"Dear GB member" first off is it Okay if I call you
'Good Brother' maybe others will follow suit?
I have a problem with the word 'SIFTING'.We as
JW's love to throw that word around and there
have been many WT study articles written about
this.
Nowadays when I hear elders and bethelites use that word and it is being used more often,it comes across with such contempt for human life,
that it's making me want to vomit.
Why do we speak of a 'sifting' of GOD's people?
Many leaving the org. take with them decades
of faithful service and please put emphasis
on faithful, is it proper to assume they are deliberately being sifted out by
Jehovah's Holy Angels to be condemned for
eternal destruction?
Were Ray Franz and other brothers 'sifted' out?
If you defect, will you be someone 'sifted'
out of God's favor?
Thanx
LostAgain, on this one.
