  1. Past hour
  2. Although rare, there are documented cases of snake owners being crushed by their large pet constrictors.
  3. OK - to have a full day, since I already did a song for Sunrise, Sunset and nighttime (Full Moon) if filled out the cycle with daytime Noon
  4. Marilyn Monroe, (Norma Jean Mortensen), was born 100 years ago this week. I happen to share one (at least one) reported statistic with her. My mother said she shared ankle size with Marilyn.
  5. JAMA has reported that infant circumcisions had dropped dramatically in the USA. Pediatricians have entered a variety of conclusions on this. As a mother of all boys only, I will withhold my own decisions.
  6. You can own a snake without keeping a supply of mice. Excellent alternatives include Garter snakes (eat fish and worms), African egg-eating snakes (eat bird eggs), and Rough green snakes (eat insects). .
  7. Northern snakehead fish are invasive, air-breathing predatory fish that can survive out of water for up to four days and migrate across land to new waterways. They move by wriggling their bodies and fins in a snakewide motion. Because they threaten local ecosystems, New York law mandates that any caught snakehead must be killed immediately.
  8. Ivanka Trump 'swam' to a 1,400-Hectare Mediterranean island. Now she and Jared Kushner are building a $1.5 billion resort there - The Economic Times This article said it was going to be a resort, not a home. Most small islands don't have a "grid". They do all have a lot in common - how to make even more money, but that is what real-estate developers doo, eh.
  9. Today
  10. Yes! I imagined that flooding (pun intended!) newsfeeds on social media during GT will be one of many ways to make known Jehovah’s name at that time. (I’m also improving sound system in my car to be ready to go through town as a sound car 😆)
  11. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “The Greek Liturgy asserts that Herod killed 14,000 boys (ton hagion id chiliadon Nepion), the Syrians speak of 64,000, [and] many medieval authors of 144,000.” However, this number of children is greater than the entire population of Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth. Professor William F. Albright “estimates that the population of Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth to be about 300 people. The number of male children, two years old or younger, would be about six or seven.” Other scholars claim the number was between 10 – 20 male children in Bethlehem and the surrounding area.
  12. In keeping with the thread: never have I ever eaten a full English breakfast.
  13. Basically, it just needs to be imported (processed) into the software by your congregation admin. Once it is imported it will show in the list under 'Away' on your ME screen.
  14. Both, however, it is real people who set up the bots
  15. I did respond since writing about them. I do follow a couple of persons. Thanks,YS
  16. Apologies if this has already been asked. Away periods now need to be processed. What does this mean in reality? As publishers we are not seeing them as such. They just vanish.
  17. Ivanka Trump Plans an Off-the-Grid Island Retreat for Herself and Jared Located in the Mediterranean, the island covers about 1,400 hectares and currently has no electricity. “The architecture must be fully integrated with the natural environment.” Is this an apocalypse bunker in the making? Meanwhile, Trump reportedly wants the new White House ballroom to include a massive bunker underneath. Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Palantir Technologies, has reportedly moved abroad to Argentina, and now Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are establishing themselves outside the United States as well? Coincidence, or do they see something coming?
  18. We actually surpassed a quarter of a million followers. I hope we hit 1 million in the next several months. Instagram is good but TikTok is a kind of a hurdle. There’s too many fake accounts.
  19. Yes, I have often wondered how that terrible story must have affected Jesus emotionally when he heard about it. It surely reminded him of the time when Moses had escaped a massacre of a similar nature. As Richard @Tortuga pointed out, he must have thought about the moment when he would raise them and their parents from the dead. That is no small consolation.
  20. Imagine what a happy day it will be when all of those children are resurrected and reunited with their families. The cry heard through out the land will be cries of joy.
  21. If our brothers in the GB who pray for holy spirit before these decisions are made thinks this may be a direction to go in; than a positive spirit is what we need to have about it. I hope it succeeds in whatever the brothers want it to succeed in. If it doesn't than it doesn't. We will see so many changes as the end gets closer. We can ask why, and the GB has always explained their thoughts on changes that are made. My husband reminds me often how some thought having a VCR was "evil". Look at where we are now and how Jehovah has used technology. We will see where this goes.
  22. I hope this pilot program is successful and they start sharing magazines and articles next.
  23. Just a reminder that this pilot program is intended for government officials, reporters, and researchers, not as a supplement to preaching. Also, the comments section was turned off and may stay that way permanently, so it's not about having discussions with people - just posting links to the news section of our website. Posting the exact same articles from the website onto social media does not make the information "unsteady". The official channels have verified blue checkmarks so people know which one is real. We can do far more by praying for a beneficial outcome than we can by hoping it fails.
  24. Since Ramah is a small town 5 miles north of Jerusalem, then how many babies died in that area by Herod? Mathew 2:16-18 and Jeremiah 31:15 I might add that the Bethlehem (in which is 6 miles south of Jerusalem) and its districts were effected too. Thanks.

    • 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.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.
