  1. Past hour
  2. Jehovah already did that. Space aliens invaded Earth and tried to steal the women... Genesis 6:2. 😁
  3. Today
  4. I wonder if there was intelligent life that is living some 10,000 or more light years from earth would have an interest coming to earth when there no intelligent life here?
  5. There are also local building requirements. In some communities a "standard" or "local decor" must be met to secure a building permit from the local authorities. That can mean keeping it simple or making it more luxurious. One of the KH's a little north of me in located in a very affluent area. The residents in that area are all "well to do", including the JW's that live there. Since there are enough JW's in the greater area to have two congregations, there is a KH. The greater area includes some neighborhoods that are outside of the well to do area so not all in both congregations are well to do. The land that was available was in the more affluent area of the community, so the city set a certain standard for the building. If they wanted to have a local KH, it had to be built to the community standards. It has been there for over 30 years. Our congregation is rural, so the building itself does not have to be "fancy". However, with our recent remodel we were required by the county to have the paved parking lot and retention pond along with a prescribed amount of landscaping.
  6. People have asked if one news report or another is a distraction or not. Folks, this is a distraction.
  7. Hi dear brothers, since the last update I noticed that the tasks that I previously received when they asked me for a territory, now they do not appear to me, if the program is closed, if it is open it seems to me that they remain, this is because today I had opened it and it remained as a task, otherwise I only see the emails, does the same thing happen to you too?

  9. I have a problem with NWS DESKTOP. I installed NWS Desktop on Windows 11 running on UTM (a virtual machine) on my Mac. Now I’ve installed it on another virtual machine using VMware Fusion Pro. After synchronizing everything, it takes me back to the initial login screen. Do I need to configure anything specific on Fusion Pro? I downloaded the latest version of Fusion Pro. [NOTE: I had an AI translate the text this time but please post in English in the future. Thanks!]
  10. not all branch offices have the same ressources
  11. maybe in reply to Ishaya comment, for many years the building and design of a hall was done to the abilties and money of the local congregation. Hence some variations in style of each hall. When it was down to local congregations it was up to local brothers to build hall (pre quickbuild) - one hall took three years to build. One in Kenya designed by my father who was an architect took 90 days
  12. Perhaps I may have missed it before , but thats the first time I have seen the society give a link to a news organisation about a report
  13. We recently had an elegant KH in my hometown,with tiled floor, PVC ceiling and imported seats with the JW logo emblazoned on them. i love the gift of that new KH to my hometown. I just wish everyone else can have that.
  14. I thought It's our organization that constructs and maintain the KH?
  15. My mind doesn't quite work as it should, apologies, but does this mean that there can be accidental deaths at Armageddon or will only those serving Jehovah be protected?
  16. not all JW communities have the same ressources
  17. I have noticed that the appearance of kingdom Hall varies significantly from place to place, Kingdom Halls are more impressive and elegantly looking in some places with exquisite internal decorations and furnishings,but in other places the KH is so plain and sometimes funny looking (if you understand what I mean,Lols). Why is this so?
  18. “He also said the US will contribute $10 billion…” He can just help himself?
  19. Trump extends his Iran decision timeline to 10 to 15 days and says Board of Peace will be ‘looking over’ UN https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-administration-news-02-19-26 😂😂😂😂😂
  20. Yesterday
  21. I installed NWS desktop on Windows 11 on UTM (virtual machine). Now, if I want to install it on another virtual machine, do I have to disconnect from NWS Desktop installed on the virtual machine or UTM? Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
  22. We do not know every detail about Jehovah’s future judgments. And that is not a weakness in our faith. It is a test of it.
  23. Friday, February 20 He will separate people one from another.—Matt. 25:32. Will all who die during the events of the great tribulation be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection? The Scriptures make it clear that outright opposers whom Jehovah and his forces will destroy at Armageddon will not be resurrected. (2 Thess. 1:6-10) But what about others, for example, who may die from natural causes, from accidents, or at the hand of other humans? (Eccl. 9:11; Zech. 14:13) Could some of these people be among the “unrighteous” who will be resurrected in the new world? (Acts 24:15) We simply do not know. But we do know several things about future events. For example, we know that at Armageddon, people will be dealt with on the basis of how they have treated Christ’s brothers. (Matt. 25:40) And those judged as sheep will have shown their support for the anointed and for Christ.—Rev. 12:17. w24.05 10-11 ¶9-11
  24. This was the KH in Hawthorne, Fl. The congregation was dissolved a few years ago and the building is now for sale. When we formed the congregation, we had 3 elders and 28 cards in the file. The congregation was there for about 20 years and was dissolved during reorganization. The building needs quite a bit of work. Interesting fact ... the building on the right (and in the second picture) was, at one time, a theater. It was the first building we used when we first formed the congregation. We rented there until the building next door came up for sale and we moved the KH there when we bought the building. The old theater had a single restroom that we had to build behind the stage. To get to it, you had to come out the front door and go into the door on the right-side setback to access it. Since there was only one restroom, we had a restroom attendant in that side room to let you know if the restroom was vacant. In the third picture, the building to the left was a barbershop. If you notice, the KH roof extends over the barbershop roof. The walls for the two buildings are only about 30 inches apart. Since the property line is somewhere between the two buildings, it made getting a clear title a little difficult. The small town is economically depressed, so the real-estate market is not very good, and the building has not sold. Most of the publishers who were in the Hawthorne congregation now attend one of these two KH's

    • 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 applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer.  I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation.   One of them , I'd never met before.  I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses.   Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not.   I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.  But will be adding Tuesdays as well.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!
       
      STAY SAFE!!

      GM,  it's Deborah.  Please send to me your email address.  I think Sr. Bonnie, from my old cong, made the CA transcripts and I will forward to you when I get your address.   I thought I had it but cannot find it.   Not sure if she sent into one email both the AM and PM or if she sent them separate.  But I will send to you can you can decide.  Hope you are well.  We are ok  here....just cold weather.  Agape.
