    John Houston got a reaction from vandenbusschevanoostjosett in Death of a lovely sister   
    I will not rashly say I understand what you are going through, but I have went through those very situations just here recently, and even with family it is still a heavy load to bear. But let it be known, you have those of us in this brotherhood you are aware and who send to you hugs and kisses, and will pray fervently for you and your family. The song mentioned is my very favorite. I have it on cd, in acapella, it sounds so wonderful. A cup of earl grey with lemon with the cold weather here in Kentucky. As we endure the ending of the system, watching our loved ones fall to that enemy, death. We must stay strong with our hand in Jehovah's right hand of righteousness and watch as they hear that voice and awaken to life in better condition than before, the real life! In paradise under Kingdom rule! Agape my friend, see you there!!

    John Houston reacted to Blanchie DeGrate in Death of a lovely sister   
    Dear Brothers and Sisters, please allow me to share with you one of the email messages I personally received from Miss Moneypenny or Sarah Jane. You see,  I have a lot of challenges that I have to deal with on a daily basis and the depression that comes along with it, could crush an elephant. But one day when I couldn't navigate through the site by myself and I was so up set and  crying,    well,  here's  part of what she wrote to me:    My darling sister, I will not go through to the Kingdom without you!  Come on, Jehovah has your right hand and I have your left and Jehovah and I will help you stand again. Listen to Jehovah at Isaiah 43:13 : for I Jehovah your God , am grasping your right hand, the one saying: do not be afraid. I will help you.  Blanchie you are not alone, we have 8 million Brothers and Sisters world wide and we have a Unique bond between us all - LOVE.  I too sometimes feel like you do, but we cannot give up. You are in my heart and mind constantly and I wish I was in the same congregation as you as I would share my favorite Kingdom Song with you. So just for today, pretend I've come around to see you and I brought some sandwiches and cake for us to enjoy with a cup of English tea.      Her favorite song is Song 60, He Will Make You Strong. (1Peter 5:10)  I don't think she would mind me sharing this will all of you. I loved her so much and I miss her and yet...........I never physically meet her. Thank you for listening and please pray for me and my family.  I love you all. Sarah use to say:. Hugs and kisses.  So to you all, Hugs and Kisses.

    Now come the push. The publications are extreme, the website, so now those who promote these things are to be classed extremists. Let all of us of the brotherhood give this considerable time in prayer, for strength and comfort for those undergoing these  trials. Times are dark and growing darker.

    John Houston reacted to Queen Esther in Brother Gerrit LÖSCH from the GB. in MEXICO   
    BROTHER LÖSCH, GERRIT (a member of the Governing Body, )
    * At the New Assembly Hall in Villa Hermosa, Tabasco Mexico he was Speaking in in fluent Spanish, &  gave the dedication talk,
    “Worship the God of Truth!”
    Just like Song #126 Says
    ~ What happy faces we see,
    And what good friends we've come to be!
    And how we'll cherish these memories
    For eternity!
    We saw your spirit, O Lord,
    In how we worked with one accord.
    And how we've added fame to your name;
    What a grand reward !

    John Houston reacted to Queen Esther in Jehovah’s celestial chariot   
    Brother Lett’s opening talk was an enthusiastic discussion of Jehovah’s celestial chariot as described in the Bible book of Ezekiel. This colossal, glorious vehicle pictures God’s organization, with Jehovah in complete control. Its heavenly part, composed of spirit creatures, moves with lightning speed—the speed of Jehovah’s own thoughts, Brother Lett said. The earthly part of Jehovah God’s organization is likewise on the move. Brother Lett noted a number of exciting developments in the visible part of God’s organization in recent years.
    For instance, a number of branches are being merged and consolidated, which will allow many who were formerly serving in Bethel homes in those countries to focus on the preaching work. Brother Lett urged the audience to keep praying that the Governing Body, as the representative of the slave class, continue to be not only faithful but also wise, or discreet.—Matt. 24:45-47.

    John Houston reacted to Queen Esther in FREE PUBLIC EVENT - MEMORIAL -   
    At sundown on March 23, 2016, millions around the world will gather at Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses and other places to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ, and to hear a free bible discourse that explains how his death benefits us. This day corresponds to Nisan 14 based on the lunar calendar. The Passover was an annual event, and only celebrated once a year. The evening before his death, Jesus instituted a new meal to replace the Passover. Jesus said, at Luke 22:19, “…Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” This is the Memorial of Jesus Christ’s Death, not his resurrection or birth. This is the only celebration commanded by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is the most important day of the year! Everyone is invited! Go to this web address to find a Kingdom Hall near you....  jw.org
