In no way are we giving any cause for stumbling, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.—2 Cor. 6:3.
Christians have to train their mind and conscience to respond appropriately when neutrality-related issues arise. (Rom. 14:19) Take, for example, Mirjeta from a region of the former Yugoslavia. She was raised to hate Serbians. On learning that Jehovah is impartial and that Satan is responsible for inciting ethnic problems, she strove to rid herself of nationalistic sentiments. Yet, when ethnic violence broke out in her area, old hatreds began to resurface in her, causing Mirjeta to find it difficult to preach to Serbs. She realized, though, that she could not just sit back and hope that such unwholesome feelings would go away. She begged Jehovah for help to overcome this challenge. “I have found that focusing on the ministry is the best help ever,” she says. “In the ministry, I try to imitate Jehovah’s loving personality, and I have seen my negative feelings melt away.” w15 7/15 3:11-13

In that day each of the prophets will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; and they will not wear an official garment of hair in order to deceive.—Zech. 13:4.
Will the destruction of the religions of Babylon the Great result in the death of all the former members of those religions? Apparently not. Some of the clergy will abandon their religious course and deny that they were ever part of those false religions. (Zech. 13:5, 6) How will God’s people fare at that time? Jesus explains: “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.” (Matt. 24:22) In 66 C.E., the tribulation was “cut short.” This allowed “the chosen ones,” anointed Christians, to flee the city and its environs. Likewise, the initial part of the future great tribulation will be “cut short” because of “the chosen ones.” The political “ten horns” will not be allowed to annihilate God’s people. (Rev. 17:16) Rather, there will be a brief respite. w15 7/15 2:5, 6

Whoever isolates himself . . .   rejects all practical wisdom.—Prov. 18:1.
Courageously placing ourselves under the kindly scrutiny of a mature Christian may prevent us from rationalizing any wrong desires. (Heb. 3:12, 13) Talking about our weakness with a mature, spiritually qualified Christian may help us to identify blind spots. This can help us to make the necessary adjustments in order to remain in Jehovah’s love. Christian elders are especially qualified to help us. (Jas. 5:13-15) Seeking assistance is essential if the source of any immoral desires is the unclean habit of viewing pornography. The longer the delay in seeking help, the greater the risk that unclean desires will ‘become fertile and give birth to sin’ that will hurt others and bring reproach on Jehovah’s name. The desire to please Jehovah and to remain in the Christian congregation has moved many of his servants to accept loving help.—Jas. 1:15; Ps. 141:5; Heb. 12:5, 6. w15 6/15 3:15-17

Death and Sorrows are Temporary Things
Death and Sorrows are Temporary Things
We can't live in misery when we have a Hope Greater than what we are going through
When dealing with trying times just remember it's our Heavenly Father in prayer
we need to always turn to  All the things we endure are only Temporary things
There is coming a time which Forever Peace he will surely bring.
The sadness of heart or spirit will be a thing of the past,
Nothing that we are going through now was ever meant to last.
Take Happiness in the Hope of what God’s Kingdom will bring,
In that Day tears of sadness will be replaced by the Joyful songs we will sing.
Thank you Father, in time you will be reliving our Hearts from All the Temporary things.

•1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14
◦13 Moreover, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who are sleeping in death, so that you may not sorrow as the rest do who have no hope. 14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus

I  selected  this  picture  for  today.... 

A  beautiful  double  RAINBOW    VERY  VERY  RARE  IN  THAT  FORM...   Enjoy
( remember,  a promise  of  Jehovah  to  us  all... )

3  Sisters  from  Nigeria....  Granny,  Mom  and  the  daughter    Also  freely  forgiving  quickly ?

So  sweet  old  couples  also  forgiving,  its  not  so  much  stress,  more  healthy     Look,  how  loving  he  is  to  his  wife

MAKE NO MISTAKE, we are living in the last days of Satan's rulership of planet earth, and as a whole, rulership over mankind in general. The small percentage of true followers of Jehovah God and Christ Jesus are the only exceptions, as Satan does not control us. 1 John 5:19.
Jehovah's servants know and understand, that the next major prophecy we are anxiously waiting on to be fulfilled is the "false cry of peace and security." 1 Thessalonians 5:3.
It seems to me that prior to that false cry of peace and security, a major worldwide crisis will occur...  the kings and rulers of the earth will become quite agitated and worried...   but somehow,  the big crisis will be resolved in the minds of these rulers, and they will make the declaration...  Ahh, AT LAST, PEACE AND SECURITY  HAS ARRIVED!
Notice the scripture mentioned above....  That will signal  "Jehovah's Day"...   And notice the words....   "Sudden destruction is to be instantly on them."  --
As we look around the world today,  we can see the tensions being increased in every corner.  Could this be the big crisis?   Well, we do not know....  only Jehovah knows that !
But what we do know is we need to be ready for whatever happens...  Brothers and Sisters....  Get your  "to go"  bags replenished,  and listen VERY carefully to the slave,  and the Elders in your congregation...  be  ready  to comply  explicitly.

