"And if I stopped talking about Jehovah, I too would die." "On Sunday he is baptized.

JEHOVAH GOD, and his Son, Christ Jesus, sees everything....they miss nothing! They know all about us! Our actions declare to them, LOUD AND CLEAR, where our loyalty.... our exclusive devotion lies. Sadly, the vast, vast majority of mankind on the earth today places their exclusive devotion to their man made governments.... not to Jehovah's Government..... God's Kingdom Government. My Bible trained advice to all those ones..... Try to explain yourself to Christ Jesus when he separates the sheep from the goats! Also... READ Jeremiah 25:31-33..... over and over again until you understand it! 31 ‘A noise will resound to the ends of the earth, For …

MASS PERSECUTION BEGINS IN RUSSIA TO WITNESSES They hit the doors, threw them to the ground, threatened with weapons: massive arrests of Jehovah's Witnesses continue in Russia Since the beginning of April in Russia, Jehovah's Witnesses continue to detain on extremism charges detained more than 20 people from ten cities across the country - almost all of them charged to different parts of article 282.2 of the Penal Code (organization of an extremist organization). After the official ban on the work of the religious center in Russia, several criminal cases have already been instituted, but in the last two months the repression of the members of the organization has acqu…

My son Solomon is young and inexperienced . . . Therefore, I will make preparation for him.—1 Chron. 22:5. David might have concluded that Solomon was not qualified to oversee such an important project as building a house for God. After all, the temple was to be “exceedingly magnificent,” and Solomon was at the time “young and inexperienced.” Yet, David knew that Jehovah would equip Solomon to handle the work given to him. So David focused on what he could do to assist, preparing materials in great quantity. Likewise, older brothers today should not be disheartened when it becomes necessary to hand their assignments over to younger men. Rather, it is in the best …

An 'anti-cult expert' I keep my eye on invites his followers to watch him on a TV iterview, where he makes the point that Trump was elected due to cult influences. If you think half the country fell victim to cult influence, does it not mean that you have drunk too much of the Kool-Aid yourself? Time was when the word meant something. If you fell under the spell of a charismatic leader and withdrew from normal life, you just might be part of a cult. These days simply thinking outside of the box suffices, and the definition expands to include ‘people we don’t like.’ Can Witnesses be a cult (the latest slam)? How can it be? You cannot…

Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve.—Josh. 24:15. When faced with making a personal choice, one woman told a friend: “Do not make me think; just tell me what to do. That is easier.” The woman preferred being told what to do instead of using a precious gift from her Creator, the gift of free will. What about you? Do you like making your own decisions, or do you prefer that others decide for you? How do you view the matter of free will? People have debated this subject for centuries. Some claim that there is no such thing as free will—that all our actions are predetermined by God. Others argue that true free will is only possible if we have absolute free…

37 Million Bees Found Dead After Planting Large GMO Corn Field Millions of bees dropped dead after GMO corn was planted few weeks ago in Ontario, Canada. The local bee keeper, Dave Schuit who produces honey in Elmwood lost about 37 million bees which are about 600 hives. “Once the corn started to get planted our bees died by the millions,” Schuit said. While many bee keepers blame neonicotinoids, or “neonics.” for colony collapse of bees and many countries in EU have banned neonicotinoid class of pesticides, the US Department of Agriculture fails to ban insecticides known as neonicotinoids, manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc.

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!” Mark 13:1 I never realized just how massive and magnificent these stones were, until doing a bit of research. From their quarrying to their installation, the construction feat of Herod the Great’s temple in Jerusalem still marvels the world. Cut from a limestone quarry above the ancient Temple Mount, some stones of the temple wall and retaining wall weighed up to 160,000 pounds while many a mere, but still impressive, two tons. Each of these stones is the reversed image of a typical framed piece of art, with a raised flat center and…

BETHESDA — The village voted Thursday to end its K-9 program and donate its police dog to the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office on the same night that the board accepted the resignations of two more police officers. Meanwhile, the police department’s interim chief and its only remaining full-time officer — who was just hired in April — said they are trying to put the department back together with the hope of rebuilding the public’s trust. Interim Police Chief Fred Thompson made the request to transfer the police dog, Frankie, to the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office. He said he believes the dog was an unnecessary expense that had never been used. “I think this …

Officers launched 28 raids on Jehovah's Witness homes in May, often forcing entry, threatening occupants with weapons and seizing literature and other items.

