Our  Brother   *Josh Groban*   -   To  Where  You  Are...
A  wonderful  song  ( with  text )
When  you  just  lost  a  loving  person,  take  better  a  'hanky'....
Its  very  heart - touching ❤
 

Very  brave,  our  loving  sisters  &  brothers  on  the  Philippines  or  south  America -
Many  have  daily  a  little  dangerous  preaching - way...
A  BIG  challenge  compared  to  our  simple  serving !
May  Jehovah  bless  you  ALL ❤
 

The little one will become a thousand and the small one a mighty nation. I myself, Jehovah, will speed it up in its own time.—Isa. 60:22.
Worldwide, there are now well over 7,900,000 Witnesses, with millions more associating with them, especially during the annual observance of the Memorial. We do not boast in numbers, for it is ‘God who keeps making things grow.’ (1 Cor. 3:5-7) Nevertheless, it is evident that the great crowd is growing and becoming greater with each passing year. (Rev. 7:9) There has been remarkable growth in the number of God’s servants because Jehovah himself is backing his Witnesses. (Isa. 43:10-12) At one time, the anointed remnant were like “the little one,” but their number grew as other spiritual Israelites were brought into God’s organization. (Gal. 6:16) Because of Jehovah’s blessing over the years, the increase continues with the gathering of the great crowd. w14 5/15 4:7, 8

Cómo te atreves
a mirarme así
a ser tan bella
y encima sonreir?
miá, hoy serás mía por fin
cierra los ojos
déjate querer
quiero llevarte
al valle del placer
mía, hoy serás mía lo sé
déjame robar
el gran secreto de tu piel
déjate llevar
por tus instintos de mujer
entrégate
áun no te siento
deja que tu cuerpo
se acostumbre a mi calor
entrégate
mi prisionera
la pasión no espera
y yo no puedo más de amor
abre los ojos
no me hagas sufrir
no te das cuenta
que tengo sed de ti
mía, hoy serás mía por fin
déjame besar
el brillo de tu desnudez
déjame llegar
a ese rincón que yo soñé
entrégate
áun no te siento
deja que tu cuerpo
se acostumbre a mi calor
entrégate
sin condiciones
tengo mil razones
y yo no puedo más de amor

Der Kleine selbst wird zu einem Tausend werden und der Geringe zu einer mächtigen Nation. Ich selbst, Jehova, werde es beschleunigen zu seiner eigenen Zeit (Jes. 60:22)
Auf der ganzen Erde gibt es jetzt weit über 7 900 000 Zeugen. Mit ihnen versammeln sich weitere Millionen, besonders bei der jährlichen Feier zum Gedenken an den Tod Christi. Wir wollen uns nicht mit Zahlen hervortun. Es ist Gott, der es wachsen lässt (1. Kor. 3:5-7). Doch eines ist klar ersichtlich: Die große Volksmenge wächst und wird mit jedem Jahr größer (Offb. 7:9). Die Zahl der Diener Gottes ist bemerkenswert angestiegen, denn Jehova steht hinter seinen Zeugen (Jes. 43:10-12). Der Überrest der Gesalbten war einst wie „der Kleine“, nahm jedoch an Zahl zu, als weitere geistige Israeliten in Gottes Organisation gebracht wurden (Gal. 6:16). Dank des Segens Jehovas ist auch die große Volksmenge über die Jahre immer größer geworden. w14 15. 5. 4:7, 8
 

Look...  you  will  be  with  me  in  PARADISE ?

OUR  LONG  TIME  *PARROT - FRIEND*  ;o)
 

We  have  so  different  animal  pictures  which  all  showing,  many  want  help  us  by  preaching  the  good  NEWS....  ;o)
 

I love the comparison of the metaphors juxtaposed with the varied melody which goes from slow crescendo to a full out passionate climax back into a slow almost nostalgic melancholy.
Well done composer and singer!!
One of my favorite songs of all time.
 
"Amante Del Amor"
 
Mi prisión, mi libertad
mi obscuridad y mi lucero
mezcla de brisa y tempestad
así te quiero
mi pasión, mi corazón
lluvia de mayo, sol de invierno
que me estás dando, que tendrás
tal vez encanto, veneno
amante del amor
quisiera ser la enredadera
que sube por tu piel de seda
beberme tu pasión
amarte entera
amante del amor
mi placer, mi dolor
mi sensatez y mi locura
lo has sido todo para mí
amor violento, ternura
amante del amor
quisiera ser la enredadera
que sube por tu piel de seda
beberme tu pasión
amarte entera
amante del amor
a fuego lento yo te
quisiera amar
amante del amor
quiero quererte
dulcemente
y beso a beso hasta vencerte
muy poco a poco
profundamente
amante del amor  

When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.”—Jas. 1:13.
We may become impatient when a trialsome period seems to have no end. Suppose you are driving a car on a highway and get stuck in traffic. Trying to find another route, you might get lost or end up taking more time to reach your destination than you would had you patiently remained on course. Similarly, if you stick to the paths outlined in God’s Word, in time you will arrive at your destination. Jehovah may hold off from intervening in our trials because he wants us to receive vital training. (1 Pet. 5:6-10) No, God does not cause trials. “Your adversary, the Devil,” is causing most adversities. Yet, God can use a difficult situation to help us grow spiritually. He sees our suffering, and “because he cares” for us, he will make sure that it will continue only for “a little while.” Do you appreciate Jehovah’s watchful care when you suffer trials, confident that he will provide a way out?—2 Cor. 4:7-9. w14 4/15 5:15, 16
 

ONLY  A  LITTLE  WHILE..........
 4 He will render judgment among the nations
And set matters straight respecting many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning shears.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
Nor will they learn war anymore.

