    This song no longer appears in the song book, but remains one of our favourites:
    LetÂ’s watch How We Walk (Eph. 5:15) Previously song 106

    1. LetÂ’s watch how we walk and watch how we talk - That thus we may be alert and wise.

    Buying out the opportune time – Since this world in Satan Lies.

    Yes, watch how we walk and watch how we talk – That thus we may be alert and wise.

    2. Let’s watch what we preach and watch what we preach – Encourage meek ones to take their stand.

    By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.

    Yes, watch what we preach and watch what we teach – And thus help meek ones to take their stand

    By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.

    3. Let’s watch how we greet and watch how we treat – All those we meet in our ministry.

    Like Christ Jesus, our Fine Shepherd – Care for his sheep lovingly.

    Yes, watch how we greet and watch how we treat – And stumble none in our ministry.

    Hear the tune at this website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l5s0jONWn8

    It was uploaded by a sister who was also fond of it.

    Your dad was probably a witness, then he will come back. So will my wife. She had arthritis and deformed feet, but we did our field ministry right until a few days before she died at 86 years old. She will also be pleased to know that I made enlargements of all her photos which she so much loved.
    A recent Watchtower told us to be patient about the resurrection, it may take some time before that can happen. Armageddon survivors must first bury the bones of the dead, and destroy all weapons of war. No doubt all cemeteries will be destroyed so that the earth can be in a peaceful state with no signs of war, sickness and death.
    Our Gonubie Kingdom Hall has three Sunday meetings. For Blacks, the Afrikaners and the English. The property adjacent to the hall also belongs to us. It's reserved for brothers sent from Bethel to build prefabricated homes for the poor in Black areas in the Transkei.

    > The problem with tablets and other electronic devices is they will eventually die without a power source.

                        How true brother, we should not be antique collectors.
    Our collection of old books, bound WT,s etc.. were taken with us wherever we went since the 50's. By 1968 the list included The Harp of God in early Dutch. Circa 2012 these were all given to an elder friend a year before going to an old age home, including Byingtons Bible. (Only 100,000 were printed). He in turn gave half of these to other brothers. We kept only one old booklet and four of the later books.
              We would be just as happy using the Bible and the Watchtower Library.

    Although we avoid involvement in worldly politics, we are allowed to read or listen to news broadcasts. In some cases, it strengthens our faith in JehovahÂ’s prophecies:
    “And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.”
            (Psalm 2; 76:12; Isa. 24:21, 22; Revelation 16:13,14; 17:2;19:19)
    The website below tells about ‘Necklacing’ which was the cruel method of torturing and killing people by placing  petrol-soaked motor car tyres around their necks and setting these alight.

    Sorry to hear that sister. Anyhow, I've never had a virus during the past 30 years, and my Windows Defender gave me the all clear a few minutes ago. Before downloading any material, I use NORTON Safe site which is free to all users.
    Few people these days use WORDPAD, which is probably the problem. One brother said that he could not read .DOCX which is why
    I've uploaded the same file in .DOCX this time. Let me know when all is well.

    Sister QE, I still don't know how to navigate at this website. You once offered to send a list of all the pages you work on, but I was too busy at the time. Can you please send them now so that I can save them to Internet explorer's favourites. Perhaps this will assist in visiting all and that I could become more active here.

    An older advert says, "Meat needs mustard" How true. It does give a delightful tang to meat. Jesus may have also tasted it before giving credit to this small seed.

    Sister Esther I copied those pictures for my collection - thanks.
    Regarding the future resurrection, Unless these are informed that Jesus resurrected them, (John 6:40) we may have difficulty convincing those of other faiths. Some may claim that their God brought them back, and it won't be a picnic convincing them of the truth.
    For instance, disciples of Ron L Hubbard's Scientology also believe they that once they have reached the state of 'clear', they will all come back after death. The Japanese and many African countries share belief in their ancestor afterlife.
    My wife and I had many discussions with the latter, and were often successful when  reading to them the following scriptures:
    Ex. 4:19 Moses was to return to Egypt because all who sought to kill him were dead.
    Eccl. 9:4-6 Their hate and love die with them, which means; even if their parents promised to help them after their death, they cannot, because they are not able to hear or help them - Eccl. 3:19) 
    Isa. 8:19 Talking to the dead offends Jehovah. He told the Israelites to talk to him.

    “The one showing favour to the lowly is lending to Jehovah” (Prov. 19:17, 18) Seeing our God Jehovah considered these, he expects that we do the same. The person in the picture is a bush dweller carrying all his possessions. About 15 years ago when he passed our home, our gardener called him in and we paid him for allowing us take the photograph. The gardener said he is mentally disabled and harmless. We also noticed that he never begs and walks around all day looking for scraps in dustbins. We’ve seen strangers giving him things to eat and money and we did the same. Seeing that such ones cannot read nor understand the Bible, Jehovah in his mercy settled our concern for their future: “He raises the lowly one from the dust; He lifts up the poor from the ash heap, To make them sit with princes, Giving them a seat of honor. To Jehovah belong earth’s supports, And he places the productive land upon them.” (1Samuel 2:8; Psalm 113:7)

    The area in East London, South Africa where I’m resident is among the 10 highest rated Metro Cities. All of these have a great number of people, (Black and White) living below the bread line. Jesus said that we will always have the poor among us. (Matt. 26:11) He knows because he has been observing mankind since the beginning. Jehovah made laws for the benefit of the poor. (Exodus alone: 22:25; 23:3, 11; 30:15)
    Although most world governments are trying to assist these, their kindness can never compare to JehovahÂ’s mercy. Population growth being just one of their problems.
    Jehovah’s people have always been sympathetic toward the poor. Although the priority of Jesus’ disciples was to spread the Good News of God’s Kingdom world-wide, (Matt. 24:14; Luke 4:43) they set aside seven disciples to distribute food among the poor. (Acts 6:1-6) Jehovah’s people recently built prefabricated halls in some of the poor areas where elders are preaching that God’s Kingdom will soon put an end to their hardships.  (Psalm 72:16; Revelation 21:3,4)
    The photo was taken at one of the many outlying districts of the Eastern Cape were there are few amenities.
