Armageddon Survivors
A celestial phenomena is reverberating across the entire planet! All the streets and buildings are collapsing in an instant and the cities are being destroyed at will worldwide. The sights and sounds are so unforgettable it leaves the "great crowd" gasping in awe.
Jehovah's Day of Judgment to vindicate his sovereignty has finally arrived!!! Then it gets quiet. Everyone is stunned and choked up with emotion. Is it all over? Did we just come out of the great tribulation?
Suddenly the skies begin to open up miraculously and the universal rejoicing of the marriage of the lamb takes place! You see your loved ones cheering loudly and singing with extreme excitement!! And some are hitting the ground on their knees, with tears of relief streaming down their faces. This day will be remembered for the rest of eternity!
After standing before Jehovah's throne, everyone walks side by side to contemplate the ruins and you come across your old neighborhood, completely destroyed. The old system of things has disappeared forever. And when the cleanup begins, many of us break down again and again, crying happy tears until we run out of tears.
The years pass by and gradually the earth looks more beautiful. The sky becomes clearer, rivers and lakes become cleaner. Even the stars seem to shine more brightly.
Then one evening you witness an extraordinary sight: A beautiful little girl is walking down the road with an elephant, surrounded by grass and blossoming flowers everywhere.
Finally the day arrives when you get assigned to live in another area. The thrilling resurrection is beginning to take place and you will embark on an amazing journey to give bible studies to resurrected people in their place of origin! You hug your family and friends goodbye, thrilled to carry out your assignment. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, everything will be done for Jehovah: "Here I am! Send me."
And as you walk off into the sunset toward the boat, you gaze at the sky and you say another prayer of thanks to Jehovah, one of many prayers that will last throughout all eternity. 
? Let your name be sanctified. 
? Let your Kingdom come. 
? Let your will take place. 
? As in heaven, also on earth!

"You can ban the witnesses but you can never ban what they witness"

HOW HEAVY IS YOUR BAG?
????
A school teacher had each student bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes. For every person a student had refused to forgive in their life experience, they were told to choose a potato, write on it the name and date, and put it in the plastic bag. Some of the bags, as you can imagine, were quite heavy. 
????
They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week, putting it beside the bed at night, on the car seat when driving, next to the desk at work.
????
The hassle of lugging this around made it clear what a weight was being carried spiritually.
????
And how each one had to pay attention to it all the time to not forget, and keep leaving it in embarrassing places.
????
Naturally, the condition of the potatoes deteriorated to a nasty slime. 
????
This was a great metaphor for the price  we pay for keeping our pain and heavy negativity! Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to the other person, and it clearly is for ourselves!! So the next time you decide you can't forgive someone, ask yourself ... isn't your bag heavy enough?

''Nowhere to Hide': North Korean Missiles Spur Anxiety in Japan Fishing Town
There's nowhere to hide' Japan on alert for North Korea nuclear test WORSE than Fukushima
????
TERRIFIED Japanese residents fear North Korea may trigger a nuclear disaster more devastating than the Fukushima calamity by testing a hydrogen bomb.
Japan has been on high alert since North Korea fired two ballistic missiles over the northern island of Hokkaido on September 15.
The Hermit Kingdom conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test just weeks earlier on September 3.
North Korea has not carried out further ballistic missile or nuclear tests in recent weeks, marking an eerily quiet period for the secretive state.
But the silence has done nothing to allay the fears of residents living directly in the firing line of Kim Jong-un’s missile tests.
Kawamura, who lives in a seaside cottage in Erimo, said: “Now when I hear a loud sound, I look outside, I look out at the ocean.
“I feel anxious, like I never know when it will come again.”
For months Japanese authorities have been holding large scale emergency drills in preparation for North Korea testing a missile or nuclear bomb.
In the event of a missile launch, the government activates sirens and sends alerts to millions of mobile phones.
“When it's launched, it could land here just moments later,” Kawamura said. “There's nowhere to hide.”

God is very approachable. Just as a loving father is glad to have his children speak freely with him, Jehovah God welcomes our prayers. At the same time, like any wise father, God has good reasons for not answering some requests.
????????
The apostle John explains: “This is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14)
????????
Our requests must be in harmony with God’s will. Some pray for things that are clearly not God’s will. Others pray with improper motives. The disciple James warns against such abuse of prayer, saying: “You do ask, and yet you do not receive, because you are asking for a wrong purpose, that you may expend it upon your cravings for sensual pleasure.”—James 4:3.
????????
On the other hand, Jehovah will always listen to the sincere prayers of worshippers who are doing their best to serve him according to his will.
????????
The apostle Paul prayed for relief from what he called his “thorn in the flesh.” (2 Corinthians 12:7) This “thorn” may refer to a chronic eye affliction or to the constant harassment of opposers and “false brothers.” (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 4:14, 15) Paul wrote: “I three times entreated the Lord that it might depart from me.” However, God knew that if Paul continued preaching despite this nagging “thorn in the flesh,” it would clearly demonstrate God’s power and Paul’s implicit trust in Him. So rather than grant Paul’s request, God told him: “My power is being made perfect in weakness.”—2 Corinthians 12:8, 9.
????????
Yes, God knows better than we do whether granting certain requests is in our best interests. Jehovah always responds for our good, in harmony with his loving purposes recorded in the Bible.

As a Iridologist I find the eye fascinating!   I see diseases and progression of a persons health. Some disease is inherited, some is definitely causes. Some danger signals in eyes ? I see, I suggest a Doctor and tests to conclude proof. 99.9% of the time it’s right on. I have a special camera ? that takes pictures of the eye and I can enlarge over my professional grids. Doing this 44 years. Our Creator Jehovah God is so amazing! Thank you 
The Eyes ? Have It!

