“Be My Follower”—What Did Jesus Mean? - YOU will be Refreshed! ??????? (Psalms 23:1-6) Jehovah is my Shepherd. I will lack nothing. 2  In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; He leads me to well-watered resting places. 3  He refreshes me. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. 4  Though I walk in the valley of deep shadow, I fear no harm, For you are with me; Your rod and your staff reassure me. 5  You prepare a table for me before my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; My cup is well filled. 6  Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of Jehov…

Have You Been Influenced by Cynics? - Christ Left YOU a Model of Love to Follow! ~ ? (1 Peter 2:21) "In fact, to this course YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model* for YOU to follow his steps closely." Have You Been Influenced by Cynics? “THE cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad one. He is a human owl, vigilant in darkness, and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game.” This statement has been attributed to the 19th-century American clergyman Henry Ward Beecher. Many may think that it accurately portrays the spirit of a modern-day cynic. But the word …

"You must not follow after the crowd for evil ends." (Ex. 23:2) "You must not follow after the crowd to do evil, and you must not pervert justice by giving testimony to go along with the crowd." In taking a long journey, what would you do if you felt unsure about which way to go? You might feel tempted to follow other travelers—especially if you saw a great many making the same choice. Such a course is risky. After all, those travelers may not be heading toward your destination, or they too may be lost. In this connection, consider a principle that underlies one of the laws given to ancient Israel. Those who served as judges or as witnesses in judicial…

Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, old and satisfied.—Gen. 25:8. When we read that Abraham was “old and satisfied,” let us not conclude that he had had his fill of life, so to speak, and had no desire to live in the future. The Bible says of Abraham: “He was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is God.” (Heb. 11:10) Can you imagine how thrilled Abraham will be to live in the earthly Paradise and go on strengthening his friendship with Jehovah? How touched he will be to learn that his example of faith helped JehovahÂ’s servants throughout thousands of years after his death! In Paradise he will even learn that th…

( I like that picture of JESUS... he is smiling by his hard work  looking very healthy and forceful ! ) When Did Joseph Die ?....  We know that Joseph was alive when Jesus was 12 years old,... At that age many Jewish youths began to learn their fatherÂ’s trade and became apprentices at 15,... Joseph evidently lived long enough to teach Jesus to be a carpenter,... Was Joseph still living when Jesus began his ministry at about 30 years of age ?... It seems very doubtful,... JesusÂ’ mother, brothers, and sisters are all mentioned as living at that time but not Joseph,... Jesus was once even called “ the so…

The paradise of God, is under God's New Creation, where all His trees of life are (Isa.51:3; Gen.2:8-10; Eze.47:12; Rev.22:2,14; 2:7). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/… After reading those scriptures, can you see what it was, that Jesus granted the one who died at his side? Each "tree" of life, that feeds from God's "river" of the water of life, and produces fruit for healing, is, at the same time (in a different parable), a living stone of God's Temple... the place to offer prayer for all nations (Isa.56:7). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/… Another parable that describes the trees of life in God's paradise, is at Luke 8:5-15. There it compares the h…

The Truth About Halloween - ??? 1. “Halloween,” explains the Encyclopedia of American Folklore, “is integrally related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten.” (See the box “Halloween Time Line.”) Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have pagan origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship. Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead. 2. Although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people in more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the pagan origins of…

A subtle change of understanding We just received the video about Joel's book on broadcasting. And I have noticed a remarkable, but very little point of understanding. Let's see Joel's book says: (Joel 1:4) what the caterpillar left, the lobster ate it; and what left the lobster, the lobster crawling, without wings, ate it; and what the lobster crawling, without wings, has left , the cockroach ate it. For many years, even since Rutherford, the understanding of the slave has been the following: Watchtower 1998 How vividly describes this prophecy to the current symbolic locust army! Today, the army of locusts of the Lord also march forward. There are no "W…

Forgive One Another Freely! ??? "Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another. Just as Jehovah freely forgave you, you must also do the same."–(Col 3:13) “Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely.”– (Col 3:13) HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND? Why must we be willing to forgive? How did Jesus illustrate the need to      be forgiving? What blessings do we receive because    of freely forgiving one another? JEHOVAHÂ’S written Word enables us to learn how he views sin and how he reacts when we commit sins. His Word also reveals much …

