Congratulations ?.
@eva.jenny Tells us: Three years ago I was disfellowshipped and addicted to what they call the most dangerous drug.
Everyday I had to commit a crime to finance my habbit. My children were taking away from me into custody while I was arrested.
I wanted to go back to Jehovah so bad but I just felt trapped and overwhelmed with the problems in my life.
So I talked to Jehovah everyday as often as possible and asked him to show me what to do about every decision and every worry. Slowly and piece by piece he gave me what I needed to change my life.
By living according to his will I gained back what I had lost and recieved more. Today my favorite time is in the ministry and I am happier than ever enjoying a wonderful relationship with ALL of my three children; THANK YOU JEHOVAH ??

 One day, a young boy asked an old man: 
 "Sir, which is the best day to pray?" old man said "Son, the best day is the,day before you die" the young boy was puzzled.
 "Sir, how can I know the day of my death?" this is what the old man said. 
 "Son, no one knows the day of his death, that's why we need to pray everyday"

The foreign organization of the Russian Federation took the complex to the price of 880 million: it was used by the Jehovah's Witnesses
updated: 04-05-2018 (13:19)
St. Petersburg City Court on May 3 confirmed the decision of the District Court, according to which a complex of 14 buildings at the expense of more than 880 million rubles is withdrawn in favor of the state, said the center "Sova" list mail, received Kasparov.Ru.
The decision was taken Sestroretsk District Court December 7, 2017 at the request of the prosecutor's office of the Resort District of St. Petersburg and the territorial administration of the Federal Property Agency, "the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania . "
The complex of 33 thousand square meters in the village of Solnechnoye foreign religious organization owned since 2000. This is an old camp of pioneers, purchased by the Company of one of the Russian companies, by which the organization paid all taxes owed to its due time during these years.
Since 2000, the management center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, which was not the owner of the property, has enjoyed the complex. The court considered the 2000 agreement null and void. The Management Center was declared an extremist in April 2017 and liquidated together with its 360 local organizations with the confiscation of property.
Keep in mind that this is the second great wave of persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses by the state. On April 1 and 2, 1951, a "North" operation was carried out for the mass relocation to Siberia of supporters of the Jehovah's Witness organization and their families.
In total, more than 8.5 thousand people were evicted (more than 3 thousand families). The property of the evicted was confiscated and applied to cover the costs of state obligations.

King David Betrayed by His Son Absalom - David still loved him as his death - Very devoted King and Father - Yet Disasterous results!
(Psalm 3:superscription-8) A melody of David when he was running away on account of Ab?sa·lom his son. 3O Jehovah, why have my adversaries become many? Why are many rising up against me? 2 Many are saying of my soul: “There is no salvation for him by God.” Se?lah. 3 And yet you, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, My glory and the One lifting up my head. 4 With my voice I shall call to Jehovah himself, And he will answer me from his holy mountain. Se?lah. 5 As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. 6 I shall not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves in array against me round about. 7 Do arise, O Jehovah! Save me, O my God! For you will have to strike all my enemies on the jaw. The teeth of wicked ones you will have to break. 8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people. Se?lah.
(Ab?sa·lom) [Father [that is, God] Is Peace].
The third of six sons born to David at Hebron.
Physical beauty ran strong in Absalom’s family. He was nationally praised for his outstanding beauty; his luxuriant growth of hair, doubtless made heavier by the use of oil or ointments, weighed some 200 shekels (2.3 kg; 5 lb) when annually cut. His sister Tamar was also beautiful, and his daughter, named for her aunt, was “most beautiful in appearance.” (2Sa 14:25-27; 13:1) Rather than being of benefit, however, this beauty contributed to some ugly events that caused immense grief to Absalom’s father, David, as well as to others, and produced great turmoil for the nation.
Any natural or filial affection that Absalom had for David, however, had apparently vanished during the five years of separation from his father. Three years of association with pagan royalty may have cultivated the corroding influence of ambition. Absalom might have viewed himself as destined for the throne because of being descended from royalty on both sides of the family
Nevertheless, God’s promise to David of a future “seed” to inherit the throne was given after Absalom’s birth, and hence he should have known that he was not Jehovah’s choice for the kingship. (2Sa 7:12) At any rate, once restored to royal rank, Absalom began an underhanded political campaign. With consummate skill he feigned great concern for the public welfare and presented himself as a man of the people. He carefully insinuated to the people, particularly those of the tribes outside Judah, that the king’s court was lacking in interest in their problems and was greatly in need of a warmhearted man like Absalom.—2Sa 15:1-6.
Absalom, feeling satisfied that he had built up a strong following throughout the realm, obtained permission from his father by means of a pretext to go to Hebron, the original capital of Judah. From there he quickly organized a full-scale conspiracy for the throne, including a nationwide web of spies to proclaim his kingship. After having invoked God’s blessing on his rule by offering sacrifices, he obtained the support of his father’s most respected counselor, Ahithophel. Many now swung to Absalom’s side.—2Sa 15:7-12.
Absalom’s newly formed forces were administered a crushing defeat by David’s experienced fighters. The battle reached into the forest of Ephraim. Absalom, riding away on his royal mule, passed under the low branches of a large tree and apparently got his head enmeshed in the fork of a branch so that he was left suspended in the air. The man who reported to Joab that he had seen him said he would not have disobeyed David’s request by slaying Absalom for “a thousand pieces of silver [if shekels, c. $2,200],” but Joab felt no such restraint and drove three shafts into Absalom’s heart, after which ten of his men joined their captain in sharing the responsibility for Absalom’s death. Absalom’s body was thereafter thrown into a hollow and covered with a mound of stones as unworthy of burial.—2Sa 18:6-17; compare Jos 7:26; 8:29.
When messengers reached David in Mahanaim, his first concern was for his son. Learning of Absalom’s death, David paced the floor of the roof chamber, crying: “My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! O that I might have died, I myself, instead of you, Absalom my son, my son!” (2Sa 18:24-33) Only Joab’s blunt, straightforward speech and reasoning brought David out of his great grief due to the tragic course and end of this physically attractive and resourceful young man, whose driving ambition led him to fight against God’s anointed, thus bringing himself to ruin.—2Sa 19:1-8; compare Pr 24:21, 22.
Psalm 3 was written by David at the time of AbsalomÂ’s revolt, according to the superscription that heads the psalm.

