Jesús comenzó a predicar y a decir: “Arrepiéntanse, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado” (Mat. 4:17).

Jesús enseñó a sus discípulos a predicar. Les dijo: “Serán testigos de mí tanto en Jerusalén como en toda Judea, y en Samaria, y hasta la parte más distante de la tierra” (Hech. 1:8). Los primeros cristianos entendieron bien qué se esperaba de ellos. Una vez que Pablo y Bernabé estaban en Antioquía de Pisidia dijeron a sus opositores judíos: “Era necesario que la palabra de Dios se les hablara primero a ustedes. Puesto que la están echando de ustedes y no se juzgan dignos de vida eterna, ¡miren!, nos volvemos a las naciones. De hecho, Jehová nos ha impuesto el mandamiento con estas palabras: ‘Te he nombrado como luz de naciones, para que seas una salvación hasta la extremidad de la tierra’” (Hech. 13:14, 45-47). Desde el primer siglo, la parte terrestre de la organización de Dios ha proclamado lo que él ha hecho para salvar a la humanidad. w14 15/5 3:13

Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”—Matt. 4:17,

Jesus taught his disciples to do the same work. He told them: “You will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) The early followers of Christ definitely understood what was required of them. At Antioch in Pisidia, for example, Paul and Barnabas boldly told their Jewish opposers: “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you. Since you are rejecting it and do not judge yourselves worthy of everlasting life, look! we turn to the nations. For Jehovah has commanded us in these words: ‘I have appointed you as a light of nations, for you to be a salvation to the ends of the earth.’” (Acts 13:14, 45-47) Since the first century, the earthly part of God’s organization has been making known his provision for salvation. w14 5/15 3:13

THE  LOTUS  EFFECT...  CREATED  BY  JEHOVAH ❤

Water on the surface of a lotus leaf....

Computer graphic of a lotus leaf surface...

The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo or "lotus flower".[1] Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro- and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet's adhesion to that surface. Ultrahydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties are also found in other plants, such as Tropaeolum (nasturtium), Opuntia (prickly pear), Alchemilla, cane, and also on the wings of certain insects.[2]

The phenomenon of ultrahydrophobicity was first studied by Dettre and Johnson in 1964[3] using rough hydrophobic surfaces. Their work developed a theoretical model based on experiments with glass beads coated with paraffin or PTFE telomer. The self-cleaning property of ultrahydrophobic micro-nanostructured surfaces was studied by Barthlott and Ehler in 1977,[4] who described such self-cleaning and ultrahydrophobic properties for the first time as the "lotus effect"; perfluoroalkyl and perfluoropolyether ultrahydrophobic materials were developed by Brown in 1986 for handling chemical and biological fluids.[5] Other biotechnical applications have emerged since the 1990s  ---

10/17/2016  -  INDIA,  Indien, Zone karnataka  - Mumbai (AsiaNews)
Karnataka: 6 Jehovah's Witnesses arrested on charges of forced conversions. :-(

Two far-right Hindu groups filed a complaint against the Witnesses. Leaflets encouraging conversions to their beliefs were found in a car. For Christian leader, "India is a secular nation” and “the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion."

Speaking to AsiaNews, Sajan K George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), condemned the arrests. He said that the Jehovah’s Witnesses "were stopped as they handed out religious tracts house to house,” noting that “the distribution of Christian religious material is neither illegal nor criminal."

The incident occurred in Manikallu, Udupi district, scene in recent years of several attacks by Hindu radicals against Christians.

Members of two nationalist groups, the Bhramari Yuvaka Mandal and Hindu Jagran Vedike, alerted police in Kota of the presence of Jehovah’s Witnesses, saying they were converting people by force.

The police rushed to the village and took six Witnesses into custody, on charges of religious propaganda. Leaflets inciting people to convert were found inside a car.

Sajan K George rejects the charges against the Christians, and slams the police, "which leans towards the local extreme right-wing groups and charges Christians and others on false charges."

"India is a secular nation,” he reiterated, “and Article 25 of the Constitution guarantees the free profession, practice and propagation of religion." (NC)

PREACHING  THE  NEW  KIND....
Sister takes her car, parked in a public place and mount point information. As the Watchtower study this week, adapt to new means of preaching he says.

MAY  JEHOVAH  BLESS  HER ❤

6 testigos de Jehova arrestados por la denuncia de grupos hindúes radicales, que los acusaron ante la policía de hacer "CONVERSIONES A LA FUERZA"  :-(
La India es una nación secular, y el articulo 25 de la Constitución garantiza la libertad religiosa, su practica y la distribución de publicaciones"

ADAPTARSE A LA NUEVA PREDICACIÓN
la hermana coge su coche, aparca en un lugar publico y monta su punto de información. Como dice el estudio de la Atalaya de esta semana, ADAPTARSE a los nuevos medios de predicacion. ;o)

It was a marvelous meeting! Everybody I spoke to has nothing but positive things to say about the brother, the talk and the news about the progress in our territory.

He visited Greece for the dedication of the RTO in Nikaia.

