Is Unfailing Love Possible?

Your expressions of affection are better than wine.—Song of Sol. 1:2.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/31
Expressions of affection between marriage mates have a positive effect. King Solomon offered to make for the Shulammite girl “gold ornaments studded with silver.” He showered her with praise, saying that she was “as beautiful as the full moon, as pure as the sunlight.” (Song of Sol. 1:9-11; 6:10) But the young woman remained loyal to her beloved shepherd. What strengthened and comforted her during their separation? She tells us. It was the memory of the shepherd’s “expressions of affection.” For her, they proved to be “better than wine” that makes the heart rejoice, and his name was as soothing as “fragrant oil poured out” on the head. (Song of Sol. 1:3, 4; Ps. 23:5; 104:15) Yes, the pleasant memory of love that has been expressed can enhance the enduring quality of love. How important it is that marriage mates express their affection for each other often! w15 1/15 5:10

A glass of Milk, paid in Full...
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.
He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”
He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.”
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year’s later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words:

“Paid in full with one glass of milk."
"Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.”

So,  our  heavenly  Father  is.   We  can  read  in  Hebrews...
(Hebr. 6 : 10 ) 10 For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.
(  its  a  story  -  can  bring  tears  in  your  eyes... ;o)

REFLECTION ON OUR GOVERNING BODY
Those who served many years in the organization of the new world, look carefully every day to our faithful and discreet slave, because all the prophecies revolve around them and live with them.
At one time, we understood a profound change of discernment, which was sufficient a ruler of a few men anointed to administer the land part of our organization body, because the more weight it currently supports Jesus Christ and his Kingdom centenary.
Now, reflect on something remarkable.
The governing body, by a simple natural rule, growing old since his appointment in 1919. The aging of its components, such physical maturity transferred to the group. Inexorably, the governing body would have been consumed in death if not reached before the end of the system.
COULD NOT Jehova rejuvenate its components, as it has done with any human being. Paul well he understood by saying (Romans 7:24) Miserable man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body undergoing this death?
But in the infinite wisdom of Jehovah, he extended the life of the governing body as a whole, its faithful and discreet slave.
As it did?
Since 1994, Jehovah has been giving life and youth to this governing body, by bringing in new members, as was the brother Gerrit Lösch. Then, in 1999, Samuel F. Herd, M. Stephen Lett, Guy H. Pierce, and David H. Splane. Later in 2005, Geoffrey Jackson and Anthony Morris. Finally the youngest member, Brother Mark Sanderson was incorporated.
Who can deny that Jehovah has extended the life of the faithful and discreet slave incorporating youth, to give the food at the right time, in extreme times next?
In 2010, two of the oldest members of the governing body died...  the brothers Ted Jaracz and later John Barr. Observe what was announced at Bethel, the morning of the death of Brother John Barr:
"We are saddened to report that we have heard this morning early in the morning service, Brother John E. Barr, the oldest of the Governing Council living member has completed his earthly course, last Saturday. In the last weeks before his death, when his health had deteriorated a little, he must have felt that the end of his life was approaching. he wrote an emotional letter of thanks to the people who work under him in the Department of Writing and Writing press transmitted to us by two other members of the Governing Body who went to visit him during his illness.
His death is a way represents a generational change from the Governing Body. Brother Barr was the last living member of the Governing Body directly associated with events taking place early in the "Lord's day" (Revelation 1:10) Other members of the Governing Body who still serve usually constitute a "Overlapping generation" Christ's brothers. As with the passage of the theocratic responsibilities of Moses to Joshua or Elijah to Elisha, fully anticipate moving forward undeterred and endlessly and acceleration of theocratic developments in these last moments of the last days and the system of things is very observable in agony.
While there is no doubt that those of us who knew and loved Brother Barr, as one 'of those who say: "Write: Happy they are the dead who die in union with [the] Lord from this time forward. Yes, he says the spirit, rest from their labors, for the things they did go along with them. " (Revelation 14:13), unquote
Right, there was a generational change in 2010, as there was Moses to Joshua Elias or Elisha. Both Joshua and Elisha continued the same work.
So there was also an OVERLAP in the governing body.
As shown in the graph recently used in the congregation book study, there is an overlap of the most aged men with the younger ones in the governing body or faithful and discreet slave.
CONCLUSION ON THIS REFLECTION:
Since the last knowledge received on the last presence of the faithful and discreet slave on the planet, he tells us not to stay not one member before the outbreak of the war of Armageddon, and since this generation shall not pass, it is time for there is an additional rejuvenation of the governing body?
BEWARE BROTHERS....

I love such of wonderful ideas ;-)  Looking always so real !  Of sure a difficult work.

