Queen Esther

When we were enemies we became reconciled to God through the death of his Son.—Rom. 5:10.
This reconciliation enables us to be at peace with Jehovah. Paul links this privilege to Jehovah’s undeserved kindness, stating: “Now that we [Christ’s anointed brothers] have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained access by faith into this undeserved kindness in which we now stand.” (Rom. 5:1, 2) What a blessing this is! All of us are unrighteous by nature. But the prophet Daniel foretold that during the time of the end, “those having insight,” the anointed remnant, would be “bringing the many to righteousness.” (Dan. 12:3) By their preaching and teaching work, they have brought millions of “other sheep” into a righteous standing before Jehovah. (John 10:16) However, this has been possible only through Jehovah’s undeserved kindness.—Rom. 3:23, 24. w16.07 3:10, 11

All these other things will be added to you.—Matt. 6:33.
Why could Jesus say the above? He explained in the preceding verse: “Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things,” meaning the necessities of life. Jehovah can easily anticipate our individual needs regarding food, clothing, and shelter, even before we become aware of them. (Phil. 4:19) He knows which piece of our clothing will wear out next. He knows what our dietary requirements are and what would be adequate shelter for us, given the size of our family. Jehovah will see to it that we have what we really need. Yes, we can be ever confident that if we do what we are supposed to do—give spiritual interests priority in our life—Jehovah will not hold back what is good from us. Our “godly devotion” should prompt us to be content with “food and clothing,” or “sustenance and shelter.”—1 Tim. 6:6-8; ftn. w16.07 1:17, 18

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Scripturally Based Position on Child Protection
 

Why is Vladimir Putin's Russia so afraid of Jehovah's Witnesses?
Russia, with a population of more than 150 million, has a total of 117,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, a Jehovah's Witness for 850 people.
On Monday, July 17, 2017, the Supreme Court of Russia rejected an appeal for a previous mistake that stripped Jehovah's Witnesses as an extremist group
As a last resort, Jehovah's Witnesses intend to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. But from now on, the meetings and proclamation of Jehovah's Witnesses are criminal offenses in Russia. The Russian government also has legal authority to liquidate all property of Jehovah's Witnesses as an organization.
Her biblical interpretations and her work work certainly have criticism. But it is the political neutrality of the group that has raised more suspicion.
They do not vote, they do not serve in the army or greet the flag.
Jehovah's Witnesses have no political connections and renounce violence. However, they are an easy target for governments looking for internal enemies as they refuse to submit to the symbols of the government. Many nationalists call them "enemies of the state".
As a result, they have been persecuted in history many times throughout the world.
The Russian Supreme Court claims that the country needs protection against unfair religious fanatics.
But given his commitment to God over all things, Jehovah's Witnesses see themselves as persecuted by those who value the country's loyalty beyond any other principle. They also believe that the Russian government has "trampled on the guarantees of its own laws."
On April 20, the day the Supreme Court of Russia denied him, Adolf Hitler's birthday is over.

