Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it happen to me according to your declaration.—Luke 1:38.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/6
Mary was to conceive, give birth to, and raise the only-begotten Son of God! It is easy to think only of Mary’s wonderful privilege and fail to consider some of the practical concerns that might have seemed daunting. God’s angel Gabriel told her that she would become pregnant miraculously—without having relations with a man. Gabriel did not offer to go to Mary’s family and neighbors to explain the cause of her pregnancy. What would they think? Mary must have been concerned about her fiancé, Joseph. How could she convince him that, although she was pregnant, she had remained faithful to him? Moreover, what a responsibility it would be to raise, care for, and train the only-begotten Son of the Most High! We cannot know all the concerns that may have raced through Mary’s mind when Gabriel spoke to her. However, we do know that she answered with the words of today’s text.—Luke 1:26-37. w16.02 2:13, 14

Hushai the Archite was there to meet him, with his robe ripped apart and dirt on his head.—2 Sam. 15:32.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/7
A man named Hushai needed courage to be loyal to God. Hushai was a loyal friend of King David. However, his loyalty was tested when David’s son Absalom won the heart of many and sought to take Jerusalem and the throne. (2 Sam. 15:13; 16:15) David fled the city, but what would Hushai do? Would he switch his loyalty to Absalom, or would he follow the elderly king who was fleeing for his life? Resolved to be loyal to the king appointed by God, Hushai met David on the Mount of Olives. (2 Sam. 15:30) David asked Hushai to go back to Jerusalem, to pretend to be Absalom’s friend, and to frustrate the advice of Ahithophel. Risking his very life, Hushai proved loyal to Jehovah and did what David asked him to do. Just as David had prayed, the counsel of courageous Hushai did frustrate that of Ahithophel.—2 Sam. 15:31; 17:14. w16.02 4:15, 16
 
 

Please,  lets  be  careful  and  NOT  judging  here !  Maybe  its  your  opinion  -  okay.  But  ONLY  ONE  has  to  judge  and  that  is  Jehovah,  right ?  Only  from  writing  you  never  know  a  human / JW.  -  I  understand  your  feelings...  you're  new  here,  but  SO  fast  with  judging ?  My  advice,  watching  us  all  for  a  time,  maybe  your  thinking  is  little  different.  I  know  some  of  us  more  years,  thats  the  reason  I  write  you.    Greetings  from  Germany

(2 Timothy 4:5)
1. Go forward in preaching the Kingdom To people in ev’ry land. With love in your hearts for your neighbor, Help meek ones to take their stand. Our service to God is a priv’lege; His word we are glad to proclaim. Go out in the field and keep preaching; Give witness to God’s holy name.

2. True ministers keep pressing forward With God’s prize of life in view. We follow the steps of our Master With hearts that have been made new. The good news of God’s coming Kingdom Is something that all need to hear. We preach in the strength of Jehovah; With him there is nothing to fear!
(CHORUS) Forward, boldly preach the Kingdom message ever far and wide. Forward, faithful, loyally remaining on Jehovah’s side.
3. Together we press ever forward, God’s remnant and other sheep. The old and the young men and women In step with the truth do keep. Our service we hold to be sacred; Our worship is never routine. To God may we prove ever worthy By conduct that’s holy and clean.
(CHORUS) Forward, boldly preach the Kingdom message ever far and wide. Forward, faithful, loyally remaining on Jehovah’s side.

(Isaiah 30:20, 21)
1. There is a way of peace, The way you’ve come to know. It is the way you learned, The way of long ago, The way that Jesus taught you When his voice you heard. This is the way of peace, Found in Jehovah’s Word.
(CHORUS) This is the Way to life; This is the Way. Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray! God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way; Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’
2. There is a way of love, No need to look around. God’s voice has shown the way He lets himself be found. His love is full and good; His love is warm and true. This is the way of love; It touches all we do.
(CHORUS) This is the Way to life; This is the Way. Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray! God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way; Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’
3. There is a way of life, No need to look behind. Our God has promised us: No better way we’ll find, No higher way to peace, No finer way to love. This is the way to life, Thanks to our God above.
(CHORUS) This is the Way to life; This is the Way. Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray! God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way; Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’

