Jehovah - His wonderful creation honors his name.....
From the small Calibri who feeds his baby till a small frosh who carries his children to a better place to grow up, they all do exactly that what their creator has told them to do. Will we do so?

Queen Esther got a reaction from Martha Braun Amistadi in Russian Catholic official criticizes court ban on Jehovah's Witnesses
Russian Catholic official criticizes court ban on Jehovah's Witnesses....
By Jonathan Luxmoore, Catholic News Service, April 28, 2017
OXFORD, England – Russia's Catholic Church has condemned a Supreme Court decision to outlaw the Jehovah's Witnesses and warned the move will increase fears of new restrictions on Catholic rights.
"Churches like ours don't recognize the Jehovah's Witnesses as Christian and don't engage in dialogue with them, but we must distinguish theological issues from legal rights," said Msgr. Igor Kovalevsky, secretary-general of the Moscow-based Russian bishops' conference.
"The situation in Russia is complex and difficult now. There are very strong misgivings among Catholics that we, too, may be facing – if not persecution, then at least new acts of discrimination and limits on our freedom of belief," he said.
An April 20 Supreme Court ruling branded Jehovah's Witnesses an "extremist organization" and ordered the nationwide seizure of its property.
Msgr. Kovalevsky told Catholic News Service April 28 that the Catholic Church could not understand which activities could be deemed "extremist," adding that all religious groups had a right to "exist and develop in the Russian Federation" if they did not violate the law.
"The law must apply fairly to everyone ... the law may be hard, but it's still the law. I think the government owes everyone a precise explanation why this group is being liquidated," Msgr. Kovalevsky said.
Jehovah's Witnesses were registered in Russia in 1991 and re-registered in 1999, but have faced regular arrests and police raids for handing out leaflets and door-to-door preaching. Their members have been assaulted and their property vandalized.
The Supreme Court ruling prescribed fines of up to nearly $10,700 and up to 10 years in jail for anyone engaging in Jehovah's Witnesses activities.
Msgr. Kovalevsky said although there were no signs that the Catholic Church would be treated like the Jehovah's Witnesses, "the government needs to reassure citizens freedom of conscience will be upheld."
"The Jehovah's Witnesses have the same right to defend dignity and faith and other citizens," he said. "Although upholding human rights isn't our main task, the Catholic Church defends everyone's right to freedom of conscience."

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Texto Diario, Lunes 1 de mayo 2017
Se maravillaban de las palabras llenas de gracia que procedían de su boca (Luc. 4:22).
https://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/5/1
¿Cómo podemos seguir el ejemplo de Jesús? Hablando con amabilidad y tomando en cuenta los sentimientos de quienes nos escuchan. Al ver el esfuerzo que hacía la gente por escucharlo, Jesús sintió compasión y “comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas” (Mar. 6:34). Ni siquiera cuando sus enemigos lo insultaron respondió mal (1 Ped. 2:23). Hablar con amabilidad y tacto es especialmente difícil cuando estamos con alguien al que conocemos bien, ya que nos sentimos en la libertad de ser más francos. Puede tratarse de un familiar o de un amigo cercano de la congregación. ¿Pensó Jesús en algún momento que la amistad tan cercana que tenía con sus apóstoles le daba libertad para ser grosero con ellos? Al contrario. Aunque no dejaban de discutir sobre quién de ellos era el mayor, Jesús los corrigió con tacto y usó a un niño para enseñarles una poderosa lección (Mar. 9:33-37). Los ancianos en especial deben seguir su ejemplo y dar consejo con apacibilidad (Gál. 6:1). w15 15/12 3:15, 16

They... [were] amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth.—Luke 4:22.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/1
We can imitate Jesus’ gracious speech by being kind, courteous, and considerate of others’ feelings. Seeing the effort a crowd made to hear him speak, Jesus was moved with pity and “started to teach them many things.” (Mark 6:34) Even when he was being insulted, Jesus did not resort to harsh speech. (1 Pet. 2:23) Speaking with mildness and tact can be a challenge when our listener is someone whom we know very well. We might feel at liberty to be very frank. That can be true whether we speak with a family member or a close friend in the congregation. Did Jesus feel that his close relationship with his disciples granted him liberty to speak harshly to them? Not at all! When his closest followers continued to argue over who was greater, Jesus corrected them with kind words and an illustration of a young child. (Mark 9:33-37) Elders can imitate Jesus’ example by giving counsel “in a spirit of mildness.”—Gal. 6:1. w15 12/15 3:15, 16

