Someone just sent me a scan of the Boonville Advertiser newspaper in which it mentions J.F. Rutherford as a member, and not only just a member but the toastmaster for the inauguration of the Golden Gate Lodge No.91, Knights of Pythias. Also, he was a member of the Woodmen of the World. Although not a "Masonic" organization, it was included in Russell's condemnation of such organizations: the Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, etc., perform certain rites and ceremonies of a religious kind... We place upon one level all of those who have any religious ceremonies, teachings, etc., and consider them all as parts of Babylon ... We admonish the Ne…

Do You “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”? Let your words always be gracious, seasoned with salt.—Col. 4:6. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/17 In our preaching work, we meet with varied responses—some favorable, some hostile. Regardless of how people react, however, God’s Word shows the standard that his servants must maintain. When we make a defense before everyone who demands of us a reason for our hope, we do so “with a mild temper and deep respect” because we are motivated by neighbor love. (1 Pet. 3:15) We show love of neighbor even if our message is rejected by an angry householder who berates us. We imitate Jesus: “When he was being insulte…

RUSSIA: Jehovah's Witnesses to be liquidated?
by Guest Nicole- 0 replies

By Victoria Arnold, Forum 18 Russia appears to be moving to close the Jehovah's Witnesses' headquarters as "extremist". If this happens, all 406 registered local organisations and over 2,500 religious groups would be highly likely also to be liquidated, ending Jehovah's Witness open public communal life in Russia. Russia's General Prosecutor's Office appears to be moving to liquidate the Jehovah's Witness headquarters body as "extremist". It appears to believe that it already has enough evidence to seek its liquidation because courts have in the past year liquidated local branches and punished individual community members. The assertion comes in a 27 January ord…

God's Witnesses in Ancient Times Israelite parents witnessed by teaching their children about God's dealings with their forefathers When to instructed to observe the Passover each the people were told: 26 "And when your sons ask you, ‘What does this observance mean to you?’" 27 "you must say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he plagued the Egyptians, but he spared our houses.’” Then the people bowed low and prostrated themselves." ( Exodus 12:26,27) NWT Parents may also have explained to their children that when Moses first approached Egypt's ruler to ask permission for the …

Translated by Google: February 16, 2017, the Leninsky District Court of Voronezh will consider the case on an administrative offense against the local religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, which is wrongly blamed for the failure to notify the authorities of the liturgy, which was held October 9, 2016 in a rented sports complex on the street. Voroshilov. On that day, the police invaded a church service with a search (see photo). Believers are convinced that the case be terminated in the absence of an administrative offense.

Pray to a Star or to the Creator Who Will Hear You? ?? ?? ?? The vastness of the stellar creation adds infinite force and meaning to the Creator’s statement at Isaiah 40:26: “Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.” (Compare Ps 147:4.) The reverent psalmist was led to say: “When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthl…

God is love.—1 John 4:8. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/16 Love is God’s dominant quality, his most important one. Jehovah does not just possess love—he is the personification of it. How wonderful it is to know that the Creator of the universe and of all living things is a God of love! Everything he does is guided by that quality. The warm, benevolent affection that God has for his creatures assures us that all his purposes for the human family will be fulfilled in the best possible way and will result in the greatest benefit to all who come under his rulership. For example, out of love Jehovah “has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabit…
