I understand your mixed emotions  @Fmadriaga ??  My feelings similar....  We don't know, how exactly is Jehovah's way by this and that   We never forget,  Jehovah's name around the Earth is on first place !  Our big letter campain was perfect for that !  Jehovah knows, one day we are all free again? He also knew, we will write these millions of letters, so around the world, of course also in Russia, HIS name will registered by tons of humans !  In Venezuela its also very sad just now,  many JW were killed all days and still much more ;-((
Jehovah is watching that, believe me...  We all know, our thoughts are NOT Jehova's thoughts !  HE can look into the future and HE has all under control, good we knowing that.  Not be sad,  Jehovah will bring our bad system very soon to a good end. HE is our loving FATHER??  Best wishes from Germany, Agape ! 

On behalf of the United States Branch Committee it's my privilege to speak with you for a few minutes.
You dear friends have been close to our minds and hearts over the past days, and we have been earnestly supplicating Jehovah in your behalf. This is especially the case since many of you are now preparing for yet another storm, Maria. 
As you know, over the past few weeks portions of our Branch territory have suffered greatly as a result of numerous storms. Because of this our Branch Committee has been working very closely with the Disaster Relief Desk here at the Branch to keep up-to-date on the difficult situation being faced by so many.
However today, we want to talk to you who have been directly affected by Hurricane Irma. We want you to know that already your Circuit Overseers and four Disaster Relief Committees are working tirelessly, responding to your immediate needs and organizing for a long-term relief effort.
It is evident that you have taken to heart Proverbs 22:3 where it states “the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.”
We want to some sincerely commend you dear ones for working in harmony with the organizational arrangements put in place for situations like these. Due to your excellent cooperation with the local elders and your congregation, information about your condition has been made available quickly, which greatly assist us in caring for your immediate and long-term needs. We also wish to thank those of you who, out of brotherly love, immediately made homes available to receive brothers and sisters who have been displaced, as well as those who have assisted in other practical ways.
You will be pleased to know that representatives from the branch will be visiting your area this weekend and will assist your local brothers to begin laying the foundation for a successful relief effort. In addition, we have asked that they visit many of you personally, and view the extent of damage this hurricane has caused.
The relief effort is sure to extend into the coming weeks and months. Therefore continue to work along with your local elders and the circuit overseer as they provide direction. As soon as possible please try to resume your theocratic routine and be alert to opportunities to provide spiritual and emotional support to others including your neighbors. 
In addition be assured that we are making every effort to help you.
In the meantime remember that Jehovah is aware of your situation and is your fortress in times of distress as stated at Psalm 37:39. In addition please continue to take to heart these words at Psalm 62:8 “Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your hearts before him. God is a refuge for us.”
It is with deep heartfelt love that our Committee sends this message to you.
You friends are dear to our hearts and it is our sincere prayer that Jehovah will care for you and watch over you in the days to come.

NIGERIA
Heavy Rainfall in Nigeria
Extreme rains in southwest Nigeria from July 6 through July 12, 2017, caused flooding in the states of Delta state, isoko north, LGA,  Lagos, Niger, and Oyo. News reports indicate that at least 18 people have died as a result.
The branch office of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses in Nigeria has confirmed that none of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses have been killed or injured during this disaster, though four were displaced. Additionally, two of the WitnessesÂ’ homes sustained damage and another one was destroyed. Witnesses in Nigeria are providing relief aid to their fellow worshippers as well as their non-Witness neighbors, a number of whom also were displaced or lost homes.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM BAD !!!!
The organization is making a global campaign to inform OUR PARENTS of extreme vigilance towards their minor children, preventing them from being attracted to the attention of predators, their way of dressing and making up.
In no way does the slave make children guilty of the violations that are happening, even among our own.
In no way do our children DECEIVE their VIOLATORS, using provocative clothes.
The system teaches that NOTHING CAN AVOID SEXUAL ASSAULT if it is decided.
Our religion teaches that ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES that attract sexual predators is a provocative image and this matter can be corrected immediately by the parents.

A publisher from Thailand comments on the photo; Actually in Thailand it is the rainy season, in particular, in Northern Thailand it is raining a lot.
?????
This is the Karen people not far from ban mae sarisng (50 km from Myanmar). I walked for 35 miles. Through the jungle, rice fields, cross rivers, get dirty in the mud, and wet in the rain, bitten by a bunch of bugs. But this does not stop me from carrying my 11 pounds of a bag with toys, food and gifts to the people, but most importantly: God's message in his own language.
?????
In fact, the Jehovah's witness branch in Thailand is translating publications and videos into three dialects of Karen's people. Some of them may also speak of Burmese, but most of them have forgotten.
?????
They were very surprised to hear the message of God in their own language and dialect near Jehovah for the first time. They were listening carefully, sometimes smiling and you know. Being surrounded by 12-13 people on some occasion was very exciting! Inside you you feel a lot of happiness and joy even if you are so tired.
?????
And you can really see how the words of Jesus in the Matthew 24:14 is coming true I am grateful to the organization of the Lord to provide spiritual food!

Never say you are busy!
UPBUILDING STORY
??????????
This is a story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, a man in Japan breaks open the wall.
??????????
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of it's feet.
??????????
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed five years ago when the house was first built!
??????????
What happened ?...
The lizard had survived in such position for five years.
In a dark wall partition for five years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.
??????????
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for five years without moving a single step since it's foot was nailed !
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
??????????
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ah !... He was stunned and touched deeply,...
??????????
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past five years.
Imagine ?...
??????????
It has been doing that untiringly for five long years, without giving up hope on it's partner.
Imagine what this small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind like us can't.
??????????
Please never abandon your loved ones. Never say you are busy when they Really Need You.
??????????
You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet.
But You Might Be The Only World To Them.
??????????
A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you through all odds,...
Before you say something, just remember it takes a moment to break, but an entire lifetime to make.

"May my prayer be prepared as incense before you."—Ps. 141:2
????????
God expects us to desist from dead works and to study his Word, pray, and attend Christian meetings. And Christian family heads take the initiative in conducting family worship with the members of their own households. (1 Thess. 5:17; Heb. 10:24, 25) 
????????
Think for a moment about your prayers—about their regularity and their quality. The book of Revelation likens “the prayers of the holy ones” to incense in that acceptable prayers rise to Jehovah like a sweet-smelling and pleasant odor. (Rev. 5:8) 
????????
In ancient Israel, the incense that was regularly offered on Jehovah’s altar had to be carefully and precisely prepared. It was acceptable to Jehovah only if offered according to the guidelines that he had established. (Ex. 30:34-37; Lev. 10:1, 2) 
????????
If our heartfelt prayers are similarly formulated, then we can be sure that they are acceptable to Jehovah.
