Reclaimed Voices, a foundation set up in the Netherlands to denounce sexual abuse by Jehovah's Witnesses, received 46 reports of abuse in just a week's time. The number of reports is shocking, Frank Huiting, one of the founders and himself a victim of sexual abuse in a closed Jehovah's Witnesses community as a child, said to broadcaster NOS. The foundation was launched just over a week ago, based on Huiting's own experiences. He was abused from the time he was seven year's old. When Huiting told his parents, they decided not to report it to the police. An elder in the community advised against it. "Then there will be headlines in the newspaper and we don't want that…

1. John 4:16-19 NWT 16 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love and the one who remains in love remains in union with God and God remains in union with him. 17 In this way love has been made perfect in us, so that we may have freeness of speech in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so are we ourselves in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts fear out, because fear restrains us. Indeed, the one who is fearful has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love, because he first loved us. ? ? ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ? ? ?

The Painted Lady....  A Mystery Revealed -- EUROPEAN observers have long admired colorful painted lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui) and have wondered what happened to them at the end of each summer. Do they simply perish with the onset of cold weather? Fresh research reveals an extraordinary story. The butterflies make an annual journey between northern Europe and Africa. Researchers combined results from sophisticated radar with thousands of sightings reported by volunteers across Europe. The results revealed that as the summer ends, millions of painted lady butterflies migrate south, mostly flying at an altitude of more than 1,600 feet (500 m)—therefo…

The increase in big earthquakes predicted for 2018 as the rotation of the earth slows down Scientists say that the amount of severe earthquakes will likely increase sharply next year due to a regular decrease in earth rotation Scientists have warned that there could be a huge increase in the number of devastating earthquakes around the world next year. They believe that changes in the speed of rotation of the earth could trigger intense seismic activity, particularly in densely populated tropical regions. Although such fluctuations in rotation are small, changing the duration of the day in a millisecond, they may be involved in the release of large amounts …

What follows is my partial response to a letter, which accurately expressed and represented the tribulation now being experienced, by many. - - - - - - - My response: I am so very glad that you contacted me. Please read the scriptures as you come to them. The central body of learning which I offer you, is found within them. Regarding the links, I hope you will return to them in a second reading, to go into more depth about my statements and cited scriptures.

FEMALE Nose rings - Would You Wear One? ?????????????? Rebecca, who married Isaac,           wore a nose ring. What you think? NOSE RING An ornamental ring worn on the nose. It was inserted either through the left or the right side of the nose or through the partition separating the nostrils and was especially worn by women. (Ge 24:22, 30, 47; Isa 3:21) Ishmaelite men, however, according to some translations, also wore nose rings.—Jg 8:24-26. ?????????????? The Hebrew word for “nose ring” (ne?zem) can also be applied to an earring, and in some cases, there may have been little difference in the forms of these ornaments. S…

NEWS Regional Assembly 2018 Below is the invitation to convention 2018. As you can see on the cover, the official theme of the 2018 convention is " be brave!" You can see from the cover of the invitation to a ship in a storm. I have heard from different sources that the drama video for next year will be about Jonah This is consistent with the art work of the invitation, and also with the fact that a circuit superintendent and his wife, who recently visited the branches of the United States. They said they saw the construction of boats in the audio visual production department. Maybe the scenes of Jonah were taken from the movie? Because they look very si…

How Can You Keep a Balanced View of Money? ????? Love of money and a desire for possessions are not new; nor is the Bible silent about them, as if they were some recent phenomena. They are very old. In the Law, God instructed the Israelites: “You must not desire your fellowmanÂ’s house . . . nor anything that belongs to your fellowman.”—Exodus 20:17. The proper use of money is approved by God. For example, Jesus said: “Make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous riches.” (Luke 16:9) This includes contributing toward the advancement of the true worship of God, for we definitely should want God as our Friend. Solomon himself, following the example …

“Make Sure of the More Important Things” There are many things that Jehovah chose not to include in the Bible. For example, he did not give us details about the human brain or the universe. Instead, Jehovah gave us information that we need so that we can understand his will and obey him. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) It is interesting that Jehovah chose to tell us about the invisible part of his organization. It is exciting for us to read this information in the Bible books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation! (Isaiah 6:1-4; Ezekiel 1:4-14, 22-24; Daniel 7:9-14; Revelation 4:1-11) Why has Jehovah allowed us to know about some of the things that are happeni…

