Your daily reminder that you are not a predator
I dunno ... when I go to Golden Corral for breakfast, and load up on bacon, pork chops, fried chicken, sausages, eggs, I occasionally think of the TRILLIONS of animals that we kill each year to gobble up with gusto.
Actually, humans are the greatest, and most efficient predator that has ever lived on this planet, by a considerable margin.
Think about it!

Buying alcohol is not abuse of alcohol. 

That's all far-fetched ....
Almost all JW's buy these things,
why not our brother Morris?
It can also be a gift -
"Have we all read the Bible today?"

was für eine miserable übersetzung , da tut das lesen zum einen weh , zum anderen lässt es sich teilweise gar nicht verstehen.
 
das ginge mit liebe und etwas aufwand aber besser.

The wine in Jesus’ day was mostly “peasant wine”, harvest wine.  It was barely fermented and had to be cut with water to make it palatable because of the lack of filtering.  Wine today is not the same wine as thousands of years ago.  The fermentation process has come a long way since then.   
 
 
 
I wonder what the reaction would be if a JW happened to walk into a liquor store for a bottle of whatever…and found his “neighbor” from the kingdom hall buying up over $900.00 worth of whisky and other alcohol, on any day of the week.  My, how the rumors would fly. They fly if a man offers an unmarried woman a ride to the kingdom hall.  But something like this, would most likely catch the attention of the elders who would be moved to make a “shepherding call”. 
But in this case, a GB member, who had his opinion in the creation of the opening video below, is given all sorts of excuses for his actions. 
I can’t believe JWs do not see the hypocrisy. JWs don't WANT to see it.
 
 
 

I just watched the video from the last post. Very creepy. Seems it should be illegal to post a video like this. GB TMZ. Easily misinterpreted, too.

As Tom Harley said, they might soon obtain a picture with him on the toilet seat.  Give the man some privacy. Jesus and his disciples had wine with their meal.  Wine was like water in the Mediterranean regions. Paul told Timothy to take some wine instead of water. 

Well he is not shoplifting - just selecting carefully what somebody might drink.

God's day can be any day, one just has to be prepared for it. Keeping vigilante is vital, being spiritually strong is extremely crucial and important. There are those who do not understand things thing it is a bit extreme, others, as shown, think it is bullying, on the other side of the spectrum,there are real God fearing men, women and children who don't water down what God is going to , they see what their counterparts do don't see regarding what God can and will do; but sadly, those who cannot see or are weak, misguided in faith are ones who brush over even what Prophet Isaiah had said and so forth, as is with the words of others. Woe to them because when something is said it goes in one ear, and out the other.
God's day will be a great day indeed for those who are enduring, those of whom God knows who are for him, but it will be quite the opposite for those, who willfully knew who God is and does things not according to him or things by means of his Son, who built the church, and in the end, they will see for themselves of God purpose and will be finally realized, both the righteous and those of good and heard the spoken word of God, and both the unrighteous those who willfully done bad while knowing God's Word.
That being said, spiritual wisdom is for those who seek and examine it for better understanding, as is with building up faith in knowing God and his Son and what promises his Kingdom will bring, one key thing that people will benefit from is eternal life.
This is why we must keep walking, for at the end of the road there is promise that was spoken of.
Endurance, vigilance, faith, etc. 
A hint of discernment can show cracks in the armor of those of little faith, and the strength of those who have an abundance of faith in terms of spiritual wisdom.

We have to care and show empathy.  Out time will also come.  Keep praying for the brothers and the community at large as well.

We've  so  many  healthy  tipps,  they're  working  as  natural  painkillers !

Yes, Jehovah wants us to remember them in our prayers and otherwise; though they might not be able to read any thing from us for some time.  (No electricity, lost books due to water damage, etc) Reminds me of this scripture:

(1 Corinthians 10:13) No temptation has come upon you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
 
The time is near when God will ruin those who are ruining the earth. (Rev 11:18) Jesus the King of God's Kingdom will be able to speak to the weather and say "Enough", as when he was on earth and his disciples were caught in a bad storm.  
Mark 4:38-41) 38 But he was in the stern, sleeping on the pillow. So they woke him up and said to him: “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to perish?” 39 With that he got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea: “Hush! Be quiet!” And the wind abated, and a great calm set in. 40 So he said to them: “Why are you so afraid? Do you not yet have any faith?” 41 But they felt an unusual fear, and they said to one another: “Who really is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him.”
 

