Imayelana ne-Time - Chet's Experience

Muva nje, bengibuka ividiyo lapho owayekade enguFakazi KaJehova esho khona ukuthi umbono wakhe wesikhathi ushintshile selokhu ashiya inkolo yoFakazi. Lokhu kushaye inhliziyo ngoba nami ngibone okufanayo kimi.

Ukukhuliswa “eQinisweni” kusukela ezinsukwini zokuqala zomuntu kunomthelela omkhulu entuthukweni. Ngenkathi ngisemncane impela, impela ngaphambi kokuthi ngiqale Inkulisa, ngiyakhumbula umama wami engitshela ukuthi i-Armagedoni ikhefu leminyaka emibili noma emithathu. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ngaba yiqhwa ngesikhathi. Akunandaba noma ngabe yisiphi isimo, umbono wami wezwe ukuthi iminyaka emi-2 - 3 kusukela lapho, konke kuzoshintsha. Umphumela wokucabanga okunjalo, ikakhulukazi eminyakeni yokuqala yempilo yomuntu kunzima ukuwubheka ngokweqile. Ngisho nangemva kweminyaka engu-2 ngingekho eNhlanganweni, ngisenayo le mpendulo, kwesinye isikhathi, futhi kufanele ngikhulume ngayo. Angisoze ngaba ongenangqondo kangako wokuzama ukubikezela usuku lwe-Armagedoni, kepha imicabango enjalo ifana nokucabanga kwengqondo.

Lapho ngiqala ukungena enkulisa, ngangibhekene negumbi eligcwele abantu engingabazi futhi ngangiqala ngqa ukuba segumbini elinabantu abaningi abangewona ama-JW. Njengoba bevela emlandweni ohlukile wezenkolo, akumangazi ukuthi bekuyinselele, kepha ngenxa yombono wami womhlaba, laba "bantu bomhlaba" bebengafanele ukujwayelwa, kepha babekezeleleke; ngemuva kwakho konke, zonke zizobe zingasekho eminye iminyaka emi-2 noma emithathu, zibhujiswe e-Armagedoni. Le ndlela enamaphutha kakhulu yokubuka izinto yaqiniswa imibono engayizwa ivela koFakazi abadala empilweni yami. Lapho oFakazi behlangene ngokwenhlalo, kwakudlula isikhathi esithile ngaphambi kokuba isihloko se-Armagedoni sibe semoyeni, imvamisa sisesimweni sentukuthelo komunye umcimbi wamanje, kulandele ingxoxo ende yokuthi lokhu kuhlangana kanjani "nesibonakaliso" sokuthi i-Armagedoni kwakuseduze. Kwakungenzeki ngokuphelele ukugwema ukwakha iphethini yokucabanga okwadala umbono ongajwayelekile wesikhathi.

 Umbono Womuntu Wesikhathi

Umbono wesiHeberu wesikhathi wawusemgqeni, kuyilapho amanye amasiko amaningi asendulo ayevame ukucabanga ngesikhathi njengokujikeleza. Ukugcinwa kweSabatha kwakusiza ekuchazeni isikhathi ngemfashini eyayihlukile ezweni lesikhathi sawo. Abantu abaningi abakaze baphuphe ngosuku lokuphumula ngaphambi kwalesosikhathi, futhi bekunezinzuzo kulokhu. Ngenkathi ukutshala nokuvuna kusobala ukuthi kwakubaluleke kakhulu emnothweni wezolimo wakwa-Israyeli wasendulo, babenezici ezengeziwe zesikhathi esilinganayo futhi babe nomaka, ngendlela yePhasika. Imikhosi exhumene nezehlakalo zomlando, njengePhasika, ingeze umqondo wokuthi isikhathi besidlula, hhayi nje ukuphinda. Futhi, unyaka nonyaka kwabasondeza unyaka owodwa ekuqhamukeni kukaMesiya, okwakubaluleke kakhulu ukwedlula ukukhululwa ababekade bekuthola eGibhithe. Kwakungeyona injongo u-Israyeli wasendulo ayalwa ngayo khumbula lokhu kukhululwa futhi, kuze kube namuhla, umuntu ongumJuda oqaphelayo kungenzeka azi ukuthi mangaki amaPhasika abonwe kuwo wonke umlando.