Billions of rubles of the Jehovah's Witnesses fell into the hands of the Kremlin. Legally
ARTICLE OF THE NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE. The translation is not perfect, but you can understand most of it.
_______________________________
Jehovah's Witnesses "(banned in the Russian organization - Ed ..) In Russia recently made a list of extremist organizations, which are present, for example," Al-Qaeda "and LIH (both organizations banned in Russia - Ed ..) The followers of this religious tendency, which the Bible prohibits killing, looked with amazement at the way the Kremlin takes their property.The other day, the Municipal Court of Saint Petersburg admitted that this procedure was legal.
The cost of the property confiscated only in St. Petersburg can exceed $ 13.9 million, that is, several billion rubles. City Court confirmed the judgment of first instance, which at the end of last year ruled that the 16 properties (land and buildings) in the elite neighborhood, which belonged to "Watchtower Society" (another name of the organization "Jehovah's Witnesses", prohibited in Russia - ed. Ed.), It will be transferred to state property, specifies the radio station "Ekho Moskvy".
Judgment: Jehovah's Witnesses are extremists
Not on the road with the state
In an interview with The New York Times, Sivak said that, because of his faith, he lost his job (he was a physical education teacher). It is curious that before joining the Witnesses, in 2000 he voted for Putin and then did not participate in any opposition activity, although he stopped going to the polls. "I do not do politics at all," he emphasized.
"Jehovah's Witnesses exist parallel to the state," explains Geraldine Fagan, author of the book Faith in Russia: a religious policy after communism. "They do not interfere in politics, which in itself seems suspicious," he says in a conversation with The New York Times. As the Russian unit is subordinated to American structures, and its members adopt such a cautious stance, it is more difficult for the Russian Orthodox Church and special services to monitor them. However, around the "Witnesses" there are several rumors that inflame the imagination of the authorities and the FSB.
In the course of last year's Sivak trial, the prosecutor put it this way: "They show disrespect to the state, destroy public ties and undermine the foundations of national and state security." As a result, Sivak and another convicted member of the "Witnesses" were acquitted, however, it later turned out that they had not been removed from the list of terrorists. It was also clear that the Ministry of Justice has been following Jehovah's Witnesses for many years and believes they are violating the law to counter extremism. As a result, all movement structures, including 400 communities, which linked approximately 175,000 followers, were ordered to suspend their activities. The decisions of the authorities received propaganda support, while the Russians joined in the prosecution of the Witnesses. All this reminds us of the times of Stalin, when the members of the movement were sent to Siberia. They say that now communities across Russia are under pressure and that their property is being stolen. The courts can not help you in any way.
Why does Putin persecute Jehovah's Witnesses?
Although "Witnesses" often cause irritation among Russians for going to preach at home, it is difficult to accuse them of inciting the riot. The followers of this movement do not drink alcohol, do not smoke and do not accept the bloodshed to such an extent that they even reject blood transfusions. Social "passivity" makes them an easy target. "They can be used to give a signal to society," says Alexander Verkhovsky, director of the Sova Analytical Center, which studies extremism in Russia.
The message says: "everyone should support Putin." Anyone who refuses to do so is a saboteur who prevents Russia from getting out of the knee, and any violation of the rules set by the authorities falls under anti-terrorist legislation. Until recently, the concept of "extremism" in Russian legislation was closely related to the use of violence, but they have changed so that the article was found in every is practically any "unfair" disloyal person.
The foreign organization of the Russian Federation took the complex to the price of 880 million: it was used by the Jehovah's Witnesses updated: 04-05-2018 (13:19)
St. Petersburg City Court on May 3 confirmed the decision of the District Court, according to which a complex of 14 buildings at the expense of more than 880 million rubles is withdrawn in favor of the state, said the center "Sova" list mail, received Kasparov.Ru.
The decision was taken Sestroretsk District Court December 7, 2017 at the request of the prosecutor's office of the Resort District of St. Petersburg and the territorial administration of the Federal Property Agency, "the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania . "
The complex of 33 thousand square meters in the village of Solnechnoye foreign religious organization owned since 2000. This is an old camp of pioneers, purchased by the Company of one of the Russian companies, by which the organization paid all taxes owed to its due time during these years.
Since 2000, the management center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, which was not the owner of the property, has enjoyed the complex. The court considered the 2000 agreement null and void. The Management Center was declared an extremist in April 2017 and liquidated together with its 360 local organizations with the confiscation of property.
Keep in mind that this is the second great wave of persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses by the state. On April 1 and 2, 1951, a "North" operation was carried out for the mass relocation to Siberia of supporters of the Jehovah's Witness organization and their families.
In total, more than 8.5 thousand people were evicted (more than 3 thousand families). The property of the evicted was confiscated and applied to cover the costs of state obligations. Evicted people were given two hours to collect and 150 kg of things per family. Only in 1965, restrictions on the special solution were lifted and released from administrative supervision, the participants of "sects" -. Jehovah's Witnesses, True Orthodox Christians, Adventist-Reformist Innochentism and Their Families "Decree, paragraph 2, states that" the lifting of restrictions on a special settlement for such persons does not entail the return of confiscated property after the eviction "
And the presumption of innocence? These are empty words in Russia. Sivaku himself had to prove that he was not an extremist, but a citizen respectful of the law. "They call me a terrorist, but I just wanted people to pay close attention to the words of the Bible," he explained.

