WORLD CAMPAIGN ASKING FOR OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PATIENCE.... Numerous world events are developing at high speed. Some notably affect our people, as is persecution in Russia, among other countries. Numerous brothers and sisters wonder if all this is definitive fulfillment of prophecies. Until when, Jehovah? They begin to wonder. The reality is, that our slave always attentive to our spiritual needs, has prepared a number of the Watchtower with August, in which two articles are considered priority way ANIMING TO PATIENCE. We must be willing to have patience waiting for SAFE JEHOVAH'S INTERVENTION. It may surprise us, that the slave is waiting for Jehovah to do THINGS W…

Give Honor to Whom It Is Due “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever.”—REVELATION 5:13. Revelation 5:13 says that “the One sitting on the throne” and “the Lamb” deserve honor. “The One sitting on the throne” refers to Jehovah. In Revelation chapter 4, the creatures in heaven give us one reason why Jehovah, “the One who lives forever and ever,” deserves to be honored. They say: “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”—Revelation 4:9-11. …

What does it take to be a volunteer? These hard-working, selfless, take-nothing-in-return but a smile volunteers are the people we are honoring this month during the National Volunteer Month. At the Life Care Centers of the Willows in Valparaiso, the volunteers work hard to bring a smile to the faces of the residents, becoming not just a friendly helper, but a part of the family. On Wednesday, the staff of the center honored their volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, catered to the facility by Pesto’s Italian Restaurant.

WILL FEAR STOP THE GOOD NEWS OR GOD'S WILL? (John 15:19) Because of peer pressure, some men may hesitate to follow Christ fully. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea kept their interest in Jesus secret because they were afraid of what other Jews might say or do if they found out. (John 3:1, 2; 19:38) This fear was not imaginary. The religious leaders’ hatred for Jesus eventually became so great that anyone who confessed faith in him was expelled from the synagogue. In some places today, if a man takes too much interest in God, the Bible, or religion, he may be harassed by his workmates, friends, or relatives. In other places, it may even be dangerous to tal…

American Convicted of Missionary Work Returning Home: 'I'm Always Going to Leave a Piece of My Heart in Russia'

Fourteen years ago, Don Ossewaarde and his wife Ruth, moved to the Russian city of Oryol. "My area is 250 miles south of Moscow and they're very, very communist," Ossewaarde told CBN News in his first American TV interview last November. "They (people of Oryol) have a very Soviet mentality in that area." They were Baptist missionaries who believed God was calling them to move to Russia. "I'm there to give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to tell them of the good news of salvation," Ossewaarde said. But on Sunday morning, August 14, 2016, their missionary work came to a screeching halt. "I had been expecting it for three weeks before that, and then…

“You, the One who is and who was, the loyal One, are righteous, because you have rendered these decisions.”:—Rev. 16:5. Jehovah cherishes the loyalty of his worshippers, and he repays it with loyalty toward them.—Prov. 2:6-8. God’s punishment of the wicked is in itself an act of loyalty. How? One indication is found in the book of Revelation in the commands that Jehovah issues to seven angels: “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the anger of God into the earth.” When the third angel pours his bowl “into the rivers and the fountains of the waters,” they become blood. Then the angel says to Jehovah: “You, the One who is and who was, the loyal One, are …

“He fell in love with her."—Gen. 24:67. Consider the loving marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. They learned to convey their thoughts and feelings to each other honestly, yet kindly, by cultivating and displaying insight, love, deep respect, and humility. The mission was bound to succeed, for from the very outset the whole matter of choice was placed in the hands of Jehovah. As it turned out, Isaac’s cousin Rebekah proved to be God’s choice, and she, in turn, willingly left her relatives and family to accompany the caravan back to the land of the Negeb where Isaac lived. The account tells of the meeting of the two for the first time and then says: “A…

Comfort From God’s Word The Bible is a strengthening aid for many who suffer from “disquieting thoughts.” (Psalm 94:17-19, 22) Hope for Sufferers IN THE past, people tended to avoid those who suffered from mood disorders. As a result, many who were afflicted became social outcasts. Some encountered job discrimination. Others were shunned by members of their own family. Often, this only aggravated the problem and prevented those who were ailing from getting help. When Medication Is Prescribed Some feel that taking medication is a sign of weakness. But think of it this way: A diabetic must submit to a program of treatment that may include taking insul…

Couldn’t have said it better. Supermodel Coco Rocha does not cave to the pressures of mommyhood. In fact, the mom to 2-year-old daughter Ioni James told Us Weekly that the best parental advice she’s received is to not take any. Watch what she had to say in the video. “One amazing person when I was pregnant had said to me, ‘Can I give you some advice?’ And I was like, ugh, not again, someone asking to give me advice. She said, ‘Don’t take anyone’s advice.’ I thought it was so appropriate,” Rocha told Us at the CYBEX MIOS launch in New York City. “Because here we are trying to do the best that we can do. As long as that kid is loved, is safe, is healthy and fed, what m…

The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses of Namibia might have to start compensating its employees as stipulated by the country’s labour law after it lost a labour case in the High Court yesterday. The congregation dragged the Social Security Commission to court in May 2016 after the Commission refused to deregister the church as a company and employer. “The congregation is trying to evade its obligations under the SSC Act and this court cannot allow employees to be unprotected in the event they fall ill, become pregnant or die,” explained Judge Petrus Unengu. The congregation approached the High Court, stating that its followers are not employees …

FATHER & SON, THEIR LOVE TO US, ALWAYS BRINGING TEARS INTO OUR EYES.... Wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse.—2 Tim. 3:13. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/4/28 History has demonstrated beyond any doubt the truthfulness of what the Bible says: “I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jer. 10:23) No, Jehovah did not create humans with the ability or the right to direct their affairs independent of him. In addition to showing how futile human rule is, God’s temporary permission of wickedness serves another long-range purpose.…

The Ransom—God’s Greatest Gift HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM THE RANSOM We already benefit from God’s greatest gift. Let us see how we benefit now and how we will benefit in the future. Our sins are forgiven. It is hard to do what is right all the time. We make mistakes, and we sometimes say and do the wrong thing. (Colossians 1:13, 14) How can we be forgiven? We should be truly sorry for what we have done wrong and humbly ask Jehovah to forgive us. We can then have the confidence that our sins are forgiven.—1 John 1:8, 9. We can have a good conscience. If our conscience tells us that we have done something wrong, we feel guilty, maybe even hopeless and wor…

Act in Harmony With Jesus’ Loving Prayer “Father, . . . glorify your son, that your son may glorify you.”—JOHN 17:1. Jesus talks late into the night, imparting to his disciples precious knowledge from God. Then he raises his eyes to heaven and prays: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you, according as you have given him authority over all flesh, that, as regards the whole number whom you have given him, he may give them everlasting life. . . . I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before t…

Blood replacement 'a bridge to life' for Upstate man

April 11, 2017 When Jim Steenhuizen wound up in the intensive care unit with massive internal bleeding, doctors ordered a blood transfusion to save him. But even though his condition was serious, the father of two refused. As a Jehovah’s Witness, his religion forbids taking blood transfusions from another person. So doctors tried a new blood replacement product, which was acceptable. And after a few weeks, the 48-year-old Anderson man was back at work delivering the mail on his rural route thanks to Sanguinate. “I had never heard of it. And I was very thankful for it,” he told The Greenville News. “I try not to think about what might have hap…
