© Justin McManus Lara Kaput has started a campaign to apply scrutiny to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Three decades ago Jodi*'s family were searching for a better life for themselves and their four children, well away from the gritty inner-city high rise apartment they called home. The family packed up their belongings and moved to rural Victoria where they planned to start anew. © Supplied Tara's family moved to rural Victoria in search of a better life but she says they were indoctrinated into the Jehovah's Witnesses.

❤True Love ❤ ( 1. Cor. 13 : 4 - 8 ) 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. A Husband comes drunk home and breaks some crockery, vomits and falls down on the floor,... His wife pulls him up and cleans everything,... Next day when he gets up he expects her to be really angry with him,... …

Displaying Modesty and Discretion 13, 14. (a) How can we show modesty when a privilege of service is extended to us? (b) How did Brother A. H. Macmillan set a fine example in displaying modesty? 13 There is much we can learn from Gideon’s modesty. For example, how do we respond when a privilege of service is extended to us? Do we think first of the prominence or prestige that will result? Or do we modestly and prayerfully consider whether we can fulfill the demands of the assignment? Brother A. H. Macmillan, who finished his earthly course in 1966, set a fine example in this regard. C. T. Russell, the first president of the Watch Tower Society, once asked Brothe…

"Let the one eating not look down on the one not eating."—(Rom. 14:3) In such matters as food and recreation, there is room for diversity and personal preference. (Rom. 14:2, 4) One [man] has faith to eat everything, but the [man] who is weak eats vegetables." 4 Who are you to judge the house servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls." Indeed, he will be made to stand, for Jehovah can make him stand. However, we also realize that allowing for diversity in recreation is not a license to indulge oneself. To illustrate, consider the example of food. Though we may be willing to eat a variety of foods, we would not deliberately consume f…

Can you share what you have or do you think you need it first? Why would that be hypocritical? Share and you will be blessed from Jehovah! An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?'' 'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are" …

"You must not follow after the crowd for evil ends."(Ex. 23:2) In taking a long journey, what would you do if you felt unsure about which way to go? You might feel tempted to follow other travelers—especially if you saw a great many making the same choice. Such a course is risky. After all, those travelers may not be heading toward your destination, or they too may be lost. In this connection, consider a principle that underlies one of the laws given to ancient Israel. Those who served as judges or as witnesses in judicial matters were warned of the danger of ‘following after the crowd.’ Without doubt, it is all too easy for imperfect humans to bow to…

Have You Been Influenced by Cynics? - Christ Left YOU a Model of Love to Follow! ~ (1 Peter 2:21) "In fact, to this course YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model* for YOU to follow his steps closely." Have You Been Influenced by Cynics? “THE cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad one. He is a human owl, vigilant in darkness, and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game.” This statement has been attributed to the 19th-century American clergyman Henry Ward Beecher. Many may think that it accurately portrays the spirit of a modern-day cynic. But the word “cynic…

You . . . satisfy the desire of every living thing.—Ps. 145:16. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/13 Personal interests and pleasures will have their place in God’s new world. After all, why did Jehovah create us with a hunger for personal accomplishment and wholesome pleasures if he did not intend to have us satisfy these desires to the full? (Eccl. 2:24) In this and other ways, Jehovah will always “satisfy the desire of every living thing.” Recreation and relaxation have their place, but the pleasure derived from them is increased when we put our relationship with Jehovah first. It will also be that way in the earthly Paradise. How wise it is for us t…

The Divine Name in the Hebrew Scriptures - The divine name, represented by the four Hebrew consonants יהוה, appears nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. This translation renders those four letters, known as the Tetragrammaton, “Jehovah.” That name is by far the most frequently occurring name in the Bible. While the inspired writers refer to God by many titles and descriptive terms, such as “Almighty,” “Most High,” and “Lord,” the Tetragrammaton is the only personal name they use to identify God. Why does the New World Translation use the form “Jehovah”? In English, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) are represented by the consonants YHWH. As w…

"Those days will be cut short."—Matt. 24:22. NWT jw.org Cutting short the days. Our King revealed what will occur at this point during the great tribulation. Jesus stated: “On account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.” (Read Matthew 24:21, 22.) Jesus’ words were fulfilled on a small scale in 66 C.E. when Jehovah “cut short”. the Roman army’s attack on Jerusalem. (Mark 13:20) That action allowed Christians in Jerusalem and Judea to be saved. What will then happen on a global scale during the coming great tribulation? Jehova…

Only God Can Save the Earth! - SOON THE EARTH WILL BE SAVED! - SEE THE PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED ALREADY! ~ “A SPARKLING BLUE AND WHITE JEWEL.” That is how astronaut Edgar Mitchell described our earth as he viewed it against the contrasting blackness of space. God went to great lengths to prepare the earth as a home for man. Its creation moved the angels to shout “in applause.” (Job 38:7) After studying the wonders of this planet, we too have reason to applaud. There are many intricate ecosystems that enable life to thrive on earth. In one of the best-known systems, green vegetation uses sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water to make food. A…

Does God Approve of All Religions? “GO IN through the narrow gate,” Jesus said, “because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” (Matthew 7:13, 14) According to God’s Word, there are only two kinds of religion: one true, one false; one right, one wrong; one that leads to life, one that leads to destruction. Some people think that all religions are pleasing to God. The following Bible verses show that this is not true: The Fruitage of False Religion How can we tell whether a religion is pl…
