    German bishops affirm: No re-translation of Our  LORD'S  PRAYER....
     Updated on January 25, 2018, 16:41
    The Lord's Prayer remains unchanged....
    German bishops oppose a change, as desired by Pope Francis.
    The Catholic bishops in Germany have spoken out against a new version of the translation of Our Lord's Prayer recently criticized by the Pope.
    After a discussion, they came to the opinion that the existing translation should be maintained, said the German Bishops' Conference on Thursday. "The request of Pope Francis accordingly" but should be increasingly set to clarify the background of the Lord's Prayer request in talks, discussions and texts.
    Pope: Not God, but Satan tempts people !
    The discussion is about the prayer request "And do not tempt us". Pope Francis had said in an interview in early December that it was not God, but Satan, who tempted man.
    The translation "Let me not be tempted" would therefore be better. The chairman of the German Bishops' Conference, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, had already made it clear that he sees no need for change.

    ( Nice post and very encouraging )
    Angelic direction in the preaching work is precisely what Jesus foretold,...
    As evidence that this is taking place, some of those whom we approach in our ministry say that they had been praying for spiritual guidance,...
    Consider one experience in which two Kingdom publishers were accompanied by a small child,...
    At the end of the morning, the two Witnesses were about to stop their preaching work, but the child was unusually eager to go to the next home,...
    In fact, he went by himself and knocked on the door,...
    When a young lady opened the door, the two adult Witnesses approached to talk to her,...
    To their surprise, the woman explained that she had just been praying for someone to call on her to help her understand the Bible.,...
    A Bible study was arranged !
    As a member of the Christian congregation, you have the privilege of working along with the angels as the modern day preaching work takes place on an unprecedented scale,...
    Never take that privilege for granted,...
    By persevering in your efforts, you will find great joy as you continue to declare “ the good news about Jesus ” Acts 8:35,

    E dub reacted to The Librarian in Woman Attacks Three Jehovah's Witnesses With a Hammer   
    A Tunbridge Wells woman attacked three Jehovah’s Witnesses with a hammer when they knocked on her door
    Mitchell made contact with two of the victims, with "one hit in the face and another caught on the shoulder"
    A woman from Tunbridge Wells has pleaded guilty to beating three Jehovah's Witnesses with a hammer when they knocked on her door to talk about the bible.
    Kerry Mitchell, 44, of Lott Close in Southborough, pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by beating, one count of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place and one count of racially or religiously aggravated harassment.
    She was also charged with using "threatening or abusive words and behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress".
    But this charge was made redundant when she admitted to the "racially or religiously aggravated".
    Mitchell appeared at Sevenoaks Magistrates court on Tuesday, January 23 but her case will be heard at Maidstone Crown court due to its severity.
    James Nichols, prosecuting, described how Mitchell made contact with two of the victims,
    One was "hit in the face and another caught on the shoulder".
    The defence and the magistrates were in agreement that she should be sentenced at crown court.
    Chairman Mrs Hissey said: "The bench considers this to be unsuitable for magistrates and therefore we are sending it to crown court".
    Mitchell was released on unconditional bail until her sentencing hearing but no date has been set.
    Maidstone Crown court will notify Mitchell when she is due to appear.

    Spirit Creatures—How They Affect Us?
    YOU ALSO CAN HAVE GOD'S PROTECTION FROM THE WICKED SPIRTS - LEARN HOW! (PSALMS 34:7,8)
    7 "The angel of Jehovah is camping all around those fearing him, And he rescues them." 8 "Taste and see that Jehovah is good, O YOU people;
    Happy is the able-bodied man that takes refuge in him." 
    (DANIEL 6:22,23)
    22 "My own God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions, and they have not brought me to ruin, forasmuch as before him innocence itself was found in me; and also before you, O king, no hurtful act have I done.” 23 Then it was that the king himself became very glad, and Daniel himself he commanded to be lifted up out of the pit. And Daniel was lifted up out of the pit, and there was no hurt at all found on him, because he had trusted in his God." But why has God tolerated evil spirits and the wickedness that has caused people so much suffering? That question will be answered in the next chapter. * Regarding righteous angels, Revelation 5:11 says: “The number of them was myriads of myriads,” or “ten thousand times tens of thousands.” So the Bible does indicate that hundreds of millions of angels were created. 
    Faithful angels come to the aid of those who serve Jehovah.—(Hebrews 1:7, 14) 
    Satan and his demons are misleading people and turning them away from God." (Revelation 12:9) 
    If you do GodÂ’s will and oppose the Devil, Satan will flee from you. (James 4:7)

