Blasphemy laws from Catholic church!

Another international blow to the Russian government oppressor of Jehovah's Witnesses
The organization of human rights without borders has presented a speech in the OSCE (organization for security and cooperation in Europe), raising the issue of the persecution of Jehovah's witnesses in Russia at the conference and called it " the most heinous violation Of religious freedom in the euro-Atlantic region after the fall of the USSR."
They have also denounced the unjust prison that is enduring our brother Dennis Christensen
The Russian government and its lover the orthodox sect are doing what they want, but the entire planet is knowing what they've tried to hide.

Rules that the American Catholic sect is giving to their parishioners to get rid of Jehovah's witnesses.
Would you be able to rebut these almost military standards?
________________________________
Interaction with a Jehovah's witness
Answer the door. This may seem counter-intuitive to get rid of someone, but the fact is, if you don't answer the door, it's likely to mark you as "no house" and come back in the near future. If you really want to get rid of them, you'll have to answer the door and let them know.
Interrupt. Sounds rude, but it doesn't have to be. It is likely to deepen your command sequence and it will only be more difficult to get a word Polly interrupt to take control of the conversation.
When a Jehovah's witness begins to speak, interrupt with an educated gesture: "excuse me" to draw your attention.
Try to raise your hand and keep it between the two at the chest level with the palm of your hand to the other person and start your interjection with "wait".
If you wait until the Jehovah's witness asks a question, you can simply reply with: "I would rather not have this conversation".
Be honest. If you make up a reason not to want to talk to them, you can see this as an invitation to come back another time. This also starts a conversation.
Be honest and direct with your answer to get your point through and avoid one of your starters of the conversation.
Avoid making excuses. They are trained to respond to specific protests and may consider coming back in the future if they are too busy right now.
We politely. Choose very few words to reject your invitation to speak. It's unnecessary to be rude, and arguing will only stimulate the conversation. A simple and polite decline will do the trick.
Once I get a chance to talk, try a simple, "No, thank you".
It can also be direct saying, " I'm not interested, thank you."
Close the door. Don't hit him in the face, but I understand you've been trained to keep the conversation. Once I have rejected, close the door gently. This is important, because, like the caretakers or any lawyer, they are not likely to accept the first, "no" and will do everything possible to return to you.
Closing the door may be the only way to end the conversation.
If this feels rude to you, try to say, "I'm sorry" when you close the door.

YES! I think it's wonderful! I hope this becomes common. I've noticed a lot of women are doing roles like passing out literature now.

In a foreign language group I know of the sisters are used to read the Watchtower, control the sound equipment etc because there are not enough qualified brothers.
I don't see why sisters should not be more extensively used in a standard congregation setting as long as it does not involve teaching from the platform, (yes I am a brother).

As Muppet Ralph the Dog sez:
"Can't live with 'em ... can't live without 'em ..."

"No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him."—John 6:44. 
?????
Jesus—“The Bread of Life”
He explains: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not get hungry at all, and whoever exercises faith in me will never get thirsty at all. But as I said to you, you have even seen me and yet do not believe. . . . I have come down from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that I should resurrect them on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life.”—John 6:35-40.
?????
It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by Jehovah.’ Everyone who has listened to the Father and has learned comes to me. Not that any man has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; this one has seen the Father. Most truly I say to you, whoever believes has everlasting life.”—John 6:43-47; Isaiah 54:13.

