USA Sister Reading in Book Study - Nice! ?????

Breaking News! ??? - 2018
In the new examination of the scriptures daily-2018, the reading hours of the Bible are included.
The Bible reading time for 2018 takes us from Matthew with facts, this will allow us a more detailed study than before, in 2013 we covered Matthew to apocalypse.
Most weeks are only 1 OR 2 chapters
A whole year will be dedicated to learning about Jesus. How he imitated the Lord, his personality, his teachings, his interactions with human beings, his mercy, his humility, his earthly family, the support of the Lord for him during his ministry and in the last days or hours before his death... In fact, as John was inspired to write: John 21:25. In fact, there are many other things that
Jesus did, that if they were ever written in any detail, I guess the world itself could not contain written scrolls.
Looking into the future, that means we will have more time for the rest of the Greek Scriptures.
So many things are contained in the letters of Paul and the others. And this year we can take a deeper study of the gospels and the facts.
And with our new change in the ministry, this is gonna be big.
It makes me think that the ruling body expects something big that happens in maybe the next 2 TO 3 years. (which is just my personal opinion) I think 2018 will be an interesting year... with all the changes, something in me detects big changes ahead in the near future

OVERVIEW OF THE HALL WHERE WARWICK HELD, THE ANNUAL MEETING.

awe we're loved! Thank you. @The Librarian for taking care of us! 

Que bello, buen entrenamiento de sus padres. 

Los programas de tv ya no se pueden ver, si acaso las noticias y aun así estan llenas de violencia e inmoralidad. 

Me pareció magnifica. 

Hermosos animalitos que recrean nuestra vista, un regalo maravilloso de nuestro Gran Creador, Jehova Dios.

The Annual meeting whose first presentation ended yesterday Saturday continues today to repeat the programme twice for other guests in the us.
This information is not given to any other country at the moment.
As with all of these events, the president of the meeting often asked that recordings of speeches should not be hung on the internet. But you can make recordings for private use.
We have literally obeyed this request by not hanging on the internet any complete or partial recording or sound of this important meeting, even though there are such recordings.
How do we know what I'm talking about at the meeting?
Because the attendees themselves say it anecdotally giving the main points without giving more information from their notes, which are very abundant.
It is clear that they will not comment on the us brothers who were still going to the meeting today, and so enjoy the new events.
But in no way were the assistants banned from their mouths, who absolutely no one will comment on the great new and prudent slave. Because if that was the case, the rest of the planet won't know anything about it until months and months later, something absurd.
Finished Sunday shows, brothers feel free to talk to anyone who wants to, always avoid hanging on the internet.
That is why, with a clear conscience, we have shared in private in this group, timely and summary comments from the programme. There was nothing confidential.
We encourage those who even have problems of conscience, to abandon this group. Thank you very much.

End of a long era. Yearbooks have been produced for about 90 years!
But seeing as personal experiences and regional JW news stories are video presentations now, I guess it makes the Yearbooks redundant.

Nice illustration at our Quichua Regional 2017 Convention in Riobamba, Ecuador.  
???
This is called a 'Chumbi' and is used to spin yarn with the fingers.  One hand holds the bulk wool from the sheep and the other hand spins yarn with the fingers and rolls it up on the little spool.  The older women always carry this device wherever they go, tending sheep, walking miles to milk their cows or going down dirt roads to weekly markets.  They are always prepared!  
???
The lesson?  For informal witnessing we needs our tools with us and we need to be actively working them whenever we are away from our home and wherever we go!
 Thank you  @ecua_gringo

