  1. Past hour
  2. Today was a lovely text, considering recent events. We need to remember that Jehovah is in control, not focus on the imperfections of any brothers who gave direction, and remember that in due time, if anything needs to be corrected, Jehovah will take care of it.

  3. TOI, C’EST TOI, MOI, C’EST MOI. (Romains 12:10) [Couplet 1] : Tu sautes, je cours : pas pareil ! Toi, la lune ; moi, le soleil ! Oiseaux dans l’air, poissons dans la mer ; Les p’tites bêtes rampent sur terre. Certains amis sont des souris ; D’autres font « GRAOUH ! » : la maison frémit ! Jéhovah les a tous faits différents, Et c’est vraiment amusant ! [Refrain] : Tape des mains, viens tourner. Lève les bras, viens te baisser ! Toi, c’est toi, moi, c’est moi, Et c’est bien comme ça, tu vois ! Main dans la main, chantons toujours : « L’amour rapproche, chaque jour ! » [Couplet 2] : Tu fais les choses à ta façon, Moi, à la mienne, et c’est bon ! Toi, l’escargot, tout lent ; Moi, lapin, vite comme le vent ! Je vois toujours du bien chez toi, Et toi, tu en vois chez moi ! Pas besoin d’être pareils Pour rire et jouer sous le soleil ! [Refrain] : Tape des mains, tape des pieds. Amis différents, bonne idée ! Toi, c’est toi, moi, c’est moi. Côte à côte, avec joie ! Main dans la main, chantons toujours : « L’amour rapproche, chaque jour ! » [Pont] : Chacun sa voix, sa façon, Chacun ses jeux, sa chanson. Si je choisis de comprendre, Je te donne la main sans attendre ! Ma façon n’est pas la seule bonne ; Je vois du bon chez chaque personne. Jéhovah a fait la Terre ronde, De la place pour tout le monde ! [Refrain final] : Tape des mains, viens tourner. Des amis heureux, tous rassemblés ! Toi, c’est toi, moi, c’est moi. Trésors différents, pleins de joie ! Lents ou vifs, calmes ou bruyants, Grande famille, tous contents ! Main dans la main, joyeux, chantons ça : « L’amour nous rapproche de Jéhovah ! » Toi, c’est toi, moi, c’est moi. Jéhovah nous aime, toi et moi ! TOI, C’EST TOI, MOI, C’EST MOI.mp3
  4. YOU ARE YOU, I AM ME. (Romans 12:10) [Verse 1]: You like to hop; I like to run. You like the moon; I like the sun. Some birds fly high; some fish swim deep. Some little bugs just crawl and creep. Some friends are quiet as a mouse, And some go “ROAR!” and shake the house! Jehovah made them all, one by one, And different is a lot of fun! [Chorus]: Clap your hands and turn around. Reach up high, then touch the ground! You are you, and I am me, Just the way we’re meant to be. Hand in hand, we sing and say: “Love can bring us close each day!” [Verse 2]: You may do things a different way, But that’s okay, my friend, okay! You’re a turtle, nice and slow; I’m a bunny, fast—go, go, go! I’ll look for good in all you do, And you will find good in me, too! We don’t have to be the same To laugh and play and share a game! [Chorus]: Clap your hands and stomp your feet. Different friends are fun to meet! You are you, and I am me. Side by side we’ll always be! Hand in hand, we sing and say: “Love can bring us close each day!” [Bridge]: Different voices, different ways, Different games we like to play. But when I choose to understand, I can reach out and hold your hand. I won’t say, “My way must be right.” I’ll look for good with all my might. Jehovah made a world so wide, With room for everyone inside! [Final Chorus]: Clap your hands and turn around. Happy friends, what a happy sound! You are you, and I am me. Different treasures, glad and free! Slow or fast, quiet or loud, We’re one big family and proud! Hand in hand, we laugh and say: “Love brings us close Jehovah’s way!” You are you, and I am me. Jehovah loves you, loves me! YOU ARE YOU, I AM ME.mp3
  5. Today
  6. Maybe it's a bug in the Brazilian Portuguese version. It also shows up duplicated here.
  7. We have taken two helicopter tours, one was to a glacier while we were on an Alaskan cruise, the other was a tour of the Big Island of Hawaii and we flew over an active volcano. We have backpacked and stayed at the Havasupi Reservation in the Grand Canyon but we haven't taken a helicopter tour of the GC.
  8. Lol, so does my husband John. He doesn't fly. When we had conventions at the stadium if we had to climb to get to seats on the very top, he got dizzy. He would call it the nose bleed section.
  9. According to our list posted on the front page of this website, how many "guests" (meaning non-member public) do you see? That is as of this moment. Who's Online 52 Members, 0 Anonymous, 1,919 Guests
  10. It depends on where I go. When my daughter and I went to NY, we did visit Wallkill, but we also visited NYC. We went to Central Park and Times Square. While in NYC we went to the Macy's Herald Square. It has sone of the few remaining wooden escalators in the world. If I get to go to Chicago, I want to go to Waukegan to see the house I live in back in the 1950's. I hope to visit some various places and brothers with an extended train trip. The train trip is part of the idea, and I will see an array of various landscapes during the trip. The whole trip may take a month. When I was younger and single, I took a few trips with other single brothers, and we visited some of the places like The Grand Canyon, but we also visited congregations to see KH's in other places. (No helicopter ride at the GC - I can't take heights) Since I don't fly, I either travel by road or train.
  11. Might be a bug on your end. Just checked my app and it looked fine 🤔
  12. We don’t but there are parts of this forum that are visible to the public (encouragement for the brotherhood) eg others are private for members only (Our meetings our ministry…) eg
  13. Here in Warwick there is much to do. In view of the dangers that now exist, my husband and I would rather stay local. In the summer we like to go to the creamery which is icecream done on premises overlooking the valley. Very beautiful scenery. We have a drive-in movie. The only one in New York. We live in a village and we are surrounded by farms, animals etc. We have lots of quaint stores and when we do carts almost always witnesses from other parts of the world stop by to talk to us. They come to see HQs, Patterson and Wallkill. Ah, we have wineries, lots of wineries. Our congregation divided 5x so they made a new congregation and called it Orchard Valley. (wineries) We now attend that congregation and we are once again expanding. So....for us there is no reason to go out of our comfort zone. We visit HQs every now and then and take some bible students that want to know more about us. We also have lakes, so we Kayak. This brother lives on the lake and when we go there we barbecue and go kayaking. There is so much to do so......again.....we don't travel much anywhere. I am hoping maybe fly out to California to visit my youngest daughter. We'll see.
  14. some of us may have the privilege to enjoy to travel in the future! By now, we love to see photos from others and dream about the places. Thanks for share the photos.
  15. I think what I like the most when I'm abroad is just walking in the street and seeing people, shops, buildings... Noticing how different things are from what I'm used to. I like walking tours and museums and cultural activities, but also visiting supermarkets. It's surprising how different products can be when you are in another country or region. I like to go hiking in nature but only for easy treks. My wife loves animals, so when we travel somewhere we try to include some visit to a zoo, a farm, or anywhere we can see animals. We also like trying different foods. Something I personally love (my wife not so much) is going to the movies at the end of the day. At some really special places we have taken helicopter flights. So far we have done that at the Grand Canyon and also at a glacier and at Milford Sound in New Zealand. It's not cheap but it creates life-long memories. When we where younger we would organize long trips where we would drive many hours every day and spend every night at a different location in order to visit as many spots as possible. Then we needed a vacation after the vacation. Now as we get older we appreciate more staying in one or two places, not driving so much and enjoying the things that are close by.
  16. Hi there I just published https://bibleguessr.uk/ It's my first game ever. I use it for my bible reading to quiz myself. But everyone can use it. It's also 100% opensource, so if you feel inspired you can create your own version Do try the Social => Daily and share your result (If it works 😅)
  17. My JW Library app updated with one duplicate article. Whenever there's an update in the "Other Topics" series, the new article appears first on the list, at the top. This time, the article that appeared had already appeared before, further down. Is it also duplicated in your app? Could it be an error in my phone's app or an error by the brothers in the department that handles updates?
  18. Today is October 1, and as usual, the Broadcasting is expected to be released on the first Monday of the month. Of course, the Annual Meeting will be the main highlight this month. But it makes you wonder: what can we expect from the October Broadcasting? Could there be some exciting news or perhaps a surprise?
  19. Yes, you usually need to close it down & reopen for it to appear. It doesn't sync continually, so the last data will stay until it syncs on a fresh start
  20. Nino 3.4 now at +3.2C above average and still tons of heat to come up still (see graph). They had to add again to the Y-axis to +15C, due to the ocean getting hotter at levels we’ve never seen. This heat has to come up to the surface before this is all over. What a rough year its going to be.

