Public Talk - Serve Jehovah With a Joyful Heart

Our Christian Life and Ministry Meeting 3 November 2016

You can look into the 2016 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, page 176,  for the figures based on year 2015, then in a couple of months you will get the figures year 2016 in the 2017 yearbook.  Last figure was 8.2 million.  Headquarters would have to up-to-date figures now almost ready for print.  But why would we need to get them before they are published?

How many publishers are there currently and where can I find it??

Yes,  its nice, clever and funny,  haha ;o)  Enjoy !

Nice one to play at brothers & Sisters gathering   Quiz time    thanks 

THAT  IS  SO  COOL.....  hahaha ;o)

Its  NOT  a  wonder  -  more  algebra !
It  does  work  ALWAYS  ;-)  Try  it...

Let us carefully watch the developments.  The scriptures has given us clear cut prophecies.  May we not be deceived in any way. 

No one said no world war.
After war comes a cry or peace+security for a while.because if after a war witnesses in that country would be in one place for spiritual encouragement. 
The world would have a peace summit.+ the end is here.

Spectacular, incredible, amazing...  rarely seen smoke rings at Mt Etna !
When Mount Etna erupted on April 11, 2013, it created amazing smoke rings !
Toroidal Vortices or Volcanic smoke rings are rare, but well-documented.

Thank you  for  the  explanation ! Prob. it  was  here  a  special  modern  meeting, with  tablets  etc. -  A  cool  picture  and  all  seems  happy...

Are YOU Like Jeremiah?

For this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.—John 18:37.

When on trial for his life, Jesus Christ said those words to the Roman governor of Judea. Jesus had just identified himself as a king. Years later, the apostle Paul referred to this courageous example of Jesus, “who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate.” (1 Tim. 6:13) Indeed, it sometimes requires great courage to be a “faithful and true witness” in Satan’s hate-filled world! (Rev. 3:14) As a member of the Jewish nation, Jesus was a witness of Jehovah by birth. (Isa. 43:10) Indeed, he turned out to be the greatest witness God has ever raised up in behalf of His name. Jesus zealously witnessed about God’s Kingdom. The Gospel writer Mark reported: “Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the good news of God and saying: ‘The appointed time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent, and have faith in the good news.’”—Mark 1:14, 15. w14 7/15 4:1, 2

BROTHER Steven Lett, visited Greece on 16 October
ALL CONGREGATIONS OF GREECE AND CYPRUS WERE CONNECTED ONLINE.
The title of his speech was: "Protect your relationship with Jehovah by cultivating humility."
Jesus was so humble that speak of himself in the third person, as "the son of man."
The proud person is something unpleasant to the Lord because he claims something that belongs only to Jehovah.
The brother then visit LIBERIA AND CONGO in Africa, which will give you a surprise in your language. ;-)  Enjoy !

La creación de las cámaras en el Salón Inglés. Siendo leales a Jehová Regional del Convenio de Johannesburgo

Its  wrong, yes !   1.Corinthians  6:9 
9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality,
 

These articles are quite good for Jehovah's people in general because so many actually "hate" gay people. I was sitting in a car with brothers and sisters who got talking about gay people. everything they said was "hateful" of gay people. They had forgotten that it's the act not the person that we should hate. I spoke up and asked, what would happen if a gay person became a brother or sister, would we still talk that way, or would we think they no longer had the desire just because they became a witness. Some said yes quoting "because that's what some of you were." 1 Corinthians 6: 11. It was an awkward discussion, but they only realized how they sounded when someone raised the issue.
On the other side, many gay people may allow the act or even the desire to act to define who they are. 
While we define it as a person who "acts" on the urge and commits such "acts". The world holds the view that if you have even the desire to act you are gay. Most witnesses that I've listened to talking about gay people don't differentiate it either. When you hear it from the platform, it's not differentiated and much of the time it's hate for the people using words like "they are disgusting or filthy." Not the acts they do. This is really unfortunate. And I believe it is our own fault. 
Those whom I have known to have come out of that lifestyle, have really struggled in the truth. From vicious back biting, mockery and isolation. Yet, we preach a message of peace but do not always show it to "all sorts of people." For them, it can be a very lonely place within the organization.
Yes, it is sad that when you call in to see a Bible Student, that they tell you how brother so-and-so told them to be careful of brother x because he is gay. Notice it was not past tense as in "that is what some of you were."
Such, brothers and sister who struggle with same sex attraction would prefer to hide who themselves if they knew the whole congregation viewed them as "unchanged".
I just think, we have a long way to go in many area's, we are not as righteous as we make ourselves out to be at times. I believe this is a big problem at the moment especially with a big focus on it in the last year. That focus has not instilled wise or loving traits in Jehovah's people. Granted not all of us are "hateful" or "malicious" of gay people. But I think we do need to realize some things:
1. For a gay to convert is a really difficult challenge, it cannot be compared to a straight person turning to God.
2. There is a difference between being gay and no longer committing gay acts, it does not mean they stop having gay desires.
3. Many are now our brother's and sister's but they know that if they were open about it that they would be treated badly, so they work hard to hide that side of them to the detriment of the physical and mental health.
We need to be more loving to those who were gay, and realize how hard it is for them to exist in the truth. We should be amazed at their daily struggle to resist the flesh, it cannot be compared to straight people's struggle with sexual desire. If you want to show love, involve them in group socializing. And just so some get to know, it's not the one's that are known that should be worried about. Many "straight looking" brothers may have a struggle as well, they may even persecute or mock those who are known or even be married now, with children. It's not as simple as, that brother looks "camp" so he must be gay or he has a gay voice or likes ballet etc Feminine traits are not always an indicator of gay desire. You don't have to "look" gay to have that desire.
I hope some witnesses will change from a "hateful" disposition toward gay people. We are not the judges. However, this problem is so big it will not likely change over night, sad, but true.
To all you brothers and sisters out there who struggle everyday with gay desire. May the God of peace grant you peace and reward your efforts.
