My Favorite President

Personally, I don't have a favorite president. Why
don't I have one? To me, all presidents are just like
any average guy who, even if it's for the best, his
promises won't come true or if they do, they never last.
Why can I say this with such confidence? Well, the very
Bible, in Jeremiah 10:23 says," I well know, O Jehovah,
that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not
belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." In this
text, we are told that to man, that is away from the guidance
of Jehovah, his way does not belong, meaning that if they can't
guide themselves, then you can't expect them to guide or rule
others, even less to keep their promises.
The one person who I do want to talk about is Jehovah God. He
is the only one who can solve all the problems ,that mankind,
or the presidents say that they will fix, for good. One thing that brings
lots of hope is that he not only has the power to get rid of
the problems that bring pain to mankind, but he also has the desire to
do it. In Revelation 21:4, we are given a glimps of what he will do,
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death
will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be
anymore. The former things have passed away." Can you imagine
it? A world were death, our greatest enemy, will be no more, and
suffering and pain will vanish! Soon Jehovah God will bring
this new order and you will see for yourself that the only person
who can really bring order is the one and only, Jehovah God.

My Favorite Music

I am personally not familiar with Chopin's
pieces, but I do like this one that I've just
heard. Pretty much the only reason that I
like this piece is that, like all piano music and
classical music, it is very soothing, almost
therapeutical.

"Regrettable" behaviors of "famous" people

Well, my opinion about Michael Phelps getting
caught doing drugs is no big deal. The real problem
is that people, as always, tend to tag any "famous"
person as their role model. How do I know this? It's
very simple, if it had been any other everyday guy
doing drugs no one would have cared. People who
do this are not following what is said to us in
Psalms 146:3 ," Do not put your trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs."
As we are told here, we mustn't put our trust in "nobles",
or in this case "famous" or renown people, because
they usually will let you down in some way, in this case
doing drugs in secret.
Now that I mention the fact of doing things in secret,
Hebrews 4:13 comes to my mind, it says,"And there is not
a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things
are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom
we have an accounting." This text gives us the certainty
that no one, no matter how carefully they hide an act, can
hide anything from Jehovah God. Something that is also
really interesting, is the fact that when people hide something
is because even they know that what they are doing is wrong.
So a word of advise that we can get from this is that since
we can't hide anything from Jehovah God, then we must
simply follow his sacred norms to be of his liking.

If I could live anywhere in the world

You know, I don't mind living in any
particular place right now. Why? Well, no
matter where you live in this world you can't
escape all the problems that you see. As stated
in the Bible, in 1 John 5:19 it is said," We know
we originate with God, but the whole world
is lying in the [power of the] wicked one. As we
can see here, the whole world is in control of Satan
the Devil, so anywhere we go we will find his influence.
But, what does this influence do to people? Well,
it makes them exhibit all of the qualities of Satan.
In union with the fact that we are in the "last days"
as said in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 it is said how," men will
be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming,
haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection,
not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control,
fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong,
puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than
lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but
proving false to its power". As you can see, these qualities
are the ones that are produced by Satan's influence in
people.
With that in mind you might be asking yourself,"Okay, so
no matter where we live we are doomed to suffer from
these things?" No. Very soon now, thanks to the sacrifice
of Jesus Christ, Satan and his followers, plus all of the
sorrowful conditions will be destroyed forever. How can
one be sure that this wonderful promise is true and not
just a mere fantasy? In 2 Peter 3:13 it says,"But there are
new heavens and and a new earth that we are awaiting
according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to
dwell." Here, these new heavens and earth are the restored
global paradise in which we will not only be freed from
Satan's influence but also from death and we will finally
live in the true place where we want to live, not temporarly,
but for all eternity. One thing, though, that we have to do to
aquire these blessings is what is said to us in John 17:3," This
means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the
only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
Here is where I want to live.

