    Lost Sheep Inside The Kingdom Hall ~
    She usually arrives on Sunday, and often comes quite late.
    Is she baptized or inactive? 
    That’s the question for debate.
    Few folks try to know her; some wonder and just stare.
    No one tries to dig down deep, to see who’s really there. 
    In her purse is a funeral program, that is ragged ’round the ears.
    It is yellow and all wrinkled; been soaked with many tears.
    She's looked at it many times, and knows the resurrection hope. 
    But she still mourns her daughter; sometimes she just can't cope. 
    Many people wonder, but no one ever makes a call.
    She's one of the lost sheep, sitting in your Kingdom Hall. 
    Her uncle used to rape her, when she was just a child.
    Her mother did not believe her, and said she was just wild.
    Jehovah blessed her … and now she has the Truth. 
    But she still lives with all the scars, of a stolen youth.
    They say she's mean and moody, so no one bothers her to call. 
    She's one of the lost sheep, sitting in the Kingdom Hall. 
    She comes to all the meetings, service, even mingles with the friends. 
    But once she goes back home, the heartache soon begins.
    She grew up in the Truth, and served Jehovah faithful all her life. 
    And all she ever wanted, was to be a Christian wife. 
    Now she's past the bloom of youth, and her dreams have not come true. 
    She's worried, frustrated, tempted; and scared what she might do. 
    You probably think she's strong, and she doesn't need a call. 
    But she's one of the lost sheep, sitting in your Kingdom Hall. 
    When we search from door to door, to bring just one sheep in,
    Don't forget about the ones who are already in the pen. 
    These are all true stories, of people at the Hall. 
    So take some time, look closely--and see who needs a call. 
    We remember the youth, the sick, single parents and the old,
    But can we also try add. the others in our fold? 
    Remember that Jehovah, doesn't want anyone to fall.
    So keep in mind, there just might be – some lost sheep inside your Hall.

    Do Not Be Afraid (A Song For Russian Jehovah's Witnesses)
    This song I now dedicate to Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, who have been under attack by the Orthadox Church and russian officials for many years. they have Outlawed Jehovah's Witnesses, calling them as extreme as Groups like ISIS. This original song, is based off The bible scripture found at Isaiah 41:9,10

    Annie Abbott reacted to Queen Esther in WHAT A FATAL 1. LIE FOR THE HUMANKIND....   
    Adam and Eve had to decide what to do. Would they obey God, or would they listen to the serpent? Sadly, they decided to disobey God. They rejected Jehovah as their Father and joined Satan. Now they were on their own, without Jehovah’s protection.—Genesis 3:6-13.


    WHAT  A  FATAL  1. LIE  FOR  THE  HUMANKIND ;-((

    By dying as a perfect man, Jesus could save humans from sin and death. He corresponded exactly to all that Adam should have been. Jesus was a perfect man, absolutely loyal and obedient to God.  (1 Timothy 2:6) He died for us, and his sacrifice gives all men, women, and children the opportunity to live forever. (Matthew 20:28) The ransom is the key that unlocks the door for God’s purpose to be fulfilled.—2 Corinthians 1:19, 20.
    BUT  JEHOVAH  OPENED  THE  DOOR  FOR  US  TO  RETURN ❤

    Annie Abbott reacted to Bible Speaks in IS YOUR HUT ON FIRE?   
    IS YOUR HUT ON FIRE ? The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for Jehovah to rescue him, and everyday he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. 
    Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements and to store his few possessions. 
    One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames ????? with smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened! 
    Everything was lost! He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. “Jehovah, how could you do this to me?” he cried. 
    Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied. 
    Moral of the story: It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t lose heart, because Jehovah is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain, and suffering. 
    Remember that, the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the undeserved kindness of Jehovah. - Contributed

    The Best Life Ever

    This world would like to make me lonely 
    But I got my friends with me 
    We're trying hard to help others find friends eternally (Huh ah ah...) 
    When I would worry about me 
    Uh... This world would bring me down (Mmmm, mmmm, mmm... Huh ah ah...) 
    I'm feeling better liftin' others off the ground (Hmm, mmm...) 
    Look what I found 
    I- I wanna know what I can do 
    I wanna give what I can give 
    That is the best feeling ever 
    I- I know this'll last forever 
    I'm where I wanna be 
    This is the best life ever 
    So many good things yet to be done 
    With these two hands of mine 
    I'll take some love and build us a bridge 
    Connect your heart to mine (Huh ah ah...) 
    When I would worry about me 
    Uh... This world would bring me down (Mmm, mmm... Huh huh huh huh huh huh...)

