  1. Past hour
  2. We have our Circuit Assembly this weekend (with the Branch Rep), so I'll be rather scarce around here. I'm waiting to find out who the Rep is going to be.

     

    Well, actually it's Sunday. But I'm going to cheat and watch the streamed version on Saturday. (Don't tell anyone.)

  3. To me i think the friendship 1 sided. Seems more like trump drooling over Putin.
  4. Actually, Antesaka is the name of the people in southeastern Madagascar, and also the name of the dialect spoken by them. Malagasy is the main language of Madagascar, and Antesaka is one of many dialects of the language.
  5. Today
  6. A movie is a 2-3 hour long film. Whereas a video series is usually comprised of ~1 hour + a few minutes episodes. This video series has 18 episodes, so it's the equivalent of several movies! ❤️
  7. Saturday, October 17 We have this treasure in earthen vessels.—2 Cor. 4:7. What is this treasure? It is the lifesaving work of preaching the Kingdom message. (2 Cor. 4:1) What are the earthen vessels? They represent God’s servants, who take the good news to others. In Paul’s day, merchants used clay jars to transport valuable goods, such as food, wine, and money. Similarly, Jehovah entrusts us with the valuable message of the good news. With Jehovah’s backing, we can have the strength needed to deliver our message faithfully. At times, we may experience fear of man or fear of rejection. How can we overcome that challenge? Consider the prayer of the apostles when they were ordered not to preach. Rather than give in to fear, they asked Jehovah to help them keep speaking with boldness. Jehovah immediately answered their prayer. (Acts 4:18, 29, 31) If fear of man affects you sometimes, ask Jehovah to help you conquer your fear of man with your love for people. w24.04 16 ¶8-9
  8. Dear brother, Thank you for such a quick response to my request. The feature works perfectly—it is exactly what was needed. I wish you abundant blessings from our heavenly Father!
  9. That reminds me of the woman that named her son LaMonjello.. Every time she would call for him in the grocery store, someone would kindly tell her the flavored Jell-O is on aisle 5...
  10. Louise deeply regretted naming her son Marco. Whenever she tried to find him in a crowd, people would yell “Polo!” in response, and it would take hours for them to reunite. Her husband insisted on naming their next son. He chose Waldo.
  11. Recently someone told me not to refer to our Jesus videos as movies when letter writing..I kind of like saying they are movies because people in the territory watch movies!
  12. Historically Trump and Putin are fickle when it comes to dealing with each other. In May of 2025 Trump was critical of Putin. He might be critical again next week.
  13. The king of the north is "Russia and its allies". Iran is one of those allies. I would say the confrontation is still happening.
  14. @faikulya, I have added font size controls/buttons in v6.3.0 (should be pushed out shortly). Please test and report, if possible.
  15. Also we dont see what goes on behind closed doors. Trump and Putin may act like friends...but keyword is "Act". The U.S. has supplied many weapons to Ukraine in which they are using against Russia.
  16. Um... hi. 🙈😳 (slowly shuffles feet and looks down at the floor, cheeks burning bright red) You might... well, since I write books too, you could maybe add me to that list? (hides behind a virtual houseplant 🌿👀)
  17. I clicked on that link and got the following message: Dangerous site Attackers on the site you tried visiting might trick you into installing software or revealing things like your passwords, phone, or credit card numbers. Chrome strongly recommends going back to safety.
  18. Tim, you are such a wonderful Brother and person! Jehovah surely is using you to reach people that others may walk right on past. Thank you!
  19. Hey brother greetings

      Hello there! :) 

