Happy Tuesday,
Hope everyone is doing fine this Tuesday morning? I hope your day is off to a wonderful start and that your week is an amazing one. This weekend was simply amazing. John and I went to his parents cabin to help celebrate his sister’s 60th birthday. I hope it’s okay to say how old she is, cause in all honesty, she is a beautiful person and I wouldn’t guess her to be 60. Johns other sister Emily was there too and she wrote the most beautiful poem for her Amy. Brought tears to their mom and to each other, happy tears, tears of endearment. What a precious gift that was. We got tons of snow and we enjoyed the warm fire inside and it was especially comforting and relaxing watching the snow fall from the sky. and fill the atmosphere around us. In the photo below you can see the icicles forming.
When you look at this photo how does it make you feel? It just brings me a huge sense of calm. Here’s an interesting thing I found out about icicles. When you see an icicle it means, love is coming your way. It is also said, the longer the icicle, it’s a sign that great days and good prospects in your life are on the way. I love that. It goes along with the film John and I watched last week called The Secret. This film was about the Law of Attraction. Basically, what you put out to the Universe is what you’ll receive in life. This is my new mind set and way of thinking. I will admit, I do have to remind myself throughout the day to keep a positive mindset and not think about the negatives, however, I am working my booty off to try and keep that as my focus. I think that’s what made me think about the topic of sharing today. I wanted to share with you all this view. It’s one of the most majestic photos I’ve been able to capture in a long time. You can just see the glory of the Universe here, at least that’s what I see. Oh, I do have to show you this photo too. We had a little visitor yesterday morning. Isn’t he cute? I hope his family was close by.
When I look at these couple of photos, I am able to bring my mind to a peaceful place. Even with the major migraine I was suffering from, for a brief moment I was able to keep my mind focused on something else. Sure, the pain was still there, however, seeing this view and even being visited by this little guy, the pain became more bearable. In The Secret, there were different people talking about their experiences regarding the law of attraction and how they’ve changed their mind sets and by doing so, they have been able to be in the place in life they want to be in. One woman even said when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was able to picture her life cancer free and she dwelled on that rather then the cancer and she beat it. Thoughts become things. The author of Chicken Soup for the Soul was one of the people who shared his experience and how the law of attraction has far surpassed what he thought he could get out of life. He put out to the Universe as an experiment being able to make $100,000.00 in one year. He not only put that out to the Universe, he believed it. He felt the money in his hands, he put himself in the mindset that he already had the money. How amazing it was when he hit the goal of making about $97,000 for the year. You got it, he didn’t hit the $100,000 mark, however, he did come close. He says his thought process didn’t move to, “well, I didn’t hit my goal,” he kept the mindset that he got there, that by changing his negative thoughts into positive and by putting out there what he’d do to make that kind of money, he came darn close. He became a devout believer in the Law of Attraction and went onto make I believe a million his second year. He saw what he needed to do.
We attract what we put into our minds. The Law of Attraction will give us what we want every time. We need to learn to hold onto what we want. Make it real in our thought process, believe in it not only becoming a reality but being one. Thoughts become things. The Law of attraction is an action. We are opening up our lives to the abundance of enjoyment. We have a future of so much potential. The more we celebrate our good feelings, the more they will be drawn to us. Whatever we are thinking and feeling today is what we are drawing into our future. Imagine what we can do from this day forward. How will we seize this day and every day moving forward? We can turn our fantasies into facts, all we have to do is attract it to us. Out of nothingness, a way can and will be made, we just have to have the faith, the belief in the Law of Attraction.
