El hombre, por ser un testigo de Jehová encontró medio millón de rublos en Moscú y sin dudarlo regresó a su dueño.

05/20/2013 de Ren-TV y Moscú mostraron parcela 24, en el que se demostró que un hombre que es un activo de los Testigos de Jehová de la República de Komi, cuyo nombre es Vladimir Izergin, caminó a través de un paso subterráneo en Moscú, vio paquete de revolcarse.  En la convolución para su sorpresa encontró medio millón de rublos.

 

Vladimir no dudó llevó el dinero a la policía.  Aunque interesante que tiene cinco hijos, y él está en necesidad de tratamiento para los ojos, por qué y llegó a Moscú no pensaba quedarse con el dinero o pasar por sí mismo.

 

La policía pronto se encontraron con el propietario del dinero, como se vio después, tomó el dinero de un cajero automático, y al parecer sin darse cuenta los dejó en el camino.

La policía en la práctica consideran que se trata de una muy rara y única.

 Por lo tanto, incluso fue otorgado a Vladimir y regalos de la propia policía!

 

 De hecho, un caso excepcional.  ¿Qué lo llevó Vladimir hacer eso?

 Fe!  La creencia en las normas y principios justos y superior de Jehová su Dios, y su única a las leyes de este mundo.

 Digno Es este un ejemplo de sus modelos a seguir?  Esto, por supuesto, depende de usted.  Pero me llevó a encantar!

 

Incluso el dueño del dinero, no habría hecho esto como Vladimir, pero el evento y charla con Vladimir enseñado serie de una gran cantidad de dinero.  Espero!

 

Pero lo más importante es que este caso y muchos casos similares que han ocurrido y están ocurriendo con los testigos de Jehová, ayudan a ver y entender que es en realidad estos son los testigos de Jehová?

 Los estafadores que seleccionan apartamentos y dinero de la gente?  Tal vez los extremistas?

 O amorosa, respetable, justo y gente honesta?

 

¿Cómo sería el mundo si todas las personas como Vladimir Izirgin vivían en la regla de oro de Mateo 07:12 Por tanto, en todas las personas tratan de la manera que quieres que te hagan a ti.  Esa es la esencia de todo lo que está escrito en la ley y los profetas!

Usted puede mirar en estos informes de casos únicos en los canales: Moscú 24 y Ren TV

 

Pero sin duda han demostrado que no todos dijo Vladimir, innecesariamente vivimos en Rusia.

 

Buena suerte a usted los amigos y nos dejó nunca olvidaré las palabras de Mateo 07:12, así como lo que vemos en la imagen de abajo!

Respuesta a la carta

Publicado Sábado, 22 de junio 2013, en la categoría de Sociedad

 

Para el editor de "Kursk noticias" recibió una carta del Centro Administrativo de los Testigos de Jehová en Rusia. A petición del Presidente del centro continuación, publicamos el texto del mensaje.

 

"Centro Administrativo de los Testigos de Jehová en Rusia, que se registra oficialmente la organización, que representa a más de 168.000 Testigos de Jehová en el país, aprovechando la reputación de sus correligionarios como buenos ciudadanos, expresa su desacuerdo con los publicados en la edición del 10 de abril de 2013 en el artículo" kuryanam de las sectas " evaluaciones y la información que es falsa y difamatoria de nuestros correligionarios.

 

No es cierto las siguientes declaraciones:

 

1. "Secta totalitaria peligroso, que controla totalmente el pensamiento y la forma de vida de sus usuarios, convirtiéndolos en esclavos obedientes y humildes."

 

Esta característica es refutada por el examen religiosa Estado llevado a cabo por el Ministerio de Justicia de la Federación de Rusia en el proceso de re-inscripción del Centro Administrativo de los Testigos de Jehová en Rusia: "No hay ninguna base para la afirmación de que la doctrina de los Testigos de Jehová son una amenaza para la salud mental y moral de los miembros y seguidores de la organización.  En general, la práctica de esta organización no es fundamentalmente diferente de la de muchas otras organizaciones religiosas tradicionales y nuevos ".

