BONNERS FERRY — Throughout November, the Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide will distribute the Watchtower magazine’s issue entitled “What Is God’s Kingdom?” in digital format.
Jehovah’s Witnesses will distribute the magazine to the general public, business owners, local and national government officials and court officials.
According to a news release, “Watchtower has a circulation larger than any other magazine in the world, Distributed in over 236 lands and has been published continually since 1879.”
The campaign will proceed using methods following local health protocols. This may include distributing the magazine and making visits via electronic means.
The magazine hopes to help people find answers about God’s Kingdom and when it will come, and what it will do.
This magazine explains how the answers to these questions can readily be found in the Bible. We are confident that the Bible’s promises about God’s Kingdom will bring readers comfort and hope for a world free of pain and suffering.
Bonners Ferry has one Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses with 50 members and growing; full-time Ministers include April and Kevin McAbee, local Bonners Ferry residents.
“We see so many within the community that are more stressed, worried, sad, and in pain today, more than we've ever seen it before.” April McAbee said, “We know that we ourselves cannot eliminate all that stresses us, but by learning about God's Kingdom, it gives us a hope and something to look forward to so we can have that peace and calm, even now.”
According to Kevin McAbee, many people are aware of all the troubles and disasters that have increased worldwide, and people need some form of calm for their lives.
“On an individual basis, people are concerned as to what is going on. It is important that people know that the Kingdom will take full charge of earth's affairs. I think it will calm people's hearts.” Kevin McAbee said.
The McAbee’s believe that learning about God can give people hope for their lives and that all things are possible.
“things aren't going to stay the way they are, but by means of that Kingdom, it's going to eliminate all of the wickedness and unite mankind under that government.”
