For your sakes I will send to Babylon and bring down all the bars of the gates.—Isa. 43:14.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/17
In line with that prophecy, a world-shaking event happened one night early in October 539 B.C.E. While Babylon’s king and his nobles were drinking wine from holy vessels captured from Jerusalem’s temple and were praising their man-made gods, the armies of Media and Persia conquered Babylon. In 538 or 537 B.C.E., Babylon’s conqueror, Cyrus, commanded the Jews to return and rebuild God’s temple in Jerusalem. All of this was foretold by Isaiah, including Jehovah’s promise that he would provide for and protect his repentant people as they returned to Jerusalem. God called them “the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.” (Isa. 43:21; 44:26-28) Once these former exiles had returned and rebuilt Jehovah’s temple in Jerusalem, they became witnesses to the fact that Jehovah, the only true God, always fulfills his word. w14 7/15 3:10, 11
 

We  all  have  a  special  bunch  of  keys....   Here  is  coming  the  illustration  -  every  key  takes  a  special  function !  
The  1. key  reminds  us  to  the  meeting...
the   2. key  is  for  our  preaching  service...
the   3. key  is  for  the  personal  study....        AND
the   4. key  is  our  *universal  key*   he  will  open  many  doors !   but  first  the  nearness  to   Jehovah❤    We  need  him  very  often,  every  day,  so  he  is  very  especially.  Never  forget  to  use  him...    Very  nice  REMINDERS !   MAYBE,  A  LITTLE  HELP  FOR  US  ALL ?
That  TALK  was  alot  gone  around  our  PRAYERS.....  Jehovah  said  in  Matt. 24 : 20 - 22
! 20 Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.

What  a  complicated  commission  Noah  got  from  Jehovah.... he  obeyed  and  built  it !
Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.—Gen. 6:8.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/16
Noah “was a righteous man” who “proved himself faultless among his contemporaries.” Because “Noah walked with the true God,” Jehovah instructed him to build a huge ark. (Gen. 6:9, 14-16) Its design was well-suited for the preservation of human and animal life. Obediently, “Noah did everything that Jehovah had commanded him,” and with the cooperation of his family, he completed the building work in an organized way. After living things were brought into the ark, “Jehovah shut the door.” (Gen. 7:5, 16) In 2370 B.C.E. when the Flood came, Jehovah “wiped every living thing from the surface of the earth,” but he kept faithful Noah and his family safe in the ark. (Gen. 7:23) Everyone on earth today is a descendant of Noah, his sons, and their wives. But all the faithless people outside the ark perished because they had refused to listen to Noah, “a preacher of righteousness.”—2 Pet. 2:5. w14 5/15 3:6, 7

Stop judging that you may not be judged.—Matt. 7:1.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/15
Rather than being judgmental or suspicious, if a fellow believer has been weakened by personal problems, our priority should be to provide spiritual assistance. (1 Thess. 5:14) If we pause to reflect on our brothers’ circumstances, we may see their seeming frailty in a different light. Think of sisters who have been enduring family opposition for years. Some may be of humble appearance and look fragile, yet do they not demonstrate outstanding faith and inner strength? When you see a single mother regularly coming to meetings with her child or children, are you not impressed by her faith and determination? And what of teenagers who stick to the truth despite the bad influences in school? In all modesty, we recognize that such ones, who may seem to be weaker, may be as “rich in faith” as those among us who have more favorable circumstances.—Jas. 2:5. w14 6/15 3:9, 10
 

WOW  !!    IS'NT  THAT  A  COOL  MODERN  CAMPING - ESTATE  CAR ??
The new vehicle design by Christian Susana is a cool combination  of  car  and  a  caravan camper !
 The new vehicle design by Christian Susana is a cool combination of car and a caravan camper. Christian has called it Colim (Colors of Life in Motion), which might not win many points on looks department, but still is quite useful given the kind of flexibility it offers. Colim caravan concept provides the advantage of detaching the front part if one does not have a usage for the home part. Design wise it reminds more of geometric shape, which one can say to be a welcome change from the regular designs, but the designer has really explored a possibility using different shapes which may pave way for better shaped cars.
The designer says : “The Colim concept – an acronym meaning ‘colors of life in motion’ – is an intelligent mobility concept which stretches primarily the bridge between caravans, camper, lifestyle and business. Dubbed a ‘lifestyle motor home’, the cockpit can be disconnected from the usable living space. The livable area is flexible, with individually applicable multi function modules. Designed for two people (max. four persons), the motor home offers the possibility to personalize its four mobile ‘walls’ according to the present life situation of the user. This flexibility is not only limited to the living area, but also features in the cockpit.”
 
