SUPERMAN'S  SECRET  IDENTITY....     ( A  CO.  in  service  with  a  7  yr.  old  boy  ;o)
A  wonderful  true  report !
A circuit oveerseer went out in service with a 7 year old boy, they went house-to-house. The brother asked the boy: "Are you ready with your message?" The boy answered: "Of course. I am always ready."
The boy went to the first door, knocked, and the person answered. It was a man. The boy asked, "Sir, do you know Superman's Secret Identity...what his name is?" The man answered: "Of course. it's Clark Kent."
The CO did not know where to look, he was about to stop the 7 year old, when the boy asked: "Well, do you know God's name?"
"Of course," answered the man "Jesus."
"Tsk Tsk Tsk" the boy said as he shooked his head!!!
"Mister, do you mean to tell me you know a fictional persons name and even his Secret Identity and you don't know Gods name, who is real?"
"But I do" answered the man "I said Jesus."
"Tsk Tsk Tsk" said the boy "Good thing I came to teach you today."
The boy proceeded to turn to scripture after scripture proving Jehovah's name to the man. The man said: "Come in show me more."
When they finished, the CO said nothing.
They went to the next door. It was the CO's turn. He asked the homeowner: "Hi, do you know the name of Superman's Secret Identity?"    LOL...  hahaha
Yes,  we  still  can  learn  from  our  loving  kiddies  ;o)
 

Thanks, Alexa.  Actually the war that started in 1914 must have been a total surprise for the Bible Students back then because they had been predicting that Armageddon would END in that year.  Nothing they had been saying about 1914 came true though they still say something invisible happened.....'fraid there's no way to check on that.
 
 

WT 1/15/2015:  Matthew 24:33-35. We understand that in mentioning “this generation,” Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians. The first group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of Christ’s presence in that year. Those who made up this group were not merely alive in 1914, but they were spirit-anointed as sons of God in or before that year.  
This teaching about the 1914 anointed is actually one from the past, as stated in this 1968 Awake:
"Jesus was obviously speaking about those who were old enough to witness with understanding what took place when the 'last days' began. ... Even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of 'this generation' nearly 70 years old today." Awake! 1968 Oct 8 p.13
But from some calculations in another thread, the age made be being reduced as it was in the 1980's, to 10 years of age.
Ten years of age, baptized, spirit-anointed, readily discerned the sign of Christ's presence in 1914.  Sound about right?

Thanks for the support, Janice. Good to hear from you.
 

You're welcome.  Good to see you too, and your very well thought out comments.

The borrower is a slave to the lender.—Prov. 22:7.

Jehovah knows that we need some money. But money cannot protect and sustain us the way godly wisdom can. (Eccl. 7:12; Luke 12:15) In many cases, individuals underestimate the cost of going overseas to work, and there are no guarantees that they will make money abroad. In fact, there are grave dangers. Many emigrants return with even greater debt. Rather than being freer to serve God, they end up serving those to whom they owe money. The wise course is to avoid going into debt in the first place. Seek Jehovah’s direction before you make decisions and commitments, not after making them. Pray for his holy spirit, wisdom, and guidance. (2 Tim. 1:7) Ask the elders for Scriptural advice, and show your faith and trust in Jehovah’s promise to help you by following his counsel.—2 Cor. 1:24. w14 4/15 4:10, 17

Me too,  dear Alexa...  Jehovah always has wise, true words for us all !  What a loving God❤️

Interesting about park next to Brooklyn Bridge. I had same experience with my youngest child and his child care provider.

He really pulled one over on her. But it was still probably illegal, because he was also using the opportunity to look into the car and as he indicated: to make sure no laws are being broken.

Offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his name.—Heb. 13:15.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/16
Our lips should make public declaration to Jehovah’s holy name. Deaf brothers and sisters use sign language to render such praise to God. Housebound Christians praise him by letter writing, telephone witnessing, and preaching to attendants and visitors. Our sacrifice of praise—our giving praise to Jehovah by making known his name and proclaiming the good news—should be commensurate with our health and ability. It ought to be our best. (Rom. 12:1; 2 Tim. 2:15) Our sacrifices of praise are personal offerings voluntarily made to God because we love him. (Matt. 22:37, 38) You surely want your sacrifices of praise to be acceptable to Jehovah. Do you find that you are allowing television programs, video games, sports activities, or hobbies to distract you and interfere with your spiritual progress? w14 11/15 3:12-14

The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.—Matt. 21:43.

In the first century C.E., Jehovah cast off the unfaithful nation of Israel. However, that did not mean that he would be without an organization of loyal servants on earth. Jehovah transferred his blessing to a dynamic new organization centered on Jesus Christ and his teachings. It had its start on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. At that time, about 120 disciples of Jesus were gathered at a place in Jerusalem when “suddenly there was a noise from heaven, . . . and it filled the whole house.” Then “tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on each one of them, and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak in different languages.” (Acts 2:1-4) This amazing event furnished undeniable evidence that Jehovah was backing the new organization, the one consisting of Christ’s disciples. w14 5/15 3:10, 11
 

Go on bringing [your children] up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4.

Is that an easy assignment? No! Children are faced with an onslaught of satanic propaganda as well as with their own imperfect inclinations. (2 Tim. 2:22; 1 John 2:16) Some parents have noted that communication is more challenging when their children become teenagers—they may tend to withdraw and feel awkward about revealing their thoughts and feelings. If that is true of your children, what can you do? Rather than force your son or daughter into long, serious discussions, try to take advantage of casual opportunities. (Deut. 6:6, 7) You may need to put forth extra effort to do things together. You might go for a walk or a drive with them, play a game, or work together on some chore around the house. Such informal settings may help adolescents feel at ease and more inclined to open up. w14 9/15 3:2, 4

Matthew 24:32-34 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."
"This generation." Did Jesus have in mind unbelievers?
