The Bible says about Jesus Christ: "Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his path, the earliest of his long-ago accomplishments ... when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be by his side as a master worker, and I came to to be the one with whom he was especially fond day by day, and I was happy in front of him all the time "PROVERBS 8. As far as scientists have studied, the planet is about 4,500 million years old, so Jesus, or Miguel, was already alive 4.5 billion years ago as little.... ? ? ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ? ? ?

"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake." ??? According to Germanic folklore, St. Nick has a demonic sidekick (half-goat, half-demon, horrific beast) named Krampus whose job is to punish all the children who were naughty this year. Santa's partner comes with a chain and bells that he lashes about, along with a bundle of birch sticks meant to swat naughty children. He then hauls the bad kids down to the underworld. Krampus, whose name is derived from the German word krampen, meaning claw, is said to be the son of Hel in Norse mythology. The legendary beast also shares characteristics with other scary, demonic creatures in Greek mythol…

Born to a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Baek Jong-keon realized the price of his faith in South Korea at an early age. His father had gone to jail for refusing to take up arms, and his three older brothers chose the same path when the time came for them to serve their mandatory military service.  Baek Jong-keon works as an assistant at a law firm in Seocho-dong, southern Seoul.

I don't do the following often, for it is a little mean. I wouldn't do it just on account of a differing point of view. I reserve it for someone obnoxious and condescending from the fundamentalist religious world, someone trying to denigrate the work Witnesses do, someone saying dismissively: "No thanks. I'm Christian." As though they own the word. I reply that only a Christian would do the work I am doing, adding "frankly, I'm a little surprised you're not doing it yourself." Always it vanquishes the smug smile. Â However, one does not stop there, upon seeing that the blow has landed. Immediately you move on to soften it somehow, pe…

Gaining True Understanding. ????? (Proverbs 1:1-6) –  shows that the “man of understanding is the one who acquires skillful direction, to understand a proverb and a puzzling saying, the words of wise persons and their riddles.” These must not be things said merely to pass the time away in idle conversation, for wise persons would not customarily waste time in such manner, but must refer to instruction, questions, and problems that discipline and train the mindand heart in right principles, thereby equipping the learner for wise action in the future. Knowledge and understanding together bring wisdom, which is “the prime thing,” the ability to bring…

You'd be surprised -- maybe not. New and old religious books and booklets and calendars from Christendom especially were common sources from which to "draw" inspiration. But for typography and graphical layout ideas, current magazine advertising was a common source. I know of a couple of blatant plagiarisms that the Watchtower never got in trouble for. Armageddon was going to wipe out a multitude of such sins before anyone could catch on. There is a good chance they will show up over time, however, as more printed material makes it to the Internet for comparison. There was nothing wrong, however, with the 1968 Awake! cover.

The "Tree of Life" can YOU Find it Today? Was it a Real Tree? ??? Lessons From Creation (Revelation 2:7) — “Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations: To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’” What is “the paradise of God”? Since these words are addressed to anointed Christians, the paradise here must refer to the paradisaic heavenly realm—the very presence of God himself. The faithful anointed will be rewarded with eating “of the tree of life.” They will receive immortality.— (1 Cor. 15:53) - Bible Speaks ???? https://wol.jw.org/en…

"It is the foolishness of an earthling man that distorts his way, and so his heart becomes enraged against Jehovah himself."—Prov. 19:3. Never Become “Enraged Against Jehovah” ??? Even though we might admit that fact, our imperfect nature can distort our thinking and cause us to go down a path that eventually leads to disaster. (Prov. 14:12) In what way? Instead of blaming ourselves or Satan for a problem, we could start to blame Jehovah. We might even become “enraged against Jehovah himself.”—Prov. 19:3.  ??? Is it really possible that we could become “enraged against Jehovah”? Surely to do so would be futile. (Isa. 41:11) What would we ho…

The Star ? of Bethelhem Was it From God? According to the Nativity story commonly told, God used a star to lead three wise The star of Bethlehem was it from God?,men, or kings, to the stable in Bethlehem and found Jesus, a newly born baby, in a manger. Countless children have even memorized the names of those three kings: Melchior, Caspar, and Baltazar. But, who were those men? In the original Greek, the Bible calls them neither kings nor wise men.

I have posted this issue before, but it was during the time of the hot topic of the persecution in Russia and maybe got overshadowed by it. A poster brought it up again in one of the threads so I thought I will try again to post it as a topic. My goal is not to sow doubts, nor to promote some false ideas, but rather to get to the bottom of this as I feel it is a valid question. The summary of the problem can be seen in the quotes below: Referring to people leaving their religion to join Jehovah's Witnesses: "No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family". Awake 7/09 page 29 AN…
