At a lake with rental boats, the owner speaks over the loudspeaker “Boat number 99, please return to the dock. Your time is up!” A few minutes pass. No boat returns. The owner, louder this time: “Boat number 99, return immediately or you’ll be charged for overtime!” Still nothing. The assistant steps in and says: “Boss… we only have 75 boats. There is no number 99.” After a couple of seconds, the owner grabs the mic again and says: “Boat number 66… everything okay out there?”

Watched Gloria Gaynor receiving an award. Saw her live in a small club outside of Boston,. One of her eyelashes got stuck and she was performing with that eye closed. Finally she said, "now, you're going to see something really ugly," and pulled off the eyelash, altogether. She survived, and looked and sang just fine.

Not to hijack this topic, but I've heard from almost every married couple who is asked that marriage "isn't easy!" and it's usually accompanied by wide eyes and a sigh. What makes it so hard?

What do you call a Brother that's really loud? MIKE

So basically, 4 is the answer given by those who assume the questioner has poor grammar and 6 is the answer given by those who are used to dealing with Leprechauns and their tricky ways.

Hello Friends. Yesterday the PT Sharing Outgoing Requests was all green, everything confirmed. Similar with Incoming Requests. Now this. How do I fix this?

This whole thread has me like: I'll watch what I post going forward.

No I didn't say that. In a different thread on this topic I compared the Great Crowd to a lamp that has to be plugged in and the anointed are a solar or battery powered lamps. The anointed no longer need to be "plugged in" to the Source to shine their light, but the rest of us do. This would be a qualitative change (where their power source comes from), but you are right that it doesn't touch on their relative strength - that is also a point I made in the other thread. For the hypothetical, we were discussing what would happen if an immortal sinned. I would argue that Jehovah is just as "physically" capable of destroying a solar lamp as a plug-in lamp because immortality is about where they draw their power, not how powerful they are. However, since He granted them immortality, that is essentialy a promise that they will live forever, so due to his inability to lie He would not be morally able to destroy them even though He has the "physical" strength to do so. Just my opinion.

Brothers and friends, may all of you stay well in the midst of this suffocating atmosphere that comes with the end-of-year season. May Jehovah give peace to each one’s heart. Take care, stay strong, stay safe — and may Jehovah continue blessing and strengthening us as we draw even closer to the end of this entire system. Proverbs 22:3 & 27:12 🩵

Delayed expectations are not always advantageous.

Ahhh ... but, the explanation just given ignores the other ambiguous portion of the riddle. Had the riddle simply been a word question, the reasoning on 6 being the only correct answer could have been supported. However, the riddle is accompanied by a picture, and the picture must be considered. Depending on how you view the picture (see above) acceptable answers, as the riddle is worded, would have to include 2 or 3 because, depending on how it is viewed, since either 2 or three eggs "are left".

Wm Shakespeare is credited with invention of new words, and rightly so, but some of his lexicography contributions are the result of reassigning prefixes and suffixes, unreal!

The last discussion on whether Jehovah can or cannot destroy someone granted immortality got a bit emotionally charged. There are various opinions. The Scriptures do not state with authority. Some feel that Jehovah alone has absolutely no limits and that it's wrong to impute otherwise.

The answer is 6, as the statement says "I have 6 eggs" and the question asks "How many are left?". What the rest of the statements have no bearing of what was done with the supposedly other eggs, as you have 6 eggs at the end. Now, if the statement said "I had 6 eggs", then what is said afterward would would have a bearing on the amount thatbwould be left. The answer then be considered anything as 4 to 0. Most would answer 0 as they would be thinking each of the eggs would have a particular ending stipulated. But the more more discerning would answer 4, as you could break 2 eggs, fry those 2 eggs, then eat those 2 fried eggs. For those who are out there could have said 3, 2 or 1 as some eggs could have suffered from one and/more particular endings. If the question asked "How many did I start with?" Then the answer could be 12 to 8, depending on if each egg suffered a fate individually or multiple scenarios. Thus the riddle is not ambuigous, but it relies that you must need to have attention to detail on the words used and the order that they are used.

Gerald Ford is the only person to serve as US president and Vice president with out being elected to either office.

