Abel Castro reacted to John Lindsay Barltrop in Biblical King Hezekiah Official Seal Found in Ancient Trash Dump - 2,700-year-old... (video)
Yes, I agree..........it is far better for us to watch the video "O Jehovah......I Trust in You"..........we do know that it follows accurately the Biblical account of Hezekiah, when Assyria tried to plot Jerusalem's demise.
The main problem with people who put some of these other videos together and narrate them, is that they do not know Jehovah, and the cannot even read the Bible account of events accurately...........also omit "minor" things, like the angel of Jehovah destroying 185 000 of Senacharib's army in one night......only a minor point.......NOT. That was the main point of the entire incident, to my way of thinking.........Jehovah acting on behalf of his people.........and isn't that what we are all looking forward to in the not too distant future, we say in effect "O Jehovah......we trust in you"

Abel Castro reacted to Susan Ramirez in Biblical King Hezekiah Official Seal Found in Ancient Trash Dump - 2,700-year-old... (video)
Queen Esther,
I have one question. Why would King Hezekiah have a pagan symbol like the ank on his official seal? He was so firm for true religion, tearing down pagan religious idols on several occasions. Also, we just learned from our midweek meeting that he did not form an alliance with Egypt. The information in the video may not be correct. Might want to be careful what is posted here as others might take it for fact, when it may not be. Just a suggestion....
*** it-1 p. 1103 Hezekiah ***
Hezekiah set the example by crushing to pieces the copper serpent that Moses had made, because the people had made it an idol, burning sacrificial smoke to it. (2Ki 18:4)

@Susan Ramirez Thanks for your good question, Sister Susan ! But I can't give you a quickly answer to that, sorry ;-( Its VERY long ago... we know, humans in the past made mistakes ! In the first time, our WT Literature still had a cross on the front site, the JW were celebrating Christmas etc. etc. - By and by we got more & more new light, until today... We can ask our elders about your question, but they also have sometimes no answer of all... Our Librarian has a very deep Bible knowledge ! I am sure, he can help you quickly - Its very interesting and importend to know it, yes ! When the video is faulty, I will remove it !

Abel Castro reacted to Queen Esther in *Honor Jehovah’s Great Name* - EXODUS 3 :15 NWT
*Honor Jehovah’s Great Name*
EXODUS 3 : 15 NWT
” 15 Then God said once more to Moses:
“This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation
“I will glorify your name to time indefinite.”—PS. 86:12.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
What does it mean to know God’s name?
How has Jehovah progressively revealed his name?
What does it mean to walk in Jehovah’s name?

Abel Castro reacted to ARchiv@L in Jehovah’S Witnesses Help In Hurricane Aftermath
By DENISE MAYCOCK
#Tribune Freeport Reporter
#dmaycock@tribunemedia.net
#JEHOVAH’S Witnesses from the United States are in Grand Bahama helping their fellow members who were affected by Hurricane Matthew.
#Volunteers from Florida and other parts of the US were out with local members in Freeport helping with roof repairs to homes damaged by the storm last October.
#Misael Morales, who is from the Miami area, said that teams of volunteers are in The Bahamas working between Nassau, Freeport, Exuma, Long Island, and Andros.
#“We have about over 330 homes of our brothers and sisters that were affected by Hurricane Matthew, and JW do a lot of disaster relief. When we heard that our friends needed assistance here, literally folks from around the US were asking when can they go to help,” he said.
#The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has coordinated extensive relief efforts following the passage of Hurricane Matthew to assist its members in The Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the southeastern US in early October 2016.
#Mr Morales said that volunteers have been coming from the US weeks at a time to assist with relief efforts in The Bahamas.
#“Some are here for a few months…and about 120 at any given time are working between Freeport, Nassau, Exuma, Long Island, and Andros. We have seen typical hurricane damage - roof damage and interior damage from storm surge,” he said.
#In Grand Bahama, the team will be working on about 60 to 65 homes in Freeport. The three Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Halls also sustained roof damage and will be replaced.
#Mr Morales expects the team to be finished its work by the end of March. They will work on six to seven homes per week in Freeport.
#He said that wherever there is a need Jehovah’s Witnesses are willing to help.
#“We consider this part of our ministry. JW is well known for our door to door work, that is our core competency to educate others about God. We also feel that it is not just helping people to get to know God, but to understand that this is how He takes care of His people,” he said.
#Mr Morales said the volunteers have taken time off work to help their fellow Jehovah’s Witnesses in The Bahamas.
#“They paid their way to come here to go work on someone’s roof they don’t know just because they say they are Jehovah’s Witnesses as well - that is love,” he said.

