Queen Esther

This song no longer appears in the song book, but remains one of our favourites:
LetÂ’s watch How We Walk (Eph. 5:15) Previously song 106

1. LetÂ’s watch how we walk and watch how we talk - That thus we may be alert and wise.

Buying out the opportune time – Since this world in Satan Lies.

Yes, watch how we walk and watch how we talk – That thus we may be alert and wise.

2. Let’s watch what we preach and watch what we preach – Encourage meek ones to take their stand.

By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.

Yes, watch what we preach and watch what we teach – And thus help meek ones to take their stand

By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.

3. Let’s watch how we greet and watch how we treat – All those we meet in our ministry.

Like Christ Jesus, our Fine Shepherd – Care for his sheep lovingly.

Yes, watch how we greet and watch how we treat – And stumble none in our ministry.

Your dad was probably a witness, then he will come back. So will my wife. She had arthritis and deformed feet, but we did our field ministry right until a few days before she died at 86 years old. She will also be pleased to know that I made enlargements of all her photos which she so much loved.
A recent Watchtower told us to be patient about the resurrection, it may take some time before that can happen. Armageddon survivors must first bury the bones of the dead, and destroy all weapons of war. No doubt all cemeteries will be destroyed so that the earth can be in a peaceful state with no signs of war, sickness and death.
Our Gonubie Kingdom Hall has three Sunday meetings. For Blacks, the Afrikaners and the English. The property adjacent to the hall also belongs to us. It's reserved for brothers sent from Bethel to build prefabricated homes for the poor in Black areas in the Transkei.

Thank  you, dear  Brother  @Colin Browne  and  yes,  I  like  a  Library  of paper - books  very  much  -  but  for  finding  many  things  very  quickly,  the  online - library  is  really  a  nice  blessing    Also  our  faithful  slave  is  working  per  online...  time  is  very  rare  and  precious, they  have  alot  to  prove  bec.

                    How true brother, we should not be antique collectors.
Our collection of old books, bound WT,s etc.. were taken with us wherever we went since the 50's. By 1968 the list included The Harp of God in early Dutch. Circa 2012 these were all given to an elder friend a year before going to an old age home, including Byingtons Bible. (Only 100,000 were printed). He in turn gave half of these to other brothers. We kept only one old booklet and four of the later books.
          We would be just as happy using the Bible and the Watchtower Library.

YOU  CAN  TEACH  A  PARROT  to  say,   *I  LOVE  JESUS* !!
But  the  parrot  knows  nothing,  about  what  he  has  said,  or  what  it  means....                                                                    
Don't  be  just  like  a  parrot....   The  world  is  full  of  parrots !

CAN  IMPERFECT  HUMANS  REALLY  PLEASE  GOD?
The short answer is *YES*.   If we have a heart that yearns to serve God obediently and is willing to take correction when warranted,  we  can  please  Jehovah  

It was likely that the coins this widow dropped into the treasury chest were two lepta. A laborer would earn two lepta in just 15 minutes. Jesus drew a valuable lesson from the widow’s donation of these two coins of little value.
She Put In More Than All the Others...
two small coins of very little value:  Lit., “two lepta,”  the plural form of the Greek word le·pton?, meaning “something small and thin.”     A lepton was a coin that equaled 1/128 of a denarius and was evidently the smallest copper or bronze coin used in Israel.  ~~~~~     See Glossary, “Lepton,” and App. B14.

Although we avoid involvement in worldly politics, we are allowed to read or listen to news broadcasts. In some cases, it strengthens our faith in JehovahÂ’s prophecies:
“And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.”
        (Psalm 2; 76:12; Isa. 24:21, 22; Revelation 16:13,14; 17:2;19:19)

( By  our  older  Brother  Roger B. Elder )
THE  TELEVISION  PREACHERS have made million and millions of dollars off the backs of poor folks, ignorant of what God's word actually says. They spread and repeat over and over the same simple lie....
Here is the lie....
All one has to do to be saved, and achieve everlasting life in heaven is to say that one believes in Jesus Christ,  and that they have accepted Jesus into their "hearts."NOTHING  COULD  BE  FURTHER  FROM  THE  TRUTH !
While duping the poor people out of their money,  these so called preachers live a rich lifestyle....  amassing huge estates ~~~ and become best friends with powerful politicians...  and when they die,  the news media eulogizes them over and over..... Nothing these "so called"  preachers say or do matches up, with what Jesus Christ did or said!
Here is the truth of the matter.....  The road to life is a difficult road,  not an easy road.  Those traveling on the road to life are constantly trying their best to imitate Jesus....
They preach the Kingdom message,  just as Jesus did!  They do not get involved with politics....  imitating Jesus.  They do not learn war any more....  imitating Jesus. They worship the same Almighty God that Jesus worships....  Jehovah God!
They pray to the same Almighty God that Jesus prays to!
SATAN  AND  THE  DEMONS  are believers....  and they shudder when they think about it!   SEE  James 2:19.
Thank  you,  dear  Brother  Elder
MATTHEW  10 : 8
8 Cure the sick, raise up the dead, make lepers clean, expel demons.  You received free,  give free ~~~
ADDITION....
Televangelists have been mass-media fixtures since the 1970s, when preachers retooled their messages to link Christian beliefs with a materialistic pursuit of wealth. However, getting a detailed account of most TV preachers' salaries has often been elusive, since many of these organizations release little or no financial data. The picture that has emerged is pieced together from accounts of lavish lifestyles, homes and book deals, with many television preachers netting tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

