Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (18) 1st draft https://allpoetry.com/story/17155251-Marching-On.-.-.-21st-Century-Love-During-a-Time-of-Violence--Way-by-Seah-Ray "Is there anyone sick among you? Let him call the elders of the congregation to him, and let them pray over him, applying oil to him in the name of Jehovah. And the prayer of faith will make the sick one well, and Jehovah will raise him up. Also, if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." James 5:14, 15. *** Sabrina wept. For weeks... Her mother Kim finally silent; though, not an 'I told you so' did her manner spitefully speak... *** Years ago it began this sullen broken span when this young beautiful man ran into pressure to expand his manliness climb his egotistic peak of prowess not needing to seek titillating partners since sought out by weak sinners, or wicked men and/or women desirous of wreaking havoc in relationships literal and spiritual as their ancient 'father' in hatred and apathy: Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I have not come of my own initiative, but that One sent me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot listen to my word. You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie. Because I, on the other hand, tell you the truth, you do not believe me." John 8:42-45. Wayne's wealthy father gloated in his puppeteer capacity... *** Come, now, you rich men, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothing has become moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted away, and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh. What you have stored up will be like a fire in the last days." James 5:1-3. “‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become abhorrent to them. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them in the day of Jehovah’s fury. They will not be satisfied, nor will they fill their stomachs, for it has become a stumbling block causing their error." Ezek. 7:19. "Look! The wages you have withheld from the workers who harvested your fields keep crying out, and the cries for help of the reapers have reached the ears of Jehovah of armies. You have lived in luxury and for self-gratification on the earth. You have fattened your hearts on the day of slaughter. You have condemned; you have murdered the righteous one. Is he not opposing you? Be patient then, brothers, until the presence of the Lord. Look! The farmer keeps waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, exercising patience over it until the early rain and the late rain arrive. You too exercise patience; make your hearts firm, because the presence of the Lord has drawn close." James 5:4-8. *** February https://allpoetry.com/poem/12244178-February-by-Seah-Ray A pulsating dark demonic rhythm; yet glorious as northern lights dancing hither then dither. These I beautifully suffer as silent hymns-- a dirge. My urgings to peek the exhilarating heights of forever love plummeted into valleys steep. The vivid visuals of orange and other range of cascading colors Lost in the swirling of my crippling despair. I inhale sharply the piercings as the pressure from deep submerging explode this regrettably enlarged heart. The supreme red drippings from past dilated pupils mingling the blues of my spirit sprout royal purple hues as pathetic gurgles escape my throat. I hope... yes wish for freeing release of your drowning apathy. Once crazed I lazily sink dazed hasty to end this lonely month in which lovers gaze over forgotten lunch too amorously near for me to enviously peer. February. *** Thankfully, Sabrina received at her congregation meeting the exact dates soon to attend: “Exercise Patience”! 2023 Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses definitely welcome her faith to strengthen and courageously defend...

When a Christian is disfellowshipped, we might think of him as a contagious sheep that might infect the flock. He is sick in a spiritual sense. (Jas. 5:14) Spiritual sickness, like some forms of physical illness, can be quite contagious. So it is necessary in some cases to isolate a spiritually sick individual from the congregation. This discipline is an expression of Jehovah’s love for faithful members of His flock, and it may reach the wrongdoer’s heart and lead him to repentance. While disfellowshipped, the individual may be able to attend meetings, where he can be fed and built up spiritually. He is also free to receive literature for his personal use and to watch JW Broadcasting®. And as the elders observe his progress, they may from time to time offer personal counsel and direction to help him regain his spiritual health so that he can be reinstated as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. w21.10 10 ¶9, 11 © 11 mins ago, Lucretia McCloud family • hope • love • pain • sad • teen