  20. Gemini said he is a good man..😉 gemini_generated_video_df124836.mp4
  21. Another bit of advice is to talk to someone. Eve stared at that tree for long enough that the impulse took over. Imagine what might have been if she had spoken to Adam about what she heard and her reasoning. She could have been put straight right away and avoided a lifetime of heartache.
  22. This morning...indeed just a few moments ago...I had my mind blown by someone who doesn't serve Jehovah, someone who doesn't even know him or really anything about the Bible at all! A little backstory: For weeks now I have been talking to a vendor that I see off and on at different stores. If you looked at him and judged solely off the surface, you can easily see why a lot of people avoid him. Not only are both of his arms filled with tattoos, (full sleeves on both sides), he also has tattoos on his face and he's missing about half of his teeth. Within the first 15 minutes that I met him approximately 8 weeks ago, he shared that he had served 12 years in prison and a 7-year stint prior to that. That immediately gave us common ground and I just started talking to him about my own experiences inside those walls. Some days we don't see each other at all, but there are other days where I see him on a couple ofstops that we share in common. Some days we talk a minute or two, other days we end up speaking for 10 to 15 minutes while waiting for the receiver to finish up with other vendors. I know some people have noticed us talking, I've had comments on it now a couple of different times from various vendors and even some store employees. Last week, for whatever reason, he decided to open up to me and shared the following statement, (it's not exactly what he said, it's just my best summation of it): "My cousin told me that God is punishing me for the stuff I’ve done in my life. I don’t really believe him, but when you hear something like that at the wrong time, it gets in your head, ya know? And honestly…I just feel like everybody’s done with me lately. My brother and his wife kicked me out of their house because I complained about his wife smoking weed, my family barely talks to me, and the people I'm trying to hang out with don’t even return my messages. I mean, I don’t blame them, I guess. I’m a mess right now. But it makes me wonder if maybe my cousin is right...maybe God’s done with me too. Maybe this really IS payback for everything I've done.” I assured him at Jehovah does not punish people like that, and I even shared the account at John chapter 9 regarding the blind man where Jesus had to correct his own disciples view on the same matter. I also showed him the verse in Ecclesiastes regarding time and unforeseen occurrence befalling us all. This morning I saw him at a store and he came outside to meet me as soon as I pulled up. He thanked me for sharing that account and said that after he had gotten home to his hotel room, he had googled it out of curiosity. But here comes the part where he blew my mind...because he told me that he had been encouraged by the Bible for the first time in his life, but it wasn't by the scripture I brought out. Again, here's what he said: "Hey, I didn’t read the whole thing, but I liked that part Google highlighted for me...it said that after they threw the guy out...Jesus heard about it and went and found him.” He said that part really hit home with him because of everything that he's been through. He thanked me for sharing the account with him and said it feels really good knowing that even if everyone else has given up on him, Jesus hasn't. Now I went into that discussion trying to encourage him by showing him that his cousin's doctrine was wrong, but I completely missed the most important part of what he said: he felt completely abandoned by everyone in his life. Thankfully, what I missed, Jehovah must have picked up on...because he agreed that I could share some more scriptures with him from time to time, especially if they would make him feel like this one did. I just wanted to share that with everyone, not to make some huge theatrical point...but simply to reinforce, once again, the POWER of Jehovah's word!!
  23. You'll notice throughout history there are always times when the kings are not pushing against each other as hard as at other times. It's a constant ebb and flow.
  24. You can select on mij name and then They have to appear. In Apple Books and in Google PLay

    • 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.”

      jw.org was the most consulted religious website last month in Bahrein, a country where the majority of people are muslim and the preaching work is under ban

      Do you think the pope has already been preached to personally? Or at least been sent a letter?

      Our Kingdom Hall is hosting 3 weeks of Elders schools starting tomorrow. 
       
      We organised some of the kids to make a welcome banner. The bros who were prepping today loved it. 
       
      our sister Cong had these carts made 
       
      We also have these to put up 
       
      And every elder and instructor (hopefully) will also get a keyring at the last day of their school.

       
      Can you tell we’re all excited? Gonna be long days (we’ve got to arrive by 6:15am) but I’m sure at the end it’ll all be worth it!

      Does anyone have a list of the first 24 songs from the organization? I promise im not gonna memorize them and randomly sing them to a coworker to being her back to her childhood 😏. I think at one point the song numbers changed, she told me about how she used to have to play ‘we are Jehovah’s witnesses’  (song 63) on the piano but left the organization when there were 24 songs. 
       
      side note i got her to agree to go to the memorial next year but the exchange was id have to go to her church once. I feel that is a fair trade.

      Last Tuesday i finally got to meet the people at my new congregation, and they were pretty warm and welcoming to me. It reminded me of how great is the unity that exists in this wonderful brotherhood.

      My wife recently had major surgery and the hospital has a home care nurse check on her once a week. We have had three different nurses and my wife has given each of them a contact card. 😁
