NO  question.....   ALL  animals  came  first,  bec. Jehovah  created  perfect  animals  and  NO  eggs,  hahaha  -  also  the  perfect  plants  we  saw  and  NO  seeds....  The  same  last  with  Adam  and  Eve  -  NOT  Babies  HE  created,  but  perfect  adult  humans !  FIRST  ADAM  AND  THEN  EVE.
EGGS  AND  LITTLE BABIES  COMING  FROM  THE  ADULT  CREATIONS !   WE  ALL  KNOW  THAT -  HAHA



Does a Hen Need a Rooster to Lay Eggs?
This is the most-asked question by people curious about chickens. Most people are quite relieved to learn that the answer is "no"-- the hen (female) will lay eggs with or without a rooster (male) present.
WHAT  DO YOU  THINK ?

It will not help anyone to know the identity of the 'King of the North. but, we do that he will come to his end with no helper, which is good enough for us.
The identity of, and the coming of the two kings from the rising of the sun are already known and this will be a far better advent in the lives of their followers.

The book "Pay attention to the prophecies of Daniel" told us not to speculate on this. Any suggestions made publicly could well have others spreading ideas. Our society as a group are keeping watch on world affairs and will advise us - if necessary. Daniel was told that the king of the North would come to his end - with no helper.

Hello sister, we often get people who argue about us calling on the name of Jehovah. They often say that God's name is Yahweh not Jehovah. The document below was captured at JW.ORG about 12 years ago. You may find it useful.

Hello Queen E, during all my years in the truth I've never seen any grammatical errors. The editing team do an excellent job.
The same cannot be said for Christendom. Click on the link Bible Typos (Typing errors) here under for a few good laughs.

East London is well named. Many street names or places are the same as in England, EG: Oxford, Cambridge, Braemar,  Berea. etc.  It has had that name for many centuries.
Pity that politics play a part in the expensive changing of city names. The local council is considering a new name. Possibly 'Buffalo City' which is the river in the picture above. The Municipality have already adopted that name. Imagine the expenses cartographers, (map makers) directories and confusion for tourists.
In any case, there are no longer any buffalo roaming in any nearby region for ages.

You once asked about the place where I live. Below is a picture copied from the free "GO" magazine this morning. East London is one of the few river ports in the world.
In the foreground "The Orient beach" can be seen. It's named after the wreck of the ship by that name. Parts of the wreck can be seen where the wave on the left breaks.

 

Perhaps it would be better to hide when they call and let them have their fun during their last few remaining years on earth. This is Satan’s world and these are his offspring. We could be endangering ourselves by challenging him with physical things. Acts 19:13-16. Some of these Halloween people may in later years accept the truth. We should oppose his attempts to anger us.  (James 4:7; Psalm 37:1. 2)

Here's a picture I found at JW.ORG many years ago.
When a witness called on the house above, a woman upstairs began cursing him.
He then said, "Sorry ma,am. Can I please speak to George?"

Hello sister, this was a joke during the early years of JW.ORG. Unlike these days, during those early days brothers and sisters could contribute anything to the librarian, which he will either publish or reject. I'm no longer sure whether the joke was made by  a brother or sister or by the librarian himself.
In the English language the word "Hypothetical" is used whenever an imaginary situation is presented.
While this wicked world lasts, there will always be people who call down evil on us when we approach them with the good news. I hope that you will now understand that it was not a genuine situation. It's something which could have happened.

That 'No bell' prize reminds me of a picture:

A day for demonic traditions. Hollowed pumpkins carved into heads with candles inside called Jack-O-lanterns. This celebration has it's origins in the Catholic church as an observance in honour of the saints. (All Saints Day. Daily Dispatch Newspaper October 30th 2003.)
What good can come from people wearing witch costumes and demon masks who terrorise people with their "Trick or Treat" threats. (Heb. 13:15, 16)

Jehovah is concerned that we keep our bodies clean and healthy. “‘You must not make cuts in your flesh for a dead person, and you must not make tattoo markings on yourselves. I am Jehovah.” (Leviticus 19:28) Male and female were created in the same form which is why men also have nipples. It serves no purpose in discussing the way we were created, except that it’s wonderful. (Psalm 139:14) For instance, it matters not whether Adam were created with or without navels.

2  different  songs   of   *HE  WILL  CALL*   I  posted  for  you ....
JEHOVAH  WILL  CALL -  and  your  wife  will  healthy  running  into  your  arms ? 
Maybe  Afrikaans  is  there  too ?    36  languages  -  thats  alot ! 
I  am  waiting  first  of  my  Dad  and  my  own  brother...

Thanks sister for your kind words. My favourite song is "He will call" (Job 14:13-15) in expectation of my dear wife's resurrection. With regard to the book of Job, I often wonder whether Jehovah was referring to Job's hidden enemy, Satan, at Job 41. The crocodile is the true king of beasts. An unseen enemy that can even kill a lion, which the world considers to be the king of beasts.

Brother Andrew had some good and bad experiences. Hereunder are a few links you can type in at the 2017 WT Library: Jack, Andrew: yb07 183 (dx86-16 Latvia) w09 7/15 p. 24 Ninety Years Ago I Began to ‘Remember My Grand Creator’
Here's part of it: 
In 1931 at a convention in London, Brother Rutherford called for volunteers to spread the good news in foreign lands. I volunteered, and along with Andrew Jack, I was assigned to Kaunas, then the capital of Lithuania. I was 18 years old.”

At the time, Lithuania was an impoverished agricultural society, and preaching in the rurals posed challenges. Accommodations were difficult to obtain, and some lodging places we remembered for a long time. For instance, one night Andrew and I woke up because we felt uncomfortable. After we lit the oil lamp, we saw that the bed was covered with hundreds of bedbugs. We were bitten from head to foot! Each morning for a week, I had to stand up to my neck in the cold water of a nearby river to ease the pain. Still, we were determined to carry on in the ministry. Soon thereafter, the lodging problem was solved when we met a young couple who had embraced Bible truth. They took us into their home, which was tiny but clean. We gladly slept on the floor, and what a relief it was!

Truthfully, the collection of the old books which I had collected were on a book rack 1.2 meters wide, and from my lower hips to the ceiling. It pained me to give them away, but the person who received them was a very good friend and elder. These included Byington's Bible, with God's name Jehovah throughout and only 100,000 were printed. Also The Emphatic Dialogue which had God's name in the Greek Christian scriptures. I cannot recall how many other rare books there were among them. At 86 years old, every morning could be the last. One can only imagine what could have happened to those books after my death. (Eccl. 2:21) Every aged brother and sister who owns rare books should include a recipient in their wills. The time for "everything under the sun" could also be the time of our passing, which could well be when least expected.

This is when it will be destroyed, Armageddon.
 
 

Good to hear about the 'anointed Brothers'. Brother Andrew Jack (anointed) studied with me in 1956, and we had the pleasure of inviting him him regularly to have meals at our home.  (Matt. 25:35) Brother Jack who came from Scotland was present when the equivalent of the circuit overseer in those days asked whether any of the brothers present would like to move to South Africa. He immediately jumped up and shouted, "Here I am, send me." (Isa. 6:8)

We often hear people respond with, "Well good luck to you" concerning any venture. Is it not better to say, "Jehovah willing", or similar?
We cannot blame our society for investing. Not all that many brothers donate to the World Wide Work. Why did our Society have have to sell it's magnificent building with, "Read the Bible today" and move to a cheaper area?
We ourselves are investing our money when we open a savings account.
