Bible Speaks

While some of our brothers are not the sharpest tools in the drawer, I doubt this is because of their Witness training. More likely, their Witness training sharpens their skills.
You have only to look at the news media or political world, where highly educated persons routinely reveal  themselves to be dumber than plants. If our people conduct themselves unwisely on the internet, so does everyone else. 
Enemies will always find something to pounce on. if two letters go to the judge, whether they actually stem from our people or not, haters can seize upon those two letters and ignore the 50 million others. It happens all the time in the political world and most other venues.

@TrueTomHarley Pray about it, I will. We have the most miraculous power in the Universe, Jehovah can perform miracles if a donkey can speak and 1 angel can destroy 185,000 in one night! We are in for fireworks ? Remember at the edge of the Red Sea? It seemed hopeless? Jehovah is a mighty warrior and we have never witnessed His power! We will all be amazed and proud of who we are! Pick up the weak and carry them, they maybe complainers but Jehovah knows their heart. Life is a bowl ? of cherries ? with the pits! Let's pray for strength for the Brotherhood and proclaim Jehovah's Name loud and clear. No fear He is near!
?????⚔️???

If this is reverent use it? Thank you 

".........It really does seem that the court has already made up its mind and is just going through the motions of a trial."
After reading through the transcript, they were exactly my thoughts as well..........up to this point it just seems rather farcical........every request by the defence is denied........and that is justice!!!!          I guess considering the times we are living in, we should expect no more.
There is of course one thing that we can be sure of, and that is, whatever Jehovah wills, will be done.

@John Lindsay Barltrop With Nations opposed to God's Kingdom and Satan causing more pain and sorrow we know soon it will come to the Great Day! We know many prophecies will take place before our eyes. Keep strong and in Jehovah's Love and pray for all. Let your Kingdom come! Let your will be done. We know Jehovah is in charge, He Loves His People. We keep praying it all comes to His Vindication! Agape, Bible Speaks     ????

@JW Insider This is 100% correct, and anyone interested in religious freedom, Jehovah's Witnesses or not, should be interested in what we are doing here. We could probably find people to join us in the campaign who are not even JWs.
I agree the WORLD IS WATCHING! I have many concerned following me from churches and Pastors. They will learn who we are and WHO JEHOVAH is! This is Big and other countries may do the same based on what happens here. We know when it's perfect timing Jehovah God will have His Name Proclaimed throughout the earth, the Nations will know I am Jehovah! Then destruction comes. My favorite verses are Psalms chapter 2 where Jehovah says, 
"Why are the nations agitated And the peoples muttering* an empty thing?
 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And high officials gather together*as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one.
 3 They say: “Let us tear off their shackles And throw off their ropes!”
 4 The One enthroned in the heavens will laugh; Jehovah will scoff at them.
 5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger And terrify them in his burning anger,
 6 Saying: “I myself have installed my king On Zion, my holy mountain.”
 7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah; He said to me: “You are my son; Today I have become your father.
 8 Ask of me, and I will give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your possession.
 9 You will break them with an iron scepter, And you will smash them like a piece of pottery.”
10 So now, you kings, show insight; Accept correction, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Honor the son, or God will become indignant And you will perish from the way, For His anger flares up quickly. Happy are all those taking refuge in Him."
We are living in exciting times! Jehovah will bless His people! His name will be vindicated forever! Keep close to Jehovah! He will never fail His purpose His Kingdom through Christ Jesus will usher in His New Government soon! Thank you, Bible Speaks ???

@Anna Perhaps you should only stick to jw.org? People can like their own opinions and posts. Many do sharing their own opinions, but contrast to other sites, this is called theworldnewsmedia.org There is no confusion. If something offends you perhaps stay around from the post. Many work hard here to share their thoughts. So please don't offend yourself from asking them to have your opinions. We are all accountable and many do very well in their work. Agape, Bible Speaks ???

@Anna Liking something it like giving it second approval. Or the saying "so be it!" Think of the positives here, we only care about others, we "like" to encourage all. Thank you for "liking" us too!               Agape, Bible Speaks ???

