  1. "It's the person, not the place; Â It's the heart and not the face".... ( 1 Timothy 2:4) When Santa is off duty and wants to learn the truth about Christmas.
  2. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED? IS CHRISTMAS FOR CHRISTIANS? ~ ?????? If you want to know the truth about Christmas, you need to read this.  Around the world, nearly two billion people celebrate Christmas each December 25, while at least 200 million others celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ on January 7 SHOULD A CHRISTIAN CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? Christmas is not a bible teaching and true Christians are not to celebrate it.. To prove that let us examine some questions about Christmas.. (1)WAS JESUS BORN ON DECEMBER 25TH? ANSWER -NO The bible does not give a specific date that Jesus was born, but it gave us an insight or a clue that shows  Jesus was not born in December or January.  It simply states: “There were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks. And suddenly Jehovah’s angel stood by them, and . . . the angel said to them: ‘. . . There was born to you today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’”—Luke 2:8-11. Facts point to Jesus’ birth at approximately the beginning of October when shepherds with their flocks would still spend the night in the fields. The countryside around Bethlehem experiences the coldest weather during the months of December and January. Hence, to keep them warm at night, flocks are kept indoors  into protective shelters. (2)SINCE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE  THAT THE BIRTH  OF JESUS CHRIST OCCURRED ON  DECEMBER  25, WHY IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATED ON THIS DATE? ANSWER- The Encyclopædia Britannica says that church leaders  chose it “to coincide with the pagan Roman festival marking the ‘birthday of the unconquered sun,’” at the time of the winter solstice. According to The Encyclopedia Americana, many scholars believe that this was done “in order to make Christianity more meaningful to pagan converts.”In summary ,  Christmas has a pagan origin (3)DID THE EARLY CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? ANSWER-NO. There is no historical evidence that the early Christians celebrated the birth of the Christ. But they did memorialize his death. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) It was not until more than 300 years after Jesus’ birth that Christendom officially began to observe Christmas on December 25. Interestingly, in the mid-17th century, an act of parliament banned Christmas celebrations in England. In the United States, the Massachusetts General Court did the same. Why? The book The Battle for Christmas, says: “There is no biblical or historical reason to place the birth of Jesus on December 25.” It adds that to the Puritans, “Christmas was nothing but a pagan festival covered with a Christian veneer.” (4)IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN SANTA CLAUS AND JESUS CHRIST BIRTH? ANSWERS-NO The Santa Claus myth owes its origin to Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Asia Minor, now Turkey. “Virtually everything written about St. Nicholas is based on legends,” says The Christmas Encyclopedia. The designation “Santa Claus”  owe its origin to the word Sinterklaas, a corruption of the Dutch terms for “Saint Nicholas.” Historically and Biblically, Santa Claus has nothing in common with Jesus Christ. (4)DID JESUS INSTRUCT US TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH? ANSWER-NO There is no record in the bible that shows Jesus Christ instructing us to celebrate his birth.His father did not celebrate his birthday neither  did his disciples celebrate it. Infact,the only event Jesus specifically instructed his followers to commemorate was his death, not his birth, and this was to be done as a simple communion meal. (Luke 22:19, 20) Note, too, that the Gospels of Mark and John are silent about Jesus’ birth. (6)AFTER KNOWING THAT CHRISTMAS IS NOT FOR CHRISTIANS, DOES IT STILL MATTER IF I CELEBRATE IT? ANSWER-YES At John 15:14 Jesus said :"You are my friends if you do what I command". Doing what Jesus specifically commanded us to do will show our obedience to God's rulership and will bring blessings to us now and in the future.