Apostate teachings and examples stop up true Christian conduct belonging to the Kingdom of God and misrepresent life-giving teachings leading to the real life: "For you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit those on their way in to go in."  (From Matt 23:13).






"Therefore do not
become
partakers
with them".
(Eph 5:6,7).

Such ones are "always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth." (2 Tim 3:7). After receiving accurate knowledge of the "Way" of The Christ, one must then practice it by showing true love to others. (John 14:6). It certainly is not the wilful practices demonstrated by members of the local congregation falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses     practices to which they have progressively sunk and which judge them. When the apostle Paul told members of the Corinthian congregation that they could not partake of the Lord's evening meal, it was told them in advance of Nisan 14 in order to give them the opportunity to be corrected. It was to prevent them from partaking or observing unworthily and bringing Judgement upon themselves. For these reasons, and those contained in this and other letters sent to the local congregation of JWs, they are divided off from The Christ:
 

 

Disobedience to the Lord's commandment of 1 Cor 14:34-37 and tolerating "that woman Jezebel" (a false "prophetess") among them.  (Rev 2:20-23).

 

Appointing unsealed and unqualified men by their recommendation.  (2 Cor 3:1)  (1 Sam 15:23).

 

Enslaving others as men pleasers to serve them.  (2 Peter 2:19).

 

Ostracizing brothers in the faith for their faithfulness and obedience to the Word of God.  (Isaiah 66:5).

 

Twisting the meaning of the Word of God addressed to members of the "body" of Christ to mean themselves:  Unsealed men.  (Rev 3:9).

 

Prejudging an anointed son of God and excommunicating him and his family without a proper hearing or evidence of his or their guilt by God's Word.  (See Rom 8:33, 14:4 & 1 Timothy 5:21).

Cowards without faith.
(Rev 21:8).

Showing cowardice and being in fear of a brother under persecution.

 

Falsely claiming to have authority as a body of elders while claiming to belong to the "other sheep, which are not of this fold".  (Eph 4:11,12)  (John 10:16).

 

Malicious gossiping against brothers in the faith; amongst people within and outside the congregation.  (James 4:11,12).

 

Meddling in other people's affairs.  (1 Tim 5:13).

 

Name calling and reviling.  (1 Cor 5:11).

 

Having no Christian unity among them.  (Col 3:14).

 

Among the local congregation of JWs all these examples of unchristian conduct exist and overflow     of which we were eyewitnesses, both in heaven and on earth.

"These things I write you about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in union with him. So now, little children, remain in union with him, that when he is made manifest we may have freeness of speech and not be shamed away from him at his presence. If you know that he is righteous, you gain the knowledge that everyone who practices righteousness has been born from him."  (1 John 2:26 29).
