Bible Speaks

Don't let fear and anger, grief, worry, stress take over your body....they destroy the body! -
We have a resting place with Jehovah! - The wicked will be shown up! - We need to Pray for deliverance and put it in Jehovah's hands....He says: "They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said. This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool."
(1 Peter 3:10-18) . . .For, “he that would love life and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from what is bad and [his] lips from speaking deception, 11 but let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For [the] eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous ones, and his ears are toward their supplication; but [the] face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.” 13 Indeed, who is the man that will harm YOU if YOU become zealous for what is good? 14 But even if YOU should suffer for the sake of righteousness, YOU are happy."
However, the object of their fear do not YOU fear, neither become agitated. 15 But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect. 16 Hold a good conscience, so that in the particular in which YOU are spoken against they may get ashamed who are speaking slightingly of YOUR good conduct in connection with Christ. 17 For it is better to suffer because YOU are doing good, if the will of God wishes it, than because YOU are doing evil. 18 Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit."
(Isaiah 65:24-66:2) . . .And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I myself shall hear. 25 “The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said. 66 This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where, then, is the house that YOU people can build for me, and where, then, is the place as a resting-place for me?” 2 “Now all these things my own hand has made, so that all these came to be,” is the utterance of Jehovah. “To this one, then, I shall look, to the one afflicted and contrite in spirit and trembling at my word."

Thank you Prudence Tesoro

According to the us Press:
Jehovah's Witnesses call on the international community to help them protect their right to worship freely in Russia.
Russia is shamelessly pursuing Jehovah's witnesses, despite the fact that respected international human rights organizations have condemned their actions. These absolute abuses of our religious freedom do not go unnoticed ", he told Newsweek David Semonian, international spokesperson for Jehovah's witnesses at his world headquarters in New York.
"we hope that the harassment of our devotees will end and that those detainees will be released and returned to their families as soon as possible", said semonian. http://www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-russia-are-having-their-homes-raided-even-remote-towns-934734

I had a conversation with an Elder sometime in the summer of 2016 about this explosion of technology that the Brotherhood had adopted, from the bottom up ... and I asked him "Do you remember when computer competency, and having an Internet connection was frowned upon, and considered evil?
He paused ... looked down ... raised his eyebrows and  let out a long sigh ... and said "Yeah ....".

JW’S in russia are treated as criminals.. 
RUSSIA CALLS " DAY OF JUDGEMENT " ON JEHOVAH WITNESSES AS POLICE, FSB AND OTHER FORCES IN 9 DIFFERENT REGIONS IN RUSSIA CONDUCTS AGGRESSIVE RAIDS ON JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CONFISCATING PROPERTIES AND  DETAINING BOTH YOUNG AND OLD FOR INTERROGATION. 
On 10, 18, 19  20 April 2018 and even recently on may 17 2018, a series of searches were carried out in the homes of citizens suspected of Jehovah's Witnesses in bashkortostan, murmansk region, seaside province and ivanovo region and other regions. 
In what appears to be a coordinated campaign, special police forces (OMON), at times wearing masks and carrying machine guns, raided WitnessesÂ’ homes, pointed guns at them,destroying properties and valuables and detaining both young and old for interrogations.
The searches were conducted almost simultaneously, with the participation of armed riot policemen, who acted extremely rudely.During one of the searches, official officers invaded the believers and placed a pistol in the neighbor's head in the communal apartment, although the man did not offer resistance, and forced this peaceful man to lay on the ground, so that he remained in that position for about 15 minutes.The man was threatened with handcuffs to prevent him from obtaining legal advice by phone.
 
In the evening, Roman Markin was at home with his 16-year-old daughter. At 19:40 the door to their apartment was knocked out by special forces. Threatening with weapons, they were forced to lie down on the floor and searched. Markin's daughter was taken away and interrogated until 3 am. In another place an elderly man opened a door to a group of armed special forces, and they pushed him so violently that he fell. By their actions, law enforcers hurt two more women who were visiting. Adolescents, siblings, were put to the wall and ordered to keep their arms outstretched. A total of 17 citizens were searched, all electronic devices were seized and taken to the interrogation, which lasted until 7am the following day. 
In one of the regions, the officer said to the witnesses:“You will be let go as soon as you state that you are not a member of the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” In another case, an officer also  told a victim: “We are ridding the earth of you.” All the Witnesses were taken to the police station for fingerprinting and further questioning.
Officers raided the home of Anatoliy Vilitkevich and arrested him. They told his wife that she would not see her husband “for a long time.” Just like Dennis, authorities have charged him under Article 282.2(1) of the Criminal Code with ‘organizing the activity of an extremist organization’ and are holding him in pretrial detention until June 2, 2018.
If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison. . 
It must be noted that in october 2016,the law enforcement officers came to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in russia, and stated that the building could have weapons. As expected, weapons were not found, but banned brochures were demonstratively  "discovered". The epidemic of such falsifications led to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which caused arrests of believers.
All searches and arrests were the direct consequences of the Russian Supreme Court decision liquidating and banning all legal entities of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia.

"Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved."— (Rom. 10:13)
In the Middle Ages, God’s personal name was rather widely known in Europe. That name, represented by four Hebrew letters called the Tetragrammaton and commonly transliterated YHWH (or JHVH), appeared on coins, on facades of houses, in many books and Bibles, and even in some Catholic and Protestant churches. 
However, the trend in recent times is to eliminate the name of God from Bible translations and from other uses. One indication of this is the Letter to the Bishops’ Conferences on ‘the Name of God,’ dated June 29, 2008. 
In it the Roman Catholic Church advised that the Tetragrammaton in its various renderings should be replaced by “Lord” and that God’s personal name should not be used in hymns and prayers during Catholic religious services. And the leaders of other religions inside and outside of Christendom have also hidden the identity of the true God from millions upon millions of worshippers.

In popular usage outside the film industry, an "A-list celebrity" is any person with an admired or desirable social status. Even socialites with popular press coverage and elite associations have been termed as "A-list" celebrities. Similarly, less popular persons and current teen idols are referred to as "B-list" – and the ones with lesser fame "C-list". Entertainment Weekly interpreted C-list celebrity as "that guy (or sometimes that girl), the easy-to-remember but hard-to-name character actor".
"D-list" (or sometimes Z-list) is for a person whose celebrity is so obscure that they are generally only known for appearances as so-called celebrities on panel game shows and reality television. In the late 20th century, D-listers were largely ignored by the entertainment news industry;

