 BAGUIO CITY—Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW) in the Philippines have asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to intercede on behalf of Filipinos who face arrest or deportation in Russia for belonging to their faith.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of the Philippines, the legal and corporate arm of JW, made the appeal when it met DFA officials this week on behalf of more than 8,000 Filipino Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia.

Hundreds of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia are affected by a warning issued by the Russian prosecutor general about what it described as the JW’s “extremist activities.”

Este es el camino. Anden en él (Is. 30:21).

http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/2/28

A lo largo de la historia, Jehová ha dado instrucciones y guía específicas. Por ejemplo, en el jardín de Edén dio instrucciones claras para guiar a la humanidad por el camino que lleva a la felicidad y la vida eterna (Gén. 2:15-17). Pero Adán y Eva no siguieron su guía, y las consecuencias fueron terribles: tuvieron que vivir una vida llena de sufrimientos y murieron sin ninguna esperanza. Eva siguió un consejo que creyó que venía de una serpiente, y Adán escuchó a su esposa, aunque no era más que un ser humano como él. Como los dos rechazaron la guía que su Padre les había dado con tanto cariño, ellos y todos sus descendientes acabaron condenados a muerte. Hoy, Jehová se ha puesto de pie delante de sus siervos, por decirlo así, y les está señalando el camino que los mantiene protegidos y los lleva a la vida eterna. Además, es un pastor cariñoso que guía a sus ovejas y las previene para que no tomen ninguna ruta peligrosa. w16.03 4:2, 3

This is the way. Walk in it.—Isa. 30:21.

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/28

Down through history, Jehovah has provided specific instructions or directions. For example, in the garden of Eden, Jehovah gave clear instructions that could guide the human family to everlasting life and happiness. (Gen. 2:15-17) Had Adam and Eve obeyed his direction, they would have been spared tragic consequences—a life filled with pain and ending in their death with no hope. But rather than obey, Eve listened to advice that seemed to come from a lowly animal. Adam, in turn, listened to her voice, the voice of a mortal human. Both of them turned their backs on their loving Father’s guidance. Consequently, the human family in general was on a fatal path. Today, Jehovah stands before his people, as it were, pointing them toward everlasting life, away from dangers. More than that, he acts like a loving shepherd to his flock, calling out to the sheep proper direction and warnings so that they can avoid dangerous paths. w16.03 4:2, 3

La fe, si no tiene obras, está muerta (Sant. 2:17).

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/27

Si tienes una fe firme, es razonable esperar que lo demuestres con tus acciones. Los jóvenes tienen que mostrar también “actos santos de conducta” (2 Ped. 3:11). Para ello, debes tener una conducta limpia. ¿Y cómo es tu conducta? Haz memoria: en los últimos seis meses, ¿has demostrado que sabes ver la diferencia entre lo que está bien y lo que está mal? (Heb. 5:14). ¿Has logrado resistir alguna tentación o la presión de tus compañeros? ¿Te comportas como un verdadero cristiano, o tratas de parecerte a los demás para que no se burlen de ti? (1 Ped. 4:3, 4). Claro, nadie es perfecto. Hasta a los que llevan muchos años sirviendo a Jehová puede costarles a veces defender sus creencias. Sin embargo, se espera que todas las personas que están dedicadas a Jehová se sientan orgullosas de formar parte de su pueblo y que lo demuestren con su conducta. w16.03 2:10, 11

Yes Queen Esther, but around our territory there is still quite a bit of interest...........in the last three months I have obtained 40 new return visits, and 4 of us do business territory once a month for 2-3 hours and in the last two months (working in pairs we placed 126 Brochures........only had 2 refusals from Commonwealth Government Departments due to their regulations)...........so while we long for that New World, there is still all this interest.............however we know that it s all up to Jehovah, when He says enough, we can be sure it will be enough............and it does not stop us longing for that promised paradise.

As last weeks WT Study pointed out our love for Jehovah, His word and a belief in His promises for the future are an anchor for our faith, particularly in these last days.