"All your works will glorify you, O Jehovah, And your loyal ones will praise you. They All your works with glorify you oh Jehovah, will proclaim the glory of your kingship. And speak about your mightiness," (Ps 145:10,11) May Jehovah Bless You as You Praise Him. Good Night! ? Good Morning! ?? Good Afternoon! ? Identifying GodÂ’s Loyal Ones - King David supplies the answer. After extolling JehovahÂ’s marvelous qualities, he states: “Your loyal ones will bless you.” (Psalm 145:10) You may wonder how humans can bless God. They do so primarily by praising him or by speaking well of him. JehovahÂ’s loyal ones can be identified as th…

Parts of original text is in black (copy/paste method). After initial problems, Bulgaria and JW made "friendly agreement" in 1997. But JW members worldwide don't know about double talk that WT Legal Departments lawyers or lawyers from aside (pro hac vice) gave as promises. Promises was part of "theocratic warfare" (in translation = you can say one thing to "worldly people", but after that you can do as you planing in first place). Perhaps GB thinks how they covered this "loophole" in on eyes with such two sentence  in a Letter; "The agreements also include an acknowledgment that each individual has a freedom to choose the type of medical treatment he receive…

Shunned and disgracefully mentally abused emotionally took it's toll on her and she committed suicide this week. A major "WITCH HUNT" is now underway inside Bethel for this elusive, r…

@koralblu shares: “For the past six weeks I have had the pleasure of serving where the need is great in Ecuador. I had the opportunity to preach in the Andes in the Quichua territory. This little lamb reminded me of Isaiah 40:11. I was able to see first hand what that scripture really mean to tenderly care for JehovahÂ’s sheep. Truly serving Jehovah and seeing the wonders of his creation is spectacular.”  Thank you ??Â

“Let a rotten saying not proceed out of your mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up.” (EPHESIANS 4:29) ??? WHY WE NEED TO GUARD OUR SPEECH One important reason to guard our speech is that words have power. Proverbs 15:4 says: “The calmness of the tongue is a tree of life, but distortion in it means a breaking down in the spirit.” Even as water revives a thirsty tree, so the calm speech of a soothing tongue can refresh the spirit of those hearing it. In contrast, the twisted words of a perverse tongue can crush the spirit of others. Indeed, the words we speak have the power to injure or to heal. (Proverbs 18:21) Vividly describing …

A prayer of the oppressed one when he is in despair and pours out his concern before Jehovah. – Psalms 102:16-22. 16 For Jehovah will rebuild Zion; He will appear in his glory. 17 He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer. 18 This is written for the future generation, So that a people yet to be brought forth will praise Jah. 19 For he looks down from his holy height, From the heavens Jehovah views the earth, 20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner, To release those sentenced to death, 21 So that the name of Jehovah will be declared in Zion And his praise in Jerusalem, 22 When the people…

True, indeed, is the Bible proverb: “As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time for it.”—Proverbs 25:11. - ??????? A Letter That Touched Her Heart ??????? One traveling overseer remembers well one occasion when he and his wife returned to their accommodations after a very chilly winter day in the ministry. He says: “My wife was cold and discouraged, and she told me that she felt she couldnÂ’t continue. ‘How much better,Â’ she said, ‘it would be to serve in the full-time ministry with a congregation, stay in one place, and conduct our own Bible studies.Â’ I deferred any decision, saying that we would continue for…

The naive person believes every word, but the shrewd one ponders each step.—Prov. 14:15. Sadly, in this greedy world, there are those who seize on peopleÂ’s illness as an opportunity to make money. Other individuals or companies stress the use of products that are high-priced in order to make large profits. To a sick person who desperately seeks relief or a way to stay alive longer, these “cures” may seem appealing. “The shrewd one” will be particularly cautious if the “word,” or recommendation, comes from someone whose qualifications are questionable. “The shrewd one” might reason: ‘He says that this vitamin, herb, or diet supposedly helped someone, but are…
