Had the beautiful privilege today to witness a 105 year old sister get baptized and dedicate her life to Jehovah.
After many, many years of opposing the truth she became God's loyal servant just like apostle Paul. It just shows how true this scripture is: Psalms 71:18 18 "Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me. Let me tell the next generation about your power and about your mightiness to all those who are to come."  Video shared by @full_of_vivi from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

~ DO YOU SEE THE TIME ? CLOCK AND CALAMITY ON THE HORIZON? ~IT WILL COME! ~ LEARN NOW HOW TO GET AWAY SAFE! ~
(Ezekiel 7:5-7) “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘A calamity, a unique calamity, look! it is coming. 6 An end itself must come. The end must come; it must awaken for you. Look! It is coming. 7 The garland must come to you, O inhabiter of the land, the time must come, the day is near. There is confusion, and not the shouting of the mountains." (Ezekiel 7;24-27)
24 "And I will bring in the worst ones of the nations, and they will certainly take possession of their houses, and I will cause the pride of the strong ones to cease, and their sanctuaries must be profaned. 25 There will come anguish, and they will certainly seek peace but there will be none. 26 There will come adversity upon adversity, and there will occur report upon report, and people will actually seek a vision from a prophet, and the law itself will perish from a priest and counsel from elderly men. 27 The king himself will go into mourning; even a chieftain will clothe himself with desolation, and the very hands of the people of the land will get disturbed. According to their way I shall act toward them, and with their judgments I shall judge them; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’” - Bible Speaks -

What a shame to do this to such law abiding citizens

A Government lawyer knocked on a door of a poor man dying of a disease. 
When the man opened the door the lawyer said, “I have been sent by the richest man who ever lived to offer you an inheritance by your Father. This inheritance will pay off all your debts, and would allow you to undergo a medical procedure that would cure the disease attacking your body, 
In order for you to receive this inheritance, you must take the time to learn the details contained in this legal document on how and why this inheritance could be yours. 
What would the poor man do? Will he say, “I’m not interested, I’m too busy, I have my own way to help myself? Or would he reason, I love my Father and I know he cares for me, the lawyer said he has a document, even though I doubt that this is true, I will let him try to prove it to me for I may benefit as I am a poor dying man.
 
WhatÂ’s the meaning of the illustration?
 
Who is the Lawyer? (Matt 28:19,20; Acts 5:42, 20:20)
What government does the Lawyer represent? (Matt 24:14, 6:10; Dan 2:44; Matt 6:33)
The Document (1 Tim 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
The reason to listen to the Document (1 John 5:3; John 17:3)
Who is the rich man? Matt 28:20
What is the cure? 1 Tim 2:6; Rom 3:24; Ephesians 1:7 Colossians 1:14
Who is the Father? John 3:16; Psalms 83:18
Who is the poor man? 1 Cor 15:22; Rom 5:12
(It would be my hope that the poor man would let the lawyer read the documents so that the dying man could take the steps needed to gain the inheritance. 
As he learns the truth about all his Father did in his behalf, his love for his father would grow. He would now know all that his Father wants for him and he would now live his life trying his best to do what he knows is best without any doubts about his inheritance.) Please may we all take the time! - ??? Bible Speaks
You DonÂ’t Know Your Already Rich? ?

