    Bigfoot Bible Studies?

    by Pudgy

    If “Bigfoot“ turn out to be human, and they turn out to be articulate, perhaps at an elementary level, should we do witnessing work to them, and hold Bible studies? What if they have super powers, like making all photographs of them blurry?

    Lessons Learned From Movies -  “The Ballad of Cable Hogue” (1970).

    by Pudgy

    Lessons Learned From Movies - “The Ballad of Cable Hogue” (1970). After he is abandoned in the desert without water, Cable Hogue (Jason Robards) wanders for days until he finds a supply of water in a muddy ditch. Determining that the spot is the only spring in the area, Cable decides to start a business offering water for sale to passing stagecoaches, and digs a well. This is the only water for 60 miles, and he does well, watering horses and passengers on a regular basis, in both directions. He also provides meals from the desert, which he makes into a stew so the passengers cannot tell the sources, and serves the food in large prospectors gold panning “pla…

    What is the Body of Christ? 1 2

    by Witness

    I was recently reflecting on the hundreds of miles my husband and I must have hiked, on trails throughout the western states during our married life. I surely miss those times, whether they were easy or strenuous. For me, hiking is a compelling wonder; leading one to fresh scenery, or enjoying once again, beloved destinations that had become dear to my heart. With each trek, we would stop at the trailhead, checking that we had brought the necessary supplies for the journey, securing the laces on our boots, and adjusting the straps of our packs before heading up the trail. I can envision how each of the physical members of my body worked synergistically as I progres…

    The Final Phase of Christ's Presence soon to be revealed... 1 2 3

    by BroRando

    When studying prophecy I have encountered a common denominator. The revealing of prophecy comes with a process. I have not yet come across a single prophecy that has occurred in an immediate fashion. Most make the claim that (Matthew 24:30) can only occur after the Great Tribulation, but let us reason among the surrounding scriptures. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the Son o…

    National Redress Scheme - Australia

    by Srecko Sostar

    Today I opened the official National Redress Scheme website. WT Australia has long refused to join this program. But I see a change. JW has teamed up with many other institutions. Two things are interesting. First: The tacit confirmation of the GB leader that the CSA is an institutional problem within WT Australia (and globally for the whole of WTJWorg). Second: Paying damages to victims is cheaper this way than through litigation. https://www.nationalredress.gov.au/institutions

    VISITING OLD OR SICK ONES THAT YOU KNOW, IN THE CONGREGATION OR NOT.

    by Patiently waiting for Truth

    Some news has just come to me about a JW man (whom I would have once called a brother) that I spent a lot of time with, until he was told not to spend time with me. He was in his mid 80's and on lots of meds' for heart problems etc. He has died in hospital. But if the information is correct, he fell down at his home, was unable to get up, and was not discovered for some time. He was 'old', he was ill, and death happens. But if he had still been in contact with me I may have found him much sooner and he may have lived longer. I'm not angry, I'm not sad, even with all his health problems, he had a good long life and kept himself happy even after his wife had died a fe…

    WHY ARE WE WISE IF WE DISCIPLINE OURSELVES? *** ws18 March p. 28 par. 4 “Listen to Discipline and Become Wise” *** 4 The same is true of people who come to know Jehovah when they are adults. Although they may have some self-discipline, they are not mature Christians yet. But when they start putting on “the new personality” and trying to be like Christ, they become more mature. (Ephesians 4:23, 24) Self-discipline helps us learn “to reject ungodliness and worldly desires and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness and godly devotion amid this present system of things.”—Titus 2:12. (Colossians 3:15-17) 15 Also, let the peace of the Christ rule…

    GEOFFREY JACKSON'S BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE 1 2

    by Witness

    GB member Geoffrey Jackson recently categorized those who would be written, removed, or not written, in the “book of life”. He mentioned the word, “remembrance”, saying it was found in Malachi chapter 3, but avoided reading it. “At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the Lord and had high regard for His name.” Mal 3:16 Perhaps we should concentrate on the context around this scripture, which will describe the state of God’s chosen priesthood today. The anointed servants of Jesus Christ have abandoned his headship, to serve an evil slave a…

    "THE TRUTH DIVIDES"

    by Witness

    I'm sharing this comment made elsewhere by "Joseph". The truth divides (Hebrews 4:12). The truth divides people who hate it, because it exposes their lies from those who are strong enough to embrace it. It divides the cowards, the hypocrites, the idolaters and all the liars who fear it (Rev 21:8), from those powerful enough to take it on the chin and be corrected by it (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 2:25), like the apostle Paul (Acts 9:4; Acts 22:17-21; Acts 23:11). Those who hate the truth hate those who speak it (Amos 5:10; Luke 21:17). Why? Because it exposes their lies. It takes away their power. Those who love truth know there will be severe consequences for speaking i…

    UKRAINE: Historical Context PRIOR to the Current Russia-Ukraine Conflict 1 2 3

    by JW Insider

    In the event of war, American main-stream media (MSM) becomes State Media. MSM outlets can become partisan on public bipartisan issues and might lose half their population of listeners, but at least they believe they will gain loyalty from the remaining half. But with the State apparatus pushing against a common national enemy or antagonist, these outlets can't afford to be seen as anti-American. Today, even attempts at neutrality are seen recently as pro-Putin, and therefore anti-American. BBC journalists who just recently exposed the corruption of ultra-nationalists at all levels of the Ukrainian government are already re-writing their position to claim it's a recently…

    The Second Coming of Christ...

    by BroRando

    The Fulfillment of Prophecies are 'timed events'. For almost two thousand years, faithful followers of Jesus Christ have been in anticipation of his Second Coming. We are living at extremely exciting times as our Preaching Work comes to its end! According to Bible Prophecy, an allotment of two days of 2,000 years would need to lapse before the Second Coming is revealed to unbelievers. (Hosea 6:2, 2 Peter 3:8) Oh!! If only the ungodly would stop being stubborn, pay attention, listen, and gain the wisdom of understanding to keep on living into Christ's Millennial Reign...

    Revelation 12 : 6. 1260 days. Revelation 12 : 14. a time and times and half a time. 3½ times = 3½ years, of 360 days Prophetic calender 1 2 3 4

    by Patiently waiting for Truth

    This topic is open to helpful comments and unhelpful insults too I was doing a bit of Bible reading the other day from the book known as Revelation, and reading chapter 12 i was having thoughts and meditation. Rev 12 : 6, mentions the woman going off into the wilderness for 1260 days. REv 12 : 14, mentions the woman being nurished in the wilderness for a time and times and half a time. This = 3½ times. so we divide 1260 days by 3½ which givs us, 360 days. Now that is equal to a 'Prophetic Year' It seems, and i didn't know this before, that prophicy is based on a 360 day year. It also seems that Moses used a 360 day calender. The Egy…

Ironically enough, the UN, today's Wild Beast, surrogate child of Bailey, isn't too far from this area granted of what they are conducting there, moreover, this has opened up some debates.

    You know, that those who understand clowns real people, just with costumes and make-up, watching the antics of clowns is funny…… Depending on whether or not your taste runs to slapstick humor. The Three Stooges made a living off of slapstick humor, and many became great fans. But for many children, they do not understand what a clown is, and the value in society of having clowns, and so they are deathly afraid of clowns. Clowns scare them. A lot! In a circus, one of the common acts is for a Volkswagen full of clowns to drive into the center ring, and the clowns start piling out of the car. And the clowns come, and the clowns come and the clowns come… And sometim…
