    @samuel_gas and I went hiking in Tuscany, Italy in the Apuan Alps, an area of hikers and climbers with many tourists and visitors. In the summit book of Monte Procinto (meaning “belted mountain”) we left a jw.org visit card toghther with a message inviting to visit jw.org. What a privilege witnessing in such an amazing place with the Mediterranean sea at the horizon, sourrounded by such breathtaking view! Even while we enjoy creation we can have the chance of “praising Jah” as “mountains” do (Psalms 148:9). Photo shared by @mountain_sam

    “Keeping everyone entertained has been a challenge, especially with the little ones. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is when the head of the household is someone like my dad, not quite as creative as others and whose primary language is Spanish. Not to mention that English is the language that really reaches my little sisters and my daughters heart.” Shared by @c.elena24

    Laura and I are moving soon to a group that is working to become a congregation here in Mexico, hopefully in the near future. The friends in our congregation were kind enough to have a going-away party, and in the photo a group of children from the congregation are singing a Kingdom song to us with much enthusiasm. Needless to say, tears flowed freely. Of course, it helps to know we enjoy an eternal hope, and eternal friendships. Photo shared by @randall_and_laurita

    Brothers announce that we have a new understanding of the meaning of GOG OF MAGOG that it is no longer understood to be Satan.

    • Doctrinal changes to interpretation of “Gog of Magog” to governments today and not “nations” after Armageddon
      • Gog of Magog "Is most likely the king of the north and not satan now"
    • The 10 Virgins
    • The 10 Talents
      • All of Jesus parables have been simplified. They no longer were prophecy fulfilled around the 1914 era. All evil slaves etc are just a warning now. Talents just means gifts all have been given. There are no longer meanings to every little thing that they use to apply around the 1914 date.

    A new APP can be downloaded for JW LANGUAGE, and you can learn a new language online to facilitate preaching to people of other languages.

    • New app featuring 4k different phrases in different languages

     


    • Starting January 2015 a new part on the service meeting entitled “How Do You Know The Truth” will replace local needs, in which approved members of the congregation will be invited to share their experiences

    Bethelites with five years or more service may serve for a year on a missionary assignment.

    • Bethelites can now go to pioneer school
