"Here I am! Send Me"
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 12:49AM Permalink 
A continuation of a series of articles based on IsaiahAfter issuing a series of denunciatory woes upon his national vineyard, in the concluding verses of the 5th chapter God indicates the means by which his judgments will ultimately be executed. He will acquisition the armies of a far away empire, whistling for them, as it were, to hasten to carry out his destructive work, saying of them: “And he has raised up a signal to a great nation far away, and he has whistled to it at the extremity of the earth; and, look! in haste it will swiftly come in…The roaring of theirs is like that of a lion, and they roar like maned young lions. And they will growl and grab hold of the prey and bring it safely away, and there will be no deliverer. And they will growl over it in that day as with the growling of the sea. And one will actually gaze at the land, and, look! there is distressing darkness; and even the light has grown dark because of the drops falling on it.”
In actuality, God does not cause the calamity to occur, he simply does not prevent it from taking place. He allows his people to suffer the consequences of losing his favor and protection.
Noteworthy in this connection, in his prophecy concerning the conclusion of the system and the distress to come upon “Jerusalem” during the world’s greatest tribulation, Jesus used similar symbolisms as the growling of the sea and the heavens going dark, foretelling: “Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation, while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
Since before the prophecy of Isaiah was written there has been an imperial system on the earth under Satan’s control and each has oppressed God’s people in varying degrees, as God has permitted. The Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian empires gave way to the Persian and Grecian empires, which gave way to the Roman and Byzantine empires, which eventually morphed into the European feudal and colonial imperial system, and finally the British Empire; which is expressed today in the London-based, global, financial/monetary empire over the nations. Over the past two centuries the American system and British imperial system have fought for domination of the world; being symbolized in the prophecy of Daniel as an incompatible iron and clay amalgam and as the rival kings of the north and south.
At this stage London’s monetary system is imploding and its collapse is leading to the impoverishment of nations and ultimately global war and the destruction of modern civilization in the coming short term. It will seem as if the very luminaries in the heavens have gone into eclipse and the vast sea of humanity is being buffeted by a terrifying tempest. The collapse of the present system will provide the backdrop for the emergence of the short-lived eighth king of Revelation. In that setting Jehovah’s judgments will be accomplished in connection with the Watchtower Society.
After being made aware of the certainty of the expression of God’s anger against his fellow countrymen Isaiah is privileged to see a vision of Jehovah himself and seraphs ministering to him in his temple. Isaiah fears for his life due to his unworthiness in the midst of God’s holy presence. But a seraph flies to Isaiah with a glowing coal that the angel had taken with tongs from off the fiery altar and he touches Isaiah’s lips with it, saying to him: “Look! This has touched your lips, and your error has departed and your sin itself is atoned for.”
Next Jehovah speaks and poses the question: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” To which Isaiah promptly responds: “Here I am! Send me.”
In view of the fact that the Law and the Prophets were a preview of various facets of what has now been given to the holy ones in Christ, Isaiah’s symbolic presence before God in heaven was a foregleam of the position anointed individuals occupy in Jehovah’s spiritual temple. As Paul said, though formerly anointed Christians were dead in God’s sight, through God’s undeserved kindness, together with Christ, they have been seated in the heavenly places. And their sins have been atoned, as portrayed by the seraphim touching Isaiah’s lips with the purifying coal.
However, the drama played out by Isaiah does not seem to typify all anointed Christians, in that, Isaiah volunteers to go for Jehovah and the unnamed Christ (“who will go for us?) to the unresponsive people of God.
One striking feature of the book of Isaiah, even a reoccurring subtheme, is the impenetrable blindness of those whom God calls my people. For example, in the 42nd chapter of Isaiah the blunt question is posed: Who is blind as the servant of Jehovah?
So, it is for the very reason that those who are the servants of Jehovah, but who exist in a spiritually blind condition, that Jehovah asked for a volunteer to represent Heaven’s interests to them; the commission being set forth at Isaiah 6:9-10: “Go, and you must say to this people, ‘Hear again and again, O men, but do not understand; and see again and again, but do not get any knowledge.’ Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves.”
Reasonably, if the Watchtower Society is to be the object of God’s denunciation in the near future, as the case is here being made, then who serves as a modern Isaiah?
