Paul’s road was not smooth, and we need to notice that. He faced danger, fatigue, violence, and even moments when his own brothers failed to see his worth. But none of that broke him. Why? Because he had done the hard work of learning Jehovah’s personality — not just on the page, but in real trials where Jehovah proved Himself faithful. Once Paul became convinced of Jehovah’s love, that conviction steadied him. And with that assurance, he kept ministering, kept serving, kept giving — not for applause, but because loyalty to Jehovah mattered more to him than comfort or recognition.

Russia and China abstained . . no veto. That's news.

Tuesday, November 18 By undeserved kindness you have been saved.—Eph. 2:5. The apostle Paul enjoyed a satisfying life in Jehovah’s service, but he had many challenges to overcome. Paul often traveled long distances, and travel was not easy in those days. On his journeys, Paul was sometimes “in dangers from rivers” and “in dangers from robbers.” He was also occasionally subjected to physical mistreatment from opposers. (2 Cor. 11:23-27) And Paul’s Christian brothers did not always show appreciation for his sincere efforts to help them. (2 Cor. 10:10; Phil. 4:15) What helped Paul to keep going in Jehovah’s service? Paul learned much about Jehovah’s personality from the Scriptures and from his own experiences. Paul became convinced that Jehovah God loved him. (Rom. 8:38, 39; Eph. 2:4, 5) And he came to love Jehovah very much. Paul showed his love for Jehovah “by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones.”—Heb. 6:10. w23.07 9 ¶5-6

So Dave stepped in with a grin so wide, fixing rhymes like justice on the side.

Art eased into the empty stool, and before he could speak, Jimmy’s eyes dropped to the filament in Art’s hand — and the old jockey froze for half a beat, as if recognizing tech he’d only ever seen in the prototype barn the feds once set up behind Stall 42.

Most of the so-called Christian nations are secular with little regard to religion. It's quite common, at least here in the US, to hear and read about people already in favor of destroying religion. Of course, they may claim it isn't being destroyed, but outgrown. They don't need to start with a full ban. Just start with passing a law that religious institutions and organizations cannot own property. Look at how Christendom in the US floundered during Covid when their parishioners could not come in person and tithe. Or start taxing those tithes and remove religious tax exemptions. This alone will choke a lot of religions. No need for police or military involvement at this stage. Save that for later as the people become accustomed to the loss of religion. History as well as current events has proven that the majority of the military and civilian law enforcement will follow orders regardless of morality or optics. Common soldiers and police have and continue to round up their neighbors. Give people cash or convince them their lives will be better once these undesirable others are gone. It might be as simple as a truly united UN realizing that they can only work together effectively if they ban religion. Muslims hate Jews and vice-versa. There already was a recent war wrapped in those religions. Each side would be eager to destroy the other. The start of the destruction may not be simultaneous. Perhaps the attack could begin with only assaulting one religion, say Christendom, and that could cause a snowball effect as others jump on the bandwagon and destroying religion becomes trendy. Some religious are staunchly opposed to the LGBT community. A unified UN might be pressured to enforce human rights that are violated in the persecution of the LGBT advocates. In the name of morality these religions are branded as extremists and their teachings hate speech.

This gives new meaning to the expression, "light as a feather"! Unbelievable!

It is Jehovah do the destruction.

Double posting calls for correction By Qapla who does error collection.

Jockey Jimmy, sitting behind a Pina Colada, wearing a purple and orange silk scarf, throwing back a swallow anytime someone mentioned a track term, (half a shot for a jockey's name) was nonchalantly scouring the front door to promote both his social and work life and seemed still in shape although aging, and picked up the Derby sitting on the bar stool next to him and nodded the now empty seat to the newcomer.

Wait

Art pushed open the door of the Squeeze-in Lounge, spotting Jimmy Winkfield right away — the retired jockey sat crookedly on his barstool, one hip higher than the other since the replacement, looking like a man who could balance on a galloping horse but not on level flooring.

New Word ???

I think what Marky said should resolve that. Happened to a nearby congregation as well. The day swap and forth resolved the issue.

I was just thinking and i would like your opinion on this if it happens instantly with nothing crazy before it what would cause people in the military which are mostly religous to destroy itself?

Any chair recommendations for public witnessing?

Various is a cognate of the word variation that this game centers around and is similar to the word conjugate, which appeared in the instrux for this game.

Art went back to the home where he boarded with other trackies and couldn't wait to update every one including Anthony, who actually lived in that residence while his parents rented out spare rooms (and even the spare bed in his room) and he said that well known jockey, Jimmy Winkfield still hung out most nights at the local Squeeze-in Lounge and had ridden Speedy Brian.

I think I understand what you mean about saying “that’s a good question” people might find it patronising. Someone said to me today that he can’t believe in a God because of all the terrible things around the world, he asked “if God is real why’s he not stopping it?” I paused and said did you know the Bible answers that question, I can show you right here on my phone. On this occasion he wasn’t willing to listen however hopefully next time he will. Sometimes being aware of the words we use can make a difference, but the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” also comes to mind. If we find those words work well then carry on 😅

Thank you Mike, so far I’m loving it!

Art tapped the filament again, watching it flicker faintly in the dim room. “Julie… this isn’t an ordinary recording. It’s adaptive — it updates itself whenever someone connected to the deal dies. That’s why the voices still sound new.”

An old tape recorder was able to play back the "filament." There were three voices, two appeared to be female. The recording stated that the two owners of Speedy Brian were attesting that they were providing a medication to JUlie and if she ever won the Kentucky Derby, she would repay one thousand dollars to each, no matter how many, owners of Brian or their surviving relatives.

It should be tomorrow my brother.
