These are the worldwide percentages of Jehovah´s Witnesses and where they live. A whopping 50% live in the Americas, and a whopping 35% live in the US, or Mexico, or Brazil. (The percentages shown on the right pie graph are of the worldwide total, so if it says 15% for the US it means that 15% of all JW´s worldwide live in the US, not 15% of the ones that live in the Americas). For example the data below is from the 2017 Year Book, pages 47 to 76 - "Preaching and Teaching Earth Wide" Learn more about Jehovah's Witnesses

•2 Kings 6:16 —"But he said: “Do not be afraid! For there are more who are with us than those who are with them.” ???????? ELIJAH was a prophet who called for a test of godship at Mount Carmel. The northern kingdom was being corrupted by Baal worship. But Elijah courageously challenged 450 prophets of Baal to prove that Baal was the true God. Frantic hours of prayer on their part yielded nothing. Then Elijah laid out his sacrifice, drenched it repeatedly with water, and prayed to Jehovah. When fire promptly fell from heaven, devoured the sacrifice, and licked up the water, the people exclaimed: “Jehovah is the true God!” At that, Elijah ordered that the p…

The world lost a special lady Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017, when Norma Lee Netz passed away. She was born July 3, 1947, in Mullan, Idaho, to Norman and Jane Lowry. Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th anniversary on March 10. What a testament of true love it has been to watch these two. With five daughters, our house was always loud, busy and full of laughter and many extra kids. Summers were spent gardening and camping on the North Fork as a family. Mom also proved she was an excellent shot during hunting season after bagging several huge bull elk and bear. Her faith was very important to her and she enjoyed attending services at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.…

This is a publisher card while a brother was in an Oklamoma prison from 1967-1968 due to the neutrality issue. He served 18 months in an Oklahoma, USA prison due to the neutrality issue. While in prison the brothers did personal study for their regular pioneer hours. This was his publisher card while he was there from 1967-1968. He said this was when he really made the truth his own. Proved Satan a Liar!Â

August 18 2017 World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses (17.08.2017) – On August 17, 2017, the Vyborg City Court in Russia ruled to ban the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT), a Bible published by JehovahÂ’s Witnesses. RussiaÂ’s Law on Counteracting Extremist Activity, signed by President Putin himself in November 2015, explicitly prohibits declaring sacred texts, such as the Bible, to be extremist. In an unconscionable move to circumvent the law, the court relied on a so-called expert study alleging that the NWT is not a Bible, opening the way for it to be banned. Commenting on the ruling shortly after it was issued, David A. Semonian, inter…

The World’s Biggest Flower - The Smell is NOT Beautiful! ??????? 1. First, consider its size. The rafflesia can grow to about three feet (1 m) in diameter—the size of a bus tire—and weigh some 24 pounds (11 kg).* The flower has five thick, pinkish-brown fleshy petals covered with pale wartlike spots. The petals converge in a large hollow that resembles a pot and that can hold up to 13 pints (6 liters) of water. ??????? 2. Second, give thought to its odor. According to one candid description, the rafflesia smells like a “buffalo carcass in an advanced state of decomposition,” earning it the well-deserved alternative names corpse flower and stinking…

Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.—2 Cor. 6:14. Watching their associations is particularly important for single Christians who want to get married. The Bible counsels GodÂ’s servants who are seeking a marriage mate to marry “only in the Lord,” that is, to marry only a dedicated, baptized worshipper of Jehovah who lives according to Scriptural teachings. (1 Cor. 7:39) By marrying fellow believers, Christians gain companions who are dedicated to Jehovah and will help them maintain their integrity to him. Jehovah knows what is best for his servants, and he has been consistent in stating his viewpoint regarding marriage. Note his easily understood command …

Jehovah Will Not Delay! ????????? “Even if [the vision] should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.”—HABAKKUK 2:3. ?????? “AT MY guard post I will keep standing.” That was the resolve of GodÂ’s prophet Habakkuk. (Habakkuk 2:1) JehovahÂ’s people of the 20th century have shown that same determination. Hence, they have responded zealously to this call sounded at a landmark convention in September 1922: “This is the day of all days. Behold, the King reigns! You are his publicity agents. Therefore advertise, advertise, advertise, the King and his kingdom.” ????????? As JehovahÂ’s Witnesse…

WHAT IS LIFE TEACHING YOU? - WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LIFE? - DO YOU USE YOUR TIME WISELY OR NOT LISTEN TO WHAT IT TEACHES YOU? ??????? TIME IS RUNNING OUT! - DON'T BE FOOLED IT WILL COME SUDDENLY! ????? The Bible identifies that one as a wicked spirit called Devil and Satan. He is “misleading the entire inhabited earth” and causing many of the troubles that beset mankind. Yet, the Bible also tells us that his time is running out. (Revelation 12:9, 12) Soon all the distress that Satan has brought upon earthÂ’s inhabitants will end by divine intervention. According to the Bible, GodÂ’s promised new world of righteousness will end hopelessness and despair.Â…

Tell them to work at good, . . . so that they may get a firm hold on the real life.—1 Tim. 6:18, 19. How might we prepare now for life in GodÂ’s new world? Well, suppose we were planning to move to another country. How could we prepare for that change? We might start learning the language of the people who live there. Learning about their customs would be beneficial. We might sample some of their foods. To a certain extent, we would begin to live as if we were already residents of that land. After all, that is the way we expect to live once we arrive there. Similarly, we can prepare for life in the new world by living now, to the extent possible, as we expect to live…