Just as Isaiah answered the call to go to the covenanted people of God and layout before them Jehovah’s issues, in recent years I have served in a similar capacity relative to the Watchtower Society. After receiving a heavenly calling more than 15 years ago that involved a sudden opening up of the meaning of the prophecies, such as Isaiah, I have also unequivocally responded to an implied invitation: “Who will go for us?” Over the past decade through massive mail-out campaigns to thousands of kingdom halls and the more modest distribution of the first edition of Jehovah Himself Has Become King among dozens of branch offices of the Watchtower Society and various individuals and offices of Bethel, and via the constant global reach of the Internet, the words of Isaiah’s prophecy have been fulfilled, in that, I too have gone “again and again” to an unreceptive and unresponsive people of Jehovah.
Although the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses boast of having unique spiritual insights into prophecy, as Christ said of certain anointed individuals in Revelation: ‘You do not know that you are pitiable and blind and naked.’ Certainly, the Society’s doggedly clinging to their invisible parousia is exactly the sort of blindness Jehovah is addressing in Isaiah.
Next, Isaiah asks: “How long, O Jehovah?” The response being: “Until the cities actually crash in ruins, to be without an inhabitant, and the houses be without earthling man, and the ground itself is ruined into a desolation; and Jehovah actually removes earthling men far away, and the deserted condition does become very extensive in the midst of the land. And there will still be in it a tenth, and it must again become something for burning down, like a big tree and like a massive tree in which, when there is a cutting down of them, there is a stump; a holy seed will be the stump of it.”
The “cities” in this instance are not to be understood as being the literal cities of the nations, but rather, the city-like congregations and houses of worship. As presented in the previous article, the similarities between this portion of Isaiah and Joel are inescapable. And in Joel it is evident that the prophecy betokens the crash of the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
But if the subtheme of Isaiah is an indictment of the blindness of God’s people, in keeping with the very meaning of Isaiah’s name (Salvation of Jehovah), the overriding theme is the complete accomplishment of God’s purpose in connection with those who are blind prior to the unveiling of God’s judgments. How is that? As the closing words of the 6th chapter reveal, although the nation-like tree is destined to be burned down, a holy seed and stump will remain – the holy seed and stump representing the chastened chosen ones who will ultimately become the seed of the woman – the very kingdom of God.

I am in shock, after so many years of coming to your website and enjoying what you have had to say and even admired the way you responded to everyone who had something to say about you or your beliefs, I must say that you sound spiritually drunk, in your own words, why would you feel the need to let your readers believe that you are the one prophesised in the bible, equating yourself to the great prophets of the bible, passing judgement, speaking as if everything you say is fact, you write that we should test every inspired expression, WOW, just read what you write, do you really not see anything wrong with it? Are you trying to start your own following? If what you speak is true and the bible is indeed speaking about you then why must you share that with us? Isn't that something reserved for you and Jehovah? Did the prophets of past speak of themselves in the same light as you? I'm sorry, I really have been with you since you published your first essay, when you had the questions you used to answer so well, the mailbag I loved to read week after week, What happened to you!? I'm sorry but your writings have become hateful, I used to think you were not an apostate and that you were differrent and perhaps I was young and stupid myself but from what I can see now you seem to be no differrent than any other EX witness that holds grudges with the congregation for being disfellowshiped and you just start trashing the organazation and lifting yourself as the new messiah, I am done coming to this website, I'm sorry.
I haven't changed. I have always denounced the Watchtower Society in the light of prophecy in the strongest terms I knew how. That is what is required of a watchman.
People like you remind me of what Jehovah told Ezekiel when he commissioned him as a watchman, in the concluding verses of the 33rd chapter God said: "And, look! you are to them like a song of sensuous loves, like one with a pretty voice and playing a stringed instrument well. And they will certainly hear your words, but there are none doing them. And when it comes true—look! it must come true—they will also have to know that a prophet himself had proved to be in the midst of them.”
Just like the Jews with Ezekiel, people like you who have read my site for years have done so out of curiosity and for entertainment, as if I was an entertainer. But when confronted with the suggestion that there is something more to it than that you become uncomfortable. Well, I say carry on my good man. Go find someone else to keep you entertained.
The Watchman has good intentions. That is why he keeps people informed on vital issues. However, sometimes I find him entertaining as when he twist scriptures and lift them out of context to back up his preconceived ideas borrowed from the Watchtower. This is understanble given the fact that his website is primarily designed for Jehovah's Witnesses and that he was brainwashed by the Watchtower for many years as many of us were. But all in good time truth will prevail. This is why I have dubbed myself as his HELPER, although he finds the thought repugnant. Nonetheless, I pray for God’s blessing to be upon the major part of his work in relation to the prophets of old.

Please allow me to retort to those that need to read and hear this!
