In 2005, the UN Secretary General launched an initiative to advance a vision of the world not as it is, but as it should be.
A vision of a world in which different faiths and cultures can not only live side by side in peace, but come together for the good of all peoples, everywhere.
This vision is the Alliance of Civilizations.
I invite you to watch THE ALLIANCE, a short film about our project. See how we are working to implement practical, on the ground initiatives which make a difference in the lives of communities. Be inspired. And become a part of the Alliance of Civilizations.

The Basics—
Are you ready for a global currency?
Worldwide money may be on the horizon as a way of simplifying the planet’s 190 currencies — the Esperanto of money.
Goodbye, dollar. So long, euro and yen. Hello, dey!
Dey? It’s a proposed combination of the three currencies, which could eventually form the basis of a global currency.
A worldwide money won’t emerge any day soon. Still, it’s a longtime dream of some economists, who point out several advantages to simplifying the jumble of nearly 190 currencies. For starters, the world trades about $1.2 trillion worth of currencies a day. If that market disappeared, it would save companies and individuals hundreds of billions of dollars a year in foreign-exchange and hedging costs. 
Another benefit: no more national currency crises, which have riled Argentina, Mexico, Thailand and Russia in recent years. No country would have a balance-of-payments problem or need to maintain reserves of foreign assets, such as currency or bonds, to counter dramatic fluctuations in the market.
Don’t let retirementsneak up on you.
Create a perfect plan. The end of currency fluctuations would also stabilize international business. Manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic, for example, would no longer have to adjust to huge changes, such as the slide in the value of the euro from $1.17 initially in 1999 to 83 cents two years ago then back up to about $1.22. The value of stocks and other assets in countries now subject to high currency risks and inflation would also soar hugely as investors became more reassured of values.Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker has said a truly globalized world economy needs a global currency. The pitfalls of global currency.
But world money has drawbacks too. No single nation could adjust its domestic monetary policy to remedy a specific economic situation. So the Fed could no longer lower interest rates to counteract an economic slump.Also, central banks would not be in competition to maintain low-inflation rates for their money. Then there’s the question of management. The Federal Reserve is independent of the White House, but is a creature of Congress and thereby not fully independent of the political process. So it “must always look over its shoulder to see how Congress is responding to its policies,” says Richard Cooper, a Harvard economist who proposes a common currency for the major industrial democracies. If finding a good governance system for a nation’s central bank is hard, finding one for the industrial democracies, or the world, could prove even more difficult, he concedes. Then there are the human ties. Losing a national currency is “a very emotional thing,” says John Marthinsen, an economist at Babson College in Wellesley, Mass. “It’s like losing your flag.” Currency consolidation around the world.
Still, there are moves to consolidate currencies — of which the euro is only the most obvious example. Eight former French colonies in Africa have long shared a common currency. Since 1981, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has provided the EC dollar to about a dozen island nations, including Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica, Montserrat and St. Lucia. Next year, the Gulf Cooperation Council plans to launch a common currency for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Also in 2005, the West African Monetary Zone plans to introduce the eco to Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. Proponents are pushing for more. Last month, Robert Mundell, a Columbia University economist and Nobel laureate, and a small group of economists and officials considered plans for a world currency at his personal conference center in Siena, Italy. It is Mr. Mundell, famed for his supply-side economic theories, who talks of the “dey.” Also last month, the Single Global Currency Association held a conference on a world currency. It attracted only eight speakers and three attendees, says Morrison Bonpasse, who sold his temp agency last year to form the group. His timetable for a world currency: 2024.

UN and INTERPOL are ‘natural partners’
in boosting global security – Ban
UN Police nurture faith in justice. They forge trust in uniformed men and women. They generate confidence that peace can succeed.
11 October 2009 – Welcoming a new agreement between the United Nations and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to enhance policing cooperation in post-conflict areas, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the two organizations “natural partners” in boosting security and peace.
Increasingly, leaders are coming to appreciate the role of police in restoring stability after war, Mr. Ban said in a video message to a two-day ministerial meeting in Singapore convened by the UN and INTERPOL.
Demands on UN Police (UNPOL) continue to grow because “we help individuals, we uplift whole societies. UN Police nurture faith in justice. They forge trust in uniformed men and women. They generate confidence that peace can succeed,” he said.
