Refusing to Buy a Party Card Meant Death ~ Could You Stand Up To The Truth? 

Refusing to purchase this party card invited death and persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Malawi, many fleed into exile, it was a tough time!! Glad today we are free of this and we worship free from all bans with Timson Samuel Chimwala

On other hand this two also showed some kind of "neutrality", according to own "conscience". And with WT Company approval, i guess.

“The Joliet, Illinois, “Herald-News” quotes a local spokesman for one group affected by the law as saying: “JehovahÂ’s Witnesses, not only in this country but throughout the world, always take a neutral stand towards the government. ItÂ’s not that we donÂ’t have respect for this country. ItÂ’s just that you wonÂ’t find JehovahÂ’s Witnesses saying a pledge of allegiance to any country.””Watchtower 1980 Feb 15 p.30

It can get worse, but luckily it did not, I know a girl who lives in Egypt, her father was nearly beheaded because he spoke of God, for he was learning. Apparently speaking of God or of one's faith, mainly at this point, Christianity should spell disaster for some people, but it seems the Coptic Church is exempted from that madness.

It can get far worse depending on where you live from minor to major things, even being subjected to occult/black magic and other forms of craziness and gruesome brutality.

Nearly beheaded?

What?  They left a flap of skin?

They crazy glued it back on?

In parts of the country, some people are backed by laws and regulations and preaching to someone, mainly if they are of Islam can land you in some serious trouble, for some people, it is considered justice to exact punishment, some on the other hand thing silencing someone for good is the viable option so one has to be very weary about whom they speak or read the Bible to because you may just win the jackpot with an individual who takes the message the wrong way and thinks a consequence must be in play. In this guy's case, he dodged a bullet, or for this situation, a sword swing for he was informed of what these people who were not a fan of his conversion and what the had to say and these people were going to do something serious, but before they could the man in question was long gone.

Long story short, one has to not just be careful of the area they speak the gospel in, mainly if you are a regular and or live in said area, but one have to be very weary of whom they speak the gospel to, especially those who are not a fan of the gospel, to the extent they would actually do something about it, from minor things to major that is deemed dangerous and or confrontational. For, persecution is like a bag of Skittles mixed in with M&M's. you can pick one and get any color, and you might have one that is a fruity taste or chocolate, so it is down right random and can spin out of control fast for some people in certain areas.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
