Queen Esther got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in Daily text, Friday, November 18 2016
I do not know you.—Matt. 25:12.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/18
In the parable of the ten virgins, was Jesus saying that many of his anointed servants would prove unfaithful and need to be replaced? (Matt. 25:1-13) No. Remember, he had just warned his “faithful and discreet slave” never to turn into an evil slave. (Matt. 24:45-51) That did not mean that he expected such an outcome. Similarly, this parable conveys a powerful warning. Just as five virgins were foolish and five were discreet, each anointed one has the full capacity to choose either a course of preparedness and vigilance or a course of folly and unfaithfulness. The apostle Paul was inspired to make a similar point when addressing his anointed fellow Christians. (Heb. 6:4-9; compare Deuteronomy 30:19.) Note that Paul’s warning was very firm, but he followed it up with a loving expression of his confidence that “better things” lay ahead of his Christian brothers and sisters. Christ knows that each of his anointed servants can remain faithful and receive the thrilling reward! w15 3/15 2:13

Queen Esther got a reaction from Bible Speaks in HELP OUR BROTHERS FROM VENEZUELA - At this time, the only area of Christian brotherhood that continues to ask for help is Venezuela...
HELP OUR BROTHERS FROM VENEZUELA ❤
At this time, the only area of Christian brotherhood that continues to ask for help is Venezuela.
A month ago we did a campaign of help with medicines that the benefited brothers thank us, since they arrived all the sent packages.
Our organization can hardly help them since the government prevents humanitarian aid from any NGO, let alone Bethel from Venezuela. So we are not competing with the slave, but putting a grain of PERSONAL sand as an aid to ours, while the slave finds a way to reach them.
Although they still need specific medicines since no aspirins are found, they now send us a distress call for milk, even if it is powder, for their children and babies. They have nothing to give them and our sisters are desperate as mothers.
THEREFORE, anyone who wants to send a packet of MILK, or NON-PERISHABLE FOOD (eg chickpeas, beans, lentils, etc.) to ask for the address in private. According to experience, the packages arrive at their destination. ( I answer with name & page...)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

Yes, you are being - as you say, cantankerous - and somewhat picky. Please be careful of developing a complaining spirit. It starts with little things, does it not? Remember the account about the woman who put expensive perfume on Jesus? What was the reaction of some? Did they not complained about the woman 'wasting' the oil on Jesus rather than having it sold for 300 denarii for the poor (Mark 14:3-9)? Jesus said, "For you always have the poor with you, and you can do them good whenever you want to, but you will not always have me" (Mark 14:7).
Just as Jesus and the apostles used what was commonly familiar to both the rich and poor as teaching methods to adapt to their ministry, the Slave Class is using various means to educate all people about Jehovah, our King Jesus, and the incoming Kingdom; from the richest nations to the most remotest parts of the earth. Who knows? Maybe this is the first time these poor Bolivian children can actually visualize God's Kingdom in action and thus strengthen their eyes of faith as they look to the future where they will never be poor again.
And who's fault is it anyway that Bolivia is such a poor country? Bolivia's government is responsible for not providing their people with a sustainable economy, infrastructure, and access to clean water and plumbing essentials. Do you not see the need for a real Kingdom government that will end such poverty? Since man cannot provide these necessary things, Jehovah God certainly will (Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 55:11; 65:21-25). Because of their zealous preaching efforts, the 2000 Yearbook highlights that Bolivian publishers have grown from 714 to 15,388! Memorial attendance (1999) was 53,313! All because our humble pioneers and publishers "Stepped over to help" plant seeds of truth in Bolivia (Acts 16:9,10).
So let those children enjoy these cartoons they can identify with. Let them enjoy looking forward to the wonderful prospects of what's ahead, and if the Brothers and Sisters are using high tech gadgets to emphasize how real that Kingdom will be, then support them by praying that Jehovah continue to bless their efforts, and may He bless them for leaving the comforts of their wealthy environments to preach and teach the disadvantage so far away. May Jehovah bless their self-sacrificing, unselfish love for His Name.

Queen Esther reacted to Bible Speaks in “Send out your light and your truth."
“Send out your light and your truth. May these themselves lead me.” Psalm 43:3. JEHOVAH is very considerate in the way he makes his purposes known to his servants. Instead of revealing the truth all at once in one blinding flash of light, he enlightens us progressively. Our trek along life’s pathway might be compared to a walk that a hiker takes down a long trail. He starts out early in the morning and sees little. As the sun begins to rise slowly over the horizon, the hiker is able to distinguish a few features of his surroundings. The rest he sees in hazy outline. But as the sun continues its ascent, he can see farther and farther into the distance. So it is with the spiritual light that God provides. He allows us to discern a few things at a time. God’s Son, Jesus Christ, provided spiritual enlightenment in a similar manner. Let us learn how Jehovah enlightened his people in ancient times and how he does so today.

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery shop...
A LITTLE HUMOR.....
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery shop. As soon as they enter the bakery, Trump steals three pastries and puts them in his pocket. He says to Hillary: “See how clever I am? The owner didn’t even see anything, and I don’t even need to lie. I will definitely win the election.” Hillary says to Donald: “That’s the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same 3 pastries without stealing or lying, and also prove that I am much clever than you!” Hillary goes to the owner of the bakery and says: “Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick?” Intrigued, the owner accepts Hillary’s offer and gives her a pastry. Hillary swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives her another one. Then Hillary asks for a third pastry and eats that, too. By this time, the owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks:
“What did you do with the pastries?”
Hillary replies: “Look in Donald’s pocket !” ;-)

Queen Esther got a reaction from GINHAL in Daily text, Thursday, November 17. 2016
Be courageous and strong of heart. Yes, hope in Jehovah.—Ps. 27:14.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/17
We get courage by trusting in God and following the steps of his Son. (Ps. 28:7) During his ministry, Jesus showed courage in various ways. He boldly exposed the religious leaders for misleading the people with false teachings. (Matt. 23:13-36) He stood firm against the world’s contaminating influence. (John 16:33) He continued to preach despite pressure from opposers. (John 5:15-18; 7:14) Twice, he fearlessly cleansed the temple, driving out those who were defiling the worship there. (Matt. 21:12, 13; John 2:14-17) In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus fearlessly identified himself to the soldiers who came to arrest him. Although his own life was in danger, he spoke up to protect his disciples. (John 18:1-8) When questioned before the Sanhedrin, he boldly affirmed that he was both the Christ and the Son of God, even though he knew that the high priest was looking for an excuse to have him killed.—Mark 14:60-65. w15 2/15 2:3, 5, 6
