The Prosecutor’s Office in Kirovo-Chepetsk (northeastern European Russia) is getting ready to ban the activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs), a religious group with many followers in the world, and about 400 branches in Russia. “Work that was conducted in the past year jointly with the FSB* and the Prosecutor's Office has permitted us to identify the leaders and active participants of the organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses who engaged in distribution of forbidden extremist literature,” Police chief Oleg Luchinin said. In August, police raided two branches of Jehovah's Witnesses in Karelia, beating up people found with “extremist” literature. Russia’s la…

The Word of Jehovah are more precious than gold! 9 "The fear of Jehovah is pure, lasting forever. The judgments of Jehovah are true, altogether righteous." 10 "They are more desirable than gold, Than much fine gold." And sweeter than honey, the honey that drips from the combs." (Psalms 19:9,10).

WILL YOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE? ??⛰? Bible the translators appropriately used the term “paradise” (pa·raʹdei·sos) with reference to the garden of Eden, because it evidently was an enclosed park. After the account in Genesis, Bible texts that tell about paradise refer to (1) the garden of Eden itself, or (2) the earth as a whole when it will be transformed in the future to a condition like that of Eden, or (3) flourishing spiritual conditions among God’s servants on earth, or (4) provisions in heaven that remind one of Eden. Genesis 2:8 states: “Jehovah God planted a garden [“park,” Mo; “paradise,” Dy; pa·raʹdei·son, LXX] i…

Lesson for today (Phil 2:3) 3 "Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you." PEOPLE today take great pride in personal accomplishments, and they are often quick to boast about them. Christians are different. They refrain from overemphasizing their own accomplishments, even those having to do with true worship. While they rejoice over what Jehovah’s people accomplish as a whole, they keep their individual contribution in the background. They realize that in Jehovah’s service, right motives are more important than personal accomplishments. Anyone who is eventually given the gift of eternal l…

Lesson for today. (John 9:31) "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does his will, he listens to this one." Clearly, those who show contempt for God’s laws or pray with improper motives cannot expect to be heard by God. Those who disregard God’s Word and law, shedding blood and practicing other wickedness, do not receive a favorable hearing from God; their prayers are “detestable” to him. (Pr 15:29; 28:9; Isa 1:15; Mic 3:4) The very prayer of such ones can “become a sin.” (Ps 109:3-7) King Saul, by his presumptuous, rebellious course, lost God’s favor, and “although Saul would inquire of Jehovah, Jehovah never answere…

Lesson for today. (Heb 5:14) "It is necessary for us to pay more than the usual attention to the things heard by us,” wrote Paul, “that we may never drift away.” (Heb. 2:1) Such drifting away from the faith can happen before we realize it. We can avoid having this experience by paying “more than the usual attention” during our consideration of spiritual truths. Therefore, each of us needs to ask: ‘Am I still considering just elementary things? Could I merely be going through the motions and floating along, as it were, without my heart being fully involved with the truth? How can I make genuine spiritual progress?’ Pressing on to maturity calls for…

CLE ELUM — A water line de-icing machine purchased by Windy Chevrolet to help with frozen water lines in Cle Elum is on its way and is expected to arrive early next week, Cle Elum City Administrator Rob Omans said Thursday. City officials hope that will prove good news for city water customers with frozen lines. Count among them members of the local Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation. The water line to the Kingdom Hall on First Street has been frozen for three weeks and three members of the congregation have spent the past three Saturdays trying to get the line unfrozen. John Drageland, a church elder, said the congregation is coping. Members meet on Thursday…

Jehovah knows the problems we face, he understands the pain of mind and heart, that was a result of hardships. Our Heavenly Father will never "forget your work and the love you showed for His name." "O Jehovah, you have searched through me, and you know me." (Psalms 139:1) NWT 10 "For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones." (Hebrews 6:10) NWT jw.org

"I am the fine shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me." Jesus referred to himself as “the fine shepherd,” one who really has compassion for “the sheep” and demonstrated this by surrendering his soul in their behalf. (Joh 10:11; see Mt 9:36.) But as foretold, the striking of “the fine shepherd” caused the flock to scatter.—Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31. NWT jw.org

35! 17! 82! Hut! Hut! Groundhog takes the snap and fades back. Looking for a receiver open. Center is covered. Tight end is a no-go. Groundhog getting good coverage so far. He looks downfield. He's trying to find a receiver for his new E-book 'No Fake News but Plenty of Hogwash.' About to throw - no. That wide center is covered. He looks some more. WHOA! What a hit!

It will be a while before they pick up those E-books. There will be no release just yet. .......…

We Can Remain Chaste The sons of men promote depravity.—Ps. 12:8. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/5 With immorality so pervasive, you may wonder, ‘Is it really possible to live a chaste life?’ Yes, with Jehovah’s help. However, in order to live a chaste life, we must reject immoral desires. Just as a baited hook may attract a fish, so immoral thoughts and lewd desires—when not immediately dismissed—may begin to draw out and entice a Christian. They can appeal to our fallen flesh and lead us toward immoral acts. In time, the allure of sin may become so great that the unclean desire becomes fertile. At that point, even a servant of Jehovah may be r…

On Groundhog Day the Great Hog attempts to fulfill any contractual obligations before emerging from is hole. He usually has a gig or two lined up and he has cashed in on his reputation by selling Hyundais, mattresses, and time-shares. This year was to be his greatest for he had inked a deal with the famous JW author Tom Harley for a coordinated GH day release of his second E-book 'No Fake News but Plenty of Hogwash. He rushed inside his lair, toward the opening, carrying a stack of dozens. However, it had rained the night before, the roof collapsed and all copies of Tom' wonderful book are muddy messes that must be hosed off. What an idio…

Jehovah inspired the Apostle Peter to link the holiness emphasized in the book of Leviticus with the need to be Holy in our conduct as Christians. 14 "As obedient children, stop being molded by the desires you formerly had in your ignorance, 15 "but like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all your conduct, 16 "for it is written: “You must be holy, because I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16) NWT 45 "For I am Jehovah, who is leading you up out of the land of Egypt to prove myself God to you, and you must be holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:45) NWT jw.org

‘Strengthen Yourself by Jehovah’ David’s fear of Jehovah did more than just restrain him from doing wrong. It strengthened him to act decisively and wisely under difficult circumstances. For a year and four months, David and his men took refuge from Saul at Ziklag in the Philistine countryside. (1 Samuel 27:5-7) Once while the men were away, marauding Amalekites burned the city and carried off all the men’s wives, children, and flocks. Upon returning and seeing what had happened, David and his men wept. Grief quickly turned tobitterness, and David’s men spoke of stoning him. Though distressed, David did not despair. (Proverbs 24:10) His fear of…

PICTURE THIS: THE apostle Peter and some other disciples are struggling to row their boat across the Sea of Galilee during a nighttime windstorm. Suddenly, they see Jesus walking on the sea. Peter calls out to Jesus, asking if he could walk across the water to his Master. When Jesus tells him to come, Peter gets out of the boat and miraculously walks toward Jesus on the choppy surface. Moments later, though, Peter starts to sink. Why? He looked at the windstorm and became afraid. Peter cries out to Jesus, who quickly catches hold of him and says: “You with little faith, why did you give way to doubt?”—Matt. 14:24-32. When Peter climbed out of the boa…
