I would think they met doing cart witnessing and wanted to get a picture with the culprit.
They both look very happy 

They must have a real love for Jehovah because they are putting him first in there lives they will surely have a wonderful marriage

“Your Deliverance Is Getting Near”!
I [will] sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.—Ezek. 38:16.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/8
Shortly before the remaining ones of the 144,000 are taken to heaven, Gog will attack God’s people. What reaction does this provoke? On earth, God’s people will appear to be defenseless. They will obey the instructions given in the days of King Jehoshaphat: “You will not need to fight this battle. Take your position, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah in your behalf. O Judah and Jerusalem, do not be afraid or be terrified.” (2 Chron. 20:17) In heaven, however, there is a different reaction. Referring to the time when all the anointed are in heaven, Revelation 17:14 tells us this about the enemies of God’s people: “These will battle with the Lamb, but because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those with him who are called and chosen and faithful will do so.” Together with his 144,000 corulers in heaven, Jesus will come to the rescue of God’s people here on earth. w15 7/15 2:16

14 "The great day of Jehovah is near! It is near and it is approaching very quickly!
The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter. There a warrior cries out."
        (Zephaniah 1:14) NWT
     
      16 "And they gathered them             together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon."
(Revelation 16:16) NWT

God Will Soon Bring About a World Free of Fear 
“Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity and proceeds to conceal himself, but the inexperienced have passed along and must suffer the penalty.” (Proverbs 22:3) 
We can take wise precautions, however, and by reducing our risks, we may reduce our anxieties.
It makes sense to be aware of who is around you and to avoid dark places when possible. Maybe you can walk home using the best-lit streets possible, even if it means walking a little farther. The Bible also says: “Two are better than one . . . If somebody could overpower one alone, two together could make a stand against him.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12) If you live in a dangerous area, can you arrange to walk home with someone?
If you are harassed by someone who makes immoral suggestions, tells obscene jokes, or tries to touch you, it is best to reject him firmly. You may need to take your leave, as Joseph did when an immoral woman grabbed him. He “took to flight and went on outside.” (Genesis 39:12) If leaving is impossible, you could say: “Stop that!” or “Keep your hands to yourself!” or “I don’t appreciate that kind of talk.” If you can, avoid places where harassment is common.
What can you do if you fear a violent husband? It may be wise to have an escape plan in case your husband’s conduct should suddenly threaten your health or life or that of your children.* The Bible relates how Jacob carefully prepared an escape plan to follow if his brother Esau became violent. As things turned out, the plan was not needed, but it was a wise precaution. (Genesis 32:6-8) 
An escape plan may involve finding someone who would receive you in an emergency. You could discuss in advance with that person what your needs might be. Having important documents and other essentials handy might be advisable.
Reporting your husband’s abuse to the authorities and seeking their protection may also be an option. The Bible teaches that all must face the consequences of their actions. (Galatians 6:7) 
Of governmental authority, the Bible says: “It is God’s minister to you for your good. But if you are doing what is bad, be in fear.” (Romans 13:4) Assault is as much a crime at home as it is on the street. Stalking is also a crime in many countries.
“In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, . . . having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness.” (2 Timothy 3:1-3) 
What fearsome times those words describe! Jesus said: “When you see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near.” (Luke 21:31) 
In our time, we can expect a government by God to rule from heaven over all mankind. (Daniel 2:44) 
Freedom From Fear!
The Bible describes a future time of peace when wars will cease, evildoers will be no more, and the earth will be filled with people who love God. Peter, an apostle of Jesus, wrote about a future “day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.” There will not be anyone evil to fear because “righteousness is to dwell” on earth. (2 Peter 3:7, 9, 13) 
Imagine the relief of living among trustworthy people who truly love one another! This prospect helps us to see the present dangerous times in a different light. They will not continue indefinitely.—Psalm 37:9-11.
For the benefit of those suffering anxiety, Jehovah’s prophet was told: “Say to those who are anxious at heart: ‘Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look! Your own God will come with vengeance itself, God even with a repayment. He himself will come and save you people.’” (Isaiah 35:4) 
Thus, servants of the true God can look to the future with confidence. (Philippians 4:6, 7) 
For people who have had to live in fear, it is most comforting to know that Jehovah has not abandoned his original purpose for the earth to be filled with people who know him and reflect his loving qualities.—Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 11:9.
“Jehovah is my shepherd. . . . My soul he refreshes. He leads me in the tracks of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the valley of deep shadow, I fear nothing bad, for you are with me.” (Psalm 23:1-4)

