I paid something like $3.85 yesterday at Costco. Granted, it's Costco and they are always cheaper than nearly everyone else. Still, while gas prices shot up some, they are still somewhat reasonable. Somewhat.

That's bad because a hundred dollar isn't enough even for a cup of chocolate ice-cream on that long journey, and what's a trip without snacks.

THE WATCHTOWER Is World Peace Possible? World peace is assured, and the Bible’s solution will surprise you! https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-no1-2026/

Once upon a time in Baramita a beautiful kingdom far far away, there lived a warrior named Zed who was very valiant ... His skills in battle were unmatched.. He helped rid the land of criminals and helped to strengthen the borders... Baramita as a kingdom became magnificent, attracting visitors and businesses.. When King Magunda of Baramita died without an heir, the kingship was unanimously handed over to this great warrior Zed. Zed ruled fairly, he was kind and loved by all his subjects. All seemed well, but the court officials were worried... King Zed was still unmarried and he was getting older. They wondered what will happen to Baramita in the hands of someone else.. They shuddered at the thought of a Puppet king taking over.. So unanimously they decided to beg the king to get married and produce an heir.. They needed a King from this King.. "But How do we approach him with this Subject?" Thought the court officials... The King is well known for his mercurial temper!!! "Off With His Head!!!!" Was a known order in the Palace.. Though mostly justified.. But then still Scary!!! So? What could be done.. How would Baramita be saved from this grim future?

inside we can read: The Watchtower (ISSN0043-1087) September/October2026 is published by Wachttoren-,Bijbel-en Traktaatgenootschap. [Dutch issue]

It seems it will catch even JWs out by its suddenness. Questions From Readers, November 2025 said: What, then, may we expect? We need not look for news reports that governments are slowly becoming more supportive of the United Nations. What we can expect is this: With startling suddenness, Jehovah will put it into the hearts of the nations to hand over their power to the wild beast. When that happens, we will know that the great tribulation is about to begin. Meanwhile, “let us stay awake and keep our senses” because sudden changes are soon to come!—1 Thess. 5:6.

As this is not a campaign like last year, I only ordered the regular amount. But seeing this, its going to be a popular issue. Going to need more!

I like whn it's posted on the first day of the month

It is up to 1123 now.

Love this from page 5 😆

Interesting, do you suppose there could be a federal 55 mph mandate under the current administration? Or do they just need to drill more ? We do live in interesting times ....

He's a very good analytical thinker. I like his talks because they reflect that. Since I live in Montreal, where Brother Splane served as Circuit Overseer in French, there are plenty of brothers and sisters here knew him back in those days (I don't know what year...). All of them have fond memories of him. No one was surprised when he was appointed to the Governing Body; they could see it coming. It was only a matter of time.

@Jim Jam thanks for those clips. I LOVED family guy back in the day, i think i stoped watching back around 2016 because it didnt have the umph that brought me into it, so im familiar with those clips, however this is my first time seeing them as a Witness, oddly enough the second clip i can enjoy slightly a bit more because this is also the first time ive seen it after watching Quantum Leap... I also do have that same reaction when i find someone that wants to listen its like a "I.. Didnt think id get this far." 🤣 South Park is another show i enjoyed watching until around 2014ish, but I do what Butters does, whenever a door to door salesman shows up i also use it as an opportunity to witness to them.... Hey you knocked on MY door, you asked for it 🤣🤣. Side note, the clip about Rebecca, it has nothing to do with a blood transfusion (not your fault in thinking it would the title mentions it) but i did get a good laugh from it 🤣.

That's a beautiful poem, Dilip. Thanks for sharing your observation about how we need to be glad of what capacities we have. Your kindness helped three people too!

I have used Jwlfusion several times and it has worked fine, but it wouldn't work today. After designating the files and starting the merge, it ran briefly and stopped. I tried several times and it would not create the merge file.

First base, though a baseball term, is also used in describing successfully reaching the opening objective in a multiple objective endeavor

This is a fun one about having a sandwich PB&J is Never Wrong

The only sign that im looking is when the nations give their power to the UN.. otherwise, expectation postponed makes the heart sick.

i dare to write the following with pen and paper.....an almost forgotten skill that cannot easily be fraudulently stolen or twisted to suite a sinister change. Very few people will take the time to read it since it requires the laborious action of unfolding paper...but thats ok......that what i want.....a writing only valued by old people from a time long ago.

either that or take in a homeless baboon

New poem: I must clean my house and car very soon,

New story. A man sat down with a pen and paper wondering what kind of story he could start for a post on jwtalk which he thought about for a while and then he writes ----

That's good because wondering what to do to get the money a nice man walking by hands them a hundred dollars.

Some sources say it could face liquidity as early as July... https://betterworldcampaign.org/budget/the-secretary-general-is-underscoring-the-uns-financial-crisis-we-look-between-the-lines 🍿
