  1. Past hour
  2. Jehovah's generosity is loving provision. We imitate him, and are generous because of love, too.
  3. All this stuff about following instructions as the GT is getting close... it really feels closer than ever
  4. I need to go on the website as soon as I can, to devour.
  5. Just queried the phrase without quotation marks, indescribable free gift and I am he. on my iPad Air 5th generation. The pics show what came up
  6. Today
  7. Speaking of the new song—I have converted it to mp3 format for you and posted it in my Music Collection. It is indeed timely, and is called Let’s Stick Together. It's in an archive along with the official image and the lyrics. If you don't have the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.
  8. Actually this is the same exact advice I received from an attorney over there. Problem is, I was told that they are putting pressure on her to have the property sold and to have her portion of the money sent to her. I am in the middle of refinancing the house, it was a very hard process to begin with, and it was made immeasurably harder after she had to return to England. So there's a lot going on with the house to begin with, and it just adds stress to her shoulders that she shouldn't have to deal with. So thank you for that advice, and thank you to everyone who has responded to my post!
  9. Tuesday, July 7 Become imitators of God.—Eph. 5:1. What are some ways that Jehovah shows generosity? Consider a few examples. Jehovah gives us material things. We may not always have luxuries, but thanks to Jehovah, most of us have what we need. For example, he makes it possible for us to have food, clothing, and shelter. (Ps. 4:8; Matt. 6:31-33; 1 Tim. 6:6-8) Does Jehovah provide for our physical needs merely out of a sense of obligation? Not at all! Consider Jesus’ words found at Matthew 6:25, 26. Speaking of birds, Jesus says: “They do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses.” However, notice what he next says: “Your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then Jesus asks: “Are you not worth more than they are?” The point? If Jehovah cares for the needs of animals, we can be sure that he will provide for us! Like a caring human father, Jehovah provides for his family out of love.—Ps. 145:16; Matt. 6:32. w24.0926-27 ¶4-6
  10. I've seen that form for Universal Credit brother and helped someone to complete it. She will have said she owns property elsewhere. They ask what value it is. She should say zero because it is worth nothing ie unsellable with you living in it, and you are unwilling and cannot afford to buy her share. So it has no accessible value. It is not actually hers to sell. Hope this helps.
  11. What a Broadcasting! Is it just me or are they trying to push something that’s about to come crashing down on our heads? It’s nothing new, but it’s getting more and more urgent. Or maybe it’s just me spinning a web of hope. Beautiful song, indeed!
  12. Am I reading too much between the lines or are we guys arguing (peacefully) without reason. person A said: I think there are no more Bible students person B said: no, I think they still exist. I checked online and a YouTube video popped up person C said: no, you can’t study other religions, it’s wrong person D said: but you should get to Know them, this is what FDS says person E said: no, FDS meant something different Don’t we all agree that: - Russell era Bible students still exist - it’s okay to learn a thing or two about another religion - it’s not okay to study too Much about other religions - we all love Jehovah and other brothers and sisters Love to you all 🥰
  13. Back to the topic: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/07/self-immolation-of-tibetan-man-outside-un-highlights-long-standing-chinese-repression/?hl=en-US#:~:text=According to media reports and,York on 2 July 2026. I can see this idea as a tool to remove religions when they finally turn on BtG. "Ethnic Unity" Why right now the US is showing how a great many feel about those who are not currently citizens - this includes groups already given asylum. Many of these groups are also being "removed".
  14. Oh. Lovely. Let me update and give it a shot [emoji382] Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  15. Reading your comment about being dust made me recall a verse in Isaiah that says: do not despise the day of small beginnings. Everything starts small. A child starts as fertilized eggs. The earth started with Jehovah's spirit roving back and forth. Every business starts with an idea. A spark in the brain. So do not despise the day of small beginnings. Rather cultivate the mindset of being open to make it grow and willingness to ask and receive help and guidance. A little conversation with a fellow elder helped me in my recent health crisis. If I had not followed through I would have considered myself chronically ill. A little verse, a comment at the meeting, a smile could be the lever that would lift up that dust and give it life. Be open to that possibility because Jehovah works with style. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  16. This original song is beautiful and comes right on time ❤️
  17. It was an excellent publication, Jerry, and we used it well. Some of the youngsters at school had some interesting experiences, both with teachers and those of other faiths. Many of these publications served as special points in our theocratic development.
  18. The thing is that I do know the history of the Russellites, so I do not need to study about them. That was not the context of the comment. The comment was about searching YouTube to get information about their meetings. I pass many churches in my travels. Most of them have signs for drivers to see with their meeting times posted. As I go by, I am aware the building is a church. Due to the size of the font, I can easily identify what religion that particular church is. However, I could not tell you when any of them hold meetings even though the times are clearly posted - so, when I get home, I certainly would not look up the churches I drove by to see when their meetings are. Likewise, I am not going to search YouTube to see when Baptists, Catholics, Mormons, Russellite or Bible Students meet - there is no need to since I am not going to attend their services. There is a huge difference in knowing the history of some religions, knowing their beliefs, researching their beliefs and researching when they hold meetings in my area.

  20. Webb uncovers unusual galaxy shaped by cosmic collision 6 July 2026 10am weic2615 — Photo Release ID: 2026-120 In new images from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer, and far more complex, than ever seen before. Webb’s unprecedented sensitivity across near- and mid-infrared wavelengths cuts through the thick lanes of dust that obscure Centaurus A’s centre in visible light, showing a densely packed tapestry of individual stars and an active, everchanging galaxy. These images mark four years of better-than-anticipated performance and successful science operations for the most powerful space telescope in history. Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128) is 11 million light-years away from Earth, relatively close in cosmic terms. Yet, unlike most nearby galaxies, it is very active, making it a powerful laboratory for understanding how galaxies and black holes grow and evolve together. At its core sits a supermassive black hole actively feeding on surrounding material. As it does, the black hole launches powerful jets and releases enormous amounts of energy, shaping the galaxy around it. At the same time, Centaurus A bears the scars of a dramatic past: a major collision with another galaxy roughly two billion years ago. The aftermath of that merger is still visible today in its unusual structure and ongoing star formation. Visible light observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope could not reveal the central region where dust blocked the view, while NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope revealed large scale structures in the infrared without resolving individual stars. Now, Webb brings both clarity and depth, exposing the galaxy’s inner workings star by star. Article Link: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasa-webb-uncovers-unusual-galaxy-shaped-by-cosmic-collision/ Pic Description [Top]: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveals the nearby galaxy Centaurus A, exposing the dusty structures and hidden activity that shape this unusual system. Webb’s infrared vision unveils intricate filaments, loops, and glowing clouds of warm dust stretching across its center. At the heart of the galaxy, an actively feeding supermassive black hole shines brightly, surrounded by complex structures sculpted by a past galactic collision and ongoing activity. Pic Description [Middle]: What may first appear as a grainy glow is actually a dense field of millions of individually resolved stars. By distinguishing different generations of stars embedded throughout the dusty center, Webb gives astronomers new clues to the galaxy’s history and the processes that continue to shape it. Pic Description [Bottom]: A ground-based image of nearby galaxy Centaurus A from the European Southern Observatory (top left) puts the near-infrared and mid-infrared views from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope image into context.

    • 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)