UN Police nurture faith in justice. They forge trust in uniformed men and women. They generate confidence that peace can succeed
The challenges, including the spectre of economic collapse and fear, in carrying out the “life-saving” work are massive, the Secretary-General stressed, adding that “the only way to succeed is to join forces.”
An action plan on global police peacekeeping is essential, he said, appealing for continued support to help victims of conflict and promote greater respect for the rule of law.
The demise of the dollar
“Into the streets they will throw their very silver, and an abhorrent thing their own gold will become.—Ezekiel 7:19
In a graphic illustration of the new world order, Arab states have launched secret moves with China, Russia and France to stop using the US currency for oil trading
By Robert Fisk
In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency
planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.
Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank
governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.
The plans, confirmed to The Independent by both Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong, may help to explain the sudden rise in gold prices
, but it also augurs an extraordinary transition from dollar markets within nine years.
The Americans, who are aware the meetings have taken place – although they have not discovered the details – are sure to fight this international cabal which will include hitherto loyal allies Japan and the Gulf Arabs. Against the background to these currency meetings, Sun Bigan, China’s former special envoy to the Middle East, has warned there is a risk of deepening divisions between China and the US over influence and oil in the Middle East. “Bilateral quarrels and clashes are unavoidable,” he told the Asia and Africa Review. “We cannot lower vigilance against hostility in the Middle East over energy interests and security.”
This sounds like a dangerous prediction of a future economic war between the US and China over Middle East oil – yet again turning the region’s conflicts into a battle for great power supremacy. China uses more oil incrementally than the US because its growth is less energy efficient. The transitional currency in the move away from dollars, according to Chinese banking sources, may well be gold. An indication of the huge amounts involved can be gained from the wealth of Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar who together hold an estimated $2.1 trillion in dollar reserves.
The decline of American economic power linked to the current global recession was implicitly acknowledged by the World Bank president Robert Zoellick. “One of the legacies of this crisis may be a recognition of changed economic power relations,” he said in Istanbul ahead of meetings this week of the IMF and World Bank. But it is China’s extraordinary new financial power – along with past anger among oil-producing and oil-consuming nations at America’s power to interfere in the international financial system – which has prompted the latest discussions involving the Gulf states.
Brazil has shown interest in collaborating in non-dollar oil payments, along with India. Indeed, China appears to be the most enthusiastic of all the financial powers involved, not least because of its enormous trade with the Middle East.
China imports 60 per cent of its oil, much of it from the Middle East and Russia. The Chinese have oil production concessions in Iraq – blocked by the US until this year – and since 2008 have held an $8bn agreement with Iran to develop refining capacity and gas resources. China has oil deals in Sudan (where it has substituted for US interests) and has been negotiating for oil concessions with Libya, where all such contracts are joint ventures.
Furthermore, Chinese exports to the region now account for no fewer than 10 per cent of the imports of every country in the Middle East, including a huge range of products from cars to weapon systems, food, clothes, even dolls. In a clear sign of China’s growing financial muscle, the president of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, yesterday pleaded with Beijing to let the yuan appreciate against a sliding dollar and, by extension, loosen China’s reliance on US monetary policy, to help rebalance the world economy and ease upward pressure on the euro.
Ever since the Bretton Woods agreements – the accords after the Second World War which bequeathed the architecture for the modern international financial system – America’s trading partners have been left to cope with the impact of Washington’s control and, in more recent years, the hegemony of the dollar as the dominant global reserve currency.
The Chinese believe, for example, that the Americans persuaded Britain to stay out of the euro in order to prevent an earlier move away from the dollar. But Chinese banking sources say their discussions have gone too far to be blocked now. “The Russians will eventually bring in the rouble to the basket of currencies,” a prominent Hong Kong broker told The Independent. “The Brits are stuck in the middle and will come into the euro. They have no choice because they won’t be able to use the US dollar.”
Chinese financial sources believe President Barack Obama is too busy fixing the US economy to concentrate on the extraordinary implications of the transition from the dollar in nine years’ time. The current deadline for the currency transition is 2018.
The US discussed the trend briefly at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh; the Chinese Central Bank governor and other officials have been worrying aloud about the dollar for years. Their problem is that much of their national wealth is tied up in dollar assets.