Do You Love Money? - Is Money Your Master or Your Servant?
???????
DO YOU suffer from money sickness syndrome? Reportedly, this condition afflicts a large percentage of the world’s population. What is it? “The love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10, King James Version)
???????
Some people have indeed developed a fondness for money and have devoted themselves to the accumulation of riches. Some have become slaves of money and have reaped tragic consequences. When managed properly, however, money can be a useful tool. The Bible acknowledges that “money solves a lot of problems.”—Ecclesiastes 10:19, (Holy Bible—Easy-to-Read Version)
???????
Money may be your master if . . .
? You avoid discussing finances because of the anxiety it causes
? Money is often the subject of family squabbles
? You spend compulsively
? You worry constantly about bills
? You are not sure how much you earn
? You are not sure how much you spend
? You are not sure how much you owe
? Your bills are often bigger than what you expect
? You often pay your bills late
? You are able to make only the minimum payment on credit card bills
? You pay your bills with money earmarked for other things
? You take on extra work just to pay bills
? You have taken out new loans to pay off old ones
? You use savings to pay routine bills
? You find it nearly impossible to get to the end of the month without running out of 
money
? You feel pressure to accumulate large sums of money
? You suffer physical and/or psychological symptoms resulting from money-related stress -

What Kind of Love Brings True Happiness?
“Happy is the people whose God is Jehovah!”—PS. 144:15.
Look at the 10th line: “Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” Do you know what the biggest money making industry in the whole world is today? $$$$ - Entertainment! ? Selfishness and Pleasures, Pornography.

An  autumn  video  with  an  English  song  - Jehovah's  beautiful  season...
HERBST  is    ? ? ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•.  ? ? ?    AUTUMN....

Proverbs 2:1-6 – "My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself,
2 so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment;
3 if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself,
4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it,
5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God.
6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment."

The Bible’s answer :
The Bible does not mention Halloween. However, both the ancient origins of Halloween and its modern customs show it to be a celebration based on false beliefs about the dead and invisible spirits, or demons.—See  “Halloween history and customs.”
The Bible warns: “There must never be anyone among you who . . . consults ghosts or spirits, or calls up the dead.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, The Jerusalem Bible) While some view Halloween as harmless fun, the Bible indicates that the practices associated with it are not. At 1 Corinthians 10:20, 21, the Bible says: “I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.”—New International Version.

"COME LORD JESUS!"
???????
Revelation 6:1 6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder: “Come!” 2 And I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest." 
???????
The expression “until I come” reminds us of Jesus’ reference to “the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28) John remains until Jesus comes in that John is later given a prophetic vision of Jesuscoming in Kingdom power. Near the end of John’s life, while in exile on the isle of Patmos, he receives the Revelation with all its amazing prophetic signs of events that are to occur during “the Lord’s day.” John is so deeply moved by these spectacular visions that when Jesus says: “Yes; I am coming quickly,” John exclaims: “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.”—Revelation 1:1, 10; 22:20.
???????
After a cloud caught Jesus up from the disciples’ vision, the angels said: “This Jesus who was received up from you into the sky will come this in the same manner as you have beheld him going into the sky.”—Acts 1:9-11.
???????
Jesus’ departure was observed only by his loyal followers. As with the transfiguration, there was no public display; the world in general was not even aware of what had occurred. The same would be true when Christ returned in Kingdom power. (John 14:19) 
???????
Only his faithful anointed disciples would discern his royal presence. In the next article, we will see how that insight would have a profound effect on them, culminating in the gathering of millions who would become Jesus’ earthly subjects.—Revelation 7:9, 14.

Man arrested after an interruption in Jehovah's witness room in North Stonington, Connecticut, USA 
A man from voluntown was hospitalized on Sunday after he interrupted a service in a hall of Jehovah's witnesses and tried to cut the wires into the sound system in the building.
The State Police accused Paul Johnson, 34, of 116 Ekonk Hill Road, of first-degree criminal rape, violation of peace and threat after saying he walked through the front doors of the hall of the witness kingdom Jehovah on route 184 carrying wire cutters at approximately 11:30 am
Witnesses told the police that Johnson, who was intoxicated, was "Belligerent, threatening and alarmed about 104 members present", according to an arrest report.
Several members of the church stopped him from trying to cut the wires to the sound system with the wire cutters and called the police. No injuries reported.
Johnson was arrested and later taken to William w hospital. Backus.

2 days ago Report   No one has any right to walk into a place of worship and destroy property. I don't care what religion it is or what church. Or home or other property as well. I also agree that people should not be allowed to enter a property based on their religious beliefs. 
But let me pass on a true story that I am aware of. Also understand that I am NOT a part of this religious group. 
Several years ago this religious group held a large meeting at Yankee Stadium. The place was packed with Jehovah Witnesses. I happened to know a few of the police officers who were working there at the time. You know what they told me ? "It was the First Time that Yankee Stadium was completely full and there was NOT any need for even ONE NYC Police Officer to be there". TRUE STORY. No incidents occurred the entire time that group was there. Hasn't been the same since.

So after lots of thought, lots of prayers,  and encouragement from a dear friend,  I’ve decided to take the plunge and learn a language I’ve always wanted to learn: Japanese! 
I know it won’t be easy but I’m really looking forward to all the new experiences that this will open up for me to do more in Jehovah’s service and to hopefully be a help to my brothers and sisters. 
Can’t wait to meet you all in the Japanese field!
