Do the elders need my express permission to share my Advance Decision Document with one another or with any outside party? I am told that the secretary needs to keep these locked away and under the control of another elder when he travels. Does he need special permission from each member of the congregation to do such a transfer? I can only assume they will be kept in paper form and not in electronic format. That would open a whole set of electronic laws. Anyone know more details? One elder wrote the following letter: http://postimg.org/image/kwb4p5k0j/

The angels led a young 16 year old brother who has been driven away from home by his father because of his faith to Jehovah. This little brother with a very strong faith has been praying serval times to Jehovah to help him establish contact again with the witnesses again since this is a “need great” territory and you seldomly find witnesses around. He even said a prayer about it this morning. His prayer were answered this afternoon!

A nice addition to our blood - document... Keep abstaining . . . from blood.—Acts 15:29. Any one of us could suddenly find ourselves facing the blood issue. Or a family member or dear friend could unexpectedly be confronted with the issue of whether to accept a blood transfusion or not. During such a crisis, decisions also need to be made regarding blood fractions and medical procedures. Therefore, it is very important to do research and prepare for a possible emergency. Along with prayer, such measures will help us to take a firm stand and avoid compromising on the matter. Surely we do not want to sadden Jehovah’s heart by accepting something that his Word cond…

I wonder why not poor witness get money help of rich witness. In africa the poor have not food every day, and not bed, they sleep on floor ad litle animals go on they in night. And they preach very much. So they shoud get help from rich witness that use enormous money on holidays and things. It look like Jesus think about poor people when he was on earth. 4 But Judas Is·carʹi·ot,+ one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said: 5 “Why was this perfumed oil not sold for 300 de·narʹi·i* and given to the poor?”6 He said this, though, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief and had the money box and used to steal the mo…

Jehovah's Witnesses' Properties For Sale - Rising Costs Force Religious Group To Go Small
by Guest Nicole- 0 replies
- 2.3k views
A cash crunch is forcing the Jehovah's Witnesses Church in Jamaica to join its colleagues around the world in offloading some of its real estate as part of cost-saving measures. The church is selling some of its larger temples and other buildings, as it tries to operate from smaller, less expensive, and easier to maintain facilities. One large temple, located on Cowper Drive, close to Washington Boulevard in St Andrew, is among the properties on sale, and sources say the religious group is asking $45 million for the property. Four other auditoriums, on Elletson Road and Giltress Street in east Kingston, one in Waterhouse, and one in August Town, St Andrew, …

Komil Odilov was arrested in Novosibirsk and Oleg Kim in Blagoveshchensk in December 2015, Ziyavdin Dapayev and Sukhrab Kultuyev in Makhachkala and Andrei Dedkov in Krasnoyarsk in March 2016, Forum 18 News Service has learned.

Former Nuns Become True Spiritual Sisters

“STOP talking to me,” Araceli, my younger sister, shouted. “I don’t want to listen to anything else about your religion. It makes me feel sick. I hate you!” Even at 91 years of age, I can still remember how painful it was to hear those words. But as Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, “better is the end of a matter than its beginning,” and that was true in our case.—Felisa. Felisa: I came from a very devout family. In fact, 13 of our relatives were priests or members of Catholic orders. Pope John Paul II even beatified my mother’s cousin, a priest who taught in a Catholic school. Ours was also a humble family. My father was a blacksmith, and my mother worked in the fields. I was …

Flypaper Plant (Pinguicula gigantea), an alternate to Mosquito Repellent, GO GREEN.. Call them opportunists, but butterworts – also known as flypaper plants – will grab hold of anything that lands on their leaves and immediately start digesting it. The flypaper trap is based on a sticky mucilage, or glue. The leaf of flypaper traps is studded with mucilage-secreting glands. The upper surface of the plant is covered in sticky digestive enzymes to trap victims like mosquitoes and gnats, but it can also absorb nutrients from pollen. Jehovah thought of everything.
