Years ago I called on a man and placed a set of magazines. I called on him again and placed another. But then I called back and he said he no longer wanted them. His wife was allergic to newsprint. “Look, just tell me you don’t like them,” I thought. “Lots of people don't. I can live with that. 'Allergic to newsprint!' What a stupid excuse! Now I’ve heard them all.” The man and his wife moved away. But some time after that I met them at a District Convention. By then, Bethel had switched to a higher-grade paper and he and his wife had made rapid progress. They’re probably in the circuit work now that Bethel has gone digital. A fine newsprint sample bel…

"[God] made him head over all things to the congregation."—Eph. 1:22. Jehovah has appointed Jesus as Head of the Christian congregation. (Eph. 1:22, 23) As “the fine shepherd,” Jesus reflects his Father’s interests, purposes, and qualities. Jesus even ‘surrendered his soul in behalf of the sheep.’ (John 10:11, 15) What a blessing Christ’s ransom sacrifice is for mankind! (Matt. 20:28) Why, it is Jehovah’s purpose that “everyone exercising faith in [Jesus] might not be destroyed but have everlasting life”!—John 3:16. “My sheep listen to my voice,” said Jesus, “and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27) Listening to the Fine Shepherd’s v…

“Be My Follower”—What Did Jesus Mean? - YOU will be Refreshed! (Psalms 23:0-6) A melody of David. "Jehovah is my Shepherd. I will lack nothing. 2 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; He leads me to well-watered resting-places. 3 He refreshes me. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. 4 Though I walk in the valley of deep shadow, I fear no harm, For you are with me; Your rod and your staff reassure me. 5 You prepare a table for me before my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; My cup is well-filled. 6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of…

Are you in God's book of remembrance? If you die the dead will be remembered. The Holy Ones receive a different type of remembrance in Heaven with Christ. There is also a "book of life". Learn how you can be favored now to be in that book... (Daniel 12:1) 12 “And during that time Mi′cha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book. (Revelation 3:5) He that conquers will thus be arrayed in w…

Olga Banuelos begins her days well before dawn, arriving at Oxford’s Fairfield Inn & Suites by 5 a.m. or earlier to make coffee and scrambled eggs. As she welcomes guests to the hotel’s breakfast, the 39-year-old Banuelos, who is a Jehovah’s Witness, keeps in mind a biblical command: the golden rule. “If I want people to treat me right and welcome me, I have to do the same thing,” she said Tuesday at Oxford Civic Center. For that welcoming spirit, Banuelos was one of nine area tourism and hospitality workers who were honored at a Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce event at the center. The nine were nominated by their bosse…

He said: “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked over the waters and went toward Jesus.—Matt. 14:29. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/15 The wind and waves surrounding Peter as he walked on the water might be compared to the trials and temptations we face in our life of dedication to God. Even when these are severe, we can stand firm with Jehovah’s support. Recall that Peter did not sink because of a gust of wind or a big wave. Think back on the sequence of events: “Looking at the windstorm, he became afraid.” (Matt. 14:24-32) Peter lost his focus on Jesus, and then his faith wavered. We could begin to sink if we were to begin “looking at the w…

Meet Tina Ernspiker. She’s a photographer, writer, missionary, and expat blogger at Los Gringos Locos For us it’s simple. We are Jehovah’s Witnesses, a worldwide organization of over 8 million from 240 lands. The unique thing about us is that in ALL these lands if you visit our places of worship you will find we have the same beliefs. We are a united brotherhood. When we moved to Mexico we only knew one person but because we have this “brotherhood” we had an immediate “family” of friends. Our nationality “no es importante”. With the above in mind, God loves us based on our hearts, not our nationality. We try to imitate that despite being imperfect. The Bibl…

How Did God Give Us Knowledge? - Knowledge to Know and Understand His Words and Will? ~ (1 John 5:20) "But we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us insight so that we may gain the knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true, by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life everlasting." He has given us insight that we may gain knowledge. Human brain: Modern computers are a product of intensive research and careful engineering. They did not “just happen.” What about the human brain? Unlike the brain of any animal, the brain of a human infant triples in size during its first year. Ho…

Maintain Loyalty With a Unified Heart “I shall walk in your truth. Unify my heart to fear your name.”—(PS. 86:11) WHY do some Christians who remain faithful for years despite imprisonment or persecution later succumb to materialism? The answer has to do with our figurative heart—what we really are inside. The 86th Psalm connects loyalty to a unified heart; that is, a complete heart, one that is not divided. “O do guard my soul, for I am loyal,” prayed the psalmist David. “Save your servant—you are my God—that is trusting in you.” David also prayed: “Instruct me, O Jehovah, about your way. I shall walk in your truth. Unify my heart to fear your name.”— (Ps.…

BIBLE QUESTIONS ANSWERED Why is world peace soelusive? Only a government that can change people’s hearts will bring world peace The Bible points to two main reasons. First, although humans have accomplished marvelous things, they are not created with the ability to direct their own steps. Second, human schemes have failed because “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,” Satan the Devil. Thus, human efforts have not been able to bring world peace.—Read Jeremiah 10:23; 1 John 5:19. Human self-interest and ambition have also made world peace elusive. Only a world government that can teach people to love what is right and care for one a…

Trust in Jehovah—The God of “Times and Seasons” “He is changing times and seasons, removing kings and setting up kings.”—DANIEL 2:21. Scientists still cannot explain what time really is. One encyclopedia says: “No one can say exactly what it is.” But Jehovah completely understands time. He is “the Creator of the heavens” and “the Former of the earth and the Maker of it.” Jehovah can know what will happen in the future. The Bible says that he is “the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done.” (Isaiah 45:18;46:10) We will now discuss two things that will strengthen our faith in Jehovah and in the Bibl…

13 March 2017 Global Voices The first time the police accused Evgeny of promoting fascism, he was living in Mordovia, a provincial republic about 350 miles southeast of Moscow. A short man, smartly dressed in a shirt and tie, he laughs as he describes how local police tried, not once but twice, to put him in prison for two years. It’s true, Evgeny admits, that he had been giving out leaflets to people in the area. But they were not Nazi propaganda. Evgeny is a Jehovah’s Witness — a branch of Christianity that sees spreading the word of God as a core tenement of faith. “I told the policeman sitting opposite me how the Nazis had persecuted the Jehovah’s…

Put on the new personality that was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty.—Eph. 4:24. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/14 During his life on earth as a perfect man, Jesus was surrounded by imperfect humans. He was raised by imperfect parents, and he spent years at home with imperfect relatives. Even his closest followers were influenced by the ambitious, manipulative spirit common around them. For example, on the evening before Jesus was executed, there “arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them was considered to be the greatest.” (Luke 22:24) But Jesus was confident that his imperfect followers could grow spi…
