manifested here on this forum as well as inside a letter sent to the Governing body and also to each and every member of my hometown congregation that, the thing I am most afraid of now is making a mistake.
Now is the time I need to endure.
If I were to die now I would no longer have to worry about making a mistake.
The thing I am now most afraid of is me.
In this situation death seems more like a safeguard.
The scripture at Revelation 14:13 supports this.
Revelation 14:13
13 And I heard a voice out of heaven say: “Write: Happy are the dead who die in union with [the] Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the spirit, let them rest from their labors, for the things they did go right with them.”
While reading something written by a registered user on Paridise Cafe a thought came to mind.
He is called "GNFS".
Here is the quote.
Again.......you are missing the REAL point here........the MARK is only the SYMBOL that one has voluntarily ENTERED into a collective AGREEMENT UNDER SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT............much like BAPTISM would be viewed as an agreement under JEHOVAH'S arrangement.
Other than THAT...........it doesn't mean anything.........being BAPTISED and UNDER that agreement DOES mean I've made an active COVENANT with Jehovah but it doesn't PREVENT me from failing to FOLLOW what I've promised does it??
What is DIFFERENT here is that just as the BAPTISM is a VISIBLE agreement to others that I've entered into a covenent with JEhovah..........the MARK would mean much the same towards Satan............if would be IRREFUTABLE and likely IRREVERSABLE once entered into the system (whatever that may actually BECOME at the time).
Could it be that siding with the Governing Body and the Watchtower Society in regard to baptism we would be marked?
Could the Governing Body be the Wild Beast as well as the man of lawlessness?
When the Governing Body resigned and gave their power to the Watchtower Society could that be the image of the wild beast?
Revelation 13:15
15 And there was granted it to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who would not in any way worship the image of the wild beast.
Here is a quote from the following web page: http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/reorg.html
At the annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania (WTS) October 7th 2000, some judicial reorganizations were announced regarding the administration of this corporation. The seven directors, all members of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs 1), resigned their office and were replaced by seven new directors, none of which are member of the Governing Body.
How many heads did the beast have?
As you can see GFNS has started me thinking.
By undermining the babtismal law given us by Jesus Christ arn't they:
Revelation 13:6
And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven.
By making a vow to God's "spirit directed organization" the newly interested one is worshipping them:
Revelation 13:8
And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
What do you think?

Re:Marked - 2006/03/25 05:57Hello Fellow Jedi!
Fear or Love? The choice between two types of Energy dynamics.
Fear -- Dark Energy
Love -- Light Energy
It is interesting to note, that Fear Energy once existed as Love Energy, but became disconnected or aspired to independance -- by choice! If Love is conscious Energy, then Fear is also a conscious Energy.
Spirit creatures for example -- (not THE way to look at them, but A way) there are multitudes of them, who all perform and carry out certain tasks, specific to each spirit creature. Now, one could say they carry out the thoughts of Loves source, Jehovah God. So, angels, in this respect, are Jehovahs Thoughts, or Thought Energy.
Both Love and Fear are conscious energys, so, spirit creatures or Jehovahs Thoughts, are not only conscious, but have their own consciousness. His Thoughts or Thought Energy, have the ability to CHOOSE to stay in the light (Love) or go to the darkness (Fear). Everything in all existence obeys Law for continued existence, to do otherwise would consitute Sin or Lawlessness.
Existing outside the framework of Jehovahs Law means to be independant of Law. For a Thought or Thought Energy, to be independant of Jehovah, it would have to exercise its consciousness and free will and CHOOSE to go against the respective Law that governs each Thought. And such, we have the dynamics of Fear.
Fear is self, it blames, it is dissonance, it is like a black hole, it is finite, it has no connection to the source, it is disconnected Love, it is conscious energy -- e.g satan, demons, Adam, imperfect mankind
And since you have Fears dynamics, you also have the energy dynmaices of Love
Love is self-less, it is resonance, it is like the big bang, it is infinite, it is the source, it is conscious energy -- e.g Jehovah, Jesus, angels
The Fear Based system we live in is being ripped apart by Fear-ridden, self based dynamics of energy. While the Universal Court case ensues, Earth is being encased in protective energy to make sure such carcegenic dynamics dont spread to other parts of existence. The dynamics of self, have an imploding effect and as such, have a point of singularity.
Humans are tiny reflections of Jehovah. We have been created in His image, and have the capacity to reflect Our Creator. Our spirit, or Life Force, is a small nano sized reflection of the Universal Life Force, Jehovah God. Like Jehovahs Thoughts, we are not only conscious, but have our own consciousness. In order to continue existing, we must reflect our Life Force within the framework of Jehovahs Law. To do so, is to display and exchange Loves dynamics. To go outside, is to display that of Fear.
satans system provides us a glimpse into many things. One of them is to experince the futility of existence, without a connection to the original source of all conscious energy -- Love! This system also shows us how far independance gets you. How productive living for just ones self can be. 6000 years? I wouldnt call that very far!
Alright Bro --- enough out of me --- more to come -- if I can just remember it -- Your Brother --- Malakhi
