De.19:15 is pretty explicit: “No single witness may convict another for any error or any sin that he may commit. On the testimony of two witnesses or on the testimony of three witnesses the matter should be established." However, increasingly, De.22:25-27 is set against this requirement as a justification for relaxing the 2 witness requirement in modern cases of abuse. "“If, however, the man happened to meet the engaged girl in the field and the man overpowered her and lay down with her, the man who lay down with her is to die by himself, and you must do nothing to the girl. The girl has not committed a sin deserving of death. This case is the same as when …

A Woodcutter and his "axe" - A Story with a Lesson for All! ? Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees. “Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!” Very motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he wa…

FBI report for 2016 sees hate crimes on the rise
by Guest Kurt- 0 replies
- 301 views
NOVEMBER 15, 2017, National hate crime statistics are flawed and incomplete. ThatÂ’s because bias and motivations for crimes arenÂ’t always clear, such crimes can be underreported by both victims and police, and even when the available data are compiled by the FBI, they still donÂ’t give a fully realized picture of where and how criminal hate is expressed in America. That being said, the data can still give us a general idea of sea changes and shifts in our social animus. For instance, newly released FBI hate crime statistics for 2016 reveal some interesting trends: Reports of hate crimes against Muslims are up, as are hate crimes targeting white people. In fa…

[It is] better to be patient.—Eccl. 7:8. In the new world, there may be times when we will need to exercise patience. For example, we may hear of individuals who, to the delight of their relatives and friends, have been raised from the dead. However, we ourselves may have to wait for the resurrection of our loved ones. If that is the case, will we rejoice with others and be patient? (Rom. 12:15) Learning to wait patiently for the fulfillment of JehovahÂ’s promises now will help us to exercise patience then. We can also prepare for life in the new world by exercising patience regarding revealed truth. Are we studious and patient as our understanding of Bible truth is …

In the northern hemisphere, we are an the end of the harvest season, before the winter cold sets in. The markets have moved from emphasis on greens, to the bright colors of local pumpkins, winter squash and the multiple varieties of apples. In our own little garden, two small boys planted two small hills of pumpkins in the late spring. Each boy was given three pumpkin seeds that they carefully planted in their designated hill, patting the soil with care and hope, for a productive harvest. Once sprouted, only two vines were allowed to grow on each hill. As summer went by, the vines from both hills entangled together, and glossy large leaves hid any possibility o…
