We started the Don't Give Up Regional Assembly in Granada, Spain.2017 ??? Progressive notes by the regional assemblyThe objective of public preaching, with the cart, is, start conversations and not just stand aside without saying anything.Moses was the first human to work miracles.Anecdote in Granada, the light of the Congress palace is cut. It was remarkable to see nearly 2900 people stay in their seats, only lit by hundreds of tablets.Virtue is not just to avoid the bad, but to promote the goodStamina is not resignation. The power of the Lord complements our efforts.

Working Together With God—A Cause for Rejoicing! ????? "We beg: “Become reconciled to God.”—2 Cor. 5:20. ????? Jesus said that there is happiness both in giving and in receiving. (Acts 20:35) It brought us joy to receive the truth, and it brings us joy to share the truth with others. As we share Bible truths with others, we see spiritually hungry ones filled with delight as they begin to understand and appreciate our God and the precious truths contained in his Word. It touches our heart to see them make changes not just in their thinking but also in their way of life. We realize that the work of sharing the good news is vitally important. It opens …

M. Stephen Lett - member of the Governing Body ????????? 15 Happy are the people who know the joyful shouting. O Jehovah, they walk in the light of your face." (Psalms 89:15). ????????? The ‘light of GodÂ’s faceÂ’ means divine favor. (Ps 44:3; 89:15) “Lift up the light of your face upon us” is an expression meaning ‘show us favor.Â’ (Ps 4:6) Similarly, the favor of a ruler is referred to as “the light of the kingÂ’s face.”—Pr 16:15. ????????? Light may denote brightness or cheerfulness, the opposite of gloom. (Job 30:26) This may explain the words of Job (29:24): “The light of my face they would not cast down.” Although others were …

If We are Loved and Treated with Loving-Kindness, How Much Should we Show this to Others! ~ ???? (Job 10:12) Life and loving-kindness you have worked with me; And your own care has guarded my spirit." What Does Jehovah Expect of Us? “What is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God?”—MICAH 6:8. We Must Love Kindness Jehovah expects us “to love kindness.” The Hebrew word translated “kindness” is also rendered “loving-kindness,” or “loyal love.” Loving-kindness is an active regard for others, a compassionate concern for them. Loving-kindness differs from the quality…

“JesusÂ’ compassion paints a touching portrait of JehovahÂ’s concern for each one of his servants."—John 5:19.  ?????? “Weep With Those Who Weep” ?????? “FOR almost a year after the death of our son, we felt deep and excruciating pain,” said Susi. Another Christian said that when his wife died suddenly, he experienced “indescribable physical pain.” Sadly, countless others experience this kind of agony. Many in the Christian congregation may not have expected their loved ones to die this side of Armageddon. ??????

Brother Barry English and his wife at Bethel, Krugersdorp South Africa volunteered to travel to the northern part of South Africa to learn the Venda language, before setting up congregations among them. See Watchtower, 1st April 1999 pp 26-27. Below is the first part of his story: For the past ten years, my wife and I have worked as full-time evangelizers among the Venda. The Venda dwell south of the Limpopo River in the north of South Africa, and their nation is made up of a number of tribes that crossed the Limpopo during past centuries. Some Venda claim that their forebears settled here over 1,000 years ago. Indeed, this region was once part of an old civilizatio…

I am sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but nevertheless I will address a couple of things and leave it up to admin to move it under the appropriate topic if they want. Evidence in the Conti case shows that the perpetrator was not known as a pedophile to the elders at the time he allegedly molested Conti. The elders had handled a “situation” several years prior regarding his promiscuous teenage step daughter. The perpetrator voluntarily confessed to having “accidentally” touched his step daughter’s breasts on one occasion. This did not lead the elders into believing, rightly or wrongly, that he was a danger to other children in the congregation, and they consi…

Paul succumbed to death July 20, 2017 at about 4 a.m. He had a three year bout with stage four colon cancer, which had metastasized to the liver and lungs. He was preceded in death by his father Jon William Stephenson, brother, William (Bill) Stephenson, and two children, Kimberly, and Kevin. During a twenty-five year career in the woods, Paul, better known by many as “Bunk”, developed a reputation as a skilled strip sawyer. The beauty of the woods, the solitude of being away from town, and the sweat of a hard dayÂ’s work were things that he enjoyed while logging. Both in the logging industry, and during his fourteen years at Tripco, he developed a lot of longs…

OurCreatorJehovahGod? Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name.—Isa. 40:26. ????? When we raise our eyes and telescopes heavenward, we find an immense and highly ordered system of galaxies, stars, and planets, all moving with great precision. ????? This could not be the product of chance or of an unplanned and uncontrolled cosmic accident. So we must ask, What force was originally employed in order to produce our orderly universe? ????? We humans are limited in our ability to identify that force through scientific observation and experimenta…

"You will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name."—Matt. 24:9 ????? What is the “name” of Jesus on account of which Christians are hated by all nations? Illustrating this other aspect of JesusÂ’ “name” is his prophetic warning that his followers would be “objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.” (Mt 24:9; also Mt 10:22; Joh 15:20, 21;Ac 9:15, 16) ????? Clearly, this would be, not because his name represented that of a Ransomer or Redeemer, but because it represented GodÂ’s appointed Ruler, the King of kings, to whom all nations should bow in submission or else experience destruction.—Re 19:11-16…

Pray for Many in poverty in other Countries! ???????????????????? Poverty among Jehovah's witnesses Perhaps first-world witnesses like Europe or North America, we are not really aware of the plight of our brothers in the poorest countries. ???????????????????? We get real experiences from brothers who count as they go day by day. Many missionaries count and do not end the things they see, as in a truly poor area of Honduras. ???????????????????? When someone dies in the congregation, they make a collection to bring a carpenter to make them a coffin and bury the deceased with an old man's speech. The missionaries wore glasses or…
