Seek the peace of the city to which I have exiled you.—Jer. 29:7.
The Jewish exiles who submitted to the will of God lived a relatively normal life in Babylon. Their captors allowed them to administer their own affairs to some extent. The exiles even had freedom to move about the country. Babylon was a center of trade and commerce in the ancient world, and documents that have been unearthed indicate that many Jews learned the art of buying and selling there, while others became skilled craftsmen. Some Jews even became prosperous. Exile in Babylon was nothing like the slavery in Egypt that the Israelites had experienced centuries before. (Ex. 2:23-25) But would the Israelites ever again be able to worship God in a completely acceptable way? At the time, it seemed most unlikely that they would. Babylon never released its captives. Yet, Jehovah had promised that his people would be liberated, and so they were. God’s word of promise never fails.—Isa. 55:11. w16.11 4:3, 5

We died with reference to sin.—Rom. 6:2.
Those Christians were still alive on earth, so how could that be said of them? God applied the ransom to Paul and others of his day. Thus Jehovah forgave their sins, anointed them with holy spirit, and called them to be his spiritual sons. Then they had the heavenly hope. If they proved faithful, they would live and rule with Christ in heaven. But Paul could speak of them while they were still alive and serving God on earth as having “died with reference to sin.” He used the example of Jesus, who died as a human and then was raised up as an immortal spirit in heaven. Death was no longer master over Jesus. It was similar with anointed Christians, who could consider themselves “dead with reference to sin but living with reference to God by Christ Jesus.” (Rom. 6:9, 11) Their way of life was not as it once was. They were no longer obeying the dictates or impulses of their sinful desires. They had died to that previous way of life. w16.12 1:9, 10

The congregations continued to be made firm in the faith.—Acts 16:5.
Brothers traveling on behalf of the governing body shared “the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and the elders who were in Jerusalem.” (Acts 16:4) As congregations observed those decrees, they “continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number day by day.” What should we do when we receive direction from God’s organization today? Jehovah’s own Book directs all of us to be obedient and submissive. (Deut. 30:16; Heb. 13:7, 17) A critical or rebellious spirit has no place in God’s organization, for such an attitude could disrupt our loving, peaceful, and united congregations. Of course, no loyal Christian would want to display a disrespectful and disloyal spirit like that of Diotrephes. (3 John 9, 10) We might well ask ourselves: ‘Do I contribute to the spirituality of those around me? Am I quick to accept and support the direction given by the brothers taking the lead?’ w16.11 2:10, 11

They are born.....
So many stars are born in the universe,
And so small I feel before You!
What glow is the dust of a verse,
How much is Jehovah worth my life?How Jehovah is worth a star
When galactics come out of your hand - Are you alive?
Too Great God, what is my life?
A moment from your eternal eternity!But your supreme gesture rages me,
When for man You let him die,
From your first universe Violin,
The holy word for the first time!Everything you loved most, the first son,
To taste death for everyone
It is in spirit that man becomes alive
And death to be ashamed!Your Jehovah's love barks me,
And you give me power to overcome the fall,
The pain worlds do not hurt,
Taste Your Sweet Word Like Honey!? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

From dawn to evening
We are at the "harvest"!
It's winter or summer
It's asphalt or gravel!That it's cold or very hot,
JAH makes us fears,
Eyes in preaching burn,
With Jehovah we are strong!The stress, all over the world,
Can not stop the stunt!
We preach in the "Dead Sea"
And we have the wind from the back!Commitments, worries, and weaknesses,
At Jehovah we put everything!
By Jehovah we are good,
By Jehovah you say, "I can!"IAH always gives us love,
And proof of confidence!
In "harvest" dedication,
Tenders, provision!We are heading towards the end,
The world is boiling!
Jesus on the white horse,
He asks for discernere,The signs have happened,
The world ran out of dust,
In an outdated system,
We are in Jehovah's hand!The sun is in the dusk,
For the world of Satan!
Over the world of evil flows,
Day by day and year after year!From dawn to night
The "Good News" is famous!
The fruits are all ripe,
But the world has "otitis"!Her illness is heavy disease,
Jesus the holy king,
He does not see it and does not want it
King over the whole Earth!Her serious, otitis disease,
It destroyed the tympanum!
Surprisingly she imitates,
Satan, a dead head! " -
If I have all the faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.—1 Cor. 13:2.
Jesus emphasized the all-important quality of love for God when he answered the question: “Which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” (Matt. 22:35-40) Because of the importance of both faith and love, Christian Bible writers highlighted these qualities together multiple times, often in the same sentence or phrase. Paul urged his brothers to “put on the breastplate of faith and love.” (1 Thess. 5:8) John wrote: “This is [God’s] commandment: that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another.” (1 John 3:23) Although faith is essential, aspects of this quality will pass away when we see the fulfillment of God’s promises and experience the reality of our Christian hope. But the need to grow in love for God and for our neighbor will never cease. Thus, Paul could write: “Now, however, these three remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love.”—1 Cor. 13:13. w16.10 4:15-17

The Bible is a holy book,
Jehovah's Word.....
Want to have life part,
In Paradise on Earth?Jehovah tells you clearly:
Only the Word sanctifies you,
And he gives life to his gift,
Only to the one who loves me!You love dead traditions,
"Babylon" being support
Ignoring "My Holy Book,
You have a "dead soul"!"Bunnies," "eggs," resurrection,
Symbol of fertility,
Jesus eternal does not ask,
Symbol of futility!He said: "The supper dinner,
It's my memory! "
Dress up a "white coat"
"And I will forgive you forever!"Rituals, baptism, drunkenness,
It turns into profanity!
The Bible is "living book"
Do not be mistaken!Respecting Holy Scripture
We respect God,
And JAH of us endure,
It includes us for His purpose!?.•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•.?