(Luke 11:28) (5)CAN WE STILL HONOUR JESUS CHRIST IF WE DO NOT CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY? ANSWER-YES HOW TO HONOUR  CHRIST Some feel that regardless of what the actual date is, Christians should still commemorate Jesus’ birth. In their minds such a celebration, when observed in a dignified manner, is an appropriate way to honor Christ.This thinking is however  flawed. The birth of Jesus is indeed an important event in the Bible account. The Bible says that when Jesus was born, a multitude of angels appeared suddenly and erupted in joyful praise to God, saying: “Glory in the heights above to God, and upon earth peace among men of goodwill.” (Luke 2:13, 14) However, it is noteworthy that nowhere in the Bible is there even a suggestion that Jesus’ birthday should be celebrated. In contrast, there is a specific command to commemorate his death, which Jehovah’s Witnesses do once a year. (Luke 22:19) That is one way to honor Jesus. On the last night of his human life, Jesus said: “You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you.” (John 15:14) He also said: “If you love me, you will observe my commandments.” (John 14:15) Clearly, there is no better way to honor Jesus Christ than to learn and follow his teachings. PLEASE NOTE Although Jehovah witnesses choose not to celebrate Christmas,  we respect each person’s right to decide for himself in this matter. We do not interfere in the Christmas celebrations of others. Please visit jw.org for more information
  3. FEAR CIRCLES THE EARTH! - IS THIS THE CREATORS PROMISE FOR MAN TO LIVE IN FEAR? - ??????????? Jehovah promised concerning his people: “They will build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, nor will they plant for others to eat.” (Isa. 65:21, 22) Security. At long last, the heartwarming word picture painted at Isaiah 11:6-9 will see a complete fulfillment even in a literal sense. Men, women, and children will be safe and secure wherever they go on earth. No creature, whether human or animal, will pose any threat. Imagine a time when you will see this entire planet as your home, where you can swim in the rivers, lakes, and seas; traverse the mountain ranges; and roam the grasslands in complete safety. And when night falls, you will not worry. The words of Ezekiel 34:25 will come true, so that it will even be possible for GodÂ’s people to “dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.” - Bible Speaks - https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402017326?q=acts+5%3A29&p=par Photo by @mmuheisen (Muhammed Muheisen) Two refugees from Peshawar, Pakistan sit around a fire to warm themselves from the morning cold in an abandoned warehouse where they and other refugees took refuge in Belgrade, Serbia.Â
  4. News The New World Translation is absolutely forbidden in Russia. ? Brothers not only can't meet, or preach, but now that they find our Bible, they go to jail. On 20 December 2017 at 21:55, the leningrad regional court confirmed the decision of the city court of vyborg to recognize the Russian translation of the Bible by Jehovah's witnesses as "extremist material". The Representatives of the right-Holder intend to appeal this decision. Such erroneous judicial decisions on the recognition of certain extremist printed materials are the basis for all accusations of extremism against Jehovah's witnesses, as well as the basis of the court's decision. On the liquidation and prohibition of all registered organizations of this religion and the confiscation of their property in the revenue of the state. The Court's ridiculous decision to ban the bible itself clearly demonstrated the perversity of mechanisms to recognize the divine services of witnesses, including incompetent or openly biased expert opinions and the violation of the law of court decisions. In 2014, the situation with the experience and legal procedures in relation to the sacred text has attracted the attention of the president of Russia, so he made a legislative initiative - to protect the sacred books of different religions, including the bible , the action of anti-extremist legislation (in other words, the incompetence of prosecutors, experts and judges). However, even this did not help to save one of the bible translations from yesterday's court decision. International organizations have repeatedly called on Russia to abandon the existing list of extremist materials, to review and revoke court rulings against Jehovah's witnesses, who are currently being subjected to unfair treatment on the basis of such judicial decisions. https://jw-russia.org/news/17122109-280.html
  5. SONG 6 The Heavens Declare God’s Glory ~ ???? (Psalm 19) 1. The heavens tell the glory of Jehovah. The work of his own hand, we see in skies above. And each new day brings to him rightful praise. The starlit night proclaims his might, His wisdom, and his love. 2. JehovahÂ’s law is perfect, life-restoring, And his reminders guide the steps of old and young. His rulings prove to be true, right, and just. His word is sure, his law so pure, So sweet upon the tongue. 3. The fear of God is pure and lasts forever. The worth of his commands exceeds the finest gold. His orders lead and preserve all his own. His honor, fame, and holy name, We loyally uphold. (See also Ps. 111:9; 145:5; Rev. 4:11.) Â Bible Speaks - ??? Tap on Video Link mp4 ________? C8A94E5E-4D9F-4EC5-AF9E-BAF9D0D612EF.MOV

