Plato never was married and never used the word platonic to describe a non sexual friendship. Ben Jonson's phrase "platonick Love" is a translation of the Latin phrase "amor Platonicus", usually credited to the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino. (15th century)

I'll take a few freeze dried for the tribulation. Thanks in advance. 🙃

Using the word transparent is not the same as truthful and candid. It means see-thru like saran wrap and looking at things on the other side. Words can and do change over time, but deliberate misuse is never advisable.

I research the verse first. Then I write a detailed prompt (about 100 words) describing exactly what I want. After that, I use several subscribed AI tools to generate the image, and then I post-edit—either with AI or by hand—until it’s 100% correct. There are so many sloppy, low-effort AI images out there. Honestly, it’s no surprise people end up hating AI.

Hello friends! My name is Dayja, I’m a 28 year old sister, I’ve been baptized for 6 years. I have always desired to have a mate, but I have not had success with finding one. I’ve actually never had a relationship or dated seriously. It has been somewhat discouraging, because I have felt overlooked, while some sisters are able to get attention from brothers more easily. My main concern at this time, is to focus on my spiritually and do more for Jehovah, as well as adopt qualities that would make a better wife, as well as work on my physical appearance. However, the desire for mate is still strong and sometimes I worry if I will ever find true love, but I determined to wait on Jehovah. Which brings me to my question for those who are married who have felt like me, if you were to go back, would you get married again? Did married life make you happier? Or would it be better for me to wait until the new system to get married?

So. A type ant-type thinking that we have since abandoned. In other words, while there are other similar instances of a 40 day cycle, the scriptures do not say there is any significance in Jesus spending 40 days in the wilderness. Thanks!

*** w61 8/1 p. 474 How to Read the Bible *** Then there is the reading aid of asking questions, such as, ‘Why is this so?’ and, ‘Why did this happen?’ Such questions stir up thinking. Thus one may be reading Matthew 4:1, 2: “Then Jesus was led by the spirit up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he felt hungry.” One might ask himself, “Why were forty days and forty nights necessary?” One might reason that Jesus used that time well, by meditating on God’s Word. But still why that length of time? As you reflect on the matter, by association your mind may think on other similar periods, how both Moses and Elijah experienced them. (Ex. 24:18; 34:28; Deut. 9:25; 1 Ki. 19:8) Further thinking brings to mind the transfiguration scene, wherein Jesus was transfigured with Moses and Elijah, and such thinking has given you insight into the matter: That Jesus went into the wilderness for that specific length of time to conform to these types and that the transfiguration scene required this conformity. So by asking questions to yourself and then reflecting on the matter, your understanding may be greatly enhanced. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1961568&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=15

So the grant of “indestructible life” (Heb 7:16) or “indissoluble life” to those Christians who gain the privilege of reigning with God’s Son in the heavenly Kingdom marvelously demonstrates God’s confidence in them. (From Insight) I assume that this principle applies in this situation. “Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him, and the one who was put in charge of much will have more than usual demanded of him.”—Luke 12:48

I Chose the man with the problems: from 12/21 WT Jim sits on the bench with his hands clasped, eyes lowered, not because he has run out of answers — but because he has reached the point where answers aren’t enough. The water behind him is still, the trees, unmoving. Yet his thoughts are anything but quiet. Earlier, he carried a small tray into the bedroom, careful not to wake his wife, Beatrice, as he set it down. He lingered there longer than necessary, watching her breathe, wishing he could do more than just be steady. At the table later, papers spread out in front of him, he studied the numbers again. Jim wasn’t looking for relief — just enough clarity to make wise decisions and not be ruled by anxiety. And then there was his daughter, Samantha. Sitting close beside him, following the words in her book, trusting his voice. He felt the weight of that trust — not pressure, but responsibility. So now he prays. Not to escape these things, but to meet them well. To care for Beatrice. with tenderness, to handle the finances with discernment, and to guide Samantha toward loving Jehovah from her own heart. Nothing changes in the scene behind him — but inside, he is anchored.

One of the problems of keeping a mortgage, is the varying rates being charged. In these days of uncertainty, I would choose to repay if could.

No, it was voluntary. I not aware of any prophetic significance to this account, either. Sure, he was likely hungry much sooner than 40 days, but that wasn't the point of the account. We should. Not take that scripture to mean he was not hungry at day 35, 37, or whatever. Besides, many of us have likely been preoccupied with something and missed a meal without realizing it. The principle might be the same here. Jesus had a lot on his mind that could distract him from his hunger.

My thought with that question was more along the lines of health since second-hand smoke is not healthy, hence the public bans. Not so long ago? Depends on your point of view 😂

Jesus and the 144,000 that are already resurrected already have immortality. The earthly class will never have immortality at all. They can have everlasting life that depends on Jehovah's will and also on the provision of the physical needs we have to keep us alive. Anyone who has immortality has no physical needs. The angels in heaven can live forever but are not immortal because their life still depends on Jehovah.

Well, it has some connections with trust too of course. From Insight: w84 4/1: It is unclear to me why granting them immortality "marvelously demonstrates God's confidence in them" or why in that case "we can trust that they will forever be faithful" if they can still be destroyed at will. I'm not saying this is not true, it just seems to me that we are missing something here.

● At Matthew 4:1 it is said that “Jesus was led by the spirit up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.” Does this refer to God’s holy spirit? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1981490#h=10:2-13:730 I don't think Jehovah would have allowed Jesus to literally starve while in fellowship with the Father. This wasn't a forced fast. Moreover, the Bible says that at the end of 40 days, Jesus felt hungry. But didn't he feel hungry before that? “After he had fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, he felt hungry.”—Matthew 4:2 Jesus is the reflection of His father and He, as the Son, acted like His Father. Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:35-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-13

If you had shown an image of a carton of a dozen eggs the answer would have been obvious!

4, but @Witness1970 makes a good point. It's hard to tell if there is a language barrier sometimes.

The words broke 2 are ambiguous. I break eggs before I fry them and eat them. it would be tha same 2 eggs. But the words "I HAVE six eggs" indicates that you have 6 eggs after you 'broke 2, fried 2 and ate 2' so, the answer is 6 are left.
