Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in DO YOU REMEMBER THESE OLD, RARE DIFFERENT BOOKS ?
Thanks very much for your answer-comment @butchsweet All the old books ? WOW... from your parents or your own ? Thats really rare, similar by Brother Colin. Little treasures you have at home, but some things not so actual /current. I mean the wrong knowledge to some Bible scriptures... But the WT. org made that all public, that was very good for us JW. We have to be honest in all things !
Greetings from Germany ???

I'm the only JW at this home among a mixture of other faiths. Some sisters regularly read to residents. The first was the entire 'Jesus the way, the truth, the life' book. Other ministers and priests also come to feed their flocks, but on different days. The book 'God's Kingdom Rules' paragraph 16 assures us that we will have everlasting security. All national barriers and passports will end.
Imagine how nice it will be to walk among wild animals and even sleep in the forests. (Eze. 34:25)

Yes, I do have a computer, and I'm still in the field ministry group. So, I only kept the more recent books, IE: Isaiah's prophecy, Pay attention to Daniel, God's word for us through Jeremiah, The Bible God's word or mans and the latest, Worship the only True God. I also have the 1973 Comprehensive Concordance which I consult almost daily.
It will be nice to know how many other of our spiritual family have the latter book.
The cover is dark red.

At a book sale a few years ago, I bought a book named "The 'Power and Glory' by Adam Nicholson 2002, its about the making of the King James version. (Authorised version) The notes were harvested from the remains of the great London fire. It's very interesting, and all references are quoted in the back pages. The era included the Guy Fawkes plot, the 1601 rebellion, and Milton who wrote Paradise lost and Paradise regained. James was no fool. All his bishops were in attention, and when the topic of baptism came up one bishop suggested that sand could be used if water was not available. James rebuked him saying that it would have been better had the chamber been emptied over him. The Puritans were also present but these hardly received a hearing. When one of these asked the king that the new bible rather be a Puritan bible, James said, "I'll give you the very opposite." It's history and it's all true. All the bishops were named. I no longer have the book.
By the way, flea markets often sell older copies of our books.

The problem with tablets and other electronic devices is they will eventually die without a power source. Books of course will get old and brittle with age, but it takes many years. No idea what books we will have in NW, but my goal is to be there to find out.
When some apostate or other opposed brings up some older publication I generally say that I am not interested in what they we believed in the past, but am interested in what we believe now. I am very thankful that Jehovah's Faithful Slave is willing to admit mistakes of the past and move forward.
Cheers my friends.

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Andrea Bocelli and Katharine Mcphee - The Prayer, Enjoy !
The spectacular one-night only concert by David Foster and his famous friends finds the songwriter and hit producer gathering together the best tracks from his bottomless well of hits and inviting some talented folks to come along and help perform them.
Not only are the songs magical, the performances are just as enchanting, including appearances from Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bubl‚, Josh Groban, Kenny G, Katharine McPhee, Celine Dion, Blake Shelton, Brian McKnight, and Charice. Spotlighting #1 hits, award-winning songs, and other favorites -- all but one originally penned and/ or produced by Foster ---

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Texto Diario, Miércoles 21 de junio 2017
El objetivo de este mandato es amor procedente de un corazón limpio y de una buena conciencia (1 Tim. 1:5).
Jehová creó a los seres humanos con la libertad de decidir por sí mismos. Además, les dio una herramienta que, bien usada, les ayudaría a tomar buenas decisiones: la conciencia. ¿Qué es la conciencia? Es una voz interna que nos ayuda a distinguir lo bueno de lo malo. Al dárnosla, Jehová nos ha demostrado que nos quiere y que desea lo mejor para nosotros. Todos los seres humanos tenemos una conciencia (Rom. 2:14, 15). Aunque la mayoría no la escucha y pasa por alto las normas de Dios, hay quienes prefieren hacer lo bueno y odian las cosas malas que pasan en el mundo. Su conciencia los detiene de actuar con maldad y crueldad. ¿Se imagina cómo estarían las cosas si nadie tuviera conciencia? No cabe duda de que le debemos mucho a Dios por habernos dado esta valiosa herramienta. w15 15/9 2:1, 2

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Daily text, Wednesday, June 21. 2017
The objective of this instruction is love out of a clean heart and out of a good conscience.—1 Tim. 1:5.
Jehovah God created humans with free will, that is, the liberty to choose between one option and another. God provided a valuable guide for the first man and woman and their future offspring—the conscience, an inner sense of right and wrong. Used properly, the conscience can help us to do good and to avoid wrongdoing. Our conscience thus is an evidence of God’s love for us and of his desire that humans be united in doing good. Today, humans still have the faculty of conscience. (Rom. 2:14, 15) Though many have strayed far from the Bible’s standards of conduct, we find that some individuals often do what is good and abhor what is bad. The conscience holds many individuals back from committing deeds of extreme wickedness. Imagine how much worse world conditions would be if no one had a conscience! How grateful we can be that God has provided humans with a conscience! w15 9/15 2:1, 2