 

En cuanto al término "secta" Cámara Judicial para Disputas de Información del Presidente de la Federación de Rusia señaló en su sentencia sobre el reclamo de los Testigos de Jehová en el periódico "Komsomolskaya Pravda": "En la legislación de la Federación de Rusia no existe tal cosa como un" culto ".  Al mismo tiempo, este término debido a la percepción pública es sin duda un significado semántico negativo y, con ella, los periodistas pueden herir la sensibilidad de los fieles.  La Sala de Primera Instancia considera que el autor del material ... innecesariamente el uso del término "secta" de los Testigos de Jehová, violando así las normas de la ética periodística ".

 

. 2 "Vas a tener que olvidarse de sus padres y familiares, si no se convierten en testigos de Jehová." Los testigos de Jehová son conocidos en todo el mundo que siguen los preceptos de Jesucristo: "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo" (Marcos 12: 31). Es por eso que tratan de vivir en paz con todas las personas, independientemente de su religión. Respetan las opiniones de sus seres queridos, incluso si no comparten sus creencias. Aplican consejo bíblico para promover un ambiente agradable en la familia.

 

3. "No debería recargar con preocupaciones familiares o estudio.  Es necesario trabajar no más de 2-3 horas al día para asegurarse de ser mínimo vital ".  Por regla general, los Testigos de Jehová familias fuertes, que dedican el tiempo suficiente, al igual que con toda la atención son las palabras de la Biblia: "¿Quién es su casa y sobre todo no le importa, ha negado la fe."  (I Timoteo 5:8).  Muchos jóvenes testigos de Jehová, al final de la escuela están matriculados en centros de educación secundaria o superior, y la cuestión de la elección de la educación sigue siendo un asunto privado.  La organización de los Testigos de Jehová no regula las cuestiones de la educación, el empleo y el tiempo asignado para este fin.

 

4.Sudya el texto, el autor fue demasiado sesgado a los representantes de nuestra religión, o una idea equivocada de los testigos de Jehová en su conjunto (que, en particular, en la foto, elegida en el artículo, que representa a los representantes de otras concesiones religiosas).

 

 

5. Explica en la Resolución del Pleno de la Suprema Corte (de 24.02.2005), en el caso de que los juicios de valor, opiniones afecten a los derechos e intereses de nadie, el interesado puede utilizarse siempre que le otorga el artículo 46 de la Ley "de medios de comunicación de masas" el derecho de réplica en la misma edición de justificar el fracaso generalizado del juicio, ofreciéndoles una evaluación diferente.  Les pedimos que se publique la información anterior como respuesta al "Centro Administrativo de los Testigos de Jehová en Rusia" en el artículo "kuryanam de las sectas".

Jehovah's Witnesses proposal draws concerns in Clarksburg

http://www.thetranscript.com/headlines/ci_23557212/jehovah-rsquo-s-witnesses-proposal-draws-concerns

 

CLARKSBURG -- A proposal to build an approximately 4,000 square foot house of worship on farmland at the intersection of Cross and Middle Roads drew concerns from Conservation Commission members Wednesday night.

 

According to the notice of intent, the proposal from the North Adams Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is for the construction of a 3,696-square-foot building (4,096 with a drive-through drop off). The project also includes construction of its own water supply, a driveway, parking, site grading and drainage.

Commission Chairman Clebe Scott raised his concerns over the effectiveness of the detention basin, designed to hold water running off the newly paved parking lot.

"I would like to know if there's enough detention for the impervious surface and the rest of the lot," he said. "I don't think [the detention basin] is adequate."

The engineering was carried out by Stanford, Vt.-based Trinity Engineering. Engineering Technician Gregory Vigna of Trinity was present at Wednesday's hearing.

Vigna said the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) had audited the project and had few comments, except for moving the construction of a well slightly.

