JOSEF SCHOEN BORN: OCTOBER 12, 1910 TSIKOV, CZECHOSLOVAKIA Josef was born to German Catholic parents.

Matt. 24 : 19 - 22 . 19 Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20 Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.

*For 50 cents* A brother had moved. After some time he drove from his new residence with the city bus into the city center. After buying a ticket and looking for a seat, he realized that the bus driver had given him 50 cent too much when changing the money. The brother thought to himself: "Shall I return the 50 cents? Actually it would not be right to keep the money, although it is only 50 cents. Who would notice this, because it is such a small amount. In addition, the bus company has so much money, since it does not depend on the 50 cents. Take it as a gift from Jehovah and be quiet. When the brother stepped out of the bus, he waited briefly at the door and gav…

We first can do that in paradise....... Rather than trying to tame wild stallions, fearless Costa Rican fisherman Chito prefers a playful wrestle in the water with his best pal Pocho - a deadly 17ft crocodile. The 52-year-old daredevil draws gasps of amazement from onlookers by wading chest-deep into the water, then whistling for his 980lb buddy - and giving him an affectionate hug. Crazy Chito says: "Poncho is my best friend. This is a very dangerous routine but we have a good relationship. He will look me in the eye and not attack me. It is too dangerous for anyone else to come in the water. It is only ever the two of us." Chito made friends with the croc afte…

Jesus performed powerful works that showed on a small scale how such prophecies will become a global reality. His deat…

Praise Jehovah for His Great Deeds! 11 "Sing praises to Jehovah, who is dwelling in Zion; Make his deeds known among the peoples." (Psalms 9:11) NWT The psalmist David praised God for His great deeds. For example, David sang: “Make melody, you people, to Jehovah, who is dwelling in Zion; tell among the peoples his deeds. Show me favor, O Jehovah; see my affliction by those hating me, O you who are lifting me up from the gates of death, in order that I may declare all your praiseworthy deeds in the gates of the daughter of Zion.” (Psalm 9:11, 13, 14) After giving his son Solomon the architectural plan for the temple, David blessed and praised God, saying:…

Apply Bible Principles Jehovah God gave Christians divine principles so that they can make sound decisions. Learning Bible principles and applying them can be likened to learning a language and using it. Once you have mastered the language, you can often tell when someone makes grammatical mistakes because what he says does not sound quite right. You may not be able to point out in specific grammatical terms exactly what is wrong with the statement, but you know it is wrong. When you learn Bible principles to the point of making them part of yourself, you can usually tell when a certain decision is inappropriate, out of harmony with divine principles. T…

All those for whom I have affection, I reprove and discipline.—Rev. 3:19. Although Jesus’ disciples repeatedly argued about who was the greatest among them, Jesus did not give up on them. He also did not ignore it when they failed to respond to his counsel. Lovingly and mildly, Jesus reproved them at a suitable time and place. (Mark 9:33-37) Show your love for your children by disciplining them. It is sometimes enough to explain why a certain course is right or wrong. At other times, a child may fail to apply what you say. (Prov. 22:15) When that happens, imitate Jesus. At a fitting time and place, discipline y…

Short illustration regarding the "Cowbird" ? ? ? Hello, CM We recently dedicated our remodeled Kingdom Hall here in Los Angeles , and our guest speaker was Bro. Javier Hernandez from Brooklyn Bethel. Bro. Hernandez did a program in English and Spanish, which was outstanding. Then on Sunday he gave our Public Talk and then a service talk entitled "Imitate Their Faith." It highlighted the hard work of the governing body, and why we should imitate their example. Bro. Hernandez is very knowledgeable of the Governing Body, because he serves as Bro. Herd's personal secretary. I have to relate the wonderful illustration he gave of the lazy cowbird. It is so…

Better blood transfusion service needed

Mar 19, 2017 An eight-year-old child has contracted HIV from a blood transfusion. Why aren't heads rolling?Why aren't we being told the whole story behind this tragedy? It is evident that something went wrong. Why aren't we being told what that was or who was responsible? Why isn't there transparency? What is being done to deal with the panic of people who have gotten blood transfusions and who have to get blood for surgeries or blood transfusions now after this shocking news? How on earth can telling a nation that affected families are receiving “counselling” bring any relief? Yes it's important, but we need answers. We want facts.We want the assurance that this wi…

God is love.—1 John 4:16. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/20 Imagine what life would be like if God did not have love for mankind. We merely have to look at the awful history of this world with its human rulerships under its unloving and wrathful god, Satan the Devil. (2 Cor. 4:4; 1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:9, 12) This shows us how horrible the future would be if the universe were to function without the operation of God’s love. When rebelling against Jehovah’s rule, the Devil challenged the rightfulness and righteousness of God’s universal sovereignty. In effect, Satan claimed that his rule would be better than that of the Creator. (Gen. 3:1-5) Though Jeho…

The Jehovah's Witness Church in Australia failed to protect children in its care from sexual predators, a report has found. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse delivered its report into the organisation on Monday. It stated that: "Children are not adequately protected from the risk of child sexual abuse in the Jehovah's Witness organisation and [the commission] does not believe the organisation responds adequately to allegations of child sexual abuse." Survivors of sexual abuse within the church and senior church members appeared before a public hearing last year. The inquiry heard the church received allegations of …

"The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." (1 Cor 3:19) Trust in Jehovah as the End Draws Near We cling to Jehovah when we heed his Word, which often runs contrary to human wisdom. (Ps. 73:23, 24) For instance, people influenced by human wisdom may say: ‘You have only one life; make the most of it.’ ‘Pursue a good career.’ ‘Make a lot of money.’ ‘Buy this, buy that.’ ‘Travel; enjoy the world.’ Godly wisdom, on the other hand, is in line with the advice: “[Let] those making use of the world [be] as those not using it to the full; for the scene of this world is changing.” (1 Cor. 7:31) Likewise, Jesus exhorts us always to put Kingdom interests …
