Queen Esther

A man prone to anger stirs up strife; anyone disposed to rage commits many transgressions.—Prov. 29:22.
The world abounds with people and societies motivated by a spirit of independence that fosters pride, egotism, and rivalry. Anyone who allows himself to be swept along by this spirit is, in effect, accepting Satan’s argument that it is the course of wisdom to pursue one’s own interests regardless of how doing so may affect others. (Gen. 3:1-5) Such a selfish course leads to strife. In contrast, Jesus taught people to seek peace, even if such a course would seem detrimental to their own interests. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave excellent advice about handling disagreements or potential conflicts. For instance, he urged his disciples to be mild-tempered, to be peacemakers, to eliminate causes for anger, to settle matters quickly, and to love their enemies.—Matt. 5:5, 9, 22, 25, 44. w16.05 1:4, 5

Make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.
Jesus described the scope of the preaching work by saying that the good news would be preached “in all the inhabited earth.” (Matt. 24:14) Disciples are to be made “of people of all the nations.” That entails a global work. To understand how Jehovah’s Witnesses have fulfilled Jesus’ prophecy with regard to the scope of the preaching work, let us consider some facts. There are approximately 600,000 members of the clergy in the various denominations in the United States, where there are some 1,200,000 Witnesses of Jehovah. Worldwide, the Roman Catholic Church has a little over 400,000 priests. Now consider the number of Witnesses involved in the Bible-based Kingdom-preaching work. Worldwide, some eight million volunteer ministers preach to people in 240 lands. What an amazing work is being accomplished, all to Jehovah’s praise and glory!—Ps. 34:1; 51:15. w16.05 2:13, 14

Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.—Rev. 2:7.
Jesus leads the Christian congregation by means of holy spirit. We need holy spirit to help us resist temptation, to embolden and equip us for the ministry, and to enable us to make sound decisions. Should we not take advantage of every provision—including congregation meetings—to receive that spirit? At many of our meetings, we review the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. As a result, we reinforce our conviction that Jehovah’s promises for the future will likewise be fulfilled. Of course, it is not just those who speak from the platform who encourage us. Fellow Christians who offer comments and sing from the heart also build us up. (1 Cor. 14:26) And when we converse with our brothers and sisters before and after the meetings, we feel a sense of belonging and enjoy true refreshment.—1 Cor. 16:17, 18. w16.04 3:6, 7

@Jack Ryan Clearly one must drink such in moderation.
There is a clear difference and drinking responsibility vs drinking to the point of being drunk, however, some drinks tend to send people overboard really fast, thus the one in question needs to control themselves and limit themselves so they do not succumb to drunkenness. At the same time should one become drunk, it will result in many problems, drunk driving, fighting and a slew of other things, even rape, which tends to happen a whole lot at gatherings involving young people and or on the college/university scene. Other times depression, drinking being the only way to cope, even a good man can succumb to strong drinking habits even though he is not the type of person to do such, this also goes for those with suicidal intent and or suffering from some sort of guilt and or action.
That being said, one needs to be very careful. I myself do not drink, I choose not to for various reasons, in addition to that, out of experience, I had seen quite the situation of drunkenness numerous times, even convinced someone to stop drinking to heavily.
 
Also just wanna put this out there: Friends don't let friends drive drunk

I  love nice  beards..  in  many  countries  allowed  by  JW  - GREAT !!   SOMETIMES  LONGER  OR  SHORTER....   Importend,  its  lookng  nice !  Our  young  anointed  Sinti  Brother  has  a  beautiful  small  beard !
Just  now  he  is  again  in  the  German  Bethel  with  his  pioneer - wife...  recording  the  next  especially  theocratic  songs...  a  wonderful  voice.  When  I  know   them,  I  will  post  for  us.
Thank  you  so  much  my  dear  Brother  Melano

THIS  LETTER  IS  ABOUT  BEARDS  -  FROM  16. April  2018
YOU  CAN  ZOOM  IT  BIGGER  ON  TABLET  -
OR  AT  YOUR  COMPUTER....   ENJOY !

Until we receive this direct from JW.ORG most would treat it as, "Hoping it will be allowed." I have a dear friend who is also a brother who has been wearing a beard for many years. His beard is so neat and short that it does not immediately attract attention. Our Governing Body is most likely aware that once it is allowed, some may go overboard, wearing anything from the common worldly masculine unshaven look to upturned waxed corners which would not appeal to any sincere Christian. Brothers who have skin problems would surely welcome being able to hide their condition until the skin condition improves.
Short and sweet:

Vice Versa:

Your  English  is  very  good....   and  bec.  is  the  shortcut  from  because,  thats  all,     We've  many  shortcuts  in  English  and  other  languages  to ~~~~  I  think  so...
PS.  We   NOT  use  the  word   *Aleluya!*   by  such  of coversations,  bec. its  a  praise  ONLY  for  Jehovah
Greetings  from  far  away  Germany,  Agape !

