    In a Bible study last week there was a discussion of the prodigal son. So I asked about the meaning of the word prodigal. It's 'wasteful', but got me thinking about words we use but don't really think about the actual meaning.Any other examples?

    WHIPLASH! Yesterday my ENT said my sinuses were healing fast and looked good.

     

    Today I rushed to the ER because apparently the scabs fell off and I started bleeding profusely. So much so I was genuinely scared and called 911.

     

    Took an hour or so to get it to stop. Probably lost half a pint of blood. But now I'm home and will stay up for an hour to make sure it settles down good enough to endure any snoring that might happen when I go to sleep... :sweat:

    France also is in full election talk for 2027, it's a mess. I'm a bit relaxed because I'm no longer living there but all the news are about politics, phewww... we get the food at the proper time with all the neutrality articles

    A brother once said, “If you live on planet Earth, you live in a bad neighborhood.” These days, it feels like the whole neighborhood has gone up in flames. It really makes you think about how close we are to the end of this system and how important it is to stay spiritually awake. I love seeing how all of you are doing that!

    When we have visitors here, we usually encourage a driving tour to the town and up into the mountains, it is a beautiful place. When we visit other places, we just go thrifting!!

  17. Desert Dan
    Does anyone tinker with any microcontrollers like ESP32, Microbit, Arduino, etc? If so, what have you done with it? So much easier to code for than just 5 years ago. I have quite a collection of sensors, AI cameras, communication stuff, LCD/OLED displays, expansion boards and a lot more, but I am still an amateur, but liking what I see out there. It's an amazing world and unbelievably easy these days to make things happen these days. I have servos, step motors and such, but have not experimented with anything robotic yet. I know some of the schools teach their students on the easiest one (Microbit) with Block coding, but you can do JavaScript, MicroPython, etc on some of the IDE's. I have even used AI to come up with some quick code to save time. Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit

    Well, here in Philippines.. endless investigation of corruptions. Billions are stolen from people. Suicides among young men and women are increasing. They're hopeless. Burdened of inflation.
  19. mjcabz
    same here in our country. Even the election is on 2028 but the politics is so chaotic. But neutrality protects us from this kind of struggle.

    I talk about my man-child in food topics, I've lived with him now for a year and a half and he's truly become a trusted friend. This is my man-child, he looks like a tough biker.....that is until he speaks! He's so kind and gentle. His neighbors have given him codes and keys to their homes so he can put deliveries into their houses when they're gone. Women come and ask him for help with their car issues, kids come over to show off their new 4-wheelers or mini-bikes. He's loved in the neighborhood. Man-child Adam

    There are elections going on here in Brazil, and it’s honestly so exhausting. The power struggles, the attacks, and the constant accusations back and forth create such a horrible atmosphere. It’s really draining. I truly look forward to the end of this terrible system and to the day when the Kingdom I’ve been waiting for finally comes.

    Wednesday, September 30 If a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work.—1 Tim. 3:1. If you have been serving for a time as a ministerial servant, you may be well on your way to qualifying to serve as an elder. Can you reach out for that “fine work”? What does the work of an elder involve? He takes the lead in preaching, works hard in shepherding and teaching, and builds up the congregation by word and example. For good reason, the Bible calls hardworking elders “gifts in men.” (Eph. 4:8) How can you qualify to serve as an elder? Qualifying as an elder is not the same as qualifying for a secular job. Often in the secular world, if you have the basic work skills that an employer is looking for, you can get the job. By contrast, if you wish to be appointed as an elder, you need more than preaching and teaching skills. You need to meet the Scriptural qualifications for elders listed at 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9. w24.11 20 ¶1-3

    The biggest challenge I see they have is deciphering ambiguous user statements, not providing enough details or too lazy to troubleshoot. I found if you can reproduce the problem and provide step by step on how and include links to their help page that mentions the functionality you get better positive responses.

    A brother and I were talking the other day and he shared an experience about visiting a large-ish Midwest US city and how disappointed he was there wasn't much to do while visiting. That prompted me to come here and ask all of you this question What do you find to do when you go away to another town for a few days? What type of recreation do you look for? What do you look for in summer vs winter. What is there to do in this town?

    "Oh look! There's chocolate everywhere!" "Dude! They had several thousand kinds of animals on this Ark. That's not chocolate!"

    Any chocolate? I’m assuming Noah and his family took some in the ark.

    If it has been removed, it would be wise to remove any screenshots or photos related to the program from this forum as well.
  34. LeolaRootStew
    Reaching out is hard. Literally, the act of reaching takes effort. It's easier to keep our arms at our side - to ourselves, but that is not what Jehovah wants from us. We are a family and we need to show concern for each other.

      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.”

      Had a conversation with a coworker the other day, it started off talking about flat earth. I told them that flat earthers are weird but im aware that SOME of them get their reasoning from scriptures in the bible (i dont remember which ones) my friend said she respects the thinking and God but ‘the bible was written by man’ i told her if i told someone to write her a check, is that check null and void because someone else wrote the check and not myself? She said that was an understandable argument. She also had a friend that was a JW at one point (i told her that i was one after she mentioned she was a flat earther), shes not close to the friend anymore because she was too judgmental and harsh. 
       
      I also have a coworker that is an ex witness (not aggressive about it or an apostate) i’m wondering if Jehovah put me at this company for a reason. I know i have to do my best to be a good witness.

      Hi, my brothers, this is my second time here, looking forward to meeting special people who love Jehovah as I do.  I send my love to all of you from Puerto Rico, USA.  I want to comment that we must be very grateful to our God, Jehovah, because, as Jesus said, we have the privilege to hear and see what the people of the world can't.

      Having sinus surgery tomorrow! 
       
      It's the new RhinAer procedure.  They just numb things for the procedure...and hope it's not too painful even with the numbing agent.  Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.  Pray for me that it is as smooth & painless as it can be.

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends
