All sects are unGodly deviations from true faith. They are of sectarian descent from the original Babylon, and deviate by personal choice. By this I mean, they are arrangements instituted to suit rebellious spirits and their handed-down cowardly excuses for departing from central doctrines established through The Christ. As to the presumption of unsealed men occupying Christ's congregations and falsely calling themselves witnesses of Jehovah without His having appointed them, their destiny is assured. ⁽³³⁾  Members of sects have one thing in common: Despite having conflicting beliefs as to what constitutes Christian life and its rule of conduct, they all reach the same crossroads     the requirements of true faith. It is then that their spirits deviate from absolute obedience to God and its associated disciplines, and proceed along another path. Thus  their sinful desires are drawn out, and they are judged according to the Spirit of the Word  of  God. At these crossroads, subtle signs of their deviation to divination are revealed, keeping those on this path of self-excuse under a constant delusion (especially when the delusion includes a measure of glory for them).

From their knowledge of true faith, and of the present system of this "darkness", only faithful servants of God know that the path to everlasting life brings troublesome ostracism ("Achor"), ⁽³⁴⁾ persecution, and other forms of hatred from sham-Christians and other enemies. Through her relentless persecution, my greatest enemy unwittingly proved instrumental to the spirit development of my family and I by our endurance. Living nearby, that woman betrayed characteristics indistinguishable from the false prophetess Jezebel     with the same cunning, pouting expressions, cowardly husband, and spoiled "children". ⁽³⁵⁾  So I bless those who have unwittingly helped us through their persecution of us. I thanked them personally for this.
