The Kingdom Ministry School 2018 is a training school for circuit overseers, elders and ministerial servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses. According to Jehovah’s Witnesses’ doctrine, “an overseer in the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses must be a man who can organize his life so as to give the proper attention to all in the congregation and be a blessing to them. At the same time he cannot be a man who ignores his family in favor of the congregation, but he must use the spirit of a sound mind.” To that end, this is an “opportunity … afforded … congregation servants throughout the world of coming together at the Kingdom Ministry School to get a training that will hel…

Russell's secretary, Menta Sturgeon, was with him when he died and related the events surrounding Russell's death in a talk given at the funeral, found in the December 1916 issue of the Watchtower. See Harvest Truth DataBase V5.0. Â It was Sturgeon who wrapped him in the bed sheet, and Russell showed him how to make it look like a Roman toga. Russell did not simply drop suddenly, but his death was a lingering one in which he became progressively ill on his last preaching tour, traveling on the train. He never explained what the Roman toga meant, and both Sturgeon and Rutherford attempted to give explanations. Both agreed that Russell had finished his course victoriously. …

Two elders have been deleted by Watchtower for reporting an allegation of child sexual abuse to the police, contrary to Watchtower orders (a jw paedophile with a history, apparently). When the British branch discovered what the elders had done they arranged for 3 elders to fly over to Ireland, at the congregations expense no less, to hold a special JC for the ' rogue' congregation elders. One elder and the COBE were deleted, two were allowed to continue. All four had made statements to police. Their crime was, breathtakingly, not exhibiting "soundness of mind" by not following company directives and using their own conscience!!! The following 'Watchtower in Focu…

At home in Minnesota To refugee Sivasundaram, his home in Burnsville feels like paradise. "I am so happy here," said Sivasundaram, wearing the reflective vest from his job as a forklift operator. On a recent evening, he rested for a few minutes before going to his night job stocking shelves at a Target store. His wife, Manchuladevy Ravindran, soon walked in, home from her job as a housekeeper in a nearby motel, and started cooking dinner for her three boys. Some people would call it a stressful life — but not this family. They compare it with the life they had before. Until 2006, they lived in Sri Lanka, an island south of India. They were part of…

None of them knew how to speak the language of the Jews.—Neh. 13:24. The inability to grasp GodÂ’s Word in a foreign language can pose a real threat to our spiritual health. In the fifth century B.C.E., Nehemiah showed concern when he learned that some children among the Jews who had returned from Babylon could not speak the Hebrew language. These children were actually losing their identity as GodÂ’s servants because they could not fully understand the meaning of GodÂ’s Word. (Neh. 8:2, 8) Some Christian parents serving in a foreign-language field have come to realize that their childrenÂ’s interest in the truth has waned. Why? When we read in a foreign tongue, our…

A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly instructed will be like his teacher.—Luke 6:40. As a teacher, Jesus reached hearts because he loved Jehovah, GodÂ’s Word, and people. (Luke 24:32; John 7:46) Similar love will help parents reach the hearts of their children. (Deut. 6:5-8; Luke 6:45) So parents, be good students of the Bible and of our study aids. Take an interest in creation and in articles in our publications that discuss this topic. (Matt. 6:26, 28) Your doing so will broaden your knowledge, deepen your appreciation for Jehovah, and better equip you to teach your young ones. When your heart is filled with Bible truth, you will want t…

Even the Christ did not please himself.—Rom. 15:3. Yes, Jesus put helping others ahead of personal convenience—helping them was key to his doing GodÂ’s will. Hence, we will forgo items or styles of clothing that we like but that could close the minds of people to whom we want to witness. (Rom. 15:2) Christian parents have a responsibility to teach their families to apply Bible principles. This includes making sure that they and their children strive to make GodÂ’s heart rejoice by their modest style of dress and grooming. (Prov. 22:6; 27:11) Parents can instill in their children a healthy respect for the holy God whom they worship by setting the right example for th…
