Queen Esther

I have sinned against Jehovah.—2 Sam. 12:13.
David accepted correction from Jehovah’s representative, the prophet Nathan. David also prayed to Jehovah, confessing his sins and expressing a sincere desire to be restored to Jehovah’s favor. (Ps. 51:1-17) Instead of being paralyzed by guilt, David learned from his mistakes. Indeed, he never repeated those serious sins. Years later, he died faithful, his record of integrity firmly sealed in Jehovah’s memory. (Heb. 11:32-34) What can we learn from David’s example? If we fall into serious sin, we need to repent sincerely and seek Jehovah’s forgiveness. We must confess our sins to him. (1 John 1:9) We also need to approach the elders, who can offer us spiritual help. (Jas. 5:14-16) By availing ourselves of Jehovah’s arrangements, we show that we trust in his promise to heal and forgive us. Thereafter, we do well to learn from our mistakes, move forward in our service to Jehovah, and look to the future with confidence.—Heb. 12:12, 13. w17.01 1:13, 14

Happy is the one whose transgression is pardoned.—Ps. 32:1.
Some anxiety may be caused by a person’s past actions or failings. At times, King David felt that his ‘errors loomed over his head.’ He admitted: “My anguished heart makes me groan aloud.” (Ps. 38:3, 4, 8, 18) In that situation, what was the wise thing for David to do? What did he do? He trusted in Jehovah’s mercy and forgiveness. (Ps. 32:2, 3, 5) At other times, you may become anxious about the present. For instance, when David wrote Psalm 55, he feared for his life. (Ps. 55:2-5) Nevertheless, he did not allow anxiety to destroy his confidence in Jehovah. David made his problems a subject of fervent prayer, but he also understood the value of taking practical steps to deal with the cause of the anxiety. (2 Sam. 15:30-34) Learn a lesson from David. Instead of allowing anxiety to overwhelm you, take what steps you can to deal with the situation and then confidently leave matters in Jehovah’s hands. w16.12 3:14, 15

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit, on the things of the spirit.—Rom. 8:5.
Some might imagine that this is a contrast between those who are not in the truth and those who are, between those who are not Christians and those who are. However, Paul was writing to “those who are in Rome as God’s beloved ones, called to be holy ones.” (Rom. 1:7) Thus, Paul was contrasting Christians who walked according to the flesh with Christians who walked according to the spirit. He linked “living according to the flesh” with “the sinful passions” that were then “at work in [their] bodies.” (Rom. 7:5) So when speaking of those who “set their minds on the things of the flesh,” Paul was referring to people who are ruled by or focused on their desires and leanings as imperfect humans. In the main, these are ones who follow their cravings, impulses, and passions, whether sexual or otherwise. w16.12 2:5, 7

TEXTO DIÁRIO DRAMATIZADO 21 DE FEVEREIRO 2018

OS QUE VIVEM DE ACORDO COM A CARNE FIXAM A MENTE NAS COISAS DA CARNE; MAS OS QUE VIVEM DE ACORDO COM O ESPÍRITO, NAS COISAS DO ESPÍRITO. 
— Rom. 8:5
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/l/r5/lp-t?q=Rom.+8%3A5
 
ALGUNS ACHAM QUE ESSE TEXTO MOSTRA A DIFERENÇA ENTRE OS QUE SERVEM A JEOVÁ E OS QUE NÃO SERVEM. 
Só que Romanos 1:7 mostra que Paulo estava escrevendo aos que tinham sido “chamados para ser santos”, ou seja, os cristãos ungidos.
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/l/r5/lp-t?q=Romanos+1%3A7

Assim, Paulo estava falando da diferença entre os cristãos que viviam de acordo com a carne e os cristãos que viviam de acordo com o espírito. 
Em Romanos 7:5, Paulo disse que os que vivem “de acordo com a carne” vivem de acordo com seus “desejos pecaminosos”. Isso nos ajuda a entender quem são as pessoas que “vivem de acordo com a carne” e que “fixam a mente nas coisas da carne”. 
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/l/r5/lp-t?q=Romanos+7%3A5

Paulo estava falando de pessoas que só pensam em satisfazer seus desejos, que se deixam levar pelas suas imperfeições. São as que se entregam aos seus desejos e às suas paixões.

... and as far as being footstep followers of Jesus Christ ... there is NO RECORD of any children being Baptized in the Bible, and Jesus himself was age 30 when he was Baptized.
We are baptizing children at the ages of 8, and up.
Follow Jesus?
Gimmee a BREAK!
His example is being totally ignored.

Thank  you,  our  dear  sister  @Mimi Little     Oh  yes,  we  have  alot  of  these  nice  pictures !   Enjoy  our  different  area's  and  postings...

