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.