Russia in a campaign of terror against Jehovah's witnesses
Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ• (Vladimir Putin's government) Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•
Near the football world!.
While Russia is preparing to host and international headquarters of the "World Football 2018" and contest the fifa cup. Vladimir Putin, a member of the un peace council committee, and who was a member of the kgb in Russia and now the first newly re-elected President, has unfortunately allowed and encouraged a relentless pursuit of newly increased terror in violent raids in various communities Against families of Jehovah's witnesses.
Tarnishing with this his international reputation and thus becoming a country that acts as a dictatorship that imposes with iron hand the orthodox church as the only faith validates and allowed at Vladimir Putin's behest.
As of April 2017, the Russian supreme court forbade Jehovah's witnesses to profess their faith, and banned and confiscated their places of worship and has also confiscated all assets of this peaceful organization as extremists. Although the government has not listened to the various international human rights agencies that powerless urge them to stop their unjust and incomprehensible stance.
Chasing them like the worst criminals with heavily armed policemen with ski masks and machine guns and intimidandolos in a pushy way despite the peaceful behavior of members of this faith and without caring about the pain of cruelly ripping off their parent s' children.
The following map reveals some of the communities where Jehovah Implacamblemente's witnesses are now being persecuted for the crime of " having a bible " (which is also prohibited by the government of Russia) and being imprisoned for " professing their faith "... How Terrible!, it is scary to find out about this for all tourists who intend to visit this country in the world cup and have another faith or are members of other religions other than the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Implacable Power of Volcanic Lava
In 1935, lava from an eruption of the volcano Mauna Loa, on the Big Island of HawaiÂ’i, started oozing toward the Wailuku River, main source of water for the city of Hilo. This danger to the more than 15,000 residents of Hilo was exactly the opportunity that Thomas Jaggar, founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, had been waiting for: to blow up a volcano.
This isnÂ’t as crazy as it sounds. Actually, no, it was crazy. Jaggar thought, based on the state of the science, that explosives would collapse and plug the channels and underground tubes through which lava flows.
He approached the Army Air Corps, which had an airbase on the island of Oahu. There, a young lieutenant colonel named George Patton (yes, that Patton) planned a mission to deploy three Keystone B-3A bombers and two Keystone B-6As—biplanes!—to the slopes of Mauna Loa, where they’d drop 20 600-pound bombs on the lava. Five dropped onto red-hot flows, splashing lava 200 feet into the air upon detonation (which then punched holes through one of the bombers’ wings). Most of the other bombs hit the solidified sides of the flows. A US Geological Survey geologist on board one of the planes, Harold Stearns, reported that most of the bombs merely impacted on the surface.
So did it work? Well, the lava diverted and stopped flowing before it reached the river. It remains Â… controversial as to whether the bombs or the cessation of the eruption did it. (Jaggar thought the explosions released enough pressure to stop the lava; no one else does.)
Volcanoes have a lot of ways to kill people—caustic ash, superheated hurricane-like pyroclastic flows, incandescent mudslides called lahars...and, of course, lava. As the world watches the ongoing eruption of the volcano Kilauea, Mauna Loa’s neighbor to the east, you can see why Jaggar would resort to explosives, and why people have been trying to build lava barriers, unsuccessfully, since 1881. Lava’s appearance is rarely a surprise—but where it flows and how fast remain unpredictable. And it is, as researchers say, binary. Wherever it goes, it incinerates or buries everything in its path. There’s not much anyone can do about it except watch.
“A lot of cultures around the world have come to the conclusion that it’s a bad idea to live too close to a volcano,” says Natalia Deligne, a volcanic hazard and risk modeler at GNS Science, the New Zealand equivalent of the USGS. That’s why lots of volcanoes are magically inside national parks. “If you look at indigenous traditions, often the vent area is a taboo area,” Deligne says. “That’s just another form of land use planning.”
Unlike the ostentatious, once-in-a-blew-moon eruptors like the stratovolcanoes of the Cascades and the Andes, Hawaiian volcanoes are “shield volcanoes,” slow and steady pumps of relatively runny, low-silica lava. Volcanoes in general aren’t as murderous as other natural disasters—since 1900 volcanoes have killed about 280,000 humans, but in that same time earthquakes have killed more than 2 million. Lava comes in three types (highly viscous, deep “blocky” lava; chunky, fast-moving ‘a ‘a, and smooth pahoehoe), and it tends to move slow enough that it destroys property rather than kills people. So people continue to live on the slopes of the volcanoes. (Hawai'ian volcanoes also emit toxic, corrosive gas—sulfur dioxide turns into sulfuric acid on contact with the atmosphere, creating potentially deadly clouds called vog, short for “volcanic smog” [itself a contraction of “smoke” and “fog”].)
That’s what’s happening at Kilauea; lava is emerging from 14 fissures in the volcano’s East Rift Zone, amid a housing subdivision called Leilani Estates. More than 1,700 people had to evacuate, and about a dozen homes were consumed. This has been the situation, on and off, since the 1980s. “The lava would flow for a certain distance, then stop, and then rather than resuming travel in the same direction it would go back toward the vent and break out somewhere else,” says Michael Lindell, an emeritus environmental psychologist at Texas A&M who studies attitudes toward volcano risk. “Volcanologists don’t thoroughly understand the underground plumbing. They’ve got a pretty good idea, but they keep getting surprised.”
Even today, lava is unpredictable. Nobody really understands tube and channel formation or how a’a’ lava becomes pahoehoe and vice versa. Computers can forecast paths of flow from topography, but not speed or how wide the flow will be. (The USGS map of lava hazard zoneson Hawai’i hasn’t been updated since 1992.) “How fast it’s coming out of the vents, how hot it is, how fast it’s cooling, how many crystals you have in the lava—those are all parameters that will dictate how the lava will flow,” Deligne says.
There’s not much to do about it when it does. Deligne says that hardly anyone actually zones construction or writes building codes with volcanoes in mind. And even if you did, what then? Ash, sure, just build your roofs with a pitch of greater than 35 degrees to shed the stuff. But lava? Maybe … round buildings? According to one of the few analyses of such things, a forensic look at a 2014 eruption of the Fogo volcano on Cape Verde, lava pushes them into compression, actually strengthening them; it tends to just push over flat walls.
Sometimes the volcano is quiet; sometimes it’s not. “Pele, the goddess of Hawaiian volcanoes, whose home is in Halema‘uma‘u Crater within Kilauea Caldera, is always described with two personas,” young and beautiful—and old and cruel, write James Kauahikaua and Robert Tilling, two past heads of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Now, the observatory is warning that things could get worse. A rapid lowering of the lava level in the Overlook crater at Kilauea’s summit was the first sign that lava was on the move. If that lava dips below the groundwater level, it could start making steam, converting this to an explosive eruption, scientists warned at a press conference. The Washington Postreports that a nearby geothermal power plant is moving 12,000 gallons of a flammable fuel called pentane to an industrial park that’s out of range, just to be safe.
But in the face of the threat, people’s attitudes toward volcanoes aren’t much different from how they feel about other hazards. Deligne loves volcanoes; she says she can’t imagine living anywhere there might be tornadoes. Lindell says if he had to live on the Big Island, he’d definitely try to stay on the north side—away from the volcanoes. As for the south side? “It’s incredibly cheap to live there and it’s a very pleasant life, so it’s an acceptable risk to them,” he says. “In some respects it’s no different than people living on the Hayward fault, or on the flood plain in Houston. They know the risk is getting worse, but they keep on rebuilding.”

LAST MINUTE
Brothers from Russia in contact with this social network, inform us at the minute of what is happening in this country.
Today, Thursday, May 17, our brothers and sisters, including minors, have been searched and arrested. It has been in Birobidzhan and the Orenburg region.
The European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses is receiving reports from the brothers and reporting internationally.
The police operation has been called "Day of Judgment" and about 150 siloviki have participated. Who are these? SILOVIKI literally in Russian "the people in power", is a term used to refer to those politicians and influential Russian characters that have their roots in the security or military services, often official of the KGB, FSB or the Army that of one way or another, they came to posts linked to power.
In the records of citizen witnesses, they take photographs, bank cards, money, all electronic devices, even if they are old and broken.
So far there is no information on the criminal case under which the searches are conducted and on what article was instituted.
Yesterday, the 16th, there were a series of records in the homes of the citizens, who consider themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. According to preliminary information, three citizens were arrested and three others pledged not to leave the place. It is known that citizens are involved as defendants under Part 2 of art. 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in an extremist organization).
