Young Ones — Are You Ready to Get Baptized ? ( her Dad ❤ ) Wednesday, July 5. Even a child is known by his actions, whether his behavior is pure and right.—Prov. 20:11. One who is somewhat younger can realize what it means to do what is right and to be dedicated to his Creator. Thus, baptism is an important and appropriate step for a young person who has manifested considerable maturity and has made a dedication to Jehovah. (Prov. 20:7) What does it mean to be mature? Maturity involves more than physical growth. The Bible says that mature people “have their powers of discernment trained to distinguish both right and wrong.” (Heb. 5:14) Thus, mature people …

Jehovah Called Him “My Friend”.... A true friend shows love at all times.—Prov. 17:17. A friendship can be a precious treasure. However, friendship is not like an inanimate thing that we might purchase and then store somewhere to gather dust. Friendship is more like a living thing that needs care and sustenance if it is to thrive and flourish. Abraham cherished and maintained his friendship with Jehovah. How did he do so? Abraham never came to feel that his past record of godly fear and obedience was enough. As he and his large household traveled into Canaan, he continued to let Jehovah guide him in making decisions, from the small to the great. A year bef…

Who is the Master Potter? ⚱️?⚱️?⚱️ Let Jehovah’s Discipline Mold You “With your counsel you will lead me, and afterward you will take me even to glory.”—PS. 73:24. ⚱️?⚱️?⚱️ What if humans stubbornly refuse to be molded by the Great Potter? How, then, does he exercise his divine authority? Think about what happens to the clay if it becomes unsuited for the intended purpose. Why, the potter can make another type of vessel out of it or simply discard it! When the clay is useless, though, generally the potter is at fault. This is never the case with our Potter. (Deut. 32:4) ⚱️?⚱️?⚱️ When a person does not yield to Jehovah’s molding, the fault…

In Tonalá, people belonging to a group who said they were called Rancho Antigobierno, detained, beat and stripped a man they said had come to rob a local house. The facts where he was beaten and stripped of his clothes, the subject was on the Independence Prolongation heading for the road to Colimilla, near Residencial El Prado. The man who looks about 40 years old and who was already very mistreated from the head and his body while he was subjected to blows and loud words shouted desperately that he was a member of the religious congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Once they had achieved the objective of the angry neighbors, they let him go. A few days ago the inhabitant…

‘Blessings That Make Us Rich’ Now ????? ? An accurate knowledge of Bible teachings. The religions of Christendom generally claim to believe the Bible. However, they fail to agree on what it teaches. Even members of the same religious group often differ in their views of what the Scriptures really teach. How different their condition is from that of Jehovah’s servants! Regardless of our national, cultural, or ethnic background, we worship the God we know by name. He is not some mysterious triune god. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 83:18; Mark 12:29) ????? We are also aware that the paramount issue of God’s universal sovereignty is due for settlement and that …

How Does God Feel About Violence? ⛓??⚔️??⛓ At Genesis 6:11, we read that more than 1,500 years after that incident, the earth was “filled with violence.” Again, what was God’s reaction? He commanded righteous Noah to build an ark that would keep him and his family safe while Jehovah brought a deluge on the earth, thus ‘bringing to ruin’ that violent society. (Genesis 6:12-14, 17) But what had caused the populace to be so bent on violence? ⛓??⚔️??⛓ The Influence of Demons The Genesis account reveals that sons of God, disobedient angels, had materialized as humans, married women, and produced offspring. (Genesis 6:1-4) The offspring, known as Nephil…

Wise in Heart”—Yet Humble! ???????? Jehovah’s humility is manifest in yet another beautiful quality—reasonableness. ???????? This quality is sadly lacking among imperfect humans. Not only is Jehovah willing to listen to his intelligent creatures but he is also willing to yield when there is no conflict with righteous principles. As used in the Bible, the word “reasonable” literally means “yielding.” This quality too is a hallmark of divine wisdom. In what sense is the all-wise Jehovah reasonable? For one thing, he is adaptable. Remember, his very name teaches us that Jehovah causes himself to become whatever is needed in order to fulfill his pur…

WHAT FRUITS DO YOU SHOW? ???????? "On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law." (Galatians 5:22,23) ???????? We allow the spirit to act in our lives by cultivating its fruits in all we do. After enumerating the works of the flesh and the fruitage of the spirit, Paul added: “If we are living by spirit, let us go on walking orderly also by spirit. Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his f…

PLEASE RETURN TO JEHOVAH ????????? "CAN WE SPOT THE LOST SHEEP" (Isa. 40:11) 1) She only comes on Sunday, and usually she's late, Is she baptized, or inactive? That's the question for debate! Few brothers try to know her, some criticize and stare. BUT WHO WILL TRY TO DIG DOWN DEEP, AND SEE WHO'S REALLY THERE? A funeral program is in her purse, it's ragged 'round the ears It's yellow, torn and wrinkled ... it's been soaked with many tears. She's looked at it quite often - knows the resurrection hope But she mourns her precious daughter; sometimes she just can't cope. Many people…

After what seems to be just a few short years, the children grow up and leave home. Will they hit the target—that is, will the children continue to love and serve God after they leave home? ???????????????? Numerous factors influence the answer. Much depends upon the skill of the p…

Dissent on the Margins: How Soviet Jehovah's Witnesses Defied Communism and Lived to Preach About It.
by Guest Kurt- 0 replies

Emily B. Baran offers a gripping history of how a small, American-based religious community, the Jehovah's Witnesses, found its way into the Soviet Union after World War II, survived decades of brutal persecution, and emerged as one of the region's fastest growing religions after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. In telling the story of this often misunderstood faith, Baran explores the shifting boundaries of religious dissent, non-conformity, and human rights in the Soviet Union and its successor states. Soviet Jehovah's Witnesses are a fascinating case study of dissent beyond urban, intellectual nonconformists. Witnesses, who were generally rural, poorly educated, an…

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.—Matt. 23:12. It would be wrong to exalt individuals, even if they are anointed brothers of Christ. Speaking about Christian elders, the Bible encourages us to imitate the faith of those who take the lead, but it never commands us to elevate any human as our leader. (Heb. 13:7) True, the Scriptures speak of some as being “considered worthy of double honor.” However, such ones are worthy of honor, not because they are anointed, but because they “preside in a fine way” and “work hard in speaking and teaching.” (1 Tim. 5:17) Therefore, it would be embarrassing for those with a heavenly c…
