Different countries have different issues to deal with. I suspect that where Jenny lives, the Philippines I believe, things are very different to the so called developed countries.

I'm in Australia and it worked fine for me. Do you maybe have an adblocker that won't let you access it, Eric? @Sheep

You are absolutely right. It is not about us or how many bible studies we have. It is about working with Jehovah to teach his sheep about him and his Kingdom. If there is better communication and understanding due to similar age, or even similar background, then I agree, let someone else teach them. We're all going to have plenty of Bible studies in the new world. ☺️

Iran-backed Houthis join war with attack against Israel The entry of the powerful Iranian proxy into the conflict raises fears of further disruption to the world economy as the armed group has capacity to attack shipping in the Red Sea. I wonder how Trump feels about the can of worms he has opened as this mess expands. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6l5n8jv4yo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyvd5z1xjno

There is no emoji suitable and no words to explain how all these injustices make me feel.

It is very easy to make these sorts of things. You can buy most of the hardware - badges, keyrings, etc. - from places like eBay, Temu, Shein, Amazon etc. The pictures can be designed on your PC at home using either a desktop program like Word or an online one like Avery or Canva and printed out on cardstock.

One of my favourite resources on this subject is the SI Book. Study Number 2—Time and the Holy Scriptures Describing time divisions used in the Bible, the calendars in common use, pivotal dates for the Bible, and interesting points with regard to “the stream of time.” Study Number 3—Measuring Events in the Stream of Time The counting of time in Bible days and a discussion of the chronology of outstanding events of both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.

This seems to be coming up more and more. I had never heard of it till recently but I am in a couple of groups for RB cats and it appears that some of these suffer from a problem that requires a blood transfusion and it seems that some have a rare blood type - and I'm sure it's not just RB's. Slightly OT but related - I do feel that pedigree cats (and dogs) are being born with weaker immune systems along with other issues - I won't ramble on about interbreeding or constantly expecting an animal to produce year after year!!! It seems to be less of a problem with mixed breeds or your general moggy. (I also won't get on my soapbox about sterilisation either!! 🤐) I wonder how people would react if I suggested that they use a blood alternative for their pet. (semi joke)

I came here to look for ideas but saw the question. I make ribbon bookmarks; round magnets using glass cabochons with a scripture on them; keyrings; and I also have an assortment of pens and pencils. None of these things are large but all can be useful. The bag dangle/keyring in the pic was a specific request for a friend who loves Paris. The split ring can be removed so it can be used as both. Most keyrings I make slightly differently to this one, but you get the idea.

You would be surprised how many have bonds and investments in the UK and who supplement their incomes/pensions with dividends. They just don't talk as much about these things as the Americans do. Over here, 401k is called superannuation - employers have to pay a percentage of your income into a company which then invests in the stockmarket or in bonds. After 40/50 years of employment the government hopes there will be enough invested and earned for you to not need a government pension or at least a reduced one.

And then there's the meteoric rise in precious metals over the last few weeks and is predicted to keep rising for quite some time. What is driving it? Fear!! People know that this world is falling apart and are looking to protect themselves. The problem we have is that when we try to tell them how they can do that, they are 'sorry, not interested'.

Great witness about the Special Convention in NZ. NZ Special Convention.mp4

Just another of Satan's ploys to distract the world and keep their eyes and hearts veiled from the real life. Even in perfection, humans will never be immortal.

That middle video gave me goosebumps. What an amazing time it will be!!
