Queen Esther

You will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.—Acts 1:8.
The unseen power of the Kingdom message to change people has particularly been evident in countries where the Kingdom work is legally restricted. It is hard to know how far the message has reached in such countries, and we are often surprised by the results. Take Cuba, for example. The Kingdom message reached there in 1910, and Brother Russell visited Cuba in 1913. However, the progress was slow at first. What do we now see in Cuba? In 2013, there were over 96,000 publishers preaching the good news, and 229,726 attended the Memorial—that is 1 out of every 48 inhabitants of that island nation. Even in countries that are not under ban, the Kingdom message may have reached into areas where local Witnesses think that little witnessing can be done.—Eccl. 8:7; 11:5. w14 12/15 1:11, 13
 

DREAMING  OF  JEHOVAH'S  NEW  WORLD  WOULD  COME❤
A  SMILING  BABY  IS  DREAMING  -  ALSO  SOME  BIBLE  SCRIPTURES....
A VERY  SWEET  PHOTO  WHICH  WE  ALL  LOVE.......

Very very sad ;-(   What a horrible *end-time* we've... ? So many Countries affected ! I've very mixed emotions for the FOOTBALL EM  in France too....

GERMANY vs  UKRAINE  just finished...  2 : 0  !!!!  WOW ??⚽️⚽️
⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These words are all very true. Yet, I must ask JWs about this:

 “It is also sobering to know that Jehovah does not tolerate hypocritical worship.”

Please note the contrasting statements from the publications:

“As Christians, we face up to similar challenges today. We cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry—be it worshipful gestures toward an image or symbol or the imputing of salvation to a person or an organization. Wt ‘90/11/1/p.26

The words of Jesus clearly showed that true worship would not depend upon the presence or use of visible things and geographic locations. Instead of relying on sight or touch, the true worshiper exercises faith and, regardless of the place or things about him, maintains a worshipful attitude. Thus he worships, not with the aid of something that he can see or touch, but with spirit. it-2 pp. 1210-1212

Compare with these:

“Come to Jehovah’s organization for salvation”  WT ‘81/11/15 p. 212


“Righteous flee to God’s Mountain-like organization”  Make Sure of All Things pg 323

“JEHOVAH’S people on earth today worship him in a way that pleases him… They became an organization that represented Jehovah.” ws14 5/15 pp. 21-26 

Now read this first quote then those that follow:

"Ask yourself now, Did Christ Jesus, who set our example and told us to follow his example to gain life, join any church organization in his day? No, God does not require us to do that; but he requires us to worship him... We have the Bible to show us the right way. Certainly it is not necessary for a person to become a member of a church to gain everlasting life." Watchtower 1953 Mar 1 p.143 
If we are to have Jehovah’s favor and blessing as individuals, we must support his organization and accept adjustments in our understanding of the Scriptures. w14 5/15 pp. 26-30 

Jehovah wants us to support his organization and accept adjustments in the way we understand Bible truth and in the way we preach….ws14 5/15 pp. 21-26

Now contrast these two:

No human organization will help Jehovah’s people.... They will need to trust in God for salvation. Wt 12/4/15

One valuable lesson we learn is that we need to trust God’s organization. bt chap. 13 pp. 101-107

Who do YOU trust?  God, or organization, or a combination, which is idolatry?  Can you worship without the organization as stated in the W ’90?  Or must you worship only by supporting an organization as W ’14 states. 

"To whom, then, will you compare me, and to whom should I be equal?" asks the Holy One.  Isa 40:25

Are you completely confused? From the daily text:  "Although a devious person may skillfully deceive other humans for a while, Jehovah’s almightiness and righteousness guarantee that “the one covering over his transgressions will not succeed."

The Watchtower tells you two sides of the coin, but of course you must comply to the lie - that the organization is God's earthly Zion. There is no scriptural evidence of an earthly Zion in the form of an organization built using Satan’s tools and placed in Satan's world. Touting a physical organization to represent God is not worshiping in spirit and truth, but instead relying on what is seen and made - and all centralized religions do the same thing. 

"When you say, 'Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of other countries, worshiping wood and stone', what you have in mind will never happen."  Ezek 20:32

"As for you, house of Israel, this is what the Lord God says:  Go and serve your idols, each of you.  But afterward you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols." Ezek 20:39

"I will act for My own sake, indeed, My own, for how can I be defiled? I will not give My glory to another."  Isa 48:11

 God’s true organization is the Body of Christ, thus the words from 1953 Watchtower above are true.  John 17:22,23; Rom 12:1,2,4-8
"Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days."  Therefore the Jews said, "This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will you raise it up in three days?"  But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body."  John 2:19-21        

Yes, it is "very sobering to know that God does not tolerate hypocritical worship".

