"But the one listening to me will dwell in security And be undisturbed by the dread of calamity.” (Prob.1:33.) Avoid Anxiety and Find True Peace As this present system comes to its close, stress and demands on your time will no doubt increase. How important, therefore, that you strive to apply the Bible’s counsel: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Such peace is beyond the reach of anyone of a purely secular bent who sees no value in prayer.—…

“Send out your light and your truth. May these themselves lead me.” Psalm 43:3. JEHOVAH is very considerate in the way he makes his purposes known to his servants. Instead of revealing the truth all at once in one blinding flash of light, he enlightens us progressively. Our trek along life’s pathway might be compared to a walk that a hiker takes down a long trail. He starts out early in the morning and sees little. As the sun begins to rise slowly over the horizon, the hiker is able to distinguish a few features of his surroundings. The rest he sees in hazy outline. But as the sun continues its ascent, he can see farther and farther into the distance. So it is with the s…

It isn’t easy these days being Mike Pence’s namesake. Mistaken identities are not unusual for people with common first and last names, but if you’ve got the same name as a lawmaker who has earned a lot of controversy for his beliefs and background, things can get quite difficult indeed. Just ask the “other” Mike Pence, who shares a name with the U.S. Vice President-elect, but is a completely different person in every known way. A report from the Telegraph looked at the story of software developer Pence, whose Twitter account, @mikepence, has supposedly received a barrage of tweets meant for Donald Trump’s controversial running mate. Ironically, this Mike Pence doesn’…

By Jon Steingart Nov. 15 — Murphy Oil USA Inc. violated federal religious discrimination law when it fired a Jehovah’s Witness who refused to comply with a district manager’s command to wish customers a merry Christmas, a new lawsuit in Tennessee alleges ( Appleyard v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc. , W.D. Tenn., No. 1:16-cv-01290, complaint filed 11/10/16 ). Many employers deal with religious diversity in their workforce and customer base. About 71 percent of the U.S. population identify as belonging to some form of Christianity, with the rest being of another religion or unaffiliated, government data show. Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t celebrate Christmas, plaintiff Ri…

What I have learned in my creative career is that you must believe in yourself and be willing to follow your dreams. When I was young, people told me that you could not make a living as an artist in the Bahamas and that you had to be a trained singer with a beautiful voice to be a successful performer. However, I saw the incredible beauty of the Bahama Islands and our rich architectural heritage. I wanted to follow a career that I could enjoy always and I was convinced that if I worked hard I could make a living as an artist. I saw the value of editorial cartoons when I was studying architecture in Canada and I willingly offered my first cartoons to a newspaper e…

Moon to get super close to Earth ! Monday, ( Nov. 14, 2016 ) Everything you need to know about Super Moons! Nothing beats a bright and beautiful "supermoon." Except maybe, three supermoons! 2016 ends with a trio of full moons at their closest points to Earth, with the one on Nov. 14 being the closest so far in the 21st century ! A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The term "supermoon" is not astronomical, but orig…

Clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union.—Col. 3:14. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/16 Self-sacrificing, Christlike love is the mortar that binds the building blocks of a sturdy marital union. It makes the marriage unbreakable in the face of irritating personality flaws, daunting health challenges, distressing financial crises, and challenging in-law issues. True, it takes loving devotion, loyal commitment, and earnest effort to make a marriage succeed. Rather than abandoning the marriage when difficulties arise, marriage partners should be determined to make their relationship thrive—not just survive. Christian couples who are…

Be patient.—Jas. 5:7. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/15 We have to admit that we have no control over the spiritual growth of a Bible student. Modesty on our part will help us to avoid the temptation to pressure or force a student to get baptized. We do all we can to assist and support the person, but we humbly admit that ultimately the decision to make a dedication belongs to that person. Even though the seed we sow does not bear fruit, if we have done our best to help the student, we realize that this outcome is not a sign of unfaithfulness on our part. Jehovah allows the seed of truth to flourish only in a humble heart that is willing to make cha…

13 NOV 2016 JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES WEBSITE HELPS UNDERSTAND AND DEAL WITH DEPRESSION. Depression is one of the most common problems youth are dealing with today. Fast-paced lives, dependency on technology, and a world that is getting more and more virtual are all changing the traditional notions of family, love, friends and even life itself. Children who are brought up learning these traditional values are now exposed to a world that is very different from what they have always known. As such, the lack of enough support and resources to deal with these changes has led the modern youth to a sense of purposelessness, feeling unloved, and depression. The on…

- 916 views
Who? Born in 1990, Krystal Sutherland grew up in Townsville, North East Australia. The daughter of Jehovah’s Witnesses, her childhood was ‘pretty isolating'. 'I spent a lot of time on my own because I was discouraged from mixing with people of different faiths,’ she says. As a way to escape, Krystal wrote dark, elaborate stories about knights, dragons and magic. Big break Krystal didn’t consider writing for a living until her last day of school. ‘I told my English teacher I wanted to be an actress,’ she says. ‘She looked at me sternly and said: “I think you should write.”’ Moving to Sydney, Krystal enrolled at the University of New South Wales to study E…

SIXTY-seven-year old Soloveni Turogo and his wife, Amelia, are proud owners of a three-bedroom cyclone-proof home, complete with an adjacent kitchen and bathroom, thanks to a group of volunteers who descended on their Delakavula settlement in northern Viti Levu for three months to live and rebuild their home for free.

They, together with 16 other families in the area who lost their homes during Severe Tropical C…

Kyrgyzstan continues to deny all belief communities permission to exist without state control, Protestants stating they "live and exercise freedom of religion and belief with constant fear." Officials refuse to explain why officials' torture of Jehovah's Witnesses meeting for worship is not seriously investigated. Kyrgyzstan continues to deny state registration – and so state permission to exist – to many belief communities which apply for it, and to ban groups of people from exercising freedom of religion and belief without state permission. Protestant pastors state that they "live and exercise freedom of religion and belief with constant fear." State officials h…
