    "Be liberal, ready to share."—1 Tim. 6:18. “Honor Jehovah with your valuable things,” admonish the Scriptures. Those “valuable things” include our time, energy, and resources, which we can freely spend in his service.

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from E dub in JEHOVAH’S DAY COMING EXACTLY AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT ~ 1 Thess. 5:2   
    *```BE ALERT AND WATCHOUT.*```
    ```Dear brothers and sisters,```
    ```In the past ten days or so there has been a video going round among Jehovah's Witnesses on social media. This video shows the President of the United States of America giving a speech about peace with North Korea as well as promising world peace and security. For some reason, and perhaps understandably so, some Jehovah's Witnesses have gotten excited, connecting it to the 'declaration of peace and security' which we know would signify 'the end.' Because of this reasoning this video is being circulated sometimes with a caption of 'the end is here.' Some of us have even asked to share it on Chorus forums.```
    ``` However, much as we all must be alert to the fulfilment of Bible prophecies, there are serious questions we need to ask ourselves about this video.```
    *```Since Jehovah has entrusted the Governing Body with the responsibility to teach and warn his people, has the Governing Body commented on this speech?*```
    *```Is it for us to interpret 'times and seasons' and then share our interpretation with the brotherhood? Are we taking the role of the 'faithful slave'?*``` 
    *```Would sharing this video not mislead others and create speculation over a teaching that has not been confirmed by the 'faithful slave?*```
    *```If there was anything to this speech, would the Governing Body fail to share with us this light through publications, meetings or jw.org?*```
    ```For these reasons it would be wrong to share such and it is for that reason that forum administrators have refused all the 18 requests to share this video.```
    ```In this age of social media may we all remain alert and mature Christians, able to  'distinguish both right and wrong` and to reject 'the voice of strangers.'```
    *```Read Hebrews 5:14; John 10:5.*```
    ```Kind regards.```

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in How Can We Walk With God?   
    How Can We Walk With God?
     
    We find the answer at Isaiah 30:20, 21: “Your Grand Instructor will no longer hide himself, and your eyes must become eyes seeing your Grand Instructor. And your own ears will hear a word behind you saying: ‘This is the way. Walk in it, you people,’ in case you people should go to the right or in case you should go to the left.” 
     
    In this encouraging passage, Jehovah’s words recorded in Isa 30 verse 20 may have reminded his people that when they rebelled against him, he was, in effect, hidden from them. (Isaiah 1:15; 59:2) 
     
    Here, though, Jehovah is represented, not as hiding, but as standing openly before his faithful people. We might think of an instructor standing before his students, demonstrating what he wants them to learn.
     
     In Isa 30 verse 21, a different word picture is painted. Jehovah is depicted as walking behind his people, issuing directions on the right way to walk. 
     
    Bible scholars have noted that this expression might be based on the way a shepherd sometimes follows his sheep, calling out to guide them and to keep them from going the wrong way. 
     
    How does this word picture apply to us? 
     
    Well, when we turn to God’s Word for guidance, we are reading words that were recorded thousands of years ago. They are coming from behind us, as it were, in the stream of time. Yet, they are just as relevant today as they were the day they were written. Bible counsel can guide us in our day-to-day decisions, and it can help us to map out the course of our life over the years to come. (Psalm 119:105) 
     
    When we earnestly seek out such counsel and apply it, then Jehovah is our Guide.
     
    We are walking with God. 
     
    What blessings come to those who walk with God?

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Why attend meetings?   
    Why attend meetings?
    Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ• (Hebrews 10:23,24) Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•Õ•
    Meetings.
    One of the ways in which penguins survive to the hard winter of the antarctic is to huddle each other, to generate heat collectively, to them this is a matter of life or death.
    They gather in colonies and become so strong, moving individually is impossible. So collective movements become a great need. Penguins would die of cold if they were not moving collectively moving towards the center.
    Which illustrates that similarly christians have multiple spiritual benefits of reuniting us every week with our brothers. By responding in this way to our spiritual need, and not forgetting our meeting, we fulfill God's will and avoid our spiritual death. Let's see just some of the many reasons we meet:
    • Educate us.
    • They encourage us.
    • in them, the holy spirit influences us.
    • Give us the opportunity to show our    brothers how much we want them.
    • Strengthen the unity of the congregation.
    • We can give our beloved God Jehovah, the worship he deserves.
    • We show the Lord that we want to approach him and his son.
    • and we show that we support the sovereignty of God.
    Do you know any other benefits?, you can comment!...

