Queen Esther

Thats my thoughts too, Brother @Jerry Coates....The nature is making that all alone. Jehovah has all that prepare in the plants, for regenerate oneself! A perfect idea??? Thank you, Jehovah   We're SO thankful, yes 

I look out in the backyard and see the trees, bushes, and grass flourishing. I don't do a thing at making them grow.  It is amazing the process involving chlorophyll making food for the plants out of carbon dioxide, sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food for the plants. We can be thankful for the Creator's works and how they benefit us.  We are certainly thankful to Jehovah for his creations.

Thank you  Brother @Colin Browne....   I will read the WT article, must look in the internet for that. 
I mean, weddingrings not so importend for everyone. I know couples, they have no rings,  one couple is wearing a chain as sign of married. But its all not a 'must have'...
I believe, to Jesus' time very less couples had wedding rings... Rich people like that, with many Diamonds for the wife ?     But its never a guarantee or bond for everlasting....

As for the resurrection, "There are more questions than answers". Wedding rings as an example. My wife kept and treasured every ring from our first anniversary until the gold seven months later. I could not keep my wife's after she died so, with a very heavy heart, all these were given to a sister. (Eccl. 2: 17-19)
Is it proper for a Christian to wear a wedding ring? (Greece)
Many sincere Christians have asked this question out of a desire to avoid any custom of which God might disapprove. Some of the questioners know that Catholic prelate John H. Newman wrote: “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, . . . sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison, are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.” (An Essay on the Development of the Christian Doctrine, 1878) While the facts prove that many of the current religious practices Newman lists definitely were adopted from pagan worship, is that true of the wedding ring?
Actually there are conflicting ideas as to the origin of the wedding ring. Let us give a few examples: “Originally . . . the ring was a fetter, used to bind the captive bride.” (For Richer, for Poorer) “The ring is a relatively modern substitute for the gold coin or other article of value with which a man literally purchased his wife from her father.” (The Jewish Wedding Book) “The wedding ring is supposed to be of Roman origin, and to have sprung from the ancient custom of using rings in making agreements.” (American Cyclopædia) “Various explanations have been given of the connection of the ring with marriage. It would appear that wedding-rings were worn by the Jews prior to Christian times.”—The International Cyclopaedia.
It is thus seen that the precise origin of the wedding ring is uncertain. Even if it were a fact that pagans first used wedding rings, would that rule such out for Christians? Not necessarily. Many of todayÂ’s articles of clothing and aspects of life originated in pagan lands. The present time divisions of hours, minutes and seconds are based on an early Babylonian system. Yet, there is no objection to a ChristianÂ’s using these time divisions, for oneÂ’s doing so does not involve carrying on false religious practices.
Of course, our concern is greater as regards the use of wedding rings, since this relates, not to minor secular matters, but to the marriage relationship, which the Christian rightly views as sacred before God. Really, the question is not so much whether wedding rings were first used by pagans but whether they were originally used as part of false religious practices and still retain such religious significance. As has been shown, the historical evidence does not allow for any definite conclusion on this. What does the Bible say about the use of rings?
The Bible shows that some of God’s servants in the past wore rings, even ones that had special meaning attached to them. Wearing a signet ring could indicate that one had received authority to act in behalf of the ruler who owned it. (Gen. 41:42; Num. 31:50; Esther 8:2, 8; Job 42:11, 12; Luke 15:22) So, while wedding rings are not mentioned, these true worshipers clearly did not scruple against using rings for more than mere adornment.
Some persons say that a wedding ring represents oneÂ’s unending love and devotion in marriage. The increasing divorce rate in many lands where married persons usually wear a wedding ring proves that this meaning is more imagined than real. Nonetheless, for the majority of persons, including Christians, in lands where wedding rings are common, the ring is an outward indication that the wearer is a married person. In other localities the same point is shown in a different way, such as by a womanÂ’s wearing a certain style of clothing.
Of course, a wedding ring is by no means a Christian requirement. One Christian might decide not to wear a wedding ring, because of conscience, personal taste, cost, local custom, or some other reason. Yet another Christian might decide to indicate his married status by means of a wedding ring. Hence, in the final analysis the decision is a personal one, to be made in accord with the conscientious views one holds.  *** w72 1/15 p. 63 Questions From Readers ***

Keep conquering the evil with the good.—Rom. 12:21.
Even if we had a difficult childhood or if our present circumstances seem hopeless, we need to keep contending and persevering. We can trust that if we do so, Jehovah will bless us. (Gen. 39:21-23) Think of a situation that you are facing and that may be a trial for you. Perhaps it is some type of injustice, prejudice, or ridicule. Or the trial you face may be that someone falsely accuses you, perhaps out of jealousy. Rather than drop your hands in defeat, remember what enabled Jacob, Rachel, and Joseph to continue serving Jehovah with joy. God strengthened and blessed them because they kept on showing deep appreciation for spiritual things. They kept on contending and acting in harmony with their earnest prayers. We are living close to the end of the present wicked system of things; thus, we have strong reason to hold on to the firm hope set before us! Are you willing to exert yourself to gain JehovahÂ’s favor? w16.09 2:8, 9

Love one another intensely from the heart.—1 Pet. 1:22.
Bible accounts highlight the privilege we have of showing “brotherly affection” and serving one another. (Luke 22:24-27) The Son of God gave everything, including his life, in ministering to others. (Matt. 20:28) Dorcas “abounded in good deeds and gifts of mercy.” (Acts 9:36, 39) Mary, a sister in Rome, “worked hard” in behalf of those in the congregation. (Rom. 16:6) How can we help new ones grasp the importance of helping their brothers and sisters? Mature Witnesses can invite new ones to come along when visiting the sick and the elderly. If appropriate, parents can take their children on such visits. Elders can work with others in making sure that our dear older ones have good food and that their homes are maintained. In these ways, younger ones and those newly associated learn to perform acts of kindness for others and to appreciate that all in the congregation should feel loved.—Rom. 12:10. w16.08 4:13, 14

This is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it, who really does bear fruit.—Matt. 13:23.
A young sister in France said: “Teachers in my school are quite astonished that there are students who still believe in the Bible.” As a young servant of Jehovah or as someone learning about Him, do you feel under pressure to conform to popular beliefs, such as evolution, rather than believe in a Creator? If so, there are steps you can take to strengthen your faith and keep it strong. One step is for you to use your God-given thinking ability, which “will keep watch over you.” It will protect you from secular philosophies that could destroy your faith. (Prov. 2:10-12) Genuine faith is based on accurate knowledge about God. (1 Tim. 2:4) So as you study God’s Word and our Christian publications, do not just skim over the material. Use your thinking ability so that you ‘get the sense’ of what you read. w16.09 4:1-3

SHOULD WE PRAY FOR OTHERS?   ?•*¨`*•???•*¨`*•?
Jesus Christ set the example for Christians in all things, including prayer. What did he do in that regard?  When teaching them  HOW to pray, Jesus told his disciples: ‘Whenever you pray, say, “Father, let your name be sanctified.”’” (Luke 5:16; 11:1, 2)  Jesus was showing us that prayers are to be directed to his Father, Jehovah. He alone is our Creator and the “Hearer of prayer.”—Psalm 65:2.
Christ also set the example in prayer by praying for others. The Bible tells us:  “Then young children were brought to him for him to place his hands on them and offer prayer." (Matthew 19:13) Jesus told the apostle Peter:  “But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not give out;  and you, once you have returned, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:32)  Jesus encouraged us to pray for each other,  and even for those persecuting and insulting us.— Matthew 5:44;  Luke 6:28.
