But reading now from verses 17-19 of 1 Corinthians chapter 11, Paul says: "But while giving you these instructions, I do not commend you because it is, not for the better, but for the worse that you meet together." The scripture goes on to describe their disunity even on the day of the symbolic meal. But what is important to consider is the root cause of their disunity. For Jesus said, "you have the poor always with you". (John 12:8). They were not listening to members of the "new creation", and so became sectarian in their teachings. Instead of obeying and assisting the "least ones" of Jesus' brothers that have the wisdom to overcome earthly imperfections, and who with Christ will administer righteousness for mankind's salvation from God's heavenly realm by His Kingdom government of 144,000 "new creations" (Rom 8:19), they caused divisions to scatter God's people.

These divisions certainly exist among the sect calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, who have knowingly "trampled" on anointed sons of God, even after being in possession of the knowledge of having done so. "To the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me". (Matt 25:45). Before my Heavenly Father and Michael the Son of God I accuse this sect and all their congregations of the foregoing sins. Therefore, when they come together to one place, it is not possible for them to eat the Lord's evening meal. For when they come together, they come together only to observe a tradition of their divisions, and not unity with Christ or with his brothers whom they as people of the nations mistreat, even up until right now. "If anyone has no affection for the Lord, let him be accursed. O our Lord come!"

"Do not rejoice over me, O you woman enemy of mine. Although I have fallen, I shall certainly rise up; although I dwell in the darkness, Jehovah will be a light to me. The raging of Jehovah I shall bear    for I have sinned against Him    until He conducts my legal case and actually executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall look upon His righteousness. And my enemy will see, and shame will cover her, who was saying to me: "Where is He, Jehovah your God?" My own eyes will look upon her. Now she will become a place of trampling, like the mire of streets." (Micah 7:8-10).

From 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-22 NWT:

"...Every man that prays or prophesies having something on his head shames his head; but every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head.

For if a woman does not cover herself, let her also be shorn; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For a man ought not to have his head covered, as he is God's image and glory; but the woman is man's glory. For man is not out of woman, but woman out of man; and, what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man. That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority upon her head because of the angels… Judge for your own selves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray uncovered to God?

Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him; but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because her hair is given her instead of a headdress....


But, while giving these instructions, I do not commend you… when you come together in a congregation, I hear divisions exist among you; and in some measure I believe it. For there must also be sects among you, that the persons approved may also become manifest among you".

 

Å UNCOVERED, A WOMAN SHAMES HER FATHER, HUSBAND, AND BROTHERS. FOR SHOWING THIS OUTWARD SIGN OF A MAN, CONVEYS HER MAN-LIKE SPIRIT ASPECT BEFORE GOD.



Å HER INITIAL DISOBEDIENCE MERITS SHORNING. IF CONTINUED, SHE IS SHAVED. BOTH VISUALLY CONVEY HER NON-RECOGNITION OF MAN'S AUTHORITY.
 

Å AS IT WOULD MAKE THE REASON FOR WOMEN'S HEADCOVERINGS REDUNDANT (& CONTRADICTORY).

Å GOD CREATED THE FIRST WOMAN FROM A MAN. WOMAN CREATED AS A COMPLEMENT OF MAN .


Å SIGN IN RECOGNITION THAT ONLY MEN HAVE GOD'S AUTHORITY TO TEACH. OBEDIENT WOMEN RECEIVE ANGELIC HELP.


Å MINISTERING ANGELS DO NOT MINISTER TO DISGRACEFUL WOMEN SHORN, SHAVED OR UNCOVERED. CONGREGATIONALLY, AN OBEDIENT WOMAN IS ALLOWED HER LONG HAIR AS A SIGN OF HER ACCEPTANCE OF MAN'S AUTHORITY, PROVING HER OBEDIENCE BEFORE GOD AS MAN'S GLORY.

Å BECAUSE THE FOREGOING INSTRUCTIONS WERE IGNORED, THEY COULD NOT GATHER FOR A "MEAL" SYMBOLIZING UNITY. THEIR NON-RECOGNITION OF THE HEADSHIP ARRANGEMENT WAS EVIDENCE OF THEIR DIVISIONS. SECTARIAN TEACHINGS DIVIDE OFF OBEDIENT ONES.