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from E dub in "They will persecute you also.”—John 15:20   
    "They will persecute you also.Ô—John 15:20.
    Many Christians, past and present, who have faced and overcome persecution report that at the height of their trials, they experienced inner peace, one aspect of the fruitage of God’s holy spirit. (Galatians 5:22)
    On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith." That peace, in turn, helped to guard their hearts and mental powers. Yes, Jehovah uses his active force to empower his servants to cope with trials and to act wisely when adversity strikes. 
    Onlookers have been amazed by the determination of God’s people to maintain their integrity even in the face of vicious persecution. 
    The Witnesses seemed imbued with superhuman strength, and indeed they were. The apostle Peter assures us: “If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy, because the spirit of glory, even the spirit of God, is resting upon you.” (1 Pet. 4:14) 
    That we are persecuted for upholding righteous standards indicates that we have divine approval. (Matthew 5:10-12) “Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them. 11 “Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. 12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU."

    Who do you want on your side in time of war? Men, Nations, Nuclear Bombs, Or Jehovah of Armies? I think you can figure that out? Man will not comply with God's Forces but will lose the Battle with Him ~
    His Son will Fight for Him and Bring to nothing all government, power and rulership. ~ The Bible has foretold this   read on:
    (Daniel 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;
    (Daniel 7:13, 14) 13 “I kept on beholding in the visions of the night, and, see there! with the clouds of the heavens someone like a son of man happened to be coming; and to the Ancient of Days he gained access, and they brought him up close even before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him. His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin."
    JEHOVAH OF ARMIES
    This expression, found 283 times, with variations, in the Scriptures, translates the Hebrew Yeho·wah? tseva·’ohth?. The prophetic books, particularly Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah, contain by far the majority of its occurrences. Paul and James, quoting from or alluding to the prophecies, used the expression (transliterated into Greek) in their writings
    (Psalm 103:20, 21) 20 Bless Jehovah, O YOU angels of his, mighty in power, carrying out his word, By listening to the voice of his word. 21 Bless Jehovah, all YOU armies of his, You ministers of his, doing his will.
    (Psalm 148:1, 2) . . .Praise Jah, YOU people! Praise Jehovah from the heavens, Praise him in the heights.  2 Praise him, all YOU his angels. Praise him, all YOU his army.
    (Isaiah 1:24) . . .Therefore the utterance of the [true] Lord, Jehovah of armies, the Powerful One of Israel, is: “Aha! I shall relieve myself of my adversaries, and I will avenge myself on my enemies(Jeremiah 32:17, 18) . . .Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Here you yourself have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. The whole matter is not too wonderful for you yourself, 18 the One exercising loving-kindness toward thousands, and repaying the error of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them, the [true] God, the great One, the mighty One, Jehovah of armies being his name,
    . . .The expression “Jehovah of armies” thus conveys the sense of power, the power held by the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, who has at his command vast forces of spirit creatures. 
    It thus commands deep respect and awe, while at the same time being a source of comfort and encouragement to Jehovah’s servants. David, alone and unaided by any earthly military force, challenged the formidable Philistine Goliath in “the name of Jehovah of armies, the God of the battle lines of Israel.” (1Sa 17:45) Not only in times of literal battle but also in all other trialsome situations or occasions of importance God’s people as a whole and as individuals could take courage and hope from recognizing the majesty of Jehovah’s sovereign position, reflected in his control over the mighty forces serving from his heavenly courts. The use of the expression “Jehovah of armies” by the prophets supplied yet one more reason for those hearing the prophecies to be certain of their fulfillment.
    (1 Samuel 17:45) . . .In turn David said to the Phi·lis?tine: “You are coming to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I am coming to you with the name of Jehovah of armies, the God of the battle lines of Israel, whom you have taunted.