Oh...  thats  great !  and  I  am  happy  for  your  wonderful  area  with  so  many  interested  humans  -  yes  and  Jehovah  is  of  course  watching  that  all   A  big  blessing  for  you  &  your  Brothers.  -  I  not  think,  our  preaching work  is  finished  in  some  month's...  But  we  all  keep  on  the watch...  I  think,  all  Islands  we  can't  still  visit  -  think  to  the  many  Maldives  Islands, its  still  forbidden  there,  sorry But  our  Missionaries  working  there  very  careful  in  secret,  bec. 99 %  Moslems.  I  asked  in  a  Bethel  -  I  was  5 times  there  and  could  little  talk  with  someone  and  gave  English  literature  to  my  holiday - "friends"...  that  was  really  nice.

Yes,  its  not  so  easy  in  many  area's,  bec. poor  humans, all  Muslime,  but  a  wonderful  folk.  I  learned  in  these  5  years  a  unique  hospitality  on  the  inhabited  Islands ❤  I  really  felt  like  a  little  princess... wonderful  humans !  Sometimes  I  felt  ashamed, yes.

Jehovah  can  look  into  the  future  and  I  want  so  much,  that  some  of  these  coming  to  the  NW  too,  oh  yes !  Ok.  we  shall  see....  Jehovah  is  a  loving  GOD ❤

I  wish  you  still  alot  success  in  your  area's  and  will  pray  for  you  too !

Nice  to  hear  your  preaching  stories  -  thank  you  so  much  Brother Barltrop

Until  next  time,  Regards  from  Germany,  Agape !

Faith by itself, without works, is dead.—Jas. 2:17.

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/26

If you have strong conviction, it is reasonable to expect that you will show it by your actions. Young ones must also manifest “holy acts of conduct.” (2 Pet. 3:11) To do so, you must be morally clean. How are you doing in that regard? For example, think about the past six months. How have you demonstrated that your “powers of discernment” have been trained to distinguish right from wrong? (Heb. 5:14) Can you think of specific occasions when you resisted temptation or peer pressure? Does your conduct at school speak well of your faith? Do you stand up for your faith rather than try to blend in with your classmates just to avoid ridicule? (1 Pet. 4:3, 4) Admittedly, no one is perfect. Even longtime servants of Jehovah may at times feel timid about taking a public stand for their faith. However, a person who is dedicated to Jehovah will rightly be proud to bear God’s name, and he shows this by his conduct. w16.03 2:10, 11

WHAT a difference !  JEHOVAH  has really changed the new Brother's life ❤

SO  amazing....  a  big  blessing !

           Learn From Jehovah’s Loyal Servants...

Ruthless men seek my life.—Ps. 54:3.

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/26

Abner supported Saul’s efforts to kill David, even though Abner knew that God had chosen David to rule as king of Israel. (1 Sam. 26:1-5) After Saul’s death, Abner could have shown humility and proved his loyalty to God by supporting David, not Saul’s son Ish-bosheth. Later, when Abner had relations with King Saul’s concubine, he may have been seeking the throne for himself. (2 Sam. 2:8-10; 3:6-11) Similarly, lack of humility prevented David’s son Absalom from being loyal to God. Why, “Absalom acquired for himself a chariot and horses and 50 men to run before him”! (2 Sam. 15:1) He also stole the people’s loyalty. Like Abner, Absalom sought to kill David, even though he knew that Jehovah had appointed David as Israel’s king. (2 Sam. 15:13, 14; 17:1-4) The examples of Abner and Absalom make it clear that inordinate ambition can easily cause a person to become disloyal to God. Surely, no faithful servant of Jehovah would pursue such a selfish and wicked course. w16.02 4:9-11

    Sigamos el ejemplo de lealtad de los siervos de Dios del pasado...

Hay tiranos que de veras buscan mi alma (Sal. 54:3).

