"Solomon began to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah."— (1 Ki. 11:6) “It came about in the time of Solomon’s growing old that his wives themselves had inclined his heart to follow other gods; and his heart did not prove to be complete with Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father.” (1 Ki. 11:4) http://wol.jw.org/en

Divorce! Nowadays, divorce has become easy and widespread, and the divorce rate in many countries is climbing. However, we should keep clearly in mind that Jehovah God has a completely different view of marriage and divorce than the one generally accepted in the world around us. What, then, is Jehovah’s view? Jehovah God expects those who are married to remain faithful to their marriage vow. When he united the first man and woman in marriage, Jehovah stated that “a man . . . must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.” Jesus Christ later repeated that statement and added: “Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.” Jesus further…

Miracles—Fact or Fiction? - DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? THE gentleman’s attention was immediately caught by the bumper sticker on a passing car, “Miracles Happen—Just Ask the Angels.” Although he was a religious man himself, he was unsure what this meant. Did the sign mean that the driver believed in miracles? Or was it, rather, a jocular way of indicating lack of belief in both miracles and angels? You may be interested in what German author Manfred Barthel noted: “Miracle is a word that immediately polarizes readers into two warring camps.” Those who believe in miracles are convinced that they occur and perhaps occur often.* For example, it is reported that in…

"Humility" When a person is "known rich" or "looks rich" and buys a decent mode of transportation - many views that person as humble but when a person is "viewed poor" or "looks poor" and drives the same decent mode of transportation - many views that person as arrogant. This is not about wealth, but the perspective. Might there be a difference between the definition of humility vs personal view of what "suits" an individual? In some countries, may locals view the minorities as "minorities"(incl. migrants from "poor" countries) and when these "minorities …

RUSSIA Russia Overview Jehovah’s Witnesses initially enjoyed peaceful worship in Russia after the Russian Federation granted national registration in 1992. The Witnesses registered again in 1999 under the Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations. There are hundreds of local religious organizations of Jehovah’s Witnesses registered and operating throughout the country. However, Jehovah’s Witnesses face increasing challenges that seriously threaten their religious freedom. Since 2009, law-enforcement agencies have sponsored a nationwi…

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Polk County mother is outraged after she claims a school bus driver used her son to spread hate. Natalie Encarnacion told News Channel 8 that the bus driver, now identified as Violeta Jacobo, told her seven-year-old son he would go to hell for supporting his mom’s same-sex relationship. One afternoon, in the beginning of February, her son had missed his bus from Alta Vista Elementary School, so a different bus driver took him home. “He mentioned [to the bus driver] he was hoping his two mom’s wouldn’t be upset that he was home so late,” Encarnacion said. “She said ‘whoa God doesn’t like that,’ then she went on and on telling him how he wouldn’…

Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia Brace for a Final Blow

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are no strangers to harassment in Putin’s Russia. But they may be about to be dealt a final blow. March 6, 2017 After more than a decade of legal wrangling, controversial anti-terrorism laws are set to deliver the final blow to Russia’s embattled Jehovah’s Witnesses. For years, Russia has chased the group in a tireless game of cat and mouse. Authorities hold shipments of Bibles at the border. Police raids are timed to break up Sunday services. Meeting houses across the country are shuttered. But now the group's religious leaders say their situation is critical. Prosecutors, who call the group an extremist sect, responsible f…

God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forevermore.—Ps. 48:14. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/9 A marvelous work of transformation in connection with the earthly part of Jehovah’s organization was foretold at Isaiah 60:17. Those who are young or comparatively new in the truth have read about the evidences of this transformation or have heard about it from others. But how privileged the brothers and sisters are who have personally experienced it! No wonder they are convinced that by means of his enthroned King, Jehovah is guiding and directing His organization! They know that their confidence is well-founded, a confidence all of us share. H…

Jehovah is with you wherever you go! 9 "Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and strong. Do not be struck with terror or fear, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) JEHOVAH’S service brings us joy. Yet, we do face hardships common to mankind, and we may “suffer for the sake of righteousness.” (1 Pet. 3:14;5:8, 9; 1 Cor. 10:13) To cope with such trials successfully, we need faith and courage. Courage has been defined as “spiritual, emotional, and moral fortitude to speak and act without fear in the face of obstacles and dangers." To have the courage needed to do God’s will, we must study and apply his Word. Jesus, early…

Does Anyone Really Care? Do these pictures disturb you? This IS REALITY! Yet, we all have hope read on why: Did you ever feel alone and helpless, as if no one really understood the problems you were facing? And even if they knew about them, you felt that they did not really care. God is described in the Bible as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) God, whose name is Jehovah, knows we need comfort. The Bible uses “comfort” in various forms over a hundred times, assuring us that God not only understands what we face but also desires to comfort us. This knowledge convinces us that even when others do not seem to noti…

Messages from on high Feb.24 2017 Connecticut is a notoriously boring place. It’s a commuter state for wealthy New York businessmen with families to own large homes and access quality school systems. “But, it can’t possibly be that bad,” I’d convinced myself upon choosing Yale last spring, “People just love to complain.” But, over the months since arriving here in August, that optimistic mentality has been beaten to a near pulp. That is, until I discovered the beautiful sanctuary at the peak of Science Hill. If you ever wish to escape the repetitive cycle between bed and Bass Library or exchange the gaggles of tourists for lithe students in delicate gold-frame…

Henry, Jr., James Robert aka "Brother Henry" and "Big Jim", - 91, of Pleasantville, passed away at home, surrounded by family and close friends on Thursday ~ March 2nd, 2017, after an extended illness. James was born on February 5th, 1926 in Atlantic City, New Jersey to the late James Robert Henry, Sr. and Catherine Virginia Louis. After meeting Mary Mobley in grade school, James said that she was the first Jehovah's Witness that he had ever met. She made such an impression on him that in 1962 he was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses at The President Hotel in Atlantic City after studying with Bro. Hillary and Bro. Nickerson. Because of his deep love for God and peopl…

Preach The Word

OF ALL those who claim to be Christian, only Jehovah's Witnesses take the preaching of the good news seriously. They form the only group in which every member feels a personal obligation to approach his neighbor on a regular basis in order to talk to him about God's purposes. Why is this? Because each Witness feels that, as a Christian, he must be a footstep follower of Christ. (1 Peter 2:21) What does this imply? In the minds of many, Jesus Christ was merely a man who did good deeds. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and showed love and kindness to those in need. But Jesus did much more. He was first of all a zealous preacher of the good news of God's Kingdom. …
