    Our Hall was upgraded with AC last year. Meanwhile, Twickenham Convention starts tomorrow and we have received advice re. the hot weather: “We care deeply about those most at risk in hot weather and many have expressed appreciation for the option to enjoy the live convention programme using JW Stream. Congregation elders have the details to access this provision. We’re sure you will carefully weigh Bible principles when deciding what is best for you personally.” Along with sensible advice for those that do decide to attend.

    Many prayers my brother.

    Friday, August 14 Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire.—Jas. 1:14. Do you know in which areas you are most easily tempted? It does us no good to fool ourselves by denying our weaknesses or concluding that we are too strong to fall into wrongdoing. (1 John 1:8) After all, Paul indicates that even those “who have spiritual qualifications” might give in to temptation if they do not keep on guard. (Gal. 6:1) We must be honest with ourselves and acknowledge the areas in which we are not strong. (2 Cor. 13:5) Once we have identified those areas in which we are most susceptible to temptation, what should we do? Strengthen our resistance! To illustrate, in Bible times the most vulnerable part of a city wall was its gates. Therefore, the gates were the most heavily guarded. Similarly, we need to give special attention to any areas in which we know that we are especially weak.—1 Cor. 9:27. w24.07 15 ¶5-7

    I miss Musky. I really enjoyed his sense of humor, or humour if you live outside of the US...

    If you keep feeding them prunes you will end up with more than that...

    Boiling in the UK, 38 degrees! We have our assembly tomorrow and it's going to be 31, I will be on zoom 🔥🔥🫠

    I've had squirrels and gray diggers as friends for years, they love nuts and seeds as we all know. Today in cart work all I had was prunes (now, now no snickering😃) in my bag. One of the gray diggers came over and stood on my shoe then took off. I thought maybe she would like a prune. I tossed one out and yep! She loved it! So cute to watch her scuttle off with it in her mouth. Then she stopped and buried it. I guess this is conclusive proof as to why one year as I fed oiled sunflower seeds I ended up with about 75 sunflowers all over my yard and garden 💓

    There are some humorous points on this topic, but we should try to be careful to keep humour away from making jokes about royalty and politics. We do not seek to make worldly jokes that could suggest we degrade those in authority; as we need them to allow us to continue with our assigned work (1Tim 21,2).

    Also saying something flattery was very different ... Song of Solomon 7.2 Your navel is a round bowl. May it never lack mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, Encircled by lilies. Stating someones belly looks like a heap of wheat doesnt amount to much these days ....

    Daniel, which news item did you get? I got the one about the Catholic priest convicted of sex abuse. Again...🙄
  24. secondofseven
    Yes we are really sure 😉 Must admit the no-tie-required-policy helped a bit ... but having 35°C for weeks on our black bitumen roof ... Alternative: lets completely redesign and rebuild our KH's with passive warming and cooling like southern countries .. In the meantime ... we are sure 😁

    We have no AC our KH is in the countryside and if it’s hot all doors and windows are open
  27. On the huh
    Open windows and doors as soon as the attendants brothers arrive. The main entrance is unlocked and open until the meeting starts. There is a brother on security at the entrance. Then the main door is locked, and gates closed. Our new hall will have AC, but no windows and only the fire exit door in the auditorium. The AC also handles the heating in the winter.

    A lady was walking down the sidewalk when she met a little girl with a box of newborn kittens. So she asked the girl all about her kittens, even asking what religion they were. The little girl said they were Catholic; the lady thought that was adorable. The next week, the lady was walking with her friend and boasted about the girl's kittens being Catholic. When they came to the little girl with her kittens, the lady's friend asked what religion they were. This time, the girl said they were Jehovah's Witnesses. The two women gasped: "Why?" and "How?" The little girl replied: "Well, their eyes have opened now".

    Hm, that is interesting, I thought that these instructions apply worldwide, but probably not. We have to close and lock all doors and windows 25 minutes before the meeting at latest (usually it happens even earlier than that). They also stay closed and locked during and after the meeting. Brother that is responsible for that unlocks and allows others to enter/exit kingdom hall. Not only that, locked are even doors in the fence at the entrance to KH premises (but these are locked only during the meeting and there is no impact to parking because we park outside KH premises). These are specific instructions we received from the branch and it is like this for some time already (it started few months after shooting attack in Germany). Good AC is therefore really required here.
  32. Mike047
    Interesting point you make, Igor, I don't believe that this is something our brothers would normally do until the time of the meeting start. We have brothers at the entrance to open for those arriving after the start of the meeting. We don't have opening windows in our hall.

    The earth is using what it can to rebel against mans determination to ruin it. Jelly fish population soars, plugging sea water intakes of nuclear plants. But it all has a dual edge, plastics in the water and warmer water cause swarms of jelly fish. And warm water cant be used to 'cool' the reactors because the released water would be super hot causing catastrophic damage to sea life. Reactors have been shutting down in many places making it unbearable in 104f weather! Just where does all this stop? How much longer Jehovah?

    All windows and doors should be closed and locked 25 mins before the meeting start, so probably you mean that you open everything much before the meeting start?

    We don't have AC in our kingdom hall. I hope we will look for AC given more and more heatwaves are coming. In the meantime we use the fans.

      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.”