The project is also under review by the National Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, Vigna said

"We're expecting to have a response from them sometime next week," he said.

The project will be presented to the Planning

Board at a public hearing with a date to be determined.

"The reason we need to go to the Planning Board is that some of the work is in the 100 year floodplain," Vigna told the commission. "The building itself is not."

Efforts to reach someone from the North Adams Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses were unsuccessful Thursday.

In other business, the commission permitted the management of invasive plants in Mauserts Pond using state-approved herbicides and algaecides, subject to review by NHESP.

Spencer-based Lycott Environmental, Inc. worked in conjunction with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to create a management plan for aquatic vegetation in the 49-acre pond. William Stevenson of Lycott Environmental said the pond has seen a growth of the invasive plant fanwart, along with the indigenous species watershield. The most effective treatment would be the herbicide sold under the trade-name Sonar, he said.

Jehovah's Witnesses gathering in Columbia for three summer conventions

http://www.thestate.com/2013/06/25/2834625/jehovahs-witnesses-to-gather-in.html

 

This week, members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith are going door-to-door to distribute invitations to its three summer conventions, the first opening this weekend at the Colonial Life Arena near downtown Columbia.

 

The undertaking has required about 22,000 volunteers, said spokesman Kirby Flodin, but the outreach is in keeping with this worldwide religious organization that claims first century Christianity as its model. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are known for distributing tracts such as “The Watchtower” and “Awake!” that state their belief that the end times are near when Jesus Christ will return again to rule the Earth.

 

The Jehovah’s Witnesses district conventions marked by Bible study, drama and baptism. This year’s theme, “God’s Word is Truth!” will extend through all three conventions, this weekend July 5-7 and July 12-14.

 

The events, which are free and open to the public, draw about 8,000 people each weekend.

 

Bill Sims Jr., a longtime Jehovah’s Witness, said events such as the Boston Marathon bombings and the massacre of the Sandy Hook school children lead many people to question the existence of God or blame him for the world’ s problems. He believes the rise of atheism is related to that sense of loss and sees the conservative teachings of his faith as a path to raising families with strong moral character.

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses grew out of the 19th century teachings of Charles Taze Russell, a Pennsylvania evangelist who took issue with many mainstream Christian beliefs, including the existence of the Trinity. Russell and his followers, including Joseph Rutherfood, believed that the world was in its last days, and preached that only 144,000 would be taken into heaven with other followers existing in a separate earthly paradise. That belief remains a tenet of the faith today.

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and spread their beliefs through door-to-door evangelism. Through the years they have undergone persecution because they do not vote, oppose military service and refuse to salute the American flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance because of their interpretation of biblical teachings.

 

Many also refuse blood transfusions and do not donate blood because they read certain scriptures as prohibiting the ingestion of blood.

 

“We don’t (take transfusions) because we believe it is a direct command from God,” said Flodin, who lives in the Charleston area and belongs to a Kingdom Hall there. He said with the progress in medicine and bloodless surgery, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe many alternatives are available.

 

There are about 22,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses in 200 congregations in South Carolina and 7.5 million Jehovah Witnesses worldwide.

Dog attack victim recovering, back to Jehovah's Witness ministry work ahead of upcoming convention

http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Dog_attack_victim_recovering_back_to_Jehovahs_Witness/20130629_11_A1_CUTLIN782235?subj=1

 

 

Beverly Wright walked with a cane, slowly, avoiding uneven ground on Wednesday morning as she went door-to-door on North Delaware Avenue inviting people to an upcoming Jehovah's Witnesses convention.

 

A week ago she had what she hopes will be her last of five skin grafts to repair wounds she received March 19 when a pit bull mauled her so badly that doctors told her she might lose her leg.

 Wright, 43, could have escaped injury that Tuesday morning when an 80-pound pit bull burst through the front door of a house in the 200 block of N. Lewis Place and attacked her ministry companion and longtime friend, Irene Parker, 78.