I am going to be more grateful for the things I have. John and I were talking about this today. He says he thanks the Universe for me, for the boys, for his family, and yet, he said he wants to be more expressive in his gratitude. He wants to start being more grateful for things and showing appreciation for what he has been blessed with, such as the roof over his head, food on the table, things that we tend to take to think about. This made me stop and think. I may not have exactly what I want at the moment, however, I am putting the Law of Attraction to the test. I see myself standing on my own feet within the next three months. I see me winning all my cases. I see me getting approved for the scooter I not only want, but need to get me around town a little bit more. I will put myself in the feel of being present in what I want. John and I had a conversation about putting things out to the Universe and have come to the conclusion, that we need to make a list together. I will not say one day I’ll have, rather, I will feel the things I want now and live with that feeling, like I already have it, and the Law of Attraction will navigate me towards those things. I will be making a vision board this week. My vision board will be done by Friday. Every morning I will visualize my goals, as though I already have them. I have printed my book cover and I will be placing it on the ceiling tomorrow, right above my bed. Why? Because I will be able to focus on that and see it finished.
The more we focus on what we don’t have, the more we draw that negative into our lives. The more we focus on our goals and making them a reality, the more we will draw that into our lives. Three things my friends, three things we need to do to draw in the Law of Attraction. Ask. Command the Universe, tell the Universe what you want. Believe. We have to believe it’s already ours. We don’t need to know how, we just have to believe it will happen. The Universe works in strange ways. If we listen and are open to how we are being guided, we’ll manifest it in our lives. If we continue to fight it, question it, we may end up with what we think we want, but again, we may simply end up with negativity, wanting, wishing and dreaming of what we want. Take those doubts and turn them into the faith in what you will have, the things you do have. Receive. From the moment you give the Universe what you want, put yourself in the feeling of already having it. I see John and I having our dream home and having our kids there, having a 10 foot Christmas tree, a grand foyer. I see a beautiful outdoor space with a big pool and lights everywhere. I see all our loved ones enjoying just hanging out in our wonderful back yard. I see my book being published and John by my side touring to all the Barnes and Nobel stores promoting my books. I can see Johns smile when he walks into the living room to tell me a publisher is going to sign me onto their best seller list. I can feel that feeling. I can feel how proud he is of me and I can feel the sigh of relief knowing I not only followed my dream of writing, but of becoming published. “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”-Martin Luther King Jr.
The secret to success is getting started. Have a dream, have a vision and go for it. It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Can you imagine if we all followed our passions and visualized a better life? The world would be a better, brighter and more loving place to be. “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson. The more we focus on the good in life, the better the good will be.
I do hope you have the most terrific Tuesday ever and I do hope you are all, doing okay and staying safe. Keep those comments coming. I love hearing from you all. Take care of yourselves and until next time, don’t forget, Love Life++
Love Life with Dawna 
Dawna wrote: “You are right. Jesus died for all our sins. I keep thinking about the scripture that says “By this, all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35.
It’s by love that we are demonstrating who we are, each and every day. How unloving it is to not only expel people from the religion, but to encourage people, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters to shun, cut off as though their family members don’t or have never existed. Jesus died for us all to have the chance of being saved and Watchtower teaches only their people will be saved. Young children, babies, innocent babies are to be destroyed if their parents don’t teach them to love Jehovah, the god of Watchtower. We can talk for hours on this very subject alone. Many genuine people in the world worship and serve God. I personally know some who are “worldly” and have a greater relationship with God then some of whom I know who profess to be Jehovah’s people. How unjust and unloving it would be for God to destroy them. I want to worship and serve a God of love, not one of vengeance.
Kingnorth, keep those comments coming. I would like, if you are okay with it, quote some of your comments in my upcoming blogs?
Happy Tuesday new friend and thank you for always giving me something to think about”

You can use any quote or idea you want. It is like receive free, give free, and if it makes sense all the better. Whoever is not scattering is doing the same work. (Matt12:30) Yes, JWs are a cult-disgrace who slander God portraying Him as if as hateful and sick as the WT and GB. It is NOT a good thing to be dragging God’s name through the same gutter the GB wallow in and also have JWs doing likewise.