ITALY
A 13-year-old boy hospitalized in Catanzaro, Jehovah's Witnesses explain why the parents rejected the transfusion
"The fact that we wanted to wait for the green light from the magistrate suggests that, although the situation was serious, there was no imminent danger to life."
Catanzaro - "We would like to point out that, while denying blood transfusions, Jehovah's Witnesses see life as something sacred, they appreciate advances in health care and willingly accept medical care for themselves and for their children." The public information office requires the witnesses of Jehovah Catanzaro, in the news published on April 18 by the Ombudsman for the Minor of the Calabria region, Antonio Marziale, according to which the transfusion was denied to a minor, for To avoid the negative opinion of the parents, the intervention of the Juvenile Court was necessary. "The parents - stated in the note - quickly took their teenage daughter to the hospital to receive treatment. The only request they made to the doctors is that the 13-year-old daughter should not be transfused with whole blood or its four main components, It is also reaffirmed several times and with the conviction of the woman herself.It is important to emphasize, according to Jehovah's Witnesses, that refusing a blood transfusion is very different from refusing treatment.
In general, in fact, transfusions are just one of several viable medical treatments in emergency situations and often are not even the best treatment. Reliable scientific studies show that patients undergoing alternative therapies to blood transfusions, including children, usually shoot at the same or even better than patients who accept blood transfusions. "The note notes that" the position of witnesses of Jehovah with respect to blood transfusions does not obligate medical personnel to any delay in the administration of transfusions that save minor lives considered: doctors know that, in the case of underage patients, if they really believe that there is state of necessity 'have the right' to act even without the need for the authorization of the judge (as confirmed on 15/03/2018 last Florence Children's Court, in its judgment No. 1176). The fact that in this case we wanted to wait for the green light by the judge suggests - and 'wrote - that, although the situation was serious, there was no immediate threat to life. "
The note also states that "in the field of medical care, decisions made by individual Jehovah's Witnesses are absolutely personal and free: they are not imposed by confession." The Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses - who always reads the statement - always cooperates with the authorities, and in this case 'more' than willing to explain in detail to the interested parties their position on blood transfusions in doctrinal and legal medical plan, it would also be a pleasure to put health professionals in contact with a network of doctors and health centers specialized in the treatment of all patients without blood transfusions. " As was said, finally, "some misunderstandings arise only from the lack of knowledge of the actual location of Jehovah's Witnesses in subject transfusions, situation - it is worth repeating - fully compatible with the Constitution".

