Have you ever cried and realized that your prayers were answered? ??????? Those broken at heart Jehovah is near to, he has proven that to me today in this scripture.

Does not this warm your hearts like it did mine? ??????? "They cried out, and Jehovah heard; He rescued them from all their distresses.

When You Feel Like Giving Up on Life ???? EACH year tens of thousands of people in the United States alone attempt to take their own life. The Bible gives a fundamental reason why many are in such a state of despair. It explains that we live in “critical times hard to deal with.” People feel the pressures of life with great intensity. (2 Timothy 3:1; Ecclesiastes 7:7) When a person is overwhelmed by life’s anxieties, he may contemplate suicide as a means to escape pain. What can you do if you have had such thoughts? ???? You Are Not Alone! Even though your situation may seem desperate, remember that you are not alone and that sadly nearly everyone…

July 13, 2017 A large majority of Russians support a recent ban on the Jehova’s Witnesses, a recent poll shows. Roughly eighty percent of those questioned by the independent Levada Center pollster said they supported a Justice Ministry ban on the religious group after it was labeled an extremist sect. Russia’s Supreme Court formally banned the Jehovah's Witnesses in April, forcing 396 registered Jehovah's Witnesses organizations across the country to dissolve. Only 12 percent of respondents polled by Levada were unsupportive of the ban. Meanwhile, about half of the 1600 people questioned admitted they had heard little to no…

Event to draw thousands, generate an estmated $750,000 in spending ROCKFORD — The City Council this week agreed to forgo nearly $50,000 in parking revenue to lure the Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses back to town after an 11-year absence. Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau President and CEO John Groh said his office went “out on a ledge” and months ago promised free parking for convention attendees to help seal the deal. Had the City Council not approved the measure Monday, the RACVB may have had to go back to event organizers, eaten the cost of parking, or gone to corporate partners to ask for help paying it. Groh said the City Council showed …

REFLECTION THE SCENE OF THE WORLD IS CHANGING, 1 CORINTHIAN 7:31 (1 Corinthians 6: 9, 10) What! Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not go astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men that are for contraranatural purposes, nor men that lie down with men, 10 nor thieves, nor people dominated by greed, nor drunkards, nor injuriers, nor those who practice extortion shall inherit the God's Kingdom. A hundred years ago the world was a very different place. The traditional family existed as a father / husband who worked outside the home and a housewife / mother raised the children of the family.

Everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.—Matt. 5:28. Recall what happened in King David’s case. “From the rooftop [David] saw a woman bathing.” (2 Sam. 11:2) He failed to look away and to direct his thoughts elsewhere. That led him to desire a woman who was someone else’s wife and to take steps to commit adultery with her. In order to combat immoral fantasies, we need to ‘make a covenant with our eyes,’ as did faithful Job. (Job 31:1, 7, 9) We must solemnly decide to control our eyes and not allow them to gaze with immoral lust at another person. That would include averting our gaze…

The Real Life Soon! The Dead in Graves Return! Can you just imagine? ????? Essential to man’s happiness. The resurrection of the dead, an undeserved kindness on God’s part, is essential to mankind’s happiness and to the undoing of all the harm, suffering, and oppression that have come upon the human race. These things have befallen man as a result of his imperfection and sickness, the wars he has waged, the murders committed, and the inhumanities practiced by wicked people at the instance of Satan the Devil. We cannot be completely happy if we do not believe in a resurrection. The apostle Paul expressed the feeling in these words: “If in this life only we ha…

How Can I Be No Part of the World? I have to work and provide for my family? ????? In prayer to God, Jesus said of his followers: “I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. I request you, not to take them out of the world, but to watch over them because of the wicked one. They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.” (John 17:14-16) ????? We may be firm and determined to keep separate from the world on large issues, such as neutrality, religious holidays and customs, and immorality. What, though, about smaller things? Could it be that eve…

Ridiculers in “the Last Days.” Know any? - There will be many! - Listen, Obey, Be Blessed! ~ ???♂️??♀️⌛️??♀️??♂️? One of the signs marking “the last days” would be “ridiculers [literally, players in sport (of mocking)] with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires [“own desires for ungodly things”; Jude 17, 18] and saying: ‘Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.’” (2Pe 3:3, 4) ???♂️??♀️⌛️??♀️??♂️?

Let Trials Strengthen You - Keep Strong and Focused! "I am with you" Come with Me? ~ ????⚔️?⚔️???? (Matthew 28:20) "I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." As long as we live in this old system of things, trials of one form or another are inevitable. But instead of becoming downhearted, why not view trials as an opportunity to confirm your love for God and to refine your faith in him and his Word? The disciple James wrote: “Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith works out endurance.” (Jas. 1:2-4) Remember, too, that “Jehovah knows ho…

You may have ANGER at times, do you know that JEHOVAH also has ANGER? - He will bring vengeance on the wicked and those that disobey His Words, see why ~ ??????? (Zephaniah 1:14-18) 14 “The great day of Jehovah is near. It is near, and there is a hurrying [of it] very much. The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter. There a mighty man is letting out a cry. 15 That day is a day of fury, a day of distress and of anguish, a day of storm and of desolation, a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick gloom, 16 a day of horn and of alarm signal, against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers. 17 And I will cause distress to mank…

Dear brothers and sisters! I'm from Ukraine. My family now needs a lot of material help. Having traveled to the congress, we spent all the savings that we had. And now we need to pay a loan with interest. This is $ 2050, we have no such money, and interest is increasing every day. This amount will be enough to fully pay off the debt. Please, if you can, help my family. The congress was wonderful. When I heard a speech about helping refugees, I did not think that in a few days I would be in a similar situation. I am truly a Jehovah's Witness i'm not deceiving you.

Three days of collective Bible study: Jehovah's Witnesses in the wide round of the Frankfurt football arena. Baby carriages on strollers stand in front of the main entrance of the stadium. A young mother crouches on a stone, concentrates on her cell phone. Her daughter sleeps in the baby carriage. Through headphones the young woman follows the sermon in the arena. Thanks to the Bible app on the smartphone, she can also work diligently during the morning sleep of her child. The Jehovah's Witnesses congress attracted some 14,000 visitors yesterday to the Waldstadion in Frankfurt. And for today and tomorrow, speaker Erika Krämer expects similar figures. The visitors hav…
