    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

    FOX TELEVISION CHAIN, MAKES A SMALL REPORT ON THE NEW WORLDWIDE JEHOVAHS  WITNESSES 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.

    RUSSIA INSISTS TO REMOVE THE CHILDREN FROM THE PARENTS OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSES 
    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.

    @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?

    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 terror’ as it sails with the wind, trailing tentacles that can deliver a vicious sting - painful to humans but paralysing for fish ?

    ?????
    (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!

    I remember some counsel related to cartilage piercing a number of years back. At that time it was just getting started and now I see more and more sisters getting their ears pierced on the top and such. Have not heard any talks about that in a number of years. Sisters are still doing it and going out in service and such. Seems to have public acceptance. At least in this area. 
    Same was done with ankle bracelets. Recall a talk about why sisters should avoid that. After a circuit overseers wife wore one that was the last I heard against it. 
    Mainly brothers trying to impose their own fashion taste. Brothers just need to constantly be reminded that they are not the the masters of our fate as one circuit overseer phrased it.

    Yes @Kurt the Nations will also learn who Jehovah is! ??????
    Jehovah’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.

    Bible Speaks reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in WORLD PRESS COMMENTS ON JEHOVAHS WITNESSES REFUSAL TO TAKE BLOOD   
    You are absolutely correct JP .... the blood is Jehovah' s ... and when a life is extinguished, in battle, self defense, or for food ( most people, even Jehovah's Witnesses, are completely unaware that Jehovah NEVER make the slightest prohibition against cannibalism, although he DID lament that people's lives would become that desperate ...)
    When as a child I had my tonsils removed, I swallowed a LOT of blood ... and later, in fights I had my nose smashed, and some of that blood I swallowed. Does this blood have any sacred value?  Should it be held against me that I "ate" this blood? 
    BEFORE an animal is killed the blood does belong to God. Why? Because he has made that crystal clear throughout the scriptures.
    The question is this .... and although I recognize the principle profoundly, I am going to personally perhaps err on the side of caution ...if the animal does NOT DIE .... does that blood have any sacred value? 
    If the ancient Jewish Priests  offered the blood on the alter to Jehovah God from an animal that was only wounded ... would God have accepted that offering?  
    My guess would be no.
    Jesus' blood redeemed all of mankind putting faith in the VALUE of that blood.  TWO THINGS had to happen: 1.) Jesus had to willingly be sacrificed, and  2.) His DEATH had to have shed blood, poured out on our behalf. 
    If he had not actually DIED, the blood would have only been a First-Aid problem.
    For blood to represent LIFE .... it actually has to represent an actual real life.
    If I am wrong, please show me directly from the Bible, and Bible principles, and common sense ... where my thinking got fouled up.
    Meantime, it is not the problem it once was during the JW "early years when we respected Jehovah enough to die for what we knew to be true about blood ... the Governing Body, on the advice of the Society's Lawyers and investment counselors, and accountants ...  has ruled that we can take 99% or so of all blood FRACTIONS, to avoid being sued out of existence.
    For monetary concerns, "New Light" is being fueled by advice from the Society's Lawyers and Accountants, which fill many buildings at Warwick Bethel.
    Here is a main point:  Whatever the case REALLY is .... and I am wrestling with that now to try and have a correct understanding ... down here on Planet Earth it "translates" as:
    If we put those "allowable" human blood fractions into our body as whole blood, we will be disfellowshipped ...... if we If we put those "allowable" human blood fractions into our body as whole blood FRACTIONS, we will not be disfellowshipped.
    With a roll of plastic tubing ... we can have it BOTH ways.

    Before Jesus gave his life as a solution, the blood was also sacred. It is only because of the holiness of the blood that Jehovah could use Jesus' blood as a solution. Long time before ... So completely back from Adam and Eve, the blood was holy .. It's not something it has become because of Jesus' sacrifice ..
    It is certainly because of the language and Google translate that misunderstandings can occur ... And here we have a good explanation of Broadcasting from Nov. md.

    That's right too! But that's not why the blood is sacred. The blood is holy, because Jehovah gave a law that it is his and only his. The blood is the very life. Jehovah has the right to life. And, therefore, can use it as a solution, either in the form of burned sacrifices or as a solution through Christ. We do not have the right to swallow our blood. Or the blood of an animal. It's going to be back to Jehovah by letting it run out on earth after an opportunity. slaughter. It is very important that we have respect for the holiness of the blood. Not only in the issue of blood transfusion, but also in the way we treat it. Something holy. It is Jehovah's, and we do not want to rob him by being indifferent to the way it is used.

    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..
