Ahh yes.

It was a simple thing, and one that was one of my first. Not that good, but seeing it with someone else's name on it as if they were the creator, gives me an odd feeling about it. Not a Pleasant one. I named it 'As apples of gold in silver carvings, so is a word spoken at the right time for it.' Its from the Bible, Proverbs, about how our speech can affect us and those around us, if done in a pleasant way. The name at the bottom of my work says." Bible Speaks" I take it that this is the persons ID.  SMH Just....I dont know, weird

Welcome to  *WALLKILL  BETHEL*   Matthew  4 : 4
4 But he answered: “It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah’s mouth.’”
 

( Look  also  by  Illustrations...)
A TEACHER  is teaching a large class. The teacher is doing the very best job possible in teaching the students all they need to know.
Suddenly, an unruly student in the back of the class stands up, and shouts to everyone in the class......
You are a liar, teacher! You have no right to be teaching this class at all. I know more about the subject than you do, and I can prove it to any fellow student who will listen to me!
What does the teacher do? Does the teacher just call the Principal and have the unruly student evicted immediately from the class, and then continue on, as if nothing had happened?  Think about it for a moment.....If the teacher chose that course of action, then the other students may never know for sure who was correct, and who was the liar, and could be convinced to follow the unruly student.
The teach chooses this solution to the problem....The teacher says to the unruly student: "OK, you come forward, and you teach the class for one week. At the end of the week, it will become quite clear to all onlookers who tells the truth, and who is the liar....  who has the right to teach this class,  and who does not have that right.
Here's the point of this little illustration..... This clearly illustrates exactly what happened in the Garden of Eden, between the serpant, Satan, and Adam and Eve.

The onlookers were the billions of angelic servants of Jehovah God.


The week mentioned for Satan and his demons is not quite over,  but today,  just a little time is left.
In the meantime, whose side do you choose to be on ?
The teacher....   or the unruly student ?

This is what Jehovah has commanded us to do.—Lev. 8:5.

The requirement that Israel’s priesthood be physically clean has real meaning for Jehovah’s people today. (Lev. 8:6) Those with whom we study the Bible often notice that our places of worship are clean and also how neat and well-dressed we are. Yet, the cleanness of the priesthood helps us to realize that anyone who ascends the elevated mountain of Jehovah’s worship must have “a pure heart.” (Ps. 24:3, 4; Isa. 2:2, 3) Our sacred service to God must be rendered with cleansed minds and hearts as well as with clean bodies. This calls for frequent self-examination, after which some may need to make significant changes so that they can be holy. (2 Cor. 13:5) For instance, a baptized person who deliberately views pornography should ask himself, ‘Am I proving myself holy?’ Then he ought to get help to end that vile practice.—Jas. 5:14. w14 11/15 2:3, 6

Hahaha....  I  knew  it,  I  knew  it  ;-))    My  post  about  that  was  OK...
Thank  you, dear  Librarian !  I  believe,  we  still  get  more & more new light !

This should cause some interesting showdowns in congregations all over the United States. LOL
 
Which reminded me of this comical infographic:

After having left Jehovah for almost 20yrs, I gave my first talk with a full beard in Teaneck, NJ.  As an unbaptized publisher I did not shave my beard and went out in service.  (I had come from NH and a few brothers up there wore beards during the winter months. So, I kept the custom, even in the summer months.) 
Just prior to the time for my 2nd talk one of the elders came to me and we had a discussion. I told him about the brothers in NH. He countered with both NJ not being NH and it was the  summer. Then he said that I would not be allowed to give my 2nd talk unless I shaved. (Apparently, at that time only those with a shaving condition known as foliculitus(?) were exempt.)  Desiring to bring praise to my God Jehovah, I shaved and have been doing so for 11yrs running.