 But it never occurred to her not to help her friend.

 Both women were severely injured in the attack. And both knew their injuries would not keep them from going door-to-door with the Jehovah's Witnesses. Six weeks after the attacks, in early May, Wright returned to her ministry.

 "The doctors are amazed how fast I am healing," she said.

 She goes out weekly, usually tiring after two or three hours, even with breaks.

 She does it, she said, "because it's what Jehovah wants ... to let people know what God wants."

 At first she was a little nervous, she said.

 "But I realized it was one of those things that happened. It doesn't happen all the time. That helped me get out of the car."

 She has been going door-to-door with the Jehovah's Witnesses for 18 years, and nothing like that ever happened before, she said.

 Parker's recovery has been slower.

 She went off her pain medication a week ago and is still in constant pain but is able to sleep, she said this week at her daughter's Sand Springs home, where she is recuperating.

 "I'll be glad when I can get back to my ministry. It'll be awhile. When I get better, I'm ready to go out again. The only thing is, I'm going to be more cautious.

 "I'm doing better and I'm happy about it. ... All the prayers and cards and gifts have been very encouraging," she said.

 The events of that day three months ago are still fresh in Wright's mind.

 She was two houses away from Parker when the dog attacked.

 "I heard the screams and ran down there.

 "I pulled the dog off of her. I had it in a head lock," said Wright, who is 5 feet tall.

 The dog squirmed free and continued to attack Parker. When Wright pulled it off a second time, it turned its attack on her, tearing at her arms and then dragging her across the yard by her leg.

 Wright grabbed a baseball bat from the dog's owner who was standing by screaming and struck the dog twice before losing her grip on the bat.

 The dog continued to tear into her leg.

 "I was seeing him do it. It was awful," she said.

 The attack ended when a man working two blocks away heard the screams, grabbed a gun from his truck, distracted and shot the dog.

 Parker has little memory of the attack that broke seven bones, disfigured her face and nearly killed her.

 When she knocked on the door that day, she said, she heard a dog barking.

 As soon as a woman opened the door, the dog charged through the screen door, knocked her to the ground and attacked her head.

 She heard her right ear being ripped off and saw blood.

 "I don't remember anything after that ... I didn't feel nothing," she said.

 Both women were taken to St. John Medical Center, where doctors used several hundred stitches on each of them to close their wounds and then placed them in intensive care.

 As Jehovah's Witnesses, they do not believe in receiving blood transfusions. One hospital worker told Wright she would probably die without blood.

 "So be it," she said.

 Wright was released in eight days, Parker in 18 days. Both are still in physical therapy.

 Parker has had five surgeries, with more scheduled.

 Her latest surgery rebuilt part of an eyelid that was ripped off, making her unable to close one eye.

 Wright said she still has dreams about the dog.

 "I see him shaking Irene.

 "I might be afraid of dogs, but I'll never let them know it," she said defiantly.

 The two women have been in contact with Mike Harrell, the man who shot the dog.

 "He's very polite and humble," said Mike Elliott, Parker's son-in-law.

 Harrell saved Wright's life, and Wright saved Parker's life, Elliott said.

 "And I believe Jehovah had a hand in it," he said.

 "We believe angels accompany us in ministry."

 The women have had no contact with the dog's owner.

 Jehovah's Witnesses spokesman Mark Snead said church members "always try to exercise due caution" in neighborhoods, taking note of dog warning signs.

 "It's very rare for these kinds of events to happen," he said.

 "I've been going out since I was a child, and I've never had a dog attack me."

 Tulsa-area Jehovah's Witnesses are in a three-week door-to-door campaign to invite people to their annual district Bible convention July 5-7 at the Donald W. Reynolds Center on the University of Tulsa campus.

 "We hope to reach the majority of homes in the Tulsa area," Snead said.

 The convention will draw more than 5,000 people from 49 congregations in northeast Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, he said. It is identical to about 300 other conventions being held around the United States that will draw more than a million people.

