  1. Look for the button that says "Follow Member" An example from your profile:
  2. Barack Obama on his Hawaiian High School Basketball Team
  3. President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky in the white house in 1996. This photo may not seem like much but it turned out to be part of one of the biggest scandals in US politics. Lewinsky was a white house aide who became “friendly” with the president. Soon the press got hold of a the story that she and the President had been having a torrid affair inside the white house. The stories were lewd and the movement to impeach the President Clinton overshadowed all he had accomplished during his term as our nation’s leader.
  4. In a refugee camp along the Pakistan/Afghan border in 1984, the image of this woman was snapped by a National geographic photographer. The haunting image was so descriptive, emotional and powerful in the way it captured the feeling and plight of the refugees left without a home, it made its way onto the cover of the magazine. Seen by millions of people, it shed light on the situation abroad and let us connect with the feelings of this woman a world away. In 2002 the photographer returned to the region to find out the identity of this woman, hoping to finally hear her story. After weeks of searching a tip lead him to a house where he was greeted by the woman and her family. Her name is Sharbat Gula and the life she lived since the photograph has been one of hard times. Read more about her amazing story here: Wikipedia
  5. In Vancouver, Canada, two people crossed path in a twist of fate as the infamous 2011 Stanley Cup riots raged around them. The two people were both trying to get out of downtown and the out of the riots way when the woman, Alex Thomas, fell to the ground. In that moment, a man named Scott Jones came running over and bent down to comfort her. What happened next was a moment that couldn’t be made up for a movie. The two embraced and kissed as a photographer snapped the famous photo. The two are still together today and living in Melbourne, Australia.
  6. In the 1940’s, the United States conducted a series of nuclear bomb tests around the world. Over 216 nuclear tests were conducted via the atmosphere, underwater, and space. One of the best documented and shocking tests was at Bikini Atoll in 1946. From 1946-1958, 23 nuclear bombs were detonated at seven sites on the atoll. The one pictured above was visually the most shocking ever documented and was called “Operation Crossroads”. The two tests in 1946 were called Able and Baker. Baker (seen above) was detonated in just 90 feet of water and caused massive damage and contamination to the atoll. The contamination to the area was so bad, they cancelled a third test that was to be called Charlie but was later detonated off the San Diego coast under the name Operation Wigwam.
  7. On June 11 1963, Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk brought attention to the persecution of Buddhists by the Vietnamese government. After previous protests failed to garner attention, Thích Quảng Đức sat himself at a busy Saigon intersection, doused himself with gasoline, and set himself on fire. The crowd screamed in shock while other monks sat and prayed for their friend who, even though totally immersed in flames, never moved or made a sound. The iconic image is one of the most graphic and disturbing to ever be published but it did bring attention to the corrupt South Vietnamese government.

  13. Dear Brothers: Beginning the week of September 19, 2016, the book God’s Kingdom Rules! will be con-sidered at the Congregation Bible Study. This publication will help us to appreciate our spiritual heritage as never before. Those who need a printed copy of the book should inform the literature servant this evening so that additional copies may be requested from the branch office if needed. Any who use digital publications are encouraged to download a copy from jw.org or the JW Li-brary app rather than request a printed book. Please accept an expression of our warm Christian love. Your brothers, PS to bodies of elders: Please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the next midweek meeting. Thereafter, it should be posted on the information board. However, this postscript should neither be read to the congregation nor be posted on the information board. During a portion of a local needs part prior to September 19, 2016, build excitement for study of the book by considering the following information with the congregation. God’s Kingdom Rules! examines what God’s Kingdom has accomplished on earth in the 100 years following its birth in heaven in 1914, as well as what it will do in the future. The book is divided into seven sections, each covering a distinct aspect of the Kingdom’s accomplishments. This publication was prepared with us—Jehovah’s people—in mind. The purpose of the book is to strengthen our faith in the reality of the Kingdom and to motivate us to show our sup-port for it. How can you benefit personally? As you prepare for the study each week, take time to reflect on the material. Ask yourself, ‘How can I show my support for what the Kingdom has already done or will do in the future?’ Starting with the second chapter, each chapter has a box entitled “How Real Is the Kingdom to You?” Some of the questions in these boxes invite you to express what is in your heart. If the lesson begins in the middle of a chapter, the conductor may begin with a brief re-view of the previous lesson. If the lesson does not include the teaching box at the end of the chapter, the conductor may ask a question or two as a concluding review. Although all the numbered paragraphs should be read by the assigned reader, not all the supplemental material in charts and boxes needs to be read. However, the conductor should ensure that the principal points are highlighted. Be sure to encourage all to prepare well and to participate in the study. 20160426E.pdf