You must love your neighbor as yourself.—Matt. 22:39.
We are all born imperfect. (Rom. 5:12, 19) So at times some in the congregation may hurt us by what they say or do. This can test our love for Jehovah and for his people. What will we do on such occasions? For example, High Priest Eli had two sons who did not uphold Jehovah’s laws. We read: “The sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for Jehovah.” (1 Sam. 2:12) Though their father played a key role in promoting true worship, his two sons committed very serious sins. Eli knew about this and should have disciplined them, but he was lax in that regard. As a result, God adversely judged the household of Eli. (1 Sam. 3:10-14) In time, his descendants would not be allowed to serve as high priests. Had you lived in Eli’s day, how would you have reacted to Eli’s toleration of the sins committed by his sons? Would you have let it stumble you to the point that you would no longer serve God? w16.06 4:5, 6

Sexual abuse of children... Â Â Â Â  MORE:  https://www.jw.org/en/search/?q=sexual++abuse++of++children
The organization today released its internal online agreement.
The position based on the writings of Jehovah's Witnesses on the protection of the child.
This document is available to members of the community and it is a living document. In short, questions should never be seen or denied badly.
Reference: dates from 1983 to show the extension of our education to prevention, not to respond to the sexual abuse of children. The best protection is prevention.
The authority of the state punishes the crimes,  not us.
Abuse of children is a crime.
The verification of membership is strictly religious, not a matter of the state.
We decide who Jehovah's Witnesses may or may not be,  not the state.
Parents / tutors are solely responsible for the safety of their own child,  not the organization.
The parents are responsible for their children. I mean, who else should it be?  If a child is arrested for theft, who does he contact?  The old or the parents?  The law is responsible for the parents. Jehovah does that too.
You can not stress enough. Education starts at home The prevention of child labor starts at home. When parents do their work as parents, the abuse can be kept to a minimum.
We do not isolate the parents' children for every activity.
The elderly must be kind to the abuse of the victims.
The elderly are contacting the branch to ensure compliance with child abuse reporting laws.
Even if the elderly do not have the legal obligation to provide information, the oldest instructions have to report if a child is at risk. That's a good point. This shows that the older ones do not have the instruction to simply call the branch and leave it that way if they are not binding reporters. In other words, older people need to go beyond their legal obligations when the situation requires it. Therefore, older people should look after the child and their personal well-being. We are a family. We are not in trade relations between us.
Older people should never punish police and inform parents and victims of their right to report.
Reports to the police can even be encouraged for certain reasons. At any time during the examination of the elders, the victim can call the police and have them examined. You are not dependent on the other one. One has nothing to do with the other.
Mental health is never discouraged. Older people do not protect the known authors of sexual abuse of children.
Jehovah's Witnesses have educated people to protect their children for decades. We care about the protection of children when the world generally ignores the problem or does not understand its scope.

Lieber Peter, mir geht es ähnlich schlecht.... der Körper gibt unschöne Signale   Wenn man nichts unternimmt, wird es nicht besser. Ich hoffe, wir leben noch etwas...
Und ich hoffe sehr, es ist nichts Ernstes mit Dir?!!
Ich denke oft an Dich, mit einem schlechten Gewissen ;-(  Ein gutes Zeichen?  So oft wollte ich Dir schreiben....  fühle mich Deiner wertvollen, wirklich schönen Gedichte, einfach nicht gewachsen, so glaube ich.  Das hielt mich wohl vom Schreiben ab...
Aber die Zeit rennt so schnell dahin >>>>>>  erschreckend !
Spürte längst Deine Sehnsucht nach einer Antwort, wenigstens einige Zeilen....    Es sollen mehr Zeilen werden, besser per email u.privat.  Oder mal ein Tel.Gespräch?
Ich muß mir mehr Mühe geben, solange noch Zeit ist ! 
Für heute ganz liebe Grüße aus dem z.Zt. warmen Stade??? 
D. A.???
( freue mich aber auch auf Deine Zeilen !)  Danke 
 
 

Dear Esther Queen, es ging/geht mir extrem heavy. Miserabler CT Befund. Mit Paradiese Train habe ich in ein Wespennest meiner Kreativität gestochen. Jetzt muß ich die entstandene  Novelle (Der Bahnhof) wieder zusammenkürzen, damit nur der Inhalt des ursprünglichen Gedichts übrigbleibt.
Liebe Grüße
Peter
PS: ich kann mit dieser neuen Aufmachung und deren Inhalte noch nicht wirklich etwas anfangen. Bin froh Dich gefunden zu haben.