@Dennis Gilman I agree! Of course they won't read the letters. However, if they got 49,000.000 letters total, each official got 6 x 8,220,000 Witnesses, even young ones, it will send out a LOUD ANNOUNCEMENT to the Russian Federation and Putin that look at the response! They thought they were only dealing with 175,000 JW's Russian? No, we are a United People Worldwide and Love are whole family! Numbers will speak that the World is watching, and Jehovah's Witnesses are United with their God Jehovah! To me that shows we are bigger than he thought? He may not know or understand we have the Creator of this Universe behind us! The Nations will soon all know Jehovah! Psalms  chapter 2 says it all.
Agape, Bible Speaks ???

Read Psalm 45:5. The King rides a white horse. Revelation 6:2 says: “I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest.” The white horse represents war that is righteous and approved by God. (Revelation 19:11) Besides a sword, the King also carries abow. Both the sword and the bow represent the methods that Christ will use to destroy his enemies.

RUSSIA
On Video: Experts React to Threat of Ban on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia
On April 5, 2017, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation is expected to rule on whether to liquidate and ban the activity of all legal entities used by Jehovah’s Witnesses throughout Russia. A ruling against the Witnesses would criminalize their worship. Several human rights experts from Russia and abroad comment on the unjust actions of Russian authorities and how a ban on Jehovah’s Witnesses would affect not only the Witnesses but also Russia’s international reputation and religious freedom for its citizens.
    Heiner Bielefeldt: “If Jehovah’s Witnesses are extremist, I think we all are”
    Former UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief
    Dr. Massimo Introvigne: “The only relationship between Jehovah’s Witnesses and violence is that they have been victims of violence”
    Sociologist and Former Representative of the OSCE on Combating Racism, Xenophobia, Discrimination
    Annika Hvithamar: ‘If Jehovah’s Witnesses are extremist, then most versions of Christianity could be accused of the same thing’
    Associate Professor/Head of Studies,  Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen.

Interesting tidbit I came across today.

Did you know that this guy, "Vladimir Lukin" who was for many years the Ombusdman for the Russian Federation and has spoken out many times on behalf of Jehovah's Witnesses (and others) that are being railroaded in the country...
will be at GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY - tomorrow March 24th!
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/conference-25-years-of-us-russia-relations-tickets-32660588700
Read a little about him (Search his name on the page / some references maybe for some letter writing?):
http://russiancouncil.ru/en/author_profile/index.php?author_id_4=156 https://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/eur/136054.htm http://eng.yabloko.ru/People/Luk/lukin1.html#4 https://wwrn.org/articles/33853/ http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1415 http://tinyurl.com/l6wdu45 http://www2.stetson.edu/~psteeves/relnews/160309a.html Interesting, don't you think?

Should the decision go against us, there will be much hand-wringing. We should keep in mind:
(Yikes! On another thread, I am flagged as an abuser and the entire thread is taken down! "Behave, TrueTom!" they said)
Being the Supreme Court, there may be no appeals left. If the decision goes bad on us, our Russian brothers become like the Hebrews 11 Christians, who walked about under duress, 'and the world was not worthy of them.' It happens with good precedent in a world not friendly to Christians. Jesus was not summoned before Pilate to receive a good citizenship plaque, was he?

WHAT IT MEANS TO FIX OUR MINDS ON THE THINGS ABOVE 
Like Our First Century Brothers, We Encounter False Reasonings, Worldly Philosophies, & Materialistic Attitudes In Satan's System of Things As Imitators of Christ Jesus, We Need to be Vigilant In Guarding Such Attacks On Our Spirituality. 
"For we are overturning reasonings and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ." (1 Cor.10:5)  NWT

So avoid anyone named "Who".
What?
No, Who.  What's our second baseman...........................

Sorry typo! Enjoy it now ?

19 "We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." (1 John 5:19) NWT 
 

I  not  need  talking  to  myself,  bec. I  feel  that.  I  also  feel,  if  its  honestly  love  or  not   I  am  able  to  give  alot  love  &  I  mostly  get  it  back  too !  I  am  also  able  giving  much  more  love  as  I  get  back  sometimes...  thats  never  a  problem  for  me.  We  must  try,  giving  so  much  we  can !

All  humans  in  the  world  need  alot  of  this  dose❤
