Perhaps some can’t do this, where it is allowed and permitted I am sure their will be much joy and praise to Jehovah’s Name. Thank you for your support. Jehovah Bless ??????

Spain Exhibition, which will remain in the Castle of Santa Catalina until December 17 On “The Truth Set Them Free” Inaugurated the Exhibition 'The Truth Set Them Free'  On the morning of today the opening ceremony of the exhibition 'The Truth made them Free', on the pioneers of conscientious objection in Spain, was held. This exhibition, which will remain in the Castle of Santa Catalina until December 17, was inaugurated yesterday by the mayor, José María González, and was also present the first deputy mayor and councilor of Memoria Democrática, Martín Vila. The exhibition is organized by Jehovah's Witness Christians, in collaboration with the Municipal Delegation of Democratic Memory and the European Circle of Former Deported and Interned Jehovah's Witnesses. The mayor highlighted the role of those first conscientious objectors who were detained and imprisoned in military prisons. "More than a thousand young people who snatched the best years of their lives for a cause in which time was presented as a judge to grant them the reason." — Google Translated https://www.portaldecadiz.com/cultura/29039-inaugurada-la-exposicion-la-verdad-los-hizo-libre-en-el-castillo-de-santa-catalina

WHERE DID THE PORTUGUESE MAN Ó WAR GET ITS NAME? ? The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war, also known as the man-of-war, blue bottle, or floating terror, is a marine hydrozoan of the family Physaliidae found in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Wikipedia Scientific name: Physalia physalis Phylum: Cnidaria Did you know: The name "man o' war" comes from the man-of-war, an 18th-century armed sailing ship, and the cnidarian's supposed resemblance to the Portuguese version at full sail. wikipedia.org This is a Portuguese man-of-war at dawn. The venomous Portuguese man-of-war is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, a colonial animal made up of specialised individuals working together. It is also known as ‘floating terrorÂ’ as it sails with the wind, trailing tentacles that can deliver a vicious sting - painful to humans but paralysing for fish ? #EarthOnLocation by Matty Smith Now You Know?

RUSSIA INSISTS TO REMOVE THE CHILDREN FROM THE PARENTS OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSESÂ The Supreme Court recommended the deprivation of parental rights for people who involve their children in prohibited public and religious organizations. The prohibition will refer, for example, to the "Jehovah's Witnesses" Supreme Court plenary issued a ruling ordering the courts to deprive people of their paternity rights, involving children in prostitution and vagrancy, hinder their apprenticeship, as well as declining to participate in the work of organizations and damages and prohibited, including religious ones. It includes "the participation of [children] in the activities of a public or religious association or other organization for which there is a legally binding decision of the court to liquidate or prohibit activities," the resolution says. We are talking about organizations whose work was rescinded by a court under the law "Against extremist activity" or "On the fight against terrorism," says the document. https://www.rbc.ru/society/14/11/2017/5a0a99ee9a79474cec9f26da

FOX TELEVISION CHAIN, MAKES A SMALL REPORT ON THE NEW WORLDWIDE JEHOVAHS WITNESSESÂ HEADQUARTERS IN WARWICK. (CONTAINS VIDEO) About 40 miles northwest of a bustling New York City, a 45-acre complex sits on a quiet lake in Warwick, New York. "Our main purpose is not to convert, but to give people the opportunity to see what the Bible says," said Bryce Hemmelgarn, a spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses. The new world headquarters, which opened last year, houses approximately 800 Jehovah's Witnesses, who are volunteers who live, eat and work here. "I work here during the day, but most people work from 8 to 5, too, I can go shopping on weekends if I want," said Iliana Markopoulos, 25, a computer programmer for the organization. "I can do what any normal person can do, I just have the great opportunity to live and work very close to each other." "It is primarily a religion, it is our faith, we identify ourselves as Christians, we hope that Jesus will establish the pattern as his form of worship," said Hemmelgarn. The main difference is that they believe that Jehovah is the Name of their God and Creator. It's also the way they reach out, knocking on doors and talking to anyone who wants to listen. Brooklyn was its base of operations for more than 100 years; 60 of those years inside the emblematic building of the Watchtower in Brooklyn Heights. When they arrived in Warwick to build, the group tried to impact as little as possible in the natural environment. "We planted green roofs in each of our buildings, we implemented rainwater and stormwater control to eliminate or conserve the amount of runoff from the rain that would affect the environment," said Ted Hoffman, facility manager. "We install lighting controls, controls that also manage the amount of water we use." In their new home, Jehovah's Witnesses plan to continue spreading their beliefs and encouraging others to understand their religion a little better. Around 8 million people practice religion around the world. http://www.fox5ny.com/news/jehovahs-witnesses-headquarters

WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU WANT A GOD TO BE LIKE? - LEARN WHO JEHOVAH IS AND WHOM HE WILL BECOME! - HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE! - THE HEAVENS AND EARTH WILL PRAISE HIS NAME! - DO YOU KNOW IT? ~ ????? (Exodus 34:6) And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth." ????? THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WILL DECLARE HIS NAME FOREVER AND EVER! ~ (Deuteronomy 32:1-4) . . .“Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And let the earth hear the sayings of my mouth.  2 My instruction will drip as the rain, My saying will trickle as the dew, As gentle rains upon grass And as copious showers upon vegetation.  3 For I shall declare the name of Jehovah. Do YOU attribute greatness to our God!  4 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; Righteous and upright is he." MERCIFUL ~ ? (2 Chronicles 30:9) For when YOU return to Jehovah, YOUR brothers and YOUR sons will be objects of mercy before those holding them captive, and be allowed to return to this land; for Jehovah YOUR God is gracious and merciful, and he will not turn away the face from YOU if YOU return to him.” (Nehemiah 9:17) So they refused to listen, and they did not remember your wonderful acts that you performed with them, but they hardened their neck and appointed a head to return to their servitude in Egypt. But you are a God of acts of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, and you did not leave them." (Joel 2:13) And rip apart YOUR hearts, and not YOUR garments; and come back to Jehovah YOUR God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, and he will certainly feel regret on account of the calamity." (Luke 6:36) Continue becoming merciful, just as YOUR Father is merciful." (Hebrews 8:12) For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore.’” GRACIOUS ~ ? (Exodus 22:27) For it is his only covering. It is his mantle for his skin. In what will he lie down? And it must occur that he will cry out to me, and I shall certainly hear, because I am gracious." (Nehemiah 9:31) And in your abundant mercy you did not make an extermination of them or leave them; for you are a God gracious and merciful." (Psalm 86:15) But you, O Jehovah, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and trueness." (Jonah 4:2) Hence he prayed to Jehovah and said: “Ah, now, O Jehovah, was not this an affair of mine, while I happened to be on my own ground? That is why I went ahead and ran away to Tar?shish; for I knew that you are a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, and feeling regret over the calamity." SLOW TO ANGER ~ ? (Numbers 14:18) ‘Jehovah, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, pardoning error and transgression, but by no means will he give exemption from punishment, bringing punishment for the error of the fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation." (Nahum 1:3) Jehovah is slow to anger and great in power, and by no means will Jehovah hold back from punishing. In destructive wind and in storm is his way, and the cloud mass is the powder of his feet." (Romans 9:22) If, now, God, although having the will to demonstrate his wrath and to make his power known, tolerated with much long-suffering vessels of wrath made fit for destruction." (2 Peter 3:9) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. LOVING KINDNESS ~ ? (Jeremiah 31:3) From far away Jehovah himself appeared to me, [saying:] “And with a love to time indefinite I have loved you. That is why I have drawn you with loving-kindness." (Lamentations 3:22) It is the acts of loving-kindness of Jehovah that we have not come to our finish, because his mercies will certainly not come to an end." (Micah 7:18) Who is a God like you, one pardoning error and passing over transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? He will certainly not hold onto his anger forever, for he is delighting in loving-kindness." TRUTH ~ ? (Psalm 31:5) Into your hand I entrust my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Jehovah the God of truth." (Romans 2:2) Now we know that the judgment of God is, in accord with truth, against those who practice such things." ?????