    Who was John the Baptist? - How did he Proclaim the Christ? ~ ???
    (Luke 3:4) . . .“Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah, YOU people, make his roads straight." JohnÂ’s Baptism. 
    The first human authorized by God to perform water baptism was John the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth. (Lu 1:5-7, 57) The very fact that he was known as “John the Baptist” or “the baptizer” (Mt 3:1; Mr 1:4) implies that baptism or water immersion came to the attention of the people especially through John, and the Scriptures prove that his ministry and baptism came from God; they were not of John’s origin. His works were foretold by the angel Gabriel as from God (Lu 1:13-17), and Zechariah prophesied by holy spirit that John would be a prophet of the Most High to make Jehovah’s ways ready. (Lu 1:68-79)
    ???
    Jesus confirmed that John’s ministry and baptism were from God. (Lu 7:26-28) The disciple Luke records that “God’s declaration came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. So he came . . . preaching baptism.” (Lu 3:2, 3) The apostle John states of him: “There arose a man that was sent forth as a representative of God: his name was John.”—Joh 1:6. - Bible Speaks

    The  ark  -  after  the  Bible....   ( for  all  JW...) 
    The dimensions of the ark are given in the Bible. The slave fixes an elbow like 44.5 cm, which is confirmed by archaeological finds. The size of the ark according to Genesis 6:15 was 300 cubits (long) x 50 (wide) x 30 (high). That's about 133 x 22 x 13 meters. According to biblical history, the ark had three floors. Each apartment had an area of 2,926 m². This leads us to a total area of 8,778 m² (2,926 x 3)
    In comparison, a football pitch in the Bundesliga in Germany has an area of 7,140 m². If we add the area behind the gate (about 3 meters) and next to the side lines (about 1.5 meters). ), this results in 7,881 m². It's not exactly the area of the ark that's even bigger, but to get a rough idea of the size, the comparison should be sufficient.

    E dub reacted to the Sower of Seed in Noah's Ark   
    The Ark must of been rectangular, like a shoe box the size of a football field. Many depictions of a large ship with a bow would have compromised the inner cubic footage.The ark in Kentucky,USA is an example of this error.  The ark was covered in black tar, they had no machinery to plane the timbers they used in the construction, the tar would fill the gaps in the timbers. There were no baby dinosaurs on the ark as some depict it.The event took place in 2370 B.C.E., the dinosaurs had died off long before then.
    The ark was a great witness to the people,but what was their attitude? God Loves Us and won't destroy us? Why did God speak to you Noah? Did Jehovah Know there would be apathy towards the Ark? Was there room for another 1000 people? The correlation of the people's attitude then and today, as Jesus brought out at Mathew 24:36-40, is accurate.

