Queen Esther got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in *For 50 cents* - "Jehovah, I almost sold your name for 50 cents."
Maybe, thats also one of the tests, Jehovah makes with us before Armageddon ? Lets ask ourselves, how would handle our conscience with this 50 cent ?
What it means to be faithful
3 "was Moses. . . As a servant faithful "is to be read in Hebrews 3: 5. What did the faithfulness of the Prophet Moses show? In the making of the components and in the erection of the pen hut ", [Moses] went to do according to all that Jehovah had commanded him. He did likewise "(Exodus 40:16). Our loyalty to the worship of Jehovah is also demonstrated by obedient ministry. This also means that we remain loyal to Jehovah in difficult trials or hard trials. But not only the existence of great examinations is decisive. Jesus said, "He that is faithful in the least is faithful in many things, and whoever is unjust in the least is also unjust in many things" (Luke 16:10). We should therefore also be faithful in supposedly small things.

Queen Esther reacted to John Lindsay Barltrop in Thanks all dear Brothers & Sisters ❤ I heard by Meeting, we've 250,000 Trolly's WORLDWIDE, WOW! & more...
My thoughts are "intrepid traveller" (quite a misnomer I feel - there appears to be nothing intrepid at all about him - unless of course it is in the humorous sense - even then, he is not funny), ought to get a life, instead of casting aspersions against Jehovah and his people. Galatians 6:7 and 5:10(b) carry a warning for those who mock God and, of course, there is the warning example of Haman, who despised God's people in his day.........and there are many more scriptures that support what I have mentioned.
What he needs to realise is that we know that we are not perfect and we would be the first to admit, and some have seen how trusting Jehovah's people are and take advantage of that fact, an are adept in carrying out many forms of deceit, and others may have been led astray or seduced by their own immoral desires, just like Eve..........and she was perfect.......and that of course is the reason the world is in such a mess.

You are right Queen Esther..........here in "little old Adelaide (in a suburban area)" I was talking to one of the Brothers and his wife on the carts, outside a railway station and in the half an hour that I was there 29 pieces of literature were taken by passers-by......this was a little exceptional from the norm, but, it is very successful most days........but Thursday evenings has not been very productive...........possibly, because I have been on the carts then!!!!!
In the territory, it has been very productive...........in the last two and a half months I have picked up 50 return visits, so I certainly have seen that the fields are white for harvesting (re Congregation Bible Study).

Queen Esther got a reaction from Bible Speaks in Why Did Jesus Die? The Bible’s answer...
The Ransom—God’s Greatest Gift
Why Did Jesus Die?
The Bible’s answer...
Jesus died so that humans could have their sins forgiven and receive endless life. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 1:7) Jesus’ death also proved that a human can remain loyal to God even when faced with the severest of tests.—Hebrews 4:15.
Consider how the death of one man could accomplish so much.
Jesus died for “the forgiveness of our sins.”—Colossians 1:14.
The first human, Adam, was created perfect, without sin. However, he chose to disobey God. Adam’s disobedience, or sin, profoundly affected all his descendants. “Through the disobedience of the one man,” the Bible explains, “many were made sinners.”—Romans 5:19.
Jesus was also perfect, but he never sinned. Therefore, he could be “an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 2:2; footnote) Just as Adam’s disobedience contaminated the human family with sin, so Jesus’ death removed the stain of sin from all who exercise faith in him.
In a sense, Adam sold the human race into sin. Jesus, by willingly dying in our behalf, repurchased humankind as his own. As a result, “if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one.”—1 John 2:1.
Jesus died “so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.
Although Adam was created to live forever, his sin brought upon him the penalty of death. Through Adam, “sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Romans 5:12.
In contrast, Jesus’ death not only removed the blemish of sin but also canceled the death sentence for all who exercise faith in him. The Bible sums up matters this way: “Just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”—Romans 5:21.
Of course, humans today still have a limited life span. However, God promises that he will grant righteous humans everlasting life and resurrect the dead so that they too can benefit from Jesus’ sacrificial death.—Psalm 37:29; 1 Corinthians 15:22.
Jesus “became obedient to the point of death,” thus proving that a human could be faithful to God under any test or trial.—Philippians 2:8.
Despite having a perfect mind and body, Adam disobeyed God because he selfishly desired something that did not belong to him. (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:6) Later, God’s chief enemy, Satan, suggested that no human would unselfishly obey God, especially if his life were on the line. (Job 2:4) Yet, the perfect man Jesus obeyed God and remained loyal to him, even undergoing a disgraceful and painful death. (Hebrews 7:26) This completely settled the matter: A human can remain faithful to God under whatever test or trial may be brought upon him.

