James 1:13 "When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God."  For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone."
It is a 'sign' of the last days.

Indicating humility.

You'll get there Tom  

Well it's open for business now 😉
 

"...detecting their craftiness..."  They were trying to put him on the spot about taxes.  Romans 13:1-8, particularly note verses 6 and 7: "That is why you are also paying taxes...render to all their dues, to the one who calls for tax, the tax;..."  
2 Cor 8:14 is speaking of contributions made so that those with more could equalize with those that had less...that calls for contributions, which is how we arrive here, our contributions are used to offset the needs of those that have less.  I am more than happy to contribute donations for my brothers and sisters that may have needs that I don't.
Jesus said the widow that dropped two small coins in, dropped in more than all the rest that dropped in out of their surplus, but she dropped in all she had, ergo, there were contributions being made, always have been. Mark 12:43
Hahaha...our buildings are not ornate, hahaha...thank you for that chuckle, they are clean, well kept and free of idols.
I have to tell you, I am not manipulated by anyone to part with my cash.  
Again, the scriptures are replete with examples of donations given to further the worship of God.  I can get into that if you like but I feel sure you already know.

We are fully aware that Jehovah brings salvation and that when that time of judgement arrives, we will all be judged individually.  If there are those that someone here referred to as PIMOs (physically in, mentally out), they will be judged accordingly.  

Apollos needed to adjust what he knew, don't miss the point.  
Ah well, we'll be able to find out what Priscilla and Aquila taught him in the new system.  
Are you considered an apostate?  
I understand that my dedication and baptism identifies me as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization.  A reminder to work with God's spirit-directed organization.  If I call myself one of Jehovah's Witnesses, others will reach the conclusion that I'm associated with Jehovah's organization.

Have a read of Acts 18:24-26.  Here was Apollos, a Jew, well-versed in the scriptures and although he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, he was acquainted only with the baptism of John, so what did Aquila and Priscilla do?  they took him into their company and explained the way of God more accurately to him.
Milk = what all of us learn at the start, Solid Food = what we come to learn over time.

Why would we find some of Christ's teachings "less important", that is the sort of thinking that paves the way for going beyond it.

The "light getting brighter" requires humility that waits on Jehovah to give His servants their food at the allotted time.  It also allows for a refining of His people.  What an absolute genius Jehovah is.  1 Cor 2:14

Jehovah will have His message preached to the extent He has foretold, there may be ways that reach those that have yet to hear, that we are unaware of.  Who would have thought, as recently as last year, that we'd be carrying out that preaching work using electronic means.
It is not outside of the realms of possibility to consider Jehovah able to 'know' how a person 'would' react had they heard the good news.  That's not what I'm saying will happen, I'm simply saying all things are possible with God, and some of those things may fall within the following scripture:  Isaiah 55:9 - "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts"
That is what faith and knowing Jehovah results in, absolute conviction that what He has said He will do, His way.

Thought for the day:
Jehovah is God's name.  It was originally in the Bible in over 7,000 places but has been removed by various bodies due to superstition etc.  Micah 4:5 For all the people will walk, each in the name of it's god, But we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.

Am I glad I carried out those on my bucket list in London mid 2018, just in time. 
 

London Has Fallen | Retail, Hospitality & Entertainment Collapse! This video will show you London like you've never seen it before. Businesses are simply collapsing, retail, hospitality, entertainment, it's all disappearing at a rapid rate. The London we all remember and love, is disappearing and will never be the same again. I travelled down early in the morning on the train, and for a peak time train, it was almost empty. The underground was much the same, almost no one getting on and off. And just this week, TFL (Travel For London) announce bankruptcy due to the mandated lock downs! Can you imagine, a transport line that was built in 1863 is now going bankrupt over the lockdowns. Oxford Street, the worlds busiest shopping precinct, was nowhere near the level is that it normally is. And those people who were on Oxford Street, we are being very picky and careful in their purchases. There was an air of caution in the air, as if people didn't want to spend too much money right now due to the risk of an even deeper recession. Carnaby Street, London was even worse, with almost no customers anywhere! We then travelled through Soho, into Leicester Square, then Covent Garden before walking down to Trafalgar Square. Again it was the same story, there were no overseas or local tourists and the locals were nowhere to be seen. I stopped to speak with a number of business owners, and they all said the same thing, they were really just waiting for the government to step in and save them, but otherwise, they will need to declare the business bankrupt any day now. I was most shocked to see businesses that I've known since I was a child, now not only closed, but completely stripped bare inside. Some shopping areas when 90% void! That means that nine out of every 10 retail units were empty! These are just some of the things I noticed, I haven't even discussed the London shows been cancelled and the performer is completely out of work. These are people at the top of their game, celebrities in their own right, now unemployed. I made this video to show you the truth of what's really going on... There is no V shaped recovery. It's all a huge LIE. In tomorrow's video, I will be doing a financial analysis and making a prediction on the economy for the next six months leading us into 2021.

Exodus 9:16 But for this very reason I have kept you in existence: to show you my power and to have my name declared in all the earth.
It's quite possible that the Jews were concerned about non-Jews misusing Jehovah's name and so tried to keep it under wraps.  As we can see from the scripture noted above, Jehovah is going to make His name known in all the earth.  Isaiah 64:2 As when a fire ignites the brushwood, and the fire makes the water boil, Then your name would be known to your adversaries, And the nations would tremble before you!
Clearly, Jehovah's name would be known throughout the earth.

Psalm 83:18 "May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth"
The online King James Bible has retained the name Jehovah in this verse.  
The name Jehovah is represented by four Hebrew consonants known as the Tetragrammaton.
Jehovah means "He causes to become"

I understand what Tom means when he writes, "they".  
That's the wonderful thing about Jehovah granting us free will, we can exercise it and if people choose to leave, that is their decision.  Jehovah said He would feed His sheep using His organisation, that is what He is doing and through a feeding programme using literature, I have no problem understanding that at all.
You won't be able to wipe out Jehovah's organisation, many have tried and failed and if you know anything about the end times, you will know that a coalition of nations will eventually turn on us and that that will be the trigger for Armageddon when the nations will know that Jehovah is who He is.  Until then He works with imperfect people to carry out His will.
 

Thank You 🙂