Two pioneer sisters who were newly assigned to a
congregation were given territory to work in the
afternoon but the brother failed to tell them about
a certain house that was marked as, Do not knock.
They arrived at the house, knocked on the door
and a very kind lady opened.She told them she
was happy to meet them and that she had much
interest to study the Bible that she asked them to
come in,...
The two Jehovah Witnesses entered and spoke to
her over a Bible topic and the lady showed much
attention and interest,...
After a while she invited them to eat but the sisters
did not accept because they didn't want to be a
bothersome and told her thank you but that they
must continue preaching,...The lady then told
them she would make them a taco so they could
eat on their way,...
The sisters kindly accepted and went on their
way,...
After a while they came upon a young man whom
they approached to speak about the Bible but the
young man said he had interest to listen but that
he was very hungry because he had not eaten
since the previous day...
Upon hearing this, the sisters told him they were
just given some tacos that they were not going to
eat and they would share them with him...
The young man accepted the tacos, they spoke
with him about the Bible a good while and then he
went on his way,...
Two days later the sisters learned the young man
they had shared their food with was dead and the
autopsy revealed that it was poisoning...
Upon hearing this, the sisters could not believe that
the lady who appeared to be so kind wanted to kill
them...
When the brothers investigated about this young
man what was the surprise ?...The young man was
the son of the lady who had given the poisoned
food...
This experience was told  by a brother in the circuit,
who was at a dinner that was held at a home of the
overseer of a congregation for the pioneers on a
Saturday visit...
All those that heard were impacted some said that
Jehovah had moved matters and had protected the
sisters...
One of us said that :  Maybe seeing this the lady was
convinced that Jehovah is the true God....
But the brother continued saying after listening to
our comments all this could be true but that this
act confirms that...
" Be Careful Brothers and Sisters " ....
Caution !!!  Matthew 10:16...  Look, I am sending you
out as sheep among wolves so prove yourselves
cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves."
Love you all

Sister working as an assistant manager at Wendy's
One day, when I was working at the counter, a priest walked in and I took his order. 
How much is it said the priest, 
I said, It will be $ 3.79 please sir.
He said, 'What?'
She repeated, It will be $ 3.79 please, sir
He said It's Father.
I said, sorry, my father is working today.
He said, 'You're supposed to call me Father.
I told him that "The Bible says you should not call anyone father. 
He said: "You Jehovah's Witnesses are everywhere" and he left without his food order.
The next day he returned and he asked for me. 
The manager informed him that a
priest was there to see me. 
He asked 'Do you remember me?'
I said Yes, you have forgot your order .
He said 'Never mind that. 
What I wanted to know is, where in the Bible it says you should not call anyone Father.
You're asking? Sister said. 
She then showed him
Matthew 23: 9  Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father,the heavenly One. 
He said, 'I did not know that. Why do they call me Father? '
They talked for a while and she told him she would bring him a Book she gave him the book 'Knowledge'.
He returned on Wednesday and she gave him the book. They talked and read book and drank coffee. 
He came back on Friday about 2:30 pm and said 'Guess who came to my house this morning at 10:30? 
When I said I don't know, 
He said the "Jehovah's Witnesses". 
He had thought that I had sent them, but I said,
I do not know where you live 
He said: They were preaching from house to house.
And he said 'I began a study of the Bible. 
He said I felt that what they said made sense and had been thinking about the things he had been teaching that were not biblical.
Time had passed and one day I saw him again I asked,
What happened?
He said, I was baptized a week ago. 
Now you can call me Brother.
He was on his way back home to Italy after spending a year in Canada.
Now his family is studying. - Bible Speaks - What Joy in Heaven! - ?

DO YOU HAVE HOPE? ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE HOPE FOREVER! ???
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soulÂ…where a forerunner has entered in our behalf, Jesus, who has become a high Through Jesus Christ we have hope for ever!,priestÂ…forever.” (Heb 6:19,20)
No Real Hope Without God. 
True hope, as spoken of in the Bible, is superior to mere desire, which may have no foundation or prospect of fulfillment. It is also better than mere expectation, because that which is expected is not always desirable.
The Bible shows that the people of the world in general have no real, solidly based hope; mankind is going into death, and without knowledge of a provision from a higher source there is no hope in what lies ahead. Solomon expressed the futility of man’s situation without God’s intervention as “the greatest vanity! . . . Everything is vanity.” (Ec 12:8; 9:2, 3)
The Source of Hope. 
Jehovah God is the Source of true hope and the One able to fulfill all his promises and the hopes of those trusting in him. It is through his undeserved kindness that he has given mankind “comfort and good hope.” (2Th 2:16)

Are You Proud? Or Ashamed?
This kid got an A+ for this paper
BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID
who got an A+ for this entry
(TOTALLY AWESOME)!
Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And The Lord's Prayer
Are not allowed in most
Public schools anymore
Because the word God is mentioned.....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached
NEW School prayer:
"New Pledge of Allegiance"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's inappropriate to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such judgment's do not belong..
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles ...
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on..
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of
you before my Father."

