Pioneering Strengthens Our Relationship With God
“It is good to make melody to our God.”—PSALM 147:1.
???
When we go out in the ministry, we think and talk about Jehovah. This strengthens our friendship with him. Many pioneers have felt that their love for God has become even deeper because they are able to spend more time in the ministry. This article will help both pioneers and those who want to become pioneers to think carefully about these questions: How can pioneering strengthen your relationship with Jehovah? If you are pioneering, what will help you to continue in this special service? If you are not pioneering yet, what can you do to start? Let us first talk about ways that pioneering can strengthen our friendship with God.
???
When we talk about future Kingdom blessings, we become closer to Jehovah. What is your favorite scripture to use when you go from house to house? Maybe it is Psalm 37:10, 11; Daniel 2:44; John 5:28, 29; or Revelation 21:3, 4. Each time we talk about these promises with others, we are reminded that “every good gift and every perfect present” comes from our generous God, Jehovah. This draws us closer to him.—James 1:17.
???
When we see how unhappy and helpless most people are, we become even more grateful for the truth. People in the world do not receive the help they need to have true success and happiness. Most worry about the future and have no hope. They search for the meaning of life. Even most who are religious know very little about the Bible. They are much like the people of Nineveh. (Read Jonah 4:11.) The more time we spend speaking to people in the ministry, the more we realize how well Jehovah takes care of us. (Isaiah 65:13) But Jehovah does more than take care of the needs of only his people. He gives everyone a chance to receive comfort and to have a real hope. This reminds us of how good Jehovah really is.—Revelation 22:17.
???
If you would like to pioneer and have the same blessings that pioneers have, pray to Jehovah about it. (1 John 5:14, 15) Talk to those who are pioneering. Set goals that will help you become a pioneer. That is what Keith and Erika did. Like many couples their age, they had been working full-time and had bought a house and a new car soon after they got married. They say, “We thought those things would bring us satisfaction—but they never did.” After Keith lost his job, he started serving as an auxiliary pioneer. He says, “Pioneering reminded me of how much joy comes from being in the ministry.” They became friends with a pioneer couple who helped them to realize that pioneering and having a simple life results in much joy. What did Keith and Erika do? They made a list of their goals, put it on their refrigerator, and checked off each goal as they reached it. After some time, they were able to pioneer.
???
Can you become a pioneer? If you feel that you are not able to pioneer right now, do all you can to get closer to Jehovah by doing your best in the ministry. If you pray to Jehovah and think carefully about your situation, you may realize that making some changes in your life will allow you to pioneer. When you start pioneering, your joy will be much greater than any sacrifices you will make. You will be happy because you are putting GodÂ’s Kingdom first in your life and because you are giving more to others. (Matthew 6:33) You will have more opportunities to think and talk about Jehovah, and this will deepen your love for him and make him happy.

“Do put my tears in your skin bottle.” - Psalm 56:8. - ?????
David’s touching words about the skin bottle can also have special meaning for us. 
?????
How so? Well, the Bible explains that Satan controls this world and that he has “great anger” in our day. As a result, there are many who, like David, are faced with emotional, mental, or physical suffering—especially those who are trying to please God. 
?????
Does that describe you? With courage, “even weeping,” such faithful people never stop trying to live a life of integrity. 
?????
They can be assured that their heavenly Father sees not only the trials they face but also the emotional impact of those trials. 
?????
He truly understands the pain afflicting his servants, and he promises to make it all up to them therefore, he compassionately remembers their tears and sufferings, figuratively storing them up in his skin bottle.

Dear brothers and sisters, on the video of Greece, a sister who lives in Athens informed us that this is an isolated case. It was a recording for a show on youtube. But we do not know if he really is an orthodox priest. She confirm that he is a rude and unbalanced person. It looks like it breaks several things because it's against the system! He is also against the internet, but he has a show on youtube!
Hostility and Anger Jehovah will repay! No fear Jehovah is Near! ??????

Note ? 
Man was charged with caring for the earth and all its animals. The Bible says: “Everything [God has] put under his feet: small cattle and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the open field, the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea.”—Psalm 8:6-8; 115:16.
???????? Merciful Treatment of Animals. Proverbs 12:10 says: “The righteous one is caring for the soul of his domesticanimal, but the mercies of the wicked ones are cruel.” Whereas the righteous person knows the needs of his animals and has a feeling for their welfare, the wicked person’s mercies are not stirred up by these needs. According to the selfish, unfeeling principles of the world, the treatment of one’s animals is based only on what benefit one might gain from them. What the wicked person would consider adequate care might actually be cruel treatment. (Contrast Ge 33:12-14.) The righteous person’s concern forhis animals finds precedent in God’s own care for them as part of his creation.—Compare Ex 20:10; De 25:4;22:4, 6, 7; 11:15; Ps 104:14, 27; Jon 4:11.

A Box of Kisses ???
Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. 
???
Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box and give a gift.
???
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.
???
 He yelled at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside it?”The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,”Oh, Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”
???
 The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
???
 In a very real sense, each of us as humans have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family and Jehovah God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. -

Scandal in Greece. These are the ones who call us extremists, the pagan cult of Orthodox.
Our brothers and sisters remained calm. The brothers tried to call the police
This was happening all the time when we were in Greece in the 1980. At that time the priests worked in gangs and all the brothers held magazines (no work was allowed home home but if they worked on the street) the bullied And the brothers were attacked. That's why they stood up in front of the U.S. Army Headquarters of Glyfada, because the American Army let the brothers pass through the army's entrance checkpoint for protection if the priests were trying to attack them.
Fortunately it is rare, but wise to be prepared for people who can be violent

"THE HELPER THE HOLY SPIRIT" 
?????
Didn't God's Word and Christ Jesus say " 16 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, 17 the spirit of the truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither sees it nor knows it. You know it, because it remains with you and is in you." John 14:16,17. 
?????
Jesus gave his disciples a serious commission by instructing them: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) No easy task this, for it was to be accomplished in the face of opposition.—Matthew 10:22, 23.
?????
Opposition from outside was to be accompanied by a degree of friction from within the congregation. “Now I exhort you, brothers,” Paul wrote Christians in Rome about 56 C.E., “to keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.” (Romans 16:17, 18)
?????
This situation would grow worse once the apostles died. Paul warned: “I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.”—Acts 20:29, 30.
?????
God’s help was needed to counteract these obstacles. He did so through Jesus. After his resurrection, on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E., some 120 of his followers “all became filled with holy spirit.”—Acts 1:15; 2:4. He warned them: “They will deliver you up to local courts, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. Why, you will be haled before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations. However, when they deliver you up, do not become anxious about how or what you are to speak; for what you are to speak will be given you in that hour; for the ones speaking are not just you, but it is the spirit of your Father that speaks by you.”—Matthew 10:17-20.

(2 Corinthians 3:1-3) 3 Are we starting to recommend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some men, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2 You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts and known and being read by all mankind. 3 For you are shown to be a letter of Christ written by us as ministers, inscribed not with ink but with the spirit of a living God, not on stone tablets but on fleshly tablets, on hearts.