    • 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.”

      WHIPLASH! Yesterday my ENT said my sinuses were healing fast and looked good.
       
      Today I rushed to the ER because apparently the scabs fell off and I started bleeding profusely. So much so I was genuinely scared and called 911.
       
      Took an hour or so to get it to stop. Probably lost half a pint of blood. But now I'm home and will stay up for an hour to make sure it settles down good enough to endure any snoring that might happen when I go to sleep...

      Had a conversation with a coworker the other day, it started off talking about flat earth. I told them that flat earthers are weird but im aware that SOME of them get their reasoning from scriptures in the bible (i dont remember which ones) my friend said she respects the thinking and God but ‘the bible was written by man’ i told her if i told someone to write her a check, is that check null and void because someone else wrote the check and not myself? She said that was an understandable argument. She also had a friend that was a JW at one point (i told her that i was one after she mentioned she was a flat earther), shes not close to the friend anymore because she was too judgmental and harsh. 
       
      I also have a coworker that is an ex witness (not aggressive about it or an apostate) i’m wondering if Jehovah put me at this company for a reason. I know i have to do my best to be a good witness.

      Hi, my brothers, this is my second time here, looking forward to meeting special people who love Jehovah as I do.  I send my love to all of you from Puerto Rico, USA.  I want to comment that we must be very grateful to our God, Jehovah, because, as Jesus said, we have the privilege to hear and see what the people of the world can't.

      Having sinus surgery tomorrow! 
       
      It's the new RhinAer procedure.  They just numb things for the procedure...and hope it's not too painful even with the numbing agent.  Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.  Pray for me that it is as smooth & painless as it can be.
