Puerto Rico a Total Disaster!
A dog looks out of a house flooded by Hurricane Maria, in Catano town, Juana Matos, Puerto Rico, on September 21, 2017. 
?????????
Puerto Rico braced for potentially calamitous flash flooding after being pummeled by Hurricane Maria which devastated the island and knocked out the entire electricity grid. 
?????????
The hurricane, which Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello called "the most devastating storm in a century," had battered the island of 3.4 million people after roaring ashore early Wednesday with deadly winds and heavy rain.

Indonesia has issued its highest level alert for a volcano on Bali, warning that an eruption on the popular tourist island could be imminent.
?????
About 10,000 people have already been evacuated, with officials urging people to stay at least nine kilometres (5.6 miles) away from Mount Agung.
?????
Tremors have been reported, and there are indications that magma is rising to the surface, the officials say.
?????
More than 1,000 people died when Mount Agung last erupted in 1963.
?????
Evacuated local residents are staying in temporary shelters
?????
"There should be zero public activity within the specified radius in case there is an eruption," Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency was quoted as saying by Reuters.
?????
Bali's international airport in Denpasar, which is used by millions of foreign tourists each year, is currently operating as normal, the officials say.
?????
Mount Agung, which is more than 3,000m above sea level, lies in the eastern part of Bali.
?????
It is among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia - an archipelago prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes as it sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire".

What Type of Pain Do You Have? Pain of Heart ?? or Pain of Sickness, or Pain of Trauma? ?????
Pain. A sensation of physical discomfort, whether moderate or severe; also acute mental or emotional distress. Because of exhausting labor in cultivating cursed ground (Ge 3:17-19; 5:29), injurious words (Pr 15:1), the unresponsiveness of others to good (Ro 9:2), disease and other adversities (Job 2:13; 16:6), humans have experienced mental, emotional, and physical pain. Dreadful or frightening situations, whether real or visionary, have likewise given rise to pain. ‘No More Pain.Â’
?????
Although unpleasant, the physical sensation of pain serves a beneficial purpose by alerting a person to danger regarding bodily damage and thereby enables him to take steps to avoid serious injury. The fulfillment of God’s promise that “neither will . . . pain be anymore” (Re 21:4), therefore, could not mean that humans would become insensitive to or incapable of experiencing pain.
?????
Rather, mental, emotional, and physical pain that has resulted from sin and imperfection (Ro 8:21, 22) will ‘be no more’ in the sense that its causes (such as disease and death) will be removed.
?????
That bodily perfection does not of itself require absolute painlessness is verified by the fact that even the perfect man Jesus experienced physical and emotional pain in connection with his death and the unresponsiveness of those to whom he ministered. (Mt 26:37; Lu 19:41)
?????
It was even foretold that he would be “a man meant for pains.” (Isa 53:3) By curing those “distressed with various diseases and torments” (Mt 4:24), Jesus bore the pains of others.—Isa 53:4.
?????
Figurative Use. Often the Scriptures refer to pain in a figurative sense. Depending upon the context, it may denote hard work (Pr 5:10) or a wholesome fear and awesome regard for Jehovah God. (1Ch 16:30; Ps 96:9; 114:7)
?????
Waters, mountains, and the earth, when in a state of agitation, are described as being in pain. (Ps 77:16; 97:4; Jer 51:29; Hab 3:10) Pains, or pangs, can also denote a distressing circumstance.
?????
With reference to Jesus Christ, the apostle Peter stated: “God resurrected him by loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to continue to be held fast by it.” (Ac 2:24) Although the dead are not conscious, death is a bitter and distressing circumstance, both in the pain that often precedes it and in the loss of all activity and freedom that its paralyzing grip brings.
?????
 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.+ 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,+ and death will be no more,+ neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.+ The former things have passed away.”–Revelation 21:3,4.
?????
Lesson for today. (Romans 8:21, 22)

