THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD WILL DO AMAZING THINGS ON THE EARTH.
People will no longer feel pain, grow old, or die.—Revelation 21:4
“The lame will leap like the deer.”—Isaiah 35:6
“The eyes of the blind will be opened.”—Isaiah 35:5
The dead will be brought back to life.—John 5:28, 29
No one will get sick.—Isaiah 33:24
Everyone on earth will have plenty to eat.—Psalm 72:16.                          The Bible does more than that. It tells us what we need to know in order to be truly happy and enjoy life right now. Think for a moment about the things that make you worry. These may include money or family matters, bad health, or the death of someone you love. The Bible can help you to cope with these problems, and it can comfort you by answering such questions as these:
Why do we suffer?
How can we cope with our problems?
Can our family be happy?
What happens to us when we die?
Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?
Why can we be confident that God will do everything that he has promised? Go to JW.Org to learn these answers. 

Also an interesting thought from "Our Christian Life and Ministry" this week; the Bible study part is on Bible Students seeing the need to improve dress and grooming..............it would appear that not only Bible students need this encouragement.........maybe some of the Brothers and Sisters need this encouragement as well!!!

I've noticed a few photos recently of JW women all donning some sort of uniform similar to how airline stewardesses (I should say flight attendants) are typically dressed.
She looks fine above according to today's dress standard. I would call this a modern business look. However would it be wrong for her to wear pants below?
The suit jacket she is wearing (obviously made for a woman) would have been denounced as a woman dressing in men's clothes years ago.
Have our standards changed?
This brings up many questions about fashion standards and whether all JW's should sport an official uniform or not?
Would Jesus have wanted his apostles to be dressed in a uniform?
Some might think I am being too picky talking about such issues. However I was raised with very strict JW dress guidelines so I am used to always questioning the appropriateness of apparel.
Just some quick thoughts...

LAST DAYS.....   INDEED !!

Jackie Chan visiting Bethel of the Jehovah's WItnesses

HOW  SAD....  this  lovely  old  JW  married  couple  died  after  a  car  accident  ;-(
Earl  and  Evelin,  both  87 years  and  70  years  married ❤   They  were  in  the  KD  Hall  always  seen  so  sweet  hand  in  hand  ;o)   They  were  on  the  way  for  enjoying  ice cream  together,  when  a  terrible  moment  separated  them  into  2 diff.  hospitals  - They  died  to  the  same  time !   I  read,  soon  again  they  can  hold  their  hands...
So  I  guess,  they  were  our  anointed  Brothers ?   But  I  am  not  sure...

Look,  WHAT  a  different !  JEHOVAH  has  really  changed  the  new  brother's  life❤

The  sister  wrote....
I have just received from brothers from Munich:
Because of the assassination in Munich, so many register with us. I wanted to give you some feedback. Today we had our regional convention in our convention hall, which is 700 meters from the  site  of  crime.  We went at 5:46pm with the subway of Congress home. 14 minutes later the attack a subway station was right on!  WE got  well  home !  However, even  200 brothers  still  in the hall, but these may not leave. Many brothers parked  exactly in this shopping center, where the stop was. We hope and pray that none of our brothers is concerned. We are all in a  state of shock.   ----   Pray for our brothers !!!
Approximately 150 brothers still sit firmly in the congress hall. In Feldmoching shots from automatic weapons have been reported.  Is a neighbor  place, Calvin, 4 km away from us  here. The brothers in the convention hall  making  ready  for  night  to stay there  now. From injured Bro. nothing is known, if so, we knew that already. I just  talked with a brother who was at the conference. Helicopter circling above us and it is lively in our area. Have got terror alert. We  made  an around  call  to  all  our congration  brothers  and  all  are  safe  at  home.
MAY  JEHOVAH  BLESS  THE  NEXT  CONVENTION  DAY'S❤
ALL  OK  -  JEHOVAH  DID  ;o)   BUT  REALLY  SO  NEAR  FROM  CLOCK-TIME  AND  SUBWAY  STATION  BY  THE  RC....  ALL  BROTHERS & SISTERS  OK  ;o) THANK  YOU  JEHOVAH❤
 

The  McDonald's - Restaurant  near  the  shooting  place....   The  sick  boy  still  invited  before  some  girlfriends  per  online  -  coming  to  McDonald  too...  how  dangerous  the  Internet  is !!
 

With  some  tricks,  the  18 year  old  boy  ordered  this  special  weapon  by  ebay....  Our  laws  in  Germany  now  still  more  stricter !  ( and  not  allow  everyone  a  weapon like  Mr.Trump  wants  that  for  USA...)  Thats  very  silly  and  more  dangerous !!
 

Woman Runs Into Death As She Hides From Jehovah's Witnesses
Stephanie was alone on the third floor when she decided to hide behind one of the windows as she has always been doing. She slipped and fell to her death.
"Stephanie fell from the third floor. She died instantly" according to a neighbor

Yes this testimony seems definitely biased. While Almighty God has granted us the freedom to make choices of our own volition, having that freedom doesn't mean we are always wise. 30 years ago I had a friend who was convinced he was wiser than Jehovah's organization. So he left. And after many horrible experiences over a span of ten years, one near fatal, he decided to return to Jehovah's house. He came to realize that "like a blind man I was not aware of the danger that was in front of me each day". Truth is not something we can merely wish away.

There are two ways in which this could happen.
