    Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.—Isa. 30:18.

    Jehovah is fully aware of our limitations. (Ps. 103:14) Therefore, he does not expect us to endure trials in our own strength but offers us his fatherly help. Of course, at times, we might feel that we cannot go on anymore. But Jehovah assures us that he will never allow his servants to suffer beyond their limit of endurance. Yes, he will “make the way out.”(1 Cor. 10:13) Therefore, we have good reason to trust that Jehovah’s assessment of what we can bear is right. When relief does not immediately follow our prayers for help, let us wait on the One who knows just when to act in our behalf. Remember that he too is exercising patience, for he is ever eager to come to our rescue. “Jehovah is waiting patiently to show you favor, and he will rise up to show you mercy. For Jehovah is a God of justice.” w15 4/15 4:8, 9

    He does not go back on his promise, even when it is bad for him.—Ps. 15:4.

    Saul urged Jonathan to pursue his own interests. (1 Sam. 20:31) But loyalty to God moved Jonathan to befriend David rather than seek the advantages of the kingship for himself. Jonathan did not “go back on his promise” to David; neither should we go back on our promises. For example, if a business agreement becomes harder to honor than expected, our loyalty to God and regard for the Bible should move us to keep our word. And what if our marriage proves to be more challenging than anticipated? Love for God will surely move us to be loyal to our mate. (Mal. 2:13-16) Also, let us prove our loyalty to Jehovah by being loyal to his people, even those who may disappoint us. When we are loyal to Jehovah God in the face of challenging situations, we make his heart rejoice. (Prov. 27:11) If we remain loyal to Jehovah, we will see how he eventually works everything out for the good of those who love him. w16.02 3:16, 17

    PERSONAL REFLECTION
    WE DO NOT FOLLOW MEN
    Last meeting before the foundation of the new community 193 NORTH - MARITIBA - BRAZIL
    Nord-Maritiba, Brasilien

    Today's Saturday text has been John 6:38. Our slave does not walk with half measures to tell us clearly that once dedicated, it is wrong to live a double life. If there is ever a conflict between what we want and what Jehovah wants, what will we do?
    This could illustrate the position of Jehovah's Witnesses and their dedication in the so-called baptismal vows that have been written by the slave, so since 1985 every person who wants to be baptized must publicly proclaim "yes" to the following question: " Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with the organization led by the spirit of God? "
    Why is it required to publicly confess to belonging to the organization? Has God required this from you? Did the first century Christians declare that they were in association with the apostles led by the spirit? The truth is that this question must be answered publicly.

    In fact, some identified themselves as belonging to prominent Christian elders, which is why in the first words of his first letter, the apostle Paul rebuked some of the Corinthians who claimed to belong to Paul, Cephas and others. So why did the apostle so vigorously oppose some of the Corinthians who claimed to belong to him? Paul's answer says it all: "Paul was not fixed on a tree for you, was he not, or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1. Corinthians 1:13
    The real problem is this: we all tend to be followers of men. It is a trend in all of us. That is why although they were anointed and received miraculous gifts of the spirit, some of the members of the Corinthian congregation claimed to belong to certain prominent apostles. Paul took strong measures to crush that trend. And that is a problem.

    Given the fact that there is now a growing number of people who are ceasing to associate with what they once confessed to recognizing as the organization directed by the spirit of God, it is evident that the dissociated are followers of men to a large extent. This becomes more evident when people stop striving to fulfill God's will because they stumble over the misconduct of some pastors of our organization. In other words, these people base their dedication to God on the actions of others. As long as they perceive that their elders are true, they stay the course. When they perceive that their elders have a bad behavior, that cancels their dedication.

    We follow an organization, but not men.

    r the practice. This is because the State -which the Family Judge represents- has the non-derogable responsibility of ensuring the human and personal rights of all persons and even more of those in special vulnerable condition. (ANB / ANR)

    Looks Bigger and Brighter....

    A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth; also called perigee.

    A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon.

    Next Supermoon, December  3. 2017

    The next Supermoon will be on December 3, 2017.

    The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon will come even closer to Earth is on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time).

    How can Full Moon be in the daytime?
    Perigee and Apogee

    The Moon's orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle, but elliptical, with one side closer to Earth than the other.