God put Abraham to the test.—Gen. 22:1.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/5
Picture an elderly man trudging up a mountainside. He is making what must be the hardest journey of his life. It is not his age that makes this trek so daunting. Abraham may be about 125 years old, but he is still vigorous. Following him is a younger man, perhaps 25 years of age. It is his son Isaac, who is carrying firewood. Abraham has a knife and the means to start a fire. Jehovah has asked him to sacrifice his own son! (Gen. 22:1-8) Abraham was facing what was likely the greatest test of his faith. Abraham did not obey God blindly. Instead, he obeyed because he could see. With eyes of genuine faith, he saw that his heavenly Father, Jehovah, never asks His faithful servants to do anything that will result in their lasting harm. Abraham knew that if he obeyed Jehovah, his God would bless him and his beloved son. On what was that faith based? On knowledge and experience. w16.02 1:3, 4

Haha...  WHAT a question !  Of course we all allow that and being SO grateful, when Jehovah will do it again in the paradise❤️  When we one day all perfect again, like Adam and Eve at the beginning, then we will get the chance, to talk with Jehovah too !  What a fantastic time, talking with our heavenly, loving father ;-))  I can't really imagine, but its my big wish??  I am sure, we all have many special questions....  Then we're all his perfect children and we're all happy, day and night !
I hope, we work it ❤️❤️❤️
( PS. I not mean per Bible, like now....  I mean the time speaking in real with Jehovah )

German Bundeskanzlerin  Angela MERKEL, mentions "homosexuals & Jehovah's Witnesses" with Putin. Sochi May 2017
2 May 2017 - Post Sochi Russia press conference meeting. German Bundeskanzler (Federal Chancellor) Angela Merkel is fluent in Russian, President Vladimir Putin is fluent in German. Angela Merkel is head of the CDU Christian Democratic Union party in Deutschland. It is spoken in German but i think there are subtitles. It is mentioned by Merkel before the ten minute time mark. Between 9 minutes and 10 minutes in the press meeting. The German premier raised issue with "homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses" (Zeugen Jehovas) in Sochi Russia with the Russian premier.
 
What a historical act. The bible is becoming more and more true. One of the penultimate prophecies. If the world hates you, you know that she hated me before she hated you. If you were a part of the world, the world would be yours dear. Because you are now no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, so the world hates you. Keep the word that I said unto you, If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you ( Joh 15;18 )

Whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty respecting the body and the blood of the Lord.—1 Cor. 11:27.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/4
What point is the apostle Paul here making? An anointed Christian would partake unworthily if he did not maintain a good relationship with Jehovah. (Heb. 6:4-6; 10:26-29) Such a warning helps anointed Christians to remember that they have not yet taken hold of the reward. They need to continue to press on “toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13-16) Under inspiration, Paul appealed to anointed Christians “to walk worthily of the calling with which [they] were called.” How should this be done? Paul goes on to say “with all humility and mildness, with patience, putting up with one another in love, earnestly endeavoring to maintain the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:1-3) Jehovah’s spirit promotes humility, not pride.—Col. 3:12. w16.01 4:5, 6

They all became filled with holy spirit.—Acts 2:4.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/3
The year was 33 C.E., and it was the day of Pentecost. In an upper room in Jerusalem, a group of about 120 Christians were gathered together, “persisting in prayer.” (Acts 1:13-15) What was about to happen to them fulfilled a prophecy uttered by the prophet Joel. (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16-21) God’s holy spirit was poured out on that group of Christians who were gathered in the upper room. (Acts 1:8) They started to prophesy, or bear witness, concerning the wonderful things they had seen and heard. To a multitude that soon gathered, the apostle Peter explained the significance of what had happened. Then he told his audience: “Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit.” Altogether about 3,000 accepted the invitation that day, were baptized, and received the promised holy spirit.—Acts 2:37, 38, 41. w16.01 3:1-3