Showing Respect for Life and Blood – ??? ??????
How should we view life? (1) abortion? (1)
How do Christians show that they are safety conscious? (2)
Is it wrong to kill animals? (3)
What are some practices that do not show respect for life? (4)
What is God’s law on blood? (5)
Does this include blood transfusions? (6)
1. Jehovah is the Source of life. All living things owe their life to God. (Psalm 36:9) Life is sacred to God. Even the life of an unborn child inside its mother is precious to Jehovah. To kill such a developing baby on purpose is wrong in God’s eyes.—Exodus 21:22, 23; Psalm 127:3.
2. True Christians are safety conscious. They make sure that their cars and their homes are safe. (Deuteronomy 22:8) God’s servants do not take unnecessary risks with their lives just for pleasure or excitement. So they do not share in violent sports that deliberately hurt other people. They avoid entertainment that encourages violence.—Psalm 11:5; John 13:35.
3. Animal life is also sacred to the Creator. A Christian may kill animals to provide food and clothing or to protect himself from sickness and danger. (Genesis 3:21; 9:3; Exodus 21:28) But it is wrong to mistreat animals or to kill them just for sport or pleasure.—Proverbs 12:10.
4. Smoking, chewing betel nut, and taking drugs for pleasure are not for Christians. These practices are wrong because (1) they make us their slaves, (2) they harm our bodies, and (3) they are unclean. (Romans 6:19; 12:1; 2 Corinthians 7:1) It can be very hard to give up these habits. But we must do so to please Jehovah.
5. Blood is also sacred in God’s eyes. God says that the soul, or life, is in the blood. So it is wrong to eat blood. It is also wrong to eat the meat of an animal that has not been properly bled. If an animal is strangled or dies in a trap, it should not be eaten. If it is speared or shot, it must be bled quickly if it is to be eaten.—Genesis 9:3, 4; Leviticus 17:13, 14; Acts 15:28, 29.
6. Is it wrong to accept a blood transfusion? Remember, Jehovah requires that we abstain from blood. This means that we must not take into our bodies in any way at all other people’s blood or even our own blood that has been stored. (Acts 21:25) So true Christians will not accept a blood transfusion. They will accept other kinds of medical treatment, such as transfusion of nonblood products. They want to live, but they will not try to save their life by breaking God’s laws.—Matthew 16:25.

Are You Looking at Worthless Things? - Why Our Life is Involved and Why We Should Avoid Them! - This is No Cute Joke! 
???????
(Psalm 119:37) Make my eyes pass on from seeing what is worthless; Preserve me alive in your own way."
Worthless Things to Avoid
In today’s world, it has become increasingly common to ‘keep on looking’ at pornography, particularly on the Internet. We do not have to look for such sites—they look for us! In what way? An ad with an enticing picture may suddenly appear on one’s computer screen. 
???????
Or an innocuous-looking e-mail, once opened, may explode into a pornographic picture designed in such a way as to make exiting from it difficult. Even if a person gets only a glimpse before deleting it, the image has already made an impression on his mind. Just a brief brush with pornography can have sad consequences. 
It can leave an individual with a guilty conscience and a struggle to erase immoral scenes from his mind. Worse yet, someone who deliberately “keeps on looking” needs to have his illicit desires deadened.—Read Ephesians 5:3, 4, 12; Col. 3:5, 6.
???????
Children can be drawn into pornography by their natural curiosity. If that happens, it may have lasting effects on their view of sexuality. These effects, notes a report, may range from a distorted sense of sexual norms to “difficulty maintaining a healthy, loving relationship; an unrealistic view of women; and potentially, pornography addiction, which can interfere with school work, friendships and family relationships.” Even more devastating can be the effects later in a marriage relationship.
???????
Another “good-for-nothing,” or worthless, thing to avoid is entertainment that promotes materialism or the occult or that features violence, bloodshed, and death. 
(Psalm 101:3) I shall not set in front of my eyes any good-for-nothing thing. The doing of those who fall away I have hated; It does not cling to me."
???????
Christian parents have the responsibility before Jehovah to be selective about what they allow to be viewed in their home. Of course, no true Christian would deliberately involve himself in spiritism. Still, parents need to be aware of films, TV series, video games, and even comics and childrenÂ’s books that highlight uncanny practices.
(Proverbs 22:5) Thorns [and] traps are in the way of the crooked one; he that is guarding his soul keeps far away from them."
Whether we are young or old, our eyes should find no pleasure in video games that feature violence and depict killing with gory realism. 
(Psalm 11:5) Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, And anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates."
???????
We must refuse to focus our mind on any activity that Jehovah condemns. Remember, Satan is targeting our thoughts. 
(2 Corinthians 11:3) But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, YOUR minds might be corrupted away from the sincerity and the chastity that are due the Christ."
Even spending too much time viewing entertainment that may be considered acceptable can encroach on family worship, daily Bible reading, and our preparation for meetings.
(Philippians 1:9-10) And this is what I continue praying, that YOUR love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment; 10 that YOU may make sure of the more important things, so that YOU may be flawless and not be stumbling others up to the day of Christ."
(Numbers 15:39) ‘And it must serve as a fringed edge for YOU, and YOU must see it and remember all the commandments of Jehovah and do them, and YOU must not go about following YOUR hearts and YOUR eyes, which YOU are following in immoral intercourse."
(Proverbs 4:25) As for your eyes, straight ahead they should look, yes, your own beaming eyes should gaze straight in front of you."
(Proverbs 23:5) Have you caused your eyes to glance at it, when it is nothing? For without fail it makes wings for itself like those of an eagle and flies away toward the heavens."
(Matthew 7:17) Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit."
(Psalm 119:25) My soul has been cleaving to the very dust. Preserve me alive according to your word."