 

This is awesome!!  Wow!! I can see myself driving a little before fear its self sets in.  :0).  I really like it a lot.

Hello all my spiritual brothers and sisters...
I just had to share my 2 wonderful experiences, I had Saturday before my field service and during my field service! I usually have my latest issues in my magazine bag, but I had forgotten them at my house, so I went back to get them. Then I went to McDonalds to get my yogurt parfait! I normally  put them in my magazine bag, but I had left them in my lap, so as I was paying for my yogurt parfait, the cashier said to me "Give me one of those books"  I  love to read them and look up the scriptures, and bring me some more! Wow, I was so excited, I said Thank you Jehovah!!
The next experience I had was in the territory we worked in Saturday!  It  just so happens that my return visit was in the territory we were working in,  so I went to his house too,  and gave him his  latest issue, but my experience that I'd love to share with you is that in the last house the woman and man were sitting in their car, so I approached the woman and showed her my Watchtower No.4 and she said " Oh I used to read those books , and the man grabbed it out of her hand, and was going to give it back to me, and told me "She goes to her own church" and she grabbed it back and said"  I'm keeping it" ! So she went into her house and I explained to the man, that were not trying to change their religion, were just carrying out Jesus commandment  to us , to preach the good news as Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19 &20 says !!  He did listen to me !  So Jehovah's Holy Spirit and his angels were with me, as always !!  Agape love, Shirley !
From  Shirley Ann Lowery
 

Wonderful  Shirley !  Thank  you  so much  for  sharing  your  nice  experiences  with  us  all !  May  Jehovah  bless  you  always  and  tell  us  here  more  of  that,  yes ?  Thank  you !

No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches.—Matt. 6:24.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/14
Our Father, Jehovah, has committed himself to helping us obtain the things we really need if we put the Kingdom and his righteousness first in our lives. (Matt. 6:33) Thus, true Christians always have a choice. Jehovah promises to provide a “way out” that does not require compromising Bible principles, no matter what challenges we face. (1 Cor. 10:13) When we “wait expectantly” for Jehovah, when we “rely on him” by praying for his wisdom and direction and by following his commands and principles, then “he will act in [our] behalf.” (Ps. 37:5, 7) He will actively bless our sincere efforts to serve only him as the one true Master. If we put him first, he will make our lives “successful.”—Gen. 39:3. w14 4/15 3:17

The two greatest commands Jesus reminded us of are at Matthew 22:37-40 and these begin with love. Love for Jehovah, love for our neighbor, as for oneself. Things resolve by love.

DEUT.  10 : 17,

After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.—Matt. 25:19.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/13
Jesus will come to settle accounts with his slaves toward the end of the great tribulation just ahead. What leads us to this conclusion? In his prophecy recorded in Matthew chapters 24 and 25, Jesus repeatedly mentioned his coming. Referring to the judgment during the great tribulation, he said that people “will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven.” He urged his followers living in the last days to be vigilant, saying: “You do not know on what day your Lord is coming” and “the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.” (Matt. 24:30, 42, 44) Hence, when Jesus said that “the master of those slaves came and settled accounts,” he was evidently referring to the time when he will come to execute judgment at the end of this system. w15 3/15 3:11

This picture warms my heart. Praise Jehovah!!

A  PIC  FROM  2013   -  TYPHOON  ON  THE  PHILIPPINES  ;-(

Let your petitions be made known to God.—Phil. 4:6.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/7/12
When Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the central Philippines in late 2013, Sheryl, who was only 13 years old at the time, lost virtually everything. She said: “I lost my home, and I lost most of my family.” Her father, mother, and three siblings died in the powerful storm surge. What has helped Sheryl to get through this tragedy without becoming bitter? She has a grateful heart and remains conscious of the blessings she still has. “I saw all that the brothers and sisters did to bring relief and encouragement to those who needed help. I knew that brothers all around the world were praying for me.” She added: “I am very thankful that Jehovah is my God. He always gives us the things we need.” Yes, being conscious of our blessings is a powerful antidote to being swallowed up by grief. An appreciative heart helps us to go on despite any distressing events that we may face.—Eph. 5:20. w15 1/15 1:13