WHY IS GOD’S NAME MISSING FROM MANY BIBLES? – LONG BUT VERY GOOD!
THE  REASON  GOD’S  NAME
IS  MISSING  FROM  MANY  BIBLES “…the distinctive Hebrew name for God – usually transliterated Jehovah, 
is in this translation 
represented by “LORD.” – Today’s English Version (preface)
There are many different reasons why GodÂ’s name
was removed from the Bible.  I will attempt to
briefly discuss them here.
First off, it was a MISTAKE to remove GodÂ’s Name
from the bible.
WHY ?
As Author of the Bible, Only God himself has the 
right to change or alter the Bible.  God himself
gave mankind a warning – in his own Word – The Bible;
to NOT add to – NOR take away from his Words. “I warn everyone who hears the words 
of the prophecy of this book: 
If anyone adds anything to them, 
God will add to him the plagues 
described in this book. 
And if anyone takes words away 
from this book of prophecy, 
God will take away from him 
his share in the tree of life.”
(Revelation 22:18,19)(NIV)-BibleGateway – A  MISTAKE – “…the suppression 
of The Name (Jehovah) 
has entailed upon the reader, 
and especially upon the hearer, 
irreparable lossÂ…
its suppression was a  MISTAKE…” –Rotherham, 1, Ch. IV, 22-29 “…the most common “ERROR” made by most 
translators in the last 3500 years…is their 
elimination of heaven’s revealed Name of 
the Most High, Yahweh (Jehovah)” – A. B. Traina;
in the Preface of the Holy Name Bible “The substitution of the word “Lord” is most unhappy; 
forÂ…it in NO WAY represents the meaning of the
sacred name (Jehovah)…”
– The 1872 edition of Smith’s Bible Dictionary 
THE  BASIC  REASONS THAT TRANSLATORS
REMOVED  GOD’S  NAME  FROM  THE  BIBLE :
“In the first two centuries nearly all the 
various readings of the New Testament came 
into existence, the majority of them by 
deliberate alteration of the text…in the 
interests of (the trinity) dogma…”
-the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics;
 The Bible in the Church
“Codex B (Vaticanus)…was altered by a later hand
in more than two thousand places.  Eusebius, therefore,
is not without grounds for accusing the adherents 
of….the newly-risen doctrine of the trinity 
of falsifying the Bible…” 
-(Fraternal Visitor 1924, p. 148; 
translated from Christadelphian Monatshefte).
“The removal of the Tetragrammaton (Jehovah)
from the New Testament and its replacement 
with the surrogates KYRIOS and THEOS blurred
the original distinction between the Lord God 
and the Lord Christ, and in many passages 
made it impossible which one was meant.  
As time went on…it was often impossible 
to distinguish between them. Thus it may be 
that the removal of the Tetragrammaton (Jehovah)
contributed significantly to the later…Trinity “
– George Howard,  Bible Scholar ;
The Name of God in the New Testament, 
BAR 4.1 (March 1978), pg 15 
`
“It was they who demanded, in effect, 
that Christianity be “updated” by blurring
or even obliterating the long-accepted 
distinction between the Father and the Son.”
– When Jesus Became God 
by Richard E. Rubenstein, p.74 