    E dub reacted to Bible Speaks in Jehovah’s Witness actively do their part in American Fork   
    PRESS ARTICLE DEDICATED TO A CONGREGATION OF THE UNITED STATES.
    THE ARTICLE SAYS:
    The congregation gets up and joins in a song. They take turns sharing thoughts and answering questions from "The Watchtower". They enthusiastically help visitors by helping them find the Scriptures, songs and passages of their journals.
    Members of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Utah County are few, but they live their faith devoutly. In fact, the congregation is small, but the Witnesses still spend time trying to spread their beliefs. The American Fork congregation is one of four listed by denomination in Utah County. Others are found in Provo, Orem and Spanish Fork.
    Jehovah's Witnesses honor Jehovah, whom they believe is the God of the Bible and the creator of all things. Because they "testify" or talk about Jehovah God and his Kingdom, they are known as Jehovah's Witnesses, according to the faith website.
    Of course, there is a need for help in the ministry, so church leaders send volunteers to American Fork to help the church grow. Peggy Wilkerson and her husband, Tom, are two of those volunteers.
    "At American Fork, we have a large territory and it continues to grow," said Peggy Wilkerson. "Then, we need help."
    According to Peggy Wilkerson, the Witnesses send time sheets from their ministry to their headquarters in Warwick, New York. Church leaders can see if they cover their area well enough or if they need more people to help.
    These people come from areas with larger concentrations of Jehovah's Witnesses, such as Colorado and California. The Wilkersons come from Wyoming.
    Before the Wilkersons came to Utah, they served in Mexico for a couple of years. Like all volunteers, they had to make the trip and stay on their own. Then, the Wilkersons made a big decision when Tom retired after years of working for the oil and natural gas industry.
    When I retired at the age of 62 and a half, I sold (our house), I packed everything we had and went to Mexico where the need was great, "he said.
    Unlike the Wilkersons, Tirzah Fellows has lived in Utah most of her life, but her father moved to Spanish Fork from Kansas before she was born. Before that, he was serving as an elder in Kansas and moved to Utah to help the church grow, like the Wilkersons.
    Err
    Fellows is used to the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after all their years in Utah. She was the only Witness at her school in Utah, but she has appreciated it.
    "There is nothing that would change," said Fellows. "Just because of how I grew up and how I raise my daughter."
    Still, there are certain misconceptions that Fellows and other Witnesses should explain to their neighbors, schoolmates and co-workers. They do not celebrate parties, or salute the flag, or serve in the army or vote.
    "Tessa (daughter of Fellows) knows why we do not celebrate the holidays, she knows why we do not wave at the flag," Fellows said. "It's not just because I told her, there's a reasoning behind this."
    The fellows said their daughter is very proud to defend her faith in school and elsewhere. Fellows is the same way and refers to the Bible to explain why Jehovah's Witnesses do and do not do certain things.
    Costco Pharmacy, where Fellows works, is one of the places where you have the opportunity to explain your beliefs to your co-workers from time to time. She feels that she has a good understanding of the beliefs of Latter-day Saints, which has helped her choose her words wisely with LDS partners.
    She does not always bring out what is in the Bible to Latter-day Saints, but she loves when they ask questions.
    "It strengthens my faith by talking about that," said Fellows.
    However, he has realized that people ask less questions than in recent years about their beliefs.
    "The ergent used to be fascinated (about my faith)," Fellows said. "They would say, 'You're not a Mormon ?! Well, what does that mean?'"
    Despite all this, Fellows and Witnesses in American Fork continue to preach to their neighbors. It does not matter if it is one hour a week or 100, if you are doing your best.
    "We know that Jehovah sees what we do," said Peggy Wilkerson. "(The ministry) is not for our glory."
    According to Tom Wilkerson, Jehovah's Witnesses grow nationwide by some 250,000 people a year. There are currently 8.3 million members worldwide, and these members are counted only if they are active in their ministry. If they are not active for six months, then they are not counted as Jehovah's Witnesses.
    For Jehovah's Witnesses in Utah, a growth of up to 1 percent is a great victory. It is difficult to find people who are interested in joining, but as long as they find people interested in having a discussion (not in a discussion), they believe they are doing their part in the growth of their congregation.

    What did Jesus look like? ~ ?
    Today the misrepresentation of Jesus continues. Most people picture Jesus as a babe in a manger or as a tragic figure nailed to a cross, with his face distorted in agony under a crown of thorns. 
    Christendom’s clergy have encouraged such views. They have failed to present Jesus as the mighty heavenly King with whom nations will have an accounting. 
    When human rulers confront the exalted Jesus in the near future, they will have to deal with a Messiah who has ‘all authority in heaven and on the earth’!—Matthew 28:18. - Bible Speaks

    Clothing and Appearance of John the Baptist - ?????
    (Matthew 3: 4) But this same John had his clothes of camel hair, and a leather belt around the loins; their food was also insect locusts and wild honey.
    John wore a garment woven with camel hair and cinched at the waist with a belt or leather band that could be used to carry small objects. The prophet Elijah used a similar garment (2Ki 1: 8.)
    The camel hair fabrics were rough and were generally worn by poor people. Rich people, on the other hand, wore linen or silk clothes (Mt 11: 7-9). John might never have had his hair cut because he was a Nazarite by birth. It is possible that, by their dress and appearance, people would immediately realize that he led a simple life and completely dedicated to doing the will of God.

