Queen Esther

You will actually drink the milk of nations.—Isa. 60:16.

Many inventions of the past 200 years have helped us to accomplish our commission to make disciples. (Matt. 28:19, 20) In fulfillment of the prophecy that Jehovah’s people would “drink the milk of nations,” we have made wise use of resources of the nations, such as modern technology, in order to produce the Bible and Bible literature in many languages. Clearly, we have strong evidence of God’s blessing. Of course, Jehovah does not rely on our help to accomplish his purposes. Yet, our loving heavenly Father allows us to be his “fellow workers,” thus enabling us to show our love for him and for our neighbor. (1 Cor. 3:9; Mark 12:28-31) May we take advantage of our opportunities to proclaim the Kingdom message, the most important work on earth. By all means, let us show how thankful we are that Jehovah has guided and blessed our global teaching work! w15 2/15 4:16, 17

AMEN..... Agape !

Its ok. your opinion... but you've to accept other opinions too !  For some things we've all our conscience. Its the same by the blood questions, many JW have a little different opinion for their own body, we know that and its ok. Thats also a case of our own conscience and no other brother or sister has to say anything against that ! Satan has nothings to do with my decisions, only Jehovah. Many JW watching *STAR WARS* and similar movies too... We got a conscience from Jehovah and we can use it. Thats my last word to this discuss theme ! 

PS. My son was playing in the past often the character figure Dagobert Duck, from Mickey Mouse...  Today he is a good, successful Banker, but also a JW !  Wish you a nice day ;o)

WOW,  never  heard.... thats  clever  &  very  interesting !  I  love  little  sweetly  fragrant  ;o)  Will  more  inform  me.  My  favorite  is  the  *Frangipani*  in  white / yellow  -  a  phenomenal  fragrance !  Frangipani  is  drop-dead  fragrant...  huuuii >>>>>>>   Can't  stop when  I've  a  blossom, hahaha  ;o)

Its  growing  on  the  Maldives,  Hawaii  etc.

THE SHOE - BOX  A  nice  story❤

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totalling  $95,000.

He asked her about the contents.
'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness.

'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'

'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

A Prayer
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength it gets
me through this day and many others.

Ertötet die Glieder eures Leibes in Bezug auf Hurerei, Unreinheit, sexuelle Gelüste (Kol. 3:5)

Das Wort „ertöten“ zeigt ganz klar, dass wir drastische Maßnahmen ergreifen müssen, um gegen unmoralische Wünsche anzukämpfen. Wir werden alles vermeiden, was ein sexuelles Verlangen für jemand anders als unseren Ehepartner wecken könnte (Hiob 31:1). Je mehr wir unser Leben nach Gottes Willen ausrichten, desto mehr werden wir das Böse verabscheuen und am Guten festhalten (Röm. 12:2, 9). Die neue Persönlichkeit spiegelt die Persönlichkeit Jehovas wider, nach dessen Bild sie geschaffen ist (Kol. 3:10). Wie gut es doch ist, wenn Ehemänner und Ehefrauen ihre moralische „Abwehr“ stärken, indem sie sich „mit der innigen Zuneigung des Erbarmens, mit Güte, Demut, Milde und Langmut“ kleiden (Kol. 3:12). Die Ehe wird auch harmonischer, wenn sie sich von dem „Frieden des Christus“ leiten lassen (Kol. 3:15). Wie schön, wenn Ehepaare „innige Zuneigung zueinander“ haben (Röm. 12:10). w15 15. 1. 4:10, 11

Amortecei . . . os membros do vosso corpo . . . com respeito a fornicação, impureza, apetite sexual. — Col. 3:5.

