Natural Disasters—Evidence That God Is Cruel? ?????????? WHAT YOU MAY HEAR: “God rules the world, so he causes natural disasters; therefore, he must be cruel.” WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) Who is “the wicked one”? The Bible identifies him as Satan. (Matthew 13:19; Mark 4:15) Is that far-fetched? Think of this: If Satan has power over the world, then he influences humans to be as selfish, greedy, and shortsighted as he is. Would that not help to explain why man so badly mismanages his own environment on the earth? Many experts warn that mismanagement of the environment may play a role in natural dis…

GOOGLE AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION OF RUSSIAN In Sochi, a believer was arrested for 10 days September 6, 2017 in the Khosta district of Sochi, police detained two Jehovah's Witnesses, 16-year-old AY and 32-year-old Sergei Isaev, during a walk. After many hours of interrogation by the FSB, Sergei Isaev was arrested for 10 days on false charges of disobeying the police. The casual passer-by recognized in the men of Jehovah's Witnesses and, noticing the policemen and the Cossack patrol, informed them that Jehovah's Witnesses were walking along the alley, "which are forbidden." The police and the Cossacks escorted the faithful to the police station, where they, including a mi…

Who is Jehovah? He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth! ????????? There is no God like Him in heaven and on earth! Learn about His Qualities and Majesty! ??? (Je·ho?vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wah? (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”]. Therefore, the New World Translation properly renders the above Hebrew expression as “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” Jehovah thereafter added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to you.’”—Ex 3:14, ftn.

Will Man Ruin the Earth Beyond Repair? ????? “A generation is going, and a generation is coming, but the earth remains forever.”—KING SOLOMON, 11TH CENTURY B.C.E.* The ancient prophet Isaiah described God as “the One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18) Clearly, GodÂ’s purpose is for the earth to be inhabited by man forever. ????? Sadly, man has misused GodÂ’s beautiful gift to the point of ruination. Yet, the CreatorÂ’s purpose has not changed. A man of old said: “God is not a mere man who tells lies, nor a son of man who changes his min…

Prophecies Now Starting to Be Fulfilled - What Will Happen Next? ???????? “The wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them." (Isa.11:6-9) – ???????? Jehovah assured the exiles that they and their livestock would be safe. The lion would eat straw in the sense that it would not devour the JewsÂ’ cattle. Faithful ones would have nothing to fear from such predators. Jehovah promised that his people would be safe in the restored land of Judah, even in the wilderness and…

I had the privilege of meeting Harold and Fay King back in 1990 when they visited my brother Paul. Harold studied the Bible with Paul in Hong Kong prior to his being transferred to Singapore where we eventually all met up. His account from w63 7/15 and my personal discussions with him did much to help me at that time. Since then he has passed on along with his wife Faye. Enjoy reading their life stories posted here.

JUST IN: Hurricane Irma A JW Brother from Puerto Rico: Thanks to the Lord here in Puerto Rico we barely had the impact of the storm. But let me tell you what situation we are with only estimated winds of 90-95 mph. We are without energy / water on 90 % of the island. We have big old trees ripped from their roots. There are places underwater and it's still raining. There are roads closed by water, or fallen trees or cables everywhere. And again, we barely had any winds. We have seen images (via phones) of Barbuda, st. St. Maarten. Thomas, and the situation is worse there. This week was I guess we started our visit to co, and also, a great construction work o…

“Man and beast you preserve, O Jehovah.” (Psalm 36:6)...The Bible indicates that God places a high value on animal life. The Bible says that at the time of creation, “God went on to make the wild animals of the earth according to their kinds and the domestic animals according to their kinds and all the creeping animals of the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”—Genesis 1:25...Clearly, Jehovah approves of his animal creation, and he expects humans to treat animals with due regard. –  ?????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102015126?q=protect+the+animals&p=par#h=23

Do You Imitate God's Loving-Kindness? ????? "From far away Jehovah appeared to me and said: “I have loved you with an everlasting love.That is why I have drawn you to me with loyal love." – (Jeremiah 31:3) ????? Loving-kindness is a precious quality of Jehovah God in which he delights, and it is manifest in all his dealings with his servants. (Ps 36:7; 62:12; Mic 7:18) Were this not the case, they would have perished long ago. (La 3:22) Thus, Moses could plead in behalf of rebellious Israel, both on the basis of JehovahÂ’s great name and because He is a God of loving-kindness.—Nu 14:13-19. ????? The Scriptures show that JehovahÂ’s loving-ki…

MANY years ago I was in a car group of four Brothers, driving back from a party gathering in Baltimore, Maryland to Richmond Virginia . Sidney was driving, I was riding "shotgun". Steve was behind Sidney, and the other Tom was behind me. We had the Beach Boys on the radio/tape player, LOUD, and having a GREAT time. Sidney was slapping the sides of the steering wheel to the music, ... I was slapping the dashboard. Steve was slapping the back of Sidney's seat, and Tom was singing along ( more or less) as we all were (more or less). We are on Interstate 95, about half way to Richmond, and it is dark, about 3AM. SUDDENLY, Tom yells out "HOW LONG ARE…

This notated image from the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP satellite shows cloud-top temperatures inside Hurricane Irma, and other features of the storm. (The scale is in degrees minus Celsius, so the temperatures get warmer toward the center of the storm.) The image was captured on Sept. 4 at 12:32 a.m. EDT (0432 GMT), while the storm was still a Category 3 hurricane. Credit: NOAA/NASA Hurricane Irma, a "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 storm churning in the Atlantic, is gathering steam as it makes its way toward the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and parts of Florida. And this monster storm could pack a punch; Hurricane Irma's maximum sustained winds have been recorded…