If I may correct something you wrote @Queen Esther, it was not all the congregations in Greece but only those who had meetings on the same time as the live streaming. Of course every congregation will watch the programm but not in live streaming as they will stream the video next weekend (or in base of local dispositions). The total attendance was about 13100 brothers and sisters which amounts in something less than the half of all the brothers and sisters in Greece. :-)

Thank you very much for the detailed and wonderful comment,  Brother Praeceptor.  You could enjoy the nice talk from Brother Lett. I got the text and picture from a Spanish Brother. I also know such of connected talks from other GB. Brothers, so nice, yes ;-)  Again, thank you ! 

Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid.—Heb. 13:6.

“People often comment about how happy Jehovah’s Witnesses are,” says a longtime elder in a developing country. “They also notice that even poor Witnesses are always nicely dressed and appear to be better off than others.” This harmonizes with the promise Jesus made to those who put the Kingdom first. (Matt. 6:28-30, 33) Yes, your heavenly Father, Jehovah, loves you and wants only the best for you and your children. “The eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.” (2 Chron. 16:9) He has given us his commandments—including those relating to family life and material needs—for our benefit. When we follow them, we show that we love him and trust in him. “This is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome.”—1 John 5:3. w14 4/15 4:19, 20

BROTHER Steven Lett, visited Greece on 16 October
ALL CONGREGATIONS OF GREECE AND CYPRUS WERE CONNECTED ONLINE.
The title of his speech was: "Protect your relationship with Jehovah by cultivating humility."
Jesus was so humble that speak of himself in the third person, as "the son of man."
The proud person is something unpleasant to the Lord because he claims something that belongs only to Jehovah.
The brother then visit LIBERIA AND CONGO in Africa, which will give you a surprise in your language. ;-)  Enjoy !

Jehová es mi ayudante; no tendré miedo (Heb. 13:6).

Un anciano experimentado que vive en un país pobre comenta: “Muchas veces la gente habla de lo felices que somos los testigos de Jehová”. Y agrega: “También se da cuenta de que hasta los hermanos pobres siempre van bien vestidos y parecen tener más que otros de su entorno”. Esto prueba que la promesa que Jesús hizo a los que ponen primero el Reino se cumple (Mat. 6:28-30, 33). Su Padre celestial lo ama y desea lo mejor para su familia. La Biblia dice que “sus ojos están discurriendo por toda la tierra para mostrar su fuerza a favor de aquellos cuyo corazón es completo para con él” (2 Crón. 16:9). Él nos ha dado mandatos sobre cómo cuidar de la familia para que nos vaya bien. Cuando le obedecemos, demostramos amor y confianza en él. “Pues esto es lo que el amor de Dios significa: que observemos sus mandamientos; y, sin embargo, sus mandamientos no son gravosos.” (1 Juan 5:3.) w14 15/4 4:19, 20

EL HERMANO Steven Lett, VISITO GRECIA EL 16 OCTUBRE
TODAS LAS CONGREGACIONES DE GRECIA Y CHIPRE ESTUVIERON CONECTADAS EN LINEA.
El título de su discurso fue: "Proteja su relación con Jehová mediante el cultivo de la humildad".
Jesús era tan humilde que hablo de si mismo en tercera persona, como "el hijo del hombre".
La persona orgullosa es algo desagradable a Jehová porque él reclama algo que sólo pertenece a Jehová.
El hermano visitara a continuación LIBERIA Y CONGO en África, a los que dará una sorpresa en su idioma. ;-)

Al grado que lo hicieron a uno de los más pequeños de estos hermanos míos, a mí me lo hicieron (Mat. 25:40).

http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/10/17

Jesús ha estado conversando con sus amigos, Pedro, Andrés, Santiago y Juan. Acaba de contarles las parábolas del esclavo fiel y discreto, de las 10 vírgenes y de los talentos. Pero todavía tiene que contarles una parábola más. Les habla del tiempo en que “el Hijo del hombre” juzgará a “todas las naciones”. ¿Podemos imaginar la expectación con que le escuchan sus discípulos? Jesús habla de dos grupos: las ovejas y las cabras. Y, a continuación, menciona a un grupo muy importante: los “hermanos” del “rey” (Mat. 25:31-46). Al pueblo de Jehová siempre le ha interesado mucho esta parábola, y con razón, pues su significado está relacionado con el futuro de las personas. En ella, Jesús dijo que un grupo viviría para siempre y otro sería destruido. w15 15/3 4:1, 2

To the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.—Matt. 25:40.

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/17

Jesus has been speaking to Peter, Andrew, James, and John, his close companions. They have just heard him relate illustrations about the faithful and discreet slave, the ten virgins, and the talents. Jesus concludes his discussion with one more parable. He describes a time when “the Son of man” will judge “all the nations.” How this illustration must have fascinated his disciples! In it, Jesus focuses on two groups, one classed as sheep and the other as goats. And he highlights an important third group that he identifies as “brothers” of “the King.” (Matt. 25:31-46) Jehovah’s people have long been intrigued by this illustration and rightly so, for in it Jesus speaks about the fate of people. He reveals why some will receive everlasting life while others will be cut off in death forever. w15 3/15 4:1, 2