    This kind of life gets better every day, every day, every way 
    Oh, oh, oh, oh...

    I wanna give till I feel free 
    That is the best feeling ever 
    I- I know this'll last forever

    A perfect bond

    What Means the Most to Me 
    JW Broadcasting - March 2015 
     
    What are the things that I value? 
    The things that mean the most to me. 
    What are the things that will help me to be, 
    To be the person I want to be? 
    With each new day there are choices to be made. 
    Sometimes the choice will mean to be a trade. 
    The times I have can never be replaced. 
    The steps I take can never be retraced. 
    That’s why I want to choose carefully. 
    And choose what really means the most to me. 
    How will I honor Jehovah, the One who means the most to me? 
    I'll give the best I can offer to Him, and He deserves the best I can be. 
     
     
    Never Give Up 
    JW Broadcasting - April 2015 
     
    Father for me the time has now come. 
    Fulfilling the words that were said by your son. 
    If they persecuted me then they’ll do it to you. 
    It’s not a surprise really nothing that’s new. 
    Jehovah I pray please let me be strong. 
    My life and devotion to you they belong. 
    My record of faith will never be lost. 
    I’ll be loyal to you no matter the cost. 
    I’ll never give in to taunts and to threats. 
    Enduring in faith I’ll have no regrets. 
    To suffer these things for the sake of your name. 
    I count as an honor I won’t be ashamed. 
    I won’t give up, won’t turn aside. 
    I won’t give up and I won’t run and hide. 
    Let me be strong, let me be true. 
    Carrying on, trusting in you. 
    I won’t give up. 
    You’ve trusted in me, I’ve trusted in you. 
    Each trial I face you help me get through. 
    No king and no ruler no family or friend. 
    Can make me lose sight of the path at the end. 
    I won’t give up, won’t turn aside. 
    I won’t give up and I won’t run and hide. 
    Let me be strong, let me be true. 
    Carrying on, trusting in you. 
    I won’t give up, won’t turn aside. 
    I won’t give up and I won’t run and hide. 
    Let me be strong, let me be true. 
    Carrying on, trusting in you. 
    I won’t give up.
     
     
    Honor Jehovah with Your Valuable Things 
    JW Broadcasting - May 2015 
     
    There’s nothing Jehovah could possibly need, 
    He made everything from the start. 
    So what can I give Him, more how can I live 
    In a way that brings joy to His heart? 
    Now I know what it takes so with each day that breaks, 
    Here’s what I will do: 
    I’ll give to you Jehovah the best I have to give. 
    I’ll live for you Jehovah as long as I may live. 
    No matter what life brings. 
    I’ll honor You with my valuable things. 
    With love in Your heart, You have given us life, 
    And I treasure the joy that it brings. 
    What more can I do to give honor to you, 
    Than to give you my valuable things. 
    Yes, I know what it takes so with each day that breaks, 
    I know what I will do. 
    I’ll give to you Jehovah the best I have to give. 
    I’ll live for you Jehovah as long as I may live. 
    No matter what life brings. 
    I’ll honor You with my valuable things. 
     
