Created by Jehovah God -?????
24 And God said “Let the earth bring out the various kinds of animals, cattle and reptiles and wild beasts”; and it was so. 25 And God made the various kinds of wild beasts and of cattle, and all the various kinds of ground reptiles; and God saw that it was good. 26 And God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, to bear empire over the fishes of the sea and the birds of the sky and the cattle and all the wild beasts of the earth and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.” 27* And God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them; 28 and God blessed them. And God said to them “Breed and multiply, and fill the earth and subjugate it, and bear empire over the fishes of the sea and the birds of the sky and all the animals that move about on the earth”; 29 and God said “Here I have given you every seed-bearing herb on the surface of the earth, and every tree on which there is seed-bearing tree-fruit: they shall be yours for food; 30 and to all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky and all the creatures that creep on the earth, that have animal life in them, all green herbage for food”; and it was so. 31 And God saw all that he had made, and found it very good. And evening came, and morning came: a sixth day.” Genesis 1:24-31.

When a female kobudai reaches a certain size and age she can undergo a remarkable transformation - turning from a female into a male! Once the change has occurred the new male competes with other males for the right to mate with females.

Good News for People of All Nations
???????
“You will be witnesses of me . . . to the most distant part of the earth.”—ACTS 1:8.
To “the Ends of the Earth”
 major challenge faced by those preaching the good news is the extent of the territory—“all the inhabited earth.” (Matthew 24:14) During the last century, many servants of Jehovah worked hard to reach new lands in order to spread the good news. What was the result? Breathtaking worldwide expansion. At the dawn of the 20th century, preaching was reported in only a few lands, but at present, Jehovah’s Witnesses are active in 235 lands! Truly, the Kingdom good news is being proclaimed even to “the ends of the earth.”—Isaiah 45:22.
Nowadays, though, we may not need to go abroad to share the good news with people of all tongues. In recent years, the arrival of millions of immigrants and refugees in economically developed lands has created numerous immigrant communities speaking many tongues.
For instance, in Paris, France, some 100 different languages are spoken. In Toronto, Canada, the number is 125; and in London, England, more than 300 foreign languages are spoken! This presence of people from other lands in many congregation territories opens “a large door” leading to new opportunities to share the good news with people of all nations.—1 Corinthians 16:9.

“My zealous boyfriend is writing his first Chinese letter to use in service.
HeÂ’s Mexican, IÂ’m Danish, we communicate in English and are preaching in Chinese.
With Jehovah’s help his people are able to learn different languages to use in his organization!”

I remember reading in the year books back in the ‘70s how the children were taken away from the Witnesses in  Germany lots of times

I was thinking along the same lines. One hates to make comparison's with Nazis, but based upon the direction that Russia seems to be taking the comparison is easy to make. 

When your scared and up against big obstacles, know your not alone in the fight always trust in Jehovah and his power! Love it!

IMITATE THEIR FAITH | DAVID
“The Battle Belongs to Jehovah”
DAVID braced himself against the rush of soldiers jostling past him. They were wide-eyed with fear as they ran away from the battle line. What scared them so? Over and over, David must have heard them nervously repeating one word. It was the name of a man. And there, standing defiantly on the valley floor, was the man himself, perhaps looming larger than any man David had ever seen.
Goliath! David could see why the soldiers feared him—he seemed impossibly huge, a mountain of a man. Even without his formidable armor, he probably weighed more than two large men combined. But he was heavily armed, and he was an immensely strong, experienced warrior. Goliath bellowed out a challenge. Imagine his booming voice echoing on the hillsides as he taunted the army of Israel and their king, Saul. He dared any man to come forward and fight him, to settle this war in single combat!—1 Samuel 17:4-10.
The Israelites cowered. King Saul cowered. The situation, David learned, had been dragging on for over a month! The two armies, Philistine and Israelite, remained deadlocked as Goliath repeated his taunts day after day. David was distressed. How humiliating to think of Israel’s king and his soldiers, including three of David’s older brothers, cringing in fear! In David’s eyes, this pagan Goliath was doing far worse than embarrassing the army of Israel; he was insulting the God of Israel, Jehovah! But what could David, a mere youth, do about it? And what can we today learn from the faith of David?—1 Samuel 17:11-14.
To David, the situation was not tolerable. How could the army of the living God, Jehovah, flee in terror from a mere man—and a pagan at that? David saw Goliath’s taunts as a direct insult to Jehovah. So he began talking eagerly to the soldiers about defeating Goliath. Before long, David’s oldest brother, Eliab, got wind of David’s talk. He rebuked his younger brother harshly, accusing him of being there only to witness the carnage of battle. But David answered him: “What have I done now? I was only asking a question!” Then he went right on speaking confidently about defeating Goliath, until someone repeated his words to Saul. The king ordered David to be brought before him.—1 Samuel 17:23-31.
David spoke these encouraging words to the king about Goliath: “Let no one lose heart because of him.” Saul and his men had indeed lost heart because of Goliath. Perhaps they had made the natural mistake of comparing themselves to that huge man, picturing how they came up only to the man’s midriff or chest. They imagined that armored giant making short work of them. But David did not think that way. As we will see, he saw the problem in a completely different light. So he offered to fight Goliath himself.—1 Samuel 17:32.
Today, servants of God do not engage in carnal warfare. That time has passed. (Matthew 26:52) Still, we do need to imitate the faith of David. Like him, we need to see Jehovah as real—as the only God to serve and to hold in awe. We may, at times, feel small in comparison to our problems, but our problems are small compared to Jehovah’s limitless power. If we choose Jehovah as our God and we put faith in him as David did, then no challenge, no problem, need daunt us. Nothing is beyond the power of Jehovah to conquer!

Be law abiding; even though men dominate others to their injury and human justice is lax, do not let it spoil your enjoyment of life; remember, it will turn out well with those who fear the true God; do not expect to fathom all the reasons for what God does and permits to occur (8:1-17; 10:20).

Attention!!!, Russia seeks to remove the children from Jehovah's Witnesses.
Press Information:
The Supreme Court explained what could be deprived of the rights of parents
The reasons for depriving parents of rights are the involvement of children in sects, extremist organizations or terrorists. This was said in the supreme court of the Russian Federation.
According to tass, the plenum of the armed forces prepares a corresponding decree " in the practice of the courts of justice in the settlement of disputes concerning the restriction or deprivation of parental rights."
According to the document, it is about the involvement of children in the activities of the social, religious or other organization in relation to which there is a valid judicial decision in the event of liquidation or prohibition of activity, in accordance with the law " On Freedom of conscience and religious associations " and " for the fight against extremist activities " and " on the fight against terrorism ".
The General Assembly supported the project, but sent it for review, and several comments were taken into account.
In addition, the tribunal prepared recommendations for judges on the appellants decisions on the removal of children from their parents. So, family poverty cannot be a reason for the child to retire. If parents educate their children in good faith, placing, they create the conditions necessary for the development of the child, the problems with the money will not be sufficient for the guardianship authorities to take them.
The Supreme Court emphasized that the child can be taken if there is "an immediate threat to his or her life or health".