3. MONEY
   Because the God of Christ – The Jewish God, Jehovah,
   was not popular with the world of mankind, they
   sought to remove him from their Bibles.  Bible 
   translators knew that for their Bibles to be purchased
   they would need to appeal to their readers.  They 
   also knew, that if they used God’s Divine Name Jehovah,
   then people would not purchase their Version and thus
   they would lose money.
GodÂ’s name Jehovah/Yahowah appears in the original hebrew
text about 7000 times, but the NIV fails to mention it even once. 
When asked about this,   Edwin H. Palmer, Th.D., 
Executive Secretary for the NIV’s committee wrote : 
“Here is why we did not :  You are right – that Jehovah is 
a distinctive name for God and ideally we should have
used it.  But we put 2 1/4 million dollars into this
translation and a sure way of throwing that 
down the drain is to translate, for example, 
Psalm 23 as, ‘Yahweh (Jehovah) is my shepherd.‘ 
 Immediately, we would have translated for nothing. 
Nobody would have used it (or purchased it). 
Oh, maybe you and a handful [of] others.  
But a Christian has to be also wise and practical.   
We are the victims of 350 years of the King James tradition. 
It is far better to get two million to read it-
that is how many have bought it to date-
and to follow the King James, than to have two thousand
buy it and have the correct translation of Yahweh(Jehovah)
. . . It was a hard decision, and many of our translators
agree with you.” 
– The Reason NIV removed Jehovah’s Name
      Edwin H. Palmer, Th.D., 
    Executive Secretary for the NIV‘s committee 
“The situation today, where many translations…
exists largely because of the amount of money 
to be gained…”
-(The Preservation of the Bible By Faithful Churches) 
      –By Charles V. Turner
4. MAN MADE “TRADITION“
   It was a tradition of the Jews to avoid using God’s
   name altogether.  They stopped all mention of him.
   No longer using God’s Divine Name, they no longer used
   it in their prayers, even making it a sin to say his
   name out loud.  They considered it “blasphemy” to
   utter the name of God, Jehovah.  Many translators
   admit to following this “Jewish Tradition” and have
   thus removed Jehovah’s name and replaced it with Titles
   such as “LORD” and “GOD” – all in capitals – to show
   that they have removed God’s name in those places.
   Jesus condemned the man-made tradition of the Jews.
   Following their lead in this – would be directly against
   Jesus’ Teachings on this issue.
“…Yahweh (Jehovah), is the proper personal name 
of the God of Israel…the term Adonai,  ‘My Lord’ 
was later used as a SUBSTITUTE.  The word  LORD
 in the present version represents 
the TRADITIONAL usage.” 
– New American Bible (Catholic) 
   Introduction to the O. T., Page XI.
“In this translation
we have followed 
the orthodox Jewish TRADITION
and substituted ‘the Lord’
for the name ‘Yahweh’ (Jehovah)”
— Preface – 1935 Bible ;
   J. M. Powis Smith and Edgar J. Goodspeed
“Jesus replied, 
“And why do you break the command of God 
for the sake of your tradition? 
…Thus you nullify the word of God 
for the sake of your tradition. “
(Matthew 15:3,6)(NIV)-BibleGateway 
5. SUPERSTITION
   During the time when Israel was in slavery to Babylon,
   she absorbed and adopted many Babylonian customs and
   ideas.  One of these was the “Superstition” against using
   the name of a God – for fear that bad things would 
   happen to them.  As the Babylonians called their Chief
   God – Marduk by the title “LORD” so as not to offend 
   him, so too – the Jews adopted this idea in reference
   to Jehovah God.
“When the Yisraeli (Israelites) came out of Babylonian
captivity, they brought along with themthe Babylonian
culture, and along with it Babylonian beliefs and 
superstitions.  One of these pagan Babylonian practices
or beliefs was called “ineffability.” 
This was the SUPERSTITION  against using the name
of a deity for fear of something bad happening to them.
The idea was that if you said the name of a deity 
he or she would notice you. The pagan practice of 
ineffability was further reinforced by Greek 
Hellenization.”
-(b.Pes. 50a) (b.Kidd. 71a). 
“The avoidance of the original name of God (Yehowah) 
both in speech and,  to a certain extent, in the Bible…..
first arose…..in Babylonia.  According to Dalman 
(l.c. pp. 66 et seq.),”
-The Jewish Encyclopedia
TETRAGRAMMATON; by 
Crawford Howell Toy, and Ludwig Blau 
“The idea that only the priest could utter 
The NAME of The HEAVENLY FATHER, and that he 
was to disguise or hide it from the common people,
came from the idea that the NAME was“ineffable” 
or “unutterable”. However this was a pagan doctrine 
that they adopted from the Egyptians, Babylonians, 
and the Greeks…”
-THE FINAL REFORMATION; KOSTER P.54, P112 
Marduk was, therefore, a very important god of Babylon.
In the first millennium BCE, his name was considered 
so holy, that it was almost never pronounced; 
instead, people said and wrote Bêl, ‘LORD’. 
Herodotus correctly calls the supreme god of Babylon
Bêl (“lord”), because his real name was not pronounced. 
-[Herodotus, Histories 1.181-2; 
tr. Aubrey de Sélincourt]
“The ineffability of divine names 
was on old idea in EgyptÂ…
the name of Osiris himself was said 
to be ineffableÂ…the name Marduk of Babylon
was also declared ineffable. The Greeks 
avoided the names of their deities 
and preferred to call them by 
the  titles Kurios and Theos.”
-The Final Reformation 
By Dr. Koster; pp. 54 and 112 
“…But at least by the third century B.C.E. 
the pronunciation of the name YHWH (Jehovah) 
was avoided, and Adonai, “the Lord,” 
was substituted for it…”
– Encyclopedia Judaica (p. 679).
“The Hebrews considered The Name of God
to be ‘ineffable’ and substituted in reading 
Adonai (My Lord).”
-Columbia Encyclopedia Vol. 2 
  under the subject ‘God’ 
6. “JEHOVAH” IS NOT THE HEBREW WAY TO SAY GOD’S NAME
   Some Bible Translators say that they have removed
   God’s name from the Bible – because Jehovah is not
   the proper way to say God’s name in Hebrew.
   This reasoning is merely an excuse and not a reason
   at all.  For if this reason was valid, then we
   would also have to remove Jesus name from the Bible,
   since the name “Jesus” is not the way that it was
   written or spoken in Hebrew either.  Many Hebrew
   names are written in the Bible – which are not as they
   were in Hebrew and yet we do not remove them.  
   Therefore this reasoning is truly invalid.  Examples
   of Jewish names in the Bible which are translated 
   into English – much differently than their original
   Hebrew couterparts  – are :  Jesus, Jeremiah, Jonah,
   Joel, Jerusalem, Joshua, etc.
“… the Committee… is, omitting the name of God
(because) the word ‘Jehovah’ does not accurately 
represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew…”
– The Preface of the Revised Standard Version 
Thus, the Hebrew  “ye-ru-sha-LA-yim” 
became “Jerusalem“; 
“ye-ri-HO”  became  Jericho; 
and “yar-DEN”  become  “Jordan”. 
Hebrew personal names such as
“yo-NA”  became  “Jonah”, 
“yi-SHAI”  became  “Jesse” 
and “ye-SHU-a”  became  “Jesus“.
Likewise “YHWH, Yahweh, or Yehowah” 
became  “Jehovah” in english.
7. GOD  DOESN’T  NEED  A  NAME
   God does not need to be distinguished from other gods.
   Some translators have made this statement.  Who are 
   we to say that God doesn’t need a name ?  God deemed
   it necessary to name all the stars in the heavens, and
   to place his name upon people that he liked, and upon
   places that were important to him.  His own word the
   Bible – emphasizes the importance of a name.  The
   translators of the Bible did not remove Satan’s name
   from the Bible – nor did they remove the names of 
   numerous false gods from the Bible.  
“the use of any proper name 
for the one and only God… 
is entirely inappropriate 
for the universal faith 
of the Christian Church.”
-the preface of the Revised Standard Version; 
 Under reasons (excuses) for the removal of 
 God’s personal name – Jehovah
“He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.”
(Psalms 147:4)(NIV)-BibleGateway
“Lift up your eyes on high, 
and see who hath created these, 
that bringeth out their host by number; 
he calleth them all by name…
The everlasting God, Jehovah, 
the Creator of the ends of the earth…”
(Isaiah 40:26,28)(ASV)-BibleGateway
“A good name is more desirable than great riches; 
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”
(Proverbs 22:1)(NIV)-BibleGateway
“A good name is better 
than oil of much worth…”
(Ecclesiastes 7:1)(NLV)-BibleGateway 
   
