Has anyone else had Update #10 played during their weeknight meeting this week? Our meeting is tonight and the brother said they are substituing it for the first part under Living As Christians. Wasn't sure if that was direction from GB or just our congregation elders?
Miss Quote Of Scripture In Video Update #10
Brother Morris’s quotes Ezekiel 34:15,16 in association with Jehovah’s lost/scattered sheep, that the prophesy referred to us going out and calling them back.

Brother Morris’s quotes Ezekiel 34:15,16 in association with Jehovah’s lost/scattered sheep, that the prophesy referred to us going out and calling them back. What he fails to point out, is why are these sheep pushed out in the first place? And it’s not the shepherds that gather them back, the scripture points out it’s Jehovah himself that searches for them and it’s David ie “Jesus” who will feed them in the time of deep gloom. In fact he says he removes all responsibility from the shepherds being over his sheep, because they treated these sick sheep harshly, not attending to their needs, leaving them to become prey to the wolves. It’s always important to read the full context of the scripture to get an accurate understanding.
Ezekiel 34:8
“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “because my sheep have become prey, food for every wild beast of the field, for there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my sheep; rather, they kept feeding themselves and did not feed my sheep,”’ 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah. 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘I am against the shepherds, and I will demand an accounting of them for my sheep, and I will dismiss them from feeding my sheep,h and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouth, and they will no longer be food for them.’”
