RUSSIA INSISTS TO REMOVE THE CHILDREN FROM THE PARENTS OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSES 
The Supreme Court recommended the deprivation of parental rights for people who involve their children in prohibited public and religious organizations. The prohibition will refer, for example, to the "Jehovah's Witnesses"
Supreme Court plenary issued a ruling ordering the courts to deprive people of their paternity rights, involving children in prostitution and vagrancy, hinder their apprenticeship, as well as declining to participate in the work of organizations and damages and prohibited, including religious ones.
It includes "the participation of [children] in the activities of a public or religious association or other organization for which there is a legally binding decision of the court to liquidate or prohibit activities," the resolution says. We are talking about organizations whose work was rescinded by a court under the law "Against extremist activity" or "On the fight against terrorism," says the document.

A  COMMEMORATIVE  PLAQUE  TO  REMEMBER !
This building was the * SYNAGOGUE * until 1938
The Jewish community Osterode -
The ones prayed to GOD here /
were persecuted and destroyed -
GOD You know my folly
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Psalm 69: 6
For many already forgotten:
In the Reichsprogromnacht from the 9th to the 10th of November 1938, the SS and SA shamed the Osterode synagogue and destroyed the inventory. Numerous Easter or Jews were abused, their homes devastated.
Not only Jews, but also other groups of people were persecuted, some of them since 1933. These included people who disagreed politically, asocial, Gypsies (now Sinti and Roma), emigrants, religious persecutees, including the Bible Students (today: Jehovah's Witnesses ), People who belonged to enemy stations, homosexuals, the disabled, so everything that did not fit into the then worldview.
You should NEVER forget this.

A project that was worth it....
In 1979, I [Geoffrey Jackson] started putting together a list of Tuvaluan words and their meanings. For about 20 years, I worked on it every morning for an hour. Over time, a whole dictionary has been created from it. In 2001, it had the Australian government print as a gift to the people of Tuvalu. In 1999, Jenny and I also wrote a grammar book of the Tuvaluan language.      ( very  interesting )

Middle East   Iran-Iraq earthquake: Hundreds killed as border region hit
A 7.3-magnitude earthquake has shaken the northern border region between Iran and Iraq, killing at least 396 people and injuring thousands more.
More than 7,000 people are also said to have been injured in the quake, the world's deadliest this year.
Most of those who died were in Iran's western Kermanshah province, where a search for survivors has started.
Nine more people died in Iraq, where residents fled from their homes into the streets in the capital, Baghdad.
"I was sitting with my kids having dinner and suddenly the building was just dancing in the air," a Baghdad resident, Majida Ameer, told Reuters news agency. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41963373 

SAW  THIS  BY  A  LONG - TIME  BROTHER - FRIEND  -   AND  WANT  SHARE  IT  HERE  WITH  YOU
WHAT  A  VERY  BIG  DIFFERENCE.....   NOTHINGS  IS  IMPOSSIBLE
This is the same guy.  It brings good results in both,  mental and physical areas.  Not that if Jehovah's witness is going to make a lot of money,  that's not.  But one is experiencing a great Brotherhood. Love helps each other like a family whose father is our God. The main thing is,  that people are very well  fed  by  biblical  knowledge.

