One flock, one shepherd.

[[deleted]]

It's a beautiful thing that we all serve Jehovah as one flock—both Jesus' little flock and his other sheep follow him as one flock.

 

 

 

Now, If sheep belonging to different shepherds gather together as one flock so as to rest in a pen, it is entirely impossible to tell through outward appearance which sheep belongs to whom.

 

 

Similarly, it is entirely impossible to tell through outward appearance who is anointed and who is not among the Witnesses.

 

Are we not truly one flock?

 

 

If you haven't seen this picture yet, spot the anointed Witness(es) in 5 seconds. If you have, assume you haven't.

Brother Lett was at out Circuit Assembly on Sunday and I had a chance to meet him. While we were talking a sister that I know that partakes came up to meet him. He didn't give any indication that he recognized her as a partaker.

It only becomes obvious when you get into deep conversation about the future really - instead of talking about doing physical things in paradise they will either talk about joining Jesus or steer the convo away from themselves. 

 

In fact, the FDS are only the FDS as a collective - individually they are Brother Herd, Losch etc etc, just like you and I.

I believe the one with the sunglasses is Ralph Walls.

Well, I recognize 3 from my congregation and of course, Bro. Herd.

Took me a while to finally see him, but he's the only one whom I recognize as anointed.

This reminds me of a rumour I used to hear long ago, that anointed ones could identify one another.

no they can't.

Lol.

I thought it was funny at the time, though.

They have never been able to. Such a superpower would be fun though, lol. But they can recognise true Christians the way all of us can.

They will be able to identify one another depending on what spiritual things they talk about. But that doesn’t happen all the time, and our publications discourage anointed ones to try to identify other anointed ones, as if looking for members of an exclusive club (w20.01 Study Article 5, par. 7).

 

Although, seriously, it happens sometimes. And if it does, it might be for a reason.

 

What our focus now is to promote unity in the congregation, no matter what our hope is. One flock, one shepherd.

My uncle always said "I will know whose annointed when I see them up there".

 

However, I must say that they are constantly preaching.  Not that anyone of us are not, but, they really take it to the umph degree.  I mean it is foremost on their minds.  My uncle had a stroke not to long ago and when he was released from the hospital the next day he went out preaching.  Some elders how to go and get him and bring him back.

 

I always tell him "Uncle Mike, you're going to heaven with your boots on".

Lol.

Reminds me of the brothers' leaving jail in 1919 and Immediately organising a convention.

 

What do you expect? Afterall, Jesus gave them some talentzzzz to multiply!

Just think: after the 1,000 years, no more preaching will be done. This glorious satisfying work will have come to its end.

It seems that it would be more teaching then preaching and it will be done a long time before the end of the 1000 years...

Yea, but aren't you going to miss the door-slamming and conversation-stopping?
