Thursday, August 13

The one who testifies faithfully will tell the truth.—Prov. 12:17.

 

What should you do if the authorities restrict the Kingdom activity in your land and you are called in for questioning about your brothers? Must you tell them everything you know? What did Jesus do when he was interrogated by the Roman governor? In line with the Scriptural principle that there is “a time to be silent and a time to speak,” Jesus at times said nothing at all! (Eccl. 3:1, 7; Matt. 27:11-14) In such a setting, discretion is the better course, so that we do not put our brothers at risk. (Prov. 10:19; 11:12) What will you do if a close friend or relative has committed a serious sin and you know about the matter? “Tell the truth.” You have a responsibility to tell the elders the whole truth, and you must not distort it. They have a right to know the facts so that they can determine the best way to help the wrongdoer restore his or her relationship with Jehovah.—Jas. 5:14, 15. w18.10 10 ¶17-18

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

What Jesus did is considered "Theocratic Warfare"?

I don't understand your point. Can you explain what you mean?

We are watching the videos in the Enduring Trials section of the Interviews and Experiences on jw.org. Last night we watched the story of Herman van Elburg who died without betraying his brothers.
