JEHOVAH  HAS   NOOO   DRESS - CODE    We  all  know,  in  poor  countries / area's,  the  JW  can  wearing  what  they  have.  But  mostly,  they  get  clothes  from  other  Brothers  which  have  little  more !
Thats  around  the  world  SO  different  with  JW - clothes...  I  like  the  colored  clothes  of  our  JW  in  Africa !  But  I  know,  we've  poor  and  little  richer  people  there,  the  same  on  many  different  islands,  also  on  the  Philippines  etc. etc.  -  OF  SURE,  Jehovah  doesn't  judge  a  person  about  their  clothes,  NEVER !   But  we  all  know,  HE  likes  clean  and  nice  clothes,  okay ?  But  first  our  honest  heart  is  importend !   Now  you  got  my  opinion  to  that.  -  Sorry,  but  I've  NO  time  for  chatting  longer  about  that  theme.
Wish  you  a  great  day  from  far  away  Germany !

So you believe Jehovah has a dress code, that men must wear suits and ties in order to please Jehovah?
 

THANK  YOU,  DEAR  BLANCHIE   Yes, we  try  doing  our  best,  then  we  can  come  in  into  the  PARADISE !  What  a  great  gift  from  JEHOVAH   ? ? ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•.  ? ? ?

This experience was given by  Brother Splane  of the Governing Body at an assembly in Oahu.
They said,  everyone at the assembly was tearing up.
In an Eastern European country in 1989  there was a huge 8.9 earthquake.
30,000 people died in 4 minutes. It happened in the morning and a man
had just returned from taking his small son to school. After he made sure his
wife was alright, he went straight back to the school to find his son.
When he got there he saw the school was completely flattened like a pancake.
Just rubble. He stood there devastated, completely destroyed.
Then he remembered a promise he made to his son sometime back. He told him that as long as there was life
and breath in his body he would always be there for him. So with that promise in his mind he
went around to the northeast side of the rubble where his son's classroom had been and started digging through the debris.
The neighbor came out and said, " Sir, I know you're distraught but you have to accept that your child is dead.
There's nothing you can do."  The man didn't stop digging, he just looked at the neighbor and said,
"Are you going to help me ?"
Later the fire chief came and told him and he had to stop, there was no one
left alive and he was putting himself in danger. Again, the father simply ask
"Are you going to help me now ?"
After many hours of digging the chief of police came and told him he was putting other people in danger and
ordered him to go home and to leave it to the professionals. The man again said nothing but,
"Are you going to help me now ?"
Finally, after 38 hours of digging through concrete and twisted metal the man moved a final boulder.
There he found a small space where several children have been protected. His son was among them.
The first thing he said to his father was, "Daddy,  I told them not to be scared. I told them you would come."
Brother Splane paused then he said... " The faithful slave is engaged in a massive search and rescue mission.
It is an enormous task, and what they are asking from you and me is,
"Are you going to help me now?"  -  Then he walked off the stage."  ------

If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake.—Matt. 16:24.
Some might be confused about the difference between dedication and baptism. For example, some young people say that they have made a dedication to Jehovah but are not ready to get baptized. Does that make sense? Making a dedication means telling Jehovah that you will serve him forever. At baptism, a person shows others that he is dedicated. Therefore, baptism is a public expression of a private dedication that you have already made in prayer to Jehovah. Before you get baptized, you need to be sure that you understand what dedication means. Simply stated, when you dedicate your life to Jehovah, you give up ownership of yourself. You promise Jehovah that you will put the doing of his will ahead of everything else in your life. Any promise should be taken seriously, but how much more so a promise made to Jehovah God!—Matt. 5:33. w16.03 1:14, 15

VERY  WELCOME  DEAR  SISTER       ? ? ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•.  ? ? ?

I never celebrated Halloween, however, I was often tasked to accompany my little sister who did. Back in those days there was an old man, about in his mid 60s, who normally rides around on a bike yelling bible verses, sometimes he rolls up near or in front shouting and yelling, and had cut up pieces of paper in squares that reads "Know God, Know The Son, Repent your sins John 17:3", which he hands out or puts in the pumpkin basket full of candy without hesitation.
As I got older, teenage years, I did the research and understood the old man clearly, sadly this old man is not alive today, but because of that verse it made me curious, being one of my favorite bible verses.
 
My sister outgrew Halloween around the age of 14 because of how more sadistic and grime some decorations have become, along with customs that are down right evil or provocative.

You son of a rebellious woman, do you think I do not know that you are choosing to side with the son of Jesse, to your own shame and to the shame of your mother?—1 Sam. 20:30.
Our loyalty to Jehovah may be challenged if someone in a responsible position misjudges us. Jonathan may have faced such a challenge. King Saul, the anointed of God, was aware of his sonÂ’s friendship with David, but he did not understand the reason for it. Saul humiliated Jonathan in an angry outburst. However, Jonathan did not retaliate. He did not waver in his loyalty to God or to David, who would in time become IsraelÂ’s king. (1 Sam. 20:31-41) In congregations of JehovahÂ’s people today, it is very unlikely that we would be treated unjustly. However, those taking the lead among us are imperfect men and could misinterpret our actions. (1 Sam. 1:13-17) If we are ever misjudged or misunderstood, let us remain loyal to Jehovah. w16.02 3:14, 15

We learned,  Sisters called as Brothers   What is wrong at a happy and importend  Baptism picture??  I never got such of really weird comments to that 
NOT COME AGAIN,  IT WAS ONLY A JOKE....  For Jehovah its NOT a joke !

Father Guido Sarducci once found a pope in a pizza.

The problem is this ... I visualize words as they come into my mind and try to integrate the picture to see if it is good art (truth) ... and it does not help AT ALL to, just before I go to lunch, to read about a "BAPTISM IN CHILE" . The same thing always bothered me about the "Care to join me in a cup of coffee?" ... as if we would both fit.
And don't get me started with "Don't Cry for me, Argentina!" from the play EVITA.

Thank you very much for your so detailed answer, dear Brother @Colin Browne Â 
When I have little time, I want answer you also detailed.  Its a very interesting area, where you are living !  Now I can better imagine, bec. your warm and cold weather...

East London is well named. Many street names or places are the same as in England, EG: Oxford, Cambridge, Braemar,  Berea. etc.  It has had that name for many centuries.
Pity that politics play a part in the expensive changing of city names. The local council is considering a new name. Possibly 'Buffalo City' which is the river in the picture above. The Municipality have already adopted that name. Imagine the expenses cartographers, (map makers) directories and confusion for tourists.
In any case, there are no longer any buffalo roaming in any nearby region for ages.

You once asked about the place where I live. Below is a picture copied from the free "GO" magazine this morning. East London is one of the few river ports in the world.
In the foreground "The Orient beach" can be seen. It's named after the wreck of the ship by that name. Parts of the wreck can be seen where the wave on the left breaks.

 

Perhaps it would be better to hide when they call and let them have their fun during their last few remaining years on earth. This is Satan’s world and these are his offspring. We could be endangering ourselves by challenging him with physical things. Acts 19:13-16. Some of these Halloween people may in later years accept the truth. We should oppose his attempts to anger us.  (James 4:7; Psalm 37:1. 2)
