Picky eaters ... should grow up In case of allergies, that's another thing. Ask if there is something they don't eat? Make a casserole the day before?

This is an opinion based on conscience. Someone else may not consider execution an act of violence. On the other hand, some might consider it state-sanctioned murder. Bottom line is it is not appropriate for a Christian to make a blanket statement that something is not appropriate for a Christian if there is no clear scripture command. As we are learning these past couple of years, Jehovah expects us to stand on our own and apply our God-given reasoning ability in applying Bible principles to reach conclusions for which there are no direct scriptural guidelines.

What are your suggestions for meals when providing hospitality? I figure it would be convenient if it's something pre-made the day before that can just be heated up in the oven or on the stove. Or do you have suggestions for something that can be made quickly on the spot? Something that even more picky eaters will enjoy? The friends here don't really want to hang out for a long time. That's why everyone just takes them to a restaurant that's around the corner from the hall. But not many want to provide hospitality, so it starts adding up for the few that do. Especially if you yourself are a family of 5.

I agree. Christians hate violence. Any execution is a violent act. Why watch what Jehovah hates? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like I said, that's your decision.

Thank you for your contribution to these works. There are a few others who have done similar. If we start getting posts about the various topics in the book we can pin this like we have the others here

Romans 13:4 Who's LBJ? Lyndon B Johnson?

As the application due day has passed, are all who have applied for one of the intl’ conventions getting excited?

Wow!!! Very Touching. Thank you very much.

Me Smiling like a baby watching this... Thanks for sharing

Yes You're ready!!!

Yes You're Ready!!!

Of course Brother.. You're very kind... I'm sorry for the delay. Thank you.

I don't think watching such medieval-era act of violence would be appropiate for a christian.

Those of us old enough to remember LBJ can remember his strong personality and how the Vietnam war ruined his political career. I have seen a lot of people comparing LBJ and Trump.

I’m glad the woman received the help she needed! It reminded me of this case, where our brothers helped this man escape slave labor in Japan (the video is in Portuguese, but you can turn on translated subtitles).

Please see my post on Sept 20, 2026

Yeah, maybe. Public executions are supposed to deter people from crime and solidify the governments power and authority. However history shows it isn't very effective.

Gastroenterologist is the doctor who treats someone who has celiac.

Do we have updated version of these? I can't install them

In the last years I wrote books about the New World. On my site you can see it. Schrijven – Aad van Hagen. There is a translation button below. Most of them only in Dutch. Accept the main book with the title The New World. The New World – Aad van Hagen. That book is translated in English. My books are read by many brothers and sisters and I got a lot of positive reactions. In the introduction I explained that it is a product of meditation and imagination. Only read it with that in mind. I am an elder for 50 years now and was very careful with publishing this book. It is positive written with a lot of respect. Bethel sees it as a personal case. The meditation is also research. Questions as 'How should I imagine a Paradise. How do we get food? How will we treat animals. How and when will persons be resurrected? What is the role of the kingdom?' It is not a technical writing but we follow one of the survivors. In the later paragraphs he is also in contact with loyal brothers from ancient Israel, such as David and Daniel. You can download it from Apple Books or Google Play Books. Search on my name 'Aad van Hagen' and you see my books.

In Locminé, Jehovah’s Witnesses alerted the police, bringing an end to the ordeal of a woman who had been subjected to physical assaults, insults, and other forms of psychological abuse. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison without suspension by the Lorient court on Monday, September 28. It was by knocking on the door of a house in Locminé on September 24 that two Jehovah’s Witnesses brought an end to the ordeal of a 46-year-old woman who had been subjected to her partner’s violent outbursts. The man appeared before the Lorient court on September 28 for an immediate trial. Last Thursday, the victim broke down in front of the two women, telling them about the beatings and insults before showing them her injuries. Terrified and threatened with death, she had not dared to go to the police. The two Jehovah’s Witnesses then alerted law enforcement. https://www.letelegramme.fr/morbihan/pontivy-56300/a-locmine-elle-confie-son-calvaire-aux-temoins-de-jehovah-son-compagnon-condamne-a-un-an-et-demi-de-prison-ferme-7127081.php

Cause by poor diet is the root of the problem said the Gastroenterologist

Im not suprised he got capital punishment for killing 13 persons. According to the article last public execution was in 1936. I think killing a murderer in front of victims family is one thing or in front of people close to the crime but streaming it live for billions to watch is something else entirely.
