If someone asked you this question at the door this morning how would you answer? ---------------------------------------------------- Jehovah’s Witnesses treat Father’s Day as any other, and will love their Fathers just as much that day as any other day. Jehovah’s Witnesses base all of their beliefs, their standards for conduct, and organizational procedures on the Bible. Yes, the Bible does command children to honor, obey and respect their parents. (Eph. 6:1, 2) But nowhere does it advocate the commemoration of a special “Father’s Day”.True Christians follow Jesus Christ as their Exemplar and realize that to Jesus, every day was Father’s Day. He did …

FEED YOUR CHILDREN ??????????? "In a good pasture I will feed them."—Ezek. 34:14. Guide your children to serve Jehovah. A good shepherd knows that any one of his sheep could stray from the flock. Perhaps it is attracted by grass a short distance away and then to some a bit farther away, thus separating itself from the flock. In a similar manner, a child could drift away gradually on a spiritually dangerous path, being tempted by harmful association or degrading entertainment. (Prov. 13:20) How can you help to prevent such a situation from developing? ????????? When teaching your children, act quickly if you recognize potential weak spots. W…

WHAT TYPE OF WISDOM DO YOU WANT? WISDOM FROM MEN OR FROM GOD? HE MADE EVERYTHING AND TELLS US THE BEGINNING AND THE END...IT IS BEYOND THE POWER OF MAN TO DO ANY OF THIS!

What Is Kindness? ??? Kindness is displayed by taking an active interest in the welfare of others. It is shown by helpful acts and considerate words. ??? To be kind means to do good rather than to do anything harmful. A kind person is friendly, gentle, sympathetic, and gracious. He has a generous, considerate attitude toward others. ??? The apostle Paul admonished Christians: “Clothe yourselves with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, lowliness of mind, mildness, and long-suffering.” (Colossians 3:12) Kindness, then, is part of every true Christian’s figurative attire. ??? Jehovah God has taken the lead in showing kindn…

"At once abandoning the nets, they followed him." (Matt. 4:20). ??? What helped Peter, Andrew, James, and John take up the full-time ministry? Was it an emotional, spur-of-the-moment decision? Hardly! Over the previous months, these men listened to Jesus, saw him perform miracles, observed his zeal for righteousness, and witnessed the amazing response to his preaching. As a result, their faith in Jehovah and their trust in him became stronger! (Matt. 4:18-22) ??? How can we imitate Jesus in helping our Bible students to build their trust in Jehovah? (Prov. 3:5, 6) ?♀️??♀️ When teaching, we can highlight God’s promise to bless us abundantl…

"We pronounce happy those who have endured."—Jas. 5:11 ??????? If we endure opposition and persecution with the right attitude, it can build endurance in us. This will help us to weather future sufferings. We read: “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.” (James 1:2, 3) ??????? Similarly, Romans 5:3-5 informs us: “Let us exult while in tribulations, since we know that tribulation produces endurance; endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope, and the hope does not lead to disappointment.” So the more we now …

BOTH WATERS IMPORTEND TO SURVIVE, 'drinking water and spiritual water' ❤
Last reply by Queen Esther, -
*Iguazu Falls*... One part of Jehovah's big, stunning & wonderful Nature power ❤ Iguazu Falls is located at the junction of three nations: Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. These “Great Waters,” as named by the indigenous Guarani people, are made up of 275 waterfalls that span nearly 2 miles. Sorry, Niagara! Any Iguazu Falls tour will provide you with a sense of nature’s power and wonder. You can follow a boardwalk trail and take in the majestic, roaring falls from a safe vantage point…or, if you feel daring, a platform above the falls. Look down, but hang on to the railing—that’s a lot of water pouring beneath you. Don’t mind getting wet? Take a speedboat…

12 And I will meditate on all your activity And ponder over your dealings." ??????? Meditate on Jehovah’s Enduring Love “I will meditate on all your activity.”—PS. 77:12. ??????? Humans were created with the need to love and be loved. It is easy to become discouraged if this need is not satisfied because of unexpected events or disappointments, loss of health, financial setbacks, or a lack of success in the ministry. If we begin to feel that Jehovah no longer loves us, we do well to remember that we are precious to him and that he is there, “grasping [our] right hand” and helping us. He will never forget us if we are faithful to him.—Isa. 41:13; …

"It is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous . . . through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus."—Rom. 3:24. ????? By Undeserved Kindness You Were Set Free “Sin must not be master over you, seeing that you are . . . under undeserved kindness.”—ROM. 6:14. Jesus included in the model prayer the request to God: “Forgive us our sins.” (Luke 11:2-4) Hence, we have no reason to dwell on mistakes that God has forgiven. Still, we can benefit from thinking about how he could—and did—forgive us. “All have sinned . . . , and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by…

Jehovah’s Witnesses are likely best known for coming to your door evangelizing, yet that same group has been deemed an extremist group by the Russian Supreme Court, which has outlawed the religion and made it possible to seize their property. Why all the fuss? The Conversation looks at the history of the movement that started near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the late 19th century and since spread throughout the world. One major difference with other branches of Christianity is the way they view Jesus. Jehovah’s Witnesses deny the Trinity. For most Christians, God is a union of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Instead, Jehovah’s Witnesses bel…

(Isaiah 35:5) "At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened" . Paradise—For You? ????? You have reason to believe the Bible’s promises about that Paradise. For example, you have confidence in Jesus’ words to the impaled evildoer: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) ????? You trust the promise: “There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.” You also trust the promise that God will wipe out our tears; death will be no more; grief, outcry, and pain will end. This means that an earthly paradise will exist again!—2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:4. https://wol.…
