1:35 Music-Video Presentation #11:45 Song No. 105 ["God Is Love”] and PRAYERCHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS : CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS: “Love Never Fails”—Why? ( Romans 8:38, 39; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 8, 13) www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/2019Convention/pub-jwbcov_201905_2_VIDEOWe are happy to be united to discuss the heart warming positive theme of love that never fails. The world is increasingly characterised by its divisiveness and hatred we continue to express our love through our house to house ministry, our relief work and our convention. The word "love" is used often for sexual passion or unrealistic sentimentality, but Christian love is much more enduring and real. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 8, 13. This is agape love VIDEO #1 brother from the governing body (Garett Losch) reviews some events from the year and highlighted why love has been chosen as a theme. Although "philia" is used in scriptures, agape is love guided by principle and sincere concern for the welfare of others, even for those we don't like ( 1 John 4:8) . This love identifies us as Gods people, it will help us better appreciate Gods love and will unite us during the attack of Gog ( Col 3:14; 1 Thess 3:12) Love never fails because it unifies us into one body (Compare 1 Corinthians chapter 12). Love is a "surpassing way" superior to any gift of the spirit because, as Paul reasons, the miraculous gifts wild pass away as the congregation matured from its infancy (read verses 8-11). Without love acts of faith are meaningless. Faith and hope in promises only lasts until that hope is fulfilled Love is eternal. Jehovah himself teaches to love by creating us with the capacity to love, he creates us in an environment of love as expressed through creation ( 1 Thess 4:9 ). He also teaches us to love by means of his loving dealings with us ( Romans 8:38, 39). The greatest of his gifts is of course the ransom . Given Jehovah's example we are under obligation to show love ( 1 John 4:11 ) VIDEO #2 Compilation video : Featuring experiences, dramatisations where love has bee expressed Philipians 1:9-11 Love is never regrettable, it never makes a bad situation worse, it will last forever so let it abound.

10:15 SYMPOSIUM: Beware of Trusting in What Fails! (4 PARTS) INTRODUCTION How can we be sure the best path to stake in live (Deut 32:29). This symposium helps us to anticipate the outcome of our decisions. Satan uses certain things to distract us from the real life. Where we out our trust wil determine weather we succeed or fail [/color][/url]). The present economic hardships are nothing in relation to the collapse of satans entire system. Whatever we do to advance the interest of the kingdom will make us spiritually rich. Pursuing a life of material wealth is incompatible with spiritual growth and success ( Luke 18:24-27 compare ( Mattew 6:24). Although Jesus did not say it was impossible for the materially wealthy to have spiritual success, those who foucus their energy into getting rich may lack the strength needed to survive Armageddon. VIDEO Young witness refuses secular full time opportunities to pioneer.( Prov 23:4, 5) www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/2019Convention/pub-jwbcov_201905_3_VIDEOKnowing material riches will fail we must store up treasures on earth, money, prestige, fame or power ( Mat 6:19-21). Though most people recognise the fickle nature of such fame we must let our life course and decisions be guided by these principles. [li] (PART 2 OF 4) Status and Fame ( Ecclesiastes 2:16; Romans 12:16)[/li][/ul] The business and Entertainment world appeal to the desire for fame. The businessnand entertainment world prey on the greedy, the proud and the insecure, but the bible reveals that when the world is finished "everyone will be forgotten" there is no lasting memory, it is futile ( Ecclesiastes 2:16). Misplaced trust in status and fame can limit our spiritual involvement, compromise bible principles and the pursuit of fame is opposed to modesty and humility ( Romans 12:16) - Christians must remain humble
- not focus and seek recognition or challenges our intellect
- guard against ego # Dramatisation: Sister offered a business opportunity We can pursue recognition from Jehovah, the Most High even though such a thing is not recognised by the world. If we are attracted to Fame and Status, we can look at life stories.

10:15 SYMPOSIUM: Beware of Trusting in What Fails! [/color][/url]). Jehovahs wisdom is like the law of gravity it cannot be defied without consequence - compare Col 2:8. We must all decide whose wisdom we will trust. Human widom is subtlely seductive manner (the worlds morals promoted through movies, animatons) we are protected from being infected by wholesoulded devotoon to Jehovah ( Mat 22:36, 37; Isaiah 5:10) DRAMATIZATION Two young brothers discuss A popular tv series The contrast is between those that both know and trust Jehovahs wisdom by being alerts informed and prepared for the seduced by the poison of human wisdom. By reasoned on Romans 12:1, 2 to descern what is unacceptable to God. Think ahead, use your god given imagination "what would happen if...", By means of gods word we will not need a do not do listnwe will be able tomdetect the slightest hint of godmopposing wisdkm. [li] (PART 4 OF 4) Strength and Beauty ( Proverbs 31:30; 1 Peter 3:3, 4) [/li] The world places much emphasis on stregth and beauty but beauty can be "fleeting" (empty). What is Jehovahs view? We must be careful not to allow the worlds pressures to create a misplaced trust, placing too much emphasis on our appearance like the mythale god narsisius. Over emphasis on our appeance may lead us to neglect the secret person of the heart ( 1 Pet 3:3, 4). Improving our physical appearance is not wrong but many of the worlds fashions are too revealing or sexual. What qualities do we look for in for example a physical mate? Could we be seduced by physical appearance. VIDEO DRAMATIZATION Note how thinking ahead helps a young person look for the right things in a potential mate. Knowing that strength and beauty will fade we must fight to cultivate spiritual qualities.[/ul] 11:05 Song No. 40 and Announcements

