In Crimea, the draft commission demanded from the draftee - Jehovah's Witness - a document to renounce his faith and change his faith. On June 9, 2017, the believer, once again visiting the local military commissariat, was offered an alternative civil service (ACS). He agreed, adding that he has been trying to achieve this for a long time. But then he was told that the right to the passage of the ACS would be granted only if he renounced his religious views. In two summons from the recruit they were asked to appear at the military registration and enlistment office "to provide documents on the change of faith." The believer was not told exactly which faith he sh…

A long time ago there were two brothers named Cain & Abel Cyril and Peter. Both of them would enter the footballing arena, but sadly one of them would fall by the wayside. They were both immortalized in song, but for two very different reasons. This is about the younger Knowles who might not be familiar to you… until you hear the song.>>Billy Bragg – God’s Footballer<<click Peter Knowles, along with his his older sibling would take up association football with Peter initially playing in the Wolverhampton Wanderers youth team before being called into the first team action.

Richard Makin's converted van didn't come with a chime so he arrives with "a beep... and me singing out the window". Photo: Joe Perry After graduating from SOAS University with a linguistics degree, he secured an internship in the States, where he pretty much ate his way around San Francisco's vibrant street food scene. On returning to London he bought a van "from the sweetest Italian Jehovah's Witness family" and was selling ice cream a week later, though it took three years to build up his brand. "When I sold my first ice cream it was a mixture of total pride and terror. It's a weird feeling to put a price on something which you've laboured over, literally, fo…

Even quieter was the collection of pamphlet-shunting Jehovah’s Witnesses who have taken up near permanent residence outside the Iceland supermarket in the day. It seems that the Jehovah’s Witnesses like their magazines to do the talking, with two makeshift bookshelves on offer to passers by. source

Eclipse over the Temple of Poseidon...... WOW !! Explanation: What's happened to the Sun? The Moon moved to partly block the Sun for a few minutes last week as a partial solar eclipse became momentarily visible across part of planet Earth. In the above single exposure image, meticulous planning enabled careful photographers to capture the partially eclipsed Sun well posed just above the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. Unexpectedly, clouds covered the top of the Sun, while a flying bird was caught in flight just to the right of the eclipse. At its fullest extent from some locations, the Moon was seen to cover the entire middle of the Sun, …

A Partial Solar Eclipse over Texas.... beautiful ❤ Image Credit & Copyright: Jimmy Westlake (Colorado Mountain College) & Linda Westlake Explanation: It was a typical Texas sunset except that most of the Sun was missing. The location of the missing piece of the Sun was not a mystery -- it was behind the Moon. Sunday night's partial eclipse of the Sun by the Moon turned into one of the best photographed astronomical events in history. Gallery after online gallery is posting just one amazing eclipse image after another.

The king finds pleasure in a servant who acts with insight.—Prov. 14:35. It is an honor to be allowed by Jehovah to contribute to the beauty of our spiritual paradise. We do that by zealously preaching the Kingdom good news and making more disciples. Each time we help a person progress to Christian dedication, we have worked to extend the borders of the spiritual paradise. (Isa. 26:15; 54:2) We can also enhance the beauty of our spiritual paradise by steadily improving our own Christian personality. In that way, we make this paradise more appealing to onlookers. More than even Bible knowledge, it is often our chaste, peaceful conduct that initially draws people to th…

*RAINBOW ANTS*..... These arresting photos of ants come via the Daily Mail. The photographer, Mohammed Babu, set up this experiment after his wife noticed that some ants had turned white from eating spilled milk. By setting up colored drops of sugar water on sheets of paraffin in his garden, Babu was able to create a palette of rainbow ants, their transparent abdomens revealing their latest meal. There’s an interesting tension here. We’re not used to seeing insects as joyful, and usually regard them with disgust. (Though this may be a cultural response here in the West, as many other cultures do not have this response and in fact view insects as a perfectly accepta…

REBEKAH - The Story of a Woman of Faith ?????? Daughter of Bethuel the son of Nahor, and therefore grandniece of Abraham. Her brother’s name was Laban.—Ge 22:20-23. ?????? In 1878 B.C.E., when Abraham sent his household manager, likely Eliezer, in search of a suitable wife for his son Isaac (now 40 years old), he came to “the city of Nahor” in the upper Mesopotamian valley. There at a well, this servant prayed that Jehovah’s choice would be the damsel who not only would give him a drink when asked but also would volunteer to water his ten camels. (Ge 24:1-14) ?????? While he was praying, Rebekah came to the well with a water jar. When he as…

"All the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that . . . we might have hope."—Rom. 15:4 ??????? Knowing the truth about God’s purposes and having a genuine hope for the future will certainly provide great comfort. ??????? Jesus set us a fine example by using the Scriptures to instruct and comfort others. During one of his postresurrection appearances, for instance, he ‘fully opened up the Scriptures’ to two of his disciples. As he spoke to them, their hearts were deeply touched. (Luke 24:32) ??????? In keeping with Jesus’ excellent example, the apostle Paul ‘reasoned from the Scriptures.’ In Beroea, his liste…

Confidently Press On With Complete Trust in God! ???? (Psalm 4:8) . . ."In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For you yourself alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in security." David concludes this psalm with the words: “In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you yourself alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in security.” (Ps. 4:8) ???? When the Israelites kept Jehovah’s Law, they were at peace with him and felt secure. For instance, ‘Judah and Israel dwelt in security’ during Solomon’s reign. (1 Ki. 4:25) Those trusting in God enjoyed peace even when neighboring nations were hostile. Like David, we sleep peacefully because God makes us feel secure. …

Scrolls of judgment and of life - The Scrolls will be Opened! ??? John also observed that “scrolls were opened” and resurrected ones were “judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.” These scrolls apparently contain Jehovah’s laws and instructions setting forth the divine will for humans during that judgment period, and it is their deeds of obedience in faith or of disobedience to what is written in the scrolls that reveal whether they are worthy of having their names written or retained in Jehovah’s “scroll of life.”—Re 20:11-15; ??? What is signified by one’s name being written in God’s “book” or “scroll of life”?Th…

"The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control." Gal. 5:22, 23 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We are wise to take stock of ourselves to be sure that our words and actions give evidence that we are directed by holy spirit and are producing its fruitage. (2 Cor. 13:5a; Gal. 5:25) ❤️❤️❤️❤️ If we see that we need to cultivate some aspects of the fruitage of the spirit, we can cooperate with holy spirit to a greater degree in producing such qualities. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We do this by studying each aspect as it is revealed through the pages of the Bible and discussed in our Christian publications. Thus we can d…

"I bend my knees to the Father, to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name."—Eph. 3:14, 15. ??????? ARE YOU ALLOWING GOD’S SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU? When God created the universe, Jesus was his “master worker.” So Jesus knew all about earth’s magnetism, the force that helps humans when they use a compass. (Proverbs 8:30; John 1:3) The Bible does not say that Jesus ever used magnetism to guide his way when he was on earth. But the Bible does say that God’s holy spirit was a powerful force in Jesus’ life as a human. He wanted to be guided by it. When the spirit directed him to do something, he accepted its direction and did it. (Mark 1:12, 13; Luke…
