  1. Trousers is the correct term to use in some countries like England where pants can refer to underwear. So you can get in trouble if you use the wrong term😀 Plus spelling error in picture!
  2. After I watched the broadcast yesterday morning I headed to the Kingdom Hall and ended up conducting the meeting for field service. I was wearing my tie. Nobody else had yet seen the broadcast but I encouraged them to watch it plus I mentioned the point about inviting disfellowshipped ones to the special talk and memorial. Just before I concluded a missionary couple on vacation from their assignment in Africa arrived and sat behind everybody else. I knew them and welcomed them. The brother had no tie and the sister was wearing dress slacks. Yes they had just watched the broadcast and quickly made a change. Here in Florida it can get quite hot in service so after a short time I dispensed with wearing my tie😀
  3. Nice.... Forwarded song to a few of our many newly bearded ones😀
  4. Quote Cricket!!!! I didn't know American's knew about cricket Originally from UK. Lived within walking distance of the county cricket ground of Leicestershire. When I had no money as a youngster i remember that you could get in free for the last 1/2 hour of a days play.😀
  5. I enjoy soccer, cricket and athletics. I try and keep up with the headlines in other sports i don't watch usually so that I can hold a conversation with someone who is more interested.
  6. In last years report 2 congregations were listed under palestinian territories. Could be in West Bank ?
  7. This system is fascinated by famous people and what is going on in their lives. We should avoid getting into that type of thinking. Serena is just another imperfect person that apparently wants to serve Jehovah. Avoid wanting to know everything that is going on in her life.
  8. Keeping active where possible can really help. I've got just over 2 years to make it to be a mighty man (80 years of age) I jog a 3 mile trail sround 3 times a week. Slow pace around 12 minute miles. Tripped and fell this weekend. Apart from a black eye, some scraped bruises and injured pride I didn't do any damage. I'll maybe take a week off! I've done over 130 runs this year and only the 1 accident. Financially live simply on social security.
  9. Margaret Keane, Painter of Sad-Eyed Waifs, Dies at 94 - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Here story was contained in the Awake, Famous for her paintings and the movie that was made of her life.
  10. Idrissa Gueye refuses to wear PSG shirt featuring rainbow symbol - BBC Sport He refused to play because they wanted him to with a shirt featuring the rainbow symbol. Courageous stand but he is going to get accused of being bigoted.
  11. I'm not sure the writer gives the right viewpoint on Jehovah's Witnesses. We all know and agree that abortion is wrong but we are not campaigning to change what laws governments make.
  12. Thanks Eric. Followed your suggestions, deleted 2 files and Library has now updated successfully.
  13. Thanks. I saw that but could not locate either of 2 files mentioned.
  14. This year I started to have problems with updating Watchtower Library. I am running it on my desktop using Windows 10. So I reinstalled Watchtower Library and updated. It got to 2022 but Study Watchtower stopped at January issue. Then I am getting same message "failure to validate update package" I have tried manual updates and read FAQ in Watchtower Library. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions that can help?
  15. What has happened demonstrates the utter failure of man to bring about peace to the earth. It also shows how Satan controls depraved actions of people. If he can't rule he'll bring ruin and suffering. We probably all feel like Habakkuk did as recorded in Chapter 1:2,3. We can't wait for Jehovah to step in. But we know we have to. The cry of "pace and security" still is ahead plus other prophecies leading up to Armageddon.
  16. We had an announcement regarding this at our midweek meeting last night. So as mentioned check with your local elders.
  17. There is no 100% guarantees. A local brother who works at a local hospital said 98% of the COVID patients were unvaccinated. So being vaccinated percentage wise is definitely an added protection. We can still take additional precautions that have been suggested.
  18. We use the KHS program. Group overseers can receive a file for their group. The fill in the report and send it to the secretary who imports it into the KHS app saving him from having to input the data. Majestic Software - KHS
  19. It is quite likely with so many refugees from Afghanistan that many of them will get an opportunity to br given a witness that they never had before. How appealing a peaceful new world may be to some. Then if some come into the truth they may be able to tell friends and relatives that are still in the country.
  20. Apology to Jehovah’s Witnesses | Daily Telegraph News sources often print distorted facts and misinformation which public often laps up.
  21. Here in the USA we just heard that our CO would be staying also because of no rotation this year.
  22. How easily people can be influenced to do wrong things when they are part of a large crowd(mob) The same mob spirit of the world has been used against Jehovah's people. In the United States during the 2nd world war. Also the mob in Sodom who wanted to abuse Job's guests. It is a spirit promoted by Satan.
  23. Nice life story on Richard Kelsey... Kelsey, Richard: w12 10/15 17-21 I put his age at close to 90 so he's doing good..