BUT, their lies form a far more hopeful message so positive, NO ONE could make up a more positive “good news”. In fact, God is no liar. If God and Christ call it THE GOOD NEWS, it stands to reason it actually MUST BE “good news”, in fact GREAT NEWS. They cannot call it good news, then accept religious bad news, AS IF, the real “GOOD NEWS”. No can do. JWs have helped us refocus on what GOOD NEWS must ACTUALLY mean.
(Revelation 14:6-7) And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare as glad tidings to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of the judgment by him has arrived, and so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
(Revelation 14:6-7) And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people, And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.”
That seems like a Kingdom holy angelic worldwide “everlasting good news” Christ arrival offer to all mankind, clear as day in black and white. What else could it be?
Many genuine people in the world worship and serve God, which is a truth back to Genesis 10’s time. Therefore, about those many worshipers of God worldwide, many not even Christian, that is why Revelation 14:6-7 says “worship the One” as a request of their freedom or new agreement at that time, to “worship God Almighty”. The worship of God is a generic reality since Genesis 10 for this world, and so Revelation 14:6-7 is a generic offer to all people of earth to “worship God” which can then enter the total freedom to do so as Christ arrives.
God did not inspire that part of the prophecy to focus on Christ with the offer of Revelation 14:6-7, just the general worship of God. THAT us what Christ himself is all about, then again reinforced for all people doing so, or who want to do it new at his arrival. True, Christ is the focus of Revelation 14:1 and all Revelation 14 missions, but the very worship of God Almighty for all people, is his goal, and it is that generality stated at Revelation 14:6-7 as Christ’s request to all mankind at that time (Dsn12:11), worldwide, guaranteed, promised.
Similar logic is to be found in God’s command to flee ALL RELIGION in Revelation 18:4. When God says “get out of her MY people” they are HIS PEOPLE scattered in religions globally. Logic would indicate, God also has many of HIS PEOPLE also not stuck in religions worldwide. It is a very general statement and logic, that GOD’S PEOPLE are present globally and religion is not what identifies them, God does. In fact, his command is to flee all religion, and all of it MUST therefore have his people in them.
Christ did not die for a little narrow-minded self-serving corporate religious group, he died for the whole human race. He died not die, as well, for a “little tiny crowd” defined by a religion, he died for an enormous “great crowd” that can be in the billions at arrival.
Christian religions claim God is showing up to destroy billions of people, yet the prophecy of the Bible states God is showing up TO SAVE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE. So, which one are we to believe?
As such, the salvation eternal payment is already made, God owns the “whole world” (1John2:1-2) and them in it by blood purchase regardless, already. God already applied that Christ ransom purchase to the whole world back to the beginning, the moment Christ completed the mission “it is accomplished”. That “whole world” will also have many “generally” present worshipers of God in the future, and many who shall become that, fast. There is also various resurrections to recover ALL HUMANS.
At arrival, it has to be just as general as would those resurrections be, and all inclusive of God’s “my people” who He already knows, past, present and future. They will give people globally every opportunity to live (Rev14:6-7; Joel2:30-32; Hag2:7), those who do not surrender are really just part of the problem. (Rev13:15-18; Rev14:9-11) We need not worry about a judgment which is only God and Christ’s anyway. (Rev6:12-17)
That openness and fair mercy is also in the Saul of Tarsus principle that God can also change the course of a person to worship Him properly as Paul was not doing so, when he “saw the light” of Christ, and was shown what needed to be adjusted, quickly. Even if Paul stared into blindness for 3 days, he changed in an INSTANT of time, like a flash of lightning. Christ just gave him a little time to think about it.
Thus, even some enemies [out there right now and in the future], who God knows could be adjusted, have to be saved by God’s omniscience, not human unauthorized judgments. He knows who will become guidable when they also “see the light” in the future. THAT is why these basic principles are in the Bible.
