Prince learned Jesus was Jehovah’s Son
by Guest Kurt- 1 reply
- 740 views
Prince learned Jesus was Jehovah’s Son and not God or part of a God Head or a Trinity. He learned this by combining Scriptures written about Him and Jesus own admissions. The first scripture does not say it is Jesus that Jehovah is talking to, however, it becomes powerful when read in the same line of thought with others about creation. Read Genesis 1:26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness” New World Translation That Jesus Christ was the first creation of Jehovah, after His creation Jesus was the Co Creator of the Heavens and the Earth : …

Correcting Media Portrayals of Prince’s Faith
by Guest Kurt- 2 replies

The recent passing of music icon Prince has motivated many people to look at a once little-known fact about his life: his faith. Though he was baptized a Seventh-day Adventist, Prince became a Jehovah’s Witness. He regularly attended services and even knocked on doors, as this CNN.com story illustrates: On one occasion Prince knocked on a door in a middle class suburb of Minneapolis. A woman answered and stared at the instantly recognizable singer, easily the Twin Cities’ biggest celebrity, Lundstrom recalled. “In the middle of Prince’s very nice Bible presentation, the woman says, ‘Excuse me, but has anyone told you that you look a lot like Prince?’ He looks a…

Let the case against the Kings’ Darren Collison play out

California law says if cops see a mark on anybody on a domestic violence call, somebody is going to jail, and that’s how they responded this week on a midnight mission to Darren Collison’s house in Granite Bay. Only two people know how the “visible injuries,” as the salient evidence is described in Section 273.5 of the California Penal Code, made it onto Collison’s wife, and neither she nor the Kings’ backup point guard are publicly talking about it just yet. Collison’s lawyer, however, had a few things to say about the felony case Wednesday. The attorney, Bill Portanova, advised media consumers to hold on for a few moments before they make any judgments in the …

This undated photo provided by the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Ramsey, Minn., shows Dr. A. Quinn Strobl, the chief medical examiner at the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office. Strobl performed Prince's autopsy on April 22, 2016, the day after he died. (Midwest Medical Examiner's Office via AP) May. 12, 2016 Prince's autopsy, particularly the toxicology report, may clarify whether prescription painkillers played any part in his death. Determining whether the music superstar died of a drug overdose will likely involve not only tests of his blood, urine, liver tissue and fluid from the eyes, it also will require compiling evidence from Prince's medicin…

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) — Autopsy results show that Prince died of a self-administered overdose of Fentanyl, and his death was ruled accidental. The 57-year-old singer was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate. The findings confirm suspicions that opioids played a role in the musician’s death. After he died, authorities began reviewing whether an overdose was to blame and whether he had been prescribed drugs in the preceding weeks. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Fentanyl is more potent than morphine, and is “sometimes used to treat people with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to opiates.” The autopsy report releas…

Always stay at Jehovah's table. With a beautiful picture ! JEHOVAH'S LOVING KINDNESS ! talk by Br Daniel Sydlik - A Member of the Governing Body I tell you now we are going to talk about something ....You know very little about if you will ever ........ understand it..

Now usually whenever there is a new king, it's a joyful time for the new king and a horrible time for the old king because all the boys in the family of the old king would be wiped out for fear they would come back for revenge or reprisal.

The bridegroom came.—Matt. 25:10. Jesus’ prophecy recorded in Matthew chapters 24 and 25 contains eight references to his “coming”; in each case, a form of the same Greek word is used. In every instance, Jesus was referring to the time during the great tribulation when he will come to carry out the judging work and then the destruction of this world system of things. Evidently, then, this parable of the ten virgins applies during the last days, but its climax comes during the great tribulation. (Matt. 25:1-13) What is the parable’s basic message? Remember the context. Jesus had just discussed his “faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45-47) That slave would prove …

AZERBAIJAN: Fines for religious meetings "correct"?

The judge who upheld a large fine on a Jehovah's Witness for attending a worship meeting rejects the victim's argument that the fine violates the European Convention on Human Rights, telling Forum 18 his "decision is correct". Azerbaijan is obliged to uphold the Convention.

"We believe our decision is correct and legal," Judge Mirbahaddin Huseynov of Sheki Appeal Court told Forum 18 on 2 June from the court. On 22 April he upheld a large fine on Jehovah…

Jehovah's Witnesses apply to build new Kingdom Hall in Stornoway
by Guest Nicole- 0 replies

The Stornoway congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses plan to build a new church. The proposed Kingdom Hall would be sited on Perceval Road, facing the rear of the Dun Eisdean care home. The new place of worship would be close to the Culregrein Mission House where the Stornoway Reformed Presbyterian Church meet. The present Kingdom Hall is located above a block of shops in Church Street. The group has met there since 1958. A bid for full planning permission for the new hall plus carpark has been lodged to Western Isles Council. Four people have made representations supporting the development while one objection has been submitted. The Comhairle's…

How do you prove from the Bible that 1935 was the year for the selection to heaven stopped due to being filled? What is the difference between a Catholic appealing to "what the organization tells him" about December 25 being the date of Jesus' birthday and a Jw' appealing to "what the organization tells him" about the date 1935? Is it not hypocritical when you chide the "poor deluded Catholic" that his faith cannot find a Bible passage to support it, when the same goes for you and 1935?

For years the society has said that over 40,000 a year are disfellowshipped. add to that the 10's of thousands who simply disassociate or fade.... so by that logic, would it be correct to assume there are actually more former witnesses on the earth than the number of current active witnesses?

I am longing for all of you with such tender affection as Christ Jesus has.—Phil. 1:8. Jesus felt tender compassion for others. When he saw his friend Mary and those with her weeping over the death of her brother, Lazarus, Jesus openly “gave way to tears.” (John 11:32-35) Then, likely stirred by heartfelt pity—just as when he raised a widow’s son—he resurrected Lazarus. (Luke 7:11-15; John 11:38-44) By means of that tender act, Jesus may have put Lazarus in line to receive life in heaven. On an earlier occasion, Jesus “felt tender affection” for a crowd that came to him. Impelled by compassion, “he started to teach them many things.” (Mark 6:34; Kingdom Interlinear) …

Hey everyone I am going to the Tagalog RC in the beginning of August for my wifes benefit. Then 2 weeks later we go to our English. I am hoping to find a link to be able to record an RC that has already taken place so that I can listen to the English program with my headphones during the Tagalog convention. I will be really bored if I cannot find this. If anyone knows of a link, please email me at bgambino@pawlingep.com thank you