PRAY HARDEST WHEN IT HARDEST TO PRAY  – 
????????
Deuteronomy Highlight Chapter 3:26: Jehovah told Moses “Never speak to me further on this matter.” On occasion, even prayers by God’s servants are not answered. Moses’ prayer to enter the promised land was not heard. 
????????
King David’s prayer in behalf of Bathsheba’s child went unheeded. 
????????
The apostle Paul’s prayer to be delivered from his ‘thorn in the flesh’ went unanswered. 
????????
To be heard, prayers must be in harmony with God’s purposes. So, then, even our failure to understand Jehovah’s purpose in a matter can result in an unanswered prayer. But don’t give up in asking that God’s will be done.

Are You Known by Jehovah?
THEME SCRIPTURE
“Jehovah knows those who belong to him.”—2 TIMOTHY 2:19.
❤️?????❤️
Many people today say that they love God. Of course, we say that too. But there are some important questions that we need to think about: What does Jehovah think of me? Can I say that Jehovah “knows” me or that I have Jehovah’s approval? Does Jehovah think of me as someone who belongs to him? (2 Timothy 2:19) It is wonderful to think that we can have such a close friendship with the most important person in the universe!
❤️?????❤️
But it is hard even for some who love Jehovah to think that they can be friends with God. Some believe that they are not worth anything. Because of that, they think that they cannot belong to Jehovah. It is so good to know that Jehovah sees us in a different way. (1 Samuel 16:7) 
❤️?????❤️
Think about this: Why are you reading this? Why are you trying hard to serve Jehovah with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength? If you dedicated your life to Jehovah and got baptized, why did you do it? 
❤️?????❤️
The Bible says that Jehovah knows hearts and that he finds the people who are “desirable” to him. He then “draws” them, or invites them, to be his friends. (Read Haggai 2:7;John 6:44.) 
❤️?????❤️
So you can be sure that you are serving Jehovah because he wants you to. He will never leave those he invited to be his friends if they continue to be faithful to him. They are precious to God, and he loves them very much.—Psalm 94:14.
❤️?????❤️

Brazilian congregation, gathering of 54 Pioneers

Rejoice in His Works! Give Him Glory and Praise! "He will have subjects from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth." (Ps.72:8). 
?????

"This is our son Caleb who is five years old from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
?????
For Family Worship we dressed up as a mystery Bible character and had to guess. Caleb wanted to dress up like young David who was getting ready to fight Goliath with his sling, bag of rocks and with the Word of Jehovah.
?????
He had so much fun that he didn’t want to take off his costume. He already knows which Bible character he wants to dress up for next Family Worship.”
Thank you,  Carol Peters 

@los4moonyoze shares with us: “This is our 4 year old daughter, Emily. We gave her teacher a folder filled with kid’s activities printed from JW.ORG.
???
Anytime they do a holiday related project or story, she sits Emily off to the side with something from her folder.
???
It was nice to hear the teacher say Jehovah quite a few times, since she had to read Emily the instructions!”

Thank you
