I spent one year as an auxilliary pioneer then decided to apply as a regular pioneer. After a year, I had the privilege to attend the Pioneer Service School. It was an unforgettable experience because our schedule for PSS was moved three times and the class was held in Cebuano which was quite surprising to me because Hiligaynon is my local language, not Cebuano. Good thing I was able to understand the whole week class because I used to work for years in Cebuano speaking cities. ??????? My journey in pioneering was never easy. I had to quit my full time job due to some conflicts with work so I can attend my PSS. I didn't regret anything in giving up a lot of thi…

Displaying Good Manners as Ministers of God “Become imitators of God.”—EPH. 5:1. ????? CONCERNING respectful conduct, author Sue Fox writes: “ThereÂ’s no such thing as a vacation from good manners. Politeness works everywhere, all the time.” When people make a habit of being courteous, problems with others are minimized and often disappear. But the opposite is also true. Treating others in an ill-mannered fashion leads to conflict, resentment, and sadness. Good manners generally flourish in the true Christian congregation. ????? Still, we must guard against adopting the bad manners that are common in the world today. In the fast-paced life t…

Now You Know Some Of Your History! ???????? Did you know that the first computer for translating multiple languages (MEPS) was invented by Jehovah's Witnesses, to enable them to provide Bible-based publications --& Bibles-- in *many* languages: ???????? "MEPS is an abbreviation that stands for Multilanguage Electronic Phototypesetting System. It is a system that JehovahÂ’s Witnesses themselves have developed for getting written material published quickly in many languages. They developed MEPS because nowhere in the world was such a system available for publishing in the many languages in which they print their Bible literature. ???????? …

“I was especially fond of the sons of men.”—PROV. 8:31. ????????? GODÂ’S firstborn Son was the earliest and most complete expression of JehovahÂ’s unfathomable wisdom. He was wisdom personified, “a master worker” alongside his Father. We can only imagine the joy and satisfaction that he experienced as his Father “prepared the heavens” and “established the foundations of the earth.” However, though appreciating these inanimate things, GodÂ’s firstborn Son “was especially fond of the sons of men.” (Prov. 8:22-31) Yes, Jesus has a fondness, or tender affection, for mankind that stretches back to his prehuman existence. ??????? Later, as proof o…

"They would not . . . worship any god at all except their own God."—Dan. 3:28. ??? ????? Loyalty to Jehovah Brings Rewards The account of the three Hebrews can strengthen our determination to be loyal to Jehovah In the seventh century B.C.E., three Hebrew servants of Jehovah were given clear evidence that God rewards faith and courage. King Nebuchadnezzar assembled BabylonÂ’s dignitaries and demanded that they worship a towering image of gold. Any who would not do so were to die in a fiery furnace. The three Hebrews respectfully told Nebuchadnezzar: “Our God whom we are serving is able to rescue us. Out of the burning fiery furnace and out of you…

have noticed another popular pattern of behaviour amongst witnesses in recent years. Many, and I mean LOTS of ones with Instagram accounts have closed the wife's account, and have started a "couple's" account instead. Also, for families. The children's accounts have been closed, and the husband starts a "family account". It is mainly on the husband's device, and seemingly under his control. (as to what gets posted, and who they follow etc) It just smacks of the high control nature that the Society encourages! These women and teenagers CAN NOT have their own accounts, but must "subject themselves" under their husbands control?? If that doesn't smack of …

"Whenever Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with God, he would hear the voice conversing with him from above the cover of the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubs; and God would speak to him." (Numbers 7:89) ????? *** Holy Spirit Active in the Invisible Heavenly Realm *** This golden ark or chest was used as a receptacle for sacred articles. It had a cover surmounted by two golden cherubs with wings spread out to cover the mercy seat or propitiatory. When this ark was placed in the Most Holy of the tabernacle or temple, a miraculous light (the Shekinah light) appeared above the wings of the cherubs. (Exodus 25:10-22; 2 Kings 19:15) …

