Without providing any evidence that I had misused the Word of God, or mistreated any member of the congregation, a kangaroo court of unsealed JW 'elders' was assembled to 'disfellowship' me.  I  was excommunicated, and so were my family.  But by our proven loyalty to God and his Word we were delivered from the fabricated new congregational arrangement of the  "disgusting thing standing in a holy place"     a most cunning form of sectarian "Babylon". ⁽²⁴⁾

Although my eldest son Christopher and I discontinued our attendance at JW congregation meetings, we conducted our own as a family at home, and for a while we continued preaching the Word of God from house to house during the 1,260 days. ⁽²⁵⁾   Diane, Christopher and David were baptized through the "good news" of The Christ.

After having been sent into a spiritual "wilderness", I received further Spirit knowledge through Spirit visions and disciplines. Many were denunciations from God upon those who had changed His "times and Law" ⁽²⁶⁾  to facilitate the invasion of congregations of anointed ones, and denunciations upon the apostate teachings of the composite "man of lawlessness" that were used to "trample" and remove His anointed sons from those congregations. I carefully wrote down these denunciations from God. Many were sent, not only to individual JW members, but also to their  respective congregations. The "Little Scroll" had begun to be written up, and was being prophesied. ⁽²⁷⁾ Commencing December 1976 with the teaching of 2 Corinthians 3:1: "Are  We  Starting Again to Recommend Ourselves?"  The Opened "Little Scroll" of Revelation chapter 10 began.  It is the legal case for God against "the transgression".

What must be borne in mind, is that there has always been an anointed congregation of The Christ on earth ever since his fleshly existence as the first anointed one. This congregation are those who will receive the "hidden manna" ⁽²⁸⁾ of spiritual food for Christ's faithful "other sheep".  Gathered through many generations, this congregation will be 144,000 sanctified brothers of The Christ. Though sent into a spiritual "wilderness" condition while on earth, they will become a heavenly Kingdom of priests to rule as kings over mankind. ⁽²⁹⁾

The apostasy of "certain men" ⁽³⁰⁾ usurping the authority of faithful anointed sons of God within Christ's congregations, and "apportioning out" ⁽³¹⁾ the spiritual "land" of God, was  prophesied to take place before the conclusion of the system of things of this world (the "Esau" age) and the arrival of the Kingdom Rule of God. ⁽³²⁾  Our Lord has adopted this "thief"  like way to separate lawless "goats" of "Babylon" from his "sheep"-like congregation and their faithful descendants gathered by His Spirit.  (Matt 25:31-46).
