SAYING GOOD-BYE TO RADIO LEGEND ALVIN JOHN WAPLES
by Guest Kurt- 0 replies

*On Saturday, October 21, at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Woodland Hills, CA, family and close friends said good-bye to Los Angeles (KGFJ, KJLH, KACE), Washington, DC (WMMJ) and Raleigh, NC (Foxy 107-104) radio legend Alvin John Waples who passed away on October 10. IÂ’m sure we have all attended memorial or funeral services where it was obvious the person presiding over the service didnÂ’t actually know the person they were tasked with memorializing. That was not the case with AlvinÂ’s service. The person memorializing Alvin, jazz great Ronnie LawsÂ’ son, grew up hanging around Alvin and his family, since his dad and Alvin were friends. …

Bro. Prudencio is another proof that the Bible changes lives. ???????? He was in the Mexican military as a young man and loved to fight. He was so good at it that his commanding officers would bet on him to win. ??????? Upon learning the truth, Bro. Prudencio gave up fighting men and began to “fight the fine fight of the faith” (1Tim 6:12). Today, he and his two sons serve as elders. El Hno. Thank you ??Â

Though the educational opportunities at the London Museum are immense, I am fearful that @JW Insider squandered them all to hang out at the vending machines where they stock Milk Duds. Approvingly he commented that "the vast majority of staff are there to help manage the huge gift shop (and restock things like Milk Duds in the vending machines)" Still, he was there to learn more about God - and Milk Duds are truly the food of the gods, so perhaps the time was well-spent after all. 'Do they stock Milk Duds in the vending machines?' was my first question that came to mind when he invited some. Actually, I'm not sure I have ever eaten any. If so, it was not often, and l…

A United Nations committee is calling for the immediate release of an 18-year-old Jehovah’s Witness the panel says is being unlawfully detained in Tajikistan because of his faith. The U.N.Â’s Working Group on Arbitrary Detention says Daniil Islamov is imprisoned in Tajikistan for conscientiously objecting to the countryÂ’s mandatory military service. Though JehovahÂ’s Witnesses pay taxes, IslamovÂ’s faith precludes him from reciting patriotic pledges, singing nationalistic songs, or joining the military. The right of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses to adhere to their faithÂ’s rejection of military service — they believe their allegiance is to God alone — is recognized …

GHOST OF THE INNOCENT MAN A True Story of Trial and Redemption By Benjamin Rachlin Illustrated. 387 pp. Little, Brown & Company. $27. On a fall evening in 1987, in the town of Hickory, N.C., 69-year-old Carrie Elliott, a recent widow, answered a knock at the door. It was a stranger who forced his way in and then raped her, twice. Elliott, who was all of five feet tall and 90 pounds, paid attention to the features of her assailant, and later picked a man named Willie Grimes out of a lineup, telling a police sergeant, “I will never forget his face.” Moreover, her neighbor told the police she knew who did it, someone who matched the victimÂ’s descriptio…

“For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield; He gives favor and glory. Jehovah will not hold back anything good from those walking in integrity.”–Ps. 84:11. ??????? JEHOVAHÂ’S RULERSHIP IS BEST How do you feel about JehovahÂ’s way of ruling? ??????? As we have seen, the Bible clearly shows that Jehovah has the right to rule. It also shows why he is the best Ruler. One reason is that he rules with love. We feel close to him when we think of how he is “merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth.” (Exodus 34:6) God treats us with dignity and respect. He cares for us better than we can care for ourselves. The De…

Pray Incessantly! – They are "sweet" to Jehovah! – ???????? “The prayers of the holy ones” to incense in that acceptable prayers rise to Jehovah like a sweet-smelling and pleasant odor. (Rev. 5:8) ???????? Significance. The Law covenant had a shadow of better things to come (Heb 10:1), and it seems that the burning of incense under that arrangement represented the acceptable prayers of GodÂ’s faithful servants. The psalmist declared, “May my prayer be prepared as incense before you [Jehovah].” (Ps 141:2) Likewise, the highly symbolic book of Revelation describes those around GodÂ’s heavenly throne as having “golden bowls that were full of inc…

The RICH MAN and LAZARUS, the beggar (Jesus' parable in Luke's Gospel 16 :19-31) - Explanation: part 1/3 - JWWHAT CAUSED JESUS TO RELATE THE PARABLE OF THE RICH MAN AND THE BEGGAR LAZARUS? The account of the rich man and Lazarus is the only Bible passage associating the word 'HELL' (=HADES =SHEOL) with a place of fiery torment after death.The rest of the Holy Scriptures describe HELL as the common grave of mankind, in which the dead are unconscious, as if asleep, but from which they will be resurrected to the 'real life' at a time yet to come.Does the Bible contradict itself? What do the Scriptures really say?Does this parable actually support unscriptural teachings such …

Christ died once for all time for sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones.—1 Pet. 3:18. Because of inherited sin, we are all facing the death penalty. (Rom. 5:12) Lovingly, Jehovah arranged for Jesus to come to the earth and “taste death for everyone.” (Heb. 2:9) Not only did Jehovah save our present life but he laid the basis for wiping out the cause of death forever. (Isa. 25:7, 8; 1 Cor. 15:22, 26) All who exercise faith in Jesus will receive everlasting life in peace and happiness as earthly subjects of GodÂ’s Kingdom by Christ or, for the anointed, as corulers in that Kingdom. (Rom. 6:23; Rev. 5:9, 10) What other blessings are included in this gift from …

Do not drink water any longer, but take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent cases of sickness.—1 Tim. 5:23. We do not live at a time when a fellow Christian can use “gifts of healing” to cure us. (1 Cor. 12:9) But some well-intentioned brothers give unsolicited health recommendations. Granted, someone might simply offer general, practical suggestions. Paul did so when Timothy was experiencing stomach problems, perhaps because the local water was polluted. That, however, is quite different from trying to persuade a fellow Witness to use some herb, remedy, or diet that may not be effective or in some cases may even be harmful. At times, some …

O Jehovah, open my lips, so that my mouth may declare your praise.—Ps. 51:15. Speech is part of our daily life, but we do not need to talk all the time. In fact, the Bible says that there is “a time to be silent.” (Eccl. 3:7) Maintaining silence when others are speaking can be a mark of respect. (Job 6:24) Controlling our tongue to keep quiet about a confidential matter gives evidence of discretion and discernment. (Prov. 20:19) Restraining our tongue when we are provoked is the course of wisdom. (Ps. 4:4) On the other hand, the Bible also says that there is “a time to speak.” (Eccl. 3:7) If a friend gave you a beautiful present, you would probably not store it o…

Good News for People of All Nations ??????? “You will be witnesses of me . . . to the most distant part of the earth.”—ACTS 1:8. To “the Ends of the Earth”  major challenge faced by those preaching the good news is the extent of the territory—“all the inhabited earth.” (Matthew 24:14) During the last century, many servants of Jehovah worked hard to reach new lands in order to spread the good news. What was the result? Breathtaking worldwide expansion. At the dawn of the 20th century, preaching was reported in only a few lands, but at present, JehovahÂ’s Witnesses are active in 235 lands! Truly, the Kingdom good news is being proclaimed even to “t…
