  3. NOT IN GOD'S HOUSE 13"Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 He found in the temple those selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money brokers in their seats. 15 So after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he said to those selling the doves: “Take these things away from here! Stop making the house of my Father a house of commerce!” 17 His disciples recalled that it is written: “The zeal for your house will consume me.” (John 2-17) NWT jw.org

  5. HISTORY Feb 9, 2017 08:51 AM ET A New Dead Sea Scrolls Cave Has Been Found in Israel http://www.seeker.com/a-new-dead-sea-scrolls-cave-has-been-found-in-israel-2250097196.html Amid evidence that items were stolen from the site, archaeologists find a blank scroll along with other materials used to bind, wrap and hold the ancient documents. A cave that held Dead Sea Scrolls before they were stolen in the mid-20th century has been discovered near Qumran. Inside the cave, archaeologists found a blank scroll along with the remains of jars, cloth and a leather strap. The researchers said they believe these items were used to bind, wrap and hold the scrolls. Between 1947 and 1956, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in a series of 11 caves located near the site of Qumran in what is now the West Bank. The scrolls contain copies of books of the Hebrew Bible along with community rules, calendars and astronomical texts, among other writings. Some of the scrolls were found by the Bedouin people, who sold the artifacts to antiquities dealers, while other scrolls were found during archaeological excavations. [See Images of the Dead Sea Scrolls] Archaeologists taking part in the excavation said they could tell from modern day pickaxes found in the cave that the newly discovered cave had been robbed. Thus, any scrolls that may have held writing were taken, the researchers said. The scientists added that they think the blank scroll found in the cave was, in ancient times, being prepared for writing. "Although, at the end of the day, no scroll was found, and instead we 'only' found a piece of parchment rolled up in a jug that was being processed for writing, the findings indicate beyond any doubt that the cave contained scrolls that were stolen," said excavation director Oren Gutfeld, an archaeologist at the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology, in a statement. "The findings include the jars in which the scrolls and their covering were hidden, a leather strap for binding the scroll, a cloth that wrapped the scrolls, tendons and pieces of skin connecting fragments, and more," he added. Some of the thousands of fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls that are now in museums or private collections could have come from this new cave rather than the 11 previously known caves, Gutfeld said. "Finding this additional scroll cave means we can no longer be certain that the original locations (Caves 1 through 11) attributed to the Dead Sea scrolls that reached the market via the Bedouins are accurate," Gutfeld said in the statement. The excavation of the cave is part of a larger operation in which the Israel Antiquities Authority is trying to find and excavate caves in the Judean Desert that may hold archaeological remains. The operation was sparked by the activity of looters in the Judean desert. "The important discovery of another scroll cave attests to the fact that a lot of work remains to be done in the Judean Desert, and finds of huge importance are still waiting to be discovered," Israel Hasson, director-general of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said in the statement. "We are in a race against time as antiquities thieves steal heritage assets worldwide for financial gain. The state of Israel needs to mobilize and allocate the necessary resources in order to launch a historic operation, together with the public, to carry out a systematic excavation of all the caves of the Judean Desert," Hasson added.

  6. Perhaps the views have changed or it would be on the website. Some info is blocked on the site. I am sure Jehovah will reveal it all when we will understand it. I will wait and allow his perfect timing. At least we know 1914 was a marked year and soon all of God's enemies will be destroyed by our warrior King Christ. We will keep on the watch! It is soon.