WHAT  DOES  THE  EXPRESSION  "Son of Man"  mean?...
An expression found about 80 times in the Gospels. It applies to Jesus Christ and shows that by means of his fleshly birth, he became a human and was not simply a spirit creature with a materialized body.
The phrase also indicates, that Jesus would fulfill the prophecy recorded at  Daniel 7:13,14.   In the Hebrew scriptures,
this expression was used for Ezekiel and Daniel, highlighting the difference between these mortal spokesmen and the Divine Originator of their message.  SEE,  Ezekiel 3:17,   Daniel 8:17,   Matthew 19:28, 20:28.
Thank  you,  dear  Brother  Elder

( By  our  older  Brother  Roger B. Elder )
JEHOVAH GOD loves the humble servant.......   He opposes the haughty person!   Mark 7:21,22   A demeanor of humbleness is our greatest asset in the Congregation, and also in our public ministry.
Those who lack true humbleness, declare that fact loud and clear by their actions.  All  of  us can improve on this wonderful quality, and it is necessary, if we expect to be included in the coming citizenship in Jehovah's Kingdom.
As you read  Mark 7:21,22    notice,  that haughtiness is included alongside all the other horrible traits,
that  "come out of the hearts of men."
Thank  you,  dear  Brother  Elder

By  our  older  Brother,  Roger B. Elder...
JEHOVAH GOD showers blessings on all people of the earth.....  even the wicked people. To learn who Jehovah considers wicked, READ  Malachi 3:18.
Jehovah has blessed me in many ways all my life.....  and much of the time,  I did not realize immediately,  that what had happened  was actually a blessing from him!
But I can assure you of one fact.....  The greatest blessing he has given to me is,  that he has allowed me to be one of his servants,  one of his Witnesses......    And to carry his name,   and be identified as one of his   "Jehovah's Witnesses"!
That would not,  and could not have happened, if he has not "drawn" me to him.  Even though I am but mere dust of the ground, he saw something in me, that made him draw me.   READ   John 6:44   where Jesus explains.
What about you?  Has Jehovah God drawn you?  If he hasn't,  what should you do?  This might be a wake up call, to study the Bible carefully,  and learn what you would need to do, to become a friend of Jehovah God.
Only a very small percentage of the peoples of the earth alive today will ever do that.
Thank you  Brother  Elder.... 

Thanks  for  your  nice  feedback  my  dear  sister    I  hope,  many  of  us  could  see  and  read  the  video....  Soon  I  will  try  post  similar  video's  for  us  -  I  think  we  need  that  for  our  mind  and  soul,  yes. ----

That  photo  very  much  touched  me    bec. I  see,  the  children  have  to  suffer  under  the  terrible  sickness  *Progeria*  -   These  children  have  a  very  short  life,  bec. a  hereditary  defect  
Worldwide  very  less  diseases !  They  always  have  a  meeting  every  year  and  they  very  enjoy  that    I'm  so  happy,  they  *2*  belong  to  the  JW,  thats  very  rare...  Maybe  the  JW  family  can  give  them  all  a  nice  witness  bec. our  BIG  HOPE
I  heared  in  TV  from  this  very  rare  disease....  Thats  SO  hard  I  think   We getting  older  little  slowly....  but  the  small  kiddies  stay  small  and  looking  old  with  ca.10 yrs. thats  so  very  sad,   YES,  ONLY  Jehovah  can  help  us  all    THANK YOU !
( I'm  sure, Brother  St. LETT  was  knowing  of  Progeria...  his  big  smile  was  very  especially   the  little  girl  also  smiling...  but  the  little  brother  was  already  more  serious, so  sad.)  The  voices  of  all  is  very  high  and  pretty  similar...
More  on  wikipedia....  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progerie
Progeria is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at a very early age.[6] Progeria is one of several progeroid syndromes.[7] Those born with progeria typically live to their mid-teens to early twenties.[8][9] It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation, and is rarely inherited, as carriers usually do not live to reproduce. Although the term progeria applies strictly speaking to all diseases characterized by premature aging symptoms, and is often used as such, it is often applied specifically in reference to Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
Signs and symptoms....
Children with progeria usually develop the first symptoms during their first few months of life. The earliest symptoms may include a failure to thrive and a localized scleroderma-like skin condition. As a child ages past infancy, additional conditions become apparent usually around 18–24 months. Limited growth, full-body alopecia (hair loss), and a distinctive appearance (a small face with a shallow recessed jaw, and a pinched nose) are all characteristics of progeria. Signs and symptoms of this progressive disease tend to become more marked as the child ages. Later, the condition causes wrinkled skin, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, loss of eyesight, and cardiovascular problems. Scleroderma, a hardening and tightening of the skin on trunk and extremities of the body, is prevalent. People diagnosed with this disorder usually have small, fragile bodies, like those of elderly people. The face is usually wrinkled, with a larger head in relation to the body, a narrow face and a beak nose. Prominent scalp veins are noticeable (made more obvious by alopecia), as well as prominent eyes. Musculoskeletal degeneration causes loss of body fat and muscle, stiff joints, hip dislocations, and other symptoms generally absent in the non-elderly population. Individuals usually retain typical mental and motor development.
ONE  DAY...  *just  around  the  corner*  -  its  finished  with  all  these  terrible  sicknesses! Only  a  little  while  ~~~~~~~

Oh yes,  you are so right dear @vandenbusschevanoostjosett   I feel the same like you????  many tears....  What a strong faithful Brother !  Such of Brothers very rare and very close with Jehovah.  How nice, we can talk with him, when we stay loyal by Jehovah ?  It is good, when we watching on and off such of video's??   My other posted video is shorter,  but very nice too.  A Sister made a very importend experience with Jehovah???  Now she is more happy than before...
Thank you,  and my best wishes and greetings from Germany???