Coming to Know Jehovah’s Ways - Pray for Help and Direction! ??????? “Make me know . . . your ways, that I may know you.”—EXODUS 33:13 What Jehovah Expects of His People What Jehovah expected of his people was disclosed orally at Mount Sinai. Moses later received two tablets containing the Ten Commandments in written form. Upon descending from the mountain, he saw the Israelites worshiping the molten calf and angrily threw down the tablets, shattering them. Jehovah again inscribed the Ten Commandments on stone tablets that Moses had carved out. (Exodus 32:19; 34:1) These commandments had not changed since they were first given. Moses was to act …

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."—Rom. 3:23. ????? Before a person can develop lifesaving faith, he must acknowledge that he is a sinner. The idea of being such would not be strange for those who grow up believing in God and having some familiarity with the Bible. (Eccl. 7:20) ????? In some lands, however, the average person is not raised thinking that he (or she) was born a sinner, that he inherited sin. ????? Granted, he probably realizes that he makes mistakes, has undesirable traits, and may have done some bad things. And he observes that others are in a similar situation. ????? Still, given his backg…

What Does Jehovah’s Forgiveness Mean for You? ????????  "Jehovah, a God merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth, showing loyal love to thousands, pardoning error and transgression and sin." (Exodus 34:6,7) “Jehovah [is] a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger . . . , pardoning error and transgression and sin.”— Ex34:6, 7) People can receive GodÂ’s forgiveness only if they have already forgiven those who have sinned against them. (Mark 11:25) Stressing this point, Jesus added: “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; whereas if you do not forgive men their trespas…

More Durable Than Pure ? Gold - What Could That Be? - It is Forever Durable than Gold or Silver? - You Can Have it Too! GOLD is much sought after for its beauty and durability. Much of its desirability lies in the fact that it remains bright and untarnished seemingly indefinitely. This is because gold is resistant to attacks by water, oxygen, sulfur, and almost everything else. Many gold artifacts discovered in sunken vessels and elsewhere still retain their luster after hundreds of years. Interestingly, however, the Bible states that there is something that is more durable and “of much greater value than gold that perishes despite its being proved by fir…

How will it end the proscription of Jehovah's Witnesses? Â I wish to state that the purpose of this article, like all the ones posted so far, is not to see who is right. Humanly speaking, we are all brothers and neighbors to the Russians when even a single brother suffers, we all should suffer with them - Romans 24:15 There is no controversy desire towards the Governing Body, and even on their current scriptural understanding. However, even the author of this article recognizes the supreme importance of paying attention to scripture and explain how, this, decodes current events. Aware that the current situation …

May you ALWAYS be strong and SPEAK OUT! ??? During a convention in the south of France, a very nice story was shared on stage. Update: "Apparently told at Marignane assembly hall at the regional convention this summer." There was an interview of 2 sisters and 2 brothers. ? The brother doing the talk asked the first sister : "So, what problem do you cope with in your service?" "I... don't like to preach in stores", she answered, then she continued: "One day, I entered a shoe store and simply let the magazines on the counter, saying to the saleswoman 'it's for you', then I quickly left the shop". ? The sister gave the microphone to the sister on her left,…

Wedlock should be filled with joy, not unhappiness and drudgery. Especially should a Christian home be a place of rest and peace. Consider what happened some 3,000 years ago when the aged widow Naomi and her widowed daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, were on the road from Moab to Judah. Naomi urged the younger women to return to their people. The Moabitess Ruth stuck with Naomi, was faithful to the true God, and was assured ‘a perfect wage from Jehovah, under whose wings she sought refuge.Â’ (Ruth 1:9; 2:12) With great appreciation for GodÂ’s gift of marriage, Ruth became the wife of elderly Boaz, a true worshipper of Jehovah. When resurrected on earth in GodÂ’s new wo…

Joshua 1:8 This book of the Law should not depart from your mouth, and you must read it in an undertone day and night, in order to observe carefully all that is written in it; for then your way will be successful and then you will act wisely.” ????? MEDITATION The kind of deep, concentrated thinking in which a person seriously reflects on past experiences, ponders and muses over current matters, or thoughtfully contemplates possible future events. In order to meditate properly, a person needs to be free from distractions, alone with his thoughts, so to speak. Isaac, for example, went out walking alone in the early evening to meditate, possibly about h…
