La comunidad supera ya los 900 fieles en Pamplona y aproximadamente un 30 por ciento de ellos son de origen extranjero.

Asamblea de los Testigos Cristianos de Jehová en el Baluarte. MIGUEL OSÉS.  

Son cristianos pero no hay cruces en sus oraciones. De hecho, ni siquiera se sienten representados por ella. Su máxima es diferente: defender el amor al prójimo por encima de todo, de la misma manera que Jesús lo hizo.

Su anhelo por conocer la Biblia y sus enseñanzas, a las que dedican años para estudiarlas, les aportan lecciones prácticas de vida que, sin dejar de ser religiosa y cristiana, no es una de las opciones mayoritarias en Navarra.

Actualmente, la capital foral cuenta con unos 900 testigos de Jehová, que este sábado se han reunido en Baluarte para unirse en una gran congregación y celebrar, con motivo del arranque de la primavera, la primera asamblea del año. La siguiente será ya en otoño.

“Nos hemos juntado con el lema ‘Cuidemos nuestro amor por Dios’ e intentamos explicar qué significa que Dios nos quiera y cómo podemos quererlo nosotros”, explica Alberto Vegas, responsable de comunicación.

“Al final somos cristianos y, por lo tanto, tenemos una creencia en que Jesucristo es el hijo de Dios y tratamos de imitar su vida”, expone Vegas. Su propio nombre indica que el motivo de su vida es el de testificar o hablar del Dios al que sirven, porque la religión “más que una doctrina que tiene que aprenderse, es algo que debe influir en la vida”, matiza.

Una vida que siete personas han decidido cambiar este sábado entrando a formar parte de la comunidad a través del bautismo. El rito se realiza por inmersión y bajo los cálidos aplausos de una abarrotada sala principal de Baluarte.

Este es el caso del matrimonio formado por Anderson Rico y Cristina Jiménez. Ambos han elegido esta jornada para bautizarse. "Es algo emocionante. Llevábamos cinco años estudiando la Biblia y nos ha ayudado a estar mejor con la familia y con Dios", dice emocionado Rico mientras se seca con la toalla tras ser bautizado.

"Queríamos alcanzar juntos esta meta porque es un ejemplo para nuestro hijo de diez años, que junto a su tía, nos han acompañado hoy", ha añadido el joven que se estrena dentro de la congregación pamplonesa.

Previamente a ser bautizados, el responsable de comunicación cuenta que reciben una breve conferencia encaminada a recordarles la importancia de esta decisión y para cercionarse de que lo hacen "por voluntad propia y sin presiones". También se les ofrece una serie de consejos bíblicos para empezar este nuevo camino.

Un recorrido diferente por la vida que muchos han optado ya por emprender Navarra. A lo largo de las últimas décadas, la comunidad de testigos de Jehová ha aumentado y ya hay grupos diseminados por Pamplona, Tafalla, Estella, Alsasua, Tudela y Castejón. "Las personas en épocas difíciles buscan respuestas y parece que las personas tienen más interés", añade Vegas.

Tanto es así que en los últimos cinco años, los grupos de Pamplona han pasado de ser cinco, a siete. Un crecimiento que se debe a la llegada de inmigrantes a Navarra y que suponen en la comunidad el 30 por ciento de sus fieles aproximadamente.

No sólo eso. "Tenemos algunos grupos que atienden otros idiomas y culturas", añade el responsable de comunicación. Así, los testigos de Jehová en Navarra enseñan a interpretar la Biblia a otras personas en búlgaro, rumano, inglés, lengua de signos, árabe o euskera. El nuevo reto es hacerlo en chino por lo que varios navarros se están formando ya en esa lengua para transmitir las enseñanzas de este modo de vivir la vida.

Testigos de Jehová, a la piscina

Este domingo 900 Testigos de Jehová de Navarra y Soria acudieron al Baluarte para presenciar el bautismo de 7 “hermanos” y escuchar 10 charlas sobre el amor a Dios, la Biblia o cómo evangelizar

      Can secular chronology be trusted?