    Glad I've Passed the Test 
    JW Broadcasting - July 2015 
     
    Seems like there's something every day, 
    Some new test that comes my way. (Something every day...) 
    I never know what it might be, 
    But whatever it might be, 
    I know I have the key. 
    Coz’ I can face it if I'm steady, 
    And prepare so I'll be ready. 
    How to act and what to say, 
    When a challenge comes my way. 
    At times it's tough for me out there. 
    And so I turn to God in prayer. 
    I pray I'll pass each test. 
    Everyone that comes my way. 
    I pray I'll pass each test. 
    And be faithful through the day. 
    Some things I know I'll face again, 
    Like the pressure to fit in. (Face it once again...) 
    There will be times when other kids, 
    Do the things that God forbids. (The things that God forbids...) 
    And pressure need to go along with, 
    Kids I know I don't belong with. 
    That's the time I call to mind, 
    I don't want to be that kind. 
    Coz' I'm a witness for God's name. 
    So there's no cause to be ashamed. 
    I'm glad I've passed the test, 
    I was faithful all day long. 
    I'm glad I've passed the test, 
    I'm glad that I was strong. 
     
     
    Give You My All 
    JW Broadcasting - June 2015 
     
    So many choices that I could make, 
    So many pathways that I could take. 
    I know that someday I'll make my vow, 
    How will I know if the time is now? 
    I've seen the blessing that come to those who take their stand for You. 
    This isn't something somebody chose for me. 
    It's something I wanna do. 
    I wanna stand up on my two feet. 
    I wanna answer the call. 
    I wanna have Your help when I am weak. 
    I wanna give You my all. 
    I wanna give You my all. 
    I wanna know You and be Your friend. 
    I want a life that will never end. 
    I know You're real, it's plain to see. 
    No other God can there be for me. 
    Life's not a party, not just for fun, 
    Journey's just begun. 
    I wanna give you my best while I'm still young. 
    To side with You and Your son. 
    I wanna stand up on my two feet. 
    I wanna answer the call. 
    I wanna have Your help when I am weak. 
    I wanna give You my all. 
    I wanna give You my all. 
    I wanna give You my all. 
    I wanna give You my all.
     
     
    These Words... Must Be on Your Heart 
    Movie Soundtrack 
     
    Caught up in circles. 
    I don't know which way to turn. 
    My heart rules; Had my head fooled. 
    Too late, I've fallen in love. 
    To do what's right is a constant fight. 
    Don't want to let my heart decide. 
    I want God's Word to be my guide. 
    It's so hard to break free. 
    This desperate heart inside of me. 
    Makes wrong feel right and right feel wrong, 
    But Jehovah makes me strong. 
    He says, "Know that I love you 
    "I don't want to lose you. 
    Trust in me in all you do. 
    I'll be here to help you through." 
    (But are you making the right sacrifices?) 
    Our life is shaped by the choice we make. 
    We have to realize what's at stake. 
    Right from the start, It's a war for our heart, 
    But it's ours to give away. 
    To safeguard it means our life. 
    Looking back, the choice I made 
    To do things Jehovah's way, 
    Seemed so hard, emotion's strong, 
    But Jehovah helped me along. 
     
    Now Is The Time 
    JW Broadcasting - August 2015 
     
    With our days forever darkening, and the signs so very clear. 
    We must keep our sense of urgency, as the end is drawing near. 
    We will seize this opportunity, to declare Jehovah’s name. 
    And the blessings of His kingdom, is the message we’ll proclaim. 
    Now is the time for preaching with zeal. 
    We’ll never give up or give way to fear. 
    And now is the time, to show how we feel. 
    Now that the final days are here. 
    There will never be another time, for this preaching to be done. 
    So we want to have a part in it, and reach out to everyone. 
    When we look back in some future time at these days at which we live, 
    Then we’ll say that for Jehovah, we gave all that we could give! 
    Now is the time for preaching with zeal. 
    I’ll never give up or give way to fear. 
    And now is the time, to show how we feel. 
    Now that the final days are here. 
    With all loyal ones, surrounding us, we will run with all our might. 
    Then we turn the final corner, and a new world is insight. 
    Now is the time for preaching with zeal. 
    I’ll never give up or give way to fear. 
    And now is the time, to show how we feel. 
    Now that the final days are here. 
     