Do you not know the truth when you hear it? Do you only hear the things which will tickle your ears? What agenda do you have? Why are you here? What do you want? Do you want good association or chaos?
Ok, enough! Let us move on beyond the trouble and failings of the Watchtower Bible and Tact Society. There has been too many websites and words devoted to destroying this borg-org. Let us from now on, talk about and prepare for the future, Talk about Jehovah, His son Jesus, etc…. –That is a loaded statement, huh?
Also, don’t follow anything or any human. Follow Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ. When you listen and pay attention, you can decipher the difference and move on from that which is false. Hence forth the reason why so many people have walked away from organized religion and certain teachings of the WTB&TS. Humble yourself before GOD. Pretty simple instructions when you think about it. Do your research and know the truth!
To those that will listen,
For some time now, I have read watched and listened to many people attack and generally belittle Robert King, e-watchman’s website, the many videos, podcasts and so forth. The bottom line is this folks; if you don’t like the free and honest information given out, simply move on and never look back! Now how hard is that? But no, some of you like the fight and wish to harass and go on some type of “crusade of destruction and edification”. It is easy to sit behind a computer screen and attack some one or some thing isn’t it? How brave you must be!
Some of you posters –people—are amazing and dare I say some are down right petty! There have been great words of advice, wisdom, facts, common sense, good association and Scriptural lessons & warnings for all people. How come many people that frequent e-watchman’s website, always look for a way to tear down, to look for faults, and jump at a chance to discredit, demonize and attack people and Robert King himself? And let us not forget about the ever going on “one up-man-ship” posts so many people enjoy doing! Do any of you receive enjoyment out of this type of behavior? Are you just “preaching up a storm” and ultimately have no idea of what you are talking about? Some of you must! If a person is wrong, so be it! Let the chips fall where they may! But please, let us use some form of decorum.
I know I make my share of mistakes and blunders. Notice I am using the word “I”. Now, how else can I explain it? E-watchman is not trying to draw glory, attention or asking for any type of following from people. Why do so many of you supposedly “scripturally educated” people act like venomous reptiles searching for their next meal? IF you have a great disagreement and wish to vent, send a private email to e-watchman. Hash it out that way; don’t look for your own grandstanding glory hole in public. But, I have seen instances over the past forty years that would require such an outburst in various religious discussions on many forums. However, there have been no such of a need on this website.
Jehovah, His Son Jesus Christ, “the good news,” and much more are openly available for those that desire it. The door will not be open forever. IF you don’t want to hear it, see it, read it or talk about it in a positive manner which will benefit everyone; please, by all means, move on! You have the freedom to do so and make your own choice. That my friends, this is what it is all about.
I better stop for now. This old guy has work to do! --LOL
Your Brother,
KIM
Watchman wrote: “The collapse of the present system will provide the backdrop for the emergence of the short-lived eighth king of Revelation. In that setting, Jehovah’s judgments will be accomplished in connection with the Watchtower Society.”
In what way will God’s judgments “be accomplished in connection with the Watchtower Society”?
For starters, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that as an organization they are on the narrow road that leads to everlasting life. In principle the road to life is cramp and narrow as the Bible points out. But why do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that as an organization they are on this road?
The Watchtower has painstakingly demonstrated that Christendom is a counterfeit kingdom destined to be destroyed by worldly governments. This they say will start a period of global distress known as “the great tribulation,” which will then lead to the destruction of the entire wicked system of things controlled by the Devil. But what does the Bible say as to the ordering of events leading to the tribulation?
As e-Watchman correctly observed, “the collapse of the present system will provide the backdrop of the emergence of the eight king of Revelation.” That means the 8th king has not yet appeared on the world scene. So contrary to the Watchtower’s teaching this king is not the UN. However, the UN is in a unique position to rise as a global world power under desperate conditions that would call for its empowerment over all the nations. Needless to say no such conditions exist yet.
As tension rises among the nations, the likelihood of a nuclear exchange leading to a Third World War will become inevitable. Under this scenario powerful forces will quickly mobilize to subjugate the world into a tyrannical grip from which it cannot escape, resulting in an all-out push for world hegemony among two competing blocs of nations representing the king of the north and the king of the south.
Consequently, the Bible indicates a process that will lead up to the short-lived glory of the king of the north as noted in the 11th chapter of Daniel:
“And in the time of [the] end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships; and he will certainly enter into the lands and flood over and pass through. He will also actually enter into the land of the Decoration, and there will be many [lands] that will be made to stumble.”