@David Normand True, one day we might not even have shoes ? walking into the new world, never mind jewelry! What we value the most becomes us! To me I would rather have no jewelry and stay alive if I need to run. However to me, diamonds ? I have but hardly ever wear. What we value we become. To be modest in Jehovah’s eyes is more important. All the gold is Jehovah’s all the diamonds ? are His! My life is more important than jewels or gold. Now that is more precious is it not? Showing our gold or silver or making a showy display is not what we need to cultivate. Be grounded to the earth, Jehovah and his Blessings if it’s His will that’s what will keep us alive! Thank you for your support! Jehovah Bless ?????

Yes @Kurt the Nations will also learn who Jehovah is! ?????? JehovahÂ’s purpose to clear his name by means of his Kingdom is the main theme of the Bible. That theme is emphasized in the book of Ezekiel, which repeatedly states that “the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah.” (Ezekiel 36:23; 37:28; 38:23; 39:7) Notice that the nations will not choose whether to know that he is Jehovah or not. Rather, they “will have to know.” In other words, Jehovah purposes to take action that will compel the nations on earth to recognize that he is who he says he is—Jehovah, the Sovereign Lord, whose name stands for all that is holy, pure, and clean. The oft repeated promise “the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah” is good news for those who long to see the end of injustice and suffering. Jehovahwill soon fulfill that promise and clear his name of all reproach. He will eliminate wickedness and those who promote it but will preserve alive those who recognize and respect his name and what it stands for. (Proverbs 18:10) Are you moved to learn how you can draw closer to Jehovah, the holy God, who is “a lover of justice”?—Psalm 37:9-11, 28. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2012647?q=nations+will+know+jehovah&p=par Thank youÂ

MANY WOMEN WORRY THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH..What is the real beauty? ????????? ESTHER was an orphan. When Esther’s parents died, a kindly, much older cousin (Mordecai) took pity on the child treated her as his own daughter; he taught her about Jehovah. ????????? A loving loyal bond grew between these two who lived as Jewish exiles. Esther proved to be humble, obedient, courageous. The Bible describes her as “pretty in form beautiful in appearance” (Esther 2:7). ????????? Even when she out of his sight of her cousin, she still showed the same wise obedient spirit! ????????? Many Woman Worry Today They Are Not Beautiful Enough! ????????? Many women have beauty but not Jehovah! Some are not humbled if they are beautiful, they become haughty! Some are like Queen Esther ?? who had it all and a Love ?? for Jehovah and His People.  ????????? They say beauty is only skin deep! Yes, Godly wisdom and Love of Jehovah are forever and that's what truly matters! ????????? Beyond the look, there lies something more important.. Check Proverb 31: 27-31. - Bible Speaks

@David Normand Thank you for your comment. Perhaps in some lands it is widespread part of their heritage? The scripture that comes to my mind is: Christian Counsel on Personal Adornment. Jesus and his apostles counseled constantly against putting trust in physical things and putting on a false show by means of material adornment. The apostle Paul said that Christian women should “adorn themselves in well-arranged dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb.” (1Ti 2:9) During the days of the apostles it was a custom among women in that world of Greek culture to go in for elaborate coiffures and other adornment. How appropriate, therefore, is Peter’s counsel to women in the Christian congregation not to put emphasis on ‘the externalbraiding of the hair and the putting on of gold ornaments or the wearing of outer garments’ but to let their adornment be, as with the faithful women of old, “the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible apparel of the quiet and mild spirit”!—1Pe 3:3-5. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200000117?q=external+braiding&p=par My opinion is that “if we detract we attract”? Perhaps with wrong motives? Agape, ?⚖️?⚖️?

