    This is how the holy women of the past who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, subjecting themselves to their husbands.—1 Pet. 3:5.
    During Family Worship sessions, we focus on spiritual matters, and this contributes to the unity of the family. Practicing for the field ministry can equip the family to be better prepared to preach effectively. And it is not hard to see that when members of a family share comments about God’s Word, they are drawn closer together—all love the same God and all are interested in doing his will. What can married couples do to cooperate to Jehovah’s praise? When both mates are faithful servants of Jehovah, they can rejoice in the unity that this affords them. Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Elkanah and Hannah—all expressed their love for their mate. We should make it a point to do the same. (Gen. 26:8; 1 Sam. 1:5, 8) That will unite us with our mate and draw us closer to our heavenly Father.—Eccl. 4:12. w16.03 3:12, 13

    Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.—Isa. 30:18.
    Jehovah is fully aware of our limitations. (Ps. 103:14) Therefore, he does not expect us to endure trials in our own strength but offers us his fatherly help. Of course, at times, we might feel that we cannot go on anymore. But Jehovah assures us that he will never allow his servants to suffer beyond their limit of endurance. Yes, he will “make the way out.”(1 Cor. 10:13) Therefore, we have good reason to trust that Jehovah’s assessment of what we can bear is right. When relief does not immediately follow our prayers for help, let us wait on the One who knows just when to act in our behalf. Remember that he too is exercising patience, for he is ever eager to come to our rescue. “Jehovah is waiting patiently to show you favor, and he will rise up to show you mercy. For Jehovah is a God of justice.” w15 4/15 4:8, 9

    Looks Bigger and Brighter....
    A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth; also called perigee.

    A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon.
    Moon phases and events....
    Next Supermoon, December  3. 2017
    The next Supermoon will be on December 3, 2017.
    The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon will come even closer to Earth is on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time).
    How can Full Moon be in the daytime?
    Perigee and Apogee
    The Moon's orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle, but elliptical, with one side closer to Earth than the other.
    As a result of the Moon's elliptical orbit, the distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year. On average the distance is about 382,900 kilometers (238,000 miles).
    The point on the Moon's orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee and the point farthest away is the apogee.

    Super Full Moon and Super New Moon
    Illustrative comparison of a Supermoon and Micromoon.
    According to NASA, a Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than a Micromoon.
    When a Full Moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth, it is called a Super Full Moon. A New Moon that takes place when the Moon is around its perigee is known as a Super New Moon.
    A Micromoon, on the other hand, is when a Full or a New Moon is farthest from the Earth, around apogee. It's also known as a Minimoon, Mini Full Moon, or a Mini New Moon.
    Astronomical terms & definitions
    Not an Official Name
    Supermoon is not an official astronomical term. It was first coined by an astrologer, Richard Nolle, in 1979. He defined it as ‘a New or a Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in its orbit’. It is not clear why he chose the 90% cut off in his definition.
    There are no official rules as to how close or far the Moon must be to qualify as a Supermoon or a Micro Moon. Different outlets use different definitions. Due to this, a Full Moon classified as a Supermoon by one source may not qualify as a Super Full Moon by another.
    Supermoon Definition
    The following definitions are used at timeanddate.com:
        Supermoon: A Full or New Moon that occurs when the center of the Moon is less than 360,000 kilometers (ca. 223,694 miles) from the center of Earth.
        Micromoon: A Full Moon or New Moon that takes place when the center of the Moon is farther than 405,000 kilometers (ca. 251,655 miles) from the center of Earth.
    Technical Name: Perigee-syzygy
    The technical term for a Supermoon is perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. In astronomy, the term syzygy refers to the straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies.
    When the Moon is close to the lunar nodes of its path during syzygy, it causes a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse

    A Full Moon near the horizon looks bigger and brighter than when the same Full Moon is higher  in the Sky.

    Because it's  SO  close to Earth, a Super Full Moon looks about 7% bigger than an average Full Moon. When compared to a Micromoon, it looks about 12% to 14% larger.
    A Super Full Moon also looks about 30% brighter than a Micro Full Moon and about 16% brighter than an average Full Moon.
    Biggest During Winter....
    Supermoons during Northern Hemisphere winter months tend to look larger than Supermoons that occur during the rest of the year. At this time of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun. Because of this, the Sun's gravity pulls the Moon closer to Earth, making any winter Super Full Moons look bigger than summer Super Full Moons.
    Best at Moonrise
    The best time to enjoy a Super Full Moon is after moonrise when the Moon is just above the horizon, weather permitting. At this position, a Super Full Moon will look bigger and brighter than when it's higher up in the sky because you can compare the apparent size of the Moon with elements in the landscape like hills, foliage, and buildings. This effect is called the Moon Illusion.

    PERSONAL REFLECTION
    WE DO NOT FOLLOW MEN
    Last meeting before the foundation of the new community 193 NORTH - MARITIBA - BRAZIL
    Nord-Maritiba, Brasilien
    Today's Saturday text has been John 6:38. Our slave does not walk with half measures to tell us clearly that once dedicated, it is wrong to live a double life. If there is ever a conflict between what we want and what Jehovah wants, what will we do?
    This could illustrate the position of Jehovah's Witnesses and their dedication in the so-called baptismal vows that have been written by the slave, so since 1985 every person who wants to be baptized must publicly proclaim "yes" to the following question: " Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with the organization led by the spirit of God? "
    Why is it required to publicly confess to belonging to the organization? Has God required this from you? Did the first century Christians declare that they were in association with the apostles led by the spirit? The truth is that this question must be answered publicly.
    In fact, some identified themselves as belonging to prominent Christian elders, which is why in the first words of his first letter, the apostle Paul rebuked some of the Corinthians who claimed to belong to Paul, Cephas and others. So why did the apostle so vigorously oppose some of the Corinthians who claimed to belong to him? Paul's answer says it all: "Paul was not fixed on a tree for you, was he not, or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1. Corinthians 1:13
    The real problem is this: we all tend to be followers of men. It is a trend in all of us. That is why although they were anointed and received miraculous gifts of the spirit, some of the members of the Corinthian congregation claimed to belong to certain prominent apostles. Paul took strong measures to crush that trend. And that is a problem.
    Given the fact that there is now a growing number of people who are ceasing to associate with what they once confessed to recognizing as the organization directed by the spirit of God, it is evident that the dissociated are followers of men to a large extent. This becomes more evident when people stop striving to fulfill God's will because they stumble over the misconduct of some pastors of our organization. In other words, these people base their dedication to God on the actions of others. As long as they perceive that their elders are true, they stay the course. When they perceive that their elders have a bad behavior, that cancels their dedication.
    We follow an organization, but not men.
    r the practice. This is because the State -which the Family Judge represents- has the non-derogable responsibility of ensuring the human and personal rights of all persons and even more of those in special vulnerable condition. (ANB / ANR)

    I have come...  to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.—John 6:38.
    Imagine that a friend gives you a car as a gift. He hands you the title and says: “I will keep the keys. And I will be the one who drives the car, not you.” How would you feel? Now think about what Jehovah rightfully expects of a person who makes a dedication to him, a person who tells him: “I am giving you my life. I belong to you.” What if that person were to start living a double life, perhaps secretly dating an unbeliever? What if he were to accept employment that crippled his whole-souled service in the ministry or attendance at Christian meetings? Would that not be like keeping the keys to the car? A person who dedicates himself to Jehovah is, in effect, saying: “My life belongs to you more than to me. If there is ever a conflict between what you want and what I am inclined to want, what you want will win—every time.” That would reflect the thinking of Jesus, as stated in today’s text. w16.03 1:16, 17