      By George88 · Posted

      I have considered all of their arguments. Some even apply VAT 4956 to their scenarios, which is acceptable. Anyone can use secular evidence if they genuinely seek understanding. Nonetheless, whether drawing from scripture or secular history, 607 is a plausible timeframe to believe in. People often misuse words like "destruction", "devastation", and "desolation" in an inconsistent manner, similar to words like "besiege", "destroy", and "sack". When these terms are misapplied to man-made events, they lose their true meaning. This is why with past historians, the have labeled it as follows: First Capture of Jerusalem 606 BC Second Capture of Jerusalem 598 BC Third Capture of Jerusalem 587 BC Without taking into account anything else.  Regarding the second account, if we solely rely on secular chronology, the ancient scribes made military adaptations to align with the events recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles. However, the question arises: Can we consider this adaptation as accurate?  Scribes sought to include military components in their stories rather than focusing solely on biblical aspects. Similarly, astronomers, who were also scholars, made their observations at the king's request to divine omens, rather than to understand the plight of the Jewish people. Regarding the third capture, we can only speculate because there are no definitive tablets like the Babylonian chronicles that state 598. It is possible that before the great tribulation, Satan will have influenced someone to forge more Babylonian chronicles in order to discredit the truth and present false evidence from the British Museum, claiming that the secular view was right all along. This could include documents supposedly translated after being found in 1935, while others were found in the 1800s. The Jewish antiquities authorities have acknowledged the discovery of forged items, while the British Museum has not made similar acknowledgments. It is evident that the British Museum has been compelled to confess to having looted or stolen artifacts which they are unwilling to return. Consequently, I find it difficult to place my trust in the hands of those who engage in such activities. One of the most notable instances of deception concerning Jewish antiquities was the widely known case of the ossuary belonging to James, the brother of Jesus. I was astonished by the judge's inexplicable justification for acquittal, as it was evident that his primary concern was preserving the reputation of the Jewish nation, rather than unearthing the truth behind the fraudulent artifact. The judge before even acknowledged it. "In his decision, the judge was careful to say his acquittal of Golan did not mean the artifacts were necessarily genuine, only that the prosecution had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Golan had faked them." The burden of proof is essential. This individual not only forged the "Jehoash Tablet," but also cannot be retried for his deceit. Why are they so insistent on its authenticity? To support their narrative about the first temple of Jerusalem. Anything to appease the public, and deceive God. But then again, after the Exodus, when did they truly please God? So, when it comes to secular history, it's like a game of cat and mouse.

      I'm not bothered by being singled out, as you seem to be accustomed to defending and protecting yourselves, but it's a good idea to keep your dog on a leash. Speaking of which, in a different thread, TTH mentioned that it would be great if everyone here shared their life stories. As both of you are the librarians here, I kindly ask you to minimize any signs of intimidation or insincerity. It is you people who need to be "banned" here. However, it is quite evident that you hold a negative influence, which God recognizes, therefore you are banned from your own conscience in His eyes.

      One issue with historian Flavius Josephus is that he suggests that the Royal Captain of the (Guard) can also be regarded as General Nebuzaradan. A confusion arises from Josephus' account of the captives mentioned in Jeremiah, as he claims that they were taken from Egypt instead of Babylon. Since Nebuchadnezzar was occupied in Rilah, he directed his generals to lay siege to Jerusalem. This could potentially account for the numerous dispatches that Nebuchadnezzar would have sent to the west, but the considerable distance to Borsippa still poses a challenge. As a result, the Babylonians managed to gain control of regions such as Aram (Syria), Ammon, and Moab. The only territories that remained were the coastal cities, where the Egyptians held sway. King Josiah decided to form an alliance with Babylon instead of being under Egyptian rule. So, that part of the territory was covered until King Josiah was defeated.  It's interesting how they started back then in 4129, but still end up with the same conclusion with Zedekiah's Defeat 3522 607 B.C. 3419 607 B.C. even though their AM is different.

      Found it, thanks. You are correct.

      In the era of the Bible Students within the Watchtower, there were numerous beginnings. It is essential to bear in mind that each congregation functioned autonomously, granting the Elders the freedom to assert their own assertions and interpretations. Most people embraced the principles that Pastor Russell was trying to convey. You could argue that what you are experiencing now, they also experienced back then. The key difference is that unity was interpreted differently. Back then it had value where today there is none. To address your inquiry, while I cannot recall the exact details, it is believed to have been either 4129 or 4126. Some groups, however, adopted Ussher's 4004. It is worth mentioning that they have now discarded it and revised it to either 3954 or 3958, although I personally find little interest in this matter. I believe I encountered this information in the book titled "The Time is at Hand," though it may also be referenced in their convention report. Regardless, this is part of their compelling study series 3. Please take a moment to review and confirm the date. I am currently focused on Riblah. The Bible Students who firmly believe that Israel is the prophetic sign of Armageddon have made noteworthy adjustments to their chronology. They have included significant dates such as 1947/8 and 1967/8, as well as more recent dates. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that, according to their calculations, 2024 holds immense importance. The ongoing tension of Iran targeting Israel directly from its own territory amplifies the gravity of the situation. If their trajectory continues, the subsequent captivating event will occur in 2029, rather than as previously speculated, in 2034 by some.