    E dub reacted to The Librarian in SOLDIERS BEAT UP JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES IN LUSAKA   
    Heavily armed Soldiers have beaten up Jehovah’s Witnesses over banned church services.
    CHURCH members and leaders of a JehovahÂ’s Witnesses branch n LusakaÂ’s Kamwala area were this morning beaten up by a combined team of military personell after they attempted to gather for a church service.
    Last week, the Ministry of Health banned church gatherings and other gatherings in a bid to contain the Cholera situation in the country. While some churches have complied, a few others have opted to go ahead with their worship services.
    A branch of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Kamwala this morning decided to ignore the government directive. A few minutes into the church service, a Land cruiser full of military personell and police officers landed at the church premises and ordered the church leaders to stop the service— according to an eye witnesses.
    “When the leaders tried to resist the order, the soldiers just started beating up the leaders. When the members tried to protest, they were also slapped. That’s how everyone scampered in different directions,” said an eye witness.
    The church has now been closed.

    The Rainbow Tree As the outer layer of the rainbow eucalyptus tree’s bark peels away, the bright green layer underneath begins to show. ~ ?????
    Over time, it fades to a darker green, and then to blue, purple, pink, orange, red, maroon, and back to brown. When it reaches that point, it will peel again and start the process anew. 
    Since different layers peel at different times on different parts of the tree, the result is a tree trunk and branches that look like theyÂ’ve been painted with hundreds of brushstrokes.
    The rainbow eucalyptus is native to the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, and is grown in other tropical environments that are similarly mild and humid. 
    Unfortunately, it cannot survive hot and dry weather or frosty conditions, and can only be grown in specific regions near the equator that will sustain this type of tree. 
    It is commonly planted in parks and gardens in countries that can grow it. This natural beauty can also be found lining the Hana highway in Maui, Hawaii, and in swampy areas of Africa,

    What  a  funny  God  Jehovah  we  have... 
    This  is  a  *Happy Orchid*   ( also  called  *Bee Orchid*  or  *Ophrys apifera* )
    This happy little guy gets its name from its uncanny resemblance to a smiling bumblebee; that is if bumblebees could smile. Its name comes from the Greek word “Ophrys” meaning eyebrow, perhaps referring to the fuzzy bits around the edge of the flower. The Bee Orchid is widespread across Europe the Middle East and even North Africa. However, it’s becoming more and more scarce because the propagation process is so complicated. You see, the Bee Orchid requires a symbiotic relationship with a particular type of fungus to successfully grow, making transplanting tough. This orchid is more clever than it appears; the flowers are almost exclusively self-pollinating in the northern ranges, but the colouring and shape of the flower mimic the look and smell of a female bee which entices male bees towards it to mate, thus expediting the pollination process!

    #1. Monkey Face Orchid (Dracula simia)
    I  found  this  text  by  google....
    Let’s face it (pun intended), this little guy didn’t take a whole lot of imagination to name; “Dracula” because of it’s two long, fang-like petals and “simia” for its resemblance to primates. The two dark little eyes, fuzzy dotted eyebrows, and furry little nose and beard area bear striking simian similarities that become even more apparent when viewed from a distance.
    The Monkey Face Orchid is rare oddity so donÂ’t get upset if youÂ’ve never seen one before. It is only found in the cloud forests of Peru and southeastern Ecuador at altitudes of more than 3,000 feet. It can bloom all year round, and its flowers smell like ripe oranges, making it a prized addition to any orchid connoisseurs garden.