Abel Castro reacted to Bible Speaks in "I Am Coming to You in the Name of Jehovah of Armies"
David and Goliath
THE Phi·lisʹtines again come to fight against Israel. David’s three oldest brothers are now in Saul’s army. So one day Jesʹse tells David: ‘Take some grain and loaves of bread to your brothers. Find out how they are getting along.’
When David arrives at the army camp, he runs to the battle line to look for his brothers. The Phi·lisʹtine giant Go·liʹath comes out to make fun of the Israelites. He has been doing this every morning and evening for 40 days. He yells: ‘Choose one of your men to fight me. If he wins and kills me, we will be your slaves. But if I win and kill him, you will be our slaves. I dare you to pick someone to fight me.’
David asks some of the soldiers: ‘What will the man get who kills this Phi·lisʹtine and frees Israel from this shame?’
‘Saul will give the man many riches,’ the soldier says. ‘And he will give him his own daughter to be his wife.’
But all the Israelites are afraid of Go·liʹath because he is so big. He is more than 9 feet (about 3 meters) tall, and he has another soldier carrying his shield for him.
Some soldiers go and tell King Saul that David wants to fight Go·liʹath. But Saul tells David: ‘You can’t fight this Phi·lisʹtine. You are just a boy, and he has been a soldier all his life.’ David answers: ‘I killed a bear and a lion that carried off my father’s sheep. Andthis Phi·lisʹtine will become like one of them. Jehovah will help me.’ So Saul says: ‘Go, and may Jehovah be with you.’
David goes down by a stream and gets five smooth stones, andputs them into his bag. Then he takes his sling and goes out to meet the giant. When Go·liʹathsees him, he can’t believe it. He thinks it will be so easy to kill David.
‘Just come to me,’ Go·liʹath says, ‘and I will give your body to the birds and animals to eat.’ But David says: ‘You come to me with a sword, a spear and a javelin, but I am coming to you with the name of Jehovah. This day Jehovah will give you into my hands and I will strike you down.’
At that David runs toward Go·liʹath. He takes a stone from his bag, puts it into his sling, andthrows it with all his might. The stone flies straight into Go·liʹath’s head, and he falls down dead! When the Phi·lisʹtines see that their champion has fallen, they all turn and run. The Israelites run after them and win the battle.
1 Samuel 17:1-54.
We today show courage and faith in Jehovah of Armies he will help us to fight all our battles.

Abel Castro reacted to Queen Esther in Texto do dia, para Terça-feira, 2 de agosto 2016
Desvia-te do que é mau e faze o que é bom. — Sal. 34:14.
http://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/dt/r5/lp-t/2016/8/2
Você já viu o nome “Jeová” escrito em algum prédio público ou em um artefato? Isso talvez tenha deixado você curioso e empolgado. O nome de Deus é muito importante para nós; afinal, somos Testemunhas de Jeová. Nenhum grupo no mundo é tão associado ao nome divino como nós. No entanto, sabemos que esse privilégio vem acompanhado de responsabilidade. O simples fato de usar o nome divino não traz a aprovação de Jeová. Também devemos viver de acordo com seus padrões de moral. Por isso, a Bíblia nos lembra de que o povo de Jeová deve se ‘desviar do que é mau’. O apóstolo Paulo deixou isso claro ao escrever: “Todo aquele que menciona o nome de Jeová renuncie à injustiça.” (2 Tim. 2:19) Como suas Testemunhas, somos de fato conhecidos por levar o nome de Jeová. w14 15/7 2:1, 2