18 “I am bearing witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll;"
19 and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things that are written about in this scroll." (Revelation 22:18,19)
Many religions and an increasing number of Bible translations fail to use and make known God’s personal name. (Psalm 83:18) Yet, in the original Hebrew text, that name—Jehovah—appears about 7,000 times! (Inconsistently, while removing the divine name, most Bible translators retain the names of the many false gods mentioned in the original text, such as Baal, Bel, Merodach, and even Satan!)
Some people feel that the omission of God’s name is a trivial matter. But think: Is it harder or easier to develop a close, enlightened relationship with a nameless person? Such titles as God and Lord (which are also used of false gods) might draw attention to Jehovah’s power, authority, or position, but only his personal name identifies him unequivocally. (Exodus 3:15; 1 Corinthians 8:5, 6)
The personal nameof the true God captures his qualities and characteristics. Theologian Walter Lowrie rightly stated: “A man who does not know God by name does not really know him as a person.”
The Hebrew Scriptures are consistently clear inshowing that there is but one Almighty God, the Creator of all things and the Most High, whose name is Jehovah. (Ge 17:1; Isa 45:18; Ps 83:18)
For that reason Moses could say to the nation of Israel: “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force.” (De 6:4, 5)
The Christian Greek Scriptures do not contradict this teaching that had been accepted and believed by God’s servants for thousands of years, but instead they support it. (Mr 12:29; Ro 3:29, 30; 1Co 8:6; Eph 4:4-6; 1Ti 2:5)
Jesus Christ himself said, “The Father is greater than I am” and referred to the Father as his God, “the only true God.” (Joh 14:28; 17:3; 20:17; Mr 15:34; Re 1:1; 3:12)
On numerous occasions Jesus expressed his inferiority and subordination to his Father. (Mt 4:9, 10; 20:23; Lu 22:41, 42; Joh 5:19; 8:42; 13:16)
Even after Jesus’ ascension into heaven his apostles continued to present the same picture.—1Co 11:3; 15:20, 24-28;1Pe 1:3; 1Jo 2:1; 4:9, 10.
Jesus’ prayer on behalf of the unity of all his disciples, including future ones, shows that the oneness, or union, between Jesus and his Father was not as to identity of person but as to purpose and action. In this way Jesus’ disciples could “all be one,” just as he and his Father are one.—Joh 17:20-23.

Queen Esther reacted to Micah Ong in One Of The Saddest Things Done In The Name of Religion - To Not Teach That God Had a Name?
Yes I agree too that we should worship the one and only true God. YHWY which means "I will become" was fulfilled as Jesus Christ the Messiah. We cannot demote Jesus and focus on YHWY which was the name that he had leading up to the fulfilment of his will; being manifest in the flesh to pay the ransom for mankind. Yes YHWH was used in the Hebrew scriptures but wasn't used in the Christian Greek Scriptures. God did this for a reason because Jesus was the sacred secret of God.
Jesus said at John 8:58 Jesus replied, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am.”
The Jews knew that YHWY appeared before Abraham and said "I Am." Therefore they knew he was saying he was God just as Isaiah 9:6 says. That's why they picked up stones to throw at him.
Jesus created and deserves worship
Revelation 14:7 “Fear God [with awe and reverence], and give Him glory [and honor and praise in worship], because the hour of His judgment has come; [with all your heart] worship Him who created the heaven and the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
Who created the Heavens and the Earth?
Colossians 1:16 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn(https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_216.cfm) of all creation. 16 For by him(Jesus) all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him(Jesus) and for him(Jesus). 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
We know this is talking about Jesus.
We can clearly see from the scriptures Jesus is the fulfilment of Jehovah. That's why Jehovah is not mentioned in the Christian Greek Scriptures. (Check JW Library app and search 'Jehovah' in the Kingdom Interlinear Bible)
Jesus is the name above every other name and the name to which all creation should worship Philippians 2:9,10
May God please open your minds and hearts to fully know him.
Acts 4:11,12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
^ This is a key scripture. Note: not by Jehovah's name
Jesus is equal to God
Phil 2:6-8 - see in JW Library app, when reading note, the word 'things' is in brackets which means it is added in there.
I have provided the links to the original Koine Greek as well.

The reason he said the Father was greater than he was is because at that moment he had emptied himself and became as a man. He also had limitations as that man. That is why he said 'no one knows the day or the hour except the Father.'
I'm sorry to say @Bible Speaks but 'Jehovah' is an addition to the scroll of Revelation as found in the New World Translation(16 times). No where is it found there! “I am bearing witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll;"
Please let God's word speak to you with the Holy Spirit and not in a biased way through a man made organisation.
Epheshians 3:16 I pray that he may grant you through the abundance of his glory to be made mighty in the man you are inside, with power through his spirit, 17 and that through your faith you may have the Christ dwell in your hearts with love. May you be rooted and established on the foundation, 18 in order that with all the holy ones you may be thoroughly able to comprehend fully what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of the Christ, which surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness that God gives.

Queen Esther reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Jehovah’s Witnesses former members tell court they were subjected to ‘total control’
Actually the answer is VERY simple ....Jehovah God made Adam and Eve and thought it was perfectly OK to walk around naked..... It was Adam and Eve deciding FOR THEMSELVES THAT THEY WERE NAKED ... and took upon themselves opinions and doctrines that Jehovah God NEVER even suggested. Had they not sinned by choosing THEIR standards over GOD'S standards, the logical extrapolation of that is that all their children would have walked around naked WITH them.
Being a taboo is NOT from God.... it is from self-made cultural taboos.
The list of them would fill up a large city telephone book ... if they make those, anymore.
It's morally wrong to try and enslave someone else to error .... and pathetically morally wrong to ENSLAVE OURSELVES!
That having been said ... and it is VERY true ... the last time I was in the hospital for four days, I refused to wear that silly open back gown, and wore Levis and a long sleeve shirt the whole time. ... you know ... in case Mars Attacks!
Adam and Eve chose for THEMSELVES what was "the knowledge of good and evil" and "cultural taboos were born, abandoning Jehovah's knowledge of good and evil ... which in this case, he cared NOTHING about.
Sorta like the current non-biblical shunning policy, the way it is currently practiced.
I will be civil and polite, and generous with ANYONE who is civil, polite, and generous to me ... but I am keeping the Levis.