Prepare to Sing the New Songs - David H. Splane

Forest and Helen were born the same day, were 75 years married and died one day after they were at the age of 94 years. "She did not want to see him dead, and he did not want to live without her." Their friends and family agree: if two people were getting "one for the other", that were Helen and Forest
Both date from the same day, December 31, 1918. Helen and Forest were in love with each other for years, schools and this year marks the 75th anniversary of their wedding. Unfortunately was the last one. Helen died on July 16, and Forest died the next day, July 17, 2013. They were both 94 years old.
"It was true love," says her eldest son, - "They were together every day for 75 years." Daniel, her son. "My mother always said that I did not want to see how my father's Muria, and he did not want to live without it"
The children said that their parents met in high school, "Huntington Park" (California). 17 September 1937 and they ran to marry in against the will of their parents. The fact that Helen was a simple family of working class, while Forest was from a rich family and the family members of the two families thought that his love had no future. But, as if she had.
Despite the fact that the spouses Brown were born the same day, were completely different people. Okay, with her children, his mother was very strict, and my dad was more relaxed. Like all married couples who were in these years, had some problems. However, Helen and Forest were Jehovah's Witnesses. Her children say that they believe their marriage strengthened, and every day, over and over again confirms his love for the others.
In addition to the fact that we spent a lot of time for worship in the Kingdom lounge, these old, seven grandchildren, were well known and usually make common visits. Were also close friends with most of his neighbors.
Bob Brobst, a friend of the family who belongs to the same community of Jehovah's Witnesses, "as it is written in the Bible," they were a flesh, "" he said, adding that always be reminded of how Her friends closer to each other.
In connection with the death of Forest, had the Parkinson's disease, and Helen, the cancer had stomach on Saturday in the Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, was face to face the Fallen Speech.

Steve Gerdes: We Will Never Forget the Greeting

"Bonito momento y experiencia en la predicación de hoy, los cuatro soldados militares mostraron mucho interés y hicieron buenas preguntas, ¡y todos los 4 querían tener el sitio web!"

This can certainly apply to people who are known deceivers. Con artist and such. It can also be a warning about associating with people of whom we are not sure of such as people we only meet on the internet. Via the internet people can portray themselves in any manner including changing their gender so suit their audience.
We are all judged by the company we keep. If we associate with drug addicts then we will be grouped in with that crowd. If we associate with bigots then we will be grouped in with that crowd. If we associate with people espousing christian principles then we will be grouped in with that crowd. Jesus can read hearts and all judging has been given to him; however, in the temporal we are judged by people and they cannot see our hearts. They can only see the outward appearance. If we declare that we are a Christian yet regularly socialize with people who abuse drugs, people who denigrate other races, people who look down on others because of their station in life how will this affect how people view Christianity?   

The 2015 Watchtower Library on DVD for Windows has an update available.  If you clicked on the box to update and you are connected to the internet, it will bring up a box and ask you if you want the current update (212 MB).  It adds the 2016 Wt and Awakes , some brochures, the Meeting Workbooks and other things.

Timothy . . . is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my methods.—1 Cor. 4:17.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/1/2
A newly appointed brother should not feel that as soon as he receives some responsibility in the congregation, he needs to use it to change course—to do things in a way that is completely different from the way they were done before. The need for change is determined, not by one’s desire for change, but by the needs of the congregation and the direction we receive from Jehovah’s organization. So if you are appointed, reassure your fellow believers and show respect for experienced elders by continuing to use their Bible-based methods. However, as you gain experience, you will no doubt share in applying changes that will help the congregation to stay in tune with Jehovah’s progressive organization. In fact, Jehovah may in time move all you faithful learners to do even greater works than those of your teachers.—John 14:12. w15 4/15 2:17

Yes we are going to have to rely on our elders at this time very much. So if we are not able to get to meetings because of our health we must listen in tov the meetings as much as we can. And rely on what our brothers and sisters have to share when they stop by for a visit. Knowing that Jehovah loves all of his people and see that they are taken care of.
