Did Jesus Want to Debate with Satan? Would we Debate with Satan? LONG BUT VERY GOOD! ????? Many Groups on Facebook have Apostates and Non Christian Beliefs! - Can You Allow Yourself to "get in among them"? No, see why NOT! If you don't know if your group is good or not, contact me? I can tell you! Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” 11 Then the Devil left him, and, look! angels came and began to minister to him." Matthew 4: 10.11 (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) . . .Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteo…

If man is a speck of dust, can he know the stars, their names and where they come from? ?⭐️? Can he draw closer to a all-wise loving Creator to "know" Him? ?⭐️? Does he feel so "advanced" it's beyond his intelligence? ?⭐️? Psalms 147:4-6 4 "He counts the number of the stars; He calls all of them by name. 5 Our Lord is great and is mighty in power; His understanding is beyond measure. 6 Jehovah raises up the meek." ?⭐️?

Sect accused of hypocrisy over association with organisation it has demonised. Stephen Bates, religious affairs correspondent Oct 8, 2001 The Guardian "The United Nations is being asked to investigate why it has granted associate status to the Jehovah's Witnesses, the fundamentalist US-based Christian sect, which regards it as the scarlet beast predicted in the Book of Revelation. Disaffected members of the 6m-strong group, which has 130,000 followers in the UK, have accused the Witnesses' elderly governing body of hypocrisy in secretly accepting links with an organisation that they continue to denounce in apocalyptic terms. The UN itself admitted yesterday that i…

Bad associations spoil useful habits.—1 Cor. 15:33. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/21 To avoid spoiling our useful habits, we must not have as close associates those who practice bad things. This applies not only to associating with unbelieving wrongdoers but also to associating with those who claim to worship Jehovah but who deliberately violate his laws. If such professing Christians engage in serious wrongdoing and do not repent, we do not continue to associate with them. (Rom. 16:17, 18) If we were to associate with those who do not obey God’s laws, we might have the tendency to do what they do in order to be accepted by them. For example, if we…

Ghanaian Man Chases Jehovah’s Witnesses Out of His House By Stripping Unclad | Video

An African man living abroad has avoided being preached to by female Jehovah Witness members using the weirdest possible means. Jehovah Witness preachers overtime have become an excruciating pain in the neck of some people as they walk indiscriminately from house to house preaching their own version of the Christian religion. An unnamed Ghanaian man living abroad in a bid to chase away some female Jehovah Witnesses who visited his house to preach to him exposed his manhood to tease them. The shocked female preachers swiftly turned back as they suspected an imbalance in his mental status. Jehovah’s Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preachi…

MOSCOW, May 17 - RIA Novosti. The decision of the authorities to ban the activities of the center of the Jehovah's Witnesses organization, recognized as extremist in Russia, will lead to a sharp reduction in the number of its followers and protect their civil rights. This opinion was expressed on Wednesday at a meeting in the State Duma by a well-known Russian sectologist, the president of the Russian Association of Centers for the Study of Religions and Sects (RACIRS), Alexander Dvorkin. On April 20, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized as extremist the activity of the Jehovah's Witnesses' Administrative Center in Russia, the main organization of Jehovah's Witness…

LATEST NEWS FROM RUSSIA...... The persecution against our own begins to fester. All identified Jehovah's Witnesses have frozen their checking accounts for the banks. The ruling seems to have emboldened the resentful and fearing witnesses, a religious minority who have suffered more than most in Russia from President Vladimir Putin, where the Russian Orthodox Church has the support of the state. Says the spokesman for the Witnesses based at their world headquarters in New York. "But now the atmosphere is worse than ever." "In a way the situation in Kazakhstan has deteriorated even faster," said Felix Corley, a Norwegian-based religious rights activist who edited…

Members of Jehovah's Witnesses react in a court room after judge's decision in Moscow, Russia, on Thursday, April 20, 2017. Russia's Supreme Court has banned the Jehovah's Witnesses from operating in the country, accepting a request from the justice ministry that the religious organisation be considered an extremist group, ordering closure of the group's Russia headquarters and its 395 local chapters, as well as the seizure of its property. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev) Since the Russian Supreme Court labeled Jehovah's Witnesses an "extremist" group, vandals have targeted followers and their banks accounts have been frozen. Stones were thrown at a St. Petersburg assembl…

These are the 8 designated party conventions for 2017. They are for those who know they are special and get to go expenses paid and for those who are willing pay dearly to feel special. They are guaranteed to be blessed with a visit from a GB member. Some will be featured on JWTV. To emphasize the exclusivity, only certain countries are invited to each convention. The countries that get invited usually only get one choice. For example the Japanese can only go to Indonesia. But some get two choices, like Russians, who can choose Indonesia or Kazakhstan. Croatians can drive to Vienna or Milan. But Americans got invited to all 8 parties. Are you "special" enough to …

LIMA, Peru – Not less than 530 homes and 6 Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses have been damaged due to severe flood which has ravaged Peru in the last few days. Reports indicate that in the town of Huarmey, located 288 kilometers (approximately 179 mi) from Lima, floodwaters have stranded many Witnesses on the roofs of their homes. So far, the Peru branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses has set up eight disaster relief committees to care for the Witnesses in the affected areas, including the 12 regions where the government has declared a state of emergency. The relief committees have already supplied 22 tons of food and over 22,000 liters (6,000 gal…

Keep in expectation.—Hab. 2:3. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/20 The prophet Habakkuk was commissioned to foretell the destruction of Jerusalem. By the time he arrived on the scene, warnings of that city’s desolation had already been sounded for years. Conditions had reached the point where ‘the wicked surrounded the righteous and justice was perverted.’ So it is not surprising that Habakkuk asked: “How long, O Jehovah, must I cry for help?” Jehovah assured his faithful prophet that the foretold destruction would “not be late.” (Hab. 1:1-4) Suppose Habakkuk had become discouraged and thought: ‘I have been hearing about Jerusalem’s destruction for ye…

Jehovah is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Jehovah is on my side as my helper.—Ps. 118:6, 7. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/19 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; 49:15) Brigitte, who raised t…

You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth. This was released when I was a teenage boy, and I fondly remember the picture on page 93. The woman was so beautiful that I could clearly understand the temptation that the angels must have felt whilst looking down upon the earth. What I did not know at the time was that this woman was a real person, Pascale Petit, who appeared in Playboy November 1963 and some raunchy movies, such as the European sex comedy Frau Wirtin hat auch einen Grafen. The inclusion of this picture in the Live Forever book was a potential copyright infringement, as the image of Pascale Petit was taken directly from the cover of the 13th August 1961 German …

You must love . . . your neighbor as yourself.—Luke 10:27. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/18 If you are ever in doubt as to how you ought to behave in any given situation, it would be wise to ask yourself, ‘What would Jesus have done?’ The nation in which Jesus lived was made up of people from various regions—Judea, Galilee, Samaria, and others. Bible accounts reveal that there were tensions between people of these different areas. (John 4:9) Tensions also existed between Pharisees and Sadducees (Acts 23:6-9), between the people and the tax collectors (Matt. 9:11), and between those who had received a Rabbinic education and those who had not.

SANTA ANA A 42-year-old man was sentenced on Friday to 60 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting three girls he met through his church. A jury last month convicted Jose Luis Aguilera of Santa Ana of four felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14. At the time of the crimes, prosecutors said, Aguilera was a member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Santa Ana, where he befriended the victims’ families.
