Becoming one!

Stay faithful and true
To the God who loves you.....!

Jesus explained that one:
Mark 10:29-30: "Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life."

Jesus Christ
Ph. 2:9: "For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name"
(PS. Another no brainer...This is getting a bit silly!!)

NO!

Which people???

Just great.....
Is 11:9: "They will not cause any harm or any ruin in all my holy mountain, because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea."
 

Can an unbaptised publisher marry? (asked by @Jay Witness,)
Yes.
1Tim.4:1-3:
"teachings of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, whose conscience is seared as with a branding iron. They forbid marriage"

Jehovah's spirit and their determination.
Ezekiel 3:9
"I have made your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or be terrified by their faces, for they are a rebellious house.”"

Depends on Caesar's law.
PS I would like to know which educated doctor was in a position to really say he could offer a "life-saving" blood transfusion?

As Jesus instructed them at Matt 10:14:
"Wherever anyone does not receive you or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet."
Then they move on through the neighbourhood to "search out who in it is deserving". Matt 10:11.

It is in the key of F major.

There are no rules of any sort.
Except for a family head who is authorized to set rules for his family. And since Bethel is a 'family' - many persons living in voluntary close quarters for a specific reason - there are quite a few rules there. But they do not carry over into the general congregation (though there are always some who would have it otherwise).
There is counsel and peer pressure. It will be (relevant to this thread) based on the concept many have noticed that men and women are attracted to each other, yet cannot enjoy the intimate closeness of sex relations unless married so it is best not to allow themselves to get all pumped up. The counsel varies from place to place and culture will have something to do with it.
If you enjoy privileges in the congregation - servant, pioneer - you will find that you are expected to be an example and you can lose privileges by flying in the face of such counsel as to what is locally acceptable or has been published. Otherwise, no.
Jehovah's people are not belligerent or headstrong and are not inclined to blow off counsel as nothing. Elders are not control freaks or micro-managers, though some are - in about the same proportion as the general population, I would guess. Efforts are made through training so as to get those ones to be less that way.
There is such a thing as 'brazen conduct' - it used to be translated 'loose conduct.' It has the air of contempt & outrageous disregard of customary standards & an in-your-face attitude. That can get a person in trouble. Since it is more vague than outright immorality, it will not always be applied consistently. But always it is associated with persistent defiance of accepted conduct - just look up the word 'brazen' to get a sense for it.
But it is never a matter of petty rules enforced by people who just like to meddle. Anyone like that jeopardizes his reputation as a reasonable person - one of the criteria for serving as an older man.
 
 

Not enough information to give you a clear answer. But the flesh is powerful and can lead one into temptation. 

This would depend on the purpose of the massage. 
If you are a licensed masseur then I'm sure no one would object. (or maybe a chiropractor) 
However, if, as I suspect, you are asking with the purpose of gratifying your desire to touch her because she is a female and your girlfriend than I suspect you would not be allowed to.
Others can weigh in if they wish. And I'm sure some countries and customs are very strict about touching at all.

Will we have the seasons as we now know them? The ice,cold and snow? If what was at first was perfect would not Jehovah place things back in order as it was? The canopy that was used in the flood, no one gives any regard to it. It will have to be replaced, it had purpose, before then and Jehovah will have the earth, not as the blue marble we now know as seen from space, but as a covered canopied globe created at creation to have an earth filled with life, in a paradisiac condition worldwide. Temperatures for that paradise not likely with the conditions now, but Jehovah's kingdom will repair this planet and make sure those conditions are there. Canopy and all. The water is too much now, not what Jehovah had in the beginning, he will put the balance back as it was in the beginning. Yes, the seasons will go on, but these are imperfect things, used for benefit now under these conditions. But then in the new system things will be perfect as Jehovah created them and said they were good, with his stamp of approval.

It's Bolivia.

I think I may have helped to make the title understandable.... Maybe someone else has a better idea?

Get some help with writing the headings - most of them are not making sense in English.
Kind regards

As I've stated, different congregations allow certain things that others wouldn't.
I do know there are quite a few stores that will tell their employee's they can only say happy holidays only because a lot of people find Christmas offensive.

@JWInsider    Shows you can learn a lot from topics highlighting things that appear simple and obvious. Like how you added the information on feasting in general. I learned something from it and I am sure Bible Speaks appreciated your contribution to the topic.

The court has its record for all to see its perversions of logic, reasoning, and Justice.
No one in power cares.
They .... have bayonets, and do what they want.
FOR YOU ... it's all a Play, and you are but actors following a script for their entertainment.
