Jehovah's Name On A Vatican Statue - יהוה ??? WHERE IT IS FOUND TODAY BUT NOT TAUGHT TO THE PEOPLE - The Challenge of Knowing God by Name *** יהוה ??? Modern Attempts to Efface God’s Name Today, scholars are aware that Jehovah’s personal name appears some 7,000 times in the Bible. Thus, some widely used translations, such as the Catholic Jerusalem Bible, the Catholic La Biblia Latinoamérica in Spanish, and the popular Reina-Valera version, also in Spanish, freely use God’s personal name.

Pursuing Kindness in a Hostile World ? BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER! ????? “The desirable thing in earthling man is his loving-kindness.”—PROVERBS 19:22 ????? (Ephesians 4:32) . . .But become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave YOU." ????? DO YOU consider yourself to be a kind person? If so, living in today’s world can be trying.

As we noted in the preceding article, t…

“How great and wonderful Jehovah is! Not to long ago I had lost my mother, a year and a half after my father had died. While I was near my mother’s hospital bed I said a prayer to Jehovah asking him to send some brothers or sisters to help me cope with the situation because I was by myself. At this time I was inactive for about 8 years, not sure if Jehovah would hear my prayer. No more than 20 minutes later a group of my mom’s close friends, which were sisters from the Babylon congregation on Long Island, New York, walked in the door. I gave way to tears seeing that Jehovah still heard my prayer and seeing that Jehovah knew what I was going to ask for even before…

An appeal against a ban of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia has been set by the country’s Supreme Court for July 17. The liquidation of the Christian denomination’s 395 local religious chapters in the country was put in place by Russia’s justice ministry in March and upheld by the country’s Supreme Court on April 20. After receiving the court’s written decision, the group launched an appeal a month later. The Supreme Court accepted the justice ministry’s verdict that Jehovah’s Witnesses violated Russia’s anti-extremism law, putting it into the same category as organizations like the Islamic State group (ISIS). Among the arguments used in the court hearing were that Jeho…

Russia’s Supreme Court to Hear Appeal by Jehovah’s Witnesses on July 17, 2017 Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia filed an appeal against the Supreme Court ruling that effectively banned their worship.

A three-judge panel of the Appellate Chamber of the Supreme Court will hear the appeal on July 17, 2017. The appeal requests a full reversal of the ruling. It emphasizes that the ruling is not based on factual evidence and that Jehovah’s Witnesses are not guilty of extremist activity in any way. The appeal also highlights t…

Then there will be great tribulation.—Matt. 24:21. How will the great tribulation begin? The book of Revelation answers by describing the destruction of “Babylon the Great.” (Rev. 17:5-7) How appropriate that all false religion is likened to a prostitute! The clergy have prostituted themselves with the leaders of this wicked world. Instead of loyally supporting Jesus and his Kingdom, they have given their support to human rulers and have compromised godly principles just to gain political influence. They stand in stark contrast with the clean, virginlike anointed ones of God. (2 Cor. 11:2; Jas. 1:27; Rev. 14:4) But who will destroy the harlotlike organization? Jehova…

“You men are those leaving Jehovah, those forgetting my holy mountain, those setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck and those filling up mixed wine for the god of Destiny.” (Isaiah 65:11) ♠️♣️♥️♦️?♦️♥️♣️♠️ Does the Bible Condemn Gambling? ??? The Lure of Luck Since gambling involves betting on uncertainties, belief in luck—a mysterious force that supposedly controls random events—plays a large role, especially when money is wagered. For example, auspicious numbers are chosen for lottery tickets; the uttering of certain words is forbidden among superstitious mah-jongg players; and a puff of air is blown over dice before they are thrown. …

Why should you not miss a convention? ??????? Joy is a recurring experience among conventioners. A report on a large convention in 1946 noted: “It was a thrilling sight to observe the many thousands of witnesses comfortably accommodated, and even more joyous to listen as a large orchestra joined with the voices of the multitudes to make the stands ring with gladsome Kingdom songs of praise to Jehovah.” The report added: “The Volunteer Service Department registered workers from among the delegates to man all [the] departments, purely out of the joy of serving their fellow witnesses.” Have you too felt such excitement at district conventions or international conve…

Turn Your Eyes Away From Worthless Things! ??? Make my eyes pass on from seeing what is worthless. — Ps. 119:37. ??? How precious our sight is! Through it, we perceive beauty, appreciate the wonders of creation, and receive evidence of God’s existence and glory. (Ps. 8:3, 4; 19:1, 2; 104:24; Rom. 1: 20) And as a highly important channel of communication to the mind, sight plays a major role in our acquiring knowledge of Jehovah and building faith in him. (Josh. 1:8; Ps. 1:2, 3) ??? What we look at, however, can also be to our detriment. The link between our sight and our mind is so strong that what we see with our eyes can initiate or intens…
