Thanks for that. So that is Putin with a JW family and the joke is that the JW son wants to kick Putin for what he is allowing in Russia. 

I don't get it.

I was just making a joke about the scripture, not the picture

Okay, but there's still something here that feels kind of iffy right now

I knew the brother with that territory has a green car so I just looked for his car...

Whew, makes me feel a lot better. Psalm 38:10

So I gather saying "No, you're funny" is an "inuslt" worthy of a warning point but joking with reference to killing or in the least disrespecting a person of high authority is totally fine.

 

Makes total sense.

That is the picture of the JW family that was given an award by Putin. The little guy on the end looks like he has his arm cocked as if he is ready to punch someone, it is obviously just a moment captured by the camera and does not indicate he has any intention to harm Putin.

 

I used 1 Sam 26:8 about a similar situation David had with King Saul.  Even though Abiishai wanted to harm Saul, David knew it was the wrong thing to do. So even if the young child in the picture wanted to harm Putin, we all know it would be the wrong thing to do. 

 

I tried to capture that thought in a meme...

 

“. . .A·bishʹai now said to David: “Today God has surrendered your enemy into your hand. And now, please, let me pin him to the ground with the spear just once, and I will not need to do it twice.” 9 However, David said to A·bishʹai: “Do not harm him, for who can lift his hand against the anointed of Jehovah and remain innocent?” 10 David continued: “As surely as Jehovah is living, Jehovah himself will strike him down, or his day will come and he will die, or he will go down into battle and perish. 11 It is unthinkable from Jehovah’s standpoint for me to lift my hand against the anointed of Jehovah! So now take, please, the spear next to his head and the water jug, and let us be on our way.”” 1 Samuel 26:8-11

I wonder how that family felt...

translated:

it is the user manual of a hedge trimmer

• usage instruction: only use the item for cutting hedges and bushes
• it is to be used at shoulder lever and  domestic violence 

of course as a man who reads manuals anyway! but than you do and realize why there is so much violence

Das ist nicht gut sein =That is not good (off top of my head - didn't look up spelling. I probably should have left off sein).   Ich spreche nur wenig Deutsch.   (I speak a little bit of German) from high school class.  It would probably be easy to pick up.  If I worked a little harder, I could be a polyglot.  Being lazy, I am just a pauline-glot (picks up phrases in numerous languages, not fluent in any.)

Reminds me of when I first came in to the truth. The guy I studied with had been to other Countries where the need was great. He told me a joke. He said you call people that speak 2 languages bilingual, people that speak 3 languages trilingual. What do you call someone that only speaks 1 language? An American!

(Dutch = Nederlands netherlands ) , (Duits = German duitsland germany) (Danish = spoken in denmark)  ( Flemish Dutch (Vlaams-Nederlands), Belgian Dutch )(Fries spoken in friesland a part of netherlands)  jw.org/nl  jw.org/de jw.org/fy  Flemish only in sign language on jw.org

Fries? I understood that.

There was a group of visitors at our meeting yesterday. One was from Guam, who spoke Tagalog and one from  the Philippines, who also spoke Tagalog. So I got to use a couple of phrases that I Just learned for  my med. team.  The Watchtower conductor tried to get all their names.  Exciting meeting, with input from brothers and  sisters around the world.

It's just about another off-topic post.

In my defense, I don't know how to post memes.  Also, not knowing the steps doesn't stop me from dancing; not knowing the words doesn't stop me from singing.  You know, one of THOSE people.

I wonder if they are making turtle pancakes?
