  1. Past hour
  2. Nice to know that Jehovah doesn't penalize you or him for not being able to follow through thoroughly in this case. No doubt, after this co worker is resurrected, you will be able to do what you could not in this system and teach that co worker the truth about your loving, wonderful God! I feel the same as you. Every talk, every Watchtower study reminds me I'm not good enough to survive Armageddon, and if I don't I am glad to of had the time I had serving Jehovah on this side of the new world. There are those in my congregation that have treated Jehovah's sheep terribly and then run away to another congregation (they are now back in my congregation again). Because of how serious and long and entangled the whole mess was, it seemed there was no justice but we did get relief when they left. Now that they are back, there is no accountability, no apologies. Just a pretense that they did nothing to no one. I trust in Jehovah (who saw and heard all their schemes) to provide justice and in the meantime, most of us in this congregation allow them their illusion of having done absolutely nothing wrong. We let them live their lie because if we didn't Satan could cause a lot more division and trouble in our congregation than he already has, so they are in Jehovah's hands. A very wise person once told me "you will be surprised who makes it (perhaps that will be those of us who aren't as confident!) and "surprised who doesn't" (those who think their sins are still concealed or forgotten by Jehovah). But I do feel, it won't be until after Armageddon that we won't realize how merciful (and perhaps, Just) Jehovah truly is.

  4. I wish "soon" to Jehovah was the same as "soon" for us (sigh).
  5. Today
  6. Ebullience, according to their commercials, is one of the results of drinking Red Bull.
  7. "Be or not to be" is often quasi-quoted in a variety of situations and circumstances.
  8. We did a chilli cook off a couple of times. One time we had live piano music. We had a living Bible wax museum once. Kids from the congregations dressed as Bible characters and told a brief story about their character or event depicted. We did a Noah and the flood drama once, complete with a scroll thst looked like an Awake magazine. Again, kids played most of the roles. I was a Nephilim. Recorded music and dancing is common. So are cards for euchre or other games. Corn hole, occasionally horseshoes. I was at a 50th wedding anniversary last week that included a Hawaiian luau. The fire dancing had to be canceled due to the weather.
  9. Title is: Maintain Your Joy in Old Age I don't feel concerned by this sentence
  10. The Governing Body always have a sense of urgency.. We'll never know what our life looks like tomorrow... I preached to a kind co worker before... i was new in the truth. After a year, he had an accident and died. .. I should have been so focused in preaching to him but I was distracted from different things
  11. The November 2025 Watchtower Study Edition, Page 4, Paragraph 7 stated: “Perhaps you are saddened by the possibility that the end of this system will not come in your lifetime. If you feel that way, what can help?” Be observant, keep on the watch, but don’t become obsessed over it. We may be in this wait longer than we thought. (Isa. 30:18; Matt. 25:13; Acts 1:7)
  12. We will start the courage book soon. And Iran has restarted.. It will surely affect the global economy.

  15. Anyone found a way to follow posts without making an ig/tt account? (and without paying for some service)
  16. Hello sister, Thanks for the feedback. I’m aware of the issue with the image search and will send a patch sometime in the future. As a temporary fix, simply refreshing the image search webpage again should resolve the problem. The website has been undergoing several upgrades over the past few months and will continue until November this year.
  17. Boring is from the verb for drilling a hole; ss an adjective it means tedious.
  18. Our guest speaker from last week RC was Bro. Lett. He mentioned that the Acts of the Apostles is in progress.
  19. CRAFT Children really are friendly, though. FIEND
  20. Thinking should be more influential than feeling.
  21. Have you ever changed the oil in your vehicle? With that idea in mind and a little tongue-in-cheek I came up with this song:

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.
       
      If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?

      Something I’m glad we haven’t seen in the Watchtower for a long time: “(Brother Faithful finished his earthly course while this article was being prepared.)” 😢
