Jehovah’s People “Renounce Unrighteousness” Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord.—Eph. 5:10. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/3 Differences of opinion regarding entertainment can result in “foolish and ignorant debates.” (2 Tim. 2:23) Of course, when individuals promote entertainment that violates Jehovah’s moral standards, Christian elders should not tolerate such behavior simply to avoid controversy. (Ps. 11:5; Eph. 5:3-5) Still, elders are careful not to promote their personal views. In the matter of entertainment, our organization does not review specific movies, video games, books, or songs in order to rule on what we should avoid. Why not? The Bible encourages each individual to train his “powers of discernment . . . to distinguish both right and wrong.” (Heb. 5:14) The Scriptures set forth basic principles that a Christian can weigh when selecting entertainment. The Bible teaches that family heads have a measure of authority, so they may choose not to allow certain entertainment in their household.—1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 6:1-4. w14 7/15 2:11, 12

NEW WORLD TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES... QUESTION 12 : What Hope Can We Have for the Dead ? “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” *John 5:28, 29 “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” *Acts 24:15 “I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.” *Revelation 20:12, 13 http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/introduction/hope-for-the-dead/

“Tienes que amar a tu prójimo” Oyeron ustedes que se dijo: “Tienes que amar a tu prójimo y odiar a tu enemigo” (Mat. 5:43). http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/11/2 A continuación, Jesús añadió: “Sin embargo, yo les digo: Continúen amando a sus enemigos y orando por los que los persiguen; para que demuestren ser hijos de su Padre que está en los cielos” (Mat. 5:44, 45). El apóstol Pablo dio un consejo parecido cuando escribió: “Si tu enemigo tiene hambre, aliméntalo; si tiene sed, dale algo de beber” (Rom. 12:20; Prov. 25:21). Según la Ley mosaica, si un israelita veía que el animal de su enemigo había quedado atrapado bajo la carga, debía ayudarle a liberarlo (Éx. 23:5). Esa colaboración podía hacer que anteriores enemigos llegaran a ser buenos amigos. Lo mismo es cierto hoy. Cuando tratamos con amor a nuestros enemigos, incluso a los perseguidores más crueles, podemos ablandarlos y hacer que cambien de actitud. ¿Y quién sabe? Quizás algunos hasta se hagan siervos de Jehová. w14 15/6 2:8 -
“You Must Love Your Neighbor as Yourself” You heard that it was said: “You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.”—Matt. 5:43. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/2 To the above, Jesus added: “However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens.” (Matt. 5:44, 45) The apostle Paul made a similar point when he wrote: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.” (Rom. 12:20; Prov. 25:21) According to the Mosaic Law, a person was to help an enemy to free his animal that had fallen under its load. (Ex. 23:5) By working together in such a way, former enemies might become good friends. Because Christians show love, many of our enemies have softened their heart toward us. If we show love for our enemies—even rabid persecutors—how happy we will be if some of them embrace true Christianity! w14 6/15 2:8

Russia (in the Archives) A brave police Russian intimidating to two older sisters who were not violating any law. In this square, the law allows them to be with their cars always not to bother passers-by. A journalist was able to capture these images when an intriguing do I report to the sisters who had been forced to listen to them. Immediately the policeman was present for fining the relation. We wonder if the police take a good look any false complaint against citizens who have been months in the square without bothering to anyone. On the "Jehovah's Witnesses" in Komsomolsk-on-Amur tried to "incite" Police. On the Square. Youth in Komsomolsk-on-Amur almost every day you can watch the two women, who offer passers literature published by the religious organization "Jehovah's Witnesses." By "Jehovah's Witnesses" have long been accustomed, and they are few people pay attention. However, it was found that women with book trolleys have bitter enemy - Today the police checked them for the commission of a crime. Two women komsomolchanok, Natalia and Galina, members of the religious organization "Jehovah's Witnesses", every day come to the area of youth and lead, in their words, "a Bible educational activities" - offer to get acquainted with passers-printed products of their community. Most people dismiss "Jehovah's Witnesses", or just ignores the women - their presence has long been an inherent part of this area. There are those who are interested in booklets, some engage in polemics. There were the "witnesses" and obvious enemies - now on them to the police received a complaint from a citizen who said that they "stick to passers-by," thus violating the public order. Galina and Natalya to proceedings directed the district (by the way, the police officer refused to introduce themselves). A man in police uniform at first behaved more aggressively telling iegovistkam get out of the square. The women explained to him that there was nothing illegal, they are not engaged, and forcibly impose nothing to anybody - neither their religion nor literature about it. - We know the woman who wrote the complaint - said Galina. - It is often terrorized us - threatening, enough books, tearing them, screaming all around, that we are "American spies" and traitors to the motherland. We tried to explain to her that we do not bring harm to anyone. But she said she would fight with us as long as we are not "closed." Women wrote the district explanatory. Police softened his tone, but advised preachers "away from sin" not to stand on the square today :-(

Siga la Regla de Oro en su ministerio Antes - y después de cambiar su vida! Ahora un hermano Me he hecho toda cosa a gente de toda clase, para que de todos modos salve a algunos (1 Cor. 9:22). http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/11/1 Si alguien que encontramos en el ministerio nos trata mal, podría ser que estuviera muy presionado o que tuviera una enfermedad grave. Muchas personas que al principio se han mostrado enojadas han reaccionado favorablemente cuando los siervos de Jehová han sido apacibles y respetuosos con ellas (Prov. 15:1; 1 Ped. 3:15). En la serie “La Biblia les cambió la vida”, de la revista La Atalaya, han aparecido muchas biografías. Algunas de las personas descritas en ellas habían sido ladrones, borrachos, pandilleros o drogadictos. Otras habían sido políticos, líderes religiosos o personas centradas en su profesión. Algunas habían llevado una vida inmoral. Sin embargo, todas ellas oyeron las buenas nuevas, aceptaron un estudio bíblico, cambiaron y se hicieron Testigos. Por consiguiente, nunca pensemos que hay quienes jamás aceptarán el mensaje del Reino (1 Cor. 6:9-11). w14 15/5 2:7, 8

All humans get a chance changing their life, before & as a Brother ! Follow the Golden Rule in Your Ministry... I have become all things to people of all sorts, so that I might by all possible means save some.—1 Cor. 9:22. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/1 If someone you meet in the ministry seems to be belligerent, could it be that he is under pressure or dealing with a serious health problem? In many cases, householders who initially were upset have responded favorably when Jehovah’s people treated them with mildness and respect. (Prov. 15:1; 1 Pet. 3:15) Many experiences have been published in the Watchtower series “The Bible Changes Lives.” Some of the people featured in these articles were formerly thieves, drunkards, gang members, or drug addicts. Others were politicians, religious leaders, or career-focused individuals. Some were pursuing an immoral lifestyle. Yet, all of them heard the good news, accepted a Bible study, made changes in their lives, and came into the truth. Therefore, we should never assume that certain people are beyond the reach of the Kingdom message.—1 Cor. 6:9-11. w14 5/15 2:7, 8