  8. Don't let fear and anger, grief, worry, stress take over your body....they destroy the body! - We have a resting place with Jehovah! - The wicked will be shown up! - ???? We need to Pray for deliverance and put it in Jehovah's hands....He says: "They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said. This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool." (1 Peter 3:10-18) . . .For, “he that would love life and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from what is bad and [his] lips from speaking deception, 11 but let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For [the] eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous ones, and his ears are toward their supplication; but [the] face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.” 13 Indeed, who is the man that will harm YOU if YOU become zealous for what is good? 14 But even if YOU should suffer for the sake of righteousness, YOU are happy." - Bible Speaks JW.ORG
  9. Do you FEEL these Blessings yet? - We MUST Rejoice in the Faith! ~ Think about YOUR BLESSINGS, your World will turn around! ~ ??????? (Proverbs 10:6-7) . . .Blessings are for the head of the righteous one, but as regards the mouth of the wicked ones, it covers up violence. 7 The remembrance of the righteous one is due for a blessing, but the very name of the wicked ones will rot." (Proverbs 28:20) . . .A man of faithful acts will get many blessings, but he that is hastening to gain riches will not remain innocent." (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) . . .“And it must occur that if you will without fail listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by being careful to do all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God also will certainly put you high above all other nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings must come upon you and overtake you, because you keep listening to the voice of Jehovah your God." (Jeremiah 17:7-8) . . .Blessed is the able-bodied man who puts his trust in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah has become. 8 And he will certainly become like a tree planted by the waters, that sends out its roots right by the watercourse; and he will not see when heat comes, but his foliage will actually prove to be luxuriant. And in the year of drought he will not become anxious, nor will he leave off from producing fruit." (Daniel 2:20-23) . . .Daniel was answering and saying: “Let the name of God become blessed from time indefinite even to time indefinite, for wisdom and mightiness—for they belong to him. 21 And he is changing times and seasons, removing kings and setting up kings, giving wisdom to the wise ones and knowledge to those knowing discernment. 22 He is revealing the deep things and the concealed things, knowing what is in the darkness; and with him the light does dwell. 23 To you, O God of my forefathers, I am giving praise and commendation, because wisdom and mightiness you have given to me. . . ." (Matthew 21:9) . . .: “Save, we pray, the Son of David! Blessed is he that comes in JehovahÂ’s name! Save him, we pray, in the heights above!” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) . . .Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Amen ???????
  10. "Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved." (Rom. 10:13) ~ ????? In the Middle Ages, God’s personal name was rather widely known in Europe. That name, represented by four Hebrew letters called the Tetragrammaton and commonly transliterated YHWH (or JHVH), appeared on coins, on facades of houses, in many books and Bibles, and even in some Catholic and Protestant churches. However, the trend in recent times is to eliminate the name of God from Bible translations and from other uses. One indication of this is the Letter to the BishopsÂ’ Conferences on ‘the Name of God,Â’ dated June 29, 2008. In it the Roman Catholic Church advised that the Tetragrammaton in its various renderings should be replaced by “Lord” and that GodÂ’s personal name should not be used in hymns and prayers during Catholic religious services. And the leaders of other religions inside and outside of Christendom have also hidden the identity of the true God from millions upon millions of worshippers. - Bible Speaks - w11 1/15 1:6, 9
  11. Syrian Writer Taciano Agreed On Accuracy Of Four Gospels ~ ??? Many researchers have compared and ordered the events of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. ??? That was what the Syrian writer Taciano did, who recognized that these four books were accurate and had been inspired by God. Around 170 he wrote the Diatessaron, a work that combines in a single story the events of Jesus' life and ministry.
