  1. Past hour
  2. Friday, June 26 You will . . . see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person.—Mal. 3:18. The Bible names more than 40 men who ruled as kings of Israel. The good kings did some bad things. Consider good King David. Jehovah said: “My servant David . . . walked after me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.” (1 Ki. 14:8) Yet, that man committed sexual immorality with a married woman and conspired to have her husband killed in battle. (2 Sam. 11:4, 14, 15) On the other hand, many of the unfaithful kings did some good things. Consider Rehoboam. In Jehovah’s eyes, he “did what was bad.” (2 Chron. 12:14) Yet, Rehoboam obeyed God’s order to have ten tribes break away from his kingdom. He also benefited his nation by fortifying its cities. (1 Ki. 12:21-24; 2 Chron. 11:5-12) How did Jehovah determine whether a king was faithful in His eyes? Evidently, He took into consideration his heart condition, his repentance, and his adherence to true worship. w24.07 20 ¶1-3
  3. See! That's me. Exactly, that's why I do my best to not worry about the GT and dying. Statistically speaking more of the brothers and sisters die because of an event striking versus not following directions. I think Jehovah is at least telling me that. Sure times will be significantly harder leading up to and during the GT. But we weren't born and certainly hadn't started relying in Jehovah yesterday. Now if you've never had to rely on Jehovah and did everything yourself. I dunno. I'm sure a lot plays in to the too. I think about the sister in the Paradise fire. You choose, your way (left) or Jehovah's (right.) Sure there will be incidentals but I doubt following direction will get you killed? Sounds not that great. At least in my mind and why is emphasized so much. Otherwise, my trauma filled rejection syndrome mind says, why bother? Just die now!
  4. Today
  5. Never amazes me that with most of the updates there is a hidden surprise. No there is NO update it is 4.1.0. I use one of the most common Android phone Samsung Galaxy S-21 with Android 15. Hopefully it gets fixed as I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall and have another surprise. And NO the update NOW doesn't fix it, neither the restart or shut down fixes it.
  6. That is very helpful, thank you so much! Our only fear is that the "less desirable" territories will sit in the bank of available territories and not get checked out. Whereas if they were manually assigned, we could keep the territories worked consistently. Is that an issue for anyone else currently using the auto assigned?
  7. I can follow directions as long as I understand them..😂 all through grade school every report card contained check marks for 'follows instructions well.' Then penciled in at bottom it said talks in class too much. I can not remember ever the teacher saying limit your talking during class. Or if they did I was talking and didn't hear them. 🤪😝😱 I.just don't want to be the one with the perplexed look on their face asking 'What did he say?' so I hope the instructions are short, loud and clear.
  8. All Jehovah has taught me and ever taught me through our own disasters in California plus COVID, neutrality, wars, protests, and down our history, follow directions, even if it doesn't make sense. 🤣
  9. The Self-Assign territories are whatever you choose and the publisher selects the one they want manually from a list (which will show the area it is in). Here is what it looks like in our NW Publisher. For getting it ready to Self-Assign, this is what the assignment screen looks like in NW Scheduler: There is no auto assign feature in NWS/P; but, under requests, publishers can put in a note requesting the area, but it is all manually assigned still. Does that answer your question?
  10. little late to the convo; but I've always understood at Armageddon we would get max protection.
  11. 8.2 Update I did just do the update, first item I noticed was it wants me to send data, publisher reports, 6264! Let's hope when I send, I don't crash everyone....
  12. NWS Mobile. After update a note is in NWS: NWS Mobile is now very stable. We have improved the User Interface and added many more features. --- For those using NWS Mobile, is is stable enough for real time use? Or are they still considering it in Beta? tia
  13. for as long as I live I inferred that during A Day we will have physical individual protection (based on obedience). It’s nice to see thorough scriptural support to this idea. The closer we get to these event the brighter and more detailed information

  16. You’re absolutely correct. I’ve been in the same situation, sitting there and not knowing the answers. Thank you for the reminder.
  17. Hi Brothers and sisters I noticed I have progressed on this site in Rank, to an enthusiast. It makes me sound scarily out there:) But in this case I accept it as a compliment. When you have felt like you have been stuck in a corner for so long and all of a sudden you have a freedom of expression to the praise of Jehovah, I'm an enthusiast!😁
  18. Thursday, June 25 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.—Isa. 41:10. Consider how our life would be if we were not serving Jehovah. Doing so can help us to stick to a faithful course and conclude as did the psalmist: “As for me, drawing near to God is good for me.” (Ps. 73:28) We can face whatever challenges come our way during these last days because we “slave for a living and true God.” (1 Thess. 1:9) Our God is a real Person who acts in behalf of those who worship him. He proved to be with his servants in the past, and he is with us today. We will soon face the greatest tribulation to occur on earth. But we will not face it alone. May we all “be of good courage and say: ‘Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid.’”—Heb. 13:5, 6. w24.06 25 ¶17-18

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
