"In faith all these . . . publicly declared that they were strangers and temporary residents in the land."—Heb. 11:13 From earliest times, faithful servants of Jehovah stood out as different from those in the ungodly world in which they lived. Before the Flood, Enoch and Noah “walked with the true God.” (Gen. 5:22-24; 6:9) Both of them were courageous preachers of Jehovah’s judgments against Satan’s wicked world. (2 Pet. 2:5; Jude 14, 15) Because they walked with God in an ungodly world, Enoch “pleased God well” and Noah “proved himself faultless among his contemporaries.” (Heb. 11:5; Gen. 6:9) At God’s invitation, Abraham and Sarah gave up the comf…

In answer to Anna question: The reasons were well explained by brother Lett in 2015 October meeting. He, sincerely mentioned at the beginning of his talk that thought God’s spirit guided them to the new conclusions about the falling in Babylonian hands and getting out from her. And I think so. I remember feeling very happy when I heard his comments, because finally God has shown to the brothers on charge the discernment regarding this matter. Well, this is only half of the way, but half is more than nothing, it only remains the other half. Let me start with this words from Jesus, I include two records about the same situation and some emphasis: (Mark 9…

Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword.—Prov. 12:18. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/1/23 Words have the power to hurt as well as to heal. Using words to inflict pain is common in Satan’s world. The field of entertainment incites many to “sharpen their tongue just like a sword” and to “aim their cruel words like arrows.” (Ps. 64:3) A Christian needs to avoid this harmful practice. One example of “cruel words” is sarcasm, stinging remarks intended to belittle or rebuke others. Sarcasm is often meant to be humorous, but it can quickly deteriorate into disrespectful, insulting speech. Cruel sarcasm is one form of abusive speech that Christians sho…

12 "Jehovah’s angel appeared to him and said: “Jehovah is with you, you mighty warrior.” (Judges 6:12) NWT IMG_4680.MOV 11 Later Jehovah’s angel came and sat under the big tree that was in Ophʹrah, which belonged to Joʹash the Abi-ezʹrite. His son Gidʹe·on was beating out wheat in the winepress in order to hide it from Midʹi·an. 12 Jehovah’s angel appeared to him and said: “Jehovah is with you, you mighty warrior.” 13 At this Gidʹe·on said to him: “Pardon me, my lord, but if Jehovah is with us, why has all of this come upon us? Where are all his wonderful acts that our fathers related to us, saying, ‘Did Jehovah not bring us up out of Egypt?’ Now Jehovah has …

Following with brother Lett talk in the 2015 Annual Meeting, he goes to mention that brothers in IWW period did not behave so badly, they did what they could or knew how to do. And sure we agree. But, in spite of the fact this could be said about the brotherhood in general, there is some basic principle to bring up. · (Luke 12:48) “Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him, and the one who was put in charge of much will have more than usual demanded of him.” As these words would directly apply to servants with serious responsibility in the congregation (interpretations apart), what would be the degree of responsibilit…

This subject was brought up in a rather off-topic way (by me, sorry) in a discussion that included the idea of using baptism to clarify denominational distinctions. The WTS has influenced several spin-offs and sects over the years, although obviously this does not mean that the WTS is responsible for how its teachings are used or misused by others I don't have any fears about the influence of WTS doctrines on other religions. For example, the WTS has taught several generations, now, that traditional doctrines about hell, hellfire and eternal literal torment should be reconsidered. Many denominations now preach a doctrine about hell that would have been unheard o…

It has been five weeks since a Shell gas station clerk in eastern Shasta County was set on fire and killed while he was behind the register at his job. David Wicks, 54, was a likable fixture at the gas station in Johnson Park, but questions hang over the small community in eastern Shasta County on the outskirts of Burney. Why was Wicks set on fire that night by a person dressed in a yellow rain jacket, black hoodie and gloves on Dec. 21 just before 7 p.m.? A still image of the attacker was released by the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office from surveillance footage at the gas station. The gas station remains closed, according to store owner Devinder Sahota. …

The word of our God endures forever.—Isa. 40:8. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/1/22 Thousands of fragments, manuscripts, and ancient translations have been compared and painstakingly studied by Bible scholars. This study validated the contents of the vast majority of Bible passages. The few verses about which there is a degree of uncertainty do not change the overall message. A study of ancient manuscripts convinces sincere Bible students that they have what Jehovah originally inspired Bible writers to record. Despite fierce opposition from enemies, Jehovah has seen to it that his Word is the most widely translated book in the history of mankind. Even …

Can You Find Peace in This Troubled World? Let People Be Who They Are They Are Lacking the Peace of God! - Satan is Trying to Deceive Us, Be on Guard! - Don't Waste Valuable Time! DO YOU live in peace? For many, the clear answer is no. They live in areas plagued by wars, political unrest, ethnic violence, or terrorism. Even if you are spared such calamities, you might find your peace disturbed by crime, harassment, and quarrels with business partners or neighbors. Families too are often like war zones rather than havens of peace. Many people yearn for inner peace. They may search for it in religion, meditation seminars, or yoga groups. Others hope to find peace…
