We do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh.—2 Cor. 10:3. True Christians, who have their conscience trained by the Bible, do not learn war or participate in warfare. As a result of holding to this Christian position, thousands of Witnesses, young and old, male and female, have been persecuted. Many have suffered in forced-labor camps and prisons. During the Nazi era in Germany, some were even murdered. Regardless of the vicious persecution they faced in Europe, the Witnesses never forgot their commission to preach the good news of Jehovah’s Kingdom. They faithfully did so—in prisons, in concentration camps, and in exile. The strict neutrality of Jeh…

BIROBIDZHAN: PERSONNEL OF POLICE AND UFSB BREAK UP JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES' MEETING AND PLANT "EXTREMIST LITERATURE" Portal-credo.ru, 5 February 2016 http://www.portal-credo.ru/site/?act=news&id=118262 In the evening of 26 January in the center of Birobidzhan, around 15 persons, several with weapons and masks, interrupted a worship service which 150 Jehovah's Witnesses were conducting in a hall rented by one of the believers.

Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin.—Rom. 5:12. Both Adam and Eve sinned, but Adam was held responsible for their wrongdoing. The first human pair were led to think that they did not need Jehovah as their Ruler. That raised this vital question of sovereignty: Who has the right to rule? To provide an answer for all eternity, God allowed rule independent of him to continue for a time. He knew that experience would prove that rule independent of him would fail. Over the centuries, such rulership has plunged human society into one calamity after another. In the past century alone, about 100,000,000 people died in wars—and that includes millio…

Dear Librarian. Does anyone have a clearer understanding of what it seems to be a contradiction between Neh. 1:1 and 2:1? The research literature on hand does not seem to give me a clear cut explanation. I hope someone have info they could provide. Thanks Agape

The solid foundation of God remains standing, having this seal, “Jehovah knows those who belong to him,” and, “Let everyone calling on the name of Jehovah renounce unrighteousness.”—2 Tim. 2:19. In the apostle Paul’s day, certain professed Christians adopted false teachings; yet, they continued to associate with the congregation. To the casual observer, these brothers might not have been different from others in the congregation. But their apostasy presented a danger to faithful Christians. These wolves in sheep’s clothing began “subverting the faith of some.” (2 Tim. 2:16-18) Paul was sure that Jehovah could recognize hypocritical worship, and he was likewise convin…

It's a momentous moment for Jehovah's Witnesses, as the religious group was deemed exempt from paying property tax. In line with that, the religious sector was able to save almost $368M since the year 2004. According to recent data from BJH Advisors, a consultancy, and the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, as reported by The Real Deal, "The Jehovah's Witnesses owns dozens of valuable Brooklyn properties, and save quite a bit on taxes, and over the last 12 years, the church has saved at least $368 million in property taxes." Also, property taxes on the Witnesses' 37 Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo properties were valued at roughly $138.6 million since the year 2006. Fur…

At sundown on March 23, 2016, millions around the world will gather at Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses and other places to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ, and to hear a free bible discourse that explains how his death benefits us. This day corresponds to Nisan 14 based on the lunar calendar. The Passover was an annual event, and only celebrated once a year. The evening before his death, Jesus instituted a new meal to replace the Passover. Jesus said, at Luke 22:19, “…Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” This is the Memorial of Jesus Christ’s Death, not his resurrection or birth. This is the only celebration commanded by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It …

Brother Lett’s opening talk was an enthusiastic discussion of Jehovah’s celestial chariot as described in the Bible book of Ezekiel. This colossal, glorious vehicle pictures God’s organization, with Jehovah in complete control. Its heavenly part, composed of spirit creatures, moves with lightning speed—the speed of Jehovah’s own thoughts, Brother Lett said. The earthly part of Jehovah God’s organization is likewise on the move. Brother Lett noted a number of exciting developments in the visible part of God’s organization in recent years. For instance, a number of branches are being merged and consolidated, which will allow many who were formerly serving in Bethel homes …

When pushed over the edge, Rene Marie decided she’d fly

When Rene Marie returned to performing music after more than 20 years away from it, her now-ex-husband made her decision easy. Marie, who had been a singer since her teens, and her ex-husband became Jehovah's Witnesses, and the conservative group they were in frowned on singing nonreligious music in public places. "I continued to play at home," says Marie in a call from her home in Fredericksburg, Va. "My husband played piano. I played and sang and our sons were musical. And whenever there was a gathering and there was a piano nearby I was on it. It was just at a gathering we might have or at a friend's house, but never on stage." In her early 40s,…

God . . . does not dwell in handmade temples.—Acts 17:24. Is it futile to search for God? No, for he wants us to find him. The apostle Paul made that clear when he gave a witness to a group assembled on the Areopagus. That took place within sight of the Parthenon—a temple dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of ancient Athens. Imagine that you are there as Paul speaks about “the God who made the world and all the things in it” and then explains that He “does not dwell in handmade temples.” The apostle adds that God “made out of one man every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of where me…

Downtown Brooklyn Partnership ups its pressure on the tax-exempt organization to donate $50 million The Jehovah’s Witnesses have been exempted from paying at least $368 million in taxes on their Brooklyn real estate holdings over the last 12 years, according to an analysis by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and consulting firm BJH Advisers. The Partnership released the finding to increase its pressure on the religious organization to donate $50 million to the borough as it sells off at great profit the remainder of its Brooklyn property and moves upstate. “This is the last chance to do it,” said the partnership’s president, Tucker Reed, who initially…

When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, it is foolish and humiliating.—Prov. 18:13. Before delving into a discussion of the Bible’s viewpoint on a certain topic, we do well to try to determine what our listener really believes. Otherwise, we might spend a lot of time refuting an idea that he never believed in the first place! (1 Cor. 9:26) Tactful questions can help us to learn why a person believes what he does. For instance, what if someone we meet in the ministry says that he does not believe in God? It might be easy to assume that the person has been influenced by secular views, such as the theory of evolution. (Ps. 10:4) However, some people h…

Krayzie Bone’s lightning cadence still blazes through the haunting darkness of E.1999 Eternal. On the 1995 Bone Thugs-N-Harmony classic, Krayzie dubbed himself “Mr. Sawn Off Leathaface” as tribute to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s lead psychopath. Since, the rapper, real name Anthony Henderson, crafted himself as an iconic rap antagonist. From Bone Thugs’ séance ode “Mr. Ouija” to claiming evil overpowers his innate goodness on 2001's Gemini: Good vs. Evil, the 42 year old has often dabbled with malevolence to impact the listener. However, Krayzie’s now exchanged being a thug soldier for being a soldier of God. He claims to have found salvation and discovered what he’d bee…
