Be Careful of Modern Day Apostates!



Hello, dear readers. I apologize for my absence these past months. I hope you can forgive me. I've been struggling with my unmedicated ADHD (inattentive). So that looks like forgetfulness and extra stuff. I wanted to talk about the advancing technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence. We must be careful as the day draws near. This goes hand-in-hand with social media. Many apostates are gaining more tools at their disposal from Satan. We must be cautious not to argue with them and not fall for pages that claim to be JW friendly, and vet certain social media communities. I use social media often and have seen some warning signs that the society has brought to our attention a while ago. It is no surprise to us that comments on platforms, such as Facebook, X, Instagram, etc, have apostates on them. When we come across such information, do we give it attention or scroll past it? 

I don't know if you recall a video that the society released where a brother was questioning a matter from the society, and his friend couldn't reason with him and left in his car and reversed. Do we treat the things we see on social media the same, not even attempting to reason with them? Proverbs 11:9, NWT, says, "By his mouth the apostate (godless man) brings his neighbor to ruin, but by knowledge the righteous are rescued." We need to take into consideration that this counsel is from Jehovah God, who inspired the Bible. 

Taken from a Watchtower 1986, March 15, "Do Not Be Quickly Shaken From Your Reason," we read, "Will curiosity cause you to read it, just to see what he has to say? You may even reason: ‘It won’t affect me; I’m too strong in the truth. And, besides, if we have the truth, we have nothing to fear. The truth will stand the test.’ In thinking this way, some have fed their minds upon apostate reasoning and have fallen prey to serious questioning and doubt. (Compare James 1:5-8.) "So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, (“finding fault.”) and it will be given him. But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. In fact, that man should not expect to receive anything from Jehovah; he is an indecisive man, unsteady in all his ways." So remember the warning at 1 Corinthians 10:12: “Let him that thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall.”

We should stay on guard with our eyes as they are the doors to our mind and heart. Be on guard as always. Much love to you all, and may we continue to press forward toward the new world. We are almost there. Agape.

Where Have You Been?

  I haven't written on this blog for 6 years, yikes! I'm not sure who still reads, but I hope to reconnect with you all. The pandemic was something, wasn't it? Let's recap. The losses I have faced. I lost my dear grandparents (one to COVID-19 and my grandmother to cardiac arrest). I also lost my uncle Brian to COVID-19. It was a difficult time for my entire family, but Jehovah got us through it. Because our lives are on the brink of imperfection, I have been diagnosed with Manic Depression and type 2 Diabetes. My husband lost his older brother, Charles, leaving his wife Karen a widow. So much has happened, but we are still serving Jehovah faithfully, knowing that soon death will be gone and that there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. (Rev 21:3,4;Acts 24:15) I packed on a lot of pounds during the pandemic, but lost nearly 100lbs and am still trying to lose more weight. I go swimming at the recreational center near my home with a dear sister from m...

Reflections

Reflections that I have seen in my life... Today I feel like the most unfortunate Christian wife, or maybe I’m just misunderstood often. I suffer from ADD/ADHD and I have often heard that I have a hard time focusing. However, today is just out of my reach for me. My husband and I argue frequently (and, I mean, what couple doesn’t). I struggle with having a mate that is disfellowshipped and I try my best to help him but, there are days when I think I do too much. It pains me and my day-to-day strides. Today we had list emergency info and I was listed as the “head of my household” I felt so stupid because I’m a wife and not a head of my household. I feel like so much disposition is on me because of the disorder in my current family arrangement. Today was hard because I had filled yet another shoe my mother was wearing. She was the head and the mother of my household. I had no father in my life. He was out setting a bad example for us, by not leading a godly father figure foll...

Shoulder to Cry On...

The moment you think that you have a shoulder to cry on... but you don't. I don't blame myself and at the same time I do. I married someone who resists their emotions. I don't feel complete emotionally because I have no one to share those delicate things with. Most people, at least, have a mother, father, grandparents or a super close person who they can bond with emotionally. It becomes utterly personal and you just connect like the stars in the sky. Whelp, I don't have that or at least I thought I would. So hence, I thought I share what really matter to a girl more than guys know.  1. We want to be fondle and cuddled when things are emotionally overwhelming.  I can speak forever on this subject because I often have to shed tears to get the clue to my husband. Just for him to get the drift. Girls are emotional, duh, however scientifically proven boys are more than men. The outlet is more obvious for a girl than it is for a guy. If you're like me who h...