He reads His law in an undertone day and night.—Ps. 1:2.
To keep our faith strong, Jehovah has kindly provided us with his complete Word, the Bible. To be “happy” and to “succeed,” we must regularly read God’s Word, daily if possible. (Ps. 1:1-3; Acts 17:11) Then, like pre-Christian worshippers of Jehovah, we need to keep meditating on God’s promises and be obedient to his requirements. Jehovah has also blessed us with an abundant supply of spiritual food provided through “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45) Thus, by cherishing what we learn from the spiritual provisions that Jehovah has made available, we will be like the ancient examples of faith who had an “assured expectation” of their Kingdom hope. (Heb. 11:1) Prayer also played a vital part in keeping the faith of pre-Christian witnesses strong. Their faith was strengthened as they experienced God’s answers to their prayers.—Neh. 1:4, 11; Ps. 34:4, 15, 17; Dan. 9:19-21. w16.10 3:7, 8

NEW UNDERSTANDING, THAT ALMOST HAPPENS INADVERTED.....
At the last meeting of the Watchtower, we were considering the article "Jehovah loves those who" bear fruit with endurance "
In this article a new understanding on the part of the slave was opened to our mind.
Paragraph 9 specifically says:
"What is the fruit that we must produce?" Without a doubt, it must be something that we can all carry out, and what work has Jehovah commanded us all his servants? The preaching of the message of the Kingdom.
Not many brothers and sisters captured this new understanding since they even came to quote me at the end of the meeting, an appointment that was made precisely the previous meeting based on a 2008 Watchtower, which says:8:15. To be one of those who "retain [the word] and bear fruit with endurance", we must understand, assimilate and recognize the value of the Word of God. When we read the Bible and Christian publications, we need to pray and meditate.
The first type of terrain is hard, the second is shallow and the third is full of thorns. The fourth, on the other hand, is a good land that produces fruit (Luke 8: 8). Remember that the sower of the parable can not control the results. Knowing this comforts all Christians and in particular those who have been many years, even decades, preaching faithfully without much apparent results. Why is that fact comforting them? The sower's fidelity is not measured by the results of their work. This was confirmed by Paul when he said: "Each person will receive his own reward according to his own work" (1 Corinthians 3: 8). What is rewarded is the work, not the results
A sower of the word may not see that his work is bearing much fruit; however, that does not mean that you have been less diligent or faithful than others
(end of quote)According to the brothers, what was said in paragraph 9 of the study of the Watchtower IS THE SAME thing that the Watchtower of 2008 already said. Even the one in 2010 and the one in 2015, said the same thing.
BUT THEY ARE IN AN ERRORIt really does not say the same thing. Let's look good.
According to these ancient Watchtowers, what is called FRUIT? TO THE RESULTS, to the disciples. Therefore, the slave used to say that we should not worry if we do not get much fruit in the form of disciples.But now, the new understanding, makes us see that the FRUIT IS THE OWN PREACHING and that the seed that we sow, does not produce fruits, but more seeds.
This understanding is more adjusted to Jehovah's way of thinking, where endurance applies more to the fruit of PREACHING, and is what our Father rewards. -
Who makes you different from another?—1 Cor. 4:7.
For a while, the apostle Peter harbored prejudice against non-Jews, but he gradually learned to eradicate negative views from his heart. (Acts 10:28, 34, 35; Gal. 2:11-14) Likewise, if we detect any trace of prejudice or racial pride in us, we should make a conscious effort to root it out of our heart. (1 Pet. 1:22) We might reflect on the fact that none of us deserve salvation; we are all imperfect humans, regardless of our nationality. (Rom. 3:9, 10, 21-24) So why should we feel superior to anyone else? We should have a view like that of the apostle Paul, who admonished his fellow anointed Christians that they were “no longer strangers and foreigners, but . . . members of the household of God.” (Eph. 2:19) Earnest effort to overcome prejudiced views regarding those who are of a different background will certainly help us to put on the new personality.—Col. 3:10, 11. w16.10 1:9

Men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.—2 Pet. 1:21.
Some have chosen study projects that involved studying Bible prophecy or the Bible’s historical, archaeological, and scientific accuracy. One fascinating prophecy to consider is Genesis 3:15. That verse introduces the Bible’s primary theme, which is the vindication of God’s sovereignty and the sanctification of his name by means of the Kingdom. That one verse, using figurative language, sets out how Jehovah will solve all the suffering that humans have experienced since Eden. How might you study Genesis 3:15? One way would be to prepare a time line. It could list key scriptures that show how God bit by bit shed light on the individuals and arrangement referred to in this verse and that prove that the prophecy will be fulfilled. As you see the scriptures form a harmonious unit, you will surely conclude that the Bible prophets and writers must have been “moved by holy spirit.” w16.09 4:8
