  1. Past hour
  2. On ministry on Friday, so literally a day before this announcement, the sister I was working with had on a beautiful knee length skirt but it was quite flowy…and it was windy. And let’s just say she had to grab it quick at some points. I soooo appreciate now having the choice of wearing trousers, especially on windy days in the ministry, so our full attention can go to our preaching work, not making sure our skirt doesn’t flow up! (And yes I know she had a choice to wear a different kind of skirt, but to be fair to her it was so sunny when she left the house and the wind just picked up out of nowhere! That’s England for you I guess, the weather is VERY changeable).
  3. Today
  4. It maybe shock and awe, but at the end of the day, who dropped the nukes on Japan? Many might think Iran is a nutty country, the Anglo- American Power dropped nukes on people and destroyed nations through the years too.
  5. Most notably N. Korea. Imagine the shock and awe when Iran conducts a test
  6. I hate to start a thread like this but I didn’t see one. Technically this should’ve been started with Covid but here’s something to start it. Maybe we can see what’s going on regionally. If this is too much moderators delete. CDC issues alert over rising measles cases in the U.S. https://www.yahoo.com/news/cdc-issues-alert-over-rising-032259039.html
  7. "Does this tie go with this suit?" - said no one ever again...
  8. Yes, that scripture refers to Anglo- American Power, yet other nations set off nukes too for testing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_weapons_tests#:~:text=This has been done on,sites far from territorial waters.
  9. Another way to think about it: If two rival gangs were fighting (like the Sharks and the Jets in West Side Story) and one person had a gun, that person could effectively use the gun to bring the fight to an end. Now, if everyone had their own gun, it would be rather stupid for any of them to use their gun because they would not put an end to the fight, that would only make the fight a circular firing squad. Google says there are 9 countries with nuclear weapons. Iran will be the 10th. If only one used a nuke, there would be a chain reaction on some level. In any case, Rev. 13:13 and the w22.05 10 were added to our Beliefs Clarified. Hopefully there will be no reason to update.
  10. The brother with a “part on the program” is dressed the same as the audience: You’ll find that in all the paintings, simply because there’s no Biblical indication otherwise.
  11. Our standards where I live have reflected what the business world wear. Corporate uniforms were the norm, even for government departments. And they have become less formal too over the last 20 years of being in a government corporate workplace. So I see why our brothers, who are indeed discreet and wise, are allowing us to wear dignified clothing as reflected in the conservative business world. It’s not a lowering of standards. We are still being viewed as very appropriate for the important work we do. And I too like how we have matured as an organisation that teaches us what Jehovah requires, and trusts the sheep to be modest and discerning too. Our motive is to please Jehovah, not man. And yet, today I wore my dress pants for cart work. And I was scared and apprehensive. Why? It’s hard to change our mindset. But boy, I was really appreciating the extra warmth in the cold, blustery weather (the cart would have taken off if it wasn’t tethered), it was so windy. And I said a grateful prayer to Jehovah for the changes 🌺.
  12. I bought 1 slack for me and will add some more. You'll never why it is allowed now. Ive seen our convention music videos and sisters are wearing slacks to have group meeting during GT.
  13. Nicely put, not to mention Christendom soon won't be a concern. That is very exciting news isn't it?
  14. https://theprint.in/world/india-condemns-all-forms-of-religiophobia-ruchira-kamboj-as-un-adopts-resolution-on-measures-to-combat-islamophobia/2003155/ “We trust that the resolution adopted today does not establish a precedent that could result in numerous resolutions centred on phobias tied to specific religions, potentially dividing the United Nations into religious camps,” she stressed. Kamboj emphasised the need for the United Nations to maintain its stance above such religious concerns, which have the potential to fragment us rather than unite us under the banner of peace and harmony, embracing the world as one global family.
  15. We need to start asking ourselves if our standards are appropriate, and not if our standards make us stand out in a fallen world. We're rapidly approaching the time when we won't have to set ourselves apart because we'll be the only ones left. We won't have to try to distinguish ourselves from anyone because they will be no alternatives. I think the GB are sensing that all of these standards we've been living by don't make sense in the NS, and that's the setting we should be preparing for. Every style that currently exists was created in Satan's world; none of it is sacred, just familiar. We are free to keep or discard as we see fit, and we won't take the opinions or theoretical reactions of a godless world into account. Our standards of dress are not dignified in comparison to something else; our standards of dress are dignified. Period.
  16. You could add the picture you wish to use into JWL playlist, along with any other pictures and/or videos that the speaker will use for the occasion, also the songs as well just to make it easier for the A/V attendant. Just display the required picture that you want before and after the meeting. Our congregation would normally use OnlyM for the Memorial, as we can put the all the required songs, picture and videos (if there is any) in order to be shown, which negates the use of JWL displaying the year text on the monitors, otherwise it is a blank black screen when no images are displayed. For each Memorial since going back in person in our congregation, we have been displaying the artwork of the Memorial invitation.
  17. Buy the top package for $24.?? and get the $29.17 for free! Save about $5!
  18. Hmm, I thought it was COVID and so many staying home causing demand to tank. Of course, once things opened back up ... Prices would rise as demand kicked into high gear. And sadly, it's about to get worse: Surging gas prices just hit a significant milestone https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/business/gas-prices-inflation-russia
  19. Yesterday
  20. Taipei slams Putin for claiming Taiwan is part of China https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/5117179
  21. https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/2024-03-18/ty-article/.premium/eu-unanimously-agrees-to-impose-sanctions-against-violent-israeli-west-bank-settlers/0000018e-52c2-dc23-a3bf-daf760d20000 The decision marked the first time that the EU's 27 member countries had agreed to sanction violent Israeli settlers, following in the footsteps of the United States and Britain.
  22. Someone specifically asked about those kind of shirts in South Florida In South Florida they are considered casual, A few fancy restaurants won’t let you in dressed like that in this locale so I was answering his question

    • I commented about how, even if your mate irritates you, seeking consolation elsewhere is definitely not the solution. No one of the opposite sex wants to hear about how unhappy you are- talk to your mate about it,  Jehovah, or the elders, if necessary. Leave others out of it. 🤨

      I never thought I’d feel this way, or say it. It’s almost too much for me to keep up with. FB gets a cursory glance, and, here, I read until my brain is chattering at me. 
      To be blunt, it is hard to keep up with our site, and keep on my toes, with studying and service. 
      Here, I just don’t have time to read it all. I suppose, eventually, I will, but not today!

      Progressive far leftist ideology is 100% incompatible with Bible principles. Just because worldly media continually promotes certain ideas or virtues doesn't mean that those ideas are remotely true or that those virtues are remotely good. Have some of us forgotten who's' ruling this world?