“These plans will change the face of international financial transactions,” one Chinese banker said. “America and Britain must be very worried. You will know how worried by the thunder of denials this news will generate.”
Iran announced late last month that its foreign currency reserves would henceforth be held in euros rather than dollars. Bankers remember, of course, what happened to the last Middle East oil producer to sell its oil in euros rather than dollars. A few months after Saddam Hussein trumpeted his decision, the Americans and British invaded Iraq.

Hi Gary yes you are right it does get easier i foud this scripture very helpful when i was new in the truth, “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart do not lean upon your own understanding, I all your ways take notice of him and he himself will make your paths straight”. Proverbs 3:5,6 i hope this will help you as it helped me, and you know what Gary you will be suprised at how your questions are answered at your kingdom Hall on the platform its as if Jehovah knows that your are asking a question in your heart/mind and he answers your question on the platform when you go to your meetings at your Kingdom Hall, And yes the truth is so very different from this world in more ways than one, welcome to our spiritual worldwide family keep on the spiritual highway straight on into the new world, see you there, agape love x
this is wonderful, Jehovah God is great
Britain done with Christianity!
The U.N. is REALLY getting tired of the religious extremists

Interesting parallels between the role of UN Peacekeeping forces and the Roman Pax Romana
of the First Century
Pax Romana:
First-century Christians lived under the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. One historian wrote: “Rome had so completely subjugated the peoples of the Mediterranean world that she ended for them ages of almost constant war.” This stability opened the way for early Christians to travel in relative safety throughout the Roman world.
The Roman Empire strove to unite peoples under its strong hand. This policy promoted not only travel, tolerance, and the exchange of ideas but also the concept of international brotherhood. The book On the Road to Civilization states: “The unity of the [Roman] Empire made the field [for Christian preaching] a favorable one. National barriers had been broken down.
A Roman citizen was a citizen of the world. . . . Moreover, a religion that taught the brotherhood of man could be understood in a state which had developed the idea of universal citizenship.”—
Pax Romana, the international peace enforced by Rome, encouraged the expansion of the mines and industries of Cyprus, bringing a boom in trade. Additional income was generated by the (presence of the Roman legions) and by the pilgrims who flocked to honor Aphrodite, the patron deity of the island. As a consequence, new roads, harbors, and lavish public buildings were constructed.
UN:
In 2005, the UN Secretary General launched an initiative to advance a vision of the world not as it is, but as it should be. A vision of a world in which different faiths and cultures can not only live side by side in peace, but come together for the good of all peoples, everywhere…..because “we help individuals, we uplift whole societies. UN Police nurture faith in justice.
They forge trust in uniformed men and women. They generate confidence that peace can succeed
The challenges, including the spectre of economic collapse and fear, in carrying out the “life-saving” work are massive, the Secretary-General stressed, adding that “the only way to succeed is to join forces.”
An action plan on global police peacekeeping is essential, he said, appealing for continued support to help victims of conflict and promote greater respect for the rule of law.
NEW YORK TIMES states:
U.N. forces have helped dig water wells to supply communities and refugee camps in Darfur, Sudan, partly to make up for their own use of water. Peacekeepers have also organized agricultural projects. And the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) has recently designated full-time staff at headquarters and in the field to look at ways to (lighten the environmental burden inherent to hosting large military bases.)
“This is an emerging trend, but one that is still at an early stage,” said Richard Gowan, an associate director at the Center on International Cooperation, a think tank at New York University that often advises U.N. officials on peacekeeping. “It’s combining hearts and minds and humanitarian outreach with, shall we say, the new vogue of environmental priorities.”

Does anyone here know ASL?
OK WATCH THIS AND TELL ME HIS THEME PLEASE
It has a line they arrow. Cab you email it? I then can tell you the theme
say what?
Nothing. Had a block. Play button had line thru it preventing me from being able to play.
That’s a nice comment, Karen … it reminds me of an experience I had this summer at our last District Convention. I met a classmate from my little hometown. We grew up together, playing as children on sandy beaches by the ocean. When I was a child, I was raised in the truth, but she did not come into the truth until many years later. It is amazing what people remember about you … I met her in the corridor of the convention centre. She was so happy to see me there … the returning prodigal son/daughter! Here’s what she said to me:
“Sandra, when we were kids around 7 or 8 years old, on the beach one day you picked up a very tiny piece of seashell and looked at me and said, ‘Patsy, you were this small once inside your mom’s belly. Jehovah God made you grow and grow, until you were born as a baby.’”
