REFLECTION NOT TO DIE SUCCESS......

[Queen Esther]

REFLECTION  NOT  TO  DIE  SUCCESS.....

The faithful and wise slave is urging us to go out and look for people depressed by the world situation. However, we must keep an eye on how to keep a few striking numbers of witnesses informing us that they are leaving the congregations.
Just as we are concerned with knowing the reasons for the unbeliever's concern, we must use humility to see the why of the departure of some brothers.
It is not good to say that the "so much percent" is very low, since our Faith is characterized by treating THE INDIVIDUALS. People are not disposable and replaceable. Christ cared for individuals. He used his power to help them. He used his time to instruct and guide each and every one. Jesus also trained the men to continue their work. His farewell words to one of his closest apostles were: "Feed my sheep"
Jesus said that the true shepherd would leave the flock in search of the lost lamb. It is true that a few years ago the organization published a pamphlet in an attempt to call the lost sheep to return to Jehovah.

The disgusting Babylon the Great, a specialist in damaging the sheep, will be called to account for the total abandonment of their sheep. The Bible already contains the judgment for these false Babylonian shepherds. But we would do well to read these words with the assurance that it does not apply to Jehovah's Witnesses, especially to our pastors:
(Ezekiel 34: 2-5) "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you have to say to them, to the shepherds, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said:' Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who have become herd-keepers of themselves! Is not the herd what pastors must feed? 3 The fat is what you eat, and with the wool you dress yourselves. The fat animal is what they do. The herd itself does not feed. 4 The sick have not strengthened, and the suffering have not healed, and the ravine have not blindfolded, and the scattered have not brought back, and the lost have not sought to find, but have harshly had them in subjection, until with tyranny. 5 And they were gradually scattered because they had no shepherd, so that they became food for every wild beast of the field, and they continued to be scattered.

When Warwick's project was first announced, I realized immediately that it was not simply a work of men. That sure will have the blessing of Jehovah. Warwick is not a granite temple. Nor is it necessary to live in a tent and try to save the lost and battered sheep.
At the last annual meeting, it was announced that the PUBLIC Watchtower will appear 3 times a year. More than enough. Because the so-called FOOD AT YOUR DUE TIME is only for the dedicated servants and will continue to appear in our STUDY Watchtowers.

As it is, with the drums of war striking harder every day, it is evident that Jehovah is ordering his great military force to administer his punishment. As Jehovah used Babylon to execute his judgments against apostate Judah, the nations are lining up against modern Babylon. In the meantime, let's keep looking after our little sheep.