“…The Sacred Name Yahovah
was revealed to man by Yahovah Himself 
and is not a man-given name” 
-(see II Apol., 10, 13; Trypho, 126, 127).
In the Bible, refusing to mention the name of a god 
means refusing to worship this god (Ex 23:13) 
and that is why Satan incited the Israelites, 
by means of the prophets of Baal, 
not to use the Name of Jehovah (Jr 23:27). 
“Yahweh (Jehovah) is the name 
that indicates the God of the Hebrews. 
Where the Philistines worshipped Dagon, 
the Egyptians, Amon, and the Ammonites, Milcom, 
the Hebrews worshipped YAHWEH (Jehovah). 
The title ‘god’ (elohim) is ALSO applied to false deities 
in the Scriptures as well as Yahweh (Jehovah),
hence is NOT a term by which one can be 
distinguished from the others. 
When the voice said, ‘I am Yahweh (Jehovah),’ 
there was no doubt in any listener’s mind 
as to the identity of the speaker. 
He was the God of the Hebrews. 
So far as is known, no other peoples 
called their god by this name.” 
– Review and Herald, December 16, 1971 
“In the Scriptures there is the closest possible relationship 
between a person and his name, the two being practically
equivalent, so that to remove the name
is to extinguish the person. (Num. 27:4; Deut. 7:24) 
To forget God’s name is to depart from Him.” 
–Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary, p. 571 (1964) 
JEWISH  BIBLES  FAVOR  THE  NAME “JEHOVAH” 
Non-superstitious Jewish translators always favored 
the name “Jehovah” in their translations of the Bible. 
On the other hand one can note that there is no 
Jewish translation of the Bible with “Yahweh”.
non-superstitious Jewish translators 
always favored the name Jehovah
in their translations of the Bible. 
On the other hand one can note that 
there is NO Jewish translation of the Bible
with Yahweh.”

THE  EARLY  CHRISTIANS
USED  THE  NAME – “JEHOVAH”
“As a follower of Christ, 
Peter used Gods name, Jehovah. 
When Peters speech was put on record
the Tetragrammaton (YHWH / Jehovah) was here used 
according to the practice during the first 
century B.C.E. and the first century C.E.”
– Paul Kahle; Studia Evangelica, edited by Kurt Aland,
F. L. Cross, Jean Danielou, Harald Riesenfeld 
and W. C. van Unnik, Berlin, 1959, p. 614
(See App 1C §1.) 
“The early Christian scholars therefore 
easily learnt the true pronunciation.”
–The 15th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica,
 volume 12, p. 995, under the heading “Jehovah” 
REMOVING “JEHOVAH”
ALMOST SEVEN THOUSAND TIMES
“The ASV (American Standard Version) 
has “Jehovah”  in it about 6,823 times, 
just like the original Hebrew, 
but the NASB removed it every time. 
This makes for some awkward situations 
like Psalms 110:1, “The LORD said to my lord.” “

