Consider what sort of people you ought to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion.—2 Pet. 3:11. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/30 “Deeds of godly devotion” include your activities in the congregation, such as your meeting attendance and participation in the ministry. Also included are spiritual activities that others do not see, such as your private prayers and your personal study. A person who has dedicated his life to Jehovah will not consider these deeds to be chores. Rather, he will reflect the attitude of King David, who said: “To do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is deep within me.” (Ps. 40:8) Remember, as a ded…

Where Would I Be? By @jehovah_knows_ Where would I be if I weren’t in the truth? Out on a ledge, or up on some roof, Or under a bridge drinking one hundred proof, And trying to find change in a telephone booth, That’s where I’d be if I weren’t in the truth! Where would I be without the faithful slave, Either in prison, or dead in my grave, Or astray on the road that Satan does pave, Living in some old deep, dark, smelly cave, That’s where I’d be without the faithful slave. Where would I be without Jesus, the son? Falling apart, and coming undone, Telling myself that I’m just having fun, Doing everything bad that is under the sun, T…

Beginning with a comment made to an anointed one: "While there are some glaring doctrinal errors embedded in the faith of Jehovah’s witnesses I do not see any conflict with scripture as to when they hold the Memorial. If as you stated there is no evidence that Jesus left any specified date and time to hold the Memorial then the matter of partaking is left up to the conscience of the individual partaking. As such there is no impropriety associated with continuing the practice of observing on Nissan 14th. In fact it supports scripture and the gospel accounts to do just that.We know from scripture that Jesus was killed on the same day that the other Passover victims wer…

If a man takes a false step before he is aware of it, you who have spiritual qualifications try to readjust such a man in a spirit of mildness.—Gal. 6:1. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/29 Kindness can help you to deal with a conflict of loyalties. For example, you may have definite knowledge that a certain fellow believer is guilty of serious misconduct. You may feel loyal to him, especially if he is a close friend or a relative. But if you were to cover up the wrongdoing, you would be disloyal to God. Of course, your loyalty to Jehovah should come first. Be kind yet firm. Urge your friend or relative to seek the help of the elders. If he or she does…

19 "Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovah.” (Romans 12:19) NWT “Return Evil for Evil to No One” We refrain from returning evil for evil not only because it is the right course but also because it is the loving course. Note how the apostle Paul next considers the motive of love. In the book of Romans, Paul uses the word “love” (a·gaʹpe in Greek) several times when referring to God’s love and that of Christ. (Romans 5:5, 8;8:35, 39) However, in chapter 12, Paul uses a·gaʹpe in a different way—in speaking about love shown to fellow humans. After noting that spir…

It’s happened again: Still another study, this time out of Canada, proving beyond all doubt that blood transfusion is bad medicine. The February, 2017, World Journal of Urology contains the results of a nine-year study of bladder cancer patients who underwent a surgical procedure called radical cystectomy. Of the 2,593 patients, 62% overall received blood transfusions. (In 2000, at the beginning of the study, it was 68%. By 2008 the number had dropped to 54%. So surgeons are slowly getting the message, but not fast enough.) Here are the results of the study: Transfused: Not transfused…

How Does Satan Attack Us? How Can We Fight Back? "Among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through." (2 Cor.4:4) To Resist Satan's Machinations we need to take full advantage of the spiritual provisions. These provisions include; Christian meetings, family worship and "gifts in men." Sadly some, they feel comfortable in Satan's world .

For all my brothers and sisters who still don't know what to write - so in the way.... the time is pressing! Dear Mr Putin, My name is ...... and I have been a Jehovah's Witness for ..... years. Getting to know the Bible was the greatest gift ever made to me. I am deeply concerned about my brothers and sisters ! We, as Jehovah's Witnesses, are not extremist in any way, our actions are based solely on the basis of love and biblical knowledge, and we follow the example of Jesus as Christians. Jesus Christ went to the people with a wonderful good message and also challenged his successors as well. Matthew 24:14. We are a very, very peace-…

19 "They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, and said: ‘Too bad, too bad, the great city, in which all those who had ships at sea became rich from her wealth, because in one hour she has been devastated!’ (Revelation 18:19) NWT Why do “the kings of the earth” grieve over the very entity they themselves have devastated? The reason for their grief is strictly selfish. After the destruction of Babylon the Great, the kings of the earth evidently come to realize how useful she was to them. She provided a religious front for their oppressive deeds. Babylon the Great also helped them in recruiting youths for the battlefields. Moreover, she …