Umbono woFakazi ngesikhathi ungishiya ngingajwayelekile. Kunesici esiqondile, ngoba i-Armagedoni ilindelekile esikhathini esizayo. Kepha futhi kunesici sokuba yiqhwa emjikelezweni wokuphindaphinda imicimbi bonke abazimisele ngokulinda i-Armagedoni ukuze basikhulule ezinseleleni zokuphila. Ngale kwalokho, bekukhona ukuthambekela kokucabanga ukuthi lokhu kungaba yi okokugcina ISikhumbuzo, uMhlangano Wesifunda, njll ngaphambi kwe-Armagedoni. Lokhu kuwumthwalo ngokwanele kunoma ngubani, kepha lapho ingane ivezwa yilolu hlobo lokucabanga, ingahle ibe nephethini yesikhathi eside yokucabanga ezokonakalisa ikhono labo lokubhekana namaqiniso anzima impilo engase iwaphonse endleleni yethu. Umuntu okhuliswe “eQinisweni” angaba nenkambiso kalula yokungabhekani nezinkinga zokuphila ngokuthembela e-Armagedoni njengesixazululo sazo zonke izinkinga ezibonakala ziyinselele. Kungithathe iminyaka ukunqoba lokhu, ekuziphatheni kwami.

Njengengane ekhulela emhlabeni we-JW, isikhathi besingumthwalo, wohlobo oluthile, ngoba bekungafanele ngicabange ngekusasa, ngaphandle kokuthi lihlobene ne-Armagedoni. Ingxenye yokukhula kwengane ifaka ukufinyelela ezimeni nesikhathi sokuphila kwayo, nokuthi lokho kungena kanjani emlandweni. Ukuze uzinakekele ngesikhathi, kubalulekile ukuba nomqondo wokuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi ufike kule ndawo nesikhathi, futhi lokhu kuyasisiza ekwazini okufanele sikulindele esikhathini esizayo. Kodwa-ke, emndenini we-JW, kungahle kube nomuzwa wokuzihlukanisa ngoba ukuhlala ne-End ngaphezudlwana, kwenza umlando womndeni ubonakale ungabalulekile. Umuntu angahlela kanjani ikusasa lapho i-Armagedoni izophazamisa yonke into, futhi mhlawumbe maduzane? Ngaphandle kwalokho, konke okushiwo ngamasu wesikhathi esizayo cishe kuzofinyezwa nesiqiniseko sokuthi i-Armagedoni izobe ikhona ngaphambi kokuthi noma yiziphi izinhlelo zethu zesikhathi esizayo zifezeke, okungukuthi, ngaphandle kwezinhlelo ezazihambisana nemisebenzi ye-JW, eyayikhuthazwa cishe njalo.

Umphumela Ekuthuthukisweni Komuntu Siqu

Ngakho-ke i-JW encane ingagcina izizwa inamathele. Into yokuqala eza kuqala kuFakazi osemusha ukusinda e-Armagedoni futhi indlela engcono yokwenza lokho, ngokweNhlangano, ukugxila “emisebenzini engokwasezulwini” bese ulindela uJehova. Lokhu kungaphazamisa ukwazisa komuntu ukukhonza uNkulunkulu, hhayi ngokwesaba isijeziso, kodwa ngenxa yothando ngaye njengoMdali wethu. Kukhona nesikhuthazo esicashile sokugwema noma yini engadalula umuntu ngokungadingekile kumaqiniso anzima “eMhlaba”. Intsha eningi engoFakazi bekulindeleke ukuthi ihlale ihlanzekile ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze ikwazi ukungena eNcwadini Entsha njengabamsulwa, engathinteki ngamaqiniso okuphila. Ngikhumbula omunye ubaba weJW owayedumele kakhulu ngokuthi umuntu wakhe omdala, futhi oyindodana enesibopho, wayethathe umfazi. Wayelindele ukuthi alinde kuze kufike i-Armagedoni. Ngazi omunye owayethukuthele ngoba indodana yakhe, eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu ngaleso sikhathi, yayingafuni ukuqhubeka nokuhlala ekhaya lomzali wayo, ilinde i-Armagedoni ngaphambi kokusungula owayo umndeni.

Ukubuyela emuva kakhulu eminyakeni yami yobusha, ngabona ukuthi ukungashiseki kakhulu eqenjini lontanga lami kwakuvame ukwenza kangcono ezicini eziningi zempilo kunalezo ezazibanjwe njengezibonelo ezikhanyayo. Ngicabanga ukuthi kubila ekuqhubekeni nebhizinisi lempilo. Mhlawumbe "ukungabi nentshiseko" kwabo bekuyindaba nje yokubuka impilo, ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu, kepha bengaqiniseki ukuthi i-Armagedoni kufanele yenzeke noma nini. Ukuphikiswa kwalokhu kwakuyinto engiyibone kaningi, eminyakeni edlule; ama-JWs amasha angashadile abonakale emile, maqondana nentuthuko ezimpilweni zabo. Abaningi balaba bantu babechitha isikhathi sabo esiningi emsebenzini wokushumayela, futhi kwakukhona imihlangano eqinile yomphakathi phakathi kwamaqembu abo ontanga. Ngesikhathi sokusebenza okuvilaphayo, ngangiphuma ngiye enkonzweni kaningi neqembu elilodwa labantu, nokuthi iqiniso lokuthi ngangifuna umsebenzi onomphela nosebenza ngokugcwele kwathathwa sengathi kwakuwumqondo oyingozi. Lapho sengithole umsebenzi onokwethenjelwa nosebenza ngokugcwele, angabe ngisamukeleka phakathi kwabo, ngezinga elifanayo.