JesusÂ’ name appears only 500 some times in the Bible;
whereas Jehovah’s Name appears almost 7,000  times.
Obviously Jehovah is proud of his name.
So how does he feel about mankind removing HIS Name
from the Bible ?
HOW  DOES JEHOVAH FEEL ?
“Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached,
 O Jehovah, And that a foolish people 
hath blasphemed thy name.”
(Isaiah 74:18)(ASV)-BibleGateway
“And now this admonition is for you, O priests.
If you do not listen,
and if you do not set your heart to honor my name,”
says  Jehovah Almighty,
“I will send a curse upon you,
and I will curse your blessings.”
(Malachi 2:1) (ASV)
“How long, O God, 
will you allow our enemies to mock you?
Will you let them dishonor your name forever?”
(Psalm 74:10) (NLT) -BibleGateway
“And all day long
my name is constantly blasphemed.
Therefore my people will know my name;
therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it. “
(Isaiah 52:5,6) (NIV) -BibleGateway
“Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know,
this once will I cause them to know 
my hand and my might;
and they shall know 
that my name is Jehovah.”
(Jeremiah 16:21) (ASV) -BibleGateway
“And I will sanctify my great name,
which hath been profaned among the nations,
which ye have profaned in the midst of them;
and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah.”
(Ezekiel 36:23) (ASV) -BibleGateway 
“And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call 
on the name of Jehovah 
shall be delivered…”
(Joel 2:32)(ASV)-BibleGateway
“…this is what was spoken 
by the prophet Joel: 
‘In the ‘last days’…..
everyone who calls 
on the name of the Lord (Jehovah)
will be saved.'”
(Acts 2:16,17,32)(NIV)-BibleGateway 
FOLLOW  CHRIST’S  EXAMPLE
So rather than follow the Jewish Traditions –
that Jesus Condemned – We should follow Christ’s
example in making his FatherÂ’s name known.
“Our Father in the heavens,
let your name be sanctified.”
(Matthew 6:9) –  BibleGateway
Jesus used his father’s name –
 and told us to do the same.
In prayer to his father, Jesus said:
“O righteous Father, 
even though the world does not know you,
I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
I made known to them YOUR NAME
and I will continue to make it knownÂ…
“I have manifested Your name
to the men whom You gave Me out of the world.”
(John 17:25,26,6)(ESV)-BibleGateway
“I will praise thy name for ever and ever..
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised;
And his greatness is unsearchable.”
(Psalm 145:2,3)(ASV)-BibleGateway
“That men may know that thou,
whose name alone is JEHOVAH,
art the most high over all the earth.”
(Psalm 83:18) (King James Version) -BibleGateway

Human Life Outside Paradise Until the Deluge
Methuselah lived long enough to hear the warnings proclaimed about the coming global deluge, and he almost saw the completion of the preparations made for some of humankind to survive that world catastrophe.
He was able to see his grandson Noah preaching righteousness and preparing the means for human survival. Of all of Methuselah’s sons, Lamech was the one who became the father of Noah.
It was at the birth of Noah that Lamech was inspired to utter a prophecy concerning him. That disclosed that God purposed to use Lamech’s son Noah. On this we read: “And Lamech lived on for a hundred and eighty-two years. Then he became father to a son. And he proceeded to call his name Noah, saying: ‘This one will bring us comfort from our work and from the pain of our hands resulting from the ground which Jehovah has cursed.’” Lamech lived on to within five years of the Deluge. (Genesis 5:27-31)
The name Noah was in harmony with Lamech’s prophecy, for it means “Rest” and implies consolation from rest. God’s curse was to be lifted from the ground that He had cursed on account of Adam’s transgression.—Genesis 3:17.
When, in NoahÂ’s life, did the deluge start, and thereafter end?
The deluge came within the sixth hundredth year of Noah’s life and continued into his six hundred and first year of life. (Genesis 7:11; 8:13; 7:6) The world catastrophe that occurred in Noah’s day foreshadowed the larger world catastrophe that is shortly to occur within our generation, and for this reason it deserves our consideration.—Proverbs 22:3.
 

HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN A CONVENTION BEGINS AND HEAR EVERYONE SING TO JEHOVAH?
? ? ???