A palavra “amortecer” — no sentido de “tornar como que morto” — indica que devemos tomar fortes medidas para combater desejos imorais. Evitaremos qualquer coisa que possa despertar em nós desejos sexuais por alguém que não é nosso cônjuge. (Jó 31:1) À medida que harmonizamos a vida com a vontade de Deus, aprendemos a odiar “o que é iníquo” e a nos apegar “ao que é bom”. (Rom. 12:2, 9) A nova personalidade reflete “a imagem Daquele que a criou”, o próprio Jeová. (Col. 3:10) Maridos e esposas fortalecem seu casamento quando se revestem “das ternas afeições de compaixão, benignidade, humildade mental, brandura e longanimidade”. (Col. 3:12) Eles também ficam mais unidos quando deixam ‘a paz do Cristo dominar seus corações’. (Col. 3:15) É muito gratificante quando os dois demonstram ‘terna afeição um pelo outro’. — Rom. 12:10. w15 15/1 4:10, 11

Faites [...] mourir les membres de votre corps [...], pour ce qui est de la fornication, de l’impureté, des désirs sexuels (Col. 3:5).

L’expression « faites mourir » indique que nous devons combattre énergiquement les désirs charnels immoraux. Nous devons être déterminés à fuir tout ce qui risque d’éveiller chez nous du désir pour une personne autre que notre conjoint (Job 31:1). Quand nous conformons notre vie à la volonté de Dieu, nous apprenons à « [avoir] en aversion ce qui est mauvais » et à « [nous] attache[r] à ce qui est bon » (Rom. 12:2, 9). La personnalité nouvelle reflète « l’image de Celui qui l’a créée », c’est-à-dire de Jéhovah lui-même (Col. 3:10). Quand ils renforcent leurs défenses morales en se revêtant des « tendres affections de la compassion, ainsi que de bonté, d’humilité, de douceur et de patience », que de bienfaits des conjoints récoltent ! (Col. 3:12). S’ils laissent « la paix du Christ dirig[er] [leurs] cœurs », leur vie de couple n’en est que plus harmonieuse (Col. 3:15). Et quand ils éprouvent l’un pour l’autre « une tendre affection », quelle satisfaction ils en retirent ! (Rom. 12:10). w15 15/1 4:10, 11.

Zadajcie śmierć członkom waszego ciała, (...) jeśli chodzi o rozpustę, nieczystość, żądzę seksualną (Kol. 3:5).

Zwrot „zadajcie śmierć” wskazuje, że zwalczanie niemoralnych pragnień cielesnych wymaga naprawdę stanowczych działań. Będziemy wystrzegać się wszystkiego, co mogłoby rozbudzić w nas pożądanie osoby niebędącej naszym partnerem małżeńskim (Hioba 31:1). Gdy dostosowujemy życie do woli Bożej, uczymy się ‛mieć wstręt do tego, co niegodziwe, i lgnąć do tego, co dobre’ (Rzym. 12:2, 9). Nowa osobowość odzwierciedla przymioty „Tego, który ją stworzył” — czyli samego Jehowy (Kol. 3:10). Kiedy mąż i żona przyodziewają się „w tkliwe uczucia: współczucie, życzliwość, uniżenie umysłu, łagodność i wielkoduszną cierpliwość”, wzmacniają się pod względem moralnym i zaznają wspaniałych błogosławieństw od Jehowy (Kol. 3:12). A gdy pozwalają, by ‛pokój Chrystusowy władał w ich sercach’, cieszą się większą harmonią w małżeństwie (Kol. 3:15). Ileż zadowolenia i przyjemności sprawia im przejawianie wobec siebie ‛tkliwych uczuć’! (Rzym. 12:10). w15 15.1 4:10, 11

Умертвите ваши земные члены в отношении блуда, нечистоты, похоти (Кол. 3:5).

