Comment from  the Nigerian press, “JehovahÂ’s Witnesses Extremists” Another country declares a religious group as "extremist" The Labelling of this religious group as "extremist" is becoming a tragic trend. Six months ago, Russia described Jehovah's witness as an extremist organization. Now, the South Ossetian Supreme Court, a separatist region, has done the same. This decision is based on the attorney-General of south ossetia, the assertion of uruzmag djagaev that "extremist ideas and extremist literature" are distributed and promoted in the group's meetings. The Court's decision was announced by zalina lalieva, the minister of justice for sout…

UPDATE: We're good to go! Our film begins pre-production in March and goes to Camera in October!

Blood [working title] is a feature film about a woman torn between deeply held beliefs and the risk of losing her daughter. Filled with captivating characters and set against a backdrop of the Jehovah's Witness culture, this drama poses interesting questions and looks at the place where religious ideals clash with human rights. For more information or to inquire about partnering with us for this project, please …

From the Newspaper the “San Diego Reader” - October 12, 2017 Jehovah's Witnesses look in other direction Lawyers for religious group argue against daily fines in sex-abuse case By Dorian Hargrove, Oct. 12, 2017  Attorneys for the Jehovah's Witness church appeared before a state appellate court yesterday (October 11) in hopes of overturning the $4000 daily sanctions that a trial court ordered them to pay for refusing to turn over documents in one of two sex-abuse cases.  Osbaldo Padron, a former parishioner of the Linda Vista Jehovah's Witness congregation, filed his lawsuit against the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, JehovahÂ’s Wi…

The righteous one will live by reason of faith.—Gal. 3:11. We must never doubt that if we follow GodÂ’s direction, it will turn out for our good. It is vital that we put faith in the One who can really help. Paul reminds us that God is “the one who can, according to his power that is operating in us, do more than superabundantly beyond all the things we ask or conceive.” (Eph. 3:20) JehovahÂ’s servants do all they can to carry out the will of God, but knowing their limitations, they trust in Jehovah to bless the outcome. Are we not glad that our God is with us? Can we expect our requests for more faith to be answered? The Bible assures us that we can when “we ask …

There will be no dew or rain except by my word !—1 Ki. 17:1. In IsraelÂ’s early history, people had the opportunity to see and hear about how God acted in IsraelÂ’s behalf. Jehovah miraculously delivered his people out of Egypt, and then king after king fell before them. (Josh. 9:3, 9, 10) IsraelÂ’s opponents refused to acknowledge that God was fighting for Israel, and that led to their defeat. Later, wicked King Ahab had every opportunity to see GodÂ’s hand in events. Ahab saw fire come down from heaven when Elijah prayed for his offering to be consumed. Elijah then indicated that Jehovah would bring the drought they were experiencing to an end, telling Ahab: “Go d…

I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.—Jer. 10:23. From the Bible we learn that humans are not created with the right of self-determination, to be independent of God, and that ignoring this fundamental truth will have sad consequences. This is critically important to our welfare. Only by recognizing GodÂ’s authority can we enjoy peace and harmony. How loving of Jehovah that he chooses to reveal this important truth! A loving father is deeply concerned about the future of his children, wanting them to have a real and meaningful purpose in life. Regrettably, most people are in th…

[There is] a time to laugh . . . and a time to dance.—Eccl. 3:4. Not every pastime is beneficial, relaxing, or refreshing; nor is it good to engage in recreation too much or too often. How can our conscience help us to enjoy upbuilding recreation and benefit from it? The Scriptures warn against certain behavior identified as “the works of the flesh.” These works include “sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and things like these.” Paul wrote that “those who practice such things will not inherit GodÂ’s Kingdom.” (Gal. 5:19-2…