VOU  LHE MOSTRAR O JULGAMENTO DA GRANDE PROSTITUTA QUE ESTÁ SENTADA SOBRE MUITAS ÁGUAS. 
— Apo. 17:1
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/l/r5/lp-t?q=Apo.+17%3A1
 
Os Estudantes da Bíblia avisaram seus parentes e amigos e as pessoas da sua igreja de que eles não apoiavam mais a religião falsa. Mas eles entenderam que isso não era suficiente. O mundo inteiro precisava saber quem realmente era Babilônia, a Grande — uma prostituta! 
Por isso, entre dezembro de 1917 e o início de 1918, os milhares de Estudantes da Bíblia distribuíram 10 milhões de folhetos com o seguinte tema: “A Queda de Babilônia” (em inglês). Sem rodeios, esse folheto mostrava as mentiras das religiões que se diziam cristãs. Como era de esperar, os líderes das igrejas ficaram furiosos! Mas os Estudantes da Bíblia não se deixaram abalar e continuaram com a sua pregação. Eles estavam determinados a “obedecer a Deus como governante em vez de a homens”. 
Atos 5:29
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/l/r5/lp-t?q=Atos+5%3A29
 
O que tudo isso mostra? Mostra que, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, aqueles cristãos não estavam entrando no cativeiro de Babilônia, a Grande. Muito pelo contrário, eles estavam se libertando da religião falsa e ajudando outros a fazer o mesmo. 
w16.11 5:2, 4
https://wol.jw.org/pt/wol/d/r5/lp-t/2016844#h=10:0-11:0

I WILL SHOW YOU THE JUDGMENT ON THE GREAT PROSTITUTE WHO SITS ON MANY WATERS 
—Rev. 17:1
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/l/r1/lp-e?q=Rev.+17%3A1
 
The Bible Students understood that it was not enough for them to inform relatives, close friends, and church members of their stand on false religion. The whole world needed to see Babylon the Great for what it is—a religious prostitute! 
Accordingly, between December 1917 and early 1918, the few thousand Bible Students zealously distributed 10,000,000 copies of a tract featuring the subject “The Fall of Babylon”—a hard-hitting indictment of Christendom. As you can imagine, the clergy were furious; but undeterred, the Bible Students kept right on with this important work. They were determined to obey “God as ruler rather than men.” 
Acts 5:29:
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/l/r1/lp-e?q=Acts+5%3A29
 
What can we conclude? 
That far from becoming enslaved to Babylon the Great during the war, these Christian men and women were breaking free from its influence and were helping others to do so.
 w16.11 5:2, 4
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2016844#h=10:0-11:0

I  think,  it  was  not  a  wrong  question  @John Lindsay Barltrop....  bec. JTR.  IS  a  JW !!   -------
Yes,  a  knife  or  an  axt  also  weapon's  and  dangerous.  But  a  gun  is  MORE  bad,  bec. you  can  kill  many  person's  in  some  seconds,  like  Florida  etc. -  and  that  from  a  bigger  distance !!   That  gives  a  gun  alot  more  power....   Bad  and  crazy  people  always  using  gun's  and  very  rare  a  knife.
Crazy  people  we've  in  many  Countries,  around  the  world,  so  we  never  can  be  safe.  But  using  a  gun  is  NEVER  an  alternative,  but  in  TRUMP's  sense,  seems  so....
We're  JW's  and  carry  or  using  a  gun  or  similar,  is  a  sin  -  Jehovah hates  it !!   Thanks  my  Brothers
 

Thank  you
Yes,  its  similar  to  a  situation,  when  you  give  away  a  book  and  I  give  that  person  the  video  to  that  book....   Probable  she / he  would  first  watch  the  video,  then,  later  read  the  book.  Thats  not  the  sense,  you  understand  what  I  mean?  Thank  you  my  dear  Sister  @Bible Speaks  Agape!

IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE....
If Jesus came to your house, to spend a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do?
I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest
And all the food that you would serve would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring him you're glad to have him there,
That serving him in your own home is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw him coming, would you meet him at the door,
With outstretched arms in welcome, to your heavenly visitor?
Or would you need to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some worldly magazines and put Bibles where they had been?
Would you turn off the radio, and hope he hadn't heard...
And would you wish you hadn't said that last, loud nasty word?
Would you hide your rock and roll albums and put the songbook out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in?...or would you rush about?
And I wonder...If the Savior spent a day or two with you...
Would you go on doing the things you always do?
Would you keep right on saying the things you always say?
And would your life continue as it does from day to day?
Would you sing the songs you always sing and read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which your mind and heart do feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you'd planned to go?
Or would you, maybe, change your plans just for a day or so?
Would you be glad to have him meet your very closest friends?
Or hope that they would stay away until his visit ends?
Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great relief when he at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do?
If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you?