Njengoba ngishilo, ngiyibonile le nto kaningi, emabandleni amaningi. Ngenkathi osemusha ongeyena uFakazi engalinganisa impumelelo yabo ngezindlela ezingokoqobo, laba Fakazi abasebancane balinganisa impumelelo yabo cishe kuphela ngokwemisebenzi yabo yoFakazi. Inkinga yalokhu ukuthi impilo ingakudlula futhi kungekudala, iphayona elineminyaka engama-20 liba yiphayona elineminyaka engama-30, bese kuba yiphayona elineminyaka engama-40 noma engama-50; lowo amathemba akhe athikamezeka ngenxa yomlando wokuqashwa okuncane kanye nemfundo esemthethweni elinganiselwe. Ngokudabukisayo, ngoba abantu abanjalo balindele i-Armagedoni nganoma yimuphi umzuzu, bangangena phakathi ebudaleni ngaphandle kokuba benze inkambo ethile empilweni, ngaphandle kokuba "yisikhonzi sesikhathi esigcwele". Kungenzeka ukuthi umuntu okulesi simo azithole eneminyaka emaphakathi futhi engenalutho olutheni ngamakhono okuthengisa. Ngikhumbula kahle indoda yaseJW eyayenza umsebenzi okhandlayo wokulenga izindonga ezomile lapho amadoda amaningi ayethathe umhlalaphansi. Cabanga ngendoda esevile eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha iphakamisa amashidi odonga ukuze yenze imali. Kubuhlungu.

 Isikhathi Njengethuluzi

Umbono wethu wesikhathi empeleni uqagela impumelelo yethu ekuholeni impilo ejabulisayo nekhiqizayo. Impilo yethu ayilona uchungechunge lweminyaka ephindaphindwayo kepha kunalokho iluchungechunge lwezigaba zentuthuko ezingaphindi. Izingane zikuthola kulula kakhulu ukufunda izilimi nokufunda kunabantu abadala abazama ukufunda ulimi olusha noma bafunde ukufunda. Kusobala ukuthi uMdali wethu usenze kanjalo. Ngisho nasekupheleleni, kunezingqophamlando. Ngokwesibonelo, uJesu wayeneminyaka engama-30 ngaphambi kokuba abhapathizwe futhi aqale ukushumayela. Kodwa-ke, uJesu wayengadlali ngeminyaka yakhe kuze kube yileso sikhathi. Ngemuva kokuhlala ethempelini (eneminyaka eyi-12) nokutholwa ngabazali bakhe, uLuka 2:52 usitshela ukuthi “noJesu wayelokhu ekhula ekuhlakanipheni nasekukhuleni, nasemseni kuNkulunkulu nakubantu”. Wayengeke athandwe ngabantu, ukube wachitha ubusha bakhe ngokungakhiqizi.

Ukuze siphumelele, kufanele sakhe isisekelo sempilo yethu, sizilungiselele izinselelo zokwenza imali, futhi sifunde ukuthi singasebenzelana kanjani nomakhelwane bethu, abantu esisebenza nabo, njll. Lezi akuzona izinto ezilula ukuzenza, kodwa uma sibheka impilo yethu njengohambo oluya phambili ngesikhathi, sizokwazi kakhulu ukuphumelela kunokuba simane sizikhahlele phansi zonke izinselele zokuphila, sinethemba lokuthi i-Armagedoni izolungisa zonke izinkinga zethu. Ukucacisa nje, lapho ngikhuluma ngempumelelo, angikhulumi ngokuqongelelwa kwengcebo, kepha kunalokho, ngiphile ngempumelelo nangokujabula.

