  1. I've heard the recommendations, and I respect all the reasoning that goes into them. But when a brother or sister on this platform has an obvious need, it's hard to just ignore it. I mean, Jehovah will take care of so many problems in a person's life, and I do value the power of prayer. However, aren't we sometimes the answer to prayers, too?
  2. Sometimes I read such heart-rending writings from the friends on this site. I feel powerless to help, especially if they live in another country. But sometimes I can help financially. You know, not a lot, but a little. Maybe even enough to make a difference? My question is: what do you think about helping friends through online pay platforms like Venmo, Paypal, etc? I can see where it could have both pros and cons. But many advisers can help clarify even cloudy issues.
  3. Bea, you once sent me a dvd with 2 public talks on it. One was "Jesus' relatives" and I can't remember the other one, but both were so remarkable and special that I loaned them to another sister. She misunderstood me when I loaned them, and I never saw them again. (She must have loved them, too?) She passed away last year, and her daughter couldn't find the disc.

     

    I was so hoping you might have digital copies that you could send me, because I'd LOVE to have them again. If not, thanks for at least that memory. They made a wonderful impression on me.

      Ok, i still have the DVDʼs. First of all, how did i send them to you? A computer that has and is able to burn them? Comluters have changed so very much. I do have an external dvd thingy for my computer. 
      So, when we figure out how i sent themʼ i will get you the Jesus relatives, and pick one of my favorites for the second one. 
      k?♥️

      That sounds wonderful. And so are you!

  4. Such a relief to know this. I'd like to think most of us could do an adequate job of explaining our beliefs, and this movie disturbed me mainly because they painted the parents as fearful and the 17 year old as not very spiritual.
  5. First of all, I would not recommend this movie. The lawyer for the defendant (JW couple) does a better job of explaining why Witnesses don't accept blood than the couple or their 17-year old son does. Having said that, does anyone know the real facts behind this UK court case?
  6. This is what Chat says: The movie your father is probably thinking of is Love on a Bet. Here’s why it matches the clues: It’s a black-and-white comedy from the 1930s. The story revolves around a wager. The main character makes a bet with his wealthy uncle that he can leave New York with no clothes or money and reach Los Angeles in 10 days, arriving with a new suit and $100. Early in the journey he has to improvise clothing and survive with almost nothing, which includes scenes where he uses a newspaper as clothing and convinces people (like a tailor) to help him. Much of the comedy comes from him talking his way into help and opportunities while completing the challenge. It stars Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie. 🎬 Basic premise: A broke playwright makes a crazy bet that he can cross the country with nothing and arrive successful and well-dressed. Along the way he uses charm, clever tricks, and persuasion to survive. ✅ The bet, improvised clothing, black-and-white comedy, and talking people into helping him all line up with what your father remembers.
  7. My son goes to play every Sunday afternoon with a group from our Hall. The group has expanded a little to include friends from nearby congregations. They love it!
  8. One summer from the local forest fires, I ended up with pneumonia. I went to the clinic, they gave me a Z-Pak. Even then, when I went outside, mind you in the summertime, I’d end up with bronchitis. And I couldn’t get rid of it. I figured I’d die. I was in my late 70s and I couldn’t get rid of what I considered to be something pretty serious..

    I had a horrible experience at a Bible study with someone in the house burned a piece of toast. I could only bring it wanted to do the dash for the door. 

    We are out town, at the local health food store. I went to the health food area and told the lady what I was going through and did she have any suggestions. She told me to try oil of oregano. In two days I got my lungs back. 

    If I think I’m gonna go to the clinic and they’re gonna give me an antibiotic for whatever, I drag out the oil of oregano.

    It’s a broad spectrum, antibiotic, and you need to do research so you know how to use it. But I tell you I think it’s wonderful.

    Love, Bea

      Things to ponder, and, perhaps get answers as we move on to perfection…

      What Not to Mix with Mullein Tea? – Mullein & Co.

      Most interactions aren't about mullein being harmful. They're about timing. That gel coating that soothes your irritated throat? It also coats your digestive tract, blocking medication absorption if you drink them too close together.

      Interesting article. Good that I don't take any of those drugs or medications. 

      The only thing that comes close is the Gingko Biloba, which I do take. But only when I remember to.

  9. I KNEW I should have saved that link for the Virtual Bible tour today! Now I can't even find it.

    Sigh....

      Seen part of one seems very good,

  10. A few years back, I (finally) wrote down some of my childhood memories. Now, with my memory experiencing "dead zones" (occasionally)--I'm so glad I did! This one was about my sister following me on one of my woodsy treks in the hills of Oklahoma. https://medium.com/the-memoirist/buck-creek-adventure-6aa7651ad88a
  11. This might have been shared on this thread already. If so, I apologize in advance. I've had the most success with filling out my family tree on familysearch.org. It's absolutely free and once you start adding people you are related to, the platform will actually pull records from census, death, courthouse and other resources to ask if this person might also be related to you. There's also a section on famous people you might be related to (once they have enough information to connect you on your family lineage.) You'll even be able to see the common ancestor that makes you related--and to what degree. And did I mention it's absolutely free? Of course, the most complete tree will happen in the New System. I really look forward to filling it out, then, because so many questions will be answered that we just can't answer now. And we'll be able to talk with so many of those from our ancestors. Sigh! What exciting times are coming!
  12. Especially when you throw in the UN and the new Pope from America....hmmmm....we're all watching with baited breath here....
  13. And fires burning almost all the time in the West.....sigh....
  14. Just reaching out to say hello. I'm a newbie here and I am trying to navigate and get use to the site. But I'm so grateful that is a safe place online with REAL servants of Jehovah. I hope all is well with you sis.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    My grandparents learned the truth in the 1920's. My father introduced my mother, and she was baptized in the 1960's. I grew up around the truth, although sadly, none of my other sisters ever progressed. Yet.

My Hobbies & Interests

    Reading (of course!) Singing, swimming, reading (constantly). Traveling more now that I took early retirement. Not enjoying it as much as I would if COVID would clear out.

  • My favorite books
    I don't have as much time to read anything but spiritual material these days, but I enjoyed the Foundation series by Asimov...anything science fiction, really. REAL science fiction, not fantasy or magic themes. Also, dystopian plots fascinate me.
