  1. Past hour
  2. I used to play guitar. I have a 12-string and a 6-string acoustic. However, due to sever carpal tunnel suffered several years back, my hands no longer cooperate for playing the guitar. I also used to play electric bass and alto sax back when we had a live orchestra at assemblies and conventions. I no longer have the bass. My niece had borrowed my alto sax when she was in school and lost a part off of it. I managed to fashion a workaround, but the sax hasn't been used in years, and all the pads are quite dry. Back in the 1970's I wrote several songs in the Country Music genre. I have lost track of most of them I have been making songs with the Suno AI app and have a thread on the forum with several of them. Also, there is another brother on the forum who has a thread with his original songs Feel free to check out those threads.
  3. One of the newspaper articles mentioned "Gang 18" or "Pandilla 18". Google tells me that they are: Pandilla 18 (also known as the 18th Street Gang or Barrio 18) is a massive, transnational criminal organization that originated in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Known for extreme violence, drug trafficking, and extortion, it operates in the United States, Mexico, and Central America, and was officially designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government. So, it's a cartel? Or cartel-related? I hope the families find peace in the resurrection hope.
  4. I read some of the reviews and they said it's full of violence, which is to be expected, so no, I won't be watching it.
  5. Their blood is crying out to the Heavens. To Jehovah belongs vengeance (Romans 12:19), he will exact retribution for all the martyrs (Revelation 6:10)
  6. Today
  7. Hello brothers and sisters, We are considering using the HourGlass app, is it possible to receive an invitation code ? Also, if you have any infos about the app (pros/cons) feel free to tell me 😁
  8. Aren't we glad we have the Truth and a real hope for the future. The sad thing is that many people think this life is all there is. That having money and working toward freedom with retirement is what will bring them happiness. With that in mind, I wrote this song to bring out the futility of living only for what this system has to offer:
  9. I won't be watching it because it's woke
  10. Also there is a brother from Russia Alex Neviko and he records and composes some amazing songs on YouTube
  11. I do in fact make songs, but my congregation made a band called The Pioneerz " and it was old west themed and we made songs about Pioneering
  12. The times square picture is a Webcam that me and my husband showed up in
  13. Thanks, Br. Howard, for your wonderfully moving response and for posting this poem. Means a lot! Yes, that is a quote I've appreciated too.
  14. Our brothers will no doubt give us an update on JW.ORG
  15. Good point, Emmanuel, The Nestle-Aland Greek text is a very popular interlinear today. It is on the 28th edition, whereas the Westcott & Hort is an original Greek source text.
  16. Yeah, sorry, they're in the development stage of Acts of Apostles drama. This is to be filmed at Ramapo. Eps 7 & 8 to be shown at the 2027 Conventions Currently filming ep 10.
  17. Tactful? Sorry. I am a spelling and grammar Nazi.

     

    I am the same way.  I have a fleshly sister in Texas who is also my spiritual sister.  She lives in Kilgore.

  18. Gives weight to our understanding that the destruction of Babylon the Great could bring numbers to Jehovah's organisation.
  19. Some elders in our congregation ever conducts a parts with audience participation on meeting using Zoom and camera on the stand as don`t leave the house during a long time.
  20. 109F (43C) here in Las Vegas. I'm used to it but I still hate it! Almost got heatstroke a couple weeks ago moving a shed. Winter can't get here soon enough! 🥵
  21. Its still at Fidelity and it is part of my retirement income.
  22. Brother Norbro. Nice song. I have been writing songs for the past 60 years. The syle is folk, folk rock and inde or might have another genre according to some. You can hear my music at my website eltonhendrix.com The songs were written about problems others were having and helping them, about personal encourgement, and songs about the new world. Take a listen and contact me through private/direct messaging. I am new here so I am not sure how this works. it would be nice to record with with a witness. Love your brother,William Elton Hendrix , Florida U.S.A. * Note: As per forum guidelines, person contact information has been removed. Please use the Private Messaging function of the forum
  23. Have you left it there? Did you ever take it out or move to something else at some point? If so, what prompted it?
  24. I did a direct rollover into a traditional IRA with Fidelity. It worked well for me.
  25. When a HH starts saying disparaging things on a call it's either 1. They heard it from others and just want to repeat it. Ignorance Or 2. Out to disrupt your ministry. Could be an apostate or not. That's where discernment is crucial. Use careful questions to discern which of these above the HH falls into. I discovered that if the second group they're not reasonable and won't give you a chance for a useful communication. So there's no use continuing a fruitless conversation. Our goal is reaching out for the rightfully disposed for everlasting life not everyone Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  26. So what to do with 401K money when you get laid off? I’m 53. So can’t take it to put in HYSA. Do you leave it? Convert to an IRÁ? Just getting thoughts from different people. One financial guy we are talking to about my husbands 401k (who is 61) is saying move to an account with Athene. But I know he is saying that because he gets a commission and I don’t know that I like the look of the reviews for Athene. We have 2 different ones with different circumstances so trying to get thoughts on how to handle. Neither one is that big. We lived most of our life on one income paycheck to paycheck. We’ve had a few good years and now we are back to the races of how to survive financially. At least I have some savings now! 😬 I also have a very small amount in Pepsi shares. 👎🏻 No worries that I will take what you say as gospel. It’s just nice to get different perspectives.
  27. Thank you br. Tony. Do we know which episode is currently being filmed? Have they started episode 10 yet? Maybe we will see 3 episodes on 2027 convention

    • 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 met an older sister at the regional in 2024. She was really nice. We talked the first two days together before being able to go in. I always wondered how she was doing. I found out yesterday she's friends with my bible teacher 😭🤣. Who knew at a convention that has people from three different states, i run into someone that's actually local to me. My bible teacher was gonna invite her to a game night yesterday but she was unable to go, she mentioned the sisters name and showed a picture and i nearly lost my mind (in a good way)

      I always thought that "branch representative" meant a member of the branch committee, but apparently it's not the case? So who can be a branch representative?

      Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.
       
      If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?
