DEVOTEE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES IN SURSKOE NOT ABLE TO AVOID ARMY BY ALTERNATIVE SERVICE by L. Naumova Ulyanovsk Press, 8 February 2017 The practice of substituting alternative civilian service for army service by conscription is implemented in our province with great difficulty. Not many of those who wish to perform civilian service manage to do so. The conditions prescribed by law for substituting are rather strict and draft boards and courts following them are not prone to make any concessions and exceptions. As a result, young people who are predisposed not to bear arms nor participate in military activities nor obey orders of commanders are forced to go into t…

Just as the day's of Noah so the presence of the Son of Man will be.... Matthew 24 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." …

In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.—2 Tim. 3:1. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/10 The Bible indicates that wickedness will greatly increase “in the last days.” (2 Tim. 3:13; Matt. 24:21; Rev. 12:12) So we can expect that world conditions, bad as they are now, will continue to decline. But how bad do you expect conditions to become before “the great tribulation”? (Rev. 7:14) For example, do you expect that there will be a war in every country, no food on anyone’s table, and illness in every household? Under those conditions, even skeptics would likely feel compelled to admit that Bible prophecy was undergoing fulfillment. H…

By Mushfig Bayram, Forum 18 A car has been confiscated from a Protestant because he did not pay illegal fines for giving religious books away. The books were approved by the Religious Affairs Committee, which apparently changed its mind so as to fine the Pastor. Raids and fines continue. Bailiffs in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent in January confiscated a car from Seventh-day Adventist pastor Andrei Ten because he did not pay an August 2016 fine for giving religious books away. The books had originally been approved by the Religious Affairs Committee, which then apparently changed it mind so as to fine the Pastor. He was denied the chance to appeal against the fin…

SONG 89 Listen, Obey, and Be Blessed (Luke 11:28) 1. If we have listened to Christ, will we show it? His teaching shines as it shows us the way. It makes us happy to hear and to know it, But we’ll be blessed if we know and obey. (CHORUS) Listen, obey, and be blessed When you hear God’s will expressed. If you’d be happy and enter his rest, Listen, obey, and be blessed. 2. Our way of life, like a house, gives prote…

“Now Is the Especially Acceptable Time” “Look! Now is the especially acceptable time. Look! Nowis the day of salvation.”—2 COR. 6:2. Paul recognized the significance of the timein which he lived. He said: “Look! Nowis the especially acceptable time. Look! Now is the day of salvation.” (2 Cor. 6:2) The majority of mankind, blinded by Satan, are still alienated from God and ignorant of the purpose of God’s undeserved kindness. (2 Cor. 4:3, 4;1 John 5:19) However, worsening world conditions have caused many to respond when shown that alienation from God is at the root of human evil and suffering. Even in lands where most people have been …

Why did Jesus hesitate to heal this woman's daughter? On one occasion, Jesus and his apostles were in the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. While there, they met a Greek woman who begged Jesus to heal her daughter. At first, Jesus ignored the woman. But when she kept on insisting. Why did Jesus at first refuse to help this woman? Was Jesus testing her to see how she would react, giving her an opportunity to display her faith? His tone of voice, although not revealed in the written text, did not discourage her. His use of the term “little dogs” softened the comparison. So perhaps Jesus was acting like a parent who intends to grant a child’s request but with…

hinducosmos: Festive Facts – All about Thaipusam Thaipusam or Thaipoosam is a festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February). On the day of the festival, devotees will shave their heads and undertake a pilgrimage along a set route while engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying various types of kavadi (burdens). At its simplest this may entail carrying a pot of milk, but mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is also common.

This Is Our Place of Worship There is an appointed time for everything.—Eccl. 3:1. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/9 Our respect for the God who invites us to Christian meetings should be manifested in our decorum, dress, and grooming. Respect also requires that we avoid extremes. Jehovah wants his servants and other guests to feel comfortable at the Kingdom Hall. At the same time, those in attendance would not want to detract from the meetings by being overly casual in their dress, by texting or talking during the meetings, by eating and drinking, and so on. Parents should train their children to understand that the Kingdom Hall is not the place…

Futzing along at a meeting, paying rapt attention as always, a tab descends from the top of my iPad and withdraws. 'Georgie likes your photo.' Amused, I slowly turn around. The lad is sitting three rows behind me in the center section. It's not so different from the old days, when John Dean would peruse Mad Magazine, disguised as a Watchtower magazine.
