Russian scholar supports Jehovah's Witnesses MAKSIM SHEVCHENKO: "THIS LAWSUIT VIOLATES FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE" Video by Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, 30 March 2017 Maksim Leonardovich Shevchenko is the president of the Center for Strategic Studies of Religion and Politics in the Modern World and a member of the Council for Development of Civil society and Human Rights under the president of the Russian federation.

Before the faith arrived, we were being guarded under law. . . . So the Law became our guardian leading to Christ.—Gal. 3:23, 24. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/31 The Mosaic Law acted as a protective wall against the degraded moral and religious acts of other nations. When Israel listened to God, the nation received his blessing. When they ignored him, they suffered dire consequences. (Deut. 28:1, 2, 15) Directions were needed for another reason. The Law pointed to an important development as to Jehovah’s will. That was the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The Law made it clear as never before that the Israelites were imperfect. It also impresse…

DID you ever walk along a sandy beach or across a snowy field and find yourself fascinated by the pattern of footsteps left by someone who walked there before you? Did you perhaps even pick out a set of footsteps and try to follow them, matching your own steps with them as exactly as possible? If so, you discovered that it was not easy. In fact, following closely in the footsteps of another—either literally or figuratively—is a real challenge. And yet, by calling ourselves Christians, we have indicated our desire to do just that, to follow closely in the footsteps of Christ. Are you willing to put forth the effort that is necessary to meet this challenge …

Aren’t you glad we know the creator? On a clear night when the worlds circumstances are perfect to look up and see this. ?????? Stars are cosmic energy engines that produce heat, light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and other forms of radiation. They are composed largely of gas and plasma, a superheated state of matter composed of subatomic particles. Though the most familiar star, our own sun, stands alone, about three of every four stars exist as part of a binary system containing two mutually orbiting stars. Well the number of stars would be staggering. Our universe likely contains more than 100 billion galaxies, and each of those galaxies may hav…

What are you Complaining about Now? - A Complaining Spirit is Condemned in the Bible see why? ~ Bad Effects on Oneself and Others There is no doubt that a chronic complaining spirit is damaging, and it is condemned in the Bible. A complainer will bring physical and spiritual damage to himself and vexation to those who are the subject of his complaints. Referring to a complaining wife, the Bible proverb says: “A leaking roof that drives one away in the day of a steady rain and a contentious wife are comparable.” (Proverbs 27:15) Complaining directed against Jehovah or one of his provisions is particularly culpable. When the nation of Israel complained about …

"We are God’s fellow workers."—1 Cor. 3:9. Cherish Your Privilege of Working With Jehovah! Jehovah’s faithful servants have always been eager to follow his direction. (Read Hebrews 13:7, 17.) We may not understand all the reasons why we receive a new assignment or new direction. But we cooperate with Jehovah because we know that the changes come from him and that they will have good results. Because we are imperfect, we often compare ourselves with others. But God’s Word tells us to focus on what we personally are able to do. (Read Galatians 6:4.) Not all of us can be elders, pioneers, missionaries, or Bethelites. While these are fine privileges…

The newly married actress of 51 years has joined the Jehovah Witness. This it was gathered is her husband Anthony Boyd’s religion and thus since she is married to him she has converted to his faith. The couple shared photos of them in their meeting. The veteran thespian shared her photo and that of her husband on her Facebook after meeting and captioned it: “An Instructive Meeting Sunday at the King Source: https://www.naij.com/888465-renowned-actress-clarion-chukwurah-converts-new-religion-photos.html?f&post…

Innocent man freed after spending 20 years behind bars for attempted murder in a Compton shooting

On his drive to Calipatria State Prison, Ricardo Perez thought of the couple he’d met a few months earlier and their desperate plea: Can you help us get our innocent relative out of prison? It was spring 2012. Perez was fresh out of Loyola Law School and yearning for a meaningful case, so he agreed to look into their relative’s conviction. After reading the trial transcript, he went to meet Marco Contreras. “Are you innocent?” he asked him. “If you're not, I won’t judge you and I won’t tell your family. But if I’m going to spend the next several years on this, I need to know for sure.” Contreras looked him dead in the eye, Perez recalled, and said, “I’m in…

Student Spotlight: Kassandra Rodriguez
by Guest Nicole- 0 replies
- 984 views
At first glance, Kassandra Rodriguez may seem like your average student. She goes to a dental course in the mornings at NWACC, and then, later on, assists Heritage for periods 4-7. She’s been in Educational Talent Search since middle school. As for her plans after graduation, Kassandra wants to become a dental hygienist. But for Kassandra, these activities and the desire to work in dentistry are not what motivate her. For her, it is her religion that helps her to venture through the chaos of life. In 2011 a knock came to her door: a pair of Jehovah’s Witnesses came to preach to her family. Soon after, her father started studying with a brother from the South Spa…

LUTZ — In a way, credit for the opening of one of the Tampa area's newest Cuban restaurants belongs to Fidel Castro. If not for the late Cuban president, Jose "Pepe" Diaz said, he might never have become a chef or opened La Yuma Cuban Cuisine in Lutz. "He's being ironic," said his daughter and restaurant co-owner Thania Clevenger. Diaz, 76, learned his trade as a prison cook in Cuba after he was jailed for speaking out against communism. Calling what he did "cooking" may be a stretch, though. The fare was usually bland Russian meat from a can and all Diaz had for seasoning was paprika, which he overused. "They called me Paprika Pepe," Diaz sa…

The photo shows how some Jehovah’s Witnesses from central Europe lined up to purchase stamps for letters they want to send to Russia, When one Jehovah’s Witness came into the DHL courier service, he greeted them, they immediately asked from afar: “To Putin?” They said that they cancel other orders for Monday, Tuesday, because they already have all the couriers busy with your letters. #StopJWBan Via

March 29, 2017 11:20 PM Rochester-area Jehovah’s Witnesses tried to mobilize Wednesday night in the face of persecution halfway around the world. In a stark crackdown, Russia’s justice ministry has asked the country’s Supreme Court to declare the Jehovah’s Witnesses an extremist group. "It's rather ironic because we’re the farthest from extreme," exclaimed Rochester Elder Daniel Naples. "We are family oriented, focused on law-abiding, peaceful, non-political. We abhor wickedness crime and warfare." Naples said the situation might seem alien in a country like the United States with its tradition of religious freedom but warned th…