Now in hindsight as we autopsy the WT led apostasy, we see organization which worked for a while, has now killed the place. What used to be a protection to guide the next level of post Adventist updates of prophecy with no detours, ended up becoming the empowered apostate administration of the GB in 1976. No matter what we may try in Christian ministries, the enemy is always active and ready to pounce on any mistake and use it from there on out.
In hindsight, the 1976 self-elevation of the GB is a failed experiment in apostasy from the getgo, and now it is terminal in JWs. Now, they cannot reform, they will not reform, they detour the progress and only judgment accounting is how to get rid of this latest apostate and man of lawlessness guided nemesis.
If the GB was not a man of lawlessness principle, JWs would not be buried in crimes against humanity and sins like they are. They would not be unloving, merciless, and dangerous and damaging to children and families if the GB was actually holy and from God. Instead, the GB are the liars to detect (Rev2:2), and very leaders of the modern JW lawless, apostate, and criminal state. (Zech3:1-3; 2Thess2:3-34,11-12)
In any event, the JW downfall is not “the end of the world” as if that would solve a single thing. It is just a handy WT exit plan and dead end delusion so JWs think they can now just whisk this heap of sins, crimes, [and real accountability] away, “presto!” gone. They cannot, accountability now comes which must mete out true justice at also a worldwide scale of view, just like JW crimes are now in the public eye for a mega-reproach worldwide. NOTHING has brought greater reproach on God’s name than the GB and JW defunct ministry itself. They are their own worst enemy.
Now, the JW downfall for accounting by judgment, just leads to the next prophecy chapter which their evil GB is also subverting. But, it has to come out anyway, and now JW apostasy is the first chapter reality of that prophecy which will have led to the judgment downfall by that time. (Dan8:14) JWs just form a new “ten virgins” wake up event and global signal. (Matt25:1-13) God works their apostasy to form a WT pyre of judgment to actually help light the way for the next phase which takes several more years to unwind, hence the sequential timings of Daniel 8:14 into Daniel 12, and the “seven trumpets” parallel meaning of alarm for global wake up.
Since the seven Christian congregations of Revelation 2-3, it has been a perpetual battle in the ministry with one apostasy after another. Finally, the Catholic Papal system had the same stuff going on as JWs today.
The 1517 Reformation smashed the apostate Papal grip to allow the freedom of the ministry again. The 1534 English Reformation Anglican branch gave birth to the 1609 Baptist branch which in time inspired the 1830s Adventist movement in America and elsewhere. Intermittent apostasy after apostasy is why some of these branches split off like the did.
That Adventist period led to the IBSA from 1880s to 1910 officially, and to Jehovah’s witnesses by 1931. Now, all we are seeing is one more apostasy. Now it is in JWs, same old story. But, the story will not be ending and going down with the JW apostasy. It will continue to roll over the JW “final apostasy” to the next chapter, the one that leads to the Christ arrival.
And in time the ‘next chapter” (Rev10:5-7) must speak his true open salvation message of Revelation 14:6-7 before he gets here. (Rev11:1-17) And the clear and hopeful message is that ANYONE on earth come the Christ arrival, can accept Revelation 14:6-7’s Kingdom of God offer and live, promised and guaranteed by the Kingdom of God as per the same, and other, actually hopeful prophecies.

I repeated this comment here, because I wanted to keep it in the current article, as I put it in Misplaced accidentally previously, sorry about that.
Yes, there is only one place “to go”. Like Jesus said “come to me”, not some organization. So, any “other religion” will just be the same things as what stalled and detoured JWs. But, now that the “one true religion” is debunked they all are. That is actually good news, as common sense could even indicate, it is just to be an “it is what it is” assessment of all humans from all time, since in the past many had no religious context whatsoever. Like Job it was a spirituality “context”.
Spirituality means nothing physical. With religions even their claims become attached to physical things and prove to have physical goals.
Spirituality is just that, all spirit based. The only “label” which can ever apply is God for many people and God and Christ for that revelation of the spirituality leader.