Public Letter Read to the brothers of North America:
Dear Brothers:
We wish to provide an update on recent natural disasters in our territory and what can be done to provide additional assistance. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria affected 250,000 publishers and damaged more than 6,000 homes in Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas and the virgin islands. In addition, the fires in California areas affected hundreds of editors, and more than 1,400 had to evacuate. Sadly, 29 of their homes were completely destroyed. Because of these disasters, seven active disaster relief committees are operating throughout the territory of our branch. Despite the many tragic events that our brothers and sisters have experienced, we have been truly comforting to see how the brotherhood has helped everyone in need.
In addition to the millions of dollars made available by the organization for disaster relief committees to date, hundreds of congregations and individuals have donated 1.600 tons of relief supplies throughout the country. In recent weeks, humanitarian aid supplies were sent to the islands of Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos Islands and the virgin islands through 27 flights and 35 shipping containers. Due to the constant need, shipments of food, water and other supplies will continue to be sent to these islands over the next few months. Their generous donations to work around the world and the response of several circuits in the collection of specific supplies when requested are highly appreciated. Such generosity shows the love you have for the Lord and his brothers and sisters in need. Read Proverbs 17:17; 1 cor. 12:26.
Many have asked what other practical help can be given to those who need relief assistance. In the areas where our brothers and sisters have been displaced, many of you have opened their homes to provide shelter, knowing that recovery efforts will take time. Everyone's patience is deeply appreciated. Besides, while the elders and circuit superintendents continue to lead grazing, all of us can kill each other by giving them encouragement and showing compassion and kindness.- Gál. 6: 2; Col. 3:12.
Meanwhile, throughout Texas, Florida and all the affected islands, there is an immediate need for volunteers with construction skills to help with recovery work. Due to the current circumstances, only the brothers will be invited to work in the most affected areas. At This moment, we are requesting brothers who can serve for three weeks or for 6-12 months. To volunteer for this job, contact the secretary of your congregation. For volunteers who have an application filed, make sure your local design / construction volunteer application (DC-50) is updated. The help organisation will invite volunteers through the construction assistant. We ask you not to go to a disaster area without an invitation from the help organization, the construction assistant or a specific branch allocation letter.
The Branch has received numerous calls for donations of clothing and other articles. In some cases, we have identified circuits near our shipping operations to provide specific humanitarian items. In other cases, it is more practical to buy locally to manage storage facilities to store and send materials. Therefore, unless your congregation receives specific instructions through the circuit superintendent, it is recommended that you continue to support the help efforts through donations for work around the world. In addition, the help organisation is making every effort to help the brothers and sisters who qualify to receive FEMA Insurance and assistance. Of course, it is also important to remember our brothers and sisters in our prayers.- ROM. 12:12.
In 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4, the Apostle Paul identified our great creator as "the God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our tests". the outpouring of material support, love , concern and prayers you offer are an extension of the love and spirit of the Lord in action, which has brought great comfort to thousands. Let us not fear or anxiety when we trust the Lord, who is strengthening and helping each and every one of those affected by these disasters "with [ His ] right to justice" (ISA. 41:10.).
With this letter, accept an expression of our warm Christian love and our best wishes.
Your Brothers,

?  An Army with a Rose & Bible  ?
I was sitting on a summer day, beneath a shady tree,
Descending into slumber, when a vision came to me.
There was beating of a thousand drums - the ground was
Shaking too. Then over the horizon came a woman into view.
And then another woman, with a hundred at her heel.
They multiplied a thousand fold - the vision was surreal!
Salvation was their helmet, and solid faith their shield,
With righteousness as breastplates, their hearts were well
Concealed.
A mighty sword they all possessed, held tightly in their
Palms. Was this the female army indicated in the Psalms?
Their eyes were facing forward as they marched in perfect
Time. Then I recognized their faces! These were sisters -
Friends of mine!
See there that single sister? Satan put her to the test!
How she longed to have a husband; to be loved like all the
Rest!
And there, that older sister, though her spouse does not
Believe, You'll find her out in service, every morning,
Noon and eve.
Another lost her husband, yet she marches through her trial.
Says she, 'He's on vacation - merely resting for awhile.'
And that one lost her husband when he simply went AWOL.
He dropped his sword mid-battle, yet she's marching straight
And tall.
Oh yes, and there's my sister with her young ones - quite a
Sight. Her husband is in prison - for the war he refused to
Go and fight.
This sister here seems quite content - her life seems quite
Ideal, But what goes on behind closed doors she never will
Reveal.
In spite of all these hardships, the women march on strong.
The old, the young, the strong, the weak: they bravely
Trudge along.
And then, like lightening, one of them stepped right up to
My face. 'How dare you rest!' she said to me. 'There's no
Time left to waste!'
'Here, take this sword and take this shield, this
Breastplate you must wear.'
'Don't rest until the Kingdom News is broadcast everywhere!'
And so I found my place in line, with no time to debate.
For now I see the urgency - my sleep will have to wait.
No time for insecurities, no time for shrinking back.
Just time to get this preaching done, false doctrines to
Attack!
So next time you sit down to rest, or get the urge to snooze, 
Or if you start to tire out while preaching the good news,
Observe this military force, just see what they can do,
And pray for strength from God on high, then you can do it
Too.

Breath of the Dolomites is a collection of timelapse clips and aerial clips from my recent trip to the Dolomites mountains in Italy. The aerial scenes in this film were shot by Andrew Studer.
ENJOY  
The Dolomites (Italian: Dolomiti [dolo?mi?ti]; Ladin: Dolomites; German: Dolomiten [do?lo??m?tn?]; Venetian: Do?omiti [do?o?miti]: Friulian: Dolomitis) are a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. They form a part of the Southern Limestone Alps and extend from the River Adige in the west to the Piave Valley (Pieve di Cadore) in the east. The northern and southern borders are defined by the Puster Valley and the Sugana Valley (Italian: Valsugana). The Dolomites are nearly equally shared between the provinces of Belluno, South Tyrol and Trentino.