2:50 SONG No. 141 [ The Miracle of Life] and Announcements 3:00 SYMPOSIUM: CREATION Reveals Jehovah’s Love (5 PARTS) Creation Reveals Jehovah’s Love for us every day. He is the personification of love and he expresses this in creation. By means of this symposium we will consider what how creation, even mon living things, echo his love and how we can respond to it (compare 1 John 4:8) - (Creation...PART 1 OF 5) The Heavens (Psalm 8:3, 4, Psalm 33:6)
Jehovah's dynamic power is evident in the vast universe but it is also evidence of his love and attention for us. Jehovah prepared the heavens for us, physically insignificant as we are. Our bodies are made from elements formed in the stars (for example carbon). We were not an after thought we are the purpose (Genesis 1:1) Creation was not a grand accident, it was a deliberate act of design and love was within those details (beauty), we should be moved to respond to make a daily public praise in witnessing that love (Rev 4:11)
[/color][/url][/div] - (Creation...PART 2 OF 5) The Earth (Psalm 37:29; Psalm 115:16)
The earth with is the 197 million sq miles of our planet earth. God will not destroy this planet nor allow humans to damage it beyond repair because it is a permanent testimony of his love (see Ps 115). God made a planet to enable its inhabitants to live on it happily. (Fields that protect planet, the oxygenical clycles) Jehovah has promised we will live forever on it (Isaiah 45:18; Psalm 37:29 compare Num 23:19) God will not destroy the planet only the humans that create earths problems (compare Rev 11:18).
How shojld we show our appreciation for the earth.
- dont be wasteful, properly dispose of necessary waste. - help other to learn about Gods purposes for the earth.

- (Creation...PART 3 OF 5) Plants (Genesis 1:11, 29; Genesis 1:11; Acts 14:16, 17)
www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/2019Convention/pub-jwbcov_201905_11_VIDEO
Jehovah creation provides ample evidence of his love and his desire that we enjoy his creative works. Plants continually produce new sets if organs, such as leaves flowers and fruits. On the third day, surface water subsides and dry ground appears. The atmosphere clears to allow more sunlight to reach the earths surface; some vegetation appears with new species sprouting through the 3rd and subsequent days.
VIDEO Amazing features of plants: grass
Plant were created as food to delight our paletts and their beauty was to delight our eyes. The variety is endless a testimony to our father's generosity (Acts 14:16, 17). Adam was assigned to take care of Eden. We should never take plants (such as grass as shown in the vmideo) for granted. May we imitate him in showing love in a variety of ways (Rom 1:11). - (Creation...PART 4 OF 5) Animals (Genesis 1:27, Matthew 6:26)
We can hardly imagine life without animals. They are not just a source of joy and companionship but observing the behaviours can teach us many things including profound lessons about Jehovahs love (Prov 6:6; Jer 8:7). Jehovahs ecosystems and design allows them to survive even thrive in any conditions (Psalms 147:9). Jehovah has shown his concern for animal welfare. Like Jehovah we should view animals with respect and not mistreat them.
Like Jehovah though we must be balanced and not elevate animals to the level of humans. Animals were notcreated with the prospect of everlasting life and only humans were created in Gods image (Gen 1 :27). We can Severn Jehovahs love by means of the God given instinct I animals (Review Math 6:26) If Jehovah loves animals how much more so does He love humans who loved him.
VIDEO Polar bear a marvel of thermal engineering. Creatures livjng in extreme depths.
[/b][/color][/url][/div] [li] (Creation...PART 5 OF 5) The Human Body ( Psalm 139:14; Ecclesiastes 3:11) The gift of procreation is indeed a beautiful remarkable gift. The development of a human embryo inspired King David to describe it as awe inspiring. Solomon knew the strength of a mothers instinct to protect the life of her child, jndeed we all have a desire to continue living (Ecclesiastical 3:11). The complexity of a single cell displays Jehovahs awe inspiring. VIDEO Our senses, our brain are evidence of Gods desire we live and enjoy life forever. Due to imperfections we have disabilities, diseases and death. Jehovah focuses on what we will do as perfect children if God(Rom 8:20, 21). May we continue to strengthen our relationship with God and imitate his loving personality.[/li] [/ul] CREATION : elements & stars -- the atmosphere -- grass -- polar bears -- deep sea creatures -- our senses -- www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/2019Convention/pub-jwbcov_201905_11_VIDEO
