Carmen Erwin got a reaction from Raymond Atom in Increase your faith in Jehovah assembly
Yes cultivate your faith by prayer, meditation, personal bible study, family worship, meeting attendance, and participation from being prepared thouroghly, and most of all our zealous participation in the ministry everyone deserves the good news. And we don't apologize if your neighbors house were on fire and you could see them in the kitchen washing dishes would you casually walk over knock lightly and when they finally came to the door say oh I'm sorry to bother you but the back half of your house is on fire?

Carmen Erwin reacted to Queen Esther in SUPERMAN'S SECRET IDENTITY.... ( A CO. in service with a 7 yr. old boy ;o) A wonderful true report !
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)

Carmen Erwin reacted to Queen Esther in Daily text, Monday, September 19. 2016
The borrower is a slave to the lender.—Prov. 22:7.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/19
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

Carmen Erwin reacted to Melinda Mills in Is this something a loving God would do?
I agree that you need to read and study your Bible. When God executes anyone he is riding the cause of righteousness; he is not doing dirty work.
He will also execute persons for saying shocking things about Him. See scripture below:
(Jude 15) “ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the shocking things that ungodly sinners spoke against him.”
(Job 34:12) 12 For a certainty, God does not act wickedly; The Almighty does not pervert justice.
Please consider the following scriptures and the excerpt below.
(Gen 2:16-17) 16 Jehovah God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.”
It is God’s work to execute sinners. He said he would in the above scripture.
(Gen 3:1-5) 1Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it said to the woman: “Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. 3 But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.”
God is not doing Satan’s work. It is true that Satan has the means to cause death; however, Satan said in the beginning that mankind won’t die if they sinned. So how is it Satan’s work?
When Adam and Eve’s lifespan came to an end (within God’s thousand-year day) it was God’s sentence of death, not Satan’s.
When God executes the wicked he is doing His work as he is a God of justice and a God of truth. Everything he said he would do in the past came true. (Joshua 23:14) Everything he says he will do in the future will also come true. (Rev 21:5, 8)
Righteous work – not dirty work
When Jehovah commands his Son to destroy the wicked it will be for the cause of righteousness – not dirty work.
(Psalms 45:3-7) 3 Strap your sword on your side, O mighty one, In your dignity and your splendor. 4 And in your splendor go on to victory; Ride in the cause of truth and humility and righteousness, And your right hand will accomplish awe-inspiring things. 5 Your arrows are sharp, making peoples fall before you; They pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies. 6 God is your throne forever and ever; The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. 7 You loved righteousness, and you hated wickedness. That is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.
(Isaiah 11:4, 5) He will judge the lowly with fairness, And with uprightness he will give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth And put the wicked to death with the breath of his lips. 5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, And faithfulness the belt of his hips.
(Acts 17:30, 31) . . .True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance; but now he is declaring to all people everywhere that they should repent. 31 Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”
(Rev 6:2) 2 And I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest.
*** it-1 pp. 488-489 Colors ***
White is the color most often mentioned in the Scriptures. Besides its descriptive use, it also serves as a symbol of righteousness and spiritual cleanness. (Re 3:4; 7:9, 13, 14) The white horse, as portrayed at Revelation 6:2 and 19:11, symbolizes clean, righteous warfare under Jesus Christ’s direction
(Revelation 19:11-16) 11 I saw heaven opened, and look! a white horse. And the one seated on it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. 12 His eyes are a fiery flame, and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, 13 and he is clothed with an outer garment stained with blood, and he is called by the name The Word of God. 14 Also, the armies in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth protrudes a sharp, long sword with which to strike the nations, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. Moreover, he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his outer garment, yes, on his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
*** w14 2/15 pp. 5-6 Hail Christ, the Glorious King! ***
THE KING RIDES “IN THE CAUSE OF TRUTH”
11 Read Psalm 45:4. The Warrior-King does not wage a war of conquest in order to occupy territories and subjugate peoples. He wages a righteous war with noble objectives. He rides “in the cause of truth and humility and righteousness.” The greatest truth that must be defended is that of Jehovah’s universal sovereignty. Satan challenged the legitimacy of Jehovah’s rulership when he rebelled against Him. Since then, that fundamental truth has been disputed by both demons and humans. Now the time has come for Jehovah’s anointed King to ride forth to establish the truth of Jehovah’s sovereignty once and for all.
12 The King also rides ‘in the cause of humility.’ As God’s only-begotten Son, he himself has provided a sterling example of humility and loyal subjection to his Father’s sovereignty. (Isa. 50:4, 5; John 5:19) All loyal subjects of the King must follow his example and humbly submit to Jehovah’s sovereignty in all things. Only those who do so will be allowed to live in God’s promised new world.—Zech. 14:16, 17.
13 Christ also sallies forth ‘in the cause of righteousness.’ The righteousness that the King defends is “God’s righteousness”—Jehovah’s standards of what is right and what is wrong. (Rom. 3:21; Deut. 32:4) About the King Jesus Christ, Isaiah prophesied: “A king will reign for righteousness.” (Isa. 32:1) Jesus’ reign will usher in the promised “new heavens” and “new earth,” wherein “righteousness is to dwell.” (2 Pet. 3:13) Every inhabitant of that new world will be required to conform to Jehovah’s standards.—Isa. 11:1-5.

Carmen Erwin got a reaction from Tennyson Naidoo in September video sample presentations
Hello bonedry : thank you so much for your effort it is much appreciated! I cannot play the MP4 link let me give you a little back ground. I'm a care giver for a inferm brother and his elderly mother both JWs they listen on the tie in line to the Kingdom Hall when I came into their home they were spiritually low so I do everything in my power to bring the congration to them and with these videos I put them on the tv because he cannot see well anyway we turn the volume down and play the video the same time as the hall. Iv gotten pretty good at doing this. Haha we also asked the brothers if we could hear the brothers and sisters greeting each other before the meeting so we could hear the joy! And they do this for us! Also we started a family study in the Jesus the way the life and the truth book in which we are almost finished its been a true blessing to get to see Jehovah's spirit upon our meeting the watchtower study and the wed night meeting have followed us through the entire book. As if it were a planned study it's always wonderful to see Jehovah spirit at work we also started from the beginning of our song book and have sung 2 songs per study and the song has enhanced each study!? I have been baptized since 2003. my husband, I am proud to say has become an unbaptized publisher recently I can't tell you my pure joy iv also had many other family members come to the truth! Joy joy! To Jehovah! Anyway we face time my husband in on the family study so this brother and sister get to count 4 hrs a month on their time. Another blessing for them! Since they don't get much time to turn in . So you have a complete picture of what we do. And why I need these videos. I also make sure they get to see the assemblies and conventions much better than just listening! Thank you again for your efforts we still got to see the videos on the tv I finally realized that the language was not important since we turn the volume down. ☺️ I hope I have not bored you! Thanks again. Agape.
