Queen Esther

It's so hard for me to say 'goodbye'...
to those folks that we hold dear...
how my heart too often, aches
just because they are not here...
They are living in my dreams...
When I wake, tears fill my eyes...
For the emptiness I feel
in my heart, I can't disguise.
They all passed this way but once
How they touched my heart & soul
in a very special way!
Their departure left a "hole."
None will ever take their place...
Oh, how my eyes long to see
all these dear ones who are gone...
For they meant the world to me!
How I long for their embrace -
just to hear their voice once more...
and to see their loving smiles -
These are things that I long for!
Are these hopes we entertain
nothing more than wishful thinking?
Or is there a firm foundation
that our hopes will be the real thing?
Yes, we all have a real hope
There's a time when we will see
earthly paradise restored
Then all the dead will be...
Restored to life again..
Never more to separate...
from their families and friends...
This God's promises do state.
Loving kindness will be shown..
by Jehovah through his Son...
Who lay down his perfect life
So that God's will would be done.
What a grand time that will be!
When death will be no more
All in 'Hades" are set free...
What a grand hope lies in store!
We won't have to say 'goodbye'
We'll cry tears of joy instead...
For our hearts will overflow
when we welcome back the dead!

Thank  you  JEHOVAH    ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

ITS  ONLY  A  GAME.....   I  am  fair,  always  the  BEST  has  to  win  - and  it  must  change  on  and  off,  thats  more  interesting   Always  the  same  is  boring  anytime !

hmmm...

I know what you mean, Space Merchant. 
There's a whole lot of die hard Patriot loyalists where I live also. From the Tom Brady jerseys right down to the team logo on their houses, car windows,  and fleshly tattoos []. So, I know what field service is gonna be like for the rest of the week; maybe month......As long as no one brings up the Phillies win or even mention the Phillies at all.  
Grumpy Ol' Men and Women, and grumpy young people too. People can get really caught up in the fervor of losing. They can even start throwing things at you.......Boy; I better duck like G.W.Bush did when a pair of shoes came flying at him during a press conference . 

The Bible says that during the great tribulation the people will throw their money into the streets as it will be worthless so let’s see where this goes. We know that we are close to the end of this system

In  our  congregation  we  never  need  a  microphone - sister  for  wandering    ONLY  by  giving  comments  or  on  the  stage  by  different  exercises,  thats  all !

Not  "could"....   they  EXIST    bec. our  UNIVERSE  is  more  &  more  expanding !  Meanwhile  we  know  from  Milliards / Billions  of  galaxies....  In  the  past, we  thought  to  one  galaxy   but  that  was  a  big  mistake !   We  never  can  imagine,  how  really  giant  will  be  Jehovah's  importend  UNIVERSE  -  bec. its  never-ending  expanding,  WOW

Remember.....  your Grand Creator in the days of your youth,  before the  days of distress come.—Eccl. 12:1.
Many of the problems addressed in our publications for young people are not unique to them. All of us need to defend our faith, control our emotions, reject harmful peer pressure, and avoid unwholesome associations and entertainment. These topics and many others have been addressed in material designed for teenagers. Should adult Christians feel that it is demeaning for them to read publications directed to young people? Not at all! Although the material is presented in a way that appeals to youths, the information is based on timeless Scriptural principles, and all of us can benefit from these spiritual provisions. Besides helping young people to deal with problems, our publications help them to grow spiritually and draw close to Jehovah. Here, too, adult Christians can benefit.—Eccl. 12:13. w16.05 5:15, 16

The heart is more treacherous than anything else.—Jer. 17:9.
Pride can cause us to justify our actions, making us quite the opposite of malleable. Have you ever been hurt by a fellow Christian or by the loss of certain privileges? If so, how did you respond? Did pride come into play? Or was your main concern that of making peace with your brother and remaining loyal to Jehovah? (Ps. 119:165; Col. 3:13) Making a practice of sin, perhaps even committing secret sins, can also make one unresponsive to divine counsel. Sinning can then become easier. (Eccl. 8:11) One brother, who got into the habit of viewing pornography, later admitted, “I found myself developing a critical attitude toward the elders.” His habit was hurting him spiritually. Eventually, his conduct came to light, and he received much-needed help. Of course, we are all imperfect. If, however, we begin to develop a critical attitude or to excuse a wrong course rather than seek God’s forgiveness and help, our heart may already be hardening. w16.06 2:5, 6

Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength.—Deut. 6:4, 5.
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.” What a powerful statement! That reminder fortified the Israelites to confront the challenges facing them as they entered and took possession of the Promised Land. Our taking those words to heart will empower us to face the great tribulation just ahead and contribute to the Paradise to follow. Let us go on rendering exclusive devotion to Jehovah by loving and serving him whole-souled and putting forth earnest effort to maintain oneness in the Christian brotherhood. If we continue to do so, we can look forward with confidence to seeing fulfilled what Jesus said about those whom he will judge as sheep: “Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.”—Matt. 25:34. w16.06 3:2, 20

LIFE STORY   -   The Watchtower—Study Edition  |  May 2018
A Poor Start—A Rich Ending  ---
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-may-2018/poor-start-rich-ending/
As told by Samuel F. Herd  ~~~  The  full  story  by  the  link !

I was born in a one-room log cabin in a very small town called Liberty, Indiana, U.S.A. My parents already had three children when I came along — my older brother and two sisters.

Later, my mother gave birth to my two younger brothers and my younger sister.

Gloria,  was  a  jewel  when  I  married  her,  and  she  still  is...

Probably not; poor Brady had a hard time handling the ball; maybe it had concrete in it
Oh, and the NFL probably sees there's nothing's wrong with a football full of hot air either. 

ABOUT TIME! GO SUPERBOWL EAGLES!!!!!! 
I was sure getting pretty tired of the Patriots and Tom "deflate or not deflate" Brady! 
Nick Foles threw that  touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 2:21 on the clock ......and the rest is history!!!!!!! 
Congrats to Philly Eagles! First Superbowl title since 1960!!!!!!

El corazón es más traicionero que cualquier otra cosa (Jer. 17:9).
El orgullo puede llevarnos a justificar nuestros actos, haciendo que dejemos de ser fáciles de moldear. ¿Nos ha herido alguna vez un hermano o nos ha dolido perder algún privilegio? ¿Cuál fue nuestra reacción? ¿Dejamos que el orgullo nos afectara? ¿O nos preocupó más hacer las paces con el hermano y ser leales a Jehová? (Sal. 119:165; Col. 3:13). Si practicamos algún pecado, quizás en secreto, es posible que nos convirtamos en personas indiferentes a los consejos que nos dé Jehová. Cada vez nos será más fácil pecar (Ecl. 8:11). Un hermano, que tenía el hábito de ver pornografía, admitió con el tiempo: “Empecé a tener una actitud crítica hacia los ancianos”. Su hábito estaba dañando su espiritualidad. Al final todo salió a la luz, y recibió la ayuda que tanto necesitaba. Claro, todos somos imperfectos. Pero si comenzamos a tener una actitud crítica o a excusar nuestra mala conducta en vez de pedirle a Jehová que nos perdone y nos ayude, quizás nuestro corazón ya se esté endureciendo. w16.06 2:5, 6

Escucha, oh Israel: Jehová nuestro Dios es un solo Jehová. Y tienes que amar a Jehová tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma y con toda tu fuerza vital. (Deut. 6:4, 5).
“Jehová nuestro Dios es un solo Jehová”. Esa declaración tan llena de significado les dio a los israelitas las fuerzas necesarias para enfrentarse a los desafíos que les esperaban al entrar y conquistar la Tierra Prometida. Si hacemos nuestras esas palabras, también tendremos la fortaleza necesaria para sobrevivir a la cercana gran tribulación. Además, podremos contribuir a la paz y unidad en el Paraíso. Sigamos adorando exclusivamente a Jehová, amándolo y sirviéndole con toda el alma, esforzándonos intensamente para mantener la unidad en la congregación. Si lo hacemos, miraremos al futuro con la confianza de que se cumplirán las palabras de Jesús dirigidas a quienes juzgue como ovejas: “Vengan, ustedes que han sido bendecidos por mi Padre, hereden el reino preparado para ustedes desde la fundación del mundo” (Mat. 25:34). w16.06 3:2, 20

