  1. This may be the case in many countries. The capture below shows how some coins are minted in The Republic of South Africa.
  2. The message sent wasn't clear enough - sorry. It was merely a thought about those who do not pay attention to Jehovah's words at Psalm 115:16). "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men." The world isn't much concerned about what the Bible says in this respect. Not many even read it, or even believe what it says. I was wondering - not about their being resurrected, but whether they will indeed, be resurrected. Ignorance about what the Bible says is no excuse, its available over most of the world. I was wondering whether Jehovah WOULD consider resurrecting any who may die on other planets. They are already planning to colonise Mars.
  3. Being in an old age home, I thought it worthwhile telling workers about the 'elbow' method of greeting to avoid touching with the hands. While doing so, one of them said that they had been doing this for some time. In fact, they even added another method. (Perhaps to avoid all bodily contact.) Each would thump the inner side of their right foot against that of the other person. Well, well, well, we learn new things nearly every day.
  4. Has anyone heard of the following: To avoid passing on sicknesses to others, or as a precaution, when someone holds offers their hand to greet us, we in return should put our hand on our shoulder then hold out an extended elbow to indicate that we are avoiding contact with our hands.
  5. There is a reason why most of Christendom believe they are going to heaven. At the home where I am, all know that I'm deaf. So, whenever I inquire about residents who are no longer seen, they point upwards. Besides Matthew 5:5 most of the Greek scriptures are about going to heaven. (Matt 6:20; 19:24; Mark 10:21) The gathering of the anointed was an important purpose of Jesus work. "Declaring the good news" was the other. (Luke 4:43).
  6. *** ws17 June pp. 13-14 par. 17 Set Your Heart on Spiritual Treasures *** Consider the experience of a brother named Peter. In 1970, he was 19 years old and had recently begun serving at Bethel in Britain. Peter was preaching from house to house and met a bearded middle-aged man. He asked the man if he would like to understand the Bible. The man was a Jewish rabbi, and he was shocked that a young man thought he could teach him the Bible. To test Peter, the rabbi asked, “So, my boy, what language was the book of Daniel written in?” Peter said, “Part of it was written in Aramaic.” “The rabbi,” Peter remembers, “was surprised that I knew the answer—but not as surprised as I was! How did I know the answer? When I went home and checked the Watchtower and Awake! magazines from the previous months, I found an article explaining that Daniel was written in Aramaic.” (Daniel 2:4, footnote) Yes, the holy spirit can help us to remember information that we have read and put in our treasure store in the past.—Luke 12:11, 12; 21:13-15. The power of knowledge!
  7. Indeed, we should concentrate on the Christian Greek scriptures. Our Scriptures Daily do. But unlike Christendom who call the Hebrew text, "The OLD testament", we believe that to be a misnomer - Which in turn, proves that they are rejecting an important part of Jehovah's word. Some of the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled.
  8. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth...". He is the bread that came from heaven. The "Way" refers to the path to follow to everlasting life, which the early Christians referred to as being a Christian. The narrow path. See John 14:6; Matt.7:13.
  9. My brothers, don't follow Demas who left the truth because he loved the world more than working with the apostle Paul. Truth never fails - Stick to it!
  10. This business of visiting the moon and other planet is reason for concern. "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men." (Psalm 115:16) Should the end of this system shortly take place, I'm wondering whether anyone in rockets, on another planet or orbiting the earth be resurrected?
  11. …“Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them: “Yes. Did YOU never read this, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have furnished praise’?” (Matt 21:16)

     

     

     

    Some people complain about us knocking on their door...

  12. Angels.docxWe can depend on Jehovah sending his angels to whoever needs spiritual guidance.

  14. Jehovah doesn't want us to lay charges against our brothers. "Does any one of you who has a dispute with another dare to go to court before unrighteous men, and not before the holy ones? Or do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world?" (1Cor. 6:1,2) .
  15. RE: Watchtower sex. I do have a complete document on Jehovah's Witness sex, but the source will not be disclosed; only what comments from those who read the article online so that all can read what the world thinks of us. Child abuse WorldNewsMedia.docx JW sex Reader views.docx
  16. Instead of discussing this matter, will it not be better to leave it to Jehovah, the supreme Judge whose laws and judgements are always righteous. (Psalm 119) In his eyes, whoever commits one sin is in effect guilty of all. Compare David's fornication with Bathsheba. Although his repentance was accepted, he had to be punished. (Ex 37:6,7)
  17. I have the internet link to the original article published by dailymail.co.uk on this topic, as well as a document about Jehovah's Witnesses' secret data base. But, like you, I also don't believe it right to drag up old matters, which may be read and misunderstood by those who are not baptised Jehovah's Witnesses.
  18. Thank you! You correctly guessed my age which is 88 and turning 89 in February 2012. I am fortunate to still be able to walk up steep hills. "He gives power to the tired one And full might to those lacking strength. Boys will tire out and grow weary, And young men will stumble and fall, But those hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not tire out.” (Isaiah 40:29-31) I have a wonderful spiritual brother to assist me in our regular ministry. The scripture below being true. "There are companions ready to crush one another, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24)
  19. My knowledge of the Bible was meager back in 1956 when I studied with anointed brother Andrew Jack. I remember how he guffawed when the topic came to "The Holy Ghost. One conjures the image of a specter in the vicinity. We had the privilege of occasionally inviting him to have lunch with us. (Matt. 10:42) Many years after we moved to East London on the South African East coast we met him again when he was on leave. We again had the privilege of taking him for a ride up and down the Nahoon river in our small boat. Brother Andrew Jack finished his earthly course a few years later.
  20. The document appended was downloaded when the use of marijuana was allowed.Marijuana effects.docx
  21. At the age of 37 I once swam the entire length of the Melville, Johannesburg olympic sized swimming pool - underwater.
  22. Vandalism of the worst kind. A church minister destroys a Witness' cart. Minister destroys JW trolley.mp4
  23. The most effective repellent is having a four poster bed covered in mosquito mesh, A brother in East London, South Africa made one,

  24. In South Africa we have similar vandalism. Trains in the gang ridden Western Cape are regularly torched. This is possibly leading toward the Great Tribulation. Luke 21:28