But, he must have a larger salvation goal of the whole human race, of course. We just have to ride out religious claims because now we know as with JWs, it is just for control of physical things, they are not spiritual focused.
It is good news, because it frees up the playing ground again to be as Jesus said to worship anywhere, not just this mountain or a physical temple, but in spirit and truth in the spiritual temple he defines.
It is free, totally. Freedom can have no labels. When it does, we know a slave mill is using freedom for bait. It is a lie. Christ said worship in truth as well, and the truth is FREEDOM has to actually be FREE.
The objective and purpose of God and Christ, as in Romans 8:18-22 is to FREE all creation, even the animals and the whole planet into the “freedom of the sons of God” to be revealed.
THAT is what it is leading to, spirit backed freedom for the whole planet, past, present, and future for forever. This little phase of lies to support the slavery of man, animal, and this whole planet is temporary.
All JWs will do when they final flop in their FINAL fail, is make it all the more real and add a little viv for refocus. They will just amp the whole story up and again as the Matthew 25:1-13 freed “five discreet virgin” whole group worldwide, as known by God, will kick the lights on “again” as in Revelation 10:11 “you MUST prophesy again”. And that light of human participation from “oil in reserve” completes for the age and leads to the real thing in the “I am the LIGHT of the world” REALITY.
That is who it was leading to anyway, only God and Christ can complete the light and recovery perfectly. Religions all forgot that, and stagnated into darkness as a result. It all became about them alone and their self-serving self-appointed bedarkened so-called “leaders”.
The real thing will be very very different. Well, thanks for the articles, I always get some new perspective to consider. Like with the “secret”, JWs are bringing their own thoughts and desires for other, on their own ministry by negative thinking made real soon enough.
As Christian we have to be as positive as we can, because the real thing is positivity itself. They really are “the light of the world” and light is positive in that huge meaning, it is also life as in John 1. ONLY God and Christ are life itself and have it to be applied eternally. Just a little more time is all this has ever been.
Well enjoy your freedom, and yes, LOVE LIFE! There is more where this came from, much more. (Rev2:7; Rev22:14)

I am excited about my freedom and only hope that others too will wake up and truly see the lies and manipulation that JW is doing to them. I remember growing up in the organization, you never saw the GB, and if you did it was a treat to have them at a convention. Thank goodness I left before the JW.ORG site was fully up and running. I am amazed at the arrogance of the GB and how they can sit there and say things such as, if you don’t become a JW, you won’t make it in to paradise. The one thing they claim is wrong, judging others, is what they continue to do and they do it through fear. The videos they show children and the pictures of Armageddon and people being killed and the fear in the eyes of those “escaping,” it’s no wonder I have night terrors and I know I’m not alone. A dear friend told me, religion is for those that feel the need to be in a building to worship, but being spiritual is within us. It’s our own, individual relationship with our creator.
Thank you for such wonderful comments. I too, learn a new perspective and you truly do give me food for thought. Thank you and I hope you are loving life++

(Hebrews 4:11-13) Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.
There are all kinds of directives in the Bible. We have judgment, but we also have mercy. We have conquest but also salvation. We have forgiveness and also condemnation. By this total coverage of subjects, it allows people and religions to form an overview which will come down to motive. That is why God is able to “discern thought and intentions of the heart” by merely exposing the Bible to human beings and religions. In time, the true motive and the things it will stress will come out. Is it about slavery or freedom? Is it about truth or half-truths and lies and an incomplete analysis?
Well, one look at JWs now, and we know what it is in the WT’s case. Control for profit and power. The GB promoted and “governed” doom and judgment and condemnation MOTIVES have fully manifested to terminal now. And self-righteousness for the “only saved group” delusion also manifested fully now. That ministry is in full ruin spiritually speaking now. Dead.