"I am Jehovah.  That is my name"   ~Isaiah 42:8

Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.—Jas. 4:7.
How can we fight Satan and win? Jesus told his disciples: “By your endurance you will preserve your lives.” (Luke 21:19) Nothing that any human can do will cause us permanent harm. Nobody can take away our precious friendship with God unless we allow that to happen. (Rom. 8:38, 39) Even the death of Jehovah’s servants does not score a victory for Satan, for Jehovah will see to it that they are resurrected! (John 5:28, 29) On the other hand, Satan’s prospects are bleak indeed. After the destruction of his ungodly system, Satan will be abyssed for 1,000 years. (Rev. 20:1-3) At the end of Jesus’ Thousand Year Reign, Satan will be “released from his prison” for a short time to make a final attempt to mislead perfect mankind. After that, the Devil will be destroyed. (Rev. 20:7-10) Satan faces certain doom, but that is not true of you! Take your stand against Satan, firm in the faith. (1 Pet. 5:9) You can fight Satan and win! w15 5/15 2:1, 18

The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, but the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.—Prov. 22:3.
A shrewd person realizes that contemplation can be like a fire. If fire is handled properly, it can be useful, such as when it cooks our food. But fire is deadly when it is uncontrolled and burns down a house and kills its occupants. Similarly, contemplation is useful when it helps us to imitate Jehovah. However, it can be harmful when it feeds immoral desires. For example, if we make it a practice to think about sinful actions, this could lead to our acting out such fantasies. Indeed, indulging in immoral reverie can be spiritually deadly! (Jas. 1:14, 15) Jesus warned against entertaining mental images of immoral conduct. He said: “Everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”—Matt. 5:28. w15 5/15 4:11, 12, 14

I was especially fond of the sons of men.—Prov. 8:31.
Woven throughout the fabric of Jesus’ preaching tours were evidences of his genuine concern for the human family. In one instance, Jesus encountered a pitiful sight. (Mark 1:39, 40) Right in front of him was a man with a frightful disease, leprosy. Testifying to the advanced stage of the man’s illness, physician Luke describes him as being “full of leprosy.” (Luke 5:12) “When he caught sight of Jesus, [the leper] fell facedown and begged him: ‘Lord, if you just want to, you can make me clean.’” The man had no doubt that Jesus possessed the power to heal him, but what he needed to know was, did Jesus have the desire to do so? How would Jesus respond to this heartfelt request? Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and with a voice reflecting both strength and tenderness, he said: “I want to! Be made clean.” Then “the leprosy vanished from him.” (Luke 5:13) Yes, Jesus demonstrated how much he loved people.—Luke 5:17. w15 6/15 2:3-5

OUR  BROTHER,  sorry  name  just  forgotten   AND  HIS  WIFE  SISTER  HELEN
LOYAL  AND  ALWAYS  FORGIVING  UNTIL  THE  LAST  HOUR ?

I WAS THINKING about our preaching work recently, and how it has been accelerated recently by using the World Wide Web...   and is sure to explode more as we notify all interested ones of our unique and wonderful website. What a marvelous tool we have for preaching and teaching our message !
If Jehovah wanted, he could write that website in the sky for all to see, along with an encouraging message to go there to learn about him....   and  I asked myself,  why he does not do that?
Here is my answer to that question....   a way we are taught to preach now is the way to separate and collect the "honest hearted individuals"  from among mankind...  the ones who in their heart, are searching for the truth and in their heart, want to serve Jehovah correctly because they love him...   and not just because of what they can gain from him.  By  this  method,  each individual gets to make their own heartfelt decision.
If  the message appeared in the sky for all to see,  all mankind would instantly know that the message would be coming from God...  and they would all rush into Jehovah's  "Boat" ....   not because they love him,  but,  because and only because they want to gain something from him.  Jehovah is not looking for those kinds of individuals. Jehovah is very selective, and knows our hearts....   If  we are blessed to know about him and his purpose for mankind,  it is because he has drawn us.
What a wonderful privilege we have, brothers and sisters...  let's not waste a minute, nor overlook anyone who may have an "honest heart!"
