  1. Past hour
  2. John Simpson: 'I've reported on 40 wars but I've never seen a year like 2025' His (fairly long) article/opinion: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4qp17e1lqo
  3. By the way, I totally understand why we don't have the "Condordance" in our library on the app, because we changed a lot of the wording with the 2013 revision of the New World Translation, but I still wish they would provide it because a lot of us remember the old wording and can still use it to find useful scriptures. Now, with that being said - if the Concordance is on the app I haven't found it yet and if someone has - PLEASE feel free to point me in the right direction.
  4. Something my JWLibrary app has been doing for a while (and through several updates) is whenever I open the Insight book and type something in the search bar, it crashes the whole app. But if I reopen the app and try it again, it will work the second time and everytime thereafter.
  5. Today
  6. I was just hoping someone would say he didn't account for accidents, violence, wrong place & wrong time, and environmental factors to name a few assuming this system lasts until 2039. - Eccl 9:11 Ultimately he's trying to maximize his life span. Which is very doable even in a "blue zone". But we all succumb to death.
  7. La Nina is ending, the warm waters in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean is heading easterly.
  8. US president attacks UN for 'very little assistance,' claiming America has become 'real United Nations' (in relation to Thailand- Cambodia conflict) He then attacked the UN, claiming Washington has effectively replaced the global body. "With all of the wars and conflicts I have settled and stopped ... perhaps the United States has become the real United Nations, which has been of very little assistance or help in any of them," Trump said. He added that the organization "must start getting active and involved in world peace." https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/trump-says-thailand-cambodia-to-go-back-to-living-in-peace-after-ceasefire/3783263
  9. marriage is the freedom to love someone. But a ball and chain if its the wrong person and they aren't loving; they just use.
    This is wanderful i like it thanks for this platform Brothers and Sisters.. Am likely to join zoom..to get to know you more frinds. but what is the time here in uganda right now is 06:39am..
  10. Just an opinion. In extremely simplified reasoning, couldn't we think that if Jehovah grants them immortality, it is simply because he knows that the resurrected anointed ones will never sin again, despite their still active free will? There seems to be a point of no return in evil, so it's easy to imagine that the same is true in good. By always choosing the good as defined by Jehovah, we inevitably end up becoming good people. I believe that habit ultimately shapes our personality in the realm of choice. Jehovah knows what he is doing. If he gives this magnificent gift, it means that He is sure of himself and sure of his creatures. By granting them immortality, Jehovah gives them a guarantee: they will never choose evil again; it will become unnatural for them.
  11. Well put @On the huh. While it would be nice to be able to delete the virtual Windows machine that runs NWS for me, I'm sure it will still be around for a while until mobile matures. But even just having some of the functionality on mobile will be a huge leap forward. Like perhaps the OCLM Overseer being able to update the names on the schedule when substations are needed would be a nice initial feature for mobile.
  12. The hope Jehovah gives us is not the kind that fades when life gets hard. It can't collapse under pressure. It holds—quietly, firmly—because it is built on His promises, not on circumstances — Rom. 5:5; Num. 23:19 When we dedicated our lives to Jehovah, our hope began to sharpen. At first, it may have felt distant, like something we understood more with our mind than our heart. Over time, that changed. Experiences tested us. Disappointments came. But instead of weakening our hope, those moments often did the opposite. We endured. We saw Jehovah’s help. And little by little, confidence replaced uncertainty — Rom. 5:3, 4; Heb. 6:11 The Bible says that this hope does not lead to disappointment. It isn’t wishful thinking. It is reinforced by endurance, strengthened by Jehovah’s approval, and made personal through experience. Hope starts as a promise we believe. It becomes something we rely on — Rom. 5:5; Heb. 10:23 This kind of hope reaches into everyday life. It shapes how we treat our family, how we respond under stress, and how we make decisions when no one else is watching. It reminds us that what Jehovah has promised is real, and that He intends to fulfill it — 1 John 3:3; Rom. 15:13 Jehovah does not give false hope. What He inspires us to hope for, He intends to deliver — Heb. 10:23
  13. Yesterday
  14. Monday, December 29 The hope does not lead to disappointment.—Rom. 5:5. After your dedication and baptism, your hope of living forever on a paradise earth continued to grow as you learned more and matured spiritually. (Heb. 5:13–6:1) You have likely experienced what is mentioned at Romans 5:2-4. You had various tribulations, but you endured them and sensed God’s approval. Confident of God’s favor, you now have even greater reason to expect to receive the things he has promised. Your hope has become stronger than what you had initially. It is more real to you, more personal. It affects you more intensely, influencing every aspect of your life and changing how you treat your family, how you make decisions, and even how you use your time. The apostle Paul adds a very important point regarding the hope that you possess after receiving God’s approval. He assures you that your hope will be fulfilled.—Rom. 15:13. w23.1212-13 ¶16-19
  15. Today, I am grateful for Zoom ❤️ The physical meeting was cancelled, but the meeting on Zoom was lovely. And I am grateful for mulled wine. I made myself a glass. Heated the red wine in the microwave. Put 1 clove nail in, a little orange peel, honey, ginger (should have taken it out after less than 30 sec, was maybe 45) and sprinkled cinnamon on top. After a while, I removed the clove nail. I forgot to add raisins and almonds. I'll have some almonds now. And be thankful for that What many gifts we can praise Jehovah for ❤️
  16. I haven't found a way to download them all at once or the videos as audio only unfortunately.
  17. One day you will!! Jehovah didn’t create us to be alone. Adam must’ve waited for awhile before Jehovah gifted him with Eve. Just as Adam stayed busy in the work Jehovah assigned him us single folk must do the same. One day even if in the new system that special person will be at our side. When that day happens for me I’m inviting everyone here to my wedding 💍😍
  18. He was from Chicago Bears around 1970. I remember watching that back when it came on TV. My grandmother thought I was asleep. I was 4 years old. I remember the music. Apple Music -- >> https://music.apple.com/us/album/brians-song-theme-from-brians-song/1833083182?i=1833083195
  19. In my Android phone it updated automatically. But in my Android tablet and in my Windows laptop, I had to update the app from the store.

    • 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.”
