And collect chocolate and Judge Rutherford Rainbow books to make my house look pretty.

Back in my childhood, I grew up in the mountains. We had so many different birds that I had my own little "bird feather collection." 😄 Whenever I found a feather on the ground I take it and stick it inside a book and write the bird's name. I ask elders if I don't know the bird's name.. But my weirdest hobby? Proverbs! 🤣 Whenever someone especially aged people said a Malayalam proverb I'd instantly remember both the proverb and its meaning. Later, I'd sit down and neatly write it in my notebook. Funny ones, wise ones, sarcastic ones—I wanted them all! My grandma was the ultimate proverb encyclopedia. ❤️ She knew so many, and I learned a lot from her. Before I knew it, I had a whole notebook filled with proverbs that many people don't even know today. Sadly... when we shifted houses, those precious books disappeared, also my hobbies...

This is the second time that a WTLIB update posted information before it showed up anywhere else.

I like to collect bookmarks and post cards. I also have a small collection of fridge magnets. I use some of my bookmarks, but only certain ones that I have picked up. As far as my postcards, I have quite a few as my sister and her hubby travel a couple of times a year, and my niece and her hubby travel more often, so they both will bring me something from wherever. I can't think of any favorites now, but that has made me want to go thru them all and look at them ..Maybe I can name some later.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/london/article/house-destroyed-after-reported-explosion-one-person-taken-to-hospital-in-critical-condition/ Just a few hundred feet from Kingdom Hall. Road still blocked over 8 hours later. Extensive debris field, cars next door damaged, glass from house across the street. I can see emergency vehicles with light flashing at 10:15 pm, one looks like service vehicle with Amber lights. Could be gas company or city crew cleaning up roadway. House was supposed to be empty, pending rezoning for small high rise, but a person was severely injured crawling out of debris thus was either a homeless squatter or set the whole thing off. May never know. Meeting was on zoom tonight. One sister lives in apartment bdg next door and thought her bdg was coming down. We just 1/3 mile away heard it so did the other 60 JWs in our bdg.

I am not a collector as such. However, I do have a Buescher alto saxophone I bought in the mid early 1970's. I even got to play it in the orchestra when we had one. Of course, it dates back before I had it since the guy I bought it from had it since he was a child and he was selling it because he was graduating from the University. I also have a 12-string Hofner guitar I got in 1972 and a 6-string Silvertone (sold by Sears) from 1962. Other than that, I do have several wood bowls and boxes of various sizes, shapes and woods. I have these because I turn them myself.

Did he also get a free, matching sandal or … ?

Are you a Collector/Hobbyist/investor? How did you start collecting? What are your favorite collectibles? What’s your favorite item you own, and why is it special to you? How do you usually find good deals—shops, shows, auctions, online marketplaces? I have a collection of sports cards and music CDs. I thought this topic might be fun! A chance to have some enjoyable discussions and walk down "memory lane" about various things we have collected over the years!

I wondered - are we? or not? I found this: Awake! 1997 "Should Christians Be Pacifists?" Were ‘the ancient Christian doctrine and the whole spirit of the Gospel’ really pacifist, however? Could early Christians truly be described as pacifists, as defined previously? No! Why not? For one thing, they recognized God’s right to wage war. (Exodus 14:13, 14; 15:1-4; Joshua 10:14; Isaiah 30:30-32) Besides that, they never disputed God’s right to authorize ancient Israel to fight for him when that nation served as his sole instrument on earth.—Psalm 144:1; Acts 7:45; Hebrews 11:32-34. True Christians love peace. They stay completely neutral in the world’s military, political, and ethnic conflicts. But, strictly speaking, they are not pacifists. Why? Because they welcome God’s war that will finally enforce his will on earth—a war that will settle the great issue of universal sovereignty and rid the earth of all enemies of peace once and for all.—Jeremiah 25:31-33; Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:9, 10. And: the Video "Jehovah's Witnesses-Faith in Action, Part2: Let the Light Shine "We're not pacifists. Jehovah is not a pacifist; neither is his Son, Jesus Christ." >> jump to 11.46 Kind of glad this subject came up. Pretty sure I've read all this but now my memory is refreshed. So, yeah, thanks!

How many episodes does this movie have?

Don't buy premium unless your vehicle requires it. It doesn't give you better mileage or clean your engine, it's just a higher octane. If you buy gasoline that isn't Top Tier, periodically buy a tank of Top Tier to help clean things up a little, but your best option is to buy Top Tier gasoline every time.

From everything I’ve seen about the way his businesses have been run, it’s not surprising. Scams-R-Us Empire. Not that he’s any different than the rest of the big wig companies….The social media, AI and Amazon moguls are greed personified.

Good to know. I had read on a chat board about someone getting better gas mileage with premium so I tried it and it didn’t make a difference to me. However, we almost always get Costco gas so maybe that’s why. It’s already top tier for all grades.

Well, that didn't seem to last long.. https://share.google/425fRoA5eZgqGaDYw

Thursday, July 30 God in his kindness is trying to lead you to repentance.—Rom. 2:4. Elders who serve on committees have a responsibility before Jehovah to keep the congregation clean. (1 Cor. 5:7) They also want wrongdoers to be moved to repentance if possible. To that end, elders maintain a positive, hopeful outlook. Why? Because they want to imitate Jehovah, who is “very tender in affection and merciful.” (Jas. 5:11) Note how the aged apostle John showed such a spirit. He wrote: “My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one.” (1 John 2:1) Sadly, there are times when a Christian refuses to repent. If so, he must be removed from the congregation. w24.08 25 ¶19-20

Doubles are often used in the movies, so the expensive, highly paid actors don't get hurt while leaning on shovels.

The journalist who wrote the NYTimes article needs some objectivity. Her opening line; "The Jehovah's Witnesses, a pacifist religious group" is her viewpoint. Everything she wrote after that line is evidence that JW's are not a pacifist group under all circumstances. Jehovah's Witnesses fight when necessary, and this is one of those times. The article, dated January 25, 2022, says "While Berlin has memorials for the murdered Jews, Sinti and Roma, gay people and euthanasia victims, there is no memorial as yet dedicated to the Jehovah's Witnesses killed by the Nazis". However, on June 24, 2026 officials in Berlin dedicated a memorial recognizing the courage of Jehovah's Witnesses during the Nazi era.