http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/2/26

Abner apoyó los intentos de Saúl de matar a David, aunque sabía que Jehová había escogido a David para que fuera el siguiente rey de Israel (1 Sam. 26:1-5). Después de la muerte de Saúl, Abner debió mostrar humildad y apoyar a David en vez de a Is-bóset, el hijo de Saúl. De hecho, es probable que él mismo haya querido ser rey; quizás por eso tuvo relaciones sexuales con la concubina de Saúl (2 Sam. 2:8-10; 3:6-11). Absalón, uno de los hijos de David, tampoco fue leal a Jehová, pues le faltaba humildad. Como quería ser rey de Israel, “mandó a hacerse un carro, con caballos y con cincuenta hombres que corrían delante de él” (2 Sam. 15:1). Convenció a muchos de que le fueran leales a él y no a su padre. Igual que Abner, trató de matar a David, y eso que era su padre y el rey nombrado por Dios (2 Sam. 15:13, 14; 17:1-4). ¿Qué nos enseñan los ejemplos de Abner y Absalón? Que si una persona es ambiciosa, podría acabar siendo desleal a Dios. Desde luego, ninguno de nosotros haría algo tan egoísta y malvado como lo que hicieron ellos dos. w16.02 4:9-11

I think you totally miss my point. Of course kid's can take part in parents activities including ministry etc. However my point. Do not push them. Letting them know how capable (stout ? - we have a word for this in my native language that has no direct translation in english) they are. Unwittingly giving them a feeling of "competition" of "spiritual maturity" from way too young age  . These imperfect habits often transferres into adulthood when people need "labels" to tell others how "spiritually successful" they are (elder, bethelite, CO etc. etc) instead of imitating Jesus standards being humble and loving (Luke 9). If we are not cautious this "pattern" can easily being "planted" into our kid's. One example is the PRISING of young ones getting baptised. "The younger the more praiseworthy".  I don not generalise here, but I can see these tendencies (see 1 Peter 1:7 and the baptism questions and ask yourself: "Is this appropriate for an 8/9/10 etc yr young kid to be answering?")

My point is that maybe parents should be very much aware of these tendencies and therefor resist/contain them trying to find a healthful balance. 

OK. I hope I have been able to explain my worries. I love kid's and I respect parents working hard to raise their kid's to become good/loving human beings/christians. 

 

PS: What is your real identity/name? Always nice to know who you are talking to....

PPS: Please have in mind English only is my second language. Therefor I sometimes use the wrong word. Please  try not to interpret to the hard/sever direction but to the milder.

I  wrote  all  to  you  by  PM  message...  so all  is  okay !

@TrueTom  Look  by  my  postings  in  category  "Experience"...  There  you  can  read  an example  of  a  boy went  door  to door  with  a  CO. Brother !  The  CO,  really  enjoyed  the  little  door tio door  talk  of  the  little  boy   It was  a  success...  and  the  CO.  used  that  text  at the  next  door  too !   So  you  all  see,  our  kids are  so  clever  and  mature  too !

Thank you so much for that beautiful presentation of song 139 ("Sing Out Joyfully" o Jehovah), it certainly brought a tear to eye. My late wife loved this song and I had this sung at her memorial service...........and I am so looking forward to that time when we see that all is new and be with her once again.

Again thank you

Awww...  that  is  touching  my  heart,  dear  Brother  Barltrop ❤  Thank  you  so  much !  You're  always  welcome,  yes   By  some  Kingdom  songs  I  get  also  tears  in  my  eyes,  thats  normal  and  okay....  Enjoy !   I  will  look  on  &  off  for  nice  songs,  yes.

@Micael Frost  I  understand  your  point,  but  all  kids  really  very  different,  so  we  not  come  to  a  common  result.  In  many  Countries  we  have  exceptional  cases  of  young  children,  thats  fact !   Please,  lets  stop  here,  bec.  we  have  separate  discussion  forums   there  you  can  better  dicuss.  Maybe, thats  interesting  for  you.

I have 4 adult children. Two of them were particularly "mature". Doing bible reading at 6 etc etc. I regret A LOT and wish I had more knowledge and wisdom at that time. I know exactly what I am talking about. What is your personal experience? 

PS.  Kids  always  want  imitate  their  parents  and  when  they  want  go  preaching, they  can  do. Already  Jesus  was  telling  so.... Remember, little  girls  often  want  be  a  princess, a model, singer  or  dancer, etc. -  they  WANT  it  and  we  not  stop  them !  They  will  stop  on  &  off  from  alone, thats  okay !

Many  kids  in  my  cong. are  very  active.  Never  stop  such  of  children !  If  they  like  sports  or  other  things,  thats  alot  better  than  later  smoking,  drinking, drugs  or  more  bad  things.  You  understand  what  I  mean ?