Curious... I never seen, that JW or our children put the right hand on the left heart area by a ceremony - only "world-people" doing that, example in the USA ! So I am puzzling, if these kids really JW kids ? Only the brother in front is NOT doing that ! Seems, he IS a JW child?
So, the picture title maybe not correct I think.

Achupallas, Ecuador -  The  '94- year'  old  Manuel Jesús  was  so  smiling  about  his  Memorial  -  Invitation,  in  his  own  language  "Quichua"  -  getting  from  our  sister !  He  was  walking  up  and  down  on  the  road  in  his  neighborhood,  with  a  very  happy  face ;o)  // so  the  sister.
What  a  cool  Grandpa....
 

My Last Conversation With Prince, R.I.P.    ( Neil Strauss,  April 21, 2016 )
I just heard moments ago the tragic news that Prince, one of the greatest recording and live artists of our time, passed away.
Over the years of writing about music,  I’ve interviewed him, seen him perform big and small shows,  and even run afoul of him.
The following obituary of sorts is from my last encounter with him, when the tables got turned. Instead of me interviewing Prince, somehow he started interviewing me.  However, his questions were often more revealing about his character than answers would be in a normal interview.
The location was a Los Angeles club, where Prince sat with his entourage in a roped-off section, sporting a pencil-thin mustache, and a 80s puffy black shirt with vertical white vents. Suddenly, he started barraging me with questions, carefully evaluating each answer, as if he were giving me a test.
Because  Prince  doesn’t  allow  reporters  to  record  his  voice,  the following is paraphrased and reconstructed from notes made at the time.
Prince: So what else do you do?
Me: I also write books.
What are they about?
The last one was called The Game. I spent two years studying the techniques of the world’s greatest pick up artists.
What were the others about?
I wrote books about people in entertainment. I did one with Motley Crue, another with Jenna Jameson, and some others about music.
So you write rock books?
I guess I mostly write about the dark side.
Why the dark side?
Because it’s more interesting.
But the light side can be interesting too.
I suppose it can be. I never thought of that.
Do you believe in God?
I definitely believe in something greater than ourselves, but it depends on how you define God. (pause) Why did you ask that question?
Because it lets me know what someone is about. If you think about it, the light side can be just as interesting as the dark side.
Maybe I should write a book about that.
If you want to write a book about a mystery, I have one for you. Do you like mysteries?
I love mysteries. That’s what storytelling is all about.
Have you ever studied the Bible?
I’ve read the Bible, but never studied it.
What do you mean by the Bible?
The old and new testaments.
Which version of the Bible did you read?
The King James.
The New World version is the most accurate version. It’s also the best. It doesn’t have the thee’s and thou’s. It’s just ordinary language. Do you pray?
I don’t pray. I’ve meditated though.
Why not?
I wasn’t raised to.
Are your parents religious?
Yes, but they didn’t really practice.
What did they do?
It was more important as a community to them.
Why is that important?
Perhaps as a sense of identity?
Isn’t that racism?
I don’t think it’s about race. It does seem to be an unfortunate trait of human nature though to make divisions and pick sides, whether it’s shirts versus skins or different sports teams.
Want to hear the mystery?
I’m ready.
The mystery is  (long, dramatic pause): Why has the name God been slowly removed from the Bible?
What do you mean?
They have slowly taken the name God out of the Bible and replaced it with Lord. Do you know why?
Probably to give themselves more power?
It’s about power, and people wanting to control others.
Why do you think they want power?
I don’t know. I think the problem with organized religion is that people who go to worship often need a conduit to God, or an authority telling them what’s right and wrong. And that authority is sometimes abused.
But you need an authority, otherwise who are you responsible to?
You’re responsible to yourself.
And the being who created the world and the trees and the oceans, you just ignore?   Oh, I thought you meant a human authority.
You can be responsible to God. Gratitude is very important.
(Prince begins talking in a hushed voice about the death of his father, and how it was hard for him. The club, unfortunately, is loud, and I’m not able to make out every word he says.)
Everyone has a rock bottom. We know what the rock bottom is.
But what’s the limit to happiness?
Has anyone reached the rock top?  I wonder what that would be.
From here, the discussion turns to Jehovah’s Witnesses, 9/11, violence in society, and a dozen other related subjects. At one point, he gestures to his band, the New Power Generation, and the rest of his entourage, and explains . . .
 We like to talk like this. We can talk forever about what’s wrong, but we like to think about solutions. Most people don’t want to talk about politics and religion. They say, “Let’s talk about something else.”
But what else is there? That’s what our civilization is about.
That’s right.
So let me ask you something: Do you think God is looking after each and every individual, or does he sometimes have to harm an individual in order to serve the greater good of the universe?
When everyone recognizes Jehovah’s name, then everyone will be happy because everyone will know what to do and how to do it.
Really ?   -  That’s it.
It’s really that simple.