  12. LET JEHOVAH GUIDE YOU WHEN MAKING DECISIONS ~ ? ? ? ? ? When we have to make a decision, we first need to think about what Bible principles can help us and how we can apply them. In some cases, we may want to do more research in our publications or even ask an elder for advice. He could help us to think about other Bible principles. Imagine this situation: A sister is married to someone who is not a Witness. She plans to go out in the ministry on a particular day. (Acts 4:20) But on that day, her husband does not want her to go preaching. He tells her that they have not spent much time together lately and that he would like to take her out somewhere. So the sister considers Bible verses that can help her make a wise decision. She knows that she must obey God and that Jesus commanded us to make disciples. (Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 5:29) But she also remembers that a wife should be in subjection to her husband and that God’s servants must be reasonable. (Ephesians 5:22-24; Philippians 4:5) Is her husband trying to stop her from preaching, or does he just want to spend time with her that day? As JehovahÂ’s servants, we want to make decisions that are reasonable and that please him. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402017326?q=acts+5%3A29&p=par

  14. THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES(NWT) BAN APPEAL REJECTED BY LENINGARD REGIONAL COURT. NEW WORLD TRANSLATION REMAINS  BANNED IN RUSSIA. On December 20,2017, the Leningrad Regional Court denied our appeal of the Vyborg City Court’s August ruling that banned the Russian-language New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT), declaring it an extremist publication..... When questioned, one of the court-appointed experts further defended her original claim by stating that the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures cannot be considered a Bible unless it is marked "by the blessing of the patriarch"( head of Russian Orthodox Church)  or matches word for word with such a translation. The “experts” also objected to the use of God’s personal name, Jehovah, and claimed that the text of the NWT does not support certain church dogma. The judge rejected any motion by the defense for a new unbiased expert study of the NWT........ After their appeal was rejected today, our brothers have no other remedy available within the Russian legal system and will submit the case to the European Court of Human Rights. Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are confident that no human institution can succeed in wiping out God’s Word and that present attempts to prevent its spread will ultimately fail.

  16. WHY WE MUST STRUGGLE: ~ ????? A biology teacher was teaching his students how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon. But no one should help the butterfly. Then he left. ????? The students were waiting and it happened. The butterfly struggled to get out of the cocoon, and one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the cocoon against the advice of his teacher. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it didn't have to struggle anymore. But shortly afterwards the butterfly died. ????? When the teacher returned, he was told what happened. He explained to this student that by helping the butterfly, he had actually killed it because it is a law of nature that the struggle to come out of the cocoon actually helps develop and strengthen its wings. The boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died. ????? Apply this same principle to our lives. Nothing worthwhile in life comes without a struggle. As parents we tend to hurt the ones we love most because we don't allow them to struggle to gain strength. ????? "Stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God."— (Rom. 12:2) - Bible Speaks — ContributedÂ

  21. Jesus’ Birth — How It Brings Peace ~ ??? “Glory in the heights above to God, and upon earth peace among men of goodwill.”Luke 2:14 THE proclamation of “peace among men of goodwill” was not the only prophecy connected with JesusÂ’ birth. In addition to what the angels announced to the astonished shepherds, heavenly messengers had made divinely inspired declarations about the newborn Jesus to Mary and her husband, Joseph. A consideration of these messages will enable us to gain a broader perspective on JesusÂ’ birth and to understand the real significance behind the angelic promise of peace among men. It was indeed “good news of a great joy” for humankind when the angels announced the birth of “a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10, 11) This child was to be the Messiah, the great Prophet and Ruler that GodÂ’s people had long been expecting. (Deuteronomy 18:18) A prophet I shall raise up for them from the midst of their brothers, like you; and I shall indeed put my words in his mouth, and he will certainly speak to them all that I shall command him." (Micah 5:2) “And you, O Beth?le·hem Eph?ra·thah, the one too little to get to be among the thousands of Judah, from you there will come out to me the one who is to become ruler in Israel, whose origin is from early times, from the days of time indefinite." His life and death on earth would be central to the vindication of JehovahÂ’s universal sovereignty, so that the angels could say: “Glory in the heights above to God.”—Luke 2:14. Please note that the angels did not tell the shepherds of peace and goodwill to all men. Rather, they announced “peace among men of goodwill.” That is to say, among those who are approved by God and have his goodwill. Those who express genuine faith in Jehovah become faithful followers and imitators of Jesus. Such men and women are willing to manifest generosity and understanding toward others, not just a few days each year, but every day. Would you like to learn how to become this "men of goodwill"? Jehovah's Witnesses will be happy to help you learn about this.