 The Tulsa area has more than 20 Jehovah's Witnesses congregations that meet in nine Kingdom Halls.

 Wright said that accounts are set up in the women's names at the Bank of Oklahoma to help with medical expenses that are not covered by insurance.

Economic stimulus: Jehovah's Witnesses, Thunder are a boon to area businesses

http://tribune-democrat.com/local/x1925314314/Economic-stimulus-Jehovah-s-Witnesses-Thunder-are-a-boon-to-area-businesses

 

With a loud inescapable rumble, waves of motorcycle riders annually take over Johnstown during Thunder in the Valley, spending money at beer stands and merchandise shops. In comparison, over the past two years, thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses have quietly visited the region around the same time, and, during their breaks from religious activities, supported local sit-down restaurants and made in-kind contributions to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena.

 

The groups are strikingly different: Tattooed, leather-clad Harley-Davidson bikers and primly dressed, spiritually devoted families.

 

But together, they help make June a profitable month for local restaurants, stores and hotels.

 

“This is what travel and tourism promotion is all about,” said Lisa Rager, executive director of the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

 

Approximately 4,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses are currently in the region for a district convention that is scheduled to end Sunday. Church members have attended services in the arena during three separate weekends, June 7-9, 14-16 and 28-30. They have come from within a five-hour radius of Johnstown, including points in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland.

 

Along with paying rent, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have repaired, cleaned and enhanced the arena.

 

In 2012, the first of five consecutive years the organization is scheduled to hold its convention in the city, worshippers made more than $50,000 of in-kind contributions, ranging from building access steps to removing weeds from sidewalks. They have done work both before and during this year’s convention. After the event, volunteers plan to install a dividing wall between the arena’s luxury suites and regular seats.

 

“That’s a way of life for us,” said Kevin Gensler, a Jehovah’s Witnesses news service overseer. “We represent what we consider the one true God. As part of that, we want our actions to speak louder than words.”

 

Worshippers have supported businesses throughout the region, spending what Rager estimated could be $1 million.

 

“The economic impact is an economic impact that stays in the county because these are brick-and-mortar, taxpaying businesses,” said Tom Grenell, the arena’s acting general manager. “These are not event-based businesses that are gone when the event goes. These are the people that are employing county jobs, county resources and putting tax dollars into the local municipalities. These are all things that stay here.”

 

Unlike the noise and traffic jams associated with Thunder, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have come into town with almost no disruption.

 

“What you see is an economic boon with little to no intrusion to the common residents,” said Grenell.

 

The church members’ generally quiet and polite presence has endeared them to community leaders and business owners.

 

“It has been wonderful,” said City Manager Kristen Denne. “They have been great visitors to have in Johnstown. I consider them all honorary citizens.”

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses organizers even offered to skip the weekend of June 20-23 in order to avoid any conflict with the 16th annual Thunder in the Valley.

 

The motorcycle rally included events as diverse as a Molly Hatchet concert, pancake breakfasts, wet T-shirt contests, hill climbs and a breast cancer awareness fundraiser. Local stores and visiting vendors alike financially benefited from the event.

 

“I wouldn’t blink an eye at the fact Thunder could generate $20 million in direct visitor spending,” said Rager.

 

Through a spokesperson, Tom Zepka Sr., owner of Zepka Harley-Davidson in Richland Township, called the rally “our Christmas in June.”

 

Although the Thunder and Jehovah’s Witnesses crowds are certainly different, participants do support some of the same establishments, especially restaurants and hotels.

 

Josh Gibson, owner of the downtown Johnstown Subway restaurant and two other locations in Cambria County, estimates his businesses see a 50 to 75 percent sales increase during Thunder in the Valley, compared with other weeks. His business doubles on Fridays and Saturdays when the Jehovah’s Witnesses are in the region.

 

“It’s a lot of fun with Thunder in the Valley,” said Gibson. “We get to see a lot of different folks. ... The Jehovah’s Witnesses are always very well-behaved and treat my staff very well.”

