The Chatholic's have a definition of PURGATORY.
Another meaning is simply, any place or state of temporary banishment, suffering, or punishment.
To leave the Watchtower organization is a good step in the right direction. Most will agree. Some have even posted that they would go back if things would change. Others positively say "No way!" Still, others are on the fence waiting to see which way to jump at the last minute. But WHERE are you in all this mess?? (see purgatory definition above.)
I think most of you are in PURGATORY, right where Satan wants you. He's got a hold on you, if you can't MOVE AHEAD in a positive Christian way. Have you thought about your next steps in life or are you so brain washed that your waiting for some sort of direction, you act like you still have some kind of hangover from the WT mind control. Now that you have found out that "religion is a snare and a racket", your still watching it burn and adding fuel to the fire. Everytime you find some new wrong that the WT has done you reinforce your self that you've done the right thing. Getting off the broad way that leads to destruction is just the first step. Now you must find the narrow way to salvation.
Ask yourself: "How well do I know Jehovah and Jesus?" and then examine what their will is and how you can fit into that. Make a TURN from just removing yourself from a part of "Babylon The Great" but also: "quit touching the unclean thing" ..."and I will take you in" "And I shall be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says Jehovah the Almighty."
"STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET" before Jehovah. Learn how from His word. Do it with all your heart.....you might make it!
Let's pray for our enemies and trust and seek Jehovah's will, truely incite others to good works, not finding fault but show love and kindness, this will help us WT casualties to MOVE ON in the right direction, out of this PURGATORY.