Слово «умертвить» означает, что, борясь с безнравственными плотскими желаниями, мы должны действовать решительно. Мы будем избегать всего, что может пробудить в нас влечение к кому-либо, кроме нашего мужа или жены (Иов 31:1). Живя в согласии с волей Бога, мы учимся питать отвращение к нечестию и держаться добра (Рим. 12:2, 9). Облекаясь в новую личность, мы подражаем качествам «Сотворившего ее», то есть самому Иегове (Кол. 3:10). Мужья и жены пожинают обильные благословения, когда укрепляют свою нравственность, облекаясь «в нежные чувства сострадания, доброту, смирение ума, кротость и долготерпение» (Кол. 3:12). Благодаря тому что супруги позволяют «миру Христа» господствовать в их сердцах, в их семье царит гармония (Кол. 3:15). Как прекрасно, когда мужья и жены «нежны друг к другу»! (Рим. 12:10). w15 15/1 4:10, 11

Deaden . . . your body members . . . as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion.—Col. 3:5.

The word “deaden” indicates that we must take strong measures to fight against immoral fleshly desires. We will avoid anything that might arouse in us sexual desire for someone other than our mate. (Job 31:1) As we conform our lives to God’s will, we learn to “abhor what is wicked” and “cling to what is good.” (Rom. 12:2, 9) The new personality reflects “the image of the One who created it,” Jehovah himself. (Col. 3:10) What blessings result when husbands and wives fortify their moral defenses by clothing themselves “with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, mildness, and patience”! (Col. 3:12) They also enjoy greater marital harmony when they “let the peace of the Christ control [their] hearts.” (Col. 3:15; ftn.) How rewarding it is for couples to “have tender affection for one another”!—Rom. 12:10. w15 1/15 4:10, 11

Yes,  this  is  so  amazing...  from  a  beggar  to  an  elder  in  a  congregation !!  Jehovah  wants  all  humans,  HE  is  SO  just  in  ALL  things ❤  In  the  NW  we  can  prob. ask  this  man  to  his  exactly  story  ;o)

29 The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.

Чтобы вы больше не поступали, как поступают... другие народы (Эф. 4:17).

Если мы принимаем правильные решения, то уже сейчас можем вести полную смысла жизнь и будем достойны наследовать землю, то есть жить вечно. Мы даже представить себе не можем, сколько прекрасных благословений нас ожидает! (Матф. 5:5; 19:29; 25:34). Но Бог не дает благословений всем без исключения. Он чего-то от нас требует (1 Иоан. 5:3, 4). Чтобы в наши дни верно служить Иегове, нужно прилагать усилия, но это того стоит! Как мы рады, что Бог так щедро нас одарил! У нас есть точное знание его Слова и ясное понимание истины о нем и о его намерении. Мы удостоены чести носить его имя и быть его Свидетелями. Бог обещает быть за нас (Пс. 118:7). Так давайте будем все мы, и молодые, и пожилые, проявлять признательность, живя так, чтобы было видно, что мы хотим отдавать Иегове «славу вовеки» (Рим. 11:33—36; Пс. 33:12). w14 15/12 4:19—21

29 The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.

Wandelt nicht mehr so weiter, wie auch die Nationen wandeln (Eph. 4:17)

Wenn wir uns richtig entscheiden, können wir schon heute ein erfülltes Leben führen und zu denen gehören, die „die Erde erben“ und ewig darauf leben. Wir können uns gar nicht vorstellen, wie viel Gutes uns dann erwartet! (Mat. 5:5; 19:29; 25:34). Natürlich erhalten wir das nicht automatisch. Jehova möchte, dass wir etwas dafür tun (1. Joh. 5:3, 4). Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, ihm heute treu zu dienen! Jehova hat uns so viel gegeben: Wir dürfen sein Wort genau kennen und die Wahrheit über ihn und das, was er vorhat, genau verstehen. Wir dürfen seinen Namen tragen und seine Zeugen sein. Und Jehova ist an unserer Seite (Ps. 118:7). Wie sehr wir, ob alt oder jung, das doch schätzen! Jedem von uns ist es ein Herzensanliegen, durch unseren Lebenswandel Jehova für immer zu loben und zu ehren (Röm. 11:33-36; Ps. 33:12). w14 15. 12. 4:19-21
