Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs), a Christian denomination, have launched an unprecedented campaign to inspire the world to hope for a better future in the midst of the many calamities, suffering and pain in the society.
The campaign is to see to the distribution of local residents, businesses and government officials a special issue of ‘The Watchtower’ magazine with the cover title, “What Is God’s Kingdom?”
It is being offered free of charge in over 300 languages to thousands of people globally, including Ghana.
The ‘November 2020 issue’ of the magazine identifies sin as the root cause of all sufferings of mankind, while giving inspiration and hope to a distressed world, where hopelessness, anxiety and injustices had been the order of the day.
“Man has dominated man to his harm,” an abstract of the magazine read, and cited a United Nations’ publication in 2009, which identified bad rulership as “one of the root causes of evil within our societies.”
A statement issued by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Ghana Branch, signed by Dr. Kwame Antwi Oduro, Ashanti Regional Local Spokesman for the Public Information Desk, and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Kumasi, said the magazine aimed at promoting Bible education.
Distribution of the special issue, according to the statement, had commenced in November via courier, electronic and other means acceptable to the people.
It indicated that this issue of ‘The Watchtower’ was designed to help readers find answers to some questions, including ‘Why do we need God’s Kingdom?’ and ‘Who is the King of God’s Kingdom?’
Others are ‘When will God’s Kingdom rule the earth?’, ‘What will God’s Kingdom accomplish?’, ‘Why choose to support God’s Kingdom now?’ and ‘What is God’s Kingdom?’
The statement said answers to these questions could readily be found in the Bible, hoping that the magazine would, therefore, bring to readers comfort and hope for a world free of pain and suffering.

Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) predicted the end of the world, IN WRITING, numerous times. Not once did they come true. They truly are known for their 'False Predictions' the world over. JWs are taught that they alone are TRUE Christians and that all other people not JW will soon be destroyed. This is no exaggeration. JWs will allow their own children TO DIE rather than accept a life saving blood transfusion even in severe medical emergencies. It has already happened THOUSANDS of times! Just like this mother died unnecessarily! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/shropshire/7078455.stm Two recently in Canada! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42002996 Or this teenager that also DIED: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_midlands/8690785.stm This pregnant JW and her baby died. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3027599/Jehovah-s-Witness-baby-die-refuses-blood-transfusion-seven-months-pregnant-cancer-80-chance-surviving-treatment.html JWs NEEDLESSLY die for this sorry blood policy today. From the same organization that has an entire 100 + year history of similar bad and embarrasing policies. As a 15 year active JW (and an elder) here is my own story: http://www.bibletoday.com/archive/JW_Disassociation_letter_by_Vinny.htm#.W0E7_K2ZMVc JWs used to forbid Vaccinations and Organ Transplants (calling a life saving transplant "Cannibalism") for a combined 33 years. This JW elder refused a kidney transplant and DIED only to have JWs say transplants are now OK 2 years later. http://ajwrb.org/debbie-shards-story JWs enforce extreme shunning for any JW that decides to leave their religion or who sins without showing enough repentance to the elders. I have literally seen parents cut off all ties with their children solely because the kid did not want to remain a JW but went in another direction. Even ex-JWs who leave the religion on their own, are 100 percent truthful, sincere, love God, pay taxes, help others and more are still SHUNNED by all current JWs and marked as godless, proud, sinning apostates. The Awake magazine recently called them "mentally diseased". And MANY contemplate suicide because the penalties of losing everything are TOO MUCH TO TAKE. But an honest question is: Why do so many JWs leave after being one time followers? As I eventually found out, the JW religion did say, IN WRITING, that the end would come in 1914 and then again in 1925. Was Jehovah directing all that? 1914 and 1925 came and went! They were proven false predictions. Period. They also said the end very likely would happen in 1975 and even commended (in the watchtower) witnesses for selling their houses and pioneering because of it. But 1975 came and went! They also said (for many decades) that the end would come before the generation born in 1914 passed away. In fact up until 1995 it was written inside each Awake magazine cover. Only they then had to change that meaning as well (including the Awake masthead) because that generation CAME AND WENT TOO. I was an active JW (and elder) for 15 years before leaving because of the blood policy 13 yrs ago. Today I'm shunned by all JWs simply because I left the religion. Most JWs accept everything the Watchtower teaches and says as "food from God". Just like I did. Most believe God has chosen the Watchtower Society as his "channel", which provides food from God Himself to their religion and ONLY their religion. But an honest look at the facts of the JW religion shows God has not chosen the WT for anything! Take a LOOK: https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/changed-watchtower-teachings.php ALL FROM THEIR OWN LITERATURE WITH DATES & PAGES TO SEE FOR YOURSELVES!!! Pages and pages of mistakes, embarrassments, false predictions, medical disasters, weird science, doctrinal failures and more for over 100 years now! Obviously 'GOD' would not get things wrong like this. Obviously 'GOD' did not provide bad food like that for their entire history. But most JWs have no idea about these things. They're told to stay away from anything critical of their religion. For example: Was God's spirit with JWs when they said Organ Transplants were a "conscience matter" in 1961? OR, Was God"s spirit with WT when they THEN SAID Organ Transplants are same as "Cannibalism" in 1967 and forbid them? OR, was God's spirit with the WT when they THEN SAID Organ Transplants are NOT the same as cannibalism in 1980 and now allow them? Was God behind all those changes each time? Did ((GOD)) get all those things wrong each time? How many JWs like that elder above DIED by refusing kidney transplants, only later on to be told they're OK to have now? Which is why some end up taking their lives due to losing their family or feel compelled to speak out about it, like me right now. And because I walked away JWs are demanded to shun you for life (including your very own family). Examine this religion and ask as many questions as you can! Vinny