Those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation that God created until that time.—Mark 13:19. We are living in what the Bible calls “the last days,” and straight ahead is a tribulation like nothing that has occurred before. (2 Tim. 3:1) Furthermore, Satan and his demons have been cast out of heaven and are confined to the vicinity of the earth, resulting in intense woe for earthÂ’s inhabitants. (Rev. 12:9, 12) We have been commissioned to carry out a historic and unprecedented preaching campaign that is reaching peoples and language groups as never before! To keep receiving GodÂ’s blessing, we need to pay attenti…

Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself.—Dan. 1:8. A mature young person is stable in his convictions. He does not act like a friend of God at the Kingdom Hall but a friend of the world at school. He remains unmovable even during tests of faith. (Eph. 4:14, 15) Of course, no one is perfect; young people as well as adults make mistakes from time to time. (Eccl. 7:20) Still, as you are considering baptism, it would be wise to analyze to what extent you are resolved in your heart to stick to JehovahÂ’s standards. Ask yourself, ‘What is my track record of adhering to GodÂ’s standards?Â’ Give thought to the way you have reacted to recent tests of f…

RAINBOW ??? ? WHAT DOES A RAINBOW MEAN? A semicircular bow, or arc, exhibiting a spectrum of colors; a visible sign of JehovahÂ’s covenant promise that ‘no more would all flesh be cut off by waters of a deluge, and no more would there occur a deluge to bring the earth to ruin.Â’ (Ge 9:11-16) There is no separate Hebrew word for rainbow, so the normal word for “bow” (with which to shoot arrows) is used in the Bible.—Eze 1:28. Complicated theories and formulas are used to explain the formation of a rainbow. Basically, it seems that as white light enters a raindrop it is refracted and dispersed into different colors, the drop acting like a tiny p…

"The trumpeters and the singers were as one in causing one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah. "— 2 Chron. 5:13. ?????? During SolomonÂ’s reign, music was featured in pure worship in a large way. At the inauguration of the temple, there was a fullscale orchestra, with a brass section composed of 120 trumpets. (2 Chron. 5:12) ?????? As soon as that joyful sound had gone up, “the house itself was filled with a cloud,” indicating JehovahÂ’s approval. ????????? How thrilling, how awe-inspiring it must have been to hear the sound of all those trumpets along with thousands of singers blending as one! Music was also used in wor…

How many ways to love? - Oh count the ways! ~ 1??1?? WAYS! OR 1??6??? YES! ? (1 Corinthians 13:8-13) 8 Love never fails. But whether there are [gifts of] prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; 10 but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a babe, I used to speak as a babe, to think as a babe, to reason as a babe; but now that I have become a man, I have done away with the [traits] of a babe. 12 For at present we see in hazy outline by means of a m…

Speak What “Is Good for Building Up”  Must YOU Gossip? ??????????? "Make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business." (1Thess 4:11) ??????????? “Let a rotten saying not proceed out of your mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up.”—EPHESIANS 4:29 ??????????? Harmful gossip, slander. Gossip is idle talk about people and their lives. Is all gossip bad? Not if we mean innocent conversation in which we might share positive or helpful news, such as who just got baptized or who needs a word of encouragement. First-century Christians had a keen interest in one anotherÂ’s welfare and shared appropriate informati…

May Jehovah be between you and me and between your offspring and my offspring forever.—1 Sam. 20:42. Loyalty is almost universally admired. However, we would miss a vital lesson if we were to admire JonathanÂ’s loyalty to David without taking into account his loyalty to God. Why did Jonathan view David as a friend rather than a rival? Loyalty to God had first place in JonathanÂ’s heart. Indeed, loyalty to Jehovah was the very basis for his loyalty to David. And both men loyally lived up to their sworn oath. As Christians, we do not merely admire loyalty in others; we ourselves are loyal to family members, friends, and fellow worshippers. (1 Thess. 2:10, 11) But what …