     
    Just A Smile 
    JW Broadcasting - September 2015 
     
    We can tell a hundred stories; we can speak a million words. 
    We can paint a thousand pictures, but will our heart be stirred. 
    We can often make a difference, with a kindly word or deed. 
    But sometimes just a smile is all we really need. 
    Just a smile… can lift a weary heart. 
    Just a smile… can help us make a start. 
    When you’ve done your best, praying you’ll succeed. 
    Then you will see, a smile is what we need. 
    This world is unforgiving, full of coldness and despair. 
    Many hopes are disappointed, by a world that doesn’t care. 
    And we see it in their faces, as they passes on the street. 
    So we offer a hope and comfort, to the people that we meet. 
    Just a smile… can lift a weary heart. 
    Just a smile… can help us make a start. 
    When you’ve done your best, praying you’ll succeed. 
    Then you will see, a smile is what we need. 
    At times we feel downhearted, when no one seems to care. 
    About the hope we offer, or the message that we bear. 
    For some hearts that’s just too hardened, to receive the Kingdom seed. 
    But could it be a friendly smile, is what they really need. 
    Just a smile… can lift a weary heart. 
    Just a smile… can help us make a start. 
    When you’ve done your best, praying you’ll succeed. 
    Then you will see, a smile is what we need. 
     
     
     
    Finding Treasures 
    JW Broadcasting - October 2015 
     
    In my reading and my study, 
    There are treasures that I find. 
    When I'm searching, digging deeper, 
    When I take a little time. 
    In my imagination I am in the scene. 
    It helps me understand just what the Bible means 
    Imagination and meditation, 
    These are the things that help me see. 
    They give me insight to help me do right, 
    And be the person I should be. 
    The person I should be. 
    I can ponder on the people, 
    Some were faithful, some were not. 
    Their example gives me insight 
    To God's feelings and his thoughts. 
    Sometimes my meditation makes me realize, 
    How I can be more pleasing in Jehovah's eyes. 
    Imagination and meditation, 
    These are the things that help us see. 
    They give me insight to help us do right, 
    And be the persons we should be. 
    The persons we should be. 
    Imagination and meditation...

    Annie Abbott reacted to Queen Esther in WORLD CAMPAIGN ASKING FOR OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PATIENCE ! ( more..)   
    WORLD CAMPAIGN ASKING FOR OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PATIENCE....
    Numerous world events are developing at high speed. Some notably affect our people, as is persecution in Russia, among other countries.
    Numerous brothers and sisters wonder if all this is definitive fulfillment of prophecies. Until when, Jehovah?  They begin to wonder.
    The reality is, that our slave always attentive to our spiritual needs, has prepared a number of the Watchtower with August, in which two articles are considered priority way ANIMING TO PATIENCE.
    We must be willing to have patience waiting for SAFE JEHOVAH'S  INTERVENTION.  It may surprise us, that the slave is waiting for Jehovah to do THINGS WE DO NOT EXPECT.  We know, it will work for us.
    The slave warns that Jehovah will OFFEND him, let us wait reluctantly, complaining that it is taking too long. World rulers feel secure in attacking our people because they do not see Jehovah anywhere. But Jehovah rejected Saul when he had been a little more than two years as king, but allowed him to continue to rule until he died, 38 years later.
    Why do you allow brothers to suffer persecution as in Russia? The apostle Paul, being in the city of Troas, was moved to go to Macedonia to preach. Paul obeyed immediately, seeing that it was the will of Jehovah. But nothing more to get, they put him in jail. Paul evidently felt as confused as ours in Russia.

