wow... super duper sick tonight.  a massively bad digestive flare up.  even had to take mega pills for it...not helping yet.  i am trying to pay attention... but the pain.... nearly as bad as having a kidney stone... which i could possibly have that going on too... who knows.  If my pills ever kick in enough for me to feel good enough for me to take notes, i will... but as for now... it just isn't happening tonight.





Still so sick, but I wanted to post that the local needs was on avoiding the attack of apostates.  

Just as Satan is so busy attacking, he has recruited the apostates to pitch in in the attack against Jehovah's people.  

how one becomes an apostates is they allow their pride to get the better of them.  
they claim to fear God, but they are devious and are trying to undermine the cong peace and harmony.

there are some who were formerly from our cong who have now become apostate.  if they try to reach out to anyone in the cong, we must be on guard.  We must have our faith firmly established by having good spiritual routine in our every day life.  

if they go after the young people in the cong, we must help our young ones by helping them build their faith in Jehovah.

James 1:5-8... if you are lacking in wisdom...keep asking God...he gives generously towards all asking...

If we read or study an point, and we just don't understand it, pray and ask Jehovah to help us understand it.  If we still don't understand it, go to the brothers, and if we still have trouble understanding it, then make it our resolve to strengthen our faith in Jehovah and be assured in time Jehovah will help us to understand it.

2 Thes 3:1-3... carry on prayer for us...that we may be delivered from harmful and wicked men... 

The wicked can't have faith, because faith is a fruitage of the spirit, and it is not given to those who Jehovah does not give his spirit to.
