Tortuga

All you had to do was ask, I would have sent you a selfie...

I would love to see the United Nations get restructured with more authority (teeth) that would really be a sign that we are moments away from P&S. It could be called the New United Nations. Of course, we would call it the Flying NUN when Jehovah destroys it...

Isn't that an option under App Features>Schedule?

I'm shocked there isn't more diversity in the GB. There aren't any Asians, Islanders, Latinos, Australians, New Zealanders, Welsh, Alaskans, Greek, Jew, Brazilian, Venezuelan, French, Irish, Native American Indian, Indian.... Should I go on? If someone is offended that there isn't a GB member from their ethnic background, then why aren't they offended that all ethnicities aren't represented?

The Final Hours of Jesus' Life filmed 110 years ago. I thought his final hours were nearly 2000 years ago...

I thought you were going to start a new topic every day until the Olympics started..

Good to know, I'll be sure to stay off the road and any public transportation just in case...

They would think that I can't tell the difference between politicians, they all look and sound the same to me, so I ignore all of them equally.

Nuetral is the nu neutral...

I can pause a live broadcast on TV, then resume it or skip what I didn't see.

When the local news starts to discuss anything political, I pause the TV and do something else for a few minutes, then I fast-forward through the political report and get back to the local news.

Does that include extreme annoyance?

Yeah, but they knew the drill.. What you saw is what you got...

INSIGHT: Resurrection How would it be possible in 1,000 years to resurrect and educate the billions now in the grave? Nevertheless, an illustration reveals what a simple, practical thing Jehovah has in mind for mankind. Not to prophesy, but merely for the purpose of illustration, let us assume that those who compose the “great crowd” of righteous persons who “come out of the great tribulation” on this system of things alive (Re 7:9, 14) number about 6,000,000 (about 1/1000 of earth’s present population). Then if, after allowing, say, 100 years spent in their training and in ‘subduing’ a portion of the earth (Ge 1:28), God purposes to bring back three percent of this number, this would mean that each newly arrived person would be looked after by 33 trained ones. Since a yearly increase of three percent, compounded, doubles the number about every 24 years, the entire 20 billion (20,000,000,000) could be resurrected before 400 years of Christ’s Thousand Year Reign had elapsed, giving ample time for training and judging the resurrected ones without disrupting harmony and order on earth. Thus God, with his almighty power and wisdom, is able to bring his purpose to a glorious conclusion fully within the framework of the laws and arrangements he has made for mankind from the beginning, with the added undeserved kindness of the resurrection.—Ro 11:33-36.

It came and went and there wasn't any declaration of P&S despite all of the guesses that a cure would be the trigger for P&S.

"You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet."

It seems that it would take more than that for the world to think there is P&S. If Russia suddenly stopped attacking Ukraine today, would the world think it had achieved P&S? I don't think so. If Israel stopped attacking Gaza today, would the world think there was a global P&S? I don't think so. It seems that whatever causes the world to declare P&S has to be bigger than what is happening now.

I see that you took some CASH just in case...

So my next guess for a future update is that sisters can be used to read the Watchtower Study and CBS. Some sisters in our congregation are excellent readers and really like to read, I would love to see them used to read the WT and CBS.

I was sharing my opinion, that's what we do here isn't it?

So, here's a thought, why don't we all dress the way we use to unless we need to take off our jacket and tie.. I know we don't have to wear a tie and jacket but if we are in a nice air-conditioned KH, then why wouldn't we want to do our best? This new provision to adapt our clothing to the environment reminds me of Zoom, it's a great provision for those that need it but that doesn't mean everyone should do it. Hold on, let me put on my fire protection gear before you respond..

I just stored my crew neck T-shirts and bought a bunch of V-neck T-shirts. Personally, I like a long sleeve shirt with a button-down collar if I am not going to wear a tie.

It seems that most of the brothers that I know are wearing beards, it won't take long before everyone in the territory realizes that Jehovah's Witnesses are wearing beards. I really think it will be a complete non-issue when the GT starts.

What a great idea, I never thought of why the little boy was with the apostles and his willingness to share.
