  1. Past hour
  2. SO MUCH... I'm ready for Armageddon in my mind, but I'm not ready for the emotion of that update... I can barely write this message
  3. Oh yes, just started chapter one and I am intrigued. Thanks Matt!👏
  4. Today
  5. I heard the idea about 50 years ago about Jehovah would not create intelligent life on another planet until the question was answered that was brought up in the Garden of Edan. And if there were intelligent faithful servants on some other planet then Jehovah would not have to prove anything. I sort of expanded that belief to say that there was no life on any other planet. But actually, the way it was explained to me was that it actually only applied to intelligent creatures that could decide whether or not they wanted to stay faithful to Jehovah. With that viewpoint bacteria could actually exist on other planets, but not life that had free will. Sometimes I am a little slow to learn.
  6. You put it very well, Julie, and you know more about being a cheerful giver than many of us. Having Jehovah help us through dark days makes them easier to get through and as Sundays Watchtower reminded everyone, we all have good days and bad days. I find that this chat site, and sharing with others, is a reminder that Jehovah carries us all and, by means of Jesus' ransom sacrifice, gives us a blazing hope. Keep doing what you can, and may Jehovah bless you for it.
  7. Thanks Fabio for taking the time to test it! I’m glad to hear that, from your checks, you didn’t detect any data collection. Since you seem quite technically knowledgeable, if you noticed anything else interesting about the app, please let us know. Thanks again for your help.
  8. El Niño is at +1.73C as of Saturday, getting close to a Very Strong or Super El Niño Strength (+2.0C).
  9. I don't understand the logic. If they were tempted, wouldn't that have settled the universal issue? Wouldn't it had already proven Jehovah is right? The second Satan defied Jehovah, wouldn't Jehovah have rightly destroyed him?
  10. If he already created intelligent physical life and called it 'good' wouldn't that be his best? Why would he created a different intelligent physical life and call it 'good' also?
  11. Would Jehovah call this good? https://aliens.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_(Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind)?file=Cropped_image_of_gray_aliens.png
  12. Once Jehovah created the earth and mankind and said it was "good", doesn't that mean his creation was perfect? Doesn't it mean that the earth and everything on it was his best creation? Would life on other planets also be called 'good'? Are there variations of "good"? I like to think that the physical life he created on the earth is unique and there isn't any other life. His creation was 'good' not just 'good enough'.
  13. Gas in my town has been dropping for weeks. I fill up when I reach half a tank of gas and it cost 10$ less than last time.
  14. I think we all agree that they would only announce the start of the GT if they were sure - whether in an update to Witnesses or a public announcement. That's why I think they might release a quick article after the UN gets power that details what the GT looks like from start to finish. They wouldn't say in the article that the GT had begun because we would still be waiting for the destruction of false religion. Thus, there would be no need for a retraction because they wouldn't have made the claim that it had begun. No claim = no retraction. Later on, when BtG is destroyed they can make one final announcement: THE GREAT TRIBULATION HAS BEGUN and refer people to the previous article. I hope they announce it to Witnesses first - it feels appropriate. I'm going to cry at that update. 😭
  15. I still believe in other life out there. Again, the bible only applies to humans. If there is a planet out there inhabited by intelligent life (let's just say they're called "Galaxians"). Maybe the Galaxians were loyal in their temptation, so they don't need a ransom and a bible like ours. Once you drag humans into the argument, it becomes invalid because, of course the bible is for humans. But as for other life, there is no definitive yes or no.
  16. This is an issue I have seen several people have. I would recommend you search the Microsoft Store for the "Support" link and contact the developers directly. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3b4?hl=en-US&gl=US
  17. Thanks Erik Yes I think that would work, but I am reluctant to do it because I will loose all my marked publications like WT study going back years. I think I will just leave it there and ignore the KJV for now (with its more than 20,000 errors! - Benjamin Wilson diaglott - History of English Versions page 5) Perhaps the programmers might look at it and fix it. I am using the latest JW Lib. Would be OK if the latest version of JW Lib could completely delete the KJV for the catalog allow a fresh install of KJV. Thanks again KB
  18. I just filled up and it was $5.75. it was actually lower. I'm surprised and wonder.... How long will that last.
  19. @Nede89, have a look at this: jwlIntegrator.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Well, I figure that's probably long enough for it to filter through to all of Amazon's Distribution, and webcrawlers. So the new book is now available on the blog, too. Thanks to you all, the new book has made it into the Top 20 of it's category on the Amazon Store. Foreward and Prologue Chapter One: Living Arrangements Chapter Two: Breaking News Chapter Three: "It's Called Reputation." Chapter Four: Two Meetings Chapter Five: "It's Too Late." Chapter Six: "War Comes Next." Chapter Seven: What Are The Odds? Chapter Eight: Downsides to Waiting Chapter Nine: Least Likely To Be Saved Chapter Ten: Undeserved Kindness Chapter Eleven: A Victory Song Chapter Twelve: After The Fall Chapter Thirteen: Welcome To Paradise Chapter Fourteen: A Life You Can Live With. Epilogue
  22. This is very true. I recall from my background in Christendom that thr great tribulation happens after all the faithful have been raptured. However our Study of the Bible and the publications of the Slave helps us understand that the great tribulation will begin and will be well under way before the anointed remnant are taken to heaven.
  23. Monday, June 22 Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry.—Isa. 65:13. Isaiah’s prophecy draws a vivid contrast between what life is like for those inside the spiritual paradise and what life is like for those outside. Jehovah abundantly satisfies the spiritual needs of his worshippers. We have his holy spirit, his written Word, and ample spiritual food so that we can “eat, . . . drink, . . . [and] rejoice.” (Compare Revelation 22:17.) In sharp contrast, those who are outside the spiritual paradise “go hungry . . . , go thirsty . . . , [and] suffer shame.” Their spiritual needs are not being satisfied. (Amos 8:11) Jehovah generously supplies His people with what they need, including spiritual food. (Joel 2:21-24) He does so through the Bible and our Bible-based publications, our website, as well as our meetings, assemblies, and conventions. We can partake of spiritual provisions every day, and as a result, we feel healthier and more refreshed. w24.04 21 ¶5-6

    • 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)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
