Blind,lame, handicapped, heart disease, dementia, Parkinsons, alhizmer, STD, so many illnesses addictions, Just think all our headlines will be good news! No loss of life or home due to foul weather. Headline 'Plenty of sunshine headed your way with more to follow!' The Titanic victims will be resurrected this Week April 14-15. Bring your towels and swimsuits! -
Don't know they would be gone rather than just not in active conversation. Murder, abortion, sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, homeless. So many won't come up in conversation any more. Fantastic to dwell on. I like your topic!

That’s a thoughtful question. Neutrality, especially in a Christian sense, doesn’t mean that we feel nothing about political leaders or world events. Jesus and his disciples also saw injustice, corruption, and cruelty in their time—but they didn’t align themselves with political parties or seek to change the world through human rulers. So, if a person feels upset by what a politician says or does, that’s just a human emotional reaction. Neutrality is about what we do with those feelings. For example not acting on them, via voting, protesting, rallies,. I think in a way we are very active in showing who we cast our vote for. We are not loud, abusive, in your face pushing for our leader but yet we hold firm to our stand. I think about several scriptures to keep highly charged emotions in check. The foremost is mam has dominated many to his injury. I pray for helping me with the art of reaching neutrality but sometimes realize the emotional part may not be acomplishied fully right now.

I have always loved the banned and underground means of still upholding Jehovah's will..it was so exciting to me to learn the various ways Jehovah used and what he did to fulfill his purpose . Stories of spys failing in the long run to thwart his ways---it may have looked like it was successful but but never was.. I remember being a little girl and sitting on my Dad's lap every Saturday night as we roared with laughter watching Get Smart and Car 54 Where Are You? I keep hoping we would have shoes with a secret phone in the heel to communicate with 'Headquarters'. Gosh my imagination runs wild with various scenarios we will use.

My depression after my husband's death 2 years ago finally cracked! For the last 2 months I have had new life breathed into me! I can speak of his death and not break down. I feel an excitement for life I have not felt in years! I know it is from seeking Jehovah's help and focusing on the things to come. For some reason the Nazi stories and our hx of underground was always the most thrilling to me. Now I hope to get that chance to hold up the way our family did!

The comments on above news post are a mixture of outrage and twisted feelings. @MyLuMoo 🍁:Trump said he needed the Russia/Ukraine conflict to end in order for him to get into heaven. Putin clearly just told him to go to he// 🤣

Another question I had to ask myself that I don't see here was: Do other drivers drive up next to you blaring their horns and waving their extended finger? Has this happened on repeated occasions? If you answer yes then please have someone DRIVE you for a comprehensive eye exam where dilation is involved. I am happy to report 7 months after eye surgery the above has not reoccurred even ONCE! Also, while meeting for field service if you offer to drive and others shriek 'No! I'll drive.: you may should reconsider what might cause this.

I love how my world wide family keeps me finely tuned with love and care. Adjusting and clarifying my thoughts. Every single one of you I am so grateful for!

In matters that are truly neutral — such as eating meat that had been offered to idols but was now just ordinary food — Christians could decide to abstain temporarily for the sake of someone else’s conscience (1 Corinthians 8:13; Romans 14:21). The motive here is love, not fear: avoiding stumbling a brother or sister while still holding the correct understanding privately. The key is that this kind of yielding doesn’t deny a Bible truth — it simply defers exercising a right for the benefit of another person’s spiritual well-

Why Peter was wrong in Galatians 2:12 Association with Gentile Christians was already approved by Jehovah (Acts 10:28, 34-35; Acts 15:7-9). Peter’s withdrawal wasn’t about kindly yielding to a weaker conscience — it was about giving in to fear of men (Galatians 2:12 says “fearing those of the circumcised class”). His actions suggested that Gentile believers were somehow “second-class,” which undermined the truth of the good news. This wasn’t a “neutral” matter — it touched a core teaching: the unity and equality of all Christians.

My verse mapping research uncovered this: Peter’s Prejudice Was Subtle, Not Open Hostility Peter wasn’t openly condemning Gentile Christians — he simply withdrew. This shows how powerful fear of human opinion can be, leading to passive compromise instead of active persecution. Hidden lesson: Sometimes our actions (or lack of them) speak louder than our words.

Question About Letter Writing
LeslieDean replied to Lori's topic in General Discussion & Everyday Chit Chat
Why would it be held at all? -
That was the one I thought of too. People going about their day and breaking news interiors TV. The picture of 'world leaders' all in the same shot made me think they were at a summit meeting or conference and finally 'came together' after signing declaration then announcement. I thought 'they' were political leaders because it wouldn't come from Jehovah's people.