God’s Word has to be free for all people to form their own ideas. Because in truth there are as many “belief systems” as there are aware humans, at the personal level. Christian religions try to narrow the menu of thought to form a little set of manmade rules they all claim are “based on the Bible”. Anyone can claim to be “sent by God” and “all our teachings” are “based on the Bible”. They ALL claim to be the “true religion”. We have to be like the Beroeans, and check it for ourselves and we are FREE to form our own views. Nothing in the Bible said some religion would become the end all definition of truth, Christ himself would, for God Almighty who is all truth and truth itself.
Now what we KNOW is the Bible is “able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart”. We have any angle we want to take, mercy or judgment, positive or negative, forgive or condemn, because it is ALL in the Bible and prophecy. We also have fear or love, for “love casts fear outside”. By this freedom to make our own call, we see Christian religions chose the fear, threat and doom angle. Although they could promote mercy and forgiveness, they only promote it for their own tribal group, and everyone else is condemned, just like in JWs.
Thus, God is no liar when He said His own Word would be able to identify true motives. Now the positive and huge open salvation “message” is all that is left to “try” as individual Christians. These religions will NEVER EVER try this angle, because its now fully identified motive is impure. THAT is why the lights get shut off on them. If we can detect it, we certainly know God to which “all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting”, knows too. God knows WT is a corruption just like the rest. It is worse, but they all play this game of control, and now the gig is up.
Though since after the Reformation as an example, Bibles were printed and some positives come with Christian religion. It did keep progressing the prophecy. But, in time, like with WT, it stalls and devolves. There comes a time the religion “training wheels” have to come off and be thrown away for good.
Now, by the time people sort of inherited their religions, or walked into one anew, the thing has been on auto-pilot drifting into error for quite a while. That is why religions sell condemnation, fear, guilt and doom with a mix of lip service forgiveness, hope, and a “divine reward”.
Yet, to keep people in the seats, the fear and threat takes precedence. Just look at JWs. If they did use forgiveness, mercy and the positive as the priority, then FREEDOM would be a default setting and they know people would know, they do not actually need the religion, they would firmly believe in God and Christ RATHER THAN the religious middle-man. Religions cannot chance their own corporate demise by allowing people to leave easily.
I’ll finish this idea fully next comment, because positive is what will only work, and the JW failed flop coming up will in time also affect all Christian religion flops to come and sorely discredit the whole complex.
That mega-fail coming takes some years overall for the whole thing btw, but it is what will make the “waters drying up” become a future global undeniable phenomena. I’ll wrap it up next time, this is getting too long and the first idea is already covered.
And that is, prophecy allowed religions like JWs to reveal their true motives, and those motives impure and evil, and are for fear by control and so God shut the lights off on ALL of them, in their own time, of which JWs are the most recent provable black out.
(Revelation 2:20-23) Nevertheless, I do hold [this] against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication. 22 Look! I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. 23 And her children I will kill with deadly plague, so that all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds.
When JWs could have repented, they got worse, let us put it that way. And now their coming judgment will show us Christ just got done with the final “temple inspection”.
Thanks for the articles and responses and hope all is well and you are correct. The truth SETS US FREE, because it has to be IN us, not in an organization, not in a religion, or in a material building. WE are the “temple” it MUST be “within”. Simple, free, guaranteed, promised.

Thank you for your reply. One thing that really stands out to me is JW’s have/had the chance to display forgiveness, and mercy, however, they choose fear mongering and destruction of families by getting people to believe that it’s okay to shun your family members all in the name of religion. The God I worship/serve is one of compassion, love and understanding. He sent his son to earth to die for our sins, all of our sins. He reads the heart and instead of teaching that, the JW’s teach that three men on a judicial meeting can pray over a matter and get the answer of to disfellowship, reinstate or reprove someone. No where does it say we need to go and confess our sins to three men in suits who then control our fate with family and friends. You are so right, they have gotten worse. They are blatantly teaching and causing great harm not only to their members, but now they are making videos for the young ones and teaching them to judge and fear dying if they displease God/Jehovah.
Hope you have a great rest of your evening and until next time, Love Life++