Religious freedom and the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia
by Guest Kurt- 0 replies

Russia (MNN) — The status of religious freedom in Russia continues to balance dangerously on a crumbling fulcrum. The latest in this news involves a group of people who may have recently knocked on your door: The Jehovah’s Witnesses. Russia’s Ministry of Justice has applied to have Jehovah’s Witnesses activity, organization, and headquarters declared that of an extremist group. This would ban further activity and liquidate the organization. The faith group has kept a detailed account of proceedings of the Russian government against them, including an inspection of the headquarters last month. A hearing on the application will take place next week, April 5th. Ope…

Sergei Khudiev WHY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SHOULD NOT BE PROSECUTED by Sergei Khudiev Pravoslavie i Mir, 21 March 2017 News wires have reported that the Ministry of Justice has filed in the Supreme Court for the prohibition in the country of the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, after the discovery during an inspection of violations of anti-extremism legislation. So they are, of course, heretics, but their possible ban should not be rejoiced over. Really, the teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses are a serious heresy, distorting the apostolic proclamation to the point of complete unrecognizability. In their bizarre theological system, Jesus is neither God…

Roger Wicker (MS), Co-Chairman Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04), and Commissioner Rep.

Psalms 2 Why are the nations agitated And the peoples muttering an empty thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And high officials gather together as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one. 3 They say: “Let us tear off their shackles And throw off their ropes!” 4 The One enthroned in the heavens will laugh; Jehovah will scoff at them. 5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger And terrify them in his burning anger, 6 Saying: “I myself have installed my king On Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah; He said to me: “You are my son; Today I have become your father. 8 Ask of me, and I wi…

? JEHOVAH IS MY COMFORTER ? 3 "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort," 4 "who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." (2 Cor.1:3,4) NWT MANY things in life—suffering, disappointment, loneliness—can bring sadness, even despair. At such times you may wonder, ‘Where can I turn for help?’ The words of the apostle Paul found at 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 point to an unfailing source of comfort—Jehovah God. In verse 3, God is called “the Father of tender mercies.” What does that mean? The Greek w…

Soon all enemies of God will face the King ? designated Christ as he brings to nothing all Governments, Power and Authority opposed to God. Do you understand that?— The Bible says that God’s government is going to destroy all earthly governments. Why?— Because they don’t obey the One whom God has made King. And who is that?— Yes, Jesus Christ!. Jehovah God has the right to decide what kind of government should rule, and he has chosen his Son, Jesus, to be King. Soon God’s Ruler, Jesus Christ, will take the lead in destroying all the governments of this world. The Bible, at Revelation chapter 19, verses 11 to 16, describes him as he does so, even as this …

22 "And Noah did according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so." (Genesis 6:22) Preservation Through the Flood. The people did not believe that God would act to destroy a world of wickedness. So it was because Noah possessed strong faith that he, in implicit obedience, did “according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so.” (Ge 6:22) It was because of his unswerving faith in Jehovah that the Christian writer of the book of Hebrews included him in that “so great a cloud of witnesses.” He wrote: “By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of hi…

"Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits." (1 Cor.15:33) Let us now discuss some scriptures that teach us important lessons about our choice of friends. This will help us understand how important it is to study the Bible and to meditate on it so that we can get to know Jehovah well. Psalm 26:4 says: “I have not sat with men of untruth; and with those who hide what they are I do not come in.” At Proverbs 13:20, we read: “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.” What important lessons can we learn from those scriptures?

WHO CARES? DOES GOD CARE? IT IS only natural to call to God for help when we are in dire straits. After all, he “is great and is abundant in power; his understanding is beyond recounting.” (Psalm 147:5) He is in the very best position to help us to cope with our problems. Added to that, the Bible invites us to ‘pour out our heart’ before him. (Psalm 62:8) Why is it, then, that so many have the impression that God does not answer their prayers? Does that mean that he does not care? Rather than being quick to blame God for any seeming inaction, think back to the time when you were a child. When your parents did not give in to your every demand, d…