What must we do if we are to overturn “strongly entrenched” false doctrines? ??????? One widespread false teaching that blinds people to the truth about God is the doctrine of evolution. This human reasoning contradicts the Bible and robs people of hope. In its basic form, the teaching of evolution asserts that all life came into existence spontaneously; it thus implies that human life has no purpose.  On the other hand, fundamentalists of Christendom teach that the universe, including our earth and all life on it, is only a few thousand years old. ??????? Those who teach this doctrine—known as creationism—may have high regard for the Bible, but they contend that God created all things in six 24-hour days just a few thousand years ago. They reject credible scientific evidence that contradicts their view. ??????? As a result, the teaching of creationism actually discredits the Bible, making it appear unreasonable and inaccurate. Individuals who promote such views might remind us of some in the first century who had a zeal for God “but not according to accurate knowledge.” (Rom. 10:2) ??????? How can we use God’s Word to overturn the “strongly entrenched” doctrines of evolution and creationism?* We can do so only if we personally work hard to gain an accurate knowledge of what the Bible teaches. The Origin of Life brochure is designed to help students evaluate sensational news reports that claim that scientists have found fossilized “missing links.” ??????? It encourages them to judge for themselves whether such reports really prove that man evolved from lower creatures. It also teaches them how to answer claims that scientists have proved in their laboratories that life could originate spontaneously. If you use these brochures, you can do much to boost your confidence in your ability to give an answer to those who demand a reason for your belief in a Creator.—Read 1 Peter 3:15. ??????? The well-researched material that we receive through Jehovah’s organization helps us discern his beautiful qualities in the world around us. This is sound evidence that causes us to bubble over with praise for our God. (Ps. 19:1, 2) ??????? What a privilege we have to give Jehovah, the Creator of all things, the honor and glory he so richly deserves! Lesson for today. (Col 2:8) https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013763?q=doctrines&p=par

FEMALE Nose rings - Would You Wear One? ?????????????? Rebecca, who married Isaac,           wore a nose ring. What you think? NOSE RING An ornamental ring worn on the nose. It was inserted either through the left or the right side of the nose or through the partition separating the nostrils and was especially worn by women. (Ge 24:22, 30, 47; Isa 3:21) Ishmaelite men, however, according to some translations, also wore nose rings.—Jg 8:24-26. ?????????????? The Hebrew word for “nose ring” (ne?zem) can also be applied to an earring, and in some cases, there may have been little difference in the forms of these ornaments. Sometimes the context makes it possible to determine whether a nose ring or an earring is meant.—Compare Ge 24:47 with Ge 35:4; Eze 16:12; see RING. ?????????????? Though nose rings were generally made of gold, other materials, such as silver, were also used. Nose rings might be ornamented with beads, pieces of coral, or jewels, suspended from them as small pendants. The diameter of nose rings varied from 2.5 to as much as 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in.). Hanging down over the mouth as it did, the nose ring had to be moved when eating. ?????????????? At Proverbs 11:22 an outwardly beautiful woman who rejects sensibleness is compared to “a gold nose ring in the snout of a pig.” - Bible Speaks - https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003277?q=nose+rings&p=par

Just Look Up and See the Stars You'll Know Who You Can Trust? ????****************** Who Can You Trust? Man? Pilots? The Plane? ??????? How many of us have flown in an airplane friends? When we fly from one place to another, we put our trust in the pilot to get us to our destination safely and in one piece. ??????? However sometimes we may encounter some turbulence in the skies,as long as we arrive safely, this is only a small price to pay. Likewise with today's thought, consider the following quote, "JEHOVAH PROMISES A SAFE LANDING, NOT A CALM PASSAGE". ??????? When we serve Jehovah, we often think that we will have total protection from the elements of this world. However Jehovah does not promise that at all, he simply promises us that if we do as he says, we will have "a safe landing" so to speak, he will provide the way out for us even if it isn't a "calm passage" on the way. ??????? Things will always be rough and hard in these last days of this system of things, however as today's thought says, Jehovah promises a safe landing, he will be with us all the way right down to the end of the system of things, things may get rough along the way, but Jehovah promises to be there with us all the way to help us have a safe arrival and landing right on into the new system of things. ??????? Do we have faith that he will do this for us brothers and sisters? Jehovah has never let us down before and he won't let us down now friends. "Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him. For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust." (Ps 103:13,14) - Bible Speaks - jw.org
