Apostate teachings and examples stop up true Christian 
conduct belonging to the Kingdom of God and misrepresent life-giving teachings 
leading to the real life: "For you yourselves do not go in, neither do you 
permit those on their way in to go in." 
 (From
Matt 23:13). 
     | 
   
  
    | 
     
 
 
 
 
 
"Therefore do not 
become partakers 
with them". (Eph 5:6,7).  | 
    
     Such ones are
"always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of 
truth." 
(2 Tim 3:7).  
After receiving 
accurate knowledge of the "Way" of The Christ, one must then 
practice it by showing true love to others. (John 14:6). 
It certainly is not the wilful practices demonstrated 
by members of the local congregation falsely calling themselves Jehovah's 
Witnesses     practices to which they have progressively sunk and which 
judge them. When the apostle Paul told members of the Corinthian congregation 
that they could not partake of the Lord's evening meal, it was told them in 
advance of Nisan 14 in order to give them the opportunity to be corrected. It 
was to prevent them from partaking or observing unworthily and bringing 
 
Judgement upon themselves. For these reasons, and 
those contained in this and other letters sent to the local congregation of JWs, 
they are divided off from The Christ: 
   | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Disobedience 
to the Lord's commandment of 1 Cor 14:34-37 and tolerating 
"that woman Jezebel"
(a false
"prophetess") among them.  (Rev 2:20-23).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    ● | 
    
     Appointing unsealed and unqualified men by their  
recommendation.  (2 Cor 3:1)  
    (1 Sam 15:23).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Enslaving 
others as men pleasers to serve them. 
 (2 Peter 2:19).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Ostracizing 
brothers in the faith for their faithfulness
and obedience to the Word of God. 
 (Isaiah 66:5).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Twisting 
the meaning of the Word of God addressed to members of the "body" of Christ to mean themselves:  Unsealed men.  (Rev 3:9).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Prejudging 
an anointed son of God and excommunicating him and his family 
without a proper hearing or evidence of his or their guilt by God's 
Word.  (See Rom 8:33, 14:4 & 1 
Timothy 5:21).  | 
   
  
    | 
     
Cowards without 
faith. 
(Rev 21:8).  | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Showing 
cowardice and being in fear of a brother under persecution.  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Falsely 
claiming to have authority as a body of elders while claiming to belong to the
"other sheep, which are not of this fold". 
 (Eph 
4:11,12)  
(John 10:16).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    ● | 
    
     Malicious 
gossiping against brothers in the faith; amongst people within 
and outside the congregation. 
 (James 4:11,12).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Meddling 
in other people's affairs.  (1 Tim 5:13).  | 
   
  
    | 
        | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Name 
calling and reviling. 
 (1 Cor 5:11).  | 
   
  
    | 
        | 
    
    ● | 
    
 Having 
no Christian unity among them.  (Col 3:14).  | 
   
  
    |   | 
    
     
Among 
the local congregation of JWs all these examples of unchristian conduct exist and overflow     of 
which we were eyewitnesses, both in heaven and on earth.  | 
   
 
"These 
things I write you about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you, 
the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need 
anyone to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about 
all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in 
union with him. So now, little children, remain in union with him, that when he 
is made manifest we may have freeness of speech and not be shamed away from him 
at his presence. If you know that he is righteous, you gain the knowledge that 
everyone who practices righteousness has been born from him."  (1 John 2:26 29).
