  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. If I knew what "verse mapping" was I might be able to answer that. But whatever it entails, it doesn't sound like it's something that involves actually digging deep to find out what Jehovah intended us to understand about that scripture. Do you remember the concordance? Would that help in verse mapping? I was merely referring to the fact that I don't trust AI to tell me what Jehovah meant us to understand about Bible doctrine, principles and his standards. Even a scripture as simple as John 1:1 will not be correctly understood by AI or the creative days in Genesis. If I want to dig deep I'm not using AI.
  4. Yesterday
  5. Wet roosters instinctively started here H E E E R
  6. He wasn't referring to NWP/NWS in general. We use it abundantly for pretty much everything that it offers, with the exception of territory. According to his analysis the territory management is ideal only for congregations that work their territory door to door. In Spanish we work from a list of Spanish speaking addresses, rather than visiting every door in the territory.
  7. Could use a little more information (Prov 18:13). Do the main features of NWP work well in your foreign language? Are maps (ie, Google, OpenStreetMap, Bing) available in your foreign language? Is he concerned more about creating territory boundaries? Or about adding addresses? Is your territory rural and sparsely settled, or more like residential? What part of NWP does he think will not work well?
  8. Many brothers and sisters today reflect the spirit shown by the Nazirites, not through a formal vow, but through thoughtful, intentional choices. To make room for the ministry, they simplify routines, adjust employment, or set aside personal preferences. Some are able to commit to a specific hour requirement as auxiliary pioneers or regular pioneers, while others give what circumstances allow. Notice, though, that Jehovah does not measure devotion by a title or a number. What he values is the willing heart that arranges life around sacred service. As the Scriptures assure us: “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.” —Hebrews 6:10, NWT. Often, those sacrifices are supported by quiet cooperation within the family. A mate’s encouragement, a family’s flexibility, or a shared willingness to adjust schedules can make faithful service possible. That cooperation is not secondary; it is part of the offering itself. The Bible reminds us: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work.” —Ecclesiastes 4:9, NWT. Whether family members serve alongside one another or support the ministry through patience and understanding, Jehovah sees the unity behind the effort, and he treasures the spirit that moves a household to put Kingdom interests first.
  9. Wednesday, December 17 He is holy to Jehovah all the days of his Naziriteship.—Num. 6:8. Do you treasure your relationship with Jehovah? No doubt you do! Since ancient times, untold multitudes have felt the same way as you do. (Ps. 104:33, 34) Many have made sacrifices to worship Jehovah. That was certainly the case with those in ancient Israel known as Nazirites, or dedicated ones. This term aptly describes the zealous Israelites who made certain personal sacrifices to serve Jehovah in a special way. The Mosaic Law allowed for a man or a woman to make a special vow to Jehovah by choosing to live as a Nazirite for a period of time. (Num. 6:1, 2) That vow, or solemn promise, involved following guidelines that the rest of the Israelites did not have to observe. Why, then, would an Israelite choose to take the Nazirite vow? Such an Israelite was likely motivated by deep love for Jehovah and sincere gratitude for His rich blessing.—Deut. 6:5; 16:17. w24.02 14 ¶1-2
  10. Are any using the territories module in a foreign language congregation? In my congregation (foreign language) we currently take advantage of most of the features of NWS/NWP, however for territory we use Alba. After his analysis, our SO has reported that NWS/NWP is not ideal for foreign language congregations. Any observations or personal experience?
  11. I wonder about the five US permanently inhabited unincorporated territories - four are listed, but one isn't 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States American Samoa https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/worldwide/AS/ Guam https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/worldwide/GU/ Puerto Rico https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/worldwide/PR/ United States Virgin Islands https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/worldwide/VI/ Northern Mariana Islands NOT LISTED, but had 55 homes of witnesses living on the Islands in 2018? 🤔🤷‍♂️ https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/micronesia/super-typhoon-yutu-20181102/ For Britain, I think all the permanently inhabited BTOs likely to have Witnesses living on them ARE listed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories While British Crown Dependencies are NOT listed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Dependencies
  12. Inventor of the first lightbulb was NOT Thomas Edison.
  13. Many people believe the inventor of the fire hydrant Is unknown, whomever that was has had their I'd determined to be unknown, due to fire, Not accurate. It's probably Frederick Graff, neighbor of Thomas Jefferson.
  14. I like reading the different responses. It's like watching a tennis match. Someone poses a question or thought that may have never occured to me, then one gives a reply, I see and like the response, then the next person gives a different reply. It allows me to consider the many different ways that things may happen but I know only Jehovah will reveal the correct one. It keeps my curiosity high.
  15. The language used in Revelation 18:19,21 rather indicates that it will be attack not the procedure, triggering GT and events that mankind never experienced before. Upcoming GT is called GT for a reason .
  16. Bougainville will have to be added at some point. The population voted for independence in a referendum. At the latest, Bougainville should appear in the report once the state is founded. (Bougainville was already listed as a territory in the report from 1969 to 1975).
  17. Life intrudes. testing timely litanies B Y K W L
  18. To avoid starting a new thread, I'll ask here. Wouldn't today be the day for the new study magazine?
  19. The answer to your question may be that it won't involve a ban, per se'. The nations may decide that religion should pay taxes on their revenue and assets like everyone else. This would effectively put false religion out of business. The governments could move to seize their bank accounts and properties without "banning" them. Probably religions would try to resist and fight back. Then they could be shut-down as an enemy of the state. It will be amazing to witness . . .
  20. They are real, when you consider: 1. Bigfoot - the word Pioneer, has an origin in French foot soldiers, whose feet became sore, inflamed and 'bigger' through use. 2. Alien - anyone not of the land or of the persuasion of the people, which Jehovah's people become. 3. UFO - Ezekiel's vision is 'unidentified' to anyone other that Jehovah's people. So, yes, it could be said that they are clearly identifiable.
  21. I wonder how the upcoming ban on religion will affect all the nearly isolated indigenous tribal religions, for example all the Sámi peoples in northern Sweden/Lapland, etc..
  22. pelka Please enter little kittens attentively. LITTL
  23. Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men?
  24. Back is a direction most vehicle drivers must use but many are not very proficient.