    Annie Abbott reacted to Bible Speaks in Jehovah God You Are Our Refuge and Strength??⚔️??   
    Psalms   ???⚔️???
    46 "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress. 
    2 "That is why we will not fear, though the earth undergoes change, Though the mountains topple into the depths of the sea,  
    3 Though its waters roar and foam over, Though the mountains rock on account of its turbulence. (Selah) 
    4 There is a river the streams of which make the city of God rejoice,The holy grand tabernacle of the Most High.
     5 "God is in the city; it cannot be overthrown. God will come to its aid at the break of dawn.
     6 "The nations were in an uproar, the kingdoms were overthrown; He raised his voice, and the earth melted.
     7 "Jehovah of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our secure refuge. (Selah)
     8 "Come and witness the activities of Jehovah, How he has done astonishing things on the earth.
     9 "He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;He burns the military wagons with fire."
    10 “Give in and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.”
    11 "Jehovah of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is a secure refuge for us."(Psalms 46:1-11). (Selah)

    Annie Abbott reacted to Queen Esther in RECALLING THE FUTURE - To my Russian Brothers ! read more...   
    RECALLING  THE  FUTURE
    To my Russian Brothers....
    My beloved and so remembered these days, Russian brothers and sisters.
    There is so much positive that dazzles with what is happening to you, that I feel somewhat violent not to protest for the negative.
    But, it is that, my brothers, we are very many more than 8 million, which we have been waiting for you these days. I know very few of you, but you tell me that you surpass the 176,000 true witnesses of our common Father, Jehovah.
    My brothers, you have the great privilege of being closer to the great tribulation than all the others. Jehovah has assigned you the territory where the king of the North began to be part of the Biblical prophecies. Many of the elders among you have lived dark and satanic times when the Soviet Union decided to wipe you off the map by competing with Hitler in Germany. So many and many ended up in Siberia where you lost your life with many sufferings.
    But the USSR fell, freedom of religion was opened in Russian territory and surprise, behold there were more witnesses than before the persecution.
    Do not apply hot cloths. You are preparing to live through difficult times in the hands of a militarist power and you have been in the middle of a struggle between North and South, where Jehovah will intervene without a doubt.
    Jehovah has given his word by saying, "For the one who touches you is touching the globe of my eye," Zechariah 2: 8. And it is clear that they are touching you.
    Precisely, what can you ask the Sovereign? "Keep me as the child of the eyeball, in the shadow of your wings you want to hide me, because of the wicked that have violently stripped me (of your living rooms of the kingdom), The very enemies against my soul come around me closely," Psalms 17: 8-9
    You are going to witness how Jehovah keeps his word. "For the portion of the Lord is his people ... He came to find him in a land of desert, and in an arid desert, void and howling. He began to surround him, to care for him, to safeguard him as the child Of his eye, "Deuteronomy 32:10.
    We love you my brothers, and together we will enter the new world  ;-)

    Annie Abbott reacted to JW Insider in Investigation into fabricated evidence against JWs in Russia indicates Orthodox priests at fault   
    News feed   [ RSS | News archive ] April 11, 2017, 11:13   Orthodox Anti-Sectarian Center of Voronezh convicted of planting Jehovah's Witnesses banned literature
    During the hearing in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the suit of Justice Ministry against Jehovah's Witnesses (SI) it was revealed that one of the banned books, [supposedly] planted by a believer, belonged not to them, but to the Orthodox Anti-Sectarian Center, says a reporter from "Portal-Credo.Ru». April 7, at the court hearing, lawyers for JWs explained that almost all of the cases in which their local religious organizations (IROS) in Russia were abolished by the courts, were based on the fabrication of evidence. Believers do not distribute or even store books and journals entered in the Federal List of Extremist Literature of the Russian Federation, but law enforcement bodies themselves toss these materials of the SI, and then "find" during searches. Some incidents of this kind are recorded on video, widely available on the Internet and shown on television.
    Jehovah's witnesses were able to establish that in Voronezh "extremist literature" investigators handed patterns associated with the ROC MP. On one of the books ("what the Bible actually teaches?"), which is in the case file, package no. 5, there is a box in which you can enter the name of the owner of the book. In this field the inscription «IKCMV», which means «Information-Consulting Center of St. Mitrophan of Voronezh. The planted book was "found" under a layer of carpet, on which stood a pot with flowers.

