  1. Past hour
  2. Every Loving Decision Encourages Remarkably G O U R D
  3. This is the main part of our rear garden: There's a lot of maintenance required, and my wife does the greater part. She was still using a chainsaw at 81
  4. I think certain UFOs could easily be demonic light-tricks, as you guys say, but I think any pictures of "dead aliens" would just be fake. If it were convincing enough, it might fracture the foundation of religion on earth, not necessarily enough to destroy it outright, but enough that when the UN targets them, it will be destroyed very easily.
  5. I'm very glad I found this site while looking for a witness poetry group online that isn't of the world. I love writing poetry, honing my craft, and enjoying good poetry too, and want to spend less time on secular sites. Thanks, Angel, for indicating you liked my poem posted here recently. Does anyone else here on JW-Talk like writing various forms of poetry, including rhyming/metered poems, but also maybe like a Haibun, brevities, or even free verse? Perhaps some are even open to sharing critiques on what we write?
  6. Today
  7. Morning all, We enjoyed a sunny Bank Holiday last weekend in the UK and the spring temperatures have maintained their gentle upward trajectory. Last weekend was filled with plenty of potting on and out and more sowing. Cauliflowers and Celeriac were potted on, with the following sown: Beetroot Broccoli Brussel Sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Cucumber Lettuce Spring Onions Swedes Turnips As for the potted out, the usual battery of flowers (Calendula, Cosmos, French Marigold and Zinnias) all around the garden front and back along with my Tomatoes in the tubs. It does seem strange sowing my autumn and winter vegetables now, but the cycle of sowing doesn’t stop and preparedness is the byword of a good gardener. Another major job last weekend was weeding and it’s looking much cleaner now. The last thing you want is weeds taking root and ultimately self seeding. The garden is doing alright with the usual mix of successes and failures. I think I may have lost about three Cauliflowers but hopefully the milk cartons will protect them. I’m also struggling to germinate my direct sown carrots and beetroot, should I still get nothing by next week then I’ve got some fillers. Despite all that, the successes are pretty obvious from the photos. Hope you all are doing well!
  8. That is exactly how I have felt for years, Ephesians 6:12 says we have a wrestling against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. Satan and the demons main purpose is to stop, distract, delude, confuse people away from there creator Jehovah God. One of the video footage the US has released was a flying object moving at a incredible speed and it turns 90 degrees without even slowing down defying the laws of physics it was nothing but supernatural. What a great distraction for people.
  9. I have to say, it wont hurt my feelings. When this is discussed to any depth, i start with the tears. But, whatever. We can trust jehovahʼs organization to handle it in the best way possible. We still have to somehow suffer through John the Baptist, and his untimely end. i canʼt fathom it. We know Jesus was and is real, but, he is so much more real, now. Somehow, we shall. But with what we have been given so far, i know it will be handled in the most discreet way possible. Jehovah will not give us more then we can bear. This I know. (Now we can read the gospels, and really picture whaŕt we are reading.)
  10. Five or six years. I can see a continuation right into the new system.
  11. I can look it up, but it was in the Broadcast when the outlined the scope of the work and told us it was going to be 18 episodes. I do not have the tim to give you the link right away. If no one else comes up with the reference, I will look it up this weekend.
  12. What if they do 1 episode per Assembly and 3 for the summer convention? We could get 5 episodes a year
  13. We got one episode the first year, then two episodes, and now three episodes in a single year. We have heard that episode 8 (and maybe 9) are well underway and nearing completion. So we might expect three video sections next year as well. If that was true, we would be halfway through the series in four years. If the kept up three per year, we could possibly finish in another three years after next. Starting in 2024, the total of 7 years would take us to2030. Originally the project was to be completed by 2029. So maybe it will.
  14. This is a plausible scenario in my book . Hey, Id love a less sensational scenario. But at this point. Why not. Lol
  15. Ohh I have thoughts. They would get slammed on the forum, and I just cant handle the mental battle of explaining myself. I will say this. Im a life long witness. My parents and grandparents were witnesses. Ive delt in a very real way with demons in the past. Never been involved in the occult. At all ! And I have a different view than most of my fellow witnesses when it comes to aliens. They are real. They are demons. Its as easy as that. Many people understanding may be different than mine. Thats ok. I know my life. Lol If ever there is some sort of Alien disclosure. While everyone freaks out , I would be like. MmmmmmmHmmmmnnn😂😂😂😂😂😅
  16. Well if the government releases these files the way they did the Epstein files, it won’t amount to anything other than the internet going into a frenzy. I mean with all the Epstein stuff, no real consequences have happened and I doubt any aliens will be caught up in the coming drama. Unless they are so called illegal aliens. 😜 Hmmmm, wonder if Trump is mixing up his alien terminology? 🤔😂😂😂
  17. It’s true my brother. The sufferings are increasing and magnified each day among the friends I know. I feel like the start of the GT will be a relief because at least we’ll know for sure the time is super short until A day.
  18. The interview I heard with someone from WHO said there’s very little chance of this becoming a big issue. But time will tell I guess
  19. You know that feeling that we’re losing the strength to keep fighting because of so many bad things happening? But then comes that sense of relief in knowing that Jehovah is taking care of everything. And we pray for the Kingdom to come soon, because it’s becoming very hard to endure.
  20. Uh huh. All these religious leaders have been contacted by US Intelligence. The Daily Smell....
  21. At least in this case it's not some new novel variant people never heard of.
  22. Religious leaders told 'prepare now' for UFO disclosure to unleash Bible-changing revelations https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/religious-leaders-told-prepare-now-for-ufo-disclosure-to-unleash-bible-changing-revelations/ar-AA22sBJS Just randomly came across this topic. For those in the US, there has been a suspicious sprinkling of alien-related news for the last few months, to the point that people have been speculating it is orchestrated for some purpose. This is not meant to be taken seriously, so please keep it light, but I thought it would be interesting to think about what might happen if there really was an announcement from the US government "proving" the existence of aliens. Here is what ChatGPT had to say: "A global alien narrative could hypothetically create fear, unity, and dependence on international authority, making the UN seem necessary while portraying religion as divisive or outdated. Within a JW prophetic lens, some might see that as a possible pathway toward increased global governance and eventual attacks on organized religion." I think if the "proof" were convincing enough, it could cause a crisis of faith across the world. I wonder if it would be enough to push religion over the edge into destruction. Any thoughts?
  23. Never has a person been taken out of a mosh pit by ambulance, when I was in it.
  24. Fellow is similar to fellas or feller, what the nephilim were.

