Queen Esther

I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.—Matt. 28:20.
The anointed are spearheading the greatest preaching campaign in history. Without a doubt, Jesus is with them, guiding their efforts. The growing number of prospective sheep count it a privilege to support Christ’s brothers not only in the preaching work but also in other practical ways. For example, they give financial contributions and help to build Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and branch facilities, and they loyally obey those appointed to take the lead. (Heb. 13:17) Soon the angels will unleash the destructive winds of the great tribulation. This will occur after all the remaining ones of Christ’s brothers left on earth have received their final sealing. (Rev. 7:1-3) Before Armageddon breaks out, anointed ones will be taken to heaven. (Matt. 13:41-43) Therefore, now is the time for those who hope to be judged as sheep to support Christ’s brothers loyally. w15 3/15 4:16-18
 

AMEN..... Agape !

The last movie I saw there was Bruce Lee. I think I snick into the theater at the time. I do know the building was a total mess. Jehovah's people have put so much work into turning that building around. May Jehovah continue to bless their efforts as this system dies.

An answer when mild turns away rage.
We don't have all the answers but we can be kind nonetheless. Please don't be  offended, I'm sure  no offense was contemplated.
How unkind to turn our dear brother's death into something shameful. Console one another and compose self with kindness. To each one who ask provide an answer.... if you do some research at JW.org  search all the topics you want and be sure to read the scriptures provided.  You won't find a better source.

AMEN..... Agape !

Yes, I am very grateful!

You will actually drink the milk of nations.—Isa. 60:16.
Many inventions of the past 200 years have helped us to accomplish our commission to make disciples. (Matt. 28:19, 20) In fulfillment of the prophecy that Jehovah’s people would “drink the milk of nations,” we have made wise use of resources of the nations, such as modern technology, in order to produce the Bible and Bible literature in many languages. Clearly, we have strong evidence of God’s blessing. Of course, Jehovah does not rely on our help to accomplish his purposes. Yet, our loving heavenly Father allows us to be his “fellow workers,” thus enabling us to show our love for him and for our neighbor. (1 Cor. 3:9; Mark 12:28-31) May we take advantage of our opportunities to proclaim the Kingdom message, the most important work on earth. By all means, let us show how thankful we are that Jehovah has guided and blessed our global teaching work! w15 2/15 4:16, 17
 

Its ok. your opinion... but you've to accept other opinions too !  For some things we've all our conscience. Its the same by the blood questions, many JW have a little different opinion for their own body, we know that and its ok. Thats also a case of our own conscience and no other brother or sister has to say anything against that ! Satan has nothings to do with my decisions, only Jehovah. Many JW watching *STAR WARS* and similar movies too... We got a conscience from Jehovah and we can use it. Thats my last word to this discuss theme ! 
PS. My son was playing in the past often the character figure Dagobert Duck, from Mickey Mouse...  Today he is a good, successful Banker, but also a JW !  Wish you a nice day ;o)

Deaden . . . your body members . . . as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion.—Col. 3:5.
The word “deaden” indicates that we must take strong measures to fight against immoral fleshly desires. We will avoid anything that might arouse in us sexual desire for someone other than our mate. (Job 31:1) As we conform our lives to God’s will, we learn to “abhor what is wicked” and “cling to what is good.” (Rom. 12:2, 9) The new personality reflects “the image of the One who created it,” Jehovah himself. (Col. 3:10) What blessings result when husbands and wives fortify their moral defenses by clothing themselves “with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, mildness, and patience”! (Col. 3:12) They also enjoy greater marital harmony when they “let the peace of the Christ control [their] hearts.” (Col. 3:15; ftn.) How rewarding it is for couples to “have tender affection for one another”!—Rom. 12:10. w15 1/15 4:10, 11
 

Dear Brothers and Sisters, the best response to a critical comment is no response at all.
At Luke 7:31-35, Jesus discussed "the men of this generation" who were critical of others, finding fault.  His conclusion was simply, "All the same, wisdom is proved righteous by all its children."
There is no need to respond.