Queen Esther got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in MEMORIAL - Memorial of Jesus’ Death....
MEMORIAL
Memorial of Jesus’ Death....
We warmly invite you to attend the annual Memorial of Jesus’ death with us on Tuesday, April 11, 2017 A free Bible-based talk will explain how Jesus’ death can benefit you and your family.
Peace, Health, and Prosperity—Everyone’s Dream!
Centuries ago, a divinely inspired prophet foretold the time when man would be at peace with nature. Illness would be eliminated. Families would build their own houses, plant their own fields, and enjoy the fruits of their labors.—Isaiah 11:6-9; 35:5, 6; 65:21-23.
Jesus performed powerful works that showed on a small scale how such prophecies will become a global reality. His death was fundamental to the future elimination of every cause for sorrow. So important was Jesus’ death to the fulfillment of God’s purposes that Jesus commanded his disciples to commemorate it.—Luke 22:19, 20.
This year, according to the Bible’s lunar calendar, the anniversary of Jesus’ death falls on Tuesday, April 11. Jehovah’s Witnesses invite you to meet with them on that date to listen to an explanation of how his death can benefit you and your family.

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Texto Diario, Viernes 17 de marzo 2017
Felices son los de corazón puro, puesto que ellos verán a Dios (Mat. 5:8).
http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/3/17
¿Cómo podemos ver con más claridad la ayuda que nos da Jehová? Es probable que piense que la manera como encontró la verdad haya sido providencial. O quizás recuerde alguna ocasión en la que fue a la reunión, escuchó algo que se dijo y pensó: “¡Eso es justo lo que necesitaba!”. A lo mejor recibió respuesta a una de sus oraciones. O tal vez quiso ampliar su ministerio y le sorprendió ver cómo lo ayudó Jehová a cumplir con su meta. Puede que decidiera renunciar a su empleo porque estaba afectando su espiritualidad y vio que Jehová cumplió con la siguiente promesa: “De ningún modo te dejaré” (Heb. 13:5). Si estamos pendientes de lo que ocurre a nuestro alrededor y tenemos un “corazón puro”, veremos que Jehová nos ha ayudado de muchas maneras. ¿Cómo podemos ser “de corazón puro”? Manteniendo una mente limpia y evitando hacer cosas malas (2 Cor. 4:2). Para ver a Dios, debemos fortalecer nuestra relación con él. w15 15/10 1:17, 19

Queen Esther got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in Daily text, Friday, March 17. 2017
Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.—Matt. 5:8.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/17
How might we see Jehovah’s hand in our lives? Consider: Perhaps you feel that the way you received the truth was clearly at God’s direction. Have you ever attended Christian meetings, heard a part, and said: “That was just what I needed”? Or you may have experienced an answer to a prayer. Maybe you decided to expand your ministry and were amazed at how Jehovah helped to work things out for you. Or have you ever experienced leaving a job for spiritual reasons and then seen the truth of God’s promise: “I will never abandon you”? (Heb. 13:5) By being spiritually alert and “pure in heart,” we can discern how Jehovah has helped us in many ways. How can we be “pure in heart”? We must be clean on the inside and stop any wrong conduct. (2 Cor. 4:2) As we cultivate stronger spirituality and manifest upright conduct, we put ourselves among those who can see God. w15 10/15 1:17, 19

"But I am learning! ..."
I think that we are all learning, I do think that we will ever stop learning.......which is probably a good thing.........and as the WT Study, a couple of weeks ago, said that one of things we should have is a sense of humour, (remember the smiley face?).........my problem is sometimes my sense of humour is a little too "warped"...........particularly for those whose second language may English..........add to that I am Australian, and some Australian humour can be difficult for others to comprehend sometimes.

Queen Esther got a reaction from ARchiv@L in WILL YOU ACCEPT GOD’S GREATEST GIFT? A Gift Unlike Any Other...
WILL YOU ACCEPT GOD’S GREATEST GIFT ?
A Gift Unlike Any Other....
THE boat-shaped pencil sharpener in Jordan’s hand seems unremarkable. Yet, it is one of his most treasured possessions. Jordan explains, “Russell, an elderly family friend, gave it to me when I was very young.” After Russell’s death, Jordan learned that Russell had played a pivotal role in the lives of Jordan’s grandfather and parents, reassuring them during difficult times. “Now that I have learned more about Russell,” Jordan says, “this tiny gift is more valuable to me than ever.”
As Jordan’s experience illustrates, a gift may have little or no value in some people’s eyes. To the appreciative recipient, though, it may be precious, even priceless. The Bible describes a gift of incalculable worth in these well-known words: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.
A gift that can bring the receiver everlasting life! Can there be any gift of greater worth? While some may not recognize the value of that gift, true Christians esteem it as “precious.” (Psalm 49:8; 1 Peter 1:18, 19) Why, though, did God offer the life of his Son as a gift for the world?
The apostle Paul explains why in these words: “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men.” (Romans 5:12) The first man, Adam, sinned by knowingly disobeying God, and he thus suffered the penalty of death. Through Adam, death came upon all his descendants—the world of humankind.
“The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) To free mankind from the condemnation of death, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to sacrifice his perfect life for the world. On the basis of that sacrifice, known as “the ransom,” all who exercise faith in Jesus will have everlasting life.—Romans 3:24.
Regarding all the blessings that God extends to his worshippers through Jesus Christ, Paul declares: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable free gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15) Yes, the ransom is so marvelous that we are incapable of fully describing it. But among all of God’s gracious gifts to humankind, why is the ransom especially remarkable? In what way is it unlike any of God’s other gifts? * And how should we respond to it ? We invite you to read the Bible’s answers to those questions in the following two articles.
