  1. Past hour
  2. In this case they shared it in the “What’s New” section, but many other recent cases (like Italy) are not there at all 😢 to make it worse, there’s no RSS feed for the Global Communications section
  3. Here are my newest songs. The other day I went to the drive-thru at McDonalds near the job I had just finished to grab some lunch. The line was not moving. I sat there waiting. I was in the right-hand lane just after the split. There was a car behind me. The girl came on the box a couple times to tell me it would still "a minute or two" ... they had to reboot the computer. After about 10 minutes, I checked mu mirrors and saw I could back up and leave the lane since the car behind me was not right on my bumper. So, that's what I did. On my way home, I pass another McDonalds, so I stopped there and found the line was quite long - although it was moving. This was the inspiration for this song about going to the drive-thru at McDonalds. A brother I Zoom Chat with regularly who lives in Vermont (he is a member of this forum) has some black raspberries that grow wild behind his house. He picks them and gets enough that he can freeze some for use during the cold, snowy winter. That prompted my next song. After being inspired by this brother, I was inspired by my close relationship with my own fleshly brother, also a JW. We have lived on the same property we grew up on most of our lives. We used to work secularly together at various times and are friends as well as brothers. When we can, we like to go fishing together just to relax. That is the inspiration for the third song in this group.
  4. Today
  5. Here's the NYT article describing the beginnings of the court case: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/25/arts/design/jehovahs-witnesses-nazis-lawsuit-museum.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uVA.8-xI.EICY-MaBTPE2&smid=nytcore-android-share
  6. Will hit 100 today and this week. No central AC, but I have living room bearable for myself and dog. Concerned about adult son upstairs. Two people are now in custody for climbing Empire State Bldg. They stayed on aerial/antenna for half hour and got engaged. Troublesome ideas that people have. Hope the weather is tolerable wherever you may be.
  7. I experimented with the Custom Schedule feature recently. I created a schedule with one task for myself for last Sunday. The schedule showed up in Schedule and Duties in NWP and the Duty included the task description. Everything looks great and the task disappeared from the Duty section after it expired. However the Custom Schedule is still in the Schedule section of NWP several days later. I'm waiting to see if the Custom Schedule goes away or if I have to delete it in NWS.
  8. Central Louisiana, USA....at 0800 was already a HOT 80 degrees outside....heat index today expected to be 106 degrees!! Letter writing today and telephone calling for this old sister! I am so thankful to Jehovah for the provision of Zoom. You never miss a meeting and you can visit w/the congregation!! Service days on zoom is such a blessing to me! Spotty rain showers expected this afternoon.....will not cool things off....only sticky! Last week I was in w/the group in Central Louisiana, who had 30 inches of rain!!! Property flooded but none in the house thankfully. I did stay a few days w/my SO and his wife. How thankful I was for that. So many neighbors lost everything! I do not ever remember having 30 inches of rain in one day and I can tell you, it stormed and stormed! I often think of the wonderful, beautiful weather in the new system! Bring it on please!
  9. Changed in May 2026. It changed from a SHUFFLE button to a WATCH NOW button. Didn’t change the function of the button, just the look.
  10. An elder that uses AI occasionally told me that he had calculated how many DAYS he had been married by giving the starting date (weeding) and end date (current date). i did the same thing, asking how many days were between August 4, 1972 (wedding date) and the current date. I calculated the days myself and the number of days given by AI were wrong. I asked the question in different ways and kept getting wrong answers. I finally said "calculate the number of days between (the two dates. It calculated the number correctly finally. When I just asked how many days between two dates it constantly gave wrong answers. I have had AI write encouraging things and it always did very well. I haven't gotten away from ChatGPT myself. I can't sit at the computer long without severe pain so I just don't bother.
  11. I recently read an analysis of the popularity of Brown’s Da Vinci Code. It turns out it to be so great best seller because so many public figures on the Catholic Church directly opposed it. It drew so much interest that it sold in ten of millions of copies despite being literary weak position. Direct confrontation and opposition usually gives the opposite effect. So it’s wise not to directly engage with apostate and/or accusatory content. If something requires attention, I’m sure legal and OPI will take care of that. On the other hand, its absolutely necessary to be visible. People need to know us. We do share the good news. And as Jesus said wisdom is proved righteous by its actions. Thats why the new IG/TT accounts are so great - they provide visibility and are positive.
  12. I hope it does but I doubt it. We still don’t have enough followers on Socisl media 🤪😉🤣
  13. The update that will be shown this week should be the last update that had Brother Herd as host.
  14. Do these principles include needlessly exposing oneself to apostates or wanting to prove that we can tackle them? I remember someone said " Fo not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine." Would that be a law or a principle?
  15. I used to think that as well but we can’t second guess Jehovah, his ways are not our ways. But with over 9 million witnesses, one of us is going to get it right.
  16. Please is update #4 this week? My congregation meeting is this Friday. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  17. Yeah. It's beautiful. Like live TV. I loved the fact I can select and unselect. Quite nice [emoji106] Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  18. I think the GT will start in the fall of 2029 and Armageddon will be 3.5 years later in the spring of 2033. I think that when Jesus gave his life for mankind, Jehovah told Satan he had two days left...😁
  19. The measure of our value to Jehovah is not how much we can do, but how faithfully we continue doing what we can.
  20. Facing a heat wave. Will try to keep myself and doggie hydrated.

    • 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.”

      Something I’m glad we haven’t seen in the Watchtower for a long time: “(Brother Faithful finished his earthly course while this article was being prepared.)” 😢

      Sniff, THE turtle has turned himself into Prince Charming. Somehow the mutation has gone horribly wrong.
      He's practically the mascot of this forum.

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