YES..... I  posted  that  already  more  times !   Found  still  some  other,  similar  baptismal  -  for  later....   I  love  these  baptismal  in  Africa  -  mostly  in  Tanzania,   wonderful 

BREAKING NEWS | Supreme Court of Canada Rules in Favor of Jehovah’s Witnesses

*The  Lifebag*.....
The sun slowly
Graded, it goes out,
Man is defective,
He can not win!
Death is "law"
For "sin,"
The man chooses,
"Being a clean man!
Death is law,
Hereditary!
Man understands,
How he wants to die!
Die in peace,
With His Father,
A friend does,
JAH God!
Then he goes out,
Go to Jehovah!
Satan defeats,
And the pagan world!
Then he defeats,
The state of sin,
And in death he gets hot,
With "ALL HIGH"!
Then he does not lose,
No day of life!
The green paradise,
He is waiting for him in front!
Then he defeats,
Death that takes him away!
With "JAH getting hot"
For "good days"!
He, from sleep, rises,
As a young gentleman,
Without any illness,
Like a towering tree!
"The Lifebag"
He's at the JAH in his hand,
The source of youth
Eternal fountain!
Your life is tight,
In a "bag"
The world is defeated,
You ... you're clever man!
To Jehovah, cry,
Do not be stupid!
Life wins you!
Put it in your sachet!
Jehovah is waiting for you:
"Open Sachet"!
Be, mind wise,
For Paradise !!

I will offer that one up as a burnt offering.—Judg. 11:31.
Jephthah had no other child; his daughter was his only hope for a descendant, someone to carry on his name and his inheritance in Israel. (Judg. 11:34) Nevertheless, Judges 11:35 concludes with Jephthah saying: “I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I am unable to turn back.” His faithfulness even at great personal cost brought him God’s approval and blessing. Would you have made the same choice? When we dedicated our lives to Jehovah, we vowed that we would do his will unreservedly. We knew that living up to that promise would require self-sacrifice. However, our willingness is especially put to the test when we are asked to do things that are not initially to our liking. When we make such sacrifices and serve God in a way that takes us out of our comfort zone, we prove ourselves faithful. The resulting blessings are always far greater than any sacrifices we may make, painful as they may be.—Mal. 3:10. w16.04 1:11, 14, 15

In 2015 the Russian Federation passed a law that said if the ECHR made any judgements that the Russian Federation did not like ... they could legally be ignored.
We are not talking about red dot Indians laying down in front of British Tanks, and the tanks stop.
If the India Indians had laid down in front of Nazi Tanks, they would have been ground into bloody meat scraps.
" ... Last hour
Strasbourg court request a order for Russia to return ownership of Jehovah's Witnesses ...".
The Strasbourg court has its nicey-nicey request ... and the Russkies have bayonets and machine guns !
... and millions and millions of dollars of valuable former WTB&TS Real Estate.
The WTB&TS confiscated all the Kingdom Halls on Earth from the local congregations who built and paid for them several years ago.
...... everything that goes around .... comes around.
Philosophical "Karma" is quite real.

She didn't ask me for the favor but I am sure many would like to help out with a $1 if they knew how. If I set it up... I wouldn't know where or how to send the money to her.

Will someone that knows Christine personally please set up a GoFundMe page for her and then place a link to it below? Thank you in advance

[Jehoshaphat] did what was right in Jehovah’s eyes.—2 Chron. 20:32.
Like his father, Asa, Jehoshaphat encouraged the people to search for Jehovah. He did so by organizing a teaching campaign that used “the book of Jehovah’s Law.” (2 Chron. 17:7-10) He even went to the territory of the northern kingdom of Israel, to the mountainous region of Ephraim, “to bring them back to Jehovah.” (2 Chron. 19:4) We can all have a share in the great teaching campaign that Jehovah is having done today. Is it your goal each month to teach the Word of God to others, trying to move their heart to serve God? By your extending yourself and with God’s blessing, you may be able to start a Bible study. Is that a goal that you pray about? Are you willing to accept this challenge, even giving up some of what is commonly viewed as free time? And just as Jehoshaphat went to the territory of Ephraim to help people return to true worship, we can reach out to those who have become inactive. w17.03 3:10, 11
