Personal Comments


What verse from the Bible has helped you to strengthen your relationship with Jehovah?


I appreciate the words at Isaiah 64:8: “O Jehovah, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are our Potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Through this verse, I hear Jehovah reassuring me that I am precious to him. I am determined to trust Jehovah as my Father. He has already done so much for me. He has answered my prayers in amazing ways and demonstrated his loving qualities to me. I have no doubt that he will fulfill his promises to put everything back in order.


Although we are saddened by the persecution of our dear brothers and sisters, we are determined to “show a waiting attitude for the God of [our] salvation” as we confidently look forward to future blessings.—Micah 7:7.

 RUSSIA Appeal in Moscow Toughens the Punishment for One of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Terms for Two Other Believers Remain Intact October 4, 2024 Moscow On October 3, 2024, the verdict against Anatoliy Marunov, Sergey Tolokonnikov and Roman Mareyev came into force. At the same time, the Moscow City Court added two months to Tolokonnikov's term. Three believers received from four and a half to six and a half years in prison.

Roman Mareyev stressed that the decision of the first instance violates Article 28 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which guarantees freedom of conscience and religion. He also noted: "The court did not establish the presence of motives of religious hatred or enmity in my actions, and did not establish agai...

 RUSSIA Appeal in Samara Upholds the Conviction of Aleksandr Dolganov — Three Years in Prison for Faith in Jehovah God October 1, 2024 Samara Region On September 27, 2024, the panel of judges of the Samara Regional Court agreed with the decision of the first instance in the case of Aleksandr Dolganov.

According to this decision, Dolganov should serve his sentence a month and a half earlier.