THE  LITTLE  BLIND  GIRL....
A blind little girl sat on the steps of a building
with a hat by her feet, and a doll in her hands.
She held up a sign which say: "I am blind, please
help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A
man was walking by. He took a few coins from
his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He
then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote
some words. Soon, the hat began to fill up. A lot
more people were giving money to the blind girl.
That afternoon the man who had changed the
sign came to see how things were. The girl
recognised his footsteps and asked, "Were you the
one who changed my sign this morning? What did
you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the TRUTH."
I said what you said but in a different way.'
I wrote: Today is a beautiful day; but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the girl was blind. But
the first sign simply said the girl was blind. The
second sign reminded people how fortunate they
were to have their sight. - Should we be surprised
that the second sign was more effective?  Yes!
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative.
Be innovative.
Think differently and positively.
If Satan remind you of your past, you too remind
him of his future.—Rev. 20:1—3,10.
When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show
life that you have uncountable reasons to smile.—
Isaiah 65:17—25.
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.—Rom. 10:13)
Keep the faith and drop the fear because escaping
does not solve the problem.
Been remembered that faith is not about
everything turning out okay. Faith is about being
okay no matter how things turn out.
It's a beautiful thing to see a person smiling. But
even more beautiful if you are the reason for the SMILE  ;o)
 
 

Now You Are God’s People

So it will be in the conclusion of the system of things.—Matt. 13:40.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/30
“The conclusion of the system of things” began in 1914. During the war that broke out that year, the few thousand anointed Christians, “the sons of the Kingdom,” were in spiritual captivity to Babylon the Great. (Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43) In 1919, Jehovah delivered them, making a clear distinction between them and “the weeds,” or imitation Christians. He gathered “the sons of the Kingdom” into an organized people, in fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. (Isa. 66:8) Zion, Jehovah’s organization of spirit beings, brought forth her spirit-anointed sons and organized them into a nation. Just like the early Christians, the anointed “sons of the Kingdom” were to be witnesses of Jehovah. (Isa. 43:1, 10, 11) As such, they would stand out as different by their Christian conduct and by their preaching “this good news of the Kingdom . . . for a witness to all the nations.”—Matt. 24:14; Phil. 2:15. w14 11/15 5:11, 12

HIDDEN FACE OF HALLOWEEN......
Since this holiday is about it is good to remember why not celebrate true Christians and what is its origin.
Does Halloween is celebrated in your country? It is true that this party is known especially in the United States and Canada, where it is celebrated on October 31. However, the customs of Halloween can be found in similar festivals in other parts of the world. They may have another name, but basically deal with the same subject: the world of spirits, the dead, fairies, witches, even the devil and demons.
WHERE HE CAME FROM?
The origin of some customs and symbols of Halloween
Vampires, Werewolves WITCHES AND ZOMBIES: These creatures have always been associated with evil spirits.
SWEETS: The ancient Celts sought to appease evil spirits with sweets. Later, the Church encouraged people to go from house to house on the eve of All Saints and asking for food in return for a prayer for the dead. Hence the habit of asking for candy on Halloween.
COSTUMES: The ancient Celts used hideous masks so that evil spirits believed that they were also spirits and left alone. Gradually, the Church mixed pagan customs with the celebration of the Dead and Day of All Saints. Later, people started going from house to house dressed as saints, angels and demons.
PUMPKINS: Formerly turnips were hollowed and placed a candle to frighten evil spirits. There were those who believed that the candle represented a soul trapped in purgatory. Over time, turnips were replaced by pumpkins.
Halloween party is a celebration unbiblical. The Bible itself warns us: "No one among you who practices divination, witchcraft or sorcery; or casts spells, or spiritualist medium who consults the dead "(Deuteronomy 18:10, 11, Leviticus 19:31; Galatians 5: 19-21).

[Teach] them to observe all the things I have commanded you.—Matt. 28:20.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/29
Does the commission to preach really apply to those who are not anointed with holy spirit? Yes. Jesus instructed all his disciples to preach. After he was resurrected, Jesus told his followers to make disciples, teaching them to observe “all the things” he had commanded. Included among those commands was the commission to preach. (Matt. 28:19) Therefore, all disciples of Christ are to preach, whether their hope is to rule in heaven or to live on earth. (Acts 10:42) Also, the book of Revelation indicates that the preaching work would be done both by the anointed and by others. In the vision recorded in chapter 22, John sees others, who are not of the bride class. They too are told to say, “Come!” This second group are those who have the hope of living on earth. Therefore, this vision clearly indicates that all who accept the invitation to “come” have the responsibility to preach to others. w15 3/15 4:11-13