    As a result of the Moon's elliptical orbit, the distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year. On average the distance is about 382,900 kilometers (238,000 miles).

    The point on the Moon's orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee and the point farthest away is the apogee.

    Illustrative comparison of a Supermoon and Micromoon.
    According to NASA, a Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than a Micromoon.

    When a Full Moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth, it is called a Super Full Moon. A New Moon that takes place when the Moon is around its perigee is known as a Super New Moon.

    A Micromoon, on the other hand, is when a Full or a New Moon is farthest from the Earth, around apogee. It's also known as a Minimoon, Mini Full Moon, or a Mini New Moon.

    Astronomical terms & definitions
    Not an Official Name

    Supermoon is not an official astronomical term. It was first coined by an astrologer, Richard Nolle, in 1979. He defined it as ‘a New or a Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in its orbit’. It is not clear why he chose the 90% cut off in his definition.

    There are no official rules as to how close or far the Moon must be to qualify as a Supermoon or a Micro Moon. Different outlets use different definitions. Due to this, a Full Moon classified as a Supermoon by one source may not qualify as a Super Full Moon by another.
    Supermoon Definition

    The following definitions are used at timeanddate.com:

        Supermoon: A Full or New Moon that occurs when the center of the Moon is less than 360,000 kilometers (ca. 223,694 miles) from the center of Earth.
        Micromoon: A Full Moon or New Moon that takes place when the center of the Moon is farther than 405,000 kilometers (ca. 251,655 miles) from the center of Earth.

    Technical Name: Perigee-syzygy

    The technical term for a Supermoon is perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. In astronomy, the term syzygy refers to the straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies.

    When the Moon is close to the lunar nodes of its path during syzygy, it causes a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse

    Because it's  SO  close to Earth, a Super Full Moon looks about 7% bigger than an average Full Moon. When compared to a Micromoon, it looks about 12% to 14% larger.

    A Super Full Moon also looks about 30% brighter than a Micro Full Moon and about 16% brighter than an average Full Moon.
    Biggest During Winter....

    Supermoons during Northern Hemisphere winter months tend to look larger than Supermoons that occur during the rest of the year. At this time of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun. Because of this, the Sun's gravity pulls the Moon closer to Earth, making any winter Super Full Moons look bigger than summer Super Full Moons.
    Best at Moonrise

    The best time to enjoy a Super Full Moon is after moonrise when the Moon is just above the horizon, weather permitting. At this position, a Super Full Moon will look bigger and brighter than when it's higher up in the sky because you can compare the apparent size of the Moon with elements in the landscape like hills, foliage, and buildings. This effect is called the Moon Illusion.

    TRANSLATION  FOR  OUR  ENGLISH  SPEAKING  MEMBERS.... :)

    ******************************************************************************

    Family judge María Marcela Pájaro authorized a blood transfusion of a 6-year-old boy whose parents profess the cult "Jehovah's Witnesses."

    The decision adopted was based, in particular, on the right of every child to live as laid down in Article 6 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and on the state of health proposed in Article 24 of the CRC, the latter being the right to enjoy the highest possible level of health and care for diseases and health rehabilitation.

    It should be noted that the petition was made by the lawyer of the Hospital of Bariloche at the request of a pediatrician treating the child. For this reason, she took turns calling the minors' defense lawyer and the family judge to clarify the emergency situation of the little boy who, according to his picture, asked for a transfusion of red blood cells that the parents did not want to be members of the cult "Jehovah's Witnesses".
    It should be remembered that those who profess to have this religion give written authority to avoid transfusion if treated in this way.

    Following admission to the hospital and after talking with the pediatrician and talking with relatives, permission was granted for the transfusion with the consent of the youth advocate, without the consent of the attending physician that the transfusion would be used. Yes and only if it was important.

    It should be noted that an attempt was made to contact the child, but when he realized that he was resting and alert at his young age, it was considered unnecessary to disturb his calm.

    The resolution stated that this right conflicts with the right of parents to profess religion and educate their children under the commandments of that faith. In this sense, it was mentioned that "the parental responsibility that the law imposes on the head of the parent must be exercised in accordance with the guiding principles of the CCF 639. Parents of children under 13 always exercise legal representation and if their decisions Do not endanger the child, as it is a right, but in principle a duty when personal rights are concerned, there is a limit to the fact that no right is absolute, nor that arising from parental responsibility.