Can you believe she remembered that? It must have had an effect on her as a child! (hehehe) I laughed, and said to her, “Well, that was a much better lesson than what we were learning in school … evolution!”
Young children have a sense of God, though parents may not be in the truth. My mother was very conscientious in regard to God and sharing that w/her children. I would pray the “God is great, God is good…” prayer as a child and sing “Jesus loves me, this I know….” song. I remember going to the Methodist church at 5 yrs.old, when we moved to a new town and I was the new girl in Sunday school. There they played, button, button, who has the button…” and I felt less than the others who had a long row of stars by there name for attendance while I had just received one. I remember leaving church and thinking, I thought I was supposed to learn about God at church, and I didn’t learn anything about him. I remember too, sitting on my bed and remembering that the Bible says “God is love.” Yet, though I believed that, I couldn’t understand how he could make people burn forever and ever. Then when I was in 3rd grade, our family started to study w/Jehovah’s Witnesses. I found out that God would never make people burn forever and ever. I learned that his name was Jehovah. From that young age, I believed that was God’s name and loved his name. My path was not a straight one in becoming a witness, as I didn’t get baptized until after I was married and had children. My father was very addicted to cigarettes and died at 45 from it. My mom, was very mild-tempered, never worked outside the home, never drove a car until after my dad died. My mom got baptized at the same convention as I did, in Pittsburgh,Pa, July 2, 1988. My father took us to some meetings, assemblys, and district conventions as a child, and stopped celebrating holidays, though we were not witnesses. It’s been a long road for me, but one thing I know. Jehovah KNOWS us, even as little children, that he is patient w/us and long-suffering. Doesn’t it warm our hearts, are we not thankful? What your friend shared w/you was a moment in time, something special, and never forgotten. I look back too, Sandra, and I see those moments in time that are special to me. Jehovah’s hand is held out to us, it is not too short, it is up to us to grab fast-hold of it. (Isa. 59:1; Isa. 41:10,13)
Beautiful words, Karen . . . thank you. :)
Karen, you really think that children have a concept of God? Really? As adults we have only touched the outer- most fringes ourselves. Children have free minds and spirits. Their brains are like sponges and can absorb so much information. Yet their learning is initiated by the parents interactivity with them. Learning by Music, color and kinetic processes. A baby will not learn to speak if not spoken to.
Of course children can have a concept of God, but I guess it depends on the child. I had love, appreciation and respect for Jehovah, as far back as I can remember as a small child, as a pre-schooler. Later, I remember telling my own daughter about Jehovah, and when she was just 3 years old she said to me, “Mom, where did God come from? Who created Jehovah?” :)
I think we all know where you are coming from, Eric. I think we get it. So, why don’t you move on, take up a new hobby, find another way to totally waste your time. Do you have any friends? If so, maybe you can share your cute comments w/them. You do have friends, don’t you?
Everyone say goodbye to eric…BYE ERIC
I also want to mention that I remember seeing a pamphlet with soldiers dead and bodies going up to heaven and some burning up in fire?I asked my Dad why don’t they just be in heaven and not be shot like that and why is that mam burning when he already dead and been shot?Again I was only 3years old and
sensed something wrong with what I happened to see? Yet I recognized the truth in Paradise List to Paradise regained-my mind understood in the pictures that they are dust and not in a fire or have other bodies floating. What a relief to my psyche at a young age. It certainly relieved and cleared up my concern- no more questions. Yes there is sense of higher power whether one recognizes it as God or not! ;~)
So true, Sandra 123, Jesus said at the Sermon on the mount, “Happy are those CONSCIENCE of their SPIRITUAL NEED…”(Matt:5:3a)You have your own recollections of when you were a child, one w/questions about spiritual things, as I have also. Most of us will. Why? Because we know that we were CREATED that way, otherwise, Jesus comment would not make sense. Our spiritual need, is of course, nurtured or left barren, to shrivel up and die.
