If we have a rich father, billionaire, and he asks you to request a day off to spend time with him, will you be afraid to ask for it, even to lose our job? No, because you have your father's backing. He has lots of the money so we won't lack anything if we please him. We can say for sure that no one is wealthier than our heavenly Father, Jehovah. If we need to ask time off from work to attend meetings or conventions and our boss says ‘No’ and threatens to fire us, we should not get overly anxious because we have a rich father that has promised to take care of us! Question is: Do we really believe that? That's why we need to keep a strong relationship with Jehovah. Going back to the illustration, if we had an argument with our rich father or we don’t have a good relationship with him, we won't have the confidence that he will support us if we need it. The same with God.

This is something I disagree: when you are not able to attend an assembly you are told that you are not being obedient. Today I learned about a sister asking for money " to go to the convention". Another sister said she was going to give her some money but no more again, as she has her own expenses as well. In the end sometimes  what should be a joyful ocassion becomes a burden. Of course I don't doubt about Jehovah's power to bless people sometimes in unexpected ways :)

Good question, I still remember those news about an autobus accident when heading to a convention in Honduras

Fatal Bus Accident in Honduras

702014132_univ_cnt_01_md.jpg

On the morning of October 31, 2014, a bus transporting 57 Jehovah’s Witnesses, who had volunteered to provide Bible education in Las Flores Lempira, crashed en route from San Carlos Choloma. The accident resulted in the death of the commercial bus driver and thirteen Witness passengers, which included two fourteen-year-old girls and an eight-year-old girl. The 44 surviving Witnesses were taken to the hospital for examination. Only two required extensive medical care but have since been released. Fellow worshippers are providing comfort and practical assistance. On November 1, 2014, the first funeral was held in Choloma for nine of the victims who died in the crash. Some 3,000 people attended.

José Castillo, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Honduras, stated: “We appreciate the outpouring of support from the community and the various agencies that have come to the aid of those affected by this tragedy.” -- JW.org website

As you will see from the quote from our website above there were going preaching not to a convention.  I article said they "had volunteered to provide Bible education in Las Flores Lempira".  They were probably going to outlying territory that is seldom worked.

Il y a 17 heures, James Thomas Rook Jr. a dit :

Il y a plusieurs années, quatre sœurs du ministère voyageaient dans une voiture à Grand Prairie, au Texas, juste à l'ouest de Dallas, au Texas, et alors qu'ils traversaient une intersection, ils se sont retrouvés avec une autre voiture et ont tous été tués sur le coup. . Comment cela se rapporterait-il à ce que vous avez posté ci-dessus?

Jésus déclara au sujet de ceux qui seraient ses disciples : “Si quelqu’un veut venir à ma suite, qu’il se renie lui-même et qu’il prenne son poteau de torture et me suive continuellement.” (Mat. 16:24, MN). Jésus ne dit pas que Dieu préserverait ses disciples du poteau de torture, mais il déclara : “Quiconque veut sauver son âme la perdra ; mais quiconque perd son âme à cause de moi la trouvera.” (Mat. 16:25, MN). Ainsi, si nos compagnons chrétiens meurent à cause des violences de leurs persécuteurs, ne considérons pas ce qui leur arrive comme une preuve de leur infidélité ou de partialité de la part de Jéhovah. Cette mort dans la fidélité garantit au chrétien la résurrection et l’assurance d’obtenir la vie éternelle dans le nouvel ordre de choses promis par Dieu. — Rév. 2:10 ; II Pierre 3:13, MN.
Il faut aussi se rappeler que si un compagnon chrétien trouve la mort dans un accident, c’est que “le temps et les circonstances” atteignent tous les hommes (Eccl. 9:11, Da). Puisqu’il en est ainsi, la mort de l’un des serviteurs de Dieu ne prouve pas qu’il a été infidèle. En outre, Jéhovah ne donne à personne l’assurance de ne pas mourir dans le présent ordre de choses. La récompense qu’il accordera à ceux qui garderont fidèlement leur intégrité, c’est la vie éternelle dans l’ordre nouveau (Rom. 6:23). Le chrétien fidèle recevra cette récompense même s’il meurt maintenant, à la suite d’un accident malheureux ou d’une catastrophe. La résurrection sous le Royaume de Dieu lui est assurée (Jean 5:28, 29). Aussi, peu importe ce qui nous arrivera avec sa permission ; puisque Dieu est impartial, il récompensera les fidèles. En vérité, “il n’y a pas de partialité chez Dieu”. — Rom. 2:11, MN.protection divine: w64 702-704

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