Amazing Day and Feeling Blessed!
?????
What an amazing day. What an exciting day at the craft fair Pretoria Woodlands mall ,Yes disappointing as top mall management shut us down due to them feeling we fall in the category of presenting Religious propaganda, despite this set back what a fantastic fruitful witness was given thanks to all the volunteers today. 
?????
We were able to run our JW unit from 8am till 5m today whilst arranging the shutdown . Well over 1000 items of literature was taken We now look to Jehovah directing us to the next project. Today was no doubt very much successful . 
?????
We started 2 bible studies , assisted in reactivating a cooled down witness and assisted in reactivating someone who studied for sometime but lost contact with the witnesses. 
?????
We no doubt the talk of the mall and happy that people are hearing Jehovahs name . We Keep smiling , stay happy and continue to look to Jehovah for the next preaching opportunity.
?????
Thank you @kvkellylee

Don't know how else to name this topic.
One of the hard things about being Christian is putting up with the handful of crazy people in our ranks.
The story broke after there was an "arson attack" on one of our halls.. there was a big gasp of anxiety among brothers I know to begin with, until I saw the pictures...
http://www.ksta.de/panorama/menden-im-sauerland-brandanschlag-auf-zeugen-jehovas---raetsel-um-weisses-pulver-28358168
 
 
The State Security Agency (I suppose it's similar to Homeland Security) quickly had begun investigating the case because there had already been some minor attacks on the same hall with graffiti and minor damages.
Later, the story was amended
https://www.wa.de/nordrhein-westfalen/anschlag-zeugen-jehovas-menden-festnahme-noch-montagabend-8655697.html
 
 

 
Another report indicates the silly woman was quickly identified to the police by brothers who had video surveillance material of her carrying out the arson attack and was arrested the moment she arrived at her home on her bicycle, after which her bicycle was examined revealing traces of the charcoal lighters on her bicycle.
Supposedly she did not feel accepted in the community and had an argument with somebody or something.
No major damage was done but she obviously caused a huge circus. Not to mention all the embarassment and putting shame on Jehovah's name.  A lot of the comments from worldly people on facebook are along the lines of "The poor helpless lady probably lost everything to this wicked sect and couldn't think of any other way to fight back" and comments from brothers of course are all along the lines of assuming persecution.
So, a very negative and sad piece of news but I felt the need to share to get the full story across. Probably only half the story is going around facebook, instagram, whatsapp and so on.. the perpetrator in this case was just a nutty, frustrated "community member" (whatever that means, sister, study, interested person, I don't know).

These things for some test our faith. We can pray for the person who committed this crime as well as against Jehovah by defacing His place of worship. We are not exempt from problems arising from even with in the congregation.  Her motives of her heart were 'revealed' in this action. She does not sound like she is mentally sound. Unfortunately, this too happens in the world and within. 
But we know the truth. Yes at times, our brothers and sisters or people associating with the witnesses will allow themselves to be handed over to 'mental darkness.'  However, I will respond that we pray for this woman.  What she thought was certainly brought forward!  
Nothing remains concealed forever in Jehovah's organization. I hope she gets the help she needs.  This kind of act may have some medical underlying issues.  
Thank you for your threads. I am really enjoying your reports!  

KEEP YOUR FAITH STRONG! "Without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing to God.’"–(Hebrews 11:6) 
How Strong Is Your Faith?
“It is by your faith that you are standing.”—2 CORINTHIANS 1:24.
PROPER BALANCE IN RENDERING OTHERS HONOR
???????????
Balance is needed in determining what kind of honor should be rendered to other humans and to what extent. Most imperfect humans are strongly influenced by the spirit of SatanÂ’s world. That is why people tend to idolize certain men or women rather than just show them appropriate honor and respect. They place religious and political leaders, sports figures, entertainment stars, and other celebrities on pedestals, often considering them to be almost superhuman. Hence, young and old alike look to them as role models, perhaps imitating their mannerisms, dress, or conduct.
???????????
True Christians refrain from such a distorted view of honoring humans. Christ is the only human who ever lived whom we can consider a perfect role model. (1 Pet. 2:21) God would not be pleased if we extended to humans more honor than they are due. We need to bear in mind this basic truth: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) Truly, no human warrants the kind of honor that borders on idolatry.
???????????
Fittingly, Jehovah’s Witnesses willingly render honor to public servants, even as it may be expected and as may be customary in the land. We cooperate with them as they perform their duties. Of course, our honor and support have reasonable, Scriptural limits. We cannot go to the point of disobeying God or violating our Christian neutrality.—Read 1 Peter 2:13-17.
???????????
The world is full of people whose sense of how to bestow honor is distorted. We are truly grateful to know how to give honor JehovahÂ’s way.