If Jesus Is God, Then...
1) Why did he say "the father has granted him life"(John 5:26)
2) Why did he say "nor have I come for my own initiative, no, but that one that sent me"? (John 8:42; 1 John 4:9)
3) Why did Jesus say he did not know the day or the time of great tribulation, but only the father? (Matthew 24:36)
4) Whom did Jesus pray to?(Matthew 27:46)
5) To whom did Jesus enter "in heaven himself, to appear now in front of the person of God in favor of us"? (Hebrews  9:24)
6) Why Jesus said "the father is greater  than I am"? (John 14:28)
7) Who spoke from heaven in Jesus baptism saying "this is my son"? (Matthew 3:17)
8) Who raised Jesus to a higher position? (Philippians 2:9, 10)
9) How can Jesus be a "Mediator between God and men"? (1 Tim. 2:5)
10) Why the Apostle Paul says "God is the head of Christ"? (1 cor. 11:3)
11) Why did Jesus say that " he delivers the kingdom to his God " and " the son himself will also be subject to the one who held him all things "? (1 cor 15:24, 28)
12) Who was he referring to when he said  "I am ascending to my father... and  to my God "? (John 20:17)
13) How would he sit at the right hand of God? (Psalm 109:1; HEB. 10:12, 13)
14) Why did the apostle John says "to God no one has ever seen him"? (John 1:18)
15) Why didn't people die when they saw Jesus? (Exodus 20:30)
16) How could Jesus be dead and still God stay alive? (Acts 2:24)
17) Why did he need someone who could save him? (HEB. 5:7)
18) Who was Jesus referring to at Proverbs 8:22-31?
19) Why did Jesus say "all power has been given to me in heaven and earth"? who gave him that power? (Matthew 28:18; Daniel 7:13, 14)
20) Who did he offer "supplications and also petitions, with strong outcry" to? (HEB. 5:7)
21) Why was he referred to as "God's son who learned obedience  and be perfect"?  (HEB. 5:8, 9)
22) How could an angel strengthen him if he was God? (Luke 22:43; Matthew 4:11)
23) Why did satan try to tempt him if he knew Jesus / God? (Matthew 4:1-11)
24) When Jesus was sent to earth, it was made "a little lower than angels" (HEB. 2:7) how could any part of the deity be inferior to angels?
25) If Jesus was the same God, against whom satan tempted him to rebel? Can God be tempted to rebel against himself? (Matthew 4:1)
26) Before the end of his earthly life, Jesus cried: "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me"? (Matthew 24:46) can God abandon or forget himself?
27) Hebrews 5:8 says that Jesus learned obedience. Why did he have to learn obedience, if he was God?
28) God's righteousness is perfect (Exodus 21:23-25). The Ransom price for a perfect human is a perfect man. The life of an imperfect man would not be enough to pay the ransom (Psalm 48:8). If Jesus was God, it was not then the price paid too high? 
(29)Why was he seeking to please God? (John 5:30)
(30)Why did he say only God can be called "good"? (Mark 10:18)
(31)In Matthew 6:9 Jesus said
"Our Father, which art in Heaven"..  
Why did he not pray, Our Father, which art standing right here 
(32)James 1:13: "When tempted, no one should say, God is tempting me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt any anyone.. 
Since Jesus was tempted why did he say God cannot be tempted?

The Amazing Male Mouthbrooding Jawfish — such as the mottled (seen in the fourth photo with spikes on the side of its head from a fireworm attack), the yellowhead, the banded, and the cardinalfish seen here — use their mouths to protect their eggs until the fry hatch. 
Mouthbrooding fish are able to produce smaller numbers of offspring with a higher chance of survival than species that offer no broodcare. the males, however, are not able to eat during this period of incubation (which can last anywhere from one to three weeks), but will open their mouths, spitting the eggs out and then sucking them back in to keep them clean and aerated. 
Wonderful Creation of Jehovah God!

RUSSIA UPDATE.. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES APPEAL TO THE PRESIDIUM OF THE SUPREME COURT OF RUSSIA AGAINST DECLARING THEM AS AN "EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION" 
Lawyers of Jehovah's Witnesses filed a supervisory complaint against the decision of the Supreme Court to liquidate and ban all 396 registered religious organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. The complaint is scheduled for consideration by the Presidium of the Supreme Court of Russia within 3 months.
Believers are asked to completely abolish the decision of the Supreme Court of April 20, 2017 and suspend its execution until the end of the proceedings in the court of the supervisory instance.
The decision of the Supreme Court of Russia, unjustifiably attributed to the "extremists" whole religion, has already resulted in the most negative consequences for believers in the form of dismissals, waves of religious hatred, attacks, police raids, criminal cases and imprisonment of innocent people.
https://jw-russia.org/news/17091115-214.html
The international community unanimously condemned this decision of the court. https://jw-russia.org/news/17090417-212.html

THE TROUBLE TREE ???????
(Prov 11:30)
"The fruitage of the righteous one is a tree of life, and he that is winning souls is wise."  
?????????
I hired a carpenter to help me restore an old farmhouse. He had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, the electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me to meet his family.
?????????
As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
?????????
Afterwards he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again." "Funny thing is," he smiled, " when I come out in the morning to pick "em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