Kwezinga lomuntu uqobo, ngithola ukuthi ngibe nobunzima obungajwayelekile ekwamukeleni ukuhamba kwesikhathi, enkambweni yokuphila kwami. Kodwa-ke, selokhu ashiya ama-JWs, lokhu sekuhlile. Yize ngingeyena isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo, engikusolayo ukuthi ukuba kude nesigubhu esihlala njalo “Sokuphela” kuseduze, yisizathu salokhu. Lapho lesi simo esibucayi esibekiwe singaseyona ingxenye yempilo yami yansuku zonke, ngathola ukuthi sengingabuka impilo ngombono omkhulu kakhulu, futhi ngibone imizamo yami, hhayi njengokusinda kuze kube sekupheleni, kodwa njengengxenye yokugeleza kwemicimbi ukuqhubeka nezimpilo zokhokho bami kanye nontanga yami eqenjini. Angikwazi ukulawula lapho i-Armagedoni yenzeka, kepha ngingaphila ngempumelelo futhi noma nini lapho uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ufika, ngiyobe ngakhe inotho yokuhlakanipha nesipiliyoni esizosiza noma ngabe izimo zinjani.

Isikhathi Esidliwe?

Kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi kwakuyiminyaka engama-40 eyedlule, kodwa nginenkumbulo ehlukile yokuthenga ikhasethi lekhasethi lekhonsathi ye-Eagles nokwethulwa engomeni ebizwa ngokuthi yi-Wasted Time, eyayimayelana nomjikelezo oqhubekayo "wobudlelwano" kulezi zinkululeko times futhi benethemba lokuthi ngelinye ilanga abalingisi abakule ngoma bangabheka emuva babone ukuthi isikhathi sabo asimoshwanga, phela. Leyo ngoma iye yazwelana nami kusukela lapho. Ngokombono weminyaka engama-40 ngakho-ke, nginokuningi kakhulu kunalokho enganginakho ngaleso sikhathi. Amakhono asebenzayo amakhulu, imfundo ethe xaxa, izimpahla eziqinile, kanye nokulingana ekhaya. Kodwa anginaso isikhathi esengeziwe kunangesikhathi esedlule. Iminyaka engiyichithe ngibeka impilo phansi ngoba ngibona ukuthi i-Armagedoni isondele kwakuyincazelo yesikhathi esichithekayo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, ukukhula kwami ​​ngokomoya kwashesha ngemuva kokuthatha ikhefu eNhlanganweni.

Manje lokho kusishiya kuphi, njengabantu ababethonywe yiminyaka ku-JW Organisation? Asikwazi ukubuyela emuva ngesikhathi, futhi umuthi wokuchitha isikhathi akuwona ukuchitha isikhathi esithe xaxa ngokuzisola. Kunoma ngubani olwa nezinkinga ezinjalo, ngingahlongoza ukuthi ngiqale ngokubhekana nokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngibhekane neqiniso lokuthi i-Armagedoni izofika ngesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu hhayi esanoma yimuphi umuntu, bese uzama ukuphila impilo akunike yona manje, noma ngabe i-Armagedoni eduze, noma ngaphezu kwesikhathi sempilo yakho. Uyaphila manje, ezweni eliwile eligcwele ububi futhi uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi ubhekene nani. Ithemba lokukhululwa kulapho belilokhu likhona, ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu, e Akhe isikhathi.

 Isibonelo Esivela EmBhalweni

Umbhalo owodwa ongisizile kakhulu, nguJeremiya 29, iziyalezo zikaNkulunkulu kwabadingiswa abayiswe eBhabhiloni. Kwakunabaprofethi bamanga ababebikezela ukubuyela kusenesikhathi kwaJuda, kepha uJeremiya wabatshela ukuthi babedinga ukuqhubeka nempilo eBabiloni. Bayalwa ukuba bakhe amakhaya, bashade, futhi baphile impilo yabo yonke. UJeremiya 29: 4 “Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kubo bonke abathunjwa engibathumbile, wabathumba eJerusalema, wabayisa eBabele, wathi: 5 'Yakhani izindlu niphile kuzo; tshala izivande udle izithelo zazo. 6 Thathani abafazi futhi nizale amadodana namadodakazi, nithathele amadodana enu abafazi, nendise amadodakazi enu emadodeni, azale amadodana namadodakazi; futhi nikhule ngobuningi lapho futhi ningehli. 7 Funani ukuchuma komuzi enginithumele kuwo, niwuthandazele eNkosini; ngoba ekuchumeni kwakho iyakuba-yimpumelelo yakho. ” Ngincoma ngokuqinile ukuthi sifunde sonke isahluko sikaJeremiya 29.

Sisezweni eliwile, futhi impilo ayilula ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kepha uJeremiya 29 singamsebenzisa kulesi simo esikhona manje, bese sishiya i-Armagedoni ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu. Uma nje sihlala sithembekile, uNkulunkulu wethu uzosikhumbula lapho isikhathi sakhe sifika. Akalindelanga ukuthi sizigodole ngesikhathi ukuze simthokozise. I-Armagedoni ingukukhululwa Kwakhe ebubini, hhayi i-Sword of Damocles esisimisa emikhondweni yethu.