 

The Holiday Inn Johnstown-Downtown and Holiday Inn Express on Scalp Avenue were two of the area’s crowded hotels during the past few weekends.

 

“For our properties, they’re all good guests,” said Melissa Radovanic, sales and marketing director for Crown American Hotels, which owns the local Holiday Inns. “We generally have no problem with Thunder in the Valley guests. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are pleasant guests.”

 

Radovanic said this was a record-setting Thunder year for the downtown Holiday Inn, based upon overnight stays and sales at the hotel’s restaurant, Harrigan’s Cafe & Wine Deck.

 

“It was great,” Radovanic said.

 

Thunder and the Jehovah’s Witnesses conventions combine to put approximately $50,000 directly into Johnstown’s coffers through general fund permit fees, parking and the mercantile tax, according to the city’s finance director, Carlos Gunby.

 

The CVB also receives money from the hotel tax, which is then used to promote more tourism.

Jehovah's Witnesses baptize 55 new members during district convention weekends

Jehovah's Witnesses baptize 55 new members during district convention weekends

 

To the many members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, faith and family are interchangeable.

 

 

Known to reference each other as brothers and sisters, the large crowd of members gathered around Freedom Hall Pool Saturday afternoon welcomed 30 new members into their faith family during a baptism at the second weekend of their annual district convention in Johnson City.

 

 

Jack Gragg, 16, of Knoxville, was one of 30 baptized and said afterward that he knew he was ready to make his commitment to God, or Jehovah.

 

 

“I made my prayer to Jehovah. I wanted to serve Him and I did it. I felt ready and I did it,” Jack said. “It feels great. It’s like a refreshing feeling. It’s a gateway for future opportunities to where I can do great things for our society and for Jehovah God.”

 

 

He said the Jehovah’s Witnesses are very loving people and said it was comforting to be baptized in the large group.

 

 

“It was kind of strengthening because ... we have a real family bond in our organization and you can just really feel that when you see 29 people being baptized at once, because it just shows that all these people want to help the society and do what God wants,” Jack said. “The Bible and God promotes love. That’s one of God’s top qualities, so we want to promote that in our daily living and interaction between our friends and family.”

 

 

Standing close by, Jack’s father, Michael Gragg, an elder in the family’s congregation in Knoxville, said he was excited to see another one of his sons make their commitment and declare their service to Jehovah.

 

 

“There’s not a happier feeling to see him, to see the progress each day and he (Jack) makes the truth his own,” Michael said. “As a father, there’s no greater happiness. I’m moist eyed and very happy right now.”

 

 

Ken Ross, program overseer for the Jehovah’s Witnesses convention and elder at the Olde Towne congregation in Jonesborough, said last week’s first convention at Freedom Hall Civic Center hosted almost 4,400 people and that they baptized 25 new members.

 

 

He said baptism typically follows lots of study of the Bible with a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and then they answer a series of questions to be sure the candidate is ready.

 

 

“Normally, they wait for a special event like this so the convention has more meaning for them and it becomes an important date to them,” Ross said. “We always say it’s more important than your birthday because this is when you made such an important decision.”

 

 

He said besides the baptisms, Jehovah’s Witnesses — from eastern Tennessee, including Knoxville, Southwest Virginia and even parts of Kentucky and North Carolina — had been listening to a variety of talks on this year’s theme “God’s Word Is Truth!” during the convention, which started Friday and is scheduled to end today.

 

 

“Each day the theme tied in with the truth and we’re trying to stress the importance of being truthful in our everyday life, in the privacy of our homes ... the public, and to always try to live our lives in harmony with the truth of God’s word,” Ross said. “We’ve had a series of Bible discussions, we’ve had dramas. We’ve had some voice dramas where we read passages of the Bible and act that out, as well as a modern-day drama. We’ve had little demonstrations, or skits, to help emphasize ... those important points.”

 

 

He said today’s drama will be a costume drama on the life of Esther. The public is invited and there is no cost to attend.

