I just wanted to seek opinion on a matter and all the opinions have been insightful. Thanks everyone. I have a little more insight into why David expressed his awesome admiration for creation in Psalm 104:24,25. Thanks [emoji120] everyone. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

I think he said that along with people who loiter about. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

The opposite in fact Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

There's a WT article on that. 2 or more weeks back. Go read it. My personal take: Gal. 6:5. Would you allow someone to carry your load of looking for a mate yourself? Remember you both are unique. What A loves in a woman might be what you don't like until you have personal communication with her then you judge for yourself during courtship. You can ask others what they think about a sister or that sister... Recommend is pushing responsibility. Ask what they think about her not that others/they recommend. Carry your load. Just my 2 cents. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

Yeah. That's the problem. It's because the unique way humans were created. A loves playing football and goes to the world cup. B plays for a season but stopped because he ended in a wheelchair. Does that mean playing football is the best career or a career to avoid? That's the uniqueness of the human situation why Jehovah decides to give us principles. That's why we are careful not to give counsel where personal choices are involved but would love others to have foresight into a situation especially if one has been there before. It's a balancing act. How to do it? Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

Am not looking for counseling. That's the problem. I am trying to like help one appreciate the contrast between 2 actions. For example, if a father notices his son watching TV excessively and the father enjoys watching TV, if the father tells the son be careful of your TV watching what will the son do? Daddy you also watch TV. But what if the father knows the TV watching is becoming like a snare but because he watches TV the son would not realize it? That's the problem many authorities faced in regulating games, social media etc. It's like what an older experience person sees sitting down a young person might not climbing a tree but how to make one aware of it without it being a counsel. Just like a friendly word between friends. Or a humorous anecdote. That's what beats me. It's like walking a fine between not counseling one but making one aware of something. Okay a nice line I can remember: If you live in a glass house don't throw stones. It's not counseling anyone but someone living in a glass house if he picks up stones and remember that refrain would drop the stones or change location. It's the closest I can get in my head.

No. Lives alone and far from parents. Second generation immigrants. Going towards 30ish I believe. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

There's this beautiful young sister in my congregation that's into tiktok, frequent postings and all that. Am looking for a video or article that can help a young person to ask: where will my beauty be 20 years from now? Am I going for lasting beauty or the temporary fading one? Something that doesn't make a young lively lady think of, there's straw in your eye why disturb me about the rafter in my eyes? You know that sort of carefully young reframing. Thanks [emoji120] Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

When a HH starts saying disparaging things on a call it's either 1. They heard it from others and just want to repeat it. Ignorance Or 2. Out to disrupt your ministry. Could be an apostate or not. That's where discernment is crucial. Use careful questions to discern which of these above the HH falls into. I discovered that if the second group they're not reasonable and won't give you a chance for a useful communication. So there's no use continuing a fruitless conversation. Our goal is reaching out for the rightfully disposed for everlasting life not everyone Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

That's why many are drawn to Jehovah. No other god does this. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk That's why many are drawn to Jehovah. No other god does this. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

It works on my Android. Thank Jehovah for the upgrade. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

I don't think the environment or environmental cues that makes those reactions exist will be existing or functional. The environment and system of things will belong to Jehovah's way and not humans influenced by Satan and his world. It's like if you're born in a land where water is scarce or non-existent, like in the desert regions, you don't seek water but make do with others are doing. And the others in the new world will be influenced by Jesus and the 144k. That, I think, is the difference.

Oh. Lovely. Let me update and give it a shot [emoji382] Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

Reading your comment about being dust made me recall a verse in Isaiah that says: do not despise the day of small beginnings. Everything starts small. A child starts as fertilized eggs. The earth started with Jehovah's spirit roving back and forth. Every business starts with an idea. A spark in the brain. So do not despise the day of small beginnings. Rather cultivate the mindset of being open to make it grow and willingness to ask and receive help and guidance. A little conversation with a fellow elder helped me in my recent health crisis. If I had not followed through I would have considered myself chronically ill. A little verse, a comment at the meeting, a smile could be the lever that would lift up that dust and give it life. Be open to that possibility because Jehovah works with style. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