So without a doubt, this end time king of the north will prove to be the 8th king of Revelation. At the onset of the tribulation, the 8th king will be indistinguishable, because first to appear on the world scene will be the beast that rises out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns. John described this composite beast as follows, as shown in the 13th chapter of Revelation:
“And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names. Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority.”
Afterward, John “saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon. And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed. And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.”
This second beast that ascends out of the earth is the same end time “king of the north” and “king of fierce countenance” in Daniel, as seen by the fact that “it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast.” The preponderance of evidence shows that the 8th king will prove to be the Devil.
So in actuality it is the devil that is empowered for 42 months during the tribulation. He will use religion and the political system, as represented by the seven blasphemous heads and the ten horns of the composite beast respectively to eventually set up his one-world government.
Thus elsewhere, in Revelation 9, John describes him as “the angel of the abyss” and as coming from the Euphrates, the direction of the north as he floods over the land [the whole earth], as Daniel puts it. Later this symbolic River Euphrates is dried, allowing for the destruction of this wicked system of things by “the kings from the rising of the sun,” representing God and the greater Cyrus, Jesus Christ. –Rev 16:12
So throughout this process there is no indication that the tribulation will start with the destruction of false religion. In fact false religion will be an instrument of the devil which he will use during his short-lived glory to set up his tyrannical totalitarian system over mankind.
KIM,
It's important for people to express their thoughts while there's still time to do so in a free society. So you are going to find people presenting arguments for or against what the Watchman has written in this public forum. This is what the Watchman is doing as he attempts to pry open the eyes of Jehovah’s Witnesses from the Watchtower idol “in the strongest of terms.” I don’t think he is a disaffected Witness holding a grudge against the Society. And if someone has a grudge, let them vent their emotion. Hopefully, somewhere down the line they will get rid of it. That’s something to pray for.
Watchman,
while Isaiah 6 certainly portrays the spiritual dishonesty and intransigence of the WT sect - as most prominently and ably exposed by you - we need to consider that any modern day fulfilment will be directed against the whole of contemporary 'Jerusalem,' not just the WT component of Christianity, but all of God's erring, nominal people in Christendom.
I think its pretty brave to go on the internet and declare Jehovah's prnouncements against this world controlled by satan and his demons, also declaring Jehovahs pronouncements against the WTBTS..and also put your picture and your name on the net.. Thats Very brave..especially when there are brothers saying the same things that don't give their name...whoever says it,, Jehovah will make sure its said....
By the way, can I have an autographed T-shirt????? (just kidding)
Moses stood up to Pharaoh
Ester to stood up to Haman, in front the King
Abigail had to cross her stupid husband Nabal to save his life..
Daniel had to talk face to face with Nebuchadnezzer... \Paul went before Cearser, not a small matter....
and then they were tossed into the lions pit
and then there was Stephen who was stoned by a mob...who he no doubt grew up with..new personally
Today, is it so shocking that Jehovah would have His pronouncements made known?" I am grateful for this information and will continure to test it out and read the Bible .now for some 47 years...
Now , if you had printed autographed T-shirts, that would worry me..
so, can I have a coffee mug?
Br. King, May Jehovah bless you ..
When the Internet is shut down & the powers that be DO have their shutdown "switch" its on the website,
this "generous SITE " leading to Bible research & many reaching out to GOD Jehovah, & finding His SON again,
after being "blind sided" for how many years.........how can anyone put a PRICE on that ?
Many have been "out of line" not appreciating the spiritual food on e-watchmans sites, & we easily recognise
those in opposition to the t
"truths" on these blogs who are so devoted to their Watchtower IDOL that they must have great difficulty
praying to the "True GOD" let alone :: reaching out to the ONE chosen to be the PRINCE of PEACE , LORD of LORDS,
KING of KINGS --- ETERNAL FATHER, have "bought" Sons for His Father from the nations of the Earth, drawing
them in with the Helper, sent through the SON for the FATHER..
IF YOU dont "get it" then dont WASTE your time, but please think twice before entering your "vitriol" against
the MAN who have DEVOTED the rest of his LIFE in this system of things, in other words "great sacrifices"
every day of his life to "bring good news & bible prophecy" that without his blogs, we would have been
virually still saying to ourselves WHAT was it all about !!
No one can estimate how serious the DAMAge TO A HUMAN who has put their lives & trust in an organisation
who for decades with mind control tactics has led millions in a cult-ish fashion to "follow the yellow brick line"
in the NAME of GOD.....there is NO other religion, or religious organisation in the entire EARTH as reprehensible
as the WTB&TS &&& until the Internet is closed down, it is OUR responsible to devout ourselves to
EXPOSING this , in the NAME OF GOD ...!!... thank you.