 

 

Ross said conventions are always fun to attend each year, as many members reconnect with old friends, as well as meet new friends.

 

 

“It’s always a special occasion. The spiritual encouragement that you get from the program just gives you a boost, a shot in the arm, to help you to do the right things,” he said. “Seeing the families here and seeing what people have to go through to get here, it’s just so encouraging. Some of them have health problems, old age or other things and to see them put forth that effort, it just means so much. It’s just one of the highlights of the year.”

Jehovah's Witnesses Meet at UMass

http://www.wggb.com/2013/06/30/jehovahs-witnesses-meet-at-umass/

June 30th, 2013

 

AMHERST, Mass (WGGB) — Jehovah’s Witnesses held the first of 7 regional bible-study conventions at UMass Amherst’s Mullins Center today.

 

For more than 20 years, they’ve been holding summer conventions at the school,  while local businesses usually reap the benefits.

 

“Previous years it’s had a pretty solid impact on our business, summertime it’s downtime, no students in town, so whenever a convention comes to town, it’s nice, but unfortunately now UMass has most of their dining taken care of for them, so now they are sparse when they come back in,” said Jay Carreiro, the manager at Antonio’s Pizza.

 

More than 5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses took part in the 3-day conference from all over Western Mass and Eastern New York.

Iglesias deben cumplir medidas de seguridad

http://pulsoslp.com.mx/2013/06/18/iglesias-deben-cumplir-medidas-de-seguridad/

Martes, 18 junio 2013 3:00 Estado

Se reforzarán las medidas de seguridad en todas las iglesias, tanto evangélicas, cristianas y católicas, donde también se revisará que cuenten con las suficientes rutas de evacuación y extinguidores, ya que el objetivo es garantizar la integridad de los feligreses. Se mejorarán las condiciones de seguridad para la feligresía que acude a los templos a orar, aplicando varias medidas para garantizar la paz.

Hasta el momento sólo se han acercado el presbítero de la Iglesia de Santa Catarina de Alejandría y de Testigos de Jehová, a solicitar una revisión, lo anterior lo dio a conocer el titular de Protección Civil Municipal, Ricardo Canseco Hernández.

Enfatizó el funcionario que ante el alto índice de asistencia en las iglesias, se ha decidido verificar que se cuente con suficientes rutas de evacuación además de  extinguidores, entre otros. Canseco Hernández reconoció que las únicas que cuentan con estos implementos y que han solicitado una revisión, son de la Iglesia de Testigos de Jehová así como de Santa Catarina de Alejandría.

Se tiene proyectado regular las medidas de seguridad en cada uno de los templos, ante la aglomeración de personas que acuden a escuchar la palabra de Dios. Dijo que también está a la espera de acercarse a las Evangélicas, cristianas, entre otras, pues el objetivo principal es garantizar la integridad de los asistentes.

En Belén descubren pilar relacionado con los tiempos de David y Salomón

 

Lunes, 24 de Junio de 2013 12:55

Un pilar tallado de alto valor arqueológico ha sido descubierto cerca de Belén ya que podría estar relacionado con el rey David o incluso con el reino majestuoso del sabio Salomón.

El guía turistico israelí Binyamin Tropper guía pensó que era el primero en descubrir esta columna pero se sorprendió saber que las Autoridades Judías conocían su existencia durante décadas y habían mantenido en secreto el hallazgo.

 

"Cuando me di cuenta de la importancia de este pilar, se lo comuniqué a mi jefe quien habló con la Autoridad de Antigüedades de Israel (IAA por su siglas en ingles)," señaló Tropper FoxNews. Fue entonces cuando se sorprendieron por la que la IAA dio a la notificación: "Esto está muy bien pero ahora cállense".