One’s heart would direct their course, either one of searching for the truth of God, or if one is selfish or satisfied w/their lot in life, a life of self-absorbtion. Jesus said those who were conscience or recognized their need of the spiritual, would be happy. Eric, I don’t think is happy…he keeps asking questions w/no real desire to get the answers, which is foolishness… it amounts to loving to hear ones own self talk.(again, being self-absorbed). We, on the otherhand, are very happy, are we not!! :)
GOODBYE ERIC,BOREAN and whoever that other guy was…..
LOL…go girl!!
ok…..how did I miss this discussion? Another homerun for Karen :)
Yes Robin, where were you?! I was wondering the same thing myself. :)
Children have a sense of questioning and understanding before they speak.That is why they say Why How When How- It is responsibility of adults to impart proper and accurate knowledge. Yes their brain are like sponges and yes they are impressionable.How many parents have lied and told their children Santa brought gifts, Easter bunny, Problem doesn’t lie with sponge-like brains, it lies with ones allowing their brains soak up lies and wasteful false reasonings. Yet
maturity comes from experience and knowledge.
Even the conscience has to be trained to work
properly. Saying goes like this, “A person with alot
of useless knowledge is no better than
stacks of books on back of a jackass.” The moral of the story is this: Knowledge is useless if one
doesn’t have a sense of the ability to reason and use it properly. I even as a child was only three years old and asked my mother where did I come from and why was she grown and I wasn’t? Why is the sky so big? I was then taught about God. Yet growing up
as an adult was still left with choice to Cknowkedge a supreme being ir not. You can at a young age see yourself and wonder in your child’s mind about your existence; therefore exhibiting a sense of God. When the Bible discussed fondling of the soul; in essence it is saying being stirred within oneself to question, to wonder, to seek, to solve, the need to seek spirituality. Why eternity was put into our hearts to live forever. Do you notice that you can’t sit and pick a day to die? Like Jesus said,”The sheep will hear and know
my voice.” A child understands speech before he speaks.
The new video, Your Baby, The Majesty of Life is beautiful. When we were in our mother’s womb, Jehovah saw the embryo of each one of us…he sees us as a person,even before we are born. Life starts at conception, our parts already decided. My children would be awestruck when they were young, when discussing how each person is special, different from all others. One of them would wonder out loud what they would look like if they had a different parent. I would tell them there is only one egg and one sperm that made them who they are, that it was only that ONE chance of those two meeting and forming a fertilized egg that they could come to be. Someother egg or sperm from the parents would have been a brother or sister, so aren’t they thankful to Jehovah for their very special life! Each person is a unique creation of Jehovah, as he laid the groundwork for couples to have children. Just as each snowflake is unique, each one different than the other…people are like snowflakes…each one unique, created that way by Jehovah God. Do we not appreciate the love Jehovah has shown for us,from our earliest beginnings, when he saw just the embryo of us?
NEW VIDEO—
When you dedicated your life to Jehovah, and symbolize it by water immersion; “YOU” are put on the front line so to speak. When you start to study Jehovah’s word, YOU become a special target for the wicked one and his cohorts. There is no middle ground, you are either for Jehovah or against him, and very soon, the ENTIRE world of mankind will decide whose side they are really on.
Already the governments are going after religion on various level. Take a closer look at current events. Some, if not most of these events are being covered by this site.
It remains to be seen, things will actually play out, but rest assured of this, We will be surprise how it unfolds before our eyes. Keep on the watch.
In line with your last words there, Brother Mark, I’d like to add to what you said by drawing everyone’s attention to something that was said at our “Keep on the Watch” District Convention this summer:
Talk: “Until I expire I Shall Not Take Away My Integrity” —
1. Am I determined to keep my integrity despite persecutions and hardship?
2. Am I determined to stay on the watch?
A positive answer to these 2 questions will prove Satan a Liar!
— Notice that the Faithful Slave links ’staying on the watch’ with ‘maintaining our integrity.’ So, yes, keep on the watch, everyone! It IS important!
The Secretary General is saying there is a need for UN police, that these uniformed men and women will promote confidence in people, to believe that there will be peace, especially a presence is needed for those who are in fear of an economic collapse and other situations that could arise. He stresses this action plan of global peace-keeping is essential. The Secretary General’s remarks are like hand-writing on the wall of things to come. Thankyou for sharing this, and may we continue to be alert as we help others to take to heart Jesus’ warning to “keep on the watch.”
Great add, love the tactical analogy!
Excellent section JWN…beautifully put together.