    • 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.”

      A sister in my group went to see a very close friend at the hospital, before the final moment. She was told "Thank you for teaching me the Truth, let's meet again".
      Very emotional... and beautiful !

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      A very fair rule: If you allow yourself something, then allow it to others as well. If you forbid something to others, then forbid it to yourself as well.

      Are allergies on the rise (more so than just "being the season" for them)?  🤔
       
      My grandma of 81 years was complaining yesterday about having to deal with allergies, despite it never really being a thing for her before.

      Even in my own circumstances, I find myself using my albuterol inhaler and nearly having asthma attacks, despite growing out of that many years ago.  Now it's back...  😔

      My spiritual routine is… sorely lacking order…
       
      My list of personal study projects only keeps growing, and it seems I cannot finish even one. I am absolutely terrible at study. My brain just doesn’t seem to “go off,” but at the same time, nothing ever gets accomplished 😵‍💫
       
      Like now—I found a JW-friendly app (Personal Bible Trainer). I chose to read the Bible from scratch, both the Old and New Testament, and it gives a challenge, goal, or thought to focus on with the chapters (or part of a chapter) you’re reading. I also decided to highlight my Bible while I’m at it so I know for sure I read the chapters. Then I remembered I had started writing down the characters mentioned, so I don’t forget who was in the chapter, when, where, and in what order. And then there’s the daily text and weekly meeting study… it’s just all horror!
       
      Just from this, you can probably see my mind is absolute chaos 🤯 My brain feels like a bag filled with water—but full of holes.
       
      I’ve cut back on work due to my health slowly deteriorating. Now I’m only working 2 days a week instead of 4. I stopped going out in field service and have been asking others not to invite me because I keep having to cancel last minute due to my mystery illness/condition.
       
      Now I really need ideas that might help plug these holes—so I can actually retain information and build a study routine that works for me. I can’t even remember how I was able to handle so many subjects back in my school days 😮‍💨
       
      I know most brothers and sisters have families, strong spiritual routines, and goals that help them stay focused on spreading the good news of the Kingdom. Being in the truth by myself, I’m doing everything solo. And over the years—with moving to an actual home, changing congregations, and now my health failing at this age… anything I once had in mind spiritually (like learning a new language, LDC, or working on projects like Ramapo) is gone, and my zeal has almost fizzled out.
       
      I had some shepherding calls after isolating myself for so long and not attending meetings for a few months. The elders reminded me that there are people who care about me, even when life gets in the way—and that isolation won’t help. And they’re right… it doesn’t.
       
      The only thing that kept me going—then and even now—are Jesus’ words and Peter’s response after many stopped following him:
       
      “So Jesus said to the Twelve: ‘You do not want to go also, do you?’ Simon Peter answered him: ‘Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’” — John 6:67–69
       
      Right now, I’m just trying to focus on getting my mind back into studying properly and maybe having a good comment at the meetings again.
       
      Any advice you may have that could help—I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, please just keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼
