Yesterday I responded to a months-old comment, here, about putting Charles Taze Russell on a pedestal, and it was under the wrong topic, so I am moving it here, and editing and splitting it into two or three comments because it is so long. The part about "canonizing" refers to the God's Kingdom Rules book, *** kr chap. 2 pp. 13-14 pars. 3-6 The Kingdom Is Born in Heaven *** For instance, consider the prophecy of Malachi 3:1: “Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will clear up a way before me. And suddenly the true Lord, whom you are seeking, will come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant will come, in whom you take delight.” In the modern-day fu…

Who taught this Jack Fish ? how to protect itself? - A Master Creator Jehovah! - Amazing Photo! ~ ????? Photo by @daviddoubilet A small jack rides on a jellyfish seeking protection from predators in a night sea in the Verde Island Passage, Philippines. Eventually the juvenile fish will grow large enough to become predator instead of prey. We lower lights into the sea over very deep areas attracting creatures that come to feed on the plankton drawn to the lights. The sea is an alien world at night where we meet hunters and the hunted and some unusual larval creatures appearing from the depths below us.

New Whistleblower Site FaithLeaks Releases Confidential Documents About Child Sexual Abuse in Jehovah’s Witnesses Community

The founders of MormonLeaks, a transparency organization that has released hundreds of controversial documents related to inner-workings of the Mormon Church, recently launched FaithLeaks, an ambitious and far-reaching project that aims to expose corruption and abuse across other religious organizations. Today, the new group has published dozens of pages of documents related to sexual assault allegations within the Jehovah’s Witness Church, documents which are presumably part of a database that church officials have refused to relinquish in an unrelated sexual molestation trial, resulting in a one and a half year legal battle and millions of dollars in fines. The 69 …

Serena Williams says her mother encouraged her with Scripture when the tennis star suffered from physical and emotional struggles following her pregnancy. In an interview with Vogue magazine that appeared online Wednesday, the 36-year-old tennis champion revealed that she had to undergo multiple surgeries after her C-section last September. After giving birth to Alexis Olympia, who she shares with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, Williams suffered from blood clots in her lungs and abdomen. Williams has had a history of dealing with blood clots, but stopped taking her blood thinning medication to heal from her C-section wounds. Soon after gi…

Clothing and Appearance of John the Baptist - ????? (Matthew 3: 4) But this same John had his clothes of camel hair, and a leather belt around the loins; their food was also insect locusts and wild honey. John wore a garment woven with camel hair and cinched at the waist with a belt or leather band that could be used to carry small objects. The prophet Elijah used a similar garment (2Ki 1: 8.) The camel hair fabrics were rough and were generally worn by poor people. Rich people, on the other hand, wore linen or silk clothes (Mt 11: 7-9). John might never have had his hair cut because he was a Nazarite by birth. It is possible that, by their dress and appe…

Times of Difficulty ask for Help and Strength to Endure! The End is not yet! ~ ? Prayer to Jehovah is Essential.... Like Micah, we have to live among selfish people. Many are “unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection.” (2 Tim. 3:2, 3) We find it distressing when workmates, schoolmates, and neighbors show a self-centered attitude. Some of GodÂ’s servants, though, have an even greater challenge. Jesus said that his followers would face family opposition, and he used words similar to those recorded at Micah 7:6 to describe the impact that his message would have. “I came to cause division,” said Jesus, “with a man against his father, and …

Dr. Michael Langone, has done considerable research in the field of mind-manipulating movements. He's identified some key traits that cultish movements reveal themselves. Steve Hassan, a former cult member and one of the leading experts of cults has also contributed a lot to the field. Both of these men have helped in identifying the tell-tale signs of cult mentality.     What they say: "Cult members are “focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.” The leader is a strong-willed, domineering character who rules the group with tight control. He lets it be known in subtle ways that he is in charge …

ONLY JEHOVAH CAN SAVE THE TURTLES! ????????????? RISING TEMPERATURES CAUSE SEA TURTLES TO TURN FEMALE By Craig Welch PUBLISHED JANUARY 8, 2018 The turtle wranglers landed on Ingram Island thinking about sex and heat. Pacific green sea turtles spend years cruising this northern Australia feeding ground, fattening up on sea grasses before heading to nesting areas to mate and lay eggs. The scientists simply wanted to know: which of these reptiles were male and which were female? You can't always tell a sea turtle's sex by looking, so researchers kicked off a "turtle rodeo." They stood atop skiffs and raced toward swimming turtles and launched themselves …

:)) I apologize, but wish to react on this "fraze", on this "fama" from WT Company. In Prov 4:18 we read this; "The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day." First of all the main point here is THE PATH and not the light! Path of some person (righteous one) can go in good direction only with help from higher Source (the light aka God and this LIGHT is NOT CHANGEABLE as it is JW light of/on interpretations. Light from god is the same in all stages of the day - no shadows. In literal meaning of Proverbs, daylight gets brighter because of sun. But this light changes his intensity in the same day. U…

We all received . . . undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness.—John 1:16. A winegrower went to the marketplace early one morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. The men he found agreed to the wage he offered and went to work. The owner needed more workers, however, and returned to the marketplace throughout the day to hire more and more men, offering a fair wage even to those whom he hired at the end of the afternoon. When evening came, he gathered the workers together to give them their wages, and he gave the same amount to each of them, whether they had labored many hours or just one. When those first hired realized this, they complained. The winegrower r…

Why Birds Fly in V-Formation? ~ ??????? Researchers now have empirical evidence that birds such as geese and pelicans “fly in V-shaped formations to reduce drag and save energy on long migrations,” says The Daily Telegraph of London, in discussing a report from Nature magazine. Scientists from the National Centre of Scientific Research in Villiers en Bois, France, measured the heart rates of eight pelicans flying in V-formation and then compared these figures with their “wing beats and flight patterns.” The researchers found that the birdsÂ’ heart rates dropped when in formation and that they beat their wings less frequently than when flying solo, even …

“This is the heritage of JehovahÂ’s servants.”—ISAIAH 54:17, Byington. ????? Satan has tried to destroy the Bible, prevent people from knowing JehovahÂ’s name, and hide the truth. But Satan has failed Jehovah has made sure that we can know the truth today. And he keeps helping us to learn more about the truth. (2 John 1, 2) This is what we learn from Proverbs 4:18, which says: “The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established.” Jesus said in a prayer to God: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) The Bible has “the truth of the good news,” which is all the facts that we …
