What's the Weather like where you live?
MullumMiss replied to Loopy's topic in General Discussion & Everyday Chit Chat
Yesterday 3rd day of Spring 33.5C here in Coffs coast NSW Australia. I’m currently getting quotes for air conditioning as my new place only has AC downstairs. Looks like I’m going to “need” it. It also looked and smelled like there were bush fires nearby. Welcome to Spring/Summer in Australia! - Today

Any news on our brotherhood there? Hope to receive some news soon. -

Germany reports a record 16,300 heat-related deaths from this summer's heat waves. That is considerably larger than the Spain figure we posted, so I would investigate that one further before writing it up. _ This the whole summer compared to Spain's one month report. -
Im sorry to hear about these old people. On a positive side, they went to sleep peacefully, compare to people who were drowned in Nepal or victims from violence. -
Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

So are they taking us all to Mars or something?

May our King, Jesus, come soon and give the command: “Silence!”—bringing an end to all these wars and suffering. Our Christian love to all of you. May Jehovah take care of each one who is being affected by these wars.

We may be quick to say that folkloric characters such as Zeus, Baal or Isis do not exist.
But it's interesting that the Bible identifies them as demons, which do exist.
For example, Psalm 106:37 and Deuteronomy 32:17 speak of the apostate Israelites sacrificing their children to the demons.
The Hebrew word used here is לַשֵּֽׁדִים (lashedim). It originally refers to the shedu, the protective deities of the Akkadians.
In the New Testament, the writers used the word δαιμόνια (daimonia). But where did they get this word? It was used by the Greeks for lesser divinities, intermediaties between mankind and the gods.
Clearly, for the worshippers of Jehovah, idols were not merely inanimate objects. They may have been ascribed imaginary backstories, but there really was a real spiritual presence that influenced the daily lives of these heathens. And this influence was not benign contrary to what they believed, but harmful.
So demons are the ones who throughout all history and all cultures been identified as immaterial beings. They have been revered and given mythological origins, or they have been feared and mistaken for the ghosts of the deseased. Demons enjoy deceiving and torturing mankind.
But the Holy Bible contains passages about seeking refuge in God when facing evil:
James 4:7 — “Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.”

Now we faced with the new challenges: every day Russsian drones and rockets hits storages and facilities. Seems soon we will have shortages of goods, electricity and water. Branch already provide us with recommendations how to сoping with the lack of water, electricity, and heating. Looks like we will be in for the hardest winter of this war. E.g. yesterday the largest postal delivery storage in our city has been destroyed. Also the largest civil factory was destroyed month ago. Central police department has been hit 2 weeks ago.

Heat warning downgraded at 5 PM EDT due to Major Thunderstorms with alert for possible Tornadoes. Was just scimming our southern part of city but has since turned very dark. Meeting on Zoom tonight. -
Thursday, September 3 Will the Judge of all the earth not do what is right?—Gen. 18:25. Do we have good reason for confidence regarding all of Jehovah’s judgments, both favorable and unfavorable? Yes! As Abraham understood so well, Jehovah is the perfect, all-wise, merciful “Judge of all the earth.” He has trained his Son and delegated all judging to him. (John 5:22) Both Father and Son can read what lies in each human heart. (Matt. 9:4) In every case, they will do “what is right”! Let us be determined to trust that Jehovah knows best. We recognize that we are not qualified to judge—but he is! (Isa. 55:8, 9) So we confidently leave all the judging to him and his Son, the King who perfectly reflects his Father’s justice and mercy.—Isa. 11:3, 4. w24.05 7 ¶18-19 -
In the United States, not every death in which heat played a role is reported as a heat-related death. Heat often worsens existing conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, or respiratory illness, but unless medical evidence supports listing heat as a contributing factor on the death certificate, it may not be counted as heat-related. As a result, official totals are generally considered an underestimate of heat's true impact. The CDC only accounts for an average of 800 deaths a year in the United States.

I have been active in the field ministry since 1949. In the 76+ years since then I have at times run into VERY opposed individuals, as well as a couple of times when I thought they might be apostate. In cases where the individual was rational, reasonable, and ready to reason, I would talk with them for a while. When the conversation got the the point that it was obvious there would not be a successful conclusion, I would say "It is apparent that we see things differently" and then leave. In cases where the person was NOT rational or reasonable, I have just turned around a left. If we think just turning around and leaving is bad manners, just think of all of the times a door has been slammed in your face. Thanks, Jim P.S. My comment about slamming doors goes back to many years ago. Candidly, I cannot remember that heppening to me in the past 10 years. P.P.S. But if the person is totally not rational, sometimes all you can do is just leave. -

NASA's Hubble Tracks New Decagon Encircling Saturn’s South Pole Release date: 2 Sept 2026 2pm; ID: 2026-022 10-sided wave appears to strengthen in year-over-year Hubble observations Stunning portraits of the gas giants in our solar system over the last several decades can make these planets seem like familiar, unchanging worlds. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and Saturn’s famous northern hexagon are recognizable features that have persisted for years, reinforcing that message. However, astronomers know that these planets are actually constantly in motion, changing much like our own Earth. The latest major discovery from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope offers a striking example: a newly formed, 10-sided atmospheric wave, called a decagon, encircling Saturn’s south pole. Researchers are just beginning to piece together the history of this new feature and investigate what its evolution can reveal about the dynamic atmospheres of gas giant planets. Article link: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2026/news-2026-022/ Pic Description: Recent NASA Hubble Space Telescope images show the gas giant Saturn and its southern pole, where astronomers have discovered a 10-sided atmospheric wave. Observations show the decagon extends through multiple layers of Saturn’s atmosphere.

Lets no deny others lived experience. The 'badge of honour' is used by real apostates also. Sometimes we cant escape minimal contact with them if they are family or ex family. -

It's not a matter of weight, it's your metabolism that will really benefit your health. -

Post in 1975 End of World ?
jwhess posted a post in a topic,
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.”