Don’t cry over spilled ... vodka? A tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pints of vodka rolled over in Interstate 70 in Clayton, North Carolina.
And the load was so heavy that when crews tried to put the trailer back on its wheels, the bottles of booze bent the truckÂ’s body, WRAL reported.
Crews had to remove each box of vodka from the truck by hand nearly 12 hours after the crash, The Associated Press reported.
Police said that the driver, Johnathan Davis Crissy didnÂ’t secure the load and it shifted when he navigated a turn, WRAL reported.
The North Carolina State Highway patrol conducted a weight inspection and faulted the driver, 33-year-old Johnathan Davis Chrissy, of Kingsland, Georgia, for the crash. Troopers said Chrissy did not lock down the load, causing it to shift in the trailer when he took the turn onto Shotwell.
Funny! ????

Joshua Lambus dives five miles out from hawaii’s big island at night, dropping about sixty feet below the surface, sans tether, with another ten thousand vertigo inducing feet below him, in order photograph these light sensitive pelagic animals.
??????
in what is the largest migration of any group of animals on the planet, thousands of these creatures, who live in total darkness during the day, make their way to the surface at night, where they can absorb more oxygen or feed in the more nutrient dense waters.
??????
Though many of these species have never been seen before or identified, lambus considers the fourth photo to be his favourite, which, after three years of inquiry, he learned shows an octopus that has torn off the poisonous tentacles of a portugese man of war (featured here) so to ward off its own would be predators.

A PSALMIST exclaimed: “How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.” (Ps. 104:24)
??????
GodÂ’s wisdom is evident in the interdependence of the millions of varieties of plants, insects, animals, and bacteria in earthÂ’s amazingly complex web of life. Also, in your body, thousands of different mechanisms, from large organs to tiny molecular machines in your cells, all work together to make you a whole and healthy person.

What a Blessing for all living life in oceans and on earth!
 

Stay in Jehovah’s Valley of Protection
“Jehovah will . . . war against those nations as in the day of his warring, in the day of fight.”—ZECH. 14:3.
???????????
ON October 30, 1938, millions of people in the United States were listening to a popular radio program that featured theatrical plays. The performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. Actors portraying news announcers described the landing of an invasion force from Mars that would cause widespread destruction on Earth. Although it had been announced that the radio program was a play, many listeners thought that the attack was real and became frightened. Some even took certain measures in an attempt to protect themselves from imaginary aliens.
???????????
Today there is a real war looming on the horizon. However, people are failing to respond to its approach. This war is foretold, not in a science fiction novel, but in God’s inspired Word, the Bible. It is the war of Armageddon—God’s war against this wicked system of things. (Rev. 16:14-16) In this war, God’s servants on earth will not need to defend themselves against aliens from another planet. Still, they will be awestruck by astonishing events and by the fear-inspiring display of God’s power.
???????????
Although God’s people were outnumbered, misrepresented, opposed, and persecuted at the hands of the attackers, true worship could not be crushed out of existence. There were “the remaining ones of the people,” that is, the anointed remnant who loyally refused to be “cut off from the city.”
???????????
When the symbolic mountain splits, half to the north and half to the south, Jehovah’s feet remain set upon both mountains. “A very great valley” comes into existence beneath Jehovah’s feet. This symbolic valley represents divine protection, by which Jehovah’s servants find safety under his universal sovereignty and his Son’s Messianic Kingdom. Jehovah will make sure that pure worship will never be snuffed out. When did this division of the mountain of the olive trees take place? It occurred when the Messianic Kingdom was established at the end of the Gentile Times in 1914. 
???????????
If we stick to Jehovah and stand firm in the truth, he and his Son, Jesus Christ, will do their part, and God will not allow anyone or anything to ‘snatch us out of His hand.’ (John 10:28, 29) Jehovah is ready to extend whatever help is needed so that we may obey him as the Universal Sovereign and remain loyal subjects of the Messianic Kingdom. It is imperative that we remain in the valley of protection, for that valley will take on even greater meaning for true worshippers during the fast-approaching great tribulation.
???????????
As the end of this system of things draws closer, Satan will intensify his attacks upon Jehovah’s servants. Then will come “the day of [God’s] warring” against his enemies. Jehovah will make sure that one of Satan’s attacks will prove to be his last. On that day, the Sovereign of the universe will distinguish himself as a Warrior more gloriously than he has during any previous “day of fight.”—Zech. 14:3.
???????????
Under JehovahÂ’s protection, we will survive the end of this wicked system of things and enter into GodÂ’s righteous new world. Though we are objects of hatred by all the nations, let us be resolved to remain loyal subjects of GodÂ’s Kingdom, ever determined to stay in JehovahÂ’s valley of protection.

