Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in "Return to me, and I will return to you,” says Jehovah of armies." (Malachi 3:7) – ???????
"Return to me, and I will return to you,” says Jehovah of armies." (Malachi 3:7)
???????
Does this mean that those who have left the truth will never be allowed to return to the congregation? Or does it mean that there is no hope for someone who has not yet dedicated his life to Jehovah? No, the opportunity is still there to become JehovahÂ’s friend before the start of the great tribulation. Jehovah calls out to them: “Return to me, and I will return to you.” (Malachi 3:7)Â
???????
Jehovah really wants those who have left Him to return. The father in the illustration never stopped hoping that his son would return. When he saw his son coming from “a long way off,” he ran to meet him. The father wanted his son to know that he was welcome. The illustration should motivate those who have left the truth to return to Jehovah right away. Their relationship with him might be very weak, they may feel embarrassed, and it could seem too difficult to come back, but it is worth the effort! When they return, Jehovah, Jesus, and the angels will rejoice.—Luke 15:7.

Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in New feature of the Mid-Week Meeting From January 2018
New feature of the Mid-Week Meeting
From January 2018, the Weekly Meeting will include study notes and media of the online edition of the study of the translation of the new world of the Holy Scriptures (Nwtsty), even if the study edition is not yet Available in your language. This information will undoubtedly enrich the preparation of its meeting. More importantly, get closer to our loving father, Jehovah!
The study edition will be added to the application of the jw library after this year's annual meeting. There was an announcement at jw broadcasting, during the interview that Geoffrey Jackson had with the three brothers of meps programming on the inclusion of nwtsty at jw library as one of the future improvements in the application.
Since we will begin the Christian Greek Scriptures in our weekly reading of the bible next year, this will encourage the brothers to make more use of this useful tool.

Alexa reacted to Queen Esther in THE PRECIOUS STONE ! A wise woman traveling in the mountains, found a precious stone in a stream......
A misunderstanding or what ? I think, the little story has a deeper sense....
Mat. 12: 34, 35
34 Offspring of vipers, how can you speak good things when you are wicked? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure sends out good things, whereas the wicked man out of his wicked treasure sends out wicked things.

Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in THE TROUBLE TREE – ?❤️?❤️?
THE TROUBLE TREE ???????
(Prov 11:30)
"The fruitage of the righteous one is a tree of life, and he that is winning souls is wise."
?????????
I hired a carpenter to help me restore an old farmhouse. He had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, the electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me to meet his family.
?????????
As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
?????????
Afterwards he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again." "Funny thing is," he smiled, " when I come out in the morning to pick "em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

6th grader says rights violated when forced to stand for Pledge
An 11-year-old boy says his decision not to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at school got him roughed up by a teacher and lectured by another. Now both are facing disciplinary action for their actions.
Stone Chaney, 11, says he's been choosing to sit for the Pledge of Allegiance since 2nd grade. He said people have asked him in the past about hsi decision not to stand but has never had an issue - until now.
On the third day of the 6th grade, that all changed. "A teacher just comes up, puts her arms under my armpits and snatches me out of my chair. I say I don't stand for the pledge, she just glares at me and walks away," Stone said. "I just feel like my rights were violated. And she was the teacher consultant; the person who teaches other people not to put their hands on students. So who knows what other teachers she's taught her way of thinking." The rough start to his first year at East Middle School got even worse when he says he returned the next morning to a substitute teacher driving the point home and ordering him to stand. She also told him he would need a special note to be allowed to sit. "God said don't worship anything other than me, don't worship any idols, and pledging to a flag would kind of be like worshiping it," he said. "It's not if I have a reason or not, it's my right." His parents demanded action at a school board meeting, now both teachers have been placed on administrative leave.
His mother, Phillina Mullin, said the teacher should not have put her hands on Stone.
"One of the main issues we're having a problem with is the fact that an adult felt the need to put their hands on my child,
"Very proud of my son. He's a national hero right now," Brian Chaney, his father, said.
FOX 2 reached out to Farmington schools for a comment. The superintendent said it supports the rights of all students with this statement:
Farmington Public Schools offers every student the opportunity each day to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance. The District fully supports the right of each student to participate or not in the daily Pledge.
In this particular instance, school leaders began their investigation as soon as they were made aware of the situation, which was the day before the most recent Board meeting. The teacher allegedly involved in the incident has been placed on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation.
At Farmington Public Schools, we expect every child and adult in our district to be treated with dignity and respect. At this time, the District cannot speculate about the outcome of the pending investigation.
We assure our parents and families that when any situation like this occurs, we remain committed to providing an education of excellence to every student.
-Dr. George C. Heitsch
Superintendent
Farmington Public Schools
Although the family is encouraged by the district's recent action, they're focusing now on the bigger picture.
"I have three younger brothers and hope it never happens to them, nobody in East (middle school). Nobody in Michigan, nobody all over the country," Stone said.
Stone is getting national attention for this, doing interviews all day long, and getting attention on social media. He's hoping now to get the attention of Colin Kaepernick. He will likely not be returning to the school.
The school district is expecting to release another statement tomorrow.

Alexa reacted to Queen Esther in Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from the belly of the fish.—Jonah 2:1. / Sat.day, Sept. 16.
Jehovah hears our pleas and understands us even when no one else does. His response to our prayers is a beautiful expression of his enduring love for us. We can learn much from prayers recorded in God’s Word. At times, therefore, we may find it very beneficial to consider such prayers during family worship. Reflecting on how JehovahÂ’s servants of the past expressed their deepest thoughts to God may help us to enrich our own prayers. For instance, consider JonahÂ’s contrite prayer from the belly of a huge fish. (Jonah 1:17–2:10) Review SolomonÂ’s heartfelt prayer to Jehovah at the inauguration of the temple. (1 Ki. 8:22-53) Meditate on the model prayer that Jesus offered for our benefit. (Matt. 6:9-13) Above all, regularly “let your petitions be made known to God.” As a result, “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers.”—Phil. 4:6, 7. w15 8/15 1:11, 12