*We are traveling birds*
We are traveling birds,
We fly to the country with a warm climate,
We carry wings and sunsets,
And in love Jehovah bakes us!
Satan hinders us, confuses us,
Eternal to die, let's not be!
But Jehovah in his love ascends us,
For salvation, forever to love!
We are traveling through this world,
We do not stop seduced by this system!
We call on Jehovah eternally by name,
And it slowly breaks down, any curse!
Satan puts on us, "hates", hunts us,
To die eternally, just like him!
That's why we keep a waking mind,
We do not cultivate in ourselves a rebellious spirit!
Satan shows us the world by advertising,
But being cunning, hide any vice!
It's the most step-by-step, world, mother,
And the eternal world is doing a job!
We are travelers in this world,
Corrupted, deceived by Satan!
We always call Jehovah by name,
Spiritual we grow year after year!
Love is the loudest weapon,
It keeps us on the fly, we always float,
To the land where the sun is eternally,
And Jehovah is God alone!

WOW,  thank you !
Jehovah created very clever & beautiful animals

none of the verses you posted state anything close to having to study to become baptized. please explain. 

Baptismal regeneration is just another of the pompous terms giiven by apostates to a distorted interpretation of scripture presented as a "doctrine". It is not a bilble teaching.
Baptism is a necessary part of the action of anyone  wishing to come into an approved relationship with Jehovah through his Son Jesus Christ of course. But it is an act that, whilst directed by Jesus Christ (Matt.28:19) and therefore essential, has a symbolic significance and does nothing in a physical way to the individual. Peter made that clear at 1Pet.3:21.

My bad, typed too fast. But yes, observe and meditate.

Stop saying "obverse" which means "the opposite or counterpart of a fact or truth."
You mean "observe". This is a critical error in a discussion like this.

The Atlas moth defends itself by imitating a snake’s appearance and behavior. Along with its convincing wing patterns, the moth will fall to the ground when threatened and flap around to look like a writhing snake. 
Amazing protection from a all-wise loving Creator, Jehovah God! 🦋🐛🦋🐛🦋

Comes his....
The fire of Jehovah comes
Over all mankind!
What we've built is good,
Or are they still in the "Dead Sea"?
Fire burns cane, hay,
The whole world, like the stubble!
Can I sit with "fire in the breast"
And have the peace?
I built with materials
What about the fire are resilient?
Or superficial states,
Is the world's decadent decadence?
The fire of Jehovah comes,
A flare, many degrees!
You are a right Christian,
Or a mix of cults?
You love what Agape
What surpasses any measure,
Or you live in troubled waters,
With resentment and hate?
Joy accompanies you,
At meetings, in preaching,
Or conscience doubts,
And are they just rare occasions?
What we have built, now,
Reed or hay or straw,
For who in Jah does not believe,
They will burn with blasphemy!
We built with iron, bronze, gold,
What the fire is resilient,
We will receive the gift, the treasure,
Price of penitent life!
1 Corinthians 3: 11-13

WAS IT DESIGNED?
The Storage Capacity of DNA
COMPUTER users generate enormous amounts of digital data that has to be stored for access as needed. Scientists are hoping to revolutionize current methods for digital storage by imitating a far superior data-storage system found in nature—DNA.
Consider: DNA, found in living cells, holds billions of pieces of biological information. “We can extract it from bones of woolly mammoths . . . and make sense of it,” says Nick Goldman of the European Bioinformatics Institute. “It’s also incredibly small, dense and does not need any power for storage, so shipping and keeping it is easy.” Could DNA store man-made data? Researchers say yes.
Scientists have synthesized DNA with encoded text, images, and audio files, much as digital media stores data. The researchers were later able to decode the stored information with 100 percent accuracy. Scientists believe that in time, using this method, 0.04 ounce (1 g) of artificial DNA could store the data of some 3,000,000 CDs and that all this information could be preserved for hundreds if not thousands of years. Potentially, this system could store the whole world’s digital archive. DNA has thus been dubbed “the ultimate hard drive.”
What do you think? Could the storage capacity of DNA have come about by evolution? Or was it designed?
JEHOVAH  ALONE  HAS  THE  OMNIPOTENCE !!
Thats of sure the solution  ❤♥☼♥❤

God made Adam.  He made Eve from Adam's rib.  
Must be a miracle. 

That's why he's called God's son God completed the rest of the DNA for him