“Be Courageous . . . and Go to Work” ?????
“Be courageous and strong and go to work. Do not be afraid or be terrified, for Jehovah . . . is with you.”—1 CHRON. 28:20.
?????
Joseph, Rahab, Jesus, and the apostles displayed an inner strength that motivated them to perform good works. Their courage was not overconfidence. It came from reliance on Jehovah. We too face circumstances that require courage. Rather than rely on ourselves, we must rely on Jehovah. (Read 2 Timothy 1:7.)
???????
King David reminded Solomon that Jehovah would be with him until the work of building the temple was finished. (1 Chron. 28:20) With his father’s words impressed on his mind and heart, Solomon did not allow his youth and inexperience to become an obstacle. He showed great courage, went to work, and with Jehovah’s help completed the magnificent temple in seven and a half years.
As Jehovah helped Solomon, he can help us to be courageous and to accomplish our work, both in our family and in the congregation. (Isa. 41:10, 13) When we show courage in our worship of Jehovah, we can be confident of his blessing now and in the future. Therefore, “be courageous . . . and go to work.”

Can't sleep? It's called "over thinking." What is bothering you? Worries, pain, sadness, stress?
????
"The peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus." –(Phil.4:7)
?????
So many sad things happen to people, humans need comfort and relief. During the Thousand Year Reign of Christ, God “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Revelation 21:4) 
?????
It is wonderful to think that there will be no more pain and suffering. It is even more wonderful that God promises to take away death. 
?????
Try thinking about this when under stress and can't sleep? We are very close to this fulfillment of this wonderful prophecy and you can see this before your eyes come true. 
?????
Now, get some sleep let go of anxiety and just "look ahead" miracles do come true.

Does this apply only to Jehovah's Witnesses or are other groups also having to go through this process? Makes sense that it would apply to all adults who are in a position of trust that would allow them the opportunity to abuse that trust. 

Bit of confusion on the use of the terms elder(s) and elderly, but otherwise makes sense.
Good example of Caesar at last doing his job as God's minister. This can only work to the benefit of the congregation.
And, hopefully, disqualification to serve the congregation.
Hope so.

After carefully examining BOTH photos .. both are in color, as the carpet behind the black and white leaflet is in color ... one does not appear to me to be a counterfeit of the other.
If you went to the grocery store and got your change in Monopoly Money, you could not make the case that it was  a counterfeit of REAL national currency, either ... unless of course you thought Monopoly Money was REAL money, which would only mean you need to get out more.
There is a magazine in Germany called STERN, which in August 1991, had  a stunningly beautiful photo of a model named Petite Pascale, who had also posed for PLAYBOY MAGAZINE sometime before that, on the cover .
When the WTB&TS stole this picture from the cover of STERN magazine, and put it on page 93 of their book "You Can Live Forever On A Paradise Earth", that was not a counterfeit ... either.
It was plagerism.
It was theft.
It was incredibly clueless and STUPID ... but it was NOT "counterfeiting"
If you had a USA One Dollar Bill with a picture of ex-president's wife Barbara Bush ... instead of George Washington ...
THAT would be counterfeiting.
