Do you judge on appearances?

Do you judge on appearances? Do you judge a book on its cover? The impression could be misleading. To avoid being disappointed, it is better to watch the content. This principle is illustrated by a famous Turkish folklore character: Nasreddin Hodja (hodja means "teacher"). He is "both cunning and naive, wise and crazy [...]. Religious, however, he has human travels. It has been presented as "the invincible victim of the irony of fate". - John Noonan, The Tales of Hodja, Aramco World, September-October 1997. In one of the tales, the Hodja is invited to dine with an Ottoman notable. "Sadly, [Nasreddin] gets off his horse and hits a few shots at the awesome…

Results DOES NOT EQUATE FAVOR Numbers 20:7-12: Moses got results but not Jehovah’s blessing. This illustrates the need of not pursuing results only. We should be careful not to equate being used by God with having divine favor.

I blocked quite a few trolls yesterday. I didn’t really want to block them—it is a first for me—but the nature of trolls everywhere is that they do nothing but insist upon their own view. If answered, they just repackage and run it through again, and they get downright ornery when countered. Soon you find that they have taken over your day, because they will not let your counterview stand—they must demolish it. They are not even wrong, necessarily, in the basic facts they may present—but they insist upon skewing them and imputing motives, invariably bad ones, to their former friends. It is like that job you left—either you quit or were fired, You are unlikely to spe…

GOURMET MONKEY
by Guest- 0 replies
- 221 views
GOURMET MONKEY Native hunters in Africa have found a clever way to trap monkeys. They cut a coconut in half, dig it and, in one half of the shell, dig a hole big enough for the monkey's hand to pass through. They place an orange in the hollowed coconut. They tie the coconut to a tree with a rope, retreat into the jungle and wait. Soon, an unsuspecting monkey passes by, smells of delicious orange and discovers it inside the coconut. The monkey slides his hand into the small hole, grabs the orange and tries to pull it out through the hole. Of course, the orange will not come out; it's too big for the hole. The persistent monkey continues to shoot …

I Corinthians 11:3 - Is God superior to Christ? ‘But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God’. Watchtower teaching: JWs say that, because Jehovah is the head of Christ, then Christ cannot be God. They say that since I Corinthians 11:3 was written in 55 AD when Jesus was ascended and glorified, then this superior rank of Jehovah over Jesus applies to their present relationship in heaven. They claim that ‘Jesus is always presented as a lesser, separate, humble servant of God’. Should you Believe in the Trinity? p.20. The Bible teaching: I Corinthians 11:3 has to do with p…

balloon

A balloon filled with air can become very bulky. But is the balloon itself really so big? The balloon is tiny, as can be seen when it is empty. It looks big because of the air that inflates it.

For the majority of survivors of abuse, the new law is a welcome legal tool, but only for citizens of New York State. However, for Jehovah’s Witness victims, the legislation is far more significant. The Witness organization is headquartered in New York, which means that any and all cases from all 50 States are eligible where the Watchtower Organization is a defendant. The key to filing such cases revolves around Watchtower’s decades-old policy in which allegations of sexual abuse are handled internally as matters of “sin”- but are rarely if ever reported to law enforcement. --------------- As stated by New York’s Government Web Site, this new law:…

A woman is suing a local congregation ("Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Roy, Utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and Watchtower NY after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape. The trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows: At the time of the judicial committee, Plaintiff was fifteen years old. However, at the time of the conduct which led to the judicial committee, Plaintiff was only fourteen years old. This judicial committee was convened to determine if Plaintiff had engaged in pomea, defined by Jehovah's Witnesses as serious sexual sin. At this committee, Pl…

The 25 yr old mother who died in the massacre, on 8/3/19, protecting her baby has very devout JW parents and grandparents. Her husband was killed as well. Not sure if she was baptized but it occurred to me that her funeral talk will not be about HER or THEM and what they did. It will probably lean more towards making unbelievers...believers. They died protecting their baby and really wish that will be their focus. If its not, I hope it will wake up some in the audience. May they rest in peace ❤ Jordan and Andre Anchondo❤ (And all victims of that horrible day😔)

KOCO is one of four major local news station broadcasting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Not so fun fact: Oklahoma is part of what the US calls "Tornado Alley") and surrounding areas. The OKC metro area has a population of 1,396,445. I couldn't find how many people tune in to KOCO. I do know their Facebook page has a following of 448,000.

We took supper at a Red Robin after the first day of the “Love Never Fails” Regional Convention in Wilkes-Barre. At the table just behind me, a child—about 5 years of age (and not one of ours)—began raising a horrible ruckus, screaming at the top of his lungs. His mother took him out, but when she returned he started up anew. I turned around and asked the parents if everything was okay. I admit that I was looking for signs of endangerment. Maybe one “parent” or the other would look shifty. Maybe the child would act as though they were not his parents. It is a sign of the times that I should do this, but I saw nothing alarming. There was a time not too long ago …

What is the most translated website in the world? There are literally millions of websites and many of them are translated into several languages. Translating a website has become a basic business obligation today. But what is the most translated website in the world? Which website offers the most different versions of its content? Well, the undisputed champion when it comes to offering multilingual translations of its content is neither Apple, nor Microsoft, nor Adobe, nor the United Nations or the European Union, as one could say. wait there. This is the website of Jehovah's Witnesses (https://www.jw.org), which as its URL indicates, offers a secure connection. …

NOT A LOSS OF LIFE

NOT A LOSS OF LIFE When the widow dropped the two pieces of little value, Jesus does not say: stop, do not do that! This temple will soon be destroyed, it's wasteful! A comment like that would have been technically correct. And that would have been convenient because she gave everything she had.Why did not he say that? Because the reason for the widow was to give Jehovah wholeheartedly. And Jehovah accepted that. This illustrates a vital truth. Many of our brothers and sisters have dedicated their lives to God in the hope of seeing the end come true in their lives. At the beginning of the 20th century, some people thought that millions of people living a…

PRESENT AND FUTURE

PRESENT AND FUTURE The Psalmist in Psalm 119:105 employs a beautiful illustration saying: “Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path”. The lamp for the foot indicates our current steps, the present time, and the light to my path illustrates the future. Like an airport's control tower that indicate the pilot's flight path, the Bible accurately outlines future events and gives us clear instructions to ensure a safe arrival at our destination.
