Can You Really “Draw Close to God”? What Qualities Can We Imitate And Why? ??? Jehovah invites us to draw near to him. He is ready and willing to receive us into his favor as friends. At the same time, he promises that if we take steps to draw close to him, he will take corresponding action. He will draw close to us. Thus we may enter into something truly precious—“intimacy with Jehovah.”* (Psalm 25:14) “Intimacy” conveys the idea of confidential talk with a special friend. ??? Jehovah’s four cardinal attributes: power, justice, wisdom, and love. Each section opens with an overview of the quality. ??? To come into such a relationship, we mus…

"The Law has become our tutor leading to Christ." (Gal. 3:24) ??? The Law that God gave to the Israelites was perfect. It fully achieved the purposes for which God established it—to protect his people and to make them aware of his high standards. (Romans 7:7-14) The Law was a good tutor. For some who lived under its protection, however, its requirements might have seemed burdensome. Hence, Paul could write that when God’s appointed time arrived, “Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law.” The Law was a “curse” only in the sense that it subjected imperfect Jews to standards they could not completely measure up to. It called for the scrupulous…

Couple copes with hatred toward Jehovah's Witnesses ReligioPolis, 10 May 2017 Belatedly by several days it was reported that in the village of Lutsino of the Odintsov district of Moscow province a still unidentified perpetrator set fire to two houses in which a family of Jehovah's Witnesses lived. The news agency of the religious organization, which has recently been declared by the Russian Supreme Court to be "extremist," reported this event quite laconically: "On 30 April 2017 another act of vandalism was committed with respect to adherents of the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses.

May 15, 2017 TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS Re: Regular Pioneers UK version new jw term: "Infirm Regular Pioneer" PIONEER: from Old French peonier foot soldier, from peon foot soldier. - Merriam Webster Online Dictionary. Helping people in need is one of the cornerstones and most honorable pursuits in Christianity. It takes a spiritual person to voluntarily look after others who are incapable of taking care of themselves. But in the Watchtower world it isn't permitted if you want to remain a pioneer - only time spent preaching the Watchtower message counts, and is the main marker of spirituality. Looking at this from a distance now, it i…

"All those who sinned under law will be judged by law."

"The law of that spirit which gives life . . . has set you free." (Rom. 8:2) ??? Paul asked who would rescue him from this struggle, and then he said: “Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24, 25) Then, Paul spoke to anointed Christians, the ones who are “in union with Christ Jesus.” ??? Jehovah adopts them as sons through his holy spirit. He makes them “joint heirs with Christ.” (Romans 8:14-17) God’s holy spirit and the faith they have in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus help them to win the fight that Paul talked about. So God no longer condemns them for their imperfection. They are set free “from the law of sin and of death.” …

Comfort for the Brokenhearted ?❤️? This compassionate God promises: “I reside . . . with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed.” (Isaiah 57:15) ?❤️? “Jehovah is near.” One reference work says that this phrase is “an expressive way of saying that the Lord is attentive and watchful, always ready to help and to save his people.” It is reassuring to know that Jehovah watches over his people. He sees what they are going through in these “critical times,” and he knows their innermost feelings. (2 Timothy 3:1; Acts 17:27) ?❤️? “Those that are broken at heart.” In…

EARTHQUAKES ????? Jesus prophesied: “There will be great earthquakes.” (Luke 21:11) Many powerful earthquakes are now expected every year. Since the year 1900, over two million people have died because of earthquakes. And although technology has helped to detect earthquakes earlier than before, many people still die. ? The Bible foretold that during the last days, the world would be full of pain and suffering. But the Bible also says that good things will happen. ? Do you believe that we are living in the last days? Many Bible prophecies about the last days are coming true. Soon Jehovah will decide to stop the preaching of the good news and “the end” will…

Does God Really Care About Me? Learn How He Comforts Us ? ???? God is described in the Bible as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) ???? God, whose name is Jehovah, knows we need comfort. The Bible uses “comfort” in various forms over a hundred times, assuring us that God not only understands what we face but also desires to comfort us. ???? This knowledge convinces us that even when others do not seem to notice, understand, or care about our plight, Jehovah God does. ???? The fact that Jehovah cares for people as individuals is clearly seen from the Scriptures. “The eyes of Jehovah are i…

I will glorify the place for my feet.—Isa. 60:13. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/17 What a pleasure it is to offer practical, appealing, and attractive literature in the ministry! And when we use the latest technology to spread the truth, such as by means of the jw.org website, we reflect Jehovah’s interest in providing people everywhere with the guidance most of them lack but so desperately need. Not to be overlooked is the wisdom behind the adjustment that allowed us to have a Family Worship evening or more time for personal study. We also appreciate advances made in assembly and convention programs. We often say that they get better every year! A…

Against the backdrop of the trial against Jehovah's Witnesses, some children, brought up in accordance with biblical morality, began to experience unprecedented pressure from teachers and police officers. March 28, 2017 in Ufa (Bashkortostan), the district police A. Rozhkin came to the house of a large family and, finding the eldest son, asked for a written explanation regarding their religion. When the mother and daughters came, the policeman demanded an explanation why the woman "involves minors in extremist activities" (which is not true). The woman refused to give explanations, and the eldest daughter began to write down the words of the policeman on the cell pho…

Plymouth / Devon UK. The town's coat of arms over the portal of the town hall of Plymouth is to this day the only city in the world, whose town crest contains the divine name Jehovah. The inscription of the coat of arms is: TURRIS FORTISSIMA EST NOMEN JEHOVA These are the words from the Bible Book of Proverbs chapter 18 verse 10a: "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower" The selection of this verse as a city motto fell in the time of the English Civil War 1642 to 1646 Plymouth was conquering by the royal troops for two years. When the city was on the brink of conquest, it was a natural wonder that helped the defenders. An unprecedented flood caused the water level in a shi…