"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!"  James 4:8

"They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts."  Ps 12:2

When asked during the Aust Royal Commission, if the members of the Governing Body consider themselves to be God's spokesperson on earth, Geoff Jackson said, "That would be presumptuous of us"
Indicating that perhaps Jehovah's Witnesses are not necessarily the only ones who recognize the TRUTH written in the bible.
There are obviously many not yet contacted through witnessing and more born every minute, whose heart only Jehovah can read.

Song 152: Our Strength, Our Hope, Our Confidence 

I'm  very  sure,  we  shall  see  alot  of  Non - JW's  in  the  NW,  bec. it  does  give  different  reasons  for  that !  And  we're  also  very  wondering,  bec.  many  JW  are  not  there,  sorry......   Jehovah  will  first  watching  and  judge  all  our  hearts  and  our  doings. Then,  maybe,  we  get  our  biggest  chance  and  gift !  We  got  so  often  *New light*.....   Librarian,  I  love  your  sentence...
I  guess,  we  will  just  have  to  wait  and  see  ;o)
We  get  some  *New  Scrolls*  too,  then  many  questions  will  have  answers !

@Jay Witness The Nethinim class antitype applies to the helpers of the Governing Body who are not of the Anointed Ones. (144,000)
This new understanding came about around 1992. I believe Anthony Morris III proposed that article which was eventually published in The Watchtower.
As for some "Worldly" people (a term we try not to use in public) being the Nethinim class in "Paradise"... I guess we will just have to wait and see.
I, for one, would be excited to now that billions of people would be allowed to live in the new theocracy rather than be destroyed.
Maybe this will be part of the upcoming "New Scrolls"?
 
As for the Gibeonites, ... well.... that is a whole other question I will have to tackle later. ;-)
 

ha ha , sorry mistake.  thank you sister Queen  Esther.  
Thanks for all the information sent to us .   

You will not leave me in the Grave.—Ps. 16:10.
One reason why we know that Jesus’ resurrection occurred is the zeal that his disciples showed in proclaiming it. Zealously bearing witness to the resurrection of the Christ exposed them to persecution, suffering, and death. If Jesus had not been raised up—if it was all a hoax—why would Peter risk his life to proclaim Christ’s resurrection to the religious leaders, who hated Jesus and had plotted his death? It was because Peter and the other disciples were certain that Jesus was alive and was directing the work that God wanted done. Moreover, Jesus’ resurrection assured his followers that they too would be resurrected. For instance, Stephen died with the conviction that there would be a resurrection of the dead. (Acts 7:55-60) We would probably never have heard of Jesus had he not been resurrected. But we have solid reasons to believe that Jesus is alive and is now guiding and directing us as we proclaim the good news far and wide. w14 11/15 1:11, 13, 14
 

Yes, song 151 is a no show. Will have to wait. We have 152, 153 and 154 truthfully. But they still are beautiful songs.

the songs are very beautiful, full of meaning, waiting for the 151 also
 

Thats  right  Carmen,  No. 151  is  not  there...  I  will  ask  Bro. Murdock !   *************************************************************************************
Bro. Murdock,  we  got  all  songs..   but  No. 151  is  away,  not  there ;-(
The  first  link  is  empty...  but  the  second  is  ok.  thank  you !  But  without  number  151,  sorry...   please  take  a  look,  thanks !  You  can  still  bring  it ? That  were  so  nice  ;o)
 

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)

He is not here, for he was raised up.—Matt. 28:6.
Jesus was alive! Events of the next 40 days left no doubt that Jesus had been resurrected. Summarizing the evidence, the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians: “Among the first things I handed on to you was what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, yes, that he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep in death. After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. But last of all he appeared also to me as if to one born prematurely.”—1 Cor. 15:3-8. w14 11/15 1:9, 10
Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 14) Mark 15:1-47

Beautifully done.........❤️

A  very  heart-touching  true  story ❤
A son took his father to a restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner. His father was of advanced age, and therefore, a little weak, too. While he was eating, a little bit of food fell from time to time on his shirt and his trousers. The other diners watched the older man with their faces distorted in disgust, but his son remained totally calm.
Once both were done eating, the son, without being remotely ashamed, helped his father by taking him to the restroom. He cleaned up the leftovers from his wrinkled face, and tried to wash the stains of food from his clothes. He lovingly combed his hair gray and I finally got his glasses cleaned. On the way out of the restroom, a profound silence reigned in the restaurant. The son was going to pay the bill and get ready to escort his father out of the restaurant. Just then a man rose from his chair among the diners, and asked the son " don't you think that you've left something here? "The young man replied, "No, I haven't missed anything". Then the stranger said to him, " Yes you've left something! You left here a lesson for each child, and hope for every parent!" The entire restaurant was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
One of the biggest honors that exists, is the ability to take care of those older adults who cared for us. Our parents, and all those elderly who sacrificed their lives, with time, money, effort and unconditional love. They deserve our utmost respect. If you also feel respect for older adults, share this story with all your friends.