  7. History is not a destiny we all have a free moral will, we can, overcome, grow, and change in spite of terrible upbringing and past emotional trauma....most importantly Jehovah God can help us heal. 6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to Go; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus." (Phil.4:6,7) NWT. jw.org
  8. Function of olfactory receptor in the human heart identified Researchers have for the first time identified the function of olfactory receptors in the human heart muscle, such as are also present in the nose. One of the receptors reacts to fatty acids that occur in the blood, in patients with diabetes significantly above the normal range. If a fatty acid activates the receptor, it triggers a negative effect: the heart rate and the force of muscular contraction are reduced. The team headed by Dr Nikolina Jovancevic and Prof Dr Dr Dr habil. Hanns Hatt from Ruhr-Universität Bochum has published its findings in the journal Basic Research in Cardiology. Negative effect in diabetic patients assumed "This might have a negative effect on the cardiac functions of diabetic patients," speculates Hanns Hatt, Head of the Department of Cellphysiology in Bochum. His team has now developed a blocker for the OR51E1 receptor that blocks the negative effect of the activating scents. That blocker is the molecule 2-ethylhexanoic acid. "Applying a blocker might help to reduce the negative effects on the human heart that are caused by medium-chain fatty acids, especially in patients with increased fatty acid levels in blood," concludes Hatt. He also believes it is possible that the treatment might be beneficial for patients with dramatically increased heart rates. According to the Bochum-based scent researcher, it is conceivable that the odorant might be administered percutaneously. "If the ointment is applied over the heart, the concentration of odorants that penetrate through the skin might be sufficient to have an effect on the heart; there are some hints of that," says Hatt. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-02/rb-foo020817.php

  12. God is Greater Than Our Hearts Talk by CO AWESOME VIDEO ON DEPRESSION, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, ABUSE ANY TYPE! Proverbs 24:16-18 16 For the righteous one may fall seven times, and he will get up again, But the wicked will be made to stumble by calamity. 17 When your enemy falls, do not rejoice, And when he stumbles, do not let your heart be joyful; 18 Otherwise, Jehovah will see and be displeased, And He will turn away his anger from him."
  13. SONG 89 Listen, Obey, and Be Blessed (Luke 11:28) 1. If we have listened to Christ, will we show it? His teaching shines as it shows us the way. It makes us happy to hear and to know it, But we’ll be blessed if we know and obey. (CHORUS) Listen, obey, and be blessed When you hear God’s will expressed. If you’d be happy and enter his rest, Listen, obey, and be blessed. 2. Our way of life, like a house, gives protection When it is built on the rock, not on sand. If we apply Jesus’ loving direction, We’ll build a life which on bedrock will stand. (CHORUS) Listen, obey, and be blessed When you hear God’s will expressed. If you’d be happy and enter his rest, Listen, obey, and be blessed. 3. Just as a tree rooted deep by the waters Gives of its fruit when each season arrives, If we obey as God’s own sons and daughters, We’ll all be blessed and enjoy endless lives. (CHORUS) Listen, obey, and be blessed When you hear God’s will expressed. If you’d be happy and enter his rest, Listen, obey, and be blessed. (See also Deut. 28:2; Ps. 1:3; Prov. 10:22; Matt. 7:24-27; Luke 6:47-49.) IMG_6298.mov
  14. The ‘International Bible Students’ . . . have been proclaiming to the world that the Day of Wrath prophesied in the Bible would dawn in 1914.” It is a historical fact worth noting that, on the basis of the points and evidence above presented, the March 1880 edition of the Watch Tower magazine identified the year 1914 as the time for the close of “the appointed times of the nations” (and the end of the lease of power granted the Gentile rulers). This was some 34 years before the arrival of that year and the momentous events it initiated. In the August 30, 1914, edition of The World, a leading New York newspaper at that time, a feature article in the paper’s Sunday magazine section commented on this as follows: “The terrific war outbreak in Europe has fulfilled an extraordinary prophecy. For a quarter of a century past, through preachers and through press, the ‘International Bible Students’ . . . have been proclaiming to the world that the Day of Wrath prophesied in the Bible would dawn in 1914.” The events that took place from and after the year 1914 C.E. are well-known history to all, beginning with the great war that erupted, the first world war in mankind’s history and the first to be fought over the issue, not of the domination of Europe alone, nor of Africa, nor of Asia, but of the domination of the world.—Lu 21:7-24, 29-33; Re 11:15-18. jw.org IMG_6281.mov

  17. Anxiety and Depression Don't Judge...Help Them.... You will never truly understand something until it actually happens to YOU! 5 "Every saying of God is refined. He is a shield to those taking refuge in him." ( Proverbs 30:5) NWT jw.org
