Be Compelled by God’s “Indescribable Free Gift” “Thanks be to God for his indescribable free gift.”—2 COR. 9:15. Jehovah has given us through Christ is far greater than the gift described in this example. (1 Pet. 3:18) Consider why. Because of inherited sin, we are all facing the death penalty. (Rom. 5:12) Lovingly, Jehovah arranged for Jesus to come to the earth and “taste death for everyone.” (Heb. 2:9) Not only did Jehovah save our present life but he laid the basis for wiping out the cause of death forever. (Isa. 25:7, 8; 1 Cor. 15:22, 26) All who exercise faith in Jesus will receive everlasting life in peace and happiness as earthly subjec…

Jehovah Congregates His Joyful People! “Congregate the people, the men and the women and the little ones and your alien resident.”—DEUT. 31:12. What efforts did many ancient Israelites have to make to attend the festivals in Jerusalem? Why should you not miss a convention? The assembly at the base of Mount Sinai was the first large gathering of God’s people for spiritual instruction on record. It truly was a landmark event in the history of pure worship. On that thrilling occasion, which participants no doubt never forgot, Jehovah gave the Israelites a demonstration of his power when he gave them his Law. (Ex. 19:2-9, 16-19; read Exodus 20:18; D…

Be Loyal to Jesus only do not put your trust in man to whom no salvation belongs. It's interesting that they are called the "Faithful slave" and the rest are called "Publishers." Isn't it the other way around when you think about it?

Suspicion that orders from above are behind trial of Jehovah's Witnesses KURSK JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ASK THAT THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF CONFESSION BE RESPECTED jw-ru.blogspot.com, 18 April 2017 Personnel of monitoring agencies, law enforcement agencies, and power structures in several regions of Russia are displaying heightened interest in Jehovah's Witnesses. In several regions of Russia, not entirely lawful means of harassment are being employed against peaceful believers. The well-known rights advocate in Orel, Dmitry Kraiukhin, suggests that the religious organization was "closed" not so much for "extremism" as…

“Jehovah protected his courageous prophet” 16 "Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and the prophets: “This man does not deserve the death penalty, for he spoke to us in the name of Jehovah our God.” (Jeremiah 26:16) "But A·hiʹkam the son of Shaʹphan supported Jeremiah, so that he was not handed over to the people to be put to death."

Do Unicorns Actually Eat Rainbows And Poop Butterflies ? The Russian's major newspaper is "PRAVDA", which means in English "Truth", and most everything reported about the leadership and communist organizations that run the country is GOOD NEWS! It is "FAKE NEWS", of course, as what is NOT stated is as important as what IS stated. The Russian News agency TASS, as well as The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society BOTH have heavily agendized news reporting ... that is to say ... they ONLY report news that puts them in a good light. Neither will admit they "screwed up", neither ever apologizes for ANYTHING, and that's the way it is April 13, 2017. "Reality 1…

7 "You have fooled me, O Jehovah, and I was fooled. You used your strength against me, and you prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; Everyone ridicules me." 8 "For whenever I speak, I must cry out and proclaim, “Violence and destruction!” For me the word of Jehovah has been the cause of insults and jeering all day long." 9 "So I said: “I am not going to make mention of him, And I will speak no more in his name.” But in my heart it became like a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was tired of holding it in; I could no longer endure it."

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, is a God for all eternity. He never tires out or grows weary. His understanding is unsearchable.." (Isaiah 40:28) Isaiah records Jehovah’s words describing the feelings of the exiles in Babylon, hundreds of miles from their homeland. Some think that their “way”—the hard course of their life—is unseen or unknown by their God. They think that Jehovah is indifferent to the injustices they suffer. They are reminded of things that they should know, if not from personal experience, then at least from information that has been handed down. Jehovah is able and willing to…

(Psalm 73:28) "But as for me, the drawing near to God is good for me. In the Sovereign Lord Jehovah I have placed my refuge, To declare all your works." We can cultivate love for God by reading his Word daily and meditating on what it reveals about him. In heartfelt prayer, we can praise Jehovah and thank him for his goodness to us. (Philippians 4:6-7) Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let YOUR petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus." We can sing to Jehovah and benefit from regular associati…

Greetings from Guatemala. I had an awesome experience on a bus. I got permission from the bus driver to show “The Return of the Prodigal Son” (El regreso del hijo prodigo) .. in Spanish, of course. You see, most long distance buses are equipped with flat-screen TV’s, and many times inappropriate movies are shown during the bus ride. I remembered a similar experience from Ecuador in the 2010 yearbook, and I decided to put it into practice here in Guatemala. On this particular bus ride, I observed all the passengers readily watching the video. One lady asked me if it was a Mormon video. I got a chance to witness to her. If anyone would like to try th…

From time to time I’ve good-naturedly poked fun at the Watch Tower Society members who used to visit with some frequency. I don’t belittle anyone’s belief system, however. Believers of any faith are generally sincere and certainly entitled to follow the dictates of their own consciences and reasoning. Still, as John Cale sings, “nothing frightens me more, than religion at my door.” Some of us prefer to keep our religious preferences private, while musing publicly about the wider world of religious diversity. The Jehovah’s Witnesses have come to mind again because of an article in the New Jersey Star-Ledger my wife clipped out for me. According to Amanda Erickson, writing …

For the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow, reconciliation in Europe and around world has a religious dimension. Solving the Syrian conflict needs the cooperation of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Working for "the baptism of China and North Korea" is indispensable. Jehovah's Witnesses are a problem. Moscow (AsiaNews) – The “Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church can and must take the initiative to make the world safer and lower the level of East-West confrontation. We can all feel part of a common cultural area, which we call Europe,” said the Orthodox patriarch of Moscow Kirill (Gundyayev) during a meeting with Italian Presid…

Do You Believe in the Trinity? See what this man Thomas Emlyn did? Thomas Emlyn—Blasphemer or Advocate of Truth? WHO was Thomas Emlyn, and what moved him to take a stand for truth? What might we learn from him that could help us today? To answer those questions, we need to go back to the late 17th and early 18th centuries in England and Ireland. The Church of England then wielded considerable authority. Various Protestant groups and individuals were at odds with the church. WHO WAS HE? It was into this environment that Thomas Emlyn was born on May 27, 1663, at Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. At the age of 19, he preached his first sermon. Later,…