The meaning of “freedom”

To many people, freedom means the absence
of something or someone who caused them
oppression. Throughout history people have
felt short periods of that freedom when an
oppressor,a dictator,a harsh government,
or leader, falls,but that's all they are, short
periods, because they never last. Why? Well,
they feel "free" for one or two years, and
BAM!! Someone comes and takes that feeling
away. By now you may be asking yourself,"Why
does this happen, why can't the freedom and
peace that people bring last?" Well, in Jeremiah 10:23
you are given the answer, "I well know, O Jehovah,
that to earthling man his way does not belong.
It does not belong to man who is walking even to
direct his step." As you can see, man who is away
from Jehovah can't direct his own steps because
they don't belong, or correspond to him, so his
successes to gain freedom, or anything else, are
bound to never last.
Does this mean that man is doomed to never be free
of problems such as sickness, death, and suffering
caused by imperfection? No. As you know,
to exempt us of Adam and Eve's disobedience that lead
to sin, Jehovah immediately made arrangements to
send his son, Jesus, to give his perfect life so that "everyone
exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but
have everlasting life", as said in John 3:16.
As you can see, thanks to Jesus Christ's sacrifice,
we are able to do what is said in John 17:3," This means
everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the
only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus
Christ." In order to obtain everlasting life, thanks
to Jehovah's new kingdom, and be freed at last
from the clutches of death, sickness, and suffering one
must learn the Bible truths that reveal to one the
characteristics and purposes of Jehovah and his son,
Jesus Christ. By doing this we will experience what true
freedom is, as said in 2 Peter 3:13," But there are new heavens
and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise,
and in these righteousness is to dwell." That's right, Jehovah
will restore Paradise throughout the world and we will
finally and permanently be free.

My future Career

I'm not really sure about what I want to
do in the future. Why? Well... the thing is
that I like cooking, but that requires extra
studying in college, which I am trying to
avoid. So my resolution is to cook, but only
as a hobby. I would also like to study archetecture,
because I could use that to help in the construction
of Kingdom Halls for the worship of Jehovah God.
This career appealed to me because one of my
friends, Martin De Leon, invited me to go with
him to help finish building a Kingdom Hall in Roswell,
New Mexico, and the experience there was awsome,
I really enjoyed it, not only because I was helping, but
also because all around me there were my Brothers
and Sisters who like me worship the one and only God,
Jehova. To my disappointment, thought, the career in
archetecture and everything that has to do with the
furnishing and construction of buildings and homes
require at least, if I remember correctly, two years in
college, so that plan is out.
By now you may be asking yourself,"Why are you
avoiding the idea to attend college and achieve your
dreams?" Well, as a Jehovah's Witness I take my labor
of proclaiming Jehova's purpose for mankind very
seriously, so I don't want college to take away time that
I could properly utilize for this labor. Now don't take me
wrong, the fact that I don't want to attend college doesn't
mean that Jehovah's Witnesses are against superior education,
this is just my personal decision. One thing that for
sure I am going to do after I graduate, or if possible
even sooner, is that I am going to become a full-time
pioneer, which is a title given to someone who is planning
to serve every month at least 70 hours in the ministy
proclaiming Jehovah's purpose and characteristics, to
say the least, to the people of our locality. Now don't think
that by doing this you are going to be awarded with money
or anything like that, the main reason for doing this is
that we make Jehovah happy because we willingly taking part
in what is asked of us in Matthew 24:14 "And this good news of
the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth
for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. As
you can see the career that is the most important to me is
proclaiming Jehovah God's purpose.

Reasons for going to church.

There are countless reasons for going to church,
many, but out of all of them two of them are
of the highest imporance. One of them, the
most important, is found in the very Bible. In it
it is stated that "we mustn't abandon the act
of getting together, as many people are acutomed
to". Now you must think the same as me that if
the very Jehova tells us in his Word that we must
get together to learn about his personallity and
purposes and to enrich each other within our
Brotherhood.
Now, another highly important reason that I
attend church for is that there I can learn about
Jehova God. What can you learn about Jehova?
As in any relationship with someone, in order to
really develope a lasting and strong relationship
you must know that person's name. In the same
way, Jehova wants us to be his friends, so to form
a relationship with him you must know his name,
Jehova. That is one of the first things that you learn,
his name, as it is stated in Psalms 83:18. Another of
the countless things that you can learn about Jehova
is of the many promises that he has made, and that he
plans to fulfill and the answer to many of the unanswered
questions that people have.