I no LONGER WORRY OR AM ANXIOUS 
I DO WHAT JEHOVAH, TELLS US TO DO
Made me happier and healthier and i'm always at peace 
I have HIGH HOPE , never DISCOURAGED,  i have a  POWERFUL  STRENGTH 
Jesus’ wise counsel on how to deal with anxiety about material things, as stated in Matthew chapter 6. “Stop being anxious about your souls as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear,” Jesus advises us. (Verse 25) Food and clothing are basic necessities, and it is only natural to be concerned about obtaining these
.((((( But Jesus tells us to “stop being anxious” about such things.)))))) Why?
 Listen as Jesus reasons convincingly. Since Jehovah has given us life and a body, can he not provide food to sustain that life and raiment to clothe that body? (Verse 25) If God provides birds with food and he clothes flowers with beauty, how much more will he care for his human worshipers! (Verses 26, 28-30) 
((((((Really, undue anxiety is pointless anyway.)))))
 It cannot extend our life even by a fraction. (Verse 27) How can we avoid anxiety? Jesus counsels us: Continue giving worship of God priority in life. Those who do so can be confident that all their daily needs “will be added” to them by their heavenly Father. (Verse 33) Finally, Jesus gives a most practical suggestion—take one day at a time. Why add tomorrow’s anxieties to those of today? (Verse 34) Besides, why worry unduly about things that may never happen? Applying such wise counsel can spare us much heartache in this stressful world.
 Clearly, the counsel Jesus provided is as practical today as it was when it was given nearly 2,000 years ago. Is that not evidence of wisdom from above? Even the best advice from human counselors tends to become outdated and is soon revised or replaced. The teachings of Jesus, however, have stood the test of time. But that should not surprise us, for this Wonderful Counselor spoke “the sayings of God.”—John 3:34.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: “Stop being anxious about your lives.” (Mt 6:25) While it is only natural for imperfect humans living in Satan’s world to be anxious on occasion, Jesus was teaching his followers to avoid extreme anxiety. (Ps 13:2) Why? Because undue anxiety, even about daily needs, can distract us, making it more difficult for us to seek first the Kingdom. (Mt 6:33) Jesus’ further comments will help us to stop needless worrying.

Jehovah's Witnesses: justice in Brazil orders the transfusion of blood in the newborn baby
The Judge of São José do Rio Preto (State of São Paulo, Brazil) ordered a blood transfusion in a newborn on Tuesday (24). The baby's parents are members of Jehovah's Witnesses and they rejected the case. Jehovah's Witnesses reject any type of "blood use" as a dietary or pharmacological supplement and since 1944 as a blood transfusion. The use of the main components of the blood (blood plasma, platelets, red and white blood cells) is rejected, as well as blood donation and the donation of autologous preoperative blood.
 
According to the doctors at the Santa Casa Hospital, the baby was diagnosed with gastric bleeding and severe anemia. The doctors were clear that the baby would die without blood transfusion. The child's mother was informed and rejected the project in writing. "Although I know all the risks and severity, I do not allow transfusions," the boy's mother wrote.
 
The hospital administration appealed to the judiciary and a judge accepted the request, stating that delaying the treatment could cause irreversible damage or death. "The right to life is guaranteed constitutionally and should be protected first and foremost by the state," said the judge's statement, among other things. The hospital carried out the blood transfusion and described the baby's condition as stable.

A Samaritan woman comes to draw water. Jesus says to her: “Give me a drink.”—John 4:7.
Jews and Samaritans generally have no dealings with one another because of deep-seated prejudices. So the woman is astonished and asks: “How is it that you, despite being a Jew, ask me for a drink even though I am a Samaritan woman?” Jesus answers: “If you had known of the free gift of God and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” she replies, “you do not even have a bucket for drawing water, and the well is deep. From what source, then, do you have this living water? You are not greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well and who together with his sons and his cattle drank out of it, are you?”—John 4:9-12.
“Everyone drinking from this water will get thirsty again,” Jesus declares. “Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.” (John 4:13, 14) Then Jesus reveals an important truth: “I am he, the one speaking to you.” (John 4:26) .
Think of that! Here is a woman who comes at midday to draw water. Yet, Jesus favors her in a wonderful way. He tells her pointedly what he has apparently not yet confessed openly to others—that he is the Messiah.