Acuérdate de tu Magnífico Creador en los días de tu mocedad, antes que procedan a venir los días calamitosos (Ecl. 12:1).
Muchos de los problemas que se tratan en nuestras publicaciones no son exclusivos de los jóvenes. A fin de cuentas, todos tenemos que defender nuestra fe, controlar las emociones, rechazar la presión de grupo y evitar las malas compañías y el entretenimiento perjudicial. Las publicaciones para los jóvenes han hablado de temas como estos y de muchos más. Si usted es un cristiano adulto, ¿debería pensar que esa información es demasiado simple para usted? Desde luego que no. Está basada en principios bíblicos eternos, y todos podemos beneficiarnos de ella, aunque esté redactada de manera que atraiga a los jóvenes. Nuestras publicaciones no solo han ayudado a los jóvenes a enfrentarse a sus problemas; los han ayudado a crecer espiritualmente y a acercarse a Jehová. Los adultos también pueden beneficiarse de ellas (Ecl. 12:13). w16.05 5:15, 16

Exactly. We should reflect the fruitage of the spirit even by the way we dress 
 

My point exactly, Q. Esther. Jehovah sees the heart and even if a poor servant of Jehovah doesn't have much, Jehovah still provides for them just like He did for the nation of Israel. He can make a poor person look rich just by the things they have. I can honestly say I have personally witnessed this, especially as a Pioneer. For brothers to dress with tight-fitting suits when they have the financial means to buy modest suits says a lot about what's in his heart.
These suits (straight legged tight pants and small blazers) are the latest style now. Even prominent athletes and celebrities are wearing them. Because they are designer suits, they costs between $500-$1,000 (USA). In view of the times we live in, could tht money pay for other things like rent and food, even a suit without a desiger''s label? 
Yes, only Jehovah read hearts but a person can give off clues that he is not being modest but haughty when he wears clothes that speaks volumes of a worldly attitude. Notice the sloppy hair on the young man on the left in the gray suit. Imagine going in field service looking like that. What would the householder's perception be? Not being critcal here but realistic. Our Lord and Savior King Jesus said, "by their fruits you will recognize them". He was talking about a person's actions that either identifies him as a disciple or not. The way we dress also bears fruit about our attitude toward theocratic order whether we're poor or rich.

The original Hebrew name of God re-discovered in 1,000 Bible manuscripts,
January 25, 2018

( Nehemia Gordon )
On January 21, 2018, Bible Scholar Nehemia Gordon and his team of researchers discovered the 1,000th Hebrew Bible manuscript containing the original name of God in Hebrew with vowels.
For two hundred years, scholars have believed based on Greek sources and conjecture that the Hebrew name of God was originally pronounced “Yahweh.” In late 2016, Gordon found never-translated traditional Jewish sources that explicitly identified the vowels of God’s name in Hebrew as “Yehovah.” This is similar to the English Jehovah, but with a “Y” and the emphasis on the final syllable.
God’s name, known as the Tetragrammaton, is written in most Hebrew Bible manuscripts with one of its vowels missing, making it unreadable in accordance with an ancient Jewish ban on speaking the name. Despite this, Gordon had previously discovered five Bible manuscripts with a full set of Hebrew vowels proving the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton was known to Jewish scribes as “Yehovah.”
The project to find new evidence corroborating this discovery, began in February 2017 and in less than one year Gordon found 1,000 more Hebrew Bible manuscripts with the full vowels “Yehovah.” These included the two earliest known Hebrew Bible manuscripts with vowels, Russian National Library, Evr. II B 100 from the year 894 AD and the Cairo Codex of the Prophets from 895 AD. Gordon and his team also found the vowels “Yehovah” in three manuscripts written with the lost “Babylonian Pointing,” discovered in the Cairo Genizah in 1896.
Gordon is the host of the “Hebrew Voices” podcast, which was downloaded 5.1 million times in 2017. He is also the author of the popular book Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence, which discusses the Jewish ban on speaking the “ineffable” name. Gordon holds a Masters Degree in Biblical Studies and a Bachelors Degree in Archaeology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has worked as a translator on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and as a researcher deciphering ancient Hebrew manuscripts. Gordon has written two popular books on the Hebrew origins of Christianity and is active in interfaith dialogue, speaking at synagogues and churches around the world.