A Letter That Touched Her Heart
???????
One traveling overseer remembers well one occasion when he and his wife returned to their accommodations after a very chilly winter day in the ministry.
He says: “My wife was cold and discouraged, and she told me that she felt she couldn’t continue. ‘How much better,’ she said, ‘it would be to serve in the full-time ministry with a congregation, stay in one place, and conduct our own Bible studies.’ I deferred any decision, saying that we would continue for the rest of the week and see how she felt by then. If she still felt strongly about quitting, I would respect her feelings.
That same day, we stopped at the post office and found a letter from the branch office that was addressed to her personally. The letter contained warm commendation for her efforts in the field ministry and her endurance, acknowledging how difficult it can be to sleep in a different bed every week.
She was so touched by that commendation that she never again spoke of leaving the traveling work. In fact, several times she encouraged me to continue when I thought of quitting.” This couple remained in the traveling work for almost 40 years. -
Who’s Heart can you touch today?

Our Creator Jehovah God made all creatures great and small. Genesis 1:20-22. - 
20 Then God said: “Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God created the great sea creatures* and all living creatures that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters of the sea, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” Blessings Continue! ?????

Nicknamed the “seal with a mustache,” walrus live in coastal waters in the Arctic. These excellent swimmers can hold their breath for up to 12 minutes and dive to depths of 300 feet. Today, the walrus is primarily threatened by climate change. Shrinking sea ice means that walrus will need to spend longer periods in unfavorable conditions on land instead of resting on floating sea ice. We are working with local communities to minimize disturbances to these animals when they come ashore. #WalrusDay

Shortly following the terrorist attack in Turku, Finland, city officials welcomed Jehovah’s Witnesses back to resume their public ministry in the town square.

Do Not Let Illness Rob You of Joy ~ ! ?
"Every breathing thing—let it praise Jah.
Praise Jah!" (Ps. 150:6) 
PICTURE yourself waking up wishing that the day would end before it has even begun. You have to cope with physical or emotional pain yet another day. You may even feel like Job, who said: “I would prefer death to all my sufferings.” (Job 7:15, The New English Bible)
What if such a condition persists, even for years?
We should avoid thinking that a personal affliction is evidence of God’s displeasure. (Lam. 3:33) Think of what Job had to go through despite being “blameless and upright.” (Job 1:8) God does not try anyone with evil things. (Jas. 1:13) All illnesses—including the chronic and the emotional—are a dismal legacy from our first parents, Adam and Eve.—Rom. 5:12
Jehovah and Jesus, however, will not leave the righteous ones without help. (Ps. 34:15) Especially at difficult moments in our lives, we come to appreciate that God is ‘our refuge and our stronghold.’ (Ps. 91:2)
So, then, when coping with conditions that have no easy solution, what can help you to maintain joy?
Prayer: Following the pattern of God’s faithful servants of old, you can throw your burden on our heavenly Father in prayer. (Ps. 55:22) In doing so, you can experience “the peace of God that excels all thought.” That inner peace “will guard your hearts and your mental powers.” (Phil. 4:6, 7).
Be positive: The key to coping with chronic illness without losing joy is often in your own hands. A gloomy disposition and despondent feelings can lead to negative thinking. The Bible states: “The spirit of a man can put up with his malady; but as for a stricken spirit, who can bear it?”—Prov. 18:14
Keep in mind that Jehovah carefully notes your endurance. He feels for you in your suffering and cares for you. He will not “forget your work and the love you showed for his name.” (Heb. 6:10) Take to heart the promise he makes to all who fear him: “I will by no means leave you nor by any means forsake you.”—Heb. 13:5.
If on occasion you do feel down, focus on the wonderful hope of living in the new world. The time is fast approaching when your own eyes will see on the earth the blessings of God’s Kingdom!