  22. Bernard Law, ex-Boston archbishop disgraced by priest sex abuse scandal, dies at 86 by Alastair Jamieson and Anne ThompsonDec 20 2017, 7:30 am ET Cardinal Bernard Law, the disgraced ex-archbishop of Boston whose failure to stop child molesters in the priesthood sparked a global crisis in Roman Catholicism, died Wednesday in Rome, Vatican officials announced Wednesday. He was 86. Law passed away "early this morning after a long illness," the Holy See said in a statement. One of the most important leaders in the U.S. church until scandal led to his resignation, Law was hugely influential as a confidante of Pope John Paul II, and was a regular visitor to the White House under President George W. Bush. But in January 2002, The Boston Globe began a series of reports based on church records that showed Law had transferred abusive clergy among parish assignments for years without alerting parents or police. Within months of the reports, which were recounted in the movie "Spotlight," Catholics around the country demanded to know whether their bishops had done the same. Mitchell Garabedian, an attorney who represented dozens of people who say they were sexually abused by priests, said Law's death has reopened old wounds. "Bernard Law could have prevented many children from being sexually abused," he said in a statement to NBC News. "He knew what Father John Geoghan had done and he refused to notify the public. He refused to protect the innocent. Law's death is a reminder — his name is salt in the wound of many victims." In the case that started the scandal, the Globe reported that Law and two of his predecessors as Boston archbishop had moved Geoghan between parishes despite knowing that he molested children. More than 130 people eventually came forward to say Geoghan had abused them. The archdiocese paid $10 million in settlements with 86 of his victims and their relatives even as Law was clinging to his job. Alexa MacPherson, who says she was a victim of clergy sex abuse for six years as a child, had no words of sorrow at the news of Law's death. "Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope the gates of hell are swinging wide to allow him entrance," she told The Associated Press. "I won't shed a tear for him — I might shed a tear for everyone who's been a victim under him." http://nbcnews.to/2B4Vzvc Click on site above for Video ?
  23. “Roots That Cannot Be Dislodged” ~ ????? A good man cannot, of course, be unrighteous or unjust. So righteousness is also necessary for gaining JehovahÂ’s approval. King David sang: “You yourself will bless anyone righteous, O Jehovah; as with a large shield, with approval you will surround them.” (Psalm 5:12) Contrasting the condition of the righteous with that of the wicked, Solomon says: “No man will be firmly established by wickedness; but as for the root-foundation of the righteous ones, it will not be caused to stagger.”—Proverbs 12:3. The wicked may seem to prosper. Consider the experience of the psalmist Asaph. “As for me,” he says, “my feet had almost turned aside, my steps had nearly been made to slip.” Why? Asaph answers: “I became envious of the boasters, when I would see the very peace of wicked people.” (Psalm 73:2, 3) But as he proceeded to come into the temple sanctuary of God, he came to realize that on slippery ground is where Jehovah had placed them. (Psalm 73:17, 18) Any success that the wicked may seem to achieve is temporary. Why should we be envious of them? In contrast, the one who has JehovahÂ’s approval is stable. Using the metaphor of a strong root system of a tree, Solomon says: “Good men have roots that cannot be dislodged.” (Proverbs 12:3, The New English Bible) The unseen roots of a giant tree, such as the sequoia of California, may cover an area of several acres and can provide solid anchorage in the face of flood and high winds. A towering sequoia can even withstand a powerful earthquake. Like such roots in earthÂ’s nourishing soil, our minds and hearts need to delve expansively into GodÂ’s Word and draw from its life-giving waters. Our faith thus becomes firmly rooted and strong, our hope sure and firm. (Hebrews 6:19) We will not be “carried hither and thither by every wind of [false] teaching.” (Ephesians 4:14) Of course, we will feel the effects of stormy trials and may even tremble in the face of adversity. But our ‘root-foundation will not be caused to stagger.Â’ https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2003047
  24. All Nations and Races will Learn about Jehovah! - ??? “In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream.  3 And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem.  4 He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore.”—Isaiah 2:2-4.
