If Jehovah will cut the Great Tribulation short just to protect Jehovah’s Witnesses and save them, why has he let so many of them die in the decades leading up to the Great Tribulation, either through persecution or unexpected events?

No, it is not good to be de-sensitized.... this is what is happening in this world with all the bad things going on - we are all brutalized because we see and hear too much violence and we lose our empathy.... Soldiers who have faced combat are all brutalized in some way.... but we can also become like this even if we face lesser combat..... This is far removed from the love that Jesus taught. While the secular world believes all will be Ok if everyone just shows humanism - I believe this type of philosophy is not a solution to mankind's problems. Only the ideology of Jesus can work - the philosophy of self-sacrificing love. If all of society cares more for oth…

19/09/2016 LOBAMBA – Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to God as ‘Jah.’ This may come as s shock to many as this is a word that is widely believed to be associated and used by Rastafarians to refer to their god. It has been established that this is a word that Jehovah’s Witnesses use inter-changeably with Jehovah. Members of the congregation sang songs which incorporated the usage of the word yesterday during the last day of their three-day convention themed ‘Remain Loyal to Jehovah’ at Somhlolo National Stadium. Bonisile Mbhamali and Abednego Dlamini, who had been commissioned to the media service department during the convention, confirmed that indeed Jah was a…

The borrower is a slave to the lender.—Prov. 22:7. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/19 Jehovah knows that we need some money. But money cannot protect and sustain us the way godly wisdom can. (Eccl. 7:12; Luke 12:15) In many cases, individuals underestimate the cost of going overseas to work, and there are no guarantees that they will make money abroad. In fact, there are grave dangers. Many emigrants return with even greater debt. Rather than being freer to serve God, they end up serving those to whom they owe money. The wise course is to avoid going into debt in the first place. Seek Jehovah’s direction before you make decisions and commitments, not …

TRACEY BLAIR Legal News Reporter Published: September 20, 2016 A Lorain County trial court erred when it ordered the West Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses to produce certain documents for discovery in a child molestation case. However, the trial court was correct in concluding the majority of documents that were compelled are not protected from disclosure via the clergy-penitent privilege or the First Amendment, according to a recent decision by the 9th District Court of Appeals. Former West Congregation member Elizabeth McFarland sued the Lorain-based church in 2013 for negligence, ratification and fraud by omission/concealment. According to ca…

I hear voices and have done so since January 2011. It caused some to react sharply and to distance themselves from me. The research I have done since, shows that they are a psychological phenomenon. But I would like to know what you think as well as what research you've done.

The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.—Matt. 21:43. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/18 In the first century C.E., Jehovah cast off the unfaithful nation of Israel. However, that did not mean that he would be without an organization of loyal servants on earth. Jehovah transferred his blessing to a dynamic new organization centered on Jesus Christ and his teachings. It had its start on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. At that time, about 120 disciples of Jesus were gathered at a place in Jerusalem when “suddenly there was a noise from heaven, . . . and it filled the whole house.” Then “tongues as if of fire …

Go on bringing [your children] up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/17 Is that an easy assignment? No! Children are faced with an onslaught of satanic propaganda as well as with their own imperfect inclinations. (2 Tim. 2:22; 1 John 2:16) Some parents have noted that communication is more challenging when their children become teenagers—they may tend to withdraw and feel awkward about revealing their thoughts and feelings. If that is true of your children, what can you do? Rather than force your son or daughter into long, serious discussions, try to take advantage of casual opportunities. (Deut. 6:6…

Offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his name.—Heb. 13:15. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/16 Our lips should make public declaration to Jehovah’s holy name. Deaf brothers and sisters use sign language to render such praise to God. Housebound Christians praise him by letter writing, telephone witnessing, and preaching to attendants and visitors. Our sacrifice of praise—our giving praise to Jehovah by making known his name and proclaiming the good news—should be commensurate with our health and ability. It ought to be our best. (Rom. 12:1; 2 Tim. 2:15) Our sacrifices of praise are personal o…
