  1. Ahhh. You stirred a beautiful memory of our old friendship with Ray Davis who made that line of the song a world famous hit. He was originally with George Clinton and the PFunk Allstars before moving to be with The Temptations filling in for the bass who died. What a treasured friendship we shared with him and his wife Bonita. It's nice when a memory out of know where makes you feel warm and fuzzy. We became good friends when he was dying from throat cancer. Ironic a famed man dying with a condition that effected what brought him superstar status. Who let the dogs out??? Loved it too.
  2. I can't wrap my mind around these stories or figures so I feel it is Jehovah's way of protecting me. He always comes through wether I understand or not so we all can be grateful over that. If he waited till I understood we would still be back in the garden.
  3. These were the hamburger buns I made to take to a sisters backyard cookout. They were HUGE and pillowy and everyone had two hamburgers---one with the brisket /ground chuck blend then they all went back for just a bun! I'm 69 and just discovered I am the Widow of Zarapeth modern day version!
  4. I will be glad to when I make them again. But the Yorkshire pudding is pictured above in that ridiculously small doll oven. When I see you in paradise I will put them on the menu for you. I hope we can have them with roast beef!
  5. Yes sir! Decadent food generally refers to dishes that are often high in calories. This could include foods high in fats, sugars, or luxury ingredients. The term 'decadent' is often associated with desserts like chocolate truffles, cheesecake, or crème brûlée, but can also apply to savory foods like a rich and creamy alfredo pasta, foie gras, or a juicy, well-marbled steak. Can also mean labor intensive and with an oven that can vary 100 degrees either way during the same bake it is intensive! Heavy whipping cream is always decadent to me. and don't forget the organic beef tallow used in the Yorkshire pan that they get poured into.
  6. That picture was taken in December, shortly after moving in. My stove is tiny, and the thermostat does not work well- it can fluctuate as much as 85degrees during the same bake which can be disastrous for delicate items and bread. I have been waiting for 4 months for a new oven but have been told it still works so not a priority . Lol. If you don't enjoy cooking it may not be but for ones that do it is a hold your breath and hope it turns out decent. My company loved it! So even though this was not the ones from Saturday night they still were decadent...this time.
  7. Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and demi glaze, whiskey glazed carrots, spinach souffle, Chantilly Cake with vanilla bean frosting and cranberry compote. Mint Julep for cocktail. The Yourkshire puddings are devine with the demi glaze gravy.
  8. But if Jesus brought him as his plus 1 that would be okay, right? Just yanking your chain. Love you brother!
  9. That's another option! It's been 20?years ago since I visited Walkill Brooklyn.wnd for so reason I am remembering we were told that they rotate most individuals through each department except for specific ones (doctors, dentists lawyers etc for obvious reasons) and give them a chance to learn to area. I recall my husband saying they would not need to be more selective else the laundry come out pink. He was referring to 20 yr old me who had never done laundry , was never taught, so never sorted clothes . I through all his white shirts in with my red dress in order to do only one load. It proved to me that Jehovah would have taught me this step before letting me loose with others possessions. Just imagine the detail to learning we will receive..I may have to start at base and telearn all I think I know.
  10. It's so hard for my imagination to go too far. So intend to think of the future as similar to what we have now except PERFECT! I THINK of being trained on every job there is then rotating assignments every few hundred years. A barrista (surely we will still have lovely coffee shops to visit/relax/enjoy with friends. Two hundred years. Then go to learn and sew fashion. Two hundred years. Then go and study about horticultural --two hundred years. Captian a yacht --two hundred years. I want to do every job and experience it all.
  11. Since Jehovah knows me best I will be excited to learn where he uses me..I have been a nurse for 40 years and retired for three. I can't wait to learn a new course . I can come back to the study of our physical body but want to do something completely different.. even cosmetology excites me. Massage therapy. Cooking..painting study of color. Every aspect of study I want to encounter .
  12. @SofiaI understand your hurt feelings as I also felt the sting of his reply. But I did pause when I reread, several times in fact, why he questioned you for a reference link. The only thing different was I understood you wrote it in error as.i know your stance. A misunderstanding for sure. Yes his wording was indeed hurtful no matter how polite, but I am sure you know him to be a loyal , respected brother who oversees with caution even if it may have felt veiled harshness. I know you both to be strong pillars for Jehovah and in your hearts have already forgiven I love you all immensely.
  13. It's like a couple down to their last dime with no end in sight. One turns to the other and says 'Desperate times call for desperate actions. You may die if you rob that bank but I'm willing to take that risk.'
  14. Maybe they will use money from false religion and all it's properties as a reason to destroy
  15. Thank you! I will post how how reading and studying helped me come up with my theme for the dinner party. I'll have to post under another topic so as not to take up space here. I'm so excited to share it.
  16. I started studying our new publication Walk Courageously with God yesterday with two sisters. We spent 3.5 hrs talking to get to learn about each others past, as two of my sisters had never met. One from the cart I met and one from my congregation. The first chapter was on Enoch. Upon starting to discuss the chapter we realized we have already been walking Courageously and started to see ways we could improve. For the first time in 30;yrs I studied not to learn facts but simply through the eyes of bonding with my spiritual family. I am starting a dinner party this Saturday afternoon....oops I'm late for appt but will write more later.
  17. Over time, Jezebel stopped being treated as a name at all and became more like a warning term, similar to how Pharaoh or Herod function symbolically. Just googled this thought. Interesting
  18. August 2025 “Questions From Readers” in The Watchtower A more recent article discusses when the preaching work will end and clarifies that the good news of the Kingdom will continue to be preached right up until Armageddon, rather than being replaced entirely by a doom-and-gloom judgment message. This is an adjustment of earlier understanding and shows the Society’s current stance on the timing of any judgment-focused message.
