If possible, as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men.—Rom. 12:18.

Watchtower 2007 7/15 2:11, 12 Wrote:
Peace—an aspect of the spirit’s fruitage—is a state of tranquillity and freedom from disturbance. Our heavenly Father is the God of peace, and we are given the assurance: “Jehovah himself will bless his people with peace.” (Ps. 29:11; 1 Cor. 14:33) Jesus told his disciples: “I leave you peace, I give you my peace.” (John 14:27) How would that help his followers? The peace that Jesus gave his disciples calmed their hearts and minds and allayed their fears. Especially did they have peace when they received the promised holy spirit. (John 14:26) Under the spirit’s influence and in answer to our prayers today, we enjoy the incomparable “peace of God,” which puts our heart and mind at rest. (Phil. 4:6, 7) Moreover, Jehovah’s spirit helps us to be calm and peaceable with fellow believers and others.—1 Thess. 5:13.

My comments here would be similar to those I made for Friday's text.

Warm Christian love,

Again an excellent comment to the daily text made by the WT-society :thumbsup:

That brother who wrote it must have had peace of mind when he wrote it.

But now it seems the WT-society has lost some of that peace, if you think about that they say: they give spiritual food at proper time. The latest WT, 15/4-2009 have an article about Jobs sufferings, and they write about Satan as the first apostate, who came to the heavenly meeting, not to worship Jehovah, but to accuse Job. I thought, do they in Broklyn know that I'm still going to meetings on Sundays?


Your brother Jan
