Smiling  sisters  preaching  in  Thailand....   in  a  very  funny  car !
I  would  like  to  be  with  them ;-)
 

We  need  to  laugh  daily...  hahaha  ;-) 

"The great day of Jehovah is near!
It is near and it is approaching very quickly!
The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter.
There a warrior cries out...
A day of storm and desolation."
(Zeph. 1:14,15.). “Take Refuge in the Name of Jehovah”
“I shall certainly let remain . . . a people humble and lowly, and they will actually take refuge in the name of Jehovah.”—ZEPH. 3:12.  A different type of storm is approaching—one that threatens the very existence of the human race. It is a figurative “day of storm.” This “great day of Jehovah” will affect all mankind. “Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” (Rom. 10:13) Physical salvation is promised for God’s people. Jehovah’s Witnesses honor and glorify the divine name. They sanctify it by using it in a dignified way. Jehovah takes pleasure in those who trust in him, and he becomes whatever is necessary to bless and protect his people. “He is cognizant of those seeking refuge in him.”—Nah. 1:7; Acts 15:14. JW.ORG

"But the one listening to me will dwell in security And be undisturbed by 
the dread of calamity.”
(Prob.1:33.) Avoid Anxiety and  Find True Peace  As this present system comes to its close, stress and demands on your time will no doubt increase. How important, therefore, that you strive to apply the Bible’s counsel: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Such peace is beyond the reach of anyone of a purely secular bent who sees no value in prayer.—Philippians 4:6, 7.
Yet, Jehovah will do even more than give you peace of mind. He will help you carry your load of responsibility every day if you “throw all your anxiety upon him.” (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 68:19) It is therefore wise to listen to God each day by reading a portion of his Word. Who could possibly give you better advice than your Creator? (Psalm 119:99, 100, 105) Yes, experience has shown that those who put God in the center of their life are greatly helped to cope joyfully in today’s hectic world.—Proverbs 1:33; 3:5, 6.

Yes,  and  so  many  Bible scriptures  for  Thursday !  A  Good  Night  from  Germany...

Be courageous and strong of heart. Yes, hope in Jehovah.—Ps. 27:14.

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

Hahaha! ???????

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 !”  ;-)
 

Great encouragement for the day 

Love this!!!

Thank you very much for working on my post with SO  many pictures,  Kurt !  Now its more easier looking  for  all  Members ;-)

Clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union.—Col. 3:14.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/16
Self-sacrificing, Christlike love is the mortar that binds the building blocks of a sturdy marital union. It makes the marriage unbreakable in the face of irritating personality flaws, daunting health challenges, distressing financial crises, and challenging in-law issues. True, it takes loving devotion, loyal commitment, and earnest effort to make a marriage succeed. Rather than abandoning the marriage when difficulties arise, marriage partners should be determined to make their relationship thrive—not just survive. Christian couples who are devoted to Jehovah and to each other are motivated by their love for God and for each other to resolve their difficulties, for “love never fails.” (1 Cor. 13:8; Matt. 19:5, 6; Heb. 13:4) Building a strong and happy marriage is particularly challenging in the “critical times” in which we live. (2 Tim. 3:1) But with Jehovah’s help, it is possible. w15 1/15 3:18-20
 

Spectacular, incredible, amazing...  rarely seen smoke rings at Mt Etna !
When Mount Etna erupted on April 11, 2013, it created amazing smoke rings !
Toroidal Vortices or Volcanic smoke rings are rare, but well-documented.

Clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union.—Col. 3:14.

Do not drink wine or other alcoholic beverages . . . when you come into the tent of meeting.—Lev. 10:9.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/14
Does that passage mean that we must not drink anything alcoholic before going to a Christian meeting? Think about these points: We are not under the Law. (Rom. 10:4) In some lands, our fellow believers use alcoholic beverages in moderation at meals before attending meetings. Four cups of wine were used at the Passover. When instituting the Memorial, Jesus had his apostles drink wine that represented his blood. (Matt. 26:27) The Bible condemns heavy drinking and drunkenness. (1 Cor. 6:10; 1 Tim. 3:8) And many Christians would feel impelled by their conscience to abstain completely from alcoholic beverages before engaging in any form of sacred service. However, circumstances vary from one country to another, and the important thing is for Christians to conduct themselves with holiness that pleases God.—Lev. 10:10. w14 11/15 3:18

Yes,  @Monique Suzanne Vortman,  you  and  some  others are right  and  I read it  too...   My pioneer girlfriend apologized by our  phone-call !   I now will be MORE careful what  I believe !  I'm  sorry  for  that  false  posting  and  of  course,  the  singer  is  *Joan Manuel Serrat*  ;-)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Manuel_Serrat
His  mother  was  a  JW  and  he  maybe  too  -  I  don't  know  exactly.  But  I  wanted  clear up  that  problem  here,  bec.  we've  to  be  honest !
If  the  posting  is  to  remove,  I  ask  the  Librarian,  he  has  to  decide. Agape !

Be patient.—Jas. 5:7.

We have to admit that we have no control over the spiritual growth of a Bible student. Modesty on our part will help us to avoid the temptation to pressure or force a student to get baptized. We do all we can to assist and support the person, but we humbly admit that ultimately the decision to make a dedication belongs to that person. Even though the seed we sow does not bear fruit, if we have done our best to help the student, we realize that this outcome is not a sign of unfaithfulness on our part. Jehovah allows the seed of truth to flourish only in a humble heart that is willing to make changes. (Matt. 13:23) So we should not judge the effectiveness of our ministry merely by the results. In Jehovah’s eyes the success of our ministry is not determined by the response of those whom we teach. Rather, he treasures our faithful efforts regardless of the results.—Luke 10:17-20; 1 Cor. 3:8. w14 12/15 2:6, 7

It is better to leave the information up so as to squash the false rumor for the next 1000 people.

Thanks so much. All visible now.

Brother  Eoin,  can you see now the many pictures ?  Kurt has worked on here and put  all  pictures together...  easier  for  looking !  I hope,  you have more success now ;-)

You should really remove this. it can get you into trouble. I would  be really angry if i was Julio Iglesias. look at Wikipedia about  his mother. (Died 2002) there are a lot of misunderstandings about this voice. It is a brother from Spain Who Already apologized for the commotion.

He is not Julio Iglesias, but an imitator. Somebody sent me this same song supposed to be sung by Joan Manuel Serrat... Nothing but rumours.
 
 

Julio Iglesias' mother died in 2002, long before that song was published.