 

Tropper parece haber tropezado con una prueba que evidencia la veracidad de los relatos explicados en el Antiguo Testamento. El pilar de 2800 años de antigüedad puede ayudar a que los episodios descritos en la Biblia puedan ser ubicados en los mapas con mayor precisión y de esta manera lograr una conexión más sólida del Estado de Israel actual con las raíces históricas del judaísmo.

 

Sin embargo, debido a la complejidad de las relaciones árabe-israelíes el hallazgo está siendo ignorado. Según los expertos, se silencia para evitar que se produzca una mayor tensión en el debate en el que se discute sobre quién tiene el derecho en el lugar geográfico que es denominado en el mundo occidental como Tierra Santa.

 "Como el lugar donde se encuentra está en la Ribera Occidental y no dentro de las fronteras oficiales de Israel, es más problemático excavar allí que dentro de Israel", señala Yosef Garfinkel, profesor de arqueología en la Universidad Hebrea y quien ha inspeccionado el lugar.

 La IAA ha enviado a FoxNews un comunicado cuidadosamente redactado que reconoce superficialmente el descubrimiento de la columna y donde expresa su preocupación por la relación inevitable entre la arqueología y el conflicto de Oriente Medio.

 "La compleja realidad de Israel conlleva a que a veces la disciplina académica arqueológica se relacione con los problemas políticos en materia de derechos y raíces históricas", señala la IAA a FoxNews en su correo electrónico. "Cuando un descubrimiento arqueológico importante requiere de investigación adicional, las IAA vela porque se haga y tal es el caso: la IAA está trabajando para llevar a cabo una excavación completa del sitio, que permitirá el estudio a fondo para divulgar sus conclusiones tanto en publicaciones generales como eruditas".

 Tropper desafió la petición de la IAA para que se quedasen callados en relación a este descubrimiento, ya que le cree el beneficio de excavar en la zona es mayor a los dolores de cabeza que puedan ocurrir. Esto se debe a que en los últimos 30 años en Israel se ha venido debatiendo acerca del tamaño y la importancia del reino del Rey David tal y como se relata en la Biblia. El diseño de esta columna, según Tropper tiene una coherencia la arquitectura de tiempos del Primer Templo y ayudará a proporcionar pruebas concretas de la existencia del Rey David en Judea.

 "Este pilar pesa (aproximadamente) cinco toneladas, por lo que no se puede mover", señala Tropper. "Debido a que es tan grande, se deduce que está en su lugar".

 Al Rey Salomón el Antiguo Testamento le atribuye la construcción del Primer Templo, lugar donde los judíos de la Biblia realizaban su culto a Dios. En el Antiguo Testamento también se relata como este Templo fue destruido por Nabucodonosor II, rey de Babilonia en el año 587 antes de Cristo.

 El profesor Garfinkel ha declarado al The Times of Israel que esta columna marca la entrada al túnel de agua del período del Primer Templo. Es similar al Túnel de Siloé que está en Jerusalén, cerca del barrio árabe de Silwan en la Jerusalén actual. Según el libro de Reyes, el Túnel de Siloé fue un proyecto del Rey Ezequías para canalizar agua a Jerusalén y que se utilizó hasta el asedio asirio en el siglo octavo.

 Tropper ha sido reacio en revelar la ubicación exacta de la columna para evitar atraer ladrones de antigüedades. El cree que el hallazgo es aún más controvertido porque se encuentra en tierras de propiedad privada que actualmente pertenecen a un palestino.

 "Creo que ellos (los árabes de la ciudad) saben del hallazgo, pero no conocen lo su importancia", señala Tropper quien asegura que el iniciar excavaciones en el sitio beneficiaría enormemente al dueño de las tierras y a sus compatriotas.

 "Existe un manantial allí mismo y se abrirá si excavamos con lo que los árabes volverían a tener agua y eso les daría dinero", enfatizó.

 Tropper espera que con el tiempo, la IAA se dé cuenta de la importancia de este pilar ordene la excavación.

 "Entendemos lo problemático y complicado que es esto. Pero ese es un lugar importante y es nuestra historia es por esto que tenemos que excavar".