    It was also noted that "General Comment No. 7 of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which deals specifically with the realization of the rights of children in early childhood, includes the objectives of local customs and practices except in cases that infringe the rights of the child (Objective 2 (e)).

    Judge Pájaro's ruling recalled that "... the powers of transfusion of persons who profess the religion of Daniel's parents are recurrent in our courts, although the 1993 Supreme Court has resolved the Bahamondez case. that "... it is interesting to note that there were different foundations and that some judges believed that the question was based on the provisions of Article 19 of the Magna Carta, while others in the freedom of worship. Regardless of this, and regardless of the basis to be taken, it is clear that judges should not interfere in the decision taken by an adult, fully aware of the consequences of his decision, in full compliance with informed consent ... "

    The situation is different for children, as has been reported, and for children with disabilities who can not comment, even more sensitive. In this case, features are added that increase their vulnerability: short age, disability and a specific pathology that has not yet been determined. "... the fact that their parents confess a certain religion does not allow them to think that they are the owners of their son just because they conceived him ..."

    It should be noted that the parents, informed immediately of the court decision to authorize the transfusion, stated that they would comply without objection, that they understood the reasons and that they appreciated the work and the humane and ethical treatment of the pediatrician.

    The parents did not interfere with the transfusion, but considered that they could not give their consent, so for that reason, the judge in the use of the faculty that accepts the law has suggested that this was the best alternative for the child ,

    "... Everyone has the right to confess the cult he wants and to make decisions about his health only with the restrictions set by the law, as long as they do not make free and voluntary decisions

    In the main, this is the heart of the resolution and, depending on the rights in dispute before weighing the interests affected, it was necessary to authorize the practice. This is because the State -which the Family Judge represents- has the non-derogable responsibility of ensuring the human and personal rights of all persons and even more of those in special vulnerable condition.

    No te dejaré (2 Rey. 2:2).

    Hace unos tres mil años, el profeta Elías invitó a Eliseo a convertirse en su ayudante. El joven aceptó sin dudarlo y estuvo dispuesto a realizar tareas humildes para el profeta (2 Rey. 3:11). Después de unos seis años, Eliseo ya estaba bien capacitado. Entonces se enteró de que la labor de su amo en Israel estaba a punto de terminar. Pero aunque Elías le pidió que dejara de seguirlo, Eliseo estaba decidido a quedarse junto a su maestro todo el tiempo posible. Si eres un hermano joven, ¿cómo puedes imitar a Eliseo? Aceptando de buena gana cualquier tarea que te encarguen, aunque sea humilde. Viendo a tu maestro como un amigo y diciéndole que agradeces mucho sus esfuerzos. Pero sobre todo, cumpliendo sin falta tus tareas. ¿Por qué? Porque así demostrarás que eres fiel y confiable, y los ancianos verán que eres la clase de persona a la que Jehová quiere encargarle más responsabilidades (Sal. 101:6; 2 Tim. 2:2). w15 15/4 2:13, 14

    He bajado para hacer, no la voluntad mía, sino la voluntad del que me ha enviado (Juan 6:38).

    Imagínate que un amigo te regala un automóvil. Te entrega los papeles y te dice: “Me quedo con las llaves. Yo lo conduciré”. ¿Cómo te sentirías? Ahora piensa en lo que espera Jehová de una persona que se dedica a él y que le dice: “Te entrego mi vida, te pertenezco a ti”. ¿Y si esa persona comienza a llevar una doble vida? Quizás empieza a salir con alguien que no sirve a Jehová. ¿O qué tal si acepta un empleo que le roba el tiempo que debería dedicar a la predicación y las reuniones? Eso sería como quedarse con las llaves, por decirlo así. Pero la persona que se ha dedicado a Jehová le ha dicho: “Mi vida es más tuya que mía, y cada vez que tenga que escoger entre hacer lo que yo quiero y lo que tú quieres... tú ganarás”. Si piensas así, estás imitando a Jesús, quien dijo lo que se menciona en el texto de hoy. w16.03 1:16, 17