Look...  you  will  be  with  me  in  PARADISE ? 
Luke 23:43
 

Thank you, 
For such beautiful Illustration  with picture .   & Scripture application

A BEGGAR BECAME A CONGREGATION ELDER....
WHAT  a  big  blessing  from  our  God  Jehovah ❤
But,  read  the  story !
One Sunday morning, two brothers were preaching on the streets, could not talk to anyone, the brothers decided to talk to a beggar who sat on the bench in the square, who ate trash heaps that were there.
The brothers began to talk to him about the hope of a new world where there would be no more misery, there would be no more hunger, no violence, etc. The beggar was very much interested in the message and he accepted a study of the Bible with the brochure "does God require of us? And the brothers made arrangements to continue studying in the same place. When the day came, that beggar I was anxious to see the brothers were falling behind a bit, but came and went with the study. This beggar continued to study for two months ... one Saturday morning, the brothers were doing the preaching from house to house in that same territory when suddenly they saw the beggar also talking with people about the Bible, the brothers went to where the beggar to say that could not be doing this, on the doors, because it was necessary to have a good appearance and fill certain requirements.
Then the brothers took him to his home, where he bathed, shaved, cut his hair, nails, teeth brushed, and told them got him right clothes ... This beggar began to attend all meetings, without missing one, he began to participate in the theocratic ministry school; shortly thereafter he made one of his two dreams: he began to preach the good news from house to house. By that time this beggar was an example for all in the congregation and everyone who knew him knew of his history. After studying for 8 months was baptized at an international meeting held at Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo Brazil.
The brother who had this experience in speech concluded: know what the result of that experience That beggar who became a brother? 'ME !!! and today I am having the privilege of being here telling my own story, for all the brothers.
Currently, in addition to serving Jehovah, I have my family, I have my house, I have a son and I serve as an elder in my congregation (... kept the audience not to applaud ...) so brothers have well in mind that in this world we all preach to all kind of people!; We demonstrate Christlike humility and willingness to give help to those in need, knowing that before God we are all beggars....

Inspiring story.

An  11-year-old  Girl  Got  a  Whole  *Foods Contract*  for  Her  Lemonade Business....

*Mikaila Ulmer*  holds  a  bottle  of  her  *BeeSweet*  Lemonade....

The Austin, Texas sixth-grader built her lemonade business, BeeSweet Lemonade (soon-to-be “Me & The Bees”), with a 1940s lemonade recipe from her grandmother that uses flaxseed and local honey as sweetener. Ulmer received a $60,000 investment when she appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank with her business.
Whole Foods also saw the promise in her lemonade, which supports local bees by using honey. The supermarket chain signed a deal with Ulmer to sell the lemonade in 55 stores across Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. While the lemonade brand highlights the role of bees, Ulmer said she wasn’t  always a fan.
“When I was four years old, I got stung by two bees in one week,” she told NBC. “It was painful. I was terrified of bees.” But that fear ended up inspiring her to learn more about the insects, and she decided to make her lemonade with local honey.
Mikaila Ulmer had received a $60,000 investment on  Shark Tank  for her BeeSweet lemonade.
Not many kids turn their lemonade stands into successful ventures, but  11-year-old Mikaila Ulmer  has  raised the  bar  by  securing  a  four-state  contract  with   Whole Foods.
CHEERS!  Micaila  ;o)

YES,  look  into  the  kiddie  faces  ;o)
HOW  they  enjoy  Caleb & Sophia,  thats  great !
I  REALLY  LOVE  THIS  PICTURE ❤

Jehovah keeps His word. Thanks Anke 

29 The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.
You should no longer go on walking just as the nations [do].—Eph. 4:17.
If we make the right decisions, we can have a satisfying life now and put ourselves in line to “inherit the earth”—to have everlasting life. There are so many wonderful blessings in store for us that we cannot even imagine them all. (Matt. 5:5; 19:29; 25:34) Granted, God does not give us things automatically. He requires something of us. (1 John 5:3, 4) But to serve him faithfully now is definitely worth it! What a great privilege it is to have received so much from God! We have accurate knowledge of his Word and a clear understanding of the truth about him and his purposes. We enjoy the privilege of bearing his name and being his Witnesses. God promises us that he is on our side. (Ps. 118:7) May all of us, whether young or old, show our appreciation by living our life in a way that manifests a keen desire to give Jehovah “the glory forever.”—Rom. 11:33-36; Ps. 33:12. w14 12/15 4:19-21
