¡Mira! ¡La esclava de Jehová! Efectúese conmigo según tu declaración (Luc. 1:38).

María iba a concebir, dar a luz y criar al mismísimo Hijo de Dios. Cuando pensamos en el gran honor que recibió, es fácil olvidar que había muchas cosas que podían preocuparla. El ángel Gabriel le dijo que quedaría embarazada de manera milagrosa, sin tener relaciones con ningún hombre. Pero en ningún momento le ofreció ir a explicarles la situación a sus familiares y vecinos. ¿Qué pensarían al enterarse? De seguro a María también le preocupaba su prometido, José. ¿Cómo lo convencería de que no le había sido infiel? ¡Y vaya responsabilidad la de educar y cuidar al Hijo de Dios! No sabemos todo lo que pasó por la mente de la joven mientras Gabriel hablaba con ella. Lo que sí sabemos es que respondió con las palabras del texto de hoy (Luc. 1:26-37). w16.02 2:13, 14

Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it happen to me according to your declaration.—Luke 1:38.

Mary was to conceive, give birth to, and raise the only-begotten Son of God! It is easy to think only of Mary’s wonderful privilege and fail to consider some of the practical concerns that might have seemed daunting. God’s angel Gabriel told her that she would become pregnant miraculously—without having relations with a man. Gabriel did not offer to go to Mary’s family and neighbors to explain the cause of her pregnancy. What would they think? Mary must have been concerned about her fiancé, Joseph. How could she convince him that, although she was pregnant, she had remained faithful to him? Moreover, what a responsibility it would be to raise, care for, and train the only-begotten Son of the Most High! We cannot know all the concerns that may have raced through Mary’s mind when Gabriel spoke to her. However, we do know that she answered with the words of today’s text.—Luke 1:26-37. w16.02 2:13, 14

Thanks  for  your  detailed  comment  about  that  theme,  dear  sister  @Arauna 
Satan  is  using  all  tricks / traps  he  can....  we  must  be  very  careful  and  pay  attention  more  and  more !  Also  many  different  Islands  have  still  mystery  beliefs !   I  also  not  interested,  reading  too  much  about  that  -  only  in  our  literature.  Greetings  from  Germany ❤

In Africa, they put spells on each other or bury things at other peoples houses to bring bad spirits on them.  For example: a woman (Ana)  goes to the witch doctor to know why she has a problem (her husband does not love her any more or some other issue with her children).  The witch doctor may throw the bones and then say that it is Ana's neighbor who is jealous and she previously had buried something at Ana's  house to put her under a nasty spell. Ana will then go to the witch doctor to have the spell removed and then put a nasty spell back on her neighbor's children.   This turns into a never ending hate game of power and control - and the witch doctor gets rich. 
What is seriously sad about all of this is that people display all the satanic qualities of hate, jealousy, suspicion and murder and all kinds of other wicked qualities - stirred up by contact with the demons - who want to see us suffer and eventually blame the creator for it. It could be family members hating each other and all these things are done in secret.  The other person does not know you are secretly working against them or they are suspicious. These are all wicked qualities that come from being under control of satanic forces who get to control your thinking. 
Most of these people who practice these traditions have had contact with some form of Christianity but are still ignorant of the workings of satan (never been taught) or choose to ignore the warnings.  Imagine living your whole life under fear of a spell/ spells by different people.
Africa is seeing a great escalation of this as many of the ancient traditions are returning. People are rejecting the teachings of the bible. When I visited my son last year in December he told me that these evil practices are all some of the people talk about at work.  The local newspapers also shocked me as there are so many stories of sorcery and spells in the news.  Twenty five years ago this was not the case. 
It seems to me - in general - as if the mentality of society is deteriorating everywhere on earth.  Twenty five years ago logic and good reasoning kept people sane.  There were more good people who kept back the full power of Satan - but now- the influence of Satan is seen everywhere in the qualities people are displaying. As the time of the end gets closer the evil powers of satan are getting more open and prevalent - so it seems to me.  And it is reflected in the different societies in different ways of behavior. It is no surprise to me to see the number of people who are just randomly killing others in first world countries as well as third world countries - they are all in some form or other under influence of satanic religions or other satanic forces.
In the middle east most religions teach that you are not allowed to be a witch. Unfortunately there are so much other superstitions that this becomes a very good vehicle for satan to work with.  The insidious practices of suspicion, the evil eye, reading the future in coffee leaves and also the Islamic teaching of the "jinn" contribute to spiritism.  Read up about the jinn.  They are evil spirits with a will of their own and are around all people - this is what they believe.  Many exorcisms take place in islam and there are also some "sexual" encounters.  But I do not read too much about this because I do not really want to get into the dark evil things of satan.  It is just enough for me to know about it so I can recognize it when I encounter it - and I have in very unexpected places.
I was studying with a young woman for quite some time when I realized I had not done a good job because I realized that she still believed in the Jinn.  The Jinn are (according to them) made from fire so they are not the same as the evil spiritis we encounter in the bible.... well now I know better....look out for different kind of superstitions when you study with people!

LOOKING  THROUGH  the  1975  Yearbook......
We had 2,021,432 peak publishers, and the worldwide Memorial attendance was 4,550,457........
Today,  those  numbers  are  more  than  8 million  and  20 million !  We remember,  what  some  brothers  felt,  would  happen  in  1975....  can't  we  rejoice  and  be  thankful,  that  the  end  was  "not yet" ?   Let's  be  resolved  to  keep our  "plow in the ground"  and  keep  working,  until  Jehovah  tells  us,  our  work  is  finished !






EVERY  YEAR  WE  ARE  GROWING  MORE  AND  MORE.......

I know it's been said before, but, each year the Regional Conventions just keep on getting better than before. "That was the best ever!" has often been said by appreciative brothers and sisters after the conventions end. Without a doubt, we will be saying the same again after this upcoming series of sessions. So many spiritual riches are being given from our "Grand Instructor" (Isaiah 30:20) Jehovah! The Governing Body of brothers do great work in dispensing Jehovah's "banquet of rich dishes." (Isaiah 25:6)All of these reasons and more, explain why Jehovah's Witnesses are happy! (Isaiah 65:14)

Hast du dich schon für Jehova entschieden?

God put Abraham to the test.—Gen. 22:1.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/5
Picture an elderly man trudging up a mountainside. He is making what must be the hardest journey of his life. It is not his age that makes this trek so daunting. Abraham may be about 125 years old, but he is still vigorous. Following him is a younger man, perhaps 25 years of age. It is his son Isaac, who is carrying firewood. Abraham has a knife and the means to start a fire. Jehovah has asked him to sacrifice his own son! (Gen. 22:1-8) Abraham was facing what was likely the greatest test of his faith. Abraham did not obey God blindly. Instead, he obeyed because he could see. With eyes of genuine faith, he saw that his heavenly Father, Jehovah, never asks His faithful servants to do anything that will result in their lasting harm. Abraham knew that if he obeyed Jehovah, his God would bless him and his beloved son. On what was that faith based? On knowledge and experience. w16.02 1:3, 4

I really like this. Beautifully understated, unpretentious, focused on our mission to preach the good news and make disciples in all the nations.
