Tim, you are such a wonderful Brother and person! Jehovah surely is using you to reach people that others may walk right on past. Thank you!

Current situation: tears of joy… ❤️

Well, there is always next year...

Another bit of advice is to talk to someone. Eve stared at that tree for long enough that the impulse took over. Imagine what might have been if she had spoken to Adam about what she heard and her reasoning. She could have been put straight right away and avoided a lifetime of heartache.

This morning...indeed just a few moments ago...I had my mind blown by someone who doesn't serve Jehovah, someone who doesn't even know him or really anything about the Bible at all! A little backstory: For weeks now I have been talking to a vendor that I see off and on at different stores. If you looked at him and judged solely off the surface, you can easily see why a lot of people avoid him. Not only are both of his arms filled with tattoos, (full sleeves on both sides), he also has tattoos on his face and he's missing about half of his teeth. Within the first 15 minutes that I met him approximately 8 weeks ago, he shared that he had served 12 years in prison and a 7-year stint prior to that. That immediately gave us common ground and I just started talking to him about my own experiences inside those walls. Some days we don't see each other at all, but there are other days where I see him on a couple ofstops that we share in common. Some days we talk a minute or two, other days we end up speaking for 10 to 15 minutes while waiting for the receiver to finish up with other vendors. I know some people have noticed us talking, I've had comments on it now a couple of different times from various vendors and even some store employees. Last week, for whatever reason, he decided to open up to me and shared the following statement, (it's not exactly what he said, it's just my best summation of it): "My cousin told me that God is punishing me for the stuff I’ve done in my life. I don’t really believe him, but when you hear something like that at the wrong time, it gets in your head, ya know? And honestly…I just feel like everybody’s done with me lately. My brother and his wife kicked me out of their house because I complained about his wife smoking weed, my family barely talks to me, and the people I'm trying to hang out with don’t even return my messages. I mean, I don’t blame them, I guess. I’m a mess right now. But it makes me wonder if maybe my cousin is right...maybe God’s done with me too. Maybe this really IS payback for everything I've done.” I assured him at Jehovah does not punish people like that, and I even shared the account at John chapter 9 regarding the blind man where Jesus had to correct his own disciples view on the same matter. I also showed him the verse in Ecclesiastes regarding time and unforeseen occurrence befalling us all. This morning I saw him at a store and he came outside to meet me as soon as I pulled up. He thanked me for sharing that account and said that after he had gotten home to his hotel room, he had googled it out of curiosity. But here comes the part where he blew my mind...because he told me that he had been encouraged by the Bible for the first time in his life, but it wasn't by the scripture I brought out. Again, here's what he said: "Hey, I didn’t read the whole thing, but I liked that part Google highlighted for me...it said that after they threw the guy out...Jesus heard about it and went and found him.” He said that part really hit home with him because of everything that he's been through. He thanked me for sharing the account with him and said it feels really good knowing that even if everyone else has given up on him, Jesus hasn't. Now I went into that discussion trying to encourage him by showing him that his cousin's doctrine was wrong, but I completely missed the most important part of what he said: he felt completely abandoned by everyone in his life. Thankfully, what I missed, Jehovah must have picked up on...because he agreed that I could share some more scriptures with him from time to time, especially if they would make him feel like this one did. I just wanted to share that with everyone, not to make some huge theatrical point...but simply to reinforce, once again, the POWER of Jehovah's word!!

You'll notice throughout history there are always times when the kings are not pushing against each other as hard as at other times. It's a constant ebb and flow.

Yes and he had to endure circumstances due to the lack of faith others displayed. I like what was said about Abraham who lived a life of faith despite of knowing what he had faith in could not possibly occur in his lifetime and yet "Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, old and satisfied , and was gathered to his people." Gen.25:8.