    According to the vob.ru database, this center was created with the blessing of the Metropolitan of Voronezh and Borisoglebsky ROC MP Sergiy (Fomin) and is a member of the Russian Association of Centers for the Study of Religions and Sects (RACIRS). According to the website iriney.ru, the ECMMC is headed by the priest Evgeny Lishchenyuk, the well-known "sectologist" Alexander Dvorkin also helps the center. The declared goal of the Center's activities is "the development of all acceptable forms of anti-sectarian activity that do not violate Orthodox morality and do not violate secular legislation and the development of purposeful missionary programs to neutralize proselytism and religious extremism."

    However, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contains article 303: falsification of evidence and the results of operational-search activity. This article states that falsification of evidence in a civil case by a person participating in a case or his representative is punishable by a fine in the amount of 100 to 300 thousand rubles, or compulsory work up to 480 hours, or correctional labor up to 2 years, or arrest up to 4 months.
    In this case there is a second copy of the same book, in the margins of which there are notes with a ballpoint pen, which are critical remarks in relation to the text of the book. Obviously, the notes were taken by a person who did not agree with the position of the JWs.
    Despite the falsification of evidence, the court in Voronezh took the side of Jehovah's Witnesses and took note of evidence of planting. On March 2 of this year, the court noted the inconsistency of the testimony of the prosecution witnesses and abolished the decision of the lower regional court to liquidate the Voronezh organization of the JWs.
     
    --------------------
    The above is from a couple weeks ago, and might have already been covered. I didn't find out about it until a few minutes ago. If it's a duplicate I'll take it down. It's a bing translation of http://credo.press/site/?act=news&id=125236
    If I have time I might correct some of the translation. I think it missed a few words. In editing, I have now replaced some portions with google translate.
    Evidently the persons who planted the evidence forgot to take their own name out their copy of "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" It seems that the name in the book was the name of an organization run by Russian Orthodox priests, an Orthodox Anti-Sectarian Center that has provided assistance to Alexander Dvorkin (of 'donkey in the vegetable garden' fame).
    I don't have the time or wherewithal to find out if this story is accurate, however.

    Very sad. I really thought by some of the questions that the Justices asked that they would have dealt with us in an even handed manner. They even allowed fabricated evidence. What a travesty. We will see what the future holds for our friends in Russia and how the situation will play out.

    Annie Abbott reacted to Bible Speaks in Girls Are They Any Jehovah's Witnesses Among You?   
    (Russia) After attending meetings of Jehovah's witnesses, my Ukrainian friends with whom I had been taken to Germany, began to hate me for associating with Germans. Once, one of them yelled at me and then hit me across the face. My former girlfriends began to laugh. After being freed in 1945, I returned to Ukraine. My grandfather said: "Your mama has lost her mind. She has thrown away her icons, and now she has some other God."
    When we were left to ourselves, Mama took out a Bible and read from it that God hates idolatry. She then told me that she was attending the meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses. I threw mv arms around her neck and with tears in my eyes, quietly said, "Dear Mama, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses too!" We both cried for joy.
    Mama was very zealous in the ministry. Since almost all the brothers were imprisoned in camps, she was appointed as the group servant. Her zeal infected me as well. In 1950, I was arrested for religious activities, and the court sentenced me to ten years of camp imprisonment.
    Five of us sisters were taken to the town of Usol'ye- Sibirskoye, in Siberia. From April 1951, we worked in railroad construction. We carried heavy railroad ties on our shoulders, two of us to a tie. With our own hands, we also moved and laid 11-yard-long metal tracks that weighed 700 pounds each.
    We would get very tired. Once when we were going home exhausted from work, a train full of prisoners pulled up and stopped next to us.
    A man looking through the window asked, "Girls, are there any Jehovah's Witnesses among you?" Our fatigue vanished. "Here are five sisters!" we yelled. The prisoners were our dear brothers and sisters who had been exiled from Ukraine. While the train stood still, they excitedly told us what had happened and how they had been exiled. Then the children recited to us poems that the brothers themselves had written. Not even the soldiers disturbed us, and we were able to associate with and encourage one another.
    From Usol'ye-Sibirskoye, we were transferred to a large camp near Angarsk. There were 22 sisters there. They had organized everything, including territories for preaching. This helped us to survive spiritually. (2008 Yearbook)
