Donald Trump the Republican candidate to the Presidential Election creates an event today in Tampa, Florida with a cute baby.
"Oh look, a future construction worker, a baby, so cute, give me that," Trump said, as he spotted a baby nearby.

But behind the smiles and photo opportunities, Trump's path to election victory remains narrow - in spite of a close race in national polling.
 

 

YES...  "It's  closer  than  you  both  will  think" !

I see exactly what you are saying Allensmith. But beards are ok. Brother Lett even mentioned that for a brother to wear a beard is a personal choice just as it is for a sister to wear makeup. This is newer information. And our sept 2016 watchtower addresses it as well. In the US it is custom for many to wear beards as is in most other countries and many brothers in the US have neatly trimmed beards it's a matter of time before a lot more also have them. It's a personal preference decision right now. And that's it.

A TEACHER  is teaching a large class. The teacher is doing the very best job possible in teaching the students all they need to know.
Suddenly, an unruly student in the back of the class stands up, and shouts to everyone in the class......
You are a liar, teacher! You have no right to be teaching this class at all. I know more about the subject than you do, and I can prove it to any fellow student who will listen to me!
What does the teacher do? Does the teacher just call the Principal and have the unruly student evicted immediately from the class, and then continue on, as if nothing had happened?  Think about it for a moment.....If the teacher chose that course of action, then the other students may never know for sure who was correct, and who was the liar, and could be convinced to follow the unruly student.
The teach chooses this solution to the problem....The teacher says to the unruly student: "OK, you come forward, and you teach the class for one week. At the end of the week, it will become quite clear to all onlookers who tells the truth, and who is the liar....  who has the right to teach this class,  and who does not have that right.
Here's the point of this little illustration..... This clearly illustrates exactly what happened in the Garden of Eden, between the serpant, Satan, and Adam and Eve.

The onlookers were the billions of angelic servants of Jehovah God.


The week mentioned for Satan and his demons is not quite over,  but today,  just a little time is left.
In the meantime, whose side do you choose to be on ?
The teacher....   or the unruly student ?

This is what Jehovah has commanded us to do.—Lev. 8:5.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/5
The requirement that Israel’s priesthood be physically clean has real meaning for Jehovah’s people today. (Lev. 8:6) Those with whom we study the Bible often notice that our places of worship are clean and also how neat and well-dressed we are. Yet, the cleanness of the priesthood helps us to realize that anyone who ascends the elevated mountain of Jehovah’s worship must have “a pure heart.” (Ps. 24:3, 4; Isa. 2:2, 3) Our sacred service to God must be rendered with cleansed minds and hearts as well as with clean bodies. This calls for frequent self-examination, after which some may need to make significant changes so that they can be holy. (2 Cor. 13:5) For instance, a baptized person who deliberately views pornography should ask himself, ‘Am I proving myself holy?’ Then he ought to get help to end that vile practice.—Jas. 5:14. w14 11/15 2:3, 6

Hahaha....  I  knew  it,  I  knew  it  ;-))    My  post  about  that  was  OK...
Thank  you, dear  Librarian !  I  believe,  we  still  get  more & more new light !

Just I read, a friend wrote under my pic, *this bus gets driven by brother Joel Ton from The Netherlands*...

I know a brother in Europe, who is an elder and has a beard. And I know several brothers who are serving as ministerial Servants and have beards.
Ultimately in the USA it will be up to the local elders to decide whether a beard is acceptable in their area or not. When the WT came out last May, our CO said that come end of the year, he expects many brothers (in the US) will be sporting a beard.  I am fine with that, as long as as sisters don't start that trend too

I agree with all of your statements djsqueeze. I think that beards are like any other forms of fashion. Some brothers like a beard some don't. Just like some brothers don't wear pink shirts. Or some don't like bowties. Or certain people don't like certain haircuts. It's all opinion based. It's not necessarily something that is bringing reproach upon jehovahs name or detracting from our message. But so many are set in their ways about beards I think it'll be hard for them to accept it. I'm in Ohio and already 3 brothers here wear a beard but brothers do not like it. And won't let them do anything or give part on school. So I guess time will tell.

Luis Vernaza hospital procedure was performed Jehovah's Witness
Karina Silvera / Guayaquil /   October 29, 2016
Kidney transplantation without blood transfusion or plasma !  Health.  *Patty Mujica*  must spend at least seven days under observation. (Courtesy)
Like a new person. So Patty feels Villamar Mujica after receiving a new kidney, which had been suffering for thirteen years.
It was a long time "tied to a machine," says the woman, who received hemodialysis for a few years, then moved to sessions with sera and in 2011 began the process to join a waiting list for a donor organ. At that time felt faint, he says.
Until the call came informing him that had the kidney she needed. "I could not believe it. He had already lost hope, but the Lord said, 'Wait a minute,' "he says.
The process was conducted at the Luis Vernaza hospital, and this intervention amounted to 120 the number of such transplants that are done in the hospital for six years.
It was a satisfactory complex procedure, but with a particularity: it is the first time a procedure is performed without administering blood, plasma or platelets. This is due to the creed of the patient.
Mujica profess the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses and their beliefs do not allow them to receive any blood transfusion, so the surgical procedure could not rely on it.
Complex, but not impossible. Mosquera Noralma Vivas, team leader kidney transplant health of this house indicates that you do not need a transfusion during surgery. "Only we do when the patient is out of kilter".
For this particular case was ready the cell-saver (cell saver) machine that retrieves the patient's blood during the operation and returns to the body.
This case was one of the three procedures were carried out this week in the operation of organ transplants from cadavers, two kidney and one liver, in the latter part the medical group by Jose Zuniga, head of the team of liver transplant Luis Vernaza.
*GET  WELL  SOON*  Sister Patty Mujica❤  May Jehovah bless you !

The measuring stick on all aspects of dress and grooming as always been - how are brothers and sisters are portrayed in the societies literature - who get used at the assemblies and conventions for parts on the platform and other privileges
Now i have been in the truth 35 years and as of yet i have never seen a modern day brother with beard portrayed in those areas of service - maybe one day we will but until that happens there will always be ones who feel beards are unacceptable and i would encourage any one who wants such privileges to think carefully about the choices they make and maybe they will play apart in altering peoples feelings on this issue in their own congregation and i hope that does not sound patronizing

That's great. I have a few friends that I made at an international convention from Germany. And Poland. Not sure of the exact area. Yes it varies from congregation to congregation. It's nice to meet you. Maybe I should move to Germany Haha. But not sure that my wife would leave her family. We go to the congregation she grew up in and it is all family here.
