Let your words always be gracious.—Col. 4:6. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/7 In our ministry, we usually speak to individuals. Each person has his or her unique background and problems. (2 Chron. 6:29) When trying to share the good news with someone, ask yourself: ‘If our roles were reversed, how would I want this person to view me? Would I be pleased if he viewed me only as a nondescript resident of the neighborhood? Or would I prefer that he get to know me as a person?’ Considering such questions can remind us to treat each householder as an individual. No one likes to be labeled “a negative person.” Being imperfect, however, we sometimes say thi…

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, not over the medical risks, but because of Bible commands. Maybe God was onto something? - kevinmd.com One of the most misunderstood and misjudged beliefs practiced by Jehovah’s Witnesseses is their refusal to eitherdonate blood or accept a transfusion of blood in a medical emergency. So firm is their conviction in this regard that they are willing to die in order to uphold ascriptural command to “abstain from blood.” But this long standing precept now has forced many in the medical community over the last number of decades to admit the stand of the Witnesses is – and has always been – a medically sound decision.

Jehovah, please rescue us ❤ Why should you be afraid of a mortal man who will die and of a son of man who will wither like green grass?—Isa. 51:12. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/6 Faith in Jehovah will help you to conquer your fears. If powerful officials try to restrict your freedom to worship God, it may seem that your life, welfare, and future are in human hands. You might even wonder if it is wise to continue serving Jehovah and angering the authorities. Remember: The antidote to fear of man is faith in God. (Prov. 29:25) Focus your attention on your almighty Father. He sees, empathizes with, and acts in behalf of those who suffer under …

http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2016/08/113_212343.html Korean ex-JW brothers contacted the police and hinted to them that this murder could be related with WT's evil policy of shunning because Father was an elder (ministerial overseer) Mother was a regular pioneer Son was a ministerial servant focusing on Chinese speaking territory Killed daughter was an inactive JW I can't be sure that her inactivity triggered family shunning and that shunning was the cause of that day's quarreling which ended as a murder, but I believe the police should consider alleged probability. All they said can be just faking an alibi. We all know the 21…

Gloria Naylor, whose 1982 debut novel, “The Women of Brewster Place,” won a National Book Award and launched her to the fore of a wave of acclaimed black female writers that included Toni Morrison and Alice Walker, died Sept. 28 at her home in the U.S. Virgin Islands town of Christiansted. She was 66. The cause was a heart attack, said her literary agent, Sterling Lord. As a novelist, Ms. Naylor was unusual in “telling the stories of individuals whose voices have been excluded from the literary and social mainstream — whether because of race, class, gender or sexual preference,” said Maxine Montgomery, an English professor at Florida State University who has wri…

«Anti-missionary law» adopted in Russia in July 2016 was broadly discussed in English media. It has seriously limited proselytism activity of all religious organizations in Russia, except the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate).

It gives better picture of who was behind and lobbied the amendment. The law amendment regulating missionary activity in Russia was adopted on the federal level and went in force on 20 July 2016.