This experience was given by  Brother Splane  of the Governing Body at an assembly in Oahu.
They said,  everyone at the assembly was tearing up.
In an Eastern European country in 1989  there was a huge 8.9 earthquake.
30,000 people died in 4 minutes. It happened in the morning and a man
had just returned from taking his small son to school. After he made sure his
wife was alright, he went straight back to the school to find his son.
When he got there he saw the school was completely flattened like a pancake.
Just rubble. He stood there devastated, completely destroyed.
Then he remembered a promise he made to his son sometime back. He told him that as long as there was life
and breath in his body he would always be there for him. So with that promise in his mind he
went around to the northeast side of the rubble where his son's classroom had been and started digging through the debris.
The neighbor came out and said, " Sir, I know you're distraught but you have to accept that your child is dead.
There's nothing you can do."  The man didn't stop digging, he just looked at the neighbor and said,
"Are you going to help me ?"
Later the fire chief came and told him and he had to stop, there was no one
left alive and he was putting himself in danger. Again, the father simply ask
"Are you going to help me now ?"
After many hours of digging the chief of police came and told him he was putting other people in danger and
ordered him to go home and to leave it to the professionals. The man again said nothing but,
"Are you going to help me now ?"
Finally, after 38 hours of digging through concrete and twisted metal the man moved a final boulder.
There he found a small space where several children have been protected. His son was among them.
The first thing he said to his father was, "Daddy,  I told them not to be scared. I told them you would come."
Brother Splane paused then he said... " The faithful slave is engaged in a massive search and rescue mission.
It is an enormous task, and what they are asking from you and me is,
"Are you going to help me now?"  -  Then he walked off the stage."  ------

? PATIENCE ? 1
" We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials for we know that they are good for us—they help us learn to be patient "
Romans 5.3
Even though I have quoted it before, I appreciate the following ditty because there is so much truth in it,...
" It's the little things that bother us and put us on the rack, you can sit upon a mountain but you can't sit on a tack "
It's amazing how uptight and impatient I/we can become with the little annoyances of everyday life.
Sometimes it seems these upset us more than big issues.
Remember, though, that the things that bug us don't cause our impatience, they just trigger it !
And that's what Jehovah God wants to get us to face and fix.
He wants to fix us from the inside out so that we will learn both patience and every other grace.
Keep in mind, though, if you want to experience trials and tribulation, pray for patience !
This is because we only learn patience by experiencing the things that upset and bug us.
Growth is usually slow.
So, while learning to be patient with others,  don't forget, to learn to be patient with yourself
( created  by  Brother  Bamps )   Thank  you !

Perhaps it was like this Olive Sea Snake that bit Paul on the Island of Malta. One bite said to deliver enough venom to kill 20 full grown men!  ???
The creature fastened itself to Paul’s hand but he shook it off and the people who witnessed this said ‘he’s a dead man for sure.’ They waited for Paul to swell up and die but when nothing happened, they thought he was a god. 
They just didnÂ’t know that Jehovah would not allow him at that moment to die because he had future plans for Paul. - Acts 28:6.

God is very approachable. Just as a loving father is glad to have his children speak freely with him, Jehovah God welcomes our prayers. At the same time, like any wise father, God has good reasons for not answering some requests.
????????
The apostle John explains: “This is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14)
????????
Our requests must be in harmony with God’s will. Some pray for things that are clearly not God’s will. Others pray with improper motives. The disciple James warns against such abuse of prayer, saying: “You do ask, and yet you do not receive, because you are asking for a wrong purpose, that you may expend it upon your cravings for sensual pleasure.”—James 4:3.
????????
On the other hand, Jehovah will always listen to the sincere prayers of worshippers who are doing their best to serve him according to his will.
????????
The apostle Paul prayed for relief from what he called his “thorn in the flesh.” (2 Corinthians 12:7) This “thorn” may refer to a chronic eye affliction or to the constant harassment of opposers and “false brothers.” (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 4:14, 15) Paul wrote: “I three times entreated the Lord that it might depart from me.” However, God knew that if Paul continued preaching despite this nagging “thorn in the flesh,” it would clearly demonstrate God’s power and Paul’s implicit trust in Him. So rather than grant Paul’s request, God told him: “My power is being made perfect in weakness.”—2 Corinthians 12:8, 9.
????????
Yes, God knows better than we do whether granting certain requests is in our best interests. Jehovah always responds for our good, in harmony with his loving purposes recorded in the Bible.