Children will praise your name! ????? Lia took my brochure Listen to God and called our neighbor, Anabelle. Lia gave it to her then started browsing it. I let them be, thinking that they were only playing. When it came to Noah’s picture, I donÂ’t know why but Lia called me. I found out that Anabelle do not know Noah so I told them the story. After a while I asked Anabelle if she wanted a bible study. She started to say no when Lia stood up and run inside the house. I was surprised she came back with a Bible and the book Bible Teach. IÂ’ll ask the girl again tomorrow about a bible study because in the end they went inside the house and played. Â #jw

In an effort to make their patients feel better about themselves, doctors will sometimes encourage these to forget their past misdeeds and move forward. While there is nothing wrong or inappropriate about this kind of advice the question is how would we balance this with the counsel found a Deuteronomy 9:7? Clearly, Jehovah God wants us to remember our past sins in a ‘positive wayÂ’ so that we avoid repeating the same offensive behavior. Not forgetting what weÂ’ve done to hurt Jehovah can be very constructive (not destructive) in rebuilding a better and stronger relationship with our Father Jehovah.Â

In what way did the Israelites’ clothing not wear out and their feet not become swollen during their 40 year wilderness trek? This was a miraculous provision, as was the regular supply of manna. The Israelites used the same garments and protective footwear they started out with, likely passing them on to others as children grew up and adults died. Today, Jehovah also cares for our needs so that we can serve him faithfully and with perseverance. We never want to lose our faith in Jehovah and disobey him like the thousands of Israelites who died in the wilderness. Their bad example is a warning for us today. - Highlights From the Book of Deuteronomy 8:3,4.

Many assert that there is no God and that life is a result of mindless evolution. If this view were true, life would simply be a product of a string of chemical and biological accidents, and our search for purpose and universal principles would be completely pointless. ???? Others believe that God created us and then abandoned us. In effect, this opinion renders us spiritual orphans, once again bereft of true purpose and standards. Consider: God provided each member of the animal kingdom with the instinctive wisdom needed to fulfill its niche in nature. As a result, his profound wisdom is manifest in the world around us. Would that same Creator form us and then …

New layer discovered in human eye The discovery will make operations safer and simpler for patients with an injury in this layer. Scientists have discovered a previously unknown layer lurking in the human eye. The newfound body part, dubbed Dua's layer, is a skinny but tough structure measuring just 15 microns thick, where one micron is one-millionth of a meter and more than 25,000 microns equal an inch. It sits at the back of the cornea, the sensitive, transparent tissue at the very front of the human eye that helps to focus incoming light, researchers say.  The feature is named for its discoverer, Harminder Dua, a professor of ophthalm…

HOW HEAVY IS YOUR BAG? ???? A school teacher had each student bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes. For every person a student had refused to forgive in their life experience, they were told to choose a potato, write on it the name and date, and put it in the plastic bag. Some of the bags, as you can imagine, were quite heavy. ???? They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week, putting it beside the bed at night, on the car seat when driving, next to the desk at work. ???? The hassle of lugging this around made it clear what a weight was being carried spiritually. ???? And how each one had to p…

God is very approachable. Just as a loving father is glad to have his children speak freely with him, Jehovah God welcomes our prayers. At the same time, like any wise father, God has good reasons for not answering some requests. ???????? The apostle John explains: “This is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14) ???????? Our requests must be in harmony with GodÂ’s will. Some pray for things that are clearly not GodÂ’s will. Others pray with improper motives. The disciple James warns against such abuse of prayer, saying: “You do ask, and yet you do not receive,…

Putin and the 'triumph of Christianity' in Russia

Five years ago, a notoriously profane protest by a female punk band, Pussy Riot, in Moscow's main cathedral sought to satirise the growing rapport between the Russian state and the Orthodox Church, most especially the close regard President Vladimir Putin and the church's spiritual leader Patriarch Kirill have for each other. At the time, this was a relatively fringe concern; most Russians had other things on their minds - such as the country's economic problems, its deteriorating relationship with the West over Syriaand the re-election of Putin to the top job after an interregnum as prime minister. But now it's back on the agenda because many of Putin's oppon…