I will give a indepth comment later this evening….
Does Morrison Bonpasse really believe that a global currency (the dey) is that far away? 2024? Did you see the drop of the US dollar on today’s market???? Get real!
Foolish men. Not wise he chooses to be stupid.:)
You can see it all coming together now, it’s scary(the Great Tribulation) and exciting (a paradise earth).
I like Luke 21:28″…raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up,because your deliverance is getting near.”
I pray to Jehovah to have the strength to deal with, what ever may come my way, and survive into the new system.
When Jehovah’s people are faced with severe tests of their integrity (as in the Roman circus), it’s not their strength that sustains them, but the Holy Spirit. If you have the privilege to make an answer to Satan in this way, this means Jehovah sees you have the integrity to succeed. Remember also, that the Great Tribulation is a time of “relief” for Jehovah’s people, it is from Jehovah, directed at the world, to repay them for the tribulation they imposed all these years on the Anointed.
The Anointed in heaven are chomping at the bit to avenge their deaths, and the blood of their fallen comrades:
Their “rest” will be over soon, very soon, as Jesus winds up his search for the final selection of the Anointed ones. We can assist by engaging in the “dragnet” work to beach as many as possible, so he can look them over, and make his choices, then this world will taste the business end of the 144,001.
I know it is God’s holy spirit that gives us the strength to combat trials, but we need to view adversary in a certain way,or we will wimp out,eg. Jonah running away from his assignment.
I just hope I don’t fall to pieces in the last hour.
My personal experience of being in the truth for 24 years, and going through various trials, is Jehovah can some times (as it appears to me) leave things to the very last minute, before he steps in.
I know it is all a question of refinement.
Jehovah is mouldering people for everlasting life, but we can all feel anxious at times, wondering what twist Jah is going to allow in our life, for us to answer Satan.
I got it…I was just trying to re-enforce your confidence that we will succeed when the time comes, and should not judge or underestimate our level of integrity while not under severe trial. The thing to do now is to have a proper view of trials as they come, and not pray that Jehovah removes them, but we allow them to run full course.
This is basic training for the time when we will be asked to step up to the plate.
Search out those who prefer to discuss the Kingdom even in social settings, and stick close to them, while keeping an eye on those that try to silence you when you bring up Jehovah, or the Kingdom.
Why would the Faithful Slave feel the need to help us to “Identify God’s Loyal Ones”, unless they are among “DIS-loyal” ones?
It’s for our protection.
Thxs for upbuilding reply JWN.
Is the American way of spelling “disscution” as in Join the… , different, from the British way “discussion”?
Can my name be shorted to Sian, as it seems no one else is using their surname.
No, “discussion” is correct. Did you find a mystpeld werd? I’ll let others help you with your name thing, don’t you guys fill that out?
Yaw spellin is diffrent. I ain’t got nare idear watchu trine t’do. Over yonder itsa this or dat. Don’t rekin madders enhowl. You got youngins’? Who’s he maw or paw. LOL..We at playin wid you.
Sian, I personally sick of this system of things; Total reliance on Jehovah. Continually feed spiritually. Stay close to the organization Seek spiritual ones and associate. Always pray. I talk to Jehovah about everything even what to spend on groceries!
Hello Sandra 123,
I didn’t really think it was an Americanism, but I just wanted to bring it to attention, without sounding like one of those people who nitpicks over spelling.
I have a son and daughter.
Son has never been in truth, daughter baptized but stopped coming to meetings a few years ago.
They have their own lives and families.
I have been on my own,21 years since I split up with my husband (through violence when I first came into the truth).
Praying to Jehovah is my lifeline. He really is first in my life (then my 2 dogs).
Where are you from? how long have you been a witness? Do you all know each other, or did you meet on this site?
Sian….I believe everyone met on this website. Some of the friends here are from Canada, England,US and I think Australia.
Me included. It’s nice to have you here. I have been serving Jehovah over 25 years and I have found JWN to be a very encouraging website. Where are you from?
Hi Robin, just been reading all the comments,(that Eric was a good laugh wasn’t he?). I am trying to figure out if Eric, Carman ,MLVC and Sister Dee are all related.
I have been a sister for 24 years, and I live in Wales, UK. Because I have health problems, my meeting attendance is very irregular, although I keep up with my Bible studies.
