  1. Today
  2. Wednesday, June 3 Solid food belongs to mature people.—Heb. 5:14. Examples of basic teachings include repentance, faith, baptism, and the resurrection. (Heb. 6:1, 2) Such teachings form the foundation of Christianity. For this reason, the apostle Peter spoke of them when preaching to the crowd at Pentecost. (Acts 2:32-35, 38) We must accept these primary teachings to become disciples of Christ. For example, Paul warned that any who deny the teaching of the resurrection reject the entire Christian faith. (1 Cor. 15:12-14) However, we must not be satisfied with just a basic knowledge of the truth. In contrast to the primary doctrine, solid spiritual food includes not only Jehovah’s laws but also his principles, which help us to understand his thinking. To benefit from such food, we must study, meditate on, and carefully apply God’s Word. As we do so, we train ourselves to make decisions that please Jehovah. w24.04 5 ¶12-13
  3. 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)

  4. Quora is just Yahoo Answers without the fun. Quora is a mess to navigate through, and most of the answers are AI written. One of my work from home jobs i rate google results, which could include stuff from Quora, and it pisses me off how my company considers someone an 'expert' because they have 'expert of ABC' under their name. They said an answer was a good answer because of "Expert of buying purses" was under the name, when the response was complete horse poo. There may be some google chrome plugins or something that may make Quora look a it more tolerable but idk. Never have I ever happily eaten something with cilantro in it
  5. Oh yeah i never posted the finished photo. Finished it last month
  6. I think we're going to find out WHY being able to buy verified badges is a bad idea.....
  7. I got fooled by the “ official “ one, but it just took a minute to realize that it was not the official one
  8. It's easy to say it's fair that Americans need to pay for it when it doesn't have the potential to affect you. It’s one thing for tax dollars being used for things that are actually beneficial, like hospitals, fire departments, the police, and public schools. But based on what I know about these data centers and the intent behind them, it won't really help Americans, or anyone, very much. I read the article you pasted, and it looks like many who’ve spent decades investing for retirement may end up paying for a system that will take away jobs from their children and grandchildren.
  9. "During the month of September 2026, there will be a worldwide campaign featuring the Enjoy Life Forever! brochure. We will endeavor to place this brochure with all interested people in our territory with the goal of starting Bible studies." --Announcements and Reminders, April. Although the focus will be the brochure and Bible studies, the wp26.1 will be in the "Teaching Toolbox" during Sept-Oct.
  10. We just hit 200K followers on Instagram and 30K followers on TikTok.
  11. Never have I ever gambled on horse racing but my great-aunt Ruth lived in Arkansas and owned a thoroughbred farm. When I visited there at age 9, I was put in the saddle on the slowest pony in the western hemisphere.
  12. I didn't know you had it available for Windows. I'll try that next time.
  13. He did that, I can see the new schedule on NWP that he posted yesterday. However, his schedule does not show up on my NWS and it shows he hasn't used NWS in 7 days, but I know he was on it yesterday. He didn't have anyone else do it for him. Would it create that problem if he isn't closing the program correctly?
  14. This is very basic but, is he aware that he needs to send the data to NWP?
  15. Oh, I see, you're referring to jwlFusion App (for Android)... I would like to PM you to resolve this, but can't... Can you PM me to troubleshoot? You said you're on the latest v2.3.0. What Android version? The archives you are merging, what JW Library version made them? How large are they? Have you tried with other archives? How about just merging the same one with itself? Anything else that you can think of that could help me figure out what's going on? Eryk
  16. Our Service Overseer revised a Field Service schedule yesterday and posted it to NWP. He then revised it again and reposted, so I know he used NWS several times yesterday. However when I look at the Congregation Sharing information in NWS, it shows that he hasn't used NWS in a week. The Field Service schedule on NWS does not show his revisions. It appears he isn't syncing with NWS, is that correct? Is he doing something wrong?
  17. All of our shared brothers did a coordinated updated on Sunday from #1452 to #1455. We had 2 lingering stubborn issues that I couldn't resolve but they are fixed now. Everything is working smoothly! "Be joyful and rejoice with all your heart" (Zephaniah 3:14)
  18. It's around $6 per gallon here. Its a good thing my car doesn't run on coffee, its over $20 per gallon...🤣
  19. On Qapla's zoom, one discussion was about the name Portland for US cities. There are over 20 cities named Portland. I also heard on the news that POrtland, Ma Maine is the most 'walkable.' I remember driving to destinations in Portland, Maine, but never walking the city. Also on news today, in New York, people are wearing orange and blue for the Knoccks. Also, more mn - men coming out or sewers thru round man hole covers. HOope you are having a good day, wherever,
  20. "So many questions. What kind of writer am I if I have to fill a page with questions instead of answers? Shouldn't a story begin with certainty? Shouldn't a writer know where the road leads before taking the first step? But perhaps that is the problem. Maybe stories don't begin with answers at all. Maybe they begin with a restless thought that refuses to sit quietly. A small itch in the mind. A loose thread hanging from the sleeve of an ordinary day. Who was this man? Why was he staring at a blank page? Why did the silence in the room seem louder than the scratching clock on the wall? And why did it feel as though something — or someone — was waiting for him to write the first sentence? He tapped the pen against the paper. What if the story wasn't about a king, or a warrior, or a lost treasure? What if it was about a man trying to write a story? Had that been done before? Surely it had. But did that matter? The page remained empty. Or was it empty? The longer he stared, the less certain he became. There was something strange about the paper. Had that faint line been there a moment ago? Had someone written a word and erased it? Why did he suddenly feel as though he wasn't alone in the room? He leaned closer. There, barely visible. A single word. Not written in his handwriting. Not written by anyone he knew. Just one word. "Finally."

    • 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.”

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.