The devil and the duck.... A little boy visited his grandparents who lived on a farm. They gave him a slingshot so he could play nicely in the woods. There he tirelessly aimed at tree trunks, but never met. Finally, he made himself a bit depressed on the way home for dinner. Ornis's favorite duck crossed his path. Just for fun, he aimed at her and - he did not know how it happened - met with the little stone exactly her head! The duck was dead immediately. Could not believe what had happened in a few seconds. In desperation, he hid the duck under a pile of firewood. Now he also noticed that Susi, his sister, had seen everything. After lunch, the gran…

Sochi: Meeting between Putin and Merkel: How a bouquet of flowers becomes a bone of contention... In fact, this is not the first time that Putin has given flowers to Merkel. In 2008, the Russian President presented to the Chancellor on World Women's Day on 8 March a bouquet of red flowers. At that time nobody had offended. The current excitement of the "image" is just another example of the hysterical mood against Russia, according to Russian state media. A souvenir for Vladimir Putin Other politicians Putin has already presented flowers, last year was the Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi?, 2012, it was the then President of Finland Tarja Halonen.…

While the machine gurgled to life, he glanced at his phone. A new voice message was waiting. He filled up a mug and hit play, and heard the voice of a cop from the York Area Regional Police Department deliver some long-awaited news: The man who allegedly sexually molested HaughÂ’s then-4-year-old daughter in 2005 at the JehovahÂ’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall that his family belonged to in Red Lion, York County, had finally been arrested. “I ha…

A CAMPAIGNER who wants to overturn a two-witness rule over child abuse within a major religious organisation has enlisted the support of his MP. Steve Rose, from Hartlepool, a former Jehovah’s Witness, has been protesting against the rule, which stops senior figures in the church from acting against wrongdoing unless there are two witnesses. Now he has contacted Hartlepool MP Mike Hill, who is raising the issue with Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk, who in turn is bringing the debate to Parliament, saying it was an ongoing child safety concern. Mr Rose, who was once a member of HartlepoolÂ’s Kingdom Hall, said the two-witness rule makes it nearly impossible for act…

To the extent that each one has received a gift, use it in ministering to one another.—1 Pet. 4:10. In his undeserved kindness, Jehovah has given each of us certain gifts, assets, abilities, or talents. We can use them to glorify him and to benefit others. (Rom. 12:4-8) Jehovah has entrusted us with a stewardship that comes with honor, trust, and responsibility. Our place in GodÂ’s arrangement is not fixed, however. It can change over time. Consider JesusÂ’ example. Initially, he was alone with Jehovah. (Prov. 8:22) Then he helped make other spirit creatures, the material universe, and finally, humans. (Col. 1:16) Still later, Jesus took on a new role on earth, first…

The Revealing of scripture, is that most can’t handle ‘the truth’. “For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) Notice the scripture doesn’t state ‘the child’ or ‘the son’ but a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us. At the time this scripture was penned it was a prophecy that hid the identity of the one to be born. Since all angels are referred to as ‘sons’ or ‘gods’, Satan had no clue who this person would be, until he tempted him in the desert by evil questions. In …

'Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God' (Luke 12:6) William Cowper, poet and hymn writer, who lived from 1731-1800 in England, apparently suffered from fits of melancholy and frequent attacks of spiritual despair which led to two suicide attempts. On one of these occasions, during a time of deep despair and a dark night of the soul on a foggy night he set out from his home in London with the intention of jumping into the River Thames to end his life. He got hopelessly lost in the fog and wandered blind for some time. Eventually, lost and confused, he walked into a home to get out of the fog. And th…

Exodus 17:5,6,7. "Then Jehovah said to Moses: "Go ahead of the people , and take with you some of the elders of Israel and your rod with which you struck the Nile River. Take it in your hand and walk on. Â Look! I will be standing before you there on the rock in Horeb. Â You must strike the rock, and water will come out of it, and the people will drink it." Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel. Â So he named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrelling of the Israelites and because they put Jehovah to the test by saying: Â Is Jehovah in our midst or not." This area is fenced off by the Arabian Government as a historical site. (See foo…