RUSSIA: A SECOND WITNESS OF JEHOVAH AFTER LAS REJAS
On April 10, 2018, police arrived at the home of Anatoliy Vilitkevich, 32, and placed him in custody, accusing him of organizing the activity of an extremist organization. Vilitkevich was simply considering Bible-based publications with a small group of others who were also subjected to searches.
Two days later, the Leninskiy District Court in Ufa (Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia) decided to keep Anatoliy in preventive detention for 1 month and 22 days, that is, until June 2, 2018. Anatoliy faces up to 10 years of prison
Anatoliy is the first Russian Jehovah's Witness to remain in custody since the Supreme Court's prohibition decision of April 20, 2017.
It is unclear why Jehovah's Witnesses in Ufa are being attacked suddenly, but authorities claim to have "volumes" of information against local Witnesses.
Anatoliy's legal team filed an appeal on his arrest on April 16, but was denied three days later.
Dennis Christensen in prison since May 2017
On May 25, 2017, heavily armed police officers and agents of the Federal Security Service (FSB) interrupted a peaceful weekly religious service of Jehovah's Witnesses in Oryol, Russia. Since the authorities there had liquidated the Local Religious Organization Oryol (LRO) in June 2016 on charges of extremism, they alleged that the religious services of the congregation continued the activity of an extremist organization.
The prosecutor initiated criminal charges against Dennis Christensen, one of the elders of the Oryol Congregation, for his role in the religious services of the congregation. The Sovietskiy District Court ordered that Mr. Christensen be kept in preventive detention. His trial is currently in progress.
250 violations of JW's rights in 1 year
Since the Russian Supreme Court ruled that prohibiting the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses a year ago (April 20, 2017), there have been at least 250 violations of the rights of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, including attacks, vandalism and other types of discrimination. Seventeen of its properties have been confiscated, and lawsuits have been initiated to seize 52 other properties.
These more recent raids represent a serious escalation of state-sponsored human rights abuses reminiscent of Soviet repression and Nazi persecution experienced by minority groups in the early days of these previous regimes. Without international awareness, it can be expected that this situation will increase both in severity and frequency in the coming days.

Why would God say "he would make all things NEW? A new EARTH?" What's wrong with the old earth?
If you had a rental and the people were bad, would you BURN the house down?
No you would have rules/laws to evict them. That's what God is going to do at Armageddon. What is Armageddon? Let's read and see many will live through, will you?

NEWS  FROM  VENEZUELA....
My beloved brothers and sisters
As you have observed, I have been silent for a whole week on the issue of humanitarian aid to our people in Venezuela.
I have been open to receiving advice and I have meditated moved by mature brothers and sisters from various countries, who share with me the concern for the suffering of our people in Venezuela. I have also received angry criticism.
I want to be very clear in what I am going to expose you. But I need you to know how to read between the lines, because I can not expose in public all the information I have received.
It should not be necessary to tell you that I serve my God Jehovah until death and I am faithful to his organization. But I am forced to say it when I see that some believe that this humanitarian movement that we are playing is done because of the desire to play a leading role.
For those, I tell them that my mailbox has exceeded all the limits you can imagine, letters asking, begging, praying, crying, help for the sick and hungry of ours, especially of many children who are suffering. That has affected me emotionally and makes me understand the enormous responsibility of our faithful and discreet slave who governs the needs of a people with more than 200 countries.
Every time there is a natural disaster, our organization moves in hours, and helps efficiently.
But in Venezuela, the slave can not do more than he does. Betel de Venezuela heroically organizes the distribution of what little comes to them. A congregation told me that I had received, among other things, a can of sardines.
You can not distribute what you do not have. Here we do not judge who is responsible for what is happening.
We just want to HELP and not just look.
Months ago we began a campaign to send medicines to our brothers in Venezuela. Many means were used, especially door-to-door transport agencies. A few simple aspirins were received with shouts of jubilation. In these months I guarantee that they have delivered dozens of packages with medications of all kinds, especially for pain, hypertension, and fatal ailments. Personal cases have also been helped.
I can tell you that I have received letters from those in charge, thanking them at the same time as praying for prudence, much prudence.
CONCLUSION:
Regarding sending packages of food, toiletries and some clothes and shoes, we will continue to use brothers and sisters of proven fidelity who receive them and pass them to relief committees moderated by elders. We will give you information in  PRIVATE.
But there is something new that to date we had not tried for not having guarantees. We believe that we can be more useful to the relief committees, sending them monetary contributions as your hearts and personal circumstances move. We have bank account numbers where you can make income with confidence, no matter how small. Many few do a lot. Let's leave that money, the Venezuelan elders look for food and distribute to those in urgent need. Give the data in private to those who want to participate.
There are those who will say that with money to the contribution boxes to the world work of each hall of the kingdom, it would be enough. But the organization can not get monetary aid to Venezuela. I can not comment more.
I feel very proud to have you as brothers and sisters.
Mentalize that this is going to get worse. And social networks are going to be more important than you can believe. We pray to Jehovah. We obey the organization. But we also take the initiative when someone asks us for some bread for their children or a pill for their hypertension.
I leave you meditating my brothers and sisters.
Those who want to give help, just a message on my page and I pass information.
Brothers of Venezuela, we love you with love in action. Endurance, because "in the case of you, beloved, we are convinced of better things....  Because God is not unjust to forget your work and the love you showed for your name, for the fact that they have served  the saints and continue to serve"
Hebrews 6: 9 -10
9 But in your case, beloved ones, we are convinced of better things, things related to salvation, even though we are speaking in this way. 10 For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones.
