Since nobody understood my previous question ( because everybody says his/hers opinion, I will make it more general. And this time I want you to prove it from the scriptures -2 John 1:10) : Is it Christian NOT to accept someone who comes to the congregation and asks for forgiveness ? When the Prodigal Son in the parable of our Lord Jesus came back home the father accepted him. His brother didn't want him back but the father corrected the second son: “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found". -Luke 15:31.…

If everyone on earth were a Jehovah's Witness, would there still be wars? The WTS answer may surprise you....because its answer is Yes. The WTS teaches that during the millennium everyone will live in peace and harmony, anyone out of harmony with (enemies of) Jehovah will either not be resurrected or will be summarily annihilated during that time, until by the end of the 1,000 years everyone on earth will have reached perfection physically, mentally, morally, spiritually; and will have become perfectly sin-free, as Adam was before he sinned. Everyone on earth will have studied from the new WTS publications (Revelation 20:12) especially designed for them to come to k…

Tell them to work at good, . . . safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, so that they may get a firm hold on the real life.—1 Tim. 6:18, 19. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/15 Despite our weaknesses and imperfections, Jehovah is pleased to use us as his fellow workers. How we cherish our privilege of working with our God in these last days! Thus, we should be willing to postpone the pursuit of many of our personal interests, knowing that in his new world, Jehovah will allow us to enjoy “the real life”—everlasting life in happy, peaceful conditions. Think of what Moses told the Israelites shortly before they entered the Pr…

Do not say: “I will do to him just as he has done to me.”—Prov. 24:29. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/14 Have you ever heard someone say, “I will give him a taste of his own medicine”? Jesus recommended a more positive way of handling difficult situations. This rule of conduct is so well-known that it is often called the Golden Rule: “Just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them.” (Luke 6:31) Jesus meant that we should treat people the way we would like to be treated and not repay unkindness with unkindness. In marriage, it means that we need to put into the relationship what we hope to get out of it. Married people strengthen their rel…

Drawing near to God is good for me.—Ps. 73:28. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/13 If we ponder over what the Bible says about Jehovah’s interactions with his faithful servants of the past, we will learn countless wonderful things about our God. Thus we will come to know Jehovah very well and come to love him deeply. As a result, we will be able to draw closer to him. (Ps. 25:14) We should never draw away from Jehovah. If we have allowed some distance to develop between him and us, we should act in accord with Hosea 12:6, which states: “Return to your God, maintain loyal love and justice, and always hope in your God.” Let us, then, draw closer and clos…

Yakima County cold case from 1992 may finally have a resolution

Nearly three decades ago, Samantha Rios took a taxi to her home in Naches Heights after a bus dropped her off in Yakima. Her husband, Jose Maciel, said she never arrived at their home, where earlier they had argued before she left for The Dalles, Ore., taking his car and cashing a check of his for nearly $1,000. Rios’ sister would later report that he had threatened to kill his wife if she ever left him. While she was never seen again, Yakima County sheriff’s detectives never had enough evidence to arrest him. Then last May, a heavy equipment operator spotted a skull as he was moving dirt for a new fruit warehouse in the Gleed area, where Maciel had once wo…

The following are real events that happened just recently, even though it may sound like sci-fi. Sorry for bad English, I'm not a native speaker :). TL;DR: Paweł Bugajski, a member of polish branch committee was questioned before court in a civil case regarding shunning practices. It didn't turn out well for him. Read on for the full story. The case is still ongoing so I can't say much, but get this: there is this brave polish woman, Danuta Kubik (her blog in Polish), who suffered a lot from the organization, because of elders who disfellowshipped her for "brazen conduct" (i.e. not obeying her husband, an alcoholic and wife batterer, and going with her problems to leg…

Media star Kate Langbroek on family and fame
by Guest Nicole- 0 replies
- 3.3k views
It’s the laugh that is the signature, that chuckle that is right now ringing out across the St Kilda cafe. It seems to embody the joy Kate Langbroek gets out of a surreal thought or a bit of mischief or the innate humour of tiny stuff in our everyday lives, the comedy borne from recognition and familiarity. We’re having coffee and Kate is sharing random thoughts – she can’t stand parents who talk endlessly about their kids, who bag Halloween as “too American” (fun-stoppers), and she says she hates cyclists when she’s driving and hates drivers when she’s cycling. There is a lot to love about Kate Langbroek, media star, mother of four, wise soul and long-time radi…

The picture below is found here, under the Examining the Scriptures Daily for August 30th; its inscription requires consideration. “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea” 1 Cor 10:1,2 Moses was assigned directly by God to set free His people from the captivity of men, as well as bring them to repentance. Ex.6:6-8,12; 12:21,24,28,42. Today, the GB will not say they are inspired, although they claim to be the “channel” used by the Lord and guided by Holy Spirit. That faithful slave is the channel through …
