Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays, birthdays, or engage in political activities. They also discourage higher education and extracurricular activities due to beliefs that only a small number will be saved and pursuit of education/career could distract from faith. Adapting the curriculum raises concerns about accommodating the religious beliefs of students while ensuring they meet learning objectives.
This document provides information about Jehovah's Witnesses, including their beliefs, practices, and history. Some key points:
- Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jehovah God and do not believe in the Trinity or immortal soul. They do not believe those who are not Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved.
- They go door-to-door to preach based on instructions from Jesus to make disciples of all nations. Their name signifies proclaiming truths about Jehovah.
- They have over 19 million members worldwide in over 100,000 congregations. Their modern organization began in the late 19th century led by Bible students including Charles Russell.
The Jehovah's Witnesses religion was founded in 1870 by Charles Taze Russell. They believe that Jehovah is the only true God and do not believe in the Trinity. They also believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel and that only Jehovah's Witnesses will survive Armageddon. Members are expected to evangelize and are prohibited from celebrating holidays, serving in the military, or accepting blood transfusions.

The document discusses how Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the ultimate "game changer" that transforms life. It notes that if Christ did not rise from the dead, then Christian preaching is useless, faith is in vain, believers are still in their sins, and those who have died believing in Christ have perished. However, the resurrection means that through Christ, believers are no longer slaves to sin or bound by death but have eternal life. The resurrection is presented as the pivotal historical event that underpins Christian faith and provides freedom and hope.

It examines passages from 1 Corinthians and Hebrews emphasizing that what one believes affects how they live, and that failing to believe could lead to spiritual weakness or loss of salvation. Living above the line means fully embracing these foundational truths about Jesus' death and resurrection.

This document discusses evidence that Jesus claimed to be God and provides proof of his deity. It notes that Jesus frequently referred to God as "my Father" and made statements equating himself with God, which shocked his listeners. Jesus performed miracles like healing the sick and controlling nature that demonstrated supernatural power. The most compelling evidence was his resurrection from the dead, which he had predicted. After his crucifixion and burial, the empty tomb was discovered, and Jesus appeared to his disciples on multiple occasions, convincing them he had risen from the dead as he said, proving he is God.

This document discusses how becoming a Christian brings initial excitement but that feeling is often short-lived as troubles of life can steal hope. It explains that when one becomes a Christian, they are spiritually an infant and must grow by consuming God's word. The author argues that too many Christians try to handle adult problems with an infant spirit, and that believers need to practice their faith to grow spiritually rather than remaining spiritual infants through constant consumption of scripture.

Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing Slides, 4/22/12CLADSM
The document discusses the true gospel and contrasts it with false or distorted versions. It emphasizes that the central message of Christianity is that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 15. It warns against abandoning this true gospel or preaching a contrary gospel, citing passages from Galatians. The gospel is centered on Christ and attained through faith, not works, as elaborated in Philippians.
Working in the nursery: Build it Right series 1 Corinthians 3:1-10Ed Sullivan
We are people called by God to share the gospel and grow in faith. Leaders serve by planting seeds of faith and nurturing believers, but it is God alone who causes spiritual growth. While leaders have different roles, they work as one for the same purpose. Believers must take care how they build upon the foundation of faith laid by leaders, growing in spiritual maturity through God's enabling power.
The document provides commentary on Ephesians 4:1-10. It summarizes Paul's message in these verses as encouraging Christians to walk together in unity through humility, gentleness, patience and love. It notes that spiritual gifts are given to believers by Christ to build up the church. The commentary explores concepts like humility, unity, and the ascension of Christ in light of this passage from Ephesians.
Paul was shocked that the Galatians were turning to a different gospel taught by those who wanted to distort the true gospel of Christ. Paul warns that if anyone, including an angel, teaches a gospel contrary to what was originally received, they should be eternally condemned. The Judaizing teachers were demanding Gentile Christians follow the Law of Moses to be saved, but Paul says there is only one gospel that can save. Paul would still be shocked today by those who pervert the gospel by ignoring or loosening its demands, and insists there remains only one true gospel.
The document compares and contrasts the perspectives of religion/Pharisees and the Gospel/Father's Heart. It notes that religion focuses on obeying rules to be accepted by God and is motivated by fear, while the Gospel teaches that we are accepted by God and obey out of gratitude. It discusses how views of prayer, criticism, identity, and other areas differ between legalistic religion and understanding God's love and acceptance through Christ.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
The document provides an overview and summary of Ephesians 5:1-14 from the Bible. It discusses key points such as imitating God through walking in love as Christ loved us, avoiding sins like sexual immorality and greed, and living as children of light rather than darkness. Paul encourages believers to distance themselves from unfruitful works of darkness and instead live in a way that exposes the light of Christ. The goal is for Christians to grow in sanctification by becoming more like Christ through their behaviors, words, and lifestyle choices.
1. The document discusses 7 things that rob Christian joy according to a study on the book of Philippians. These include: disunity among believers, disobedient living, grumbling, suffering of others, legalism, worldly living, and worry.
2. It provides biblical examples for each joy robber, such as passages about unity from Philippians and Psalms, contrasts between obedient and disobedient living, Jesus weeping at the death of Lazarus.
3. The document encourages discussing which joy robber most impacts the reader and how to retain joy in difficult times, and ends by asking if readers are pursuing happiness or joy, fellowship, unity and a life rooted in Christ.
1. The document discusses living a life of sexual holiness and abstaining from sexual immorality as commanded by God. It explores what behaviors constitute sexual immorality and how Christians should navigate living in a sexually permissive culture.
2. Christians are called to control their bodies in holiness and honor by not giving in to lustful passions like those who don't know God. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and should glorify God, not sexual immorality.
3. Believers must prepare daily to battle lust and fight desire with the superior pleasure found in God. Lust should be replaced by embracing the healing and grace of Jesus Christ.
The document discusses the importance of contentment and how it is unrelated to one's circumstances or possessions. It notes that Paul learned to be content in any situation, and that contentment comes from trusting in God rather than relying on worldly things. The document provides several Bible passages about finding satisfaction and fulfillment in God. It identifies ways to develop contentment, such as focusing on relationships over self, rejoicing in obedience, accepting less than what is deserved, having faith in God's presence and love, turning to prayer and thanksgiving in all things, and focusing one's thoughts on virtues praised in scripture.
HEY YOU! VOCATION DISCERNMENT & THEOLOGY OF THE BODYSr. Helena Burns
This document appears to be a presentation on vocation discernment. It discusses what a vocation is, the different types of vocations including marriage and religious life, and signs that someone may have a calling to religious life or priesthood. It emphasizes that while not everyone is called to religious life or priesthood, everyone is called to either marriage or virginity consecrated to God. The presentation provides guidance on discerning one's vocation and encourages prayer, trust in God, and speaking with a spiritual director or religious sister.
Paul urges the Ephesians to walk in a manner worthy of their calling by demonstrating humility, gentleness, patience, and love for one another. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining unity within the church through the bond of peace. Paul highlights the "one" body, Spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism and God that Christians share. He then explains that Christ has given spiritual gifts to each believer according to his grace, referring to Christ's ascension to heaven after conquering sin and death through his sacrifice.
The document is a summary of Ephesians 3:1-13 from the Bible. It discusses how Paul sees his imprisonment as an opportunity to preach the gospel to Gentiles. The summary is:
1) Paul sees his imprisonment as an opportunity to spread the gospel to Gentiles and bring them into fellowship with God.
2) The mystery of Christ that was revealed to Paul is that Gentiles are fellow heirs with Jews through faith in Christ.
3) Paul wants the Ephesians not to lose heart over his suffering, as it brings God glory and allows God's wisdom to be made known.
The document discusses how believers can maintain spiritual stability through rejoicing in the Lord. It says that knowing God through studying His attributes in Scripture allows Christians to rejoice even during hard times. It also emphasizes having a gentle spirit and remembering that the Lord is near provides stability, encouraging believers not to be anxious but to cast their cares on God through prayer. Maintaining a right view of God's greatness, love, and power enables one to stand firm in their faith.
This document provides commentary on Philippians 4:4-7. It discusses how spiritual stability comes from knowing God and rejoicing in Him rather than circumstances. True joy and contentment are found by meditating on God's character and promises in Scripture. Christians are commanded to have gracious humility toward others and not to be anxious because the Lord is near to help through all of life's troubles. Relying on God builds confidence even when difficult times come.

The document discusses the importance of love according to 1 John 4:7-12. It says that God showed his love for us by sending his Son to be the atonement for our sins. Because of how much God has loved us, we ought to love one another. When we love one another, God remains in us and his love is perfected in us.
There’s a lot of empty space with people making empty claims about God and Jesus and life and truth, but those quite frankly don’t add up, they sound good, but they’re hollow like this wall, and they can’t support the weight of your life, and if you try to anchor yourself to it, you’ll fall.
This document discusses how Jesus Christ serves as our advocate and the propitiation for our sins. It notes that if we sin, we have an advocate in Jesus, who turned God's righteous anger into favor through his sacrifice. It emphasizes the importance of keeping God's commandments and walking as Jesus walked in order to know that we abide in him.
The Real Deal: The DIY Fake Jesus FilterCompassChurch
If you try to get me to get excited about a Jesus who went 90% of the way, that’s a crappy Jesus. If the Jesus you’re showing me did not completely cover my sin, so that my whole life is now lived in gratitude toward him, then you’ve got a FAKE JESUS.
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

2. But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual
people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in
Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you
were not ready for it. And even now you are not
yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while
there is jealousy and strife among you, are you
not of the flesh and

says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow
Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
