  1. A bit disappointing that the April broadcast wasnt adapted to include the virus. I guess the brothers prerecord the Broadcasts... But even a PS at the end would have been welcome. They are showing restraint but they also need to balance the human need for recognition, and a call to action for the faithful. I personally know that brothers in the writing department read this forum, one day a month. They may take notice of the publishers and their 'knocking'. Not taking away from the broadcasts and assuring the Bros of my christian love, support and faith.
  2. It will be interesting to see if they really are invited? We may be having the Memorial For Family Worship?
  3. ☕ I wonder of the perfect person will need as much coffee? I love coffee, but I suspect we love the effect over the taste just a little bit more, or we would maybe all drink decaf? As the 20th century philosopher, Dolly Rebecca Parton once mused: Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawn and stretch and try to come to life Maybe in the Paradise we won't need the cup to contain quite as much ambition? 🤣 We had a Circuit Overseer that used to shun coffee because he said that it smelt like burning rubber. I love the smell of burning rubber.
  4. Very French in your approach. Well done. Maybe the hourly timetable will better suit the Germans? 😂
  5. This week we were talking/dreaming about our ultimate day in paradise. Here's a start- Sunup-7.30am Reading- possibly watching spiritual food, meditation, prayer 7.30-8.00am Pick and/or prepare meal with the family 8.00-12 noon Strenuous working- Gardening, landscaping, home building, cleaning and maintenance, community works/community building Noon-12.30pm Pick and/or prepare meal with the family 12.30-1.30pm Siesta 1.30-5.30pm Finish any jobs from the morning... then Gardening, designing, planning, inventing, building interspersed with watching nature. 5.30pm-6.00pm Cleaning up, cleaning, feeding animals, preparing meal 6.00pm-7.30pm Eating with family and visitors, visiting, storytelling and sharing from the day, reporting on nature projects etc 7.30pm-9.30pm Personal development- learning skills, instruments together, astronomy, journalling, research, animal studies, nocturnal animal studies 9.30pm Gratitude, prayer, bedtime Meetings, Conventions and Worship would need to fit in above...plus travel etc. What is your dream schedule? If you want to use the times, or adjust them etc., below is for a copy and paste or quote: Sunup-7.30am 7.30-8.00am 8.00-12 noon Noon-12.30pm 12.30-4.30pm 4.30pm-6.00pm 6.00pm-7.30pm 7.30pm-9.30pm 9.30pm-10.30pm
  6. I get your point. My comment was more about how the word has been corrupted...and has nothing to do with the word fundamental. The article says "But they are not “fundamentalists,” as that term is generally understood"... But that was in 1974. An article 25 years later, the Watchtower stepped away from the definition and said: Religious fundamentalism is usually an attempt to preserve what is believed to be the original traditions or religious beliefs of a culture and to oppose what is perceived as the secular spirit of the world. That is not to say that fundamentalists oppose all that is modern. Some use modern communication very effectively to promote their point of view. But they fight against the secularization of society.* https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1997161?q=fundamentalist&p=par It is much more diplomatic, and dare I say, softer definition.
  7. So...what has a crusader (which possibly is a person who engages in Crusades?) got to do with the mutual self-congratulations of the film industry? A Crusade is each of a series of medieval military expeditions made by Europeans to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. So what's the connection? Ha ha banana? 🍌😂😁🍌
  8. Bwah. ha. ha. You will love the following video... HE he he. "I'm not obsessed you know...I'm just a fan and I care..." "I'm a fan but here's what I don't do..." "You can't bring your hobbies into work, ok?" Funny
  9. That's what I was trying to say mate...😁 Just because something is typed on a forum, doesn't make it law, belief or true. I'm just interested in discussion. I'm against very little, when it comes to choices, because, um, well, um,they'ree choices?? (upward Aussie Hairdresser Inflection)
  10. Fundamentally, we are fundamentalists. In the true sense of the word... 😁 fundamentalist noun a person who believes in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion. "religious fundamentalists" Sometimes, the strictness is elastic it's true. Really, the Bible is fundamental. Sometimes, I think we try to be liberal as Jehovah's people in our views to prove we're not fundamentalists... So as not to be confused with those that add a sense of arrogance, unreasonableness or violence to their beliefs. But like saying 'We are not trying to brainwash people"- And in one sense we aren't. But putting on the mind of Christ, we might be happy to be brainwashed? I want a clean brain. 😂
  11. I love them. And because I make an observation, doesn't make me anti-anything....not even bananas? HaHAha, BaNAna... 🍌🍌🍌🍌