OK, I have an idea I think would help all of us, including myself, Watchman says he is a Watchman, although more emphasis is being being placed on, From the Bible, but really it is no different, he has been saying this from the start. I think that the best way to question Robert, is from his own words, so how about We understand what he has wrote in the book that he.......... made. A person once told me, whenever you are presented with a word you do not know, use that word three times and you own it.Although I don't think this person was talking about the Bible, it is correct! Where is that verse at, A two or three strand cord is Strong!
Hello A Stone Crying Out,
You said
"Under this scenario powerful forces will quickly mobilize to subjugate the world into a tyrannical grip from which it cannot escape, resulting in an all-out push for world hegemony among two competing blocs of nations representing the king of the north and the king of the south."
Respectfully, my question is that your understanding is that England and America are not KOTN and KOTS but they (KOTN and KOTS) are 2 competing blocs of nations?

And not only that KOTN & KOTS are 2 competing blocs of nations but they won't be identified until after ".... a nuclear exchange leading to a Third World War......"? Am I wronged? Appreciate your reply.
Sadly, entertainment is all your website has managed to accomplish, you are quite the speaker Mr. King but you lack the real qualities of an annointed brother, the most obvious is humility, you are viscious and easy to anger, you are blasphemous and arrogant...does anyone really not see anything wrong with this?
Just as Isaiah answered the call to go to the covenanted people of God and layout before them Jehovah’s issues, in recent years I have served in a similar capacity relative to the Watchtower Society. After receiving a heavenly calling more than 15 years ago that involved a sudden opening up of the meaning of the prophecies, such as Isaiah, I have also unequivocally responded to an implied invitation: “Who will go for us?” Over the past decade through massive mail-out campaigns to thousands of kingdom halls and the more modest distribution of the first edition of Jehovah Himself Has Become King among dozens of branch offices of the Watchtower Society and various individuals and offices of Bethel, and via the constant global reach of the Internet, the words of Isaiah’s prophecy have been fulfilled, in that, I too have gone “again and again” to an unreceptive and unresponsive people of Jehovah.
I believe what Mr. King wants us to do is build an alter to him or perhaps pray to him for being so vocal and proactive by coming to this unreceptive and unresponsive people and denouncing them for their personal offense to his own original ideas. Maybe if the organization asked you back and reinstated you as an equal human and not this super god you have made yourself out to be you wouldnt be so bitter....wait, no, don't do that, who will entertain us then! :p
Hi Daniel
I thought you were done coming to this website. LOL
Daniel,
"....you are blasphemous.." Please specifically explain how Robert King is or ever has been blasphemous.
WE would like to know. WE also caution you about making false accusations.
will you describe to all how you have received your "calling" Daniel, and how is it, Paul said that you are already
ruling ? (sitting on your judgement throne)
Please be kind enough to set up YOUR OWN WEBSITE and please be honest with your interpretations,
else we will "refine & refute" your fine works,, but IF you cannot PROVE that you are indeed, one of God's "chosen ones"you can refrain from "bragging" about your "position in the WT B-org (IDOL)
You see, if you were really "genuine" you would have taken the time to not only peruse the e-watchmans blogs
but "enjoyed tremendously" our input within the forums so generously offered by the "owner of these sites"
Hope your reply will be forthcoming with the humility & forbearance deserving of our attention, thank you
Perplexed,
Simply put, the pushing between the king of the north and the king of the south consists of a parade of kings and leaders on the march to oblivion. (Read Ezekiel 32:1-32)
In this procession, however, One King that did not offer any resistance or pushing stood out in the eyes of God Almighty as being the One with the legal right to receive an everlasting kingdom, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God. (Read John 18:37; 3:16; Ezekiel 21:25-27; Luke 1:30-33)
By means of his sacrificial death on the torture stake, Jesus stripped the governments and the authorities bare as if by a triumphal procession, exhibiting them in open public as conquered, thus opening the road to everlasting life for all righteously disposed individuals. (Read Colossians 2:15; John 17:3)
Daniel,
1. Are you one of those people that ride a bicycle around going ding, ding with the bell? It seems to me your friend was on a different post several months ago. Perhaps, you too, forgot to take your medication, is this true? --LOL
2. Nobody here needs to defend Robert King as he is very capable of doing it himself. However, most of us surmise that Mr. King has much more integrity than to fool with a jealous wannabe such as your self. Didn't the WTB&TS give you the attention you crave? and now you surf the internet looking for those that you wish to aspire to become? How pathetic! Ding, ding Daniel!