We have almost the same but why did you use a 2nd button for Not Home? When I press the Not Home button I get a choice to tick 1st or 2nd. When ticked 1st it becomes orange, when ticked 2nd it become grey and now is part of the phone/letter writing territory. Button 6 we use to reserve houses for "Infirm"

So, you're saying that their immortality is based on Jehovah's promise and trust in them, not on the quality of their lifeforce and incorruptible organism. If that were the case, it would mean that Jehovah only imputes immortality to them as a quantitative reward but not an actual qualitative condition, much like he imputes righteousness to them when he adopts them as sons while they are still imperfect humans. Also, immortality has nothing to do with who is stronger, but has to do with composition of the spirit body they are given, which is at the heart of what actually makes immortality possible. INCORRUPTION "Immortality therefore evidently refers to the quality of the life they enjoy, its endlessness and indestructibility, whereas incorruption apparently relates to the organism or body that God gives them, one that is inherently beyond decay, ruin, or destruction." --- it, vol.1 pg. 1198

Here is our standard setup with 6 buttons: At Home = had conversation with someone, no need to work this address again Not Home (1st) = try again another day Not Home (2nd) = Not home 2nd time: this address will now be included in the letter-writing territory Do Not Call = Specifically requested by Householder: do not call, write, or telephone No Tress, Priv Prop = 'No Trespassing' or 'Private Property' sign somewhere on property Vacant = no need to call or write (our territory has high number of vacant properties) NOTES: The selected address is marked as yellow on map After territory is worked in person and returned, the 'Letter-Writing' function is activated. All addresses marked "Not Home" or "No Tress, Priv Prop" will be included on the list. These territories are available to all the friends to work at any time - they simply select an address, mark it "Letter Sent" and send their letter, then repeat.

Wednesday, December 24 “Be strong, . . . for I am with you,” declares Jehovah of armies.—Hag. 2:4. When the Jews who left Babylon arrived in Jerusalem, it was not long before they were affected by unstable economic and political conditions as well as opposition. Some therefore found it hard to focus on rebuilding Jehovah’s temple. Thus, Jehovah commissioned two prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, to rekindle the people’s zeal, which proved to be effective. (Hag. 1:1; Zech. 1:1) Nearly 50 years later, however, the Jews again reached a low point. Ezra, a skilled copyist of the Law, then came from Babylon to Jerusalem to encourage God’s people to give priority to true worship. (Ezra 7:1, 6) Just as the prophecies of Haggai and Zechariah helped God’s people in the past to continue to trust in Jehovah during opposition, they can help us today to remain confident in Jehovah’s support despite life’s uncertainties.—Prov. 22:19. w23.1114-15 ¶2-3

NASA's Hubble Reveals Largest Found Chaotic Birthplace of Planets 23 Dec 2025 9:00am Release ID: 2025-025 Summary Vast dust and gas disk offers insight into the birth of star systems. Nearly 300 years after Immanuel Kant proposed that our solar system’s family of planets condensed from a flattened disk of gas and dust, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revealed that such planetary nurseries are common across our galaxy. Now, Hubble has identified the largest known protoplanetary disk—spanning an astonishing 400 billion miles, roughly 40 times the diameter of our solar system. This immense structure, located just 1,000 light-years from Earth, exhibits a surprisingly chaotic and turbulent environment for planet formation. Hubble’s high-resolution imagery shows wisps of material extending far above and below the disk. This discovery provides a unique opportunity to study the complex processes and conditions that govern the birth of planetary systems. Full Article: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasas-hubble-reveals-largest-found-chaotic-birthplace-of-planets/ Video link [1:48]: Pic Description: This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the largest planet-forming disk ever observed around a young star. It spans nearly 400 billion miles — 40 times the diameter of our solar system. Tilted nearly edge-on as seen from Earth, the dark, dusty disk resembles a hamburger. Hubble reveals it to be unusually chaotic, with bright wisps of material extending far above and below the disk—more than seen in any similar circumstellar disk. Cataloged as IRAS 23077+6707, the system is located approximately 1,000 light-years from Earth. The discovery marks a new milestone for Hubble and offers fresh insight into planet formation in extreme environments across

My wife and I have been married for 43 years; she was 20 and I was 22 when we were married. Have our years together been trouble-free? Definitely not! There is no such thing as a trouble-free marriage in this system. Problems and challenges do arise, especially when a couple marries young. But if both work together, forgive one another, and maintain love and affection, they can navigate those turbulent times. However, it is even more important to always keep Jehovah at the center of the marriage. After all, He instituted it. Who better to guide married couples? And yes, we are very happy. As for doing it all over again, I absolutely would, and I know my wife feels the same way. As to your own situation, as David stated, "No one can answer this question in your behalf. Rejoice in Jehovah, he will bring you opportunities."
