  Who are the "least ones " mentioned in Matthew 25:45 ?

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in matthew 25:45 it says :"he will reply, 'i tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.

  ' " since this prophesy is happening during jesus second coming ,these least ones must be a specific group of people .your thoughts please ?.

  I don't believe that these "least of these" is necessarily a "group of people" just as the fds is not a group of people. If anything, I think it means anyone who is considered "least" by the majority of people. Maybe the poor or those

  without power. Some people may be considered "least" at some time in their life and not at another time. I believe Jesus is letting us know that it is not only the powerful or those with means in this world that should be given

  consideration but we should be concerned with those who have nothing and no way of repaying us for anything we do for them. These people are valuable to Jesus even though they may not be valuable to the world in general.

  My new worries about my mom-Suicide?

  by JWdaughter in

  i love my jw mom.

  we have had issues and struggles, but she loves me, i love her and we tolerate a lot of things we differ about because of that love.. you may remember my dad died a little over 11 years ago, and my mom took to a lot of drinking and she was very depressed.

  i thought she would just die of despair or drink herself dead or drive drunk.. she has calmed down on the depression and i i know she still drinks too much, but i think it is a little more ocntained.

  Cancer is not now always a death sentence. I an an oncology nurse. Because your mother is getting rid of her possesions, she seems to be comtemplating the end of her life. Get her some help, maybe a social worker or someone

  with this type of knowledge needs to speak with her. Cancer is a life-threating diagnosis, but not always a death sentence.

  i work at a major airline in the in-flight training department.

  i was sitting at the desk on the computer, i kid you not... writing the security (hijacking) curriculum for 2002, when someone came in and told me a plane flew into the wtc.

  we all thought it was one of our planes.

  Yes, BOTR, good to see you again and thanks for your story from someone who was directly affected by the events. It shook us all to the core but dealing with the aftermath on a day to day basis must have been brutal on the

  soul. When we are threated, as those in NY were with the air quality and the personal security of one's home is violated, it takes something essential away from the soul. I'm not sure if a person can ever completely recover.

  I love the sound of rain. I work nights and sleep days. When it rains, I can sleep for hours without waking once. I have to be sure to set the alarm or else I will sleep too long. The sound of rain is so soothing.

  Well, I won't be getting any sleep tonight. I also live in the country and have seen snakes outdoors. I am terribly afarid of snakes aslo. I'm sorry about your experience and hope there are no more snakes in your house. I would have

  called animal control myself; let them handle the problem.

  i was born, raised and grew old(er) in california -'45 to '94, and oregon since.

  lived many years in santa barbara, ca.

  where the change in seasons is noted by how foggy and damp it gets in the summer.

  WTW, I also decorate for Holloween. I love lights. I guess I combine Holloween with Fall and it's Harvest. I decorate my yard and deck with lights,pumpkins, mums, scarecrows and anything I find that's appropriate for the season.

  I find celebrating all the seasons and hoildays much more fun and interesting than going to the DC/CA, weekly meeting and field service; bothering people who happen to be home.

  GB, appointed by an alcoholic

  hello friends, thanks for admitting me in the group, do not know much english, makes an effort to write correctly, thanks.

  the gb, jehovah's witnesses was appointed by a downright alcoholic, not by the holy spirit, oh yes, the spirit of good canadian liquor.

  What was the rational for appointing the GB? Why the change from a President overseeing the organization?

  cult classic, If you were out in fs all day, when did you find out that America was under attack? After you got home from fs? Did the householders not tell you what was happening in NY or Washington DC? What were the other

  active jws doing? I was already an xjwfor over 25 yrs by that time.

  It was my day off of work. When I turned the tv on, I could not believe what was happening. When the second plane hit the second tower, I realized, as did everyone else, that America was under attack; something I never believed would happen. America attacked on it's own soil! I recalled what had happened in Oklahoma City. I felt so vulnerable. When the towers imploded, it was an unbelievable sight! I was scared for all those running away. It was like a horror movie, only it was real. AMERICA HAD BEEN ATTACKED. I was scared and angry. I never thought of Armageddon or the Tribulation. I mourned for America and those who were enduring the attack. Around 12 noon, I went to the bank to depostit a check, the teller would not take it, they were closing down the bank. I went to Walmart, the usually crowed store was nearly empty of people. Those people who were on the streets, honked their horns as everyone returned to their homes or places of work to keep up with what was occuring. It was a terrible and sad day for all Americans everywhere.

  My daughter had gone to a buyers show and could not get back home on a plane. She and other buyers were taken back home by others by automobile. She was in Minnesota and she lives in Idaho.

  SophieG, I'm sorry for what you suffered during that stressful time. I agree, we we all affected and changed by that dreadful day and its aftermath.