3. Mr. King has earned the respect of those that frequent his website and these same people consider him a spiritual brother worshiping Jehovah and helping those that need explanation and encouragement. It is tough to do the basics in this world let alone accomplish the things that brother King has done. Of course Daniel, all you have done is give lip-service to preaching the good news, huh? Ding, ding Daniel!
4. Now, to help you out Daniel, I will spend my own money and have a custom made t-shirt for you that reads "Ding-Ding my name is Daniel and my new best friend is e-Watchman.com " I will also ship it to you free of charge.
5. If you wish, please send a photo of your bicycle and I will include that on the front and back of the t-shirt.
Obviously, please include a shipping address when you send in the picture of your bicycle.
I do hope you can now feel special and have that warm and fuzzy feeling you so greatly desire!
Sincerely, and a happy ding, ding to you!
KIM
LOL ....LOL, .....JUST FELL DOWN LAUGHING!
KIM
It appears that you are making fun of Daniel. You seem to be a pretty immature fellow making fun of others. Perhaps you can get yourself a T-shirt that says “I AM IMMATURE,” as oppose to the ding, ding bicycle T-shirt you are proposing in derision to your brother. Or do you think you are somehow superior than he is? (Read Matthew 23:8)
Stone,
There comes a time when everyone should step down off of their soap box and preaching platform and handle the situation the old fashioned way. There comes a time for people to use a sword. Do YOU know when? Or do YOU even have the faintest idea of what I am talking about? Perhaps YOU should read the words of Jesus a little closer and see what verses I am referring to, huh?
If you or anyone else is not man or woman enough, so to speak; - to put someone like this in their place, well then, you get what you deserve! Sorry, I have been around way too long to tolerate the likes of such hypocrites. Just go ahead and let their evil plant seeds of doubt and mistrust. That is all it takes! Besides, perhaps all of this is a test to see who will aid those in need? There is more going on than meets the eye!
Immature? I have always been more serious than need be in most cases. I should lighten up a bit! Depends on your world view and your knowledge base in which you draw upon. Sometimes, embarrassment is all a person needs to experience -- to straighten up and get back on track.
When it comes to people, you must analyze what is the best routine to follow when it becomes apparent that the "civilized way" is not working. But then, there is a method and reason for all things? Ever hear that statement before? Perhaps all of us have been duped.
And Stone, don't you dare try to toss Scripture against me. I know my methods. I have been at this "warrior" business before your time. Don't entice my human side.
I am not here to fence with you or anyone else. Nor do I brag or boast or type Scripture after Scripture like many do as if to impress others about their Scriptural knowledge and understanding.
But I also hear what you are saying and the points that are important to you. Geeze! That's all I do is hear what people are saying! Understand?
So, I get it.
You have a nice day and be happy!
KIM
KIM,
I am not happy with anyone who makes fun of others. That's immature, period. Instead of poking fun at Daniel, you ought to be praying for him. When you elevate yourself above others by whatever means, you are being an arrogant pomp.
Stone,
You fail to get the message or even understand. AND at no time do I place myself above others. Most of the time I (and a select few others) are always doing the work nobody else wants to do. So, my dear friend, no way can I be above anyone else.---EVER! Have a nice day!
PS
I still love you as a brother!
KIM
Kim,
you are funny! ding, ding! lol
Kim,
bro, do not cast your pearls before..
Lee
Kim,
Check your email. Call me later bro. Oh, be nice!
lol
Ax
KIM,
At least Kathy thinks you're funny. But I don't see anything funny about your derogatory post to Daniel. Is he less of a human being than the Watchman that you are extolling? Do you think that the Watchman wants to be extolled while at the same time you are putting another person down. I mean think about it. What does your common sense tell you? Since you don’t want me to throw scriptures at you, here’s one you should be able to catch:
Luke 17:7-10
“Who of YOU is there that has a slave plowing or minding the flock who will say to him when he gets in from the field, ‘Come here at once and recline at the table’? Rather, will he not say to him, ‘Get something ready for me to have my evening meal, and put on an apron and minister to me until I am through eating and drinking, and afterward you can eat and drink’? He will not feel gratitude to the slave because he did the things assigned, will he? So YOU, also, when YOU have done all the things assigned to YOU, say, ‘We are good-for-nothing slaves.
