It’s a wonder how people with such thin skin manage to keep their insides in.

I would like to thank @JW Insider for trying to keep it on topic, but the rest of you, well just no hope at all.

AMP James 1:22

22 But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].

This would be fine if the True Anointed were to be doing God's will. For the rest of us though it is diffcult to know exactly how to be a doer of the Word. 

Obey 'the message', you say. But who's message ? 

For instance, I left the JW Org because through prayer and study of YHWH word, my Christian conscience said that the JW Org was not the right place to be.  Now you may say that I am wrong.  But who is to say that you are right ? 

It would seem that millions of people follow their own Christian conscience but they go in different directions. 

It is true that the Christian conscience needs to be trained, but by whom ?  Because many people pray to God and many people believe that Christ is the one who paid the price for our 'salvation'.  But many people still go in different directions.

Hence I am pateintly waiting for truth. Because it would be so easy to go in the wrong direction. JW's prove that point.

God, through his grace. If one has the spirit, then they follow in Jesus footsteps.

Psalm 62:5 

NIV 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. 
 

It is the believer's privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor "expectation" indeed. But if he looks to God for the supply of his wants, whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his expectation" will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from the bank of faith, and get his need supplied out of the riches of God's lovingkindness. This I know, I had rather have God for my banker than all the Rothschilds. My Lord never fails to honour His promises; and when we bring them to His throne, He never sends them back unanswered. Therefore I will wait only at His door, for He ever opens it with the hand of munificent grace. At this hour I will try Him anew. But we have "expectations" beyond this life. We shall die soon; and then our "expectation is from Him." Do we not expect that when we lie upon the bed of sickness He will send angels to carry us to His bosom? We believe that when the pulse is faint, and the heart heaves heavily, some angelic messenger shall stand and look with loving eyes upon us, and whisper, "Sister spirit, come away!" As we approach the heavenly gate, we expect to hear the welcome invitation, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." We are expecting harps of gold and crowns of glory; we are hoping soon to be amongst the multitude of shining ones before the throne; we are looking forward and longing for the time when we shall be like our glorious Lord—for "We shall see Him as He is." Then if these be thine "expectations," O my soul, live for God; live with the desire and resolve to glorify Him from whom cometh all thy supplies, and of whose grace in thy election, redemption, and calling, it is that thou hast any "expectation" of coming glory.
