A report from a country where Jehovah’s people have been persecuted noted: “Those with good spiritual habits and a deep appreciation of the truth have no problem in holding firm when tests arrive, but those who in ‘ favorable season ’ miss meetings, are irregular in field service and compromise on small issues often fall when under a ‘ fiery ’ test. ” ​ — 2 Timothy 4: 2.
Teadaanne ühest riigist, kus on Jehoova rahvast taga kiusatud, märgib: „Kellel on head vaimsed harjumused ja kes tõde väga hindavad, neil pole raske katsete saabudes kindlaks jääda. Need aga, kes „soodsal ajal ” puuduvad koosolekutelt, on ebaregulaarsed kuulutustöös ja teevad kompromisse väiksemates asjades, langevad sageli tulises katses. ”
