  1. Past hour
  2. Now… think about this. Jehovah is already guiding us — kindly, patiently — through the men he has appointed. And when we follow that guidance, we’re not just “being obedient.” No… we are protecting our heart. We are keeping ourselves far away from the dangers this world throws at us. But here’s the point: if we lean on that direction now, while things are still relatively calm, then when the real pressure comes — during the great tribulation and even into the new world — we will already know how to follow Jehovah’s lead without hesitation. That’s the training. So… let’s make up our mind: “I will listen. I will follow. I will trust Jehovah’s arrangement.” Because when we do that, Jehovah — our Guide, our Father — will take us exactly where he promised: a safe place, a clean world, a life without fear… forever.
  3. Also not the one. The one thing my father is certain of is that he started with *nothing* but the daily paper. He thinks the guy might have started the wager with nothing, including the clothes on his back. That said, I love that this thread is offering free movies to people now. 🤣
  4. Yesterday
  5. Resume. Job Interview. HR Karen. Customer is always right. Call in sick. Adding extra Zero to the number in Excel. GAGE
  6. Monday, November 17 You will appoint them as princes in all the earth.—Ps. 45:16. At times, we receive counsel that safeguards us from such things as materialism and activities that can put us in danger of breaking God’s laws. Here, too, we are blessed by following the guidance Jehovah provides. (Isa. 48:17, 18; 1 Tim. 6:9, 10) No doubt Jehovah will continue to use human representatives to provide guidance during the great tribulation and on into the Thousand Year Reign. Will we keep following that direction? Much may depend on how we respond to the guidance that Jehovah is providing now. Therefore, let us always follow Jehovah’s guidance, including that which is provided by the men who are appointed to watch over us. (Isa. 32:1, 2; Heb. 13:17) And as we do, we have every reason to trust in our Guide, Jehovah, who leads us away from spiritual danger and toward our destination—everlasting life in the new world. w24.02 25 ¶17-18
  7. Quick think warm up.- Take the head from an odd number and it becomes even; then take the tail and it is a real Bible mother. Ain't that odd? Not ain't : use isn't. Okay, isn't that quisn't.
  8. Lived in Maine and NH for twenty years and lots of horses around there. Here's an old yarn: A horseman goes into a tack store looking for a horse blanket. Store clerk goes in back and comes out with one for 20 bucks. Potential customer says, that's too much, do you have anything less expensive? Store clerk goes in back and since this is the only blanket in stock, he comes back out with same blanket and says,"This one is only fifteen." Customer says that's a deal but it gets cold around here, I'll take both for 25. Qapla may have a better horse saga.Giddyup from YS.
  9. You might have thought I started this thread, but I didn't. Brother Kyle did, and it is not even written in tagalog. Many here know I try to end phone conversations first, b/c I don't want to be known as a long talker, but the other reason a math teacher should say Good bye first: If walking down the street with friends and the store says 20 percent off, the math head should already be multiplying by .8 and recognize first if it is a good buy.
  10. In an odd little town, there was an odd little stream, with odd little fish in an odd little team. A stranger approached a local fisherman, And asked him how much his odd little fish weighed. The odd little man replied: All the fish in this stream weigh exactly 1/2 of a pound plus 1/2 of a fish. How many pounds does an odd little fish weigh?

  12. Actually, I don't see a Q&A section with this outline for local needs. That may be why it fell like a lead balloon.
  13. Our CO gave similar talk at our Service Meeting several weeks back. In my mind, he was almost pleading with us to put aside any differences (Matthew 5:24) and draw close together.
  14. Educational institutions often include in their teachings the philosophies of men.
  15. Art notices something odd in the ledger’s frayed gap — not a message, not handwriting, but a thin metallic thread embedded in the paper, the kind used in experimental tracking tags for high-value racehorses… tech that wasn’t supposed to exist when the ledger was written.
  16. Context has a bearing on the meaning especially in Bible reading.
  17. We are blessed with elder pioneers. Most if not all of our elders are ministry focused. Our Thursday group sometimes has 5 elders out. My weekend group has 2 elders and 2 MS and they are out nearly every Saturday along with their wives. It does make a difference if the elders are ministry focused. Hope your move has been a good one @TheKid23❤️
  18. Art returned to the boarding house where he stayed with other trackies (race track regulars) and decided to ask the jockeys and trainers there, what they knew about Kentucky Derby Julie, the thorough bred horse Brian, and the cryptic ledger.
  19. Sentence structure is often determined by subject and context.
  20. Ours did that the last 2 years…. It went down like a lead balloon at the meeting. both years all of us said we’d like to see the Elders in the ministry more, or at least see their support…. It ended in a lecture. luckily I’ve just moved congregations so hoping for a more positive meeting this year as quite a few of the appointed men are pioneers.
  21. I think we will always have Higher Education. Needed to bring our thoughts in line with Jehovah's. 🙃 Isa. 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts."

    • 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.”

      To all:
       
      Over the past (4) years or so, I’ve enjoyed many interesting conversations on this forum. But after a lot of meditation, research, and prayer, I’ve come to the personal decision to permanently terminate my membership here, effective immediately.

      The reason(s) why are entirely personal; but it has nothing to do with anyone here, this website has had a good thing going on here for a long time now, and the mods have been cool; no knock on that at all. However, it’s time for me to move forward, on to the next chapter in life.
       
      With that said, maybe I’ll meet some of you in person someday, and we’ll have some fun together. One of my favorite hobbies, is meeting other friends from different congregations, and other parts of the world, and learning their cultures. To an extent, this website has allowed me to talk to friends whom I would otherwise have been unable to meet.
       
      In any case, I wish you all the best, and may Jehovah bless you all!
       
      Your brother,
       
      Elijah