Perhaps it would be good for us to take some time to reflect on the many wonderful examples we have that can help us keep our spiritual vision clear and focused. One of these is Caleb. He did not allow what he saw happening around him to change what he knew about Jehovah. He saw many of his contemporaries losing their faith, but he never allowed their attitude to make him doubt Jehovah or the certainty of His promises. We too live in a world where many people are losing their trust in God or no longer believe in His promises. To keep our faith strong, we need to continue getting to know Jehovah more deeply, reminding ourselves of the beautiful qualities He has shown us, and taking time to meditate on His precious promises. There is something especially touching about Caleb’s example that I think is worth remembering: he had to wait 45 years to receive his inheritance. Yet he did not spend those years simply waiting for a reward. He spent them faithfully serving Jehovah. And what about us? Are we continuing to strengthen our friendship with Jehovah because we truly love who He is and appreciate His beautiful qualities? Or, perhaps without realizing it, has our faith become too closely tied to WHEN we expect to see our hopes fulfilled? Will we continue to trust in Jehovah with a patient and faithful heart, even if the fulfillment of His promises takes longer than we had expected?

What happened? Why doesn’t it seem like the confrontation between the king of the north and the king of the south is happening? Or do we just have to wait and see?

Two words stand out in this text , heart and stray. The human figurative heart is treacherous and can easily lead us astray. The scenario used is a young man and a devious wicked woman . That plays to his inbuilt natural desires . It is vital to protect our heart by constantly renewing our relationship with Jehovah. The word stray shows how we can quickly get in too deep . It does not have to be sexual, it can be whatever our weakness might be . It easy to kid ourselves and believe that we can handle a situation but perhaps we can’t? Thankfully , as Jesus showed in the parable of the prodigal son , Jehovah wants us back and is delighted if we return to him.

When you walk, there may be times when you trip. But when you do, you have two choices: you can ignore the reason you tripped and risk falling again, or you can recognise what caused you to stumble and take steps to prevent it from happening again. Just as you would tie your shoelaces to avoid tripping, we need to take practical steps to protect ourselves spiritually. Today, we are surrounded by entertainment that can influence the way we think and feel. Many movies contain graphic violence and disturbing scenes, while some cartoons introduce ideas and values that may conflict with Jehovah’s standards. When we are repeatedly exposed to certain content, we may gradually become desensitised to it and begin to view things that once troubled us as normal. That is why we need to be careful about what we allow into our minds and hearts. Rather than waiting until we have stumbled spiritually, we should take precautions beforehand. Before we watch something, say something, or message someone, we should pause and ask ourselves: “Would Jehovah approve of this?” Would Jehovah approve of the words I am about to say? Would he approve of the person I am choosing to communicate with? Would he approve of the content I am about to watch? By asking ourselves these questions, we can make wiser decisions and protect our friendship with Jehovah. After all, it is far better to prevent a stumble than to deal with the consequences of a fall.

Hi, is this the Front Desk? Great, This is Mr. Latham in room 2024. I'm gonna need somebody to come up to my room. My wife is hysterical, she's very upset and she's threatning to jump out the window. Yes, this is a personal problem, but the window won't open.

Friday, October 16 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways. Do not stray onto her paths.—Prov. 7:25. Solomon’s account illustrates what can happen to any worshipper of Jehovah. He might fall into serious sin and later feel that everything occurred suddenly. Or he might say, “It just happened.” And yet, if he thinks about what actually occurred, he will likely discover that he took some unwise steps that led to his transgression. Those steps might have involved bad association, unwholesome entertainment, or frequenting questionable places—whether in person or online. Perhaps he had also stopped praying, reading the Bible, attending meetings, or sharing in the ministry. Like the young man discussed in Proverbs, he may not have committed the sin so suddenly after all. What is the lesson for us? We need to avoid not only the sin itself but also the steps that lead to sin. Solomon makes that very point after relating the account.—Matt. 5:29, 30. w24.07 16 ¶10-11

Thanks for confirming that we cannot turn it off - I will quit looking for the option to change it. Likewise, we are not happy with the change....

parting of the red sea with Moses ?

Hi, Thank you for making your music available for all of us to enjoy. I wonder if I could ask you the following. Does the organisation accept original songs from anyone for consideration. If so, what is the correct procedure for submitting them.

So there you go.....🤣

Wait! Wait! Stop the execution livestream! https://www.courtroominsider.com/2026/10/trump-calls-off-livestream-of-fort-hood-shooters-firing-squad-execution/?fbclid=Iwb21leAU9-h9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mBXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHh_BFsXpS8lmp9WA-X5TF6tuKDGBYQ4_TP0yBOkTYC97ASxhYlPqW3NqJ7PS_aem_EsNftyBFwQwlU9jhvs814g “I think streaming the execution for all to see might have been a strong deterrent... but, many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
