TAYLOR, Mich. (WXYZ) - Taylor police are searching for a flasher who struck last Friday during the farmers' market. Meanwhile, the market manager tells us he's been promised extra patrols. The manager says two women, who were Jehovah's Witnesses, had been standing out front on Friday around 2:30 pm. He says hundreds of people were out there, as a car show was going on during the same time. A man started talking to the women about religion, and then flashed the ladies. That guy ran away and drove off. Market manager Thom Ouellette says he talked to the women, who immediately called for help. He described them as being in disbelief and shock. Ouelle…

(Eph 5:21-30) An aerialist catapults from his swinging trapeze and folds into a human ball as he somersaults through the air. He snaps out of the spin and extends his arms toward his partner, confident she will be there to catch him. However, his partner is mad at him and unwilling to support him. She refuses to play her role in this very important part of the act. The result is a failed performance, a shocked audience and an injured aerialist. This illustrates the effort required from both husband and wife in a marriage. It takes two to make the marriage a success. However, if one mate refuses to play their God given role as set out in the Bible, the result can be disast…

If man can do this? Can you iMAGINE THE POWER OF JEHOVAH ALMIGHTY GOD? ?⚡️?☀️??? (This is an illustration of power produced by man. Mediate on who made power to exist and why? Jehovah's power is unlimited and forever are we not in awe of Him Our Father?) ????? Jehovah—The One Who Is Vigorous in Power ? “Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.”—ISAIAH 40:26. ????? POWER is something many of us take for granted. For example, we give little thought to the electrical power that gives us light and heat or to the convenience of plugging in any electrical appliance we may own. Only an unexpecte…

"HOW ARE YOU?" ....?fine••• Lesson for today. (1 Peter 3:8) "Finally, all of you have unity of mind, fellow feeling, brotherly affection, tender compassion, and humility." ??????? Companions of the man Job heard no fewer than ten of his discourses. Still, Job exclaimed: “O that I had someone listening to me!” (Job 31:35) ??????? Why? Because their listening provided no comfort. They neither cared about Job nor wanted to understand his feelings. They surely did not have fellow feeling as sympathetic listeners. But the apostle Peter counsels: “All of you be like-minded, showing fellow feeling, having brotherly affection, tenderly compass…

April Cadoreth (a) How did the Supreme Court of Canada come to make a remarkable decision regarding minors and the use of blood? (b) How might this case encourage young servants of Jehovah? Canada. Generally, courts recognize the rights of parents to determine the best medical care for their children. At times, courts have even ruled that a mature minor should be accorded respect when it comes to making medical decisions. That was true of April Cadoreth. At the age of 14, April was admitted to a hospital with severe internal bleeding. A few months earlier, she had completed an Advance Medical Directive card with written instructions that blood transfusions sho…

In Pater v. Pater, 63 Ohio St. 3d 393, 588 N.E. 2d 794 (1992), Ohio's Supreme Court ruled that religious customs (Jehovah's Witness in this case) that restrict a child's social activities -- even if they separate the child from peers or go against community standards -- are not enough to justify court intervention unless the practices harm the mental or physical health of the child.source<<<click Pater v.

LIFEISNOWHERE ??? OR ? LIFE IS NO WHERE? ??? ARE you facing changes in your life? Are you finding it hard to accept those changes? Most of us have been or will be in that situation. Some real-life examples from the past can help us to identify qualities that will be useful. ?????? For example, consider David and the many changes he had to deal with. He was a mere shepherd boy when Samuel anointed him as future king. While still young, he volunteered to fight the Philistine giant Goliath. (1 Sam. 17:26-32, 42) Young David was invited to live at the royal court of King Saul and was appointed as head of the army. David could not even have imagined all the…

Train Your Child to Serve Jehovah If . . . your right eye is making you stumble, tear it out.—Matt. 5:29. Ask yourself: ‘What may tempt my child to look at pornography? Does he know why it is so dangerous? Am I approachable so that he will come to me for help if he is ever tempted to look at pornography?’ Even while your children are quite young, you could say to them: “If you ever come across an immoral website and you feel tempted to look at it, please come and talk to me. You don’t have to be ashamed. I want to help you.” Insight will also help you to choose your own entertainment prudently. “What we as parents approve of in the way of music, movies, or books…

Mark 3:35 "Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.” It's important at work and at school that we watch our association with those who do not share our beliefs. Even if we are the only Witness there it's important we stand firm on this scriptural requirement. We want to be kind to all, but to become close friends with those who don't love God can cause serious problems. If you are thirsting for good association the world only offers a large ocean of saltwater friends. They can begin to slowly dehydrate you spiritually until you eventually lose your relationship with Jehovah. Even within the congregation where fresh water association is a…

The family of a Jehovah's Witness who died after repeatedly refusing blood transfusions can't sue the hospital where doctors begged for a chance to save her life, a state appeals court ruled. The case, outlined in an opinion by Superior Court Judge Jacqueline O. Shogan, involves a convergence of religion, medicine and the law. Its focus is on what happened before Terri Seels-Davila, a Jehovah's Witness missionary, died after giving birth at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia in November 2010. Seels-Davila, who had been serving on mission with her husband in Nicaragua, chose Hahnemann because of its "bloodless medicine" program for patients who wo…

"Continue reminding them . . . to be reasonable."—Titus 3:1, 2. ???☄️??? For some reason, though, Lot pleaded for permission to flee to another location. Just think—Lot actually asked Jehovah to change His instructions! ???☄️??? A Lesson From Lot Of course, even faithful servants of God can momentarily lose their sense of urgency. Think of Abraham’s nephew Lot. He learned from two angelic visitors that God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. The news could not have surprised Lot, who “was greatly distressed by the indulgence of the law-defying people in loose conduct.” (2 Peter 2:7) Still, when the two angels came to escort him out of Sodom, …

~ How Deep is Your Love ~ Can it Handle Storms Clouds? ~ ??⚡️?? ~ Let the Wicked be Wicked ~ Only the Righteous will Behold His Face ???♀️???? (Psalm 11:1-7) . . .In Jehovah I have taken refuge. How dare YOU men say to my soul: “Flee as a bird to YOUR mountain!” 2 For, look! the wicked ones themselves bend the bow, They do make ready their arrow upon the bowstring, To shoot in the gloom at the ones upright in heart. 3 When the foundations themselves are torn down, What must anyone righteous do? 4 Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah—in the heavens is his throne. His own eyes behold, his own beaming eyes examine the sons of men. 5 Jehovah himself e…

SOON GOD'S JUDGEMENTS WILL BE DONE! ???⚖️??? Revelation chapter 14 goes on to describe further events that are to take place in the hour of judgment. Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, is mentioned first: “Another, a second angel, followed, saying: ‘She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!’” (Revelation 14:8) Yes, from God’s viewpoint, Babylon the Great has already fallen. In 1919, Jehovah’s anointed servants were set free from the bondage of Babylonish doctrines and practices, which have dominated peoples and nations for millenniums. ???⚖️???

The Most Useful Comparison You May Ever Make ????? Lesson for today. (Mark 7:13) Christians unitedly followed the teachings and instructions of the Founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ. What about your church? Do you believe that it teaches what Christ taught and what the early followers of Christ believed in? How can you know for sure? There is only one way—to use the Bible as a measuring stick. ????? Consider this: Jesus Christ had a deep respect for the Scriptures as the Word of God. He did not approve of those who watered down the Bible’s teachings by giving priority to man-made traditions. (Mark 7:9-13) ????? We can thus safely conclu…
