... the text for May 7, 2020

Judas and Silas ... encouraged the brothers with many talks and strengthened them. - Acts 15:32
This scripture points to actions of a governing body that was instituted by Christ via his 11 disciples. It has been this way since. The April 2018 Watchtower Study Edition, lesson #19 paragraphs 18-20 makes this comment:
Today, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses gives encouragement to Bethel family members, to special full-time firld workers, and indeed, to the entire international brotherhood of true Christians.
This is clearly evident today, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Talks are being developed for the 3-day regional conventions, which were cancelled. These talks will be on JW.org and will indeed encourage and strengthen us, as we deal with being in isolation, quarantine, loss of income, the death of family members and friends due to COVID-19, social distancing and mask wearing.

I am happy to be a part of this organization. If I had known nothing about Jehovah, I would have died a long time ago, either through self-destructive behavior or suicide. The hope for the future is strong with me, because I think about what I would become: a man with full hearing, full sight and capable of whatever my mind can imagine.