I am beginning to really like this site. I love some of the comments I read, they are really on the ball.
It is nice to hear the views of brothers and sisters based on scriptural principles.
So, nice to say hello to you Robin, will speak again.
Siân
Sian,
I am just now, reading your comment. I don’t know why but sometimes I don’t receive comments that are posted. Does your congregation have phone hook up to listen at home? We only have minutes left in this system….pray to Jehovah to provide a way for you to get to the meetings if at all possible…
talk to you soon. Much love to you, Robin
Really? That is a little extreme there girl. Jehovah wants us to be free not co-dependent. Wooo!
Well, there’s something on here for everybody! (hehehe)
Couldn’t have put it better myself Gary
I don’t know if anyone has ever been a soldier before but, this is a lot like waiting and waiting before a big battle. The anxiety from just waiting and puting up with this planet can be so extreme sometimes. This system is horrible in so many ways i just want it to end whether i make it or not. May Jehovah’s name be sanctified, and let something right happen for a change.
I just want this tribulation to start and lets roll with it.
If your feeling heat, and taking sniper fire, then you must be perceived as a threat by the enemy. What a compliment. Come on up to the front lines, and you’ll see the battle from a whole different perspective.
JWN
Thannk you JWN i will keep what you say in mind i keep feeling the heat even from my carer who refused a magazine from me when i spoke to her about Jehovah a couple of weeks ago recently the carer refused to support me useing my bible trained conscience as the reason for doing so, we aint seen nothing yet its going to get worse then then when Jehovah thinks enough is enough of his people being attacked he will step in and put a stop to it all once and for all we are truly blessed to have a loving heavenly father like Jehovah, Satan eat your heart out lol lol lol heh heh heh yayyyy love you all agape x
Totally aggree with u Sis Kirk. Our dear loving father Jehovah is allowing this for a little bit more to save the meek ones and they are still out there. I remember hearing the experience of the two brothers who went to the field service one day. One of the brother said that while they were having a nice conversation with a sweet old lady at her door a very rude man (who also lives in the neighborhood) interupted their conversation and started asking them, actually shouting at them as to what they were doing in the there. The brother (A) kindly explained their purpose but this man kept on shouting at them and it scared the old sweet lady that shut her door. As soon as the rude man left, the brother (A) got exited that he rushed from the next door to the next to the next. Well the other brother (B) was puzzled as to what gotten into the bor, why all of a sudden the rush – he thought that brother (A) went nuts. So brother (A) explained to brother (B) that the reason why he got exited because he knew that there’s a sheep in the neighborhood and satan don’t want them to find her (hint). Unfortunately they didn’t find the sheep that day but the following day when the brothers met, brother (B) was all smile. So bro (A) asked why the big grin. Well, brother (B) said that they found the sheep and they are going back there to conduct a bible study – and said guess what where the sheep was right in front of the house of the old sweet lady that they talked to. Opposite her house was a sheep. Imagine that and looks like the old sweet lady is also a sheep. So yes, satan will do everything to discourage us to find the sheeplike ones. Also, think about this, we are becoming harder and harder in a sence that we are not easily dettered by these things – like diamonds – Jehovah is training us preparing us for the coming GT so that we will not suffer shock. So on with our Armageddon training class (meetings) until Jehovah God says it’s enough!

For four years, Gary, that’s exactly how I felt, each and every day! But, back then, my husband and children (whom I love dearly) were attending meetings along with me. Today, they are not at all interested in the truth, and I am so very scared for them. Each extra day that we have gives me the opportunity to speak about Jehovah’s love to them, and I am so thankful to Jehovah for that. If it falls on deaf ears, I am happy in knowing that I tried. I love Jehovah more than anything else in this world, and my family knows this. No one wants to see Jehovah’s name magnified and vindicated MORE than I do. And I cannot wait for Satan’s evil system to end. But we have to leave things in Jehovah’s hands … after all, what are we? dust? a drop in the bucket? … yet we are very precious in his sight! What a wonderful privilege we have in helping to vindicate his name and uphold his universal sovereignty!
Thank you both very much for your words. I have not been in the truth for very long but, i think it MAY get easier?
Its funny how the truth is so different than the world. In the world you have to rely on yourself. In the truth, you MUST rely on Jehovah. Old habbits are hard to break..lol.
Take care
Your brother
