  1. Past hour

  3. I’ve seen several posts on Bluesky that say this is an attempt to bring about armageddon or ‘the second coming of Jesus’ by supporting Israel. Then you go to jw.org and the truth is plastered across the front page. The contrast is stark.
  4. If this warfare doesn't shake-up the UN, I don't know what will. We may see Rev 17:17 fulfilled by summer. Will this Memorial be the last?
  5. Today
  6. Some experts say that WW3 has begun. Scary time but we Christians lift our heads because our deliverance is getting near.
  7. I loved Ekrann's part. ❤️❤️❤️ Thoughts can be likened to rooms in a house. When I'm in a room in the house, I don't have to stay there. I can go to another room. Jehovah's room is just down the hall. And he can come to whatever room I am in, and help me go to another room. (For instance from sorrow-room to resurrection-room) We get a better grip on our emotions when we get a grip on what we think. And change what we think. (I am interested in the subject of neuroplasticity) I would add something: Our emotional energy can increase with some activity, and is easier drained on other activity. Recognize when, and learn. I will not LET my heart be troubled. Ties in perfectly with Lett's reminder of how to obtain and maintain/keep(? sorry if my English doesn't hit the mark here) holy spirit: By prayer, by activity (ie. read the Bible, meetings etc) and not grieving God's holy spirit. Our imperfection stops us from having full control over our minds. How I LONG for that to change
  8. I just ordered heating oil the last time we paid 94 a litre and lunchtime today it was 1.34 and expected to keep rising I think we will be using it very sparingly! They have also effectively closed the Straits of Hormuz as Iran has said that they will set fire to any tanker trying to go through…. So now insurance companies will remove any shipping insurance on tankers trying to pass through Just more of those critical times that come in many different forms!
  9. I Am Home, Jehovah. [Verse 1]: In the quiet of morning light, he stands, Buttoning his coat with careful hands, A Bible and his bag by his side, Like a lantern for the path outside. He smooths his tie, he bows his head, Soft words of gratitude are said, For soon his steps will gently roam, Toward the House he calls his home. [Pre-Chorus 1]: With every breath, his spirit sings, Of sacred places and faithful ways, He exalts his heart in love and prayer, For Jehovah’s love beyond compare. [Chorus]: I’m going to the House of Jehovah, Where my weary heart finds rest, Where voices rise like strong rivers, From the east unto the west. Among my brothers and my sisters, Love is more than words we say— In the House of Jehovah, I find my way, Night is turned to living day. [Verse 2]: He steps into the restless street, Where hurried crowds and headlines meet, Fragments of anger fill the air, Arguments echo everywhere. Fear rides on the breaking news, Confusion paints the world in sorrows, Yet deep within his heart he knows, A place where living peace still flows. [Pre-Chorus 2]: Though storms may gather, dark and wild, He walks secure, his Father’s child; He knows within those sheltered walls, His Father’s voice of love still calls. [Chorus]: I’m going to the House of Jehovah, Where my anxious thoughts grow calm, Where peace within restores the heart, And all its anxious fears depart. Among my brothers and my sisters, Hope is stronger than the fray— In the House of my dear Jehovah, Shadows cannot make me sway. [Verse 3]: At last the simple doors appear, So familiar, bright, and near; He feels his burdens slowly cease, As if embraced by promised peace. The doors swing wide—warm hands extend, A gentle smile from every friend, Soft embraces, eyes that shine, Reflections of a love divine. [Pre-Chorus 3]: In every face, a sacred flame, Each heart uplifted in God’s name; A thousand quiet joys unfold, More precious far than finest gold. [Chorus]: I’m going to the House of Jehovah, Where my spirit learns to soar, Where faith is grown with faithful friends, And love is opened door to door. Among my brothers and my sisters, Grace is stronger than the pain— In the House of my dear Jehovah, I find my peace and life again. [Bridge]: O world that trembles in the night, You chase the wind, you fear the fight; But here beneath these humble beams, Are answered prayers and faithful dreams. No crown of pride, no throne of might— Just hearts made brave by sacred light; And in this fellowship so mild, The weary soul is reconciled. [Final Chorus]: Now I’m home in the House of Jehovah, Where my heart was meant to be, Through every trial, every sorrow, I have never walked without Thee. With my brothers and my sisters, Rising as one family— In the House of my friend Jehovah, In Your love eternally. [Outro]: And as his voice with theirs ascends above, He whispers with a cry of love: “I am home, Jehovah— I am home.” I Am Home, Jehovah.mp3
  10. The World is becoming even more dangerous Meanwhile maybe Libanon will be free from Hezbollah now that Iran s back up was cut
  11. I sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:

     

    The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.

     

    Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.

     

    This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.

     

    In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

  12. I found a video of a physician brother discussing techniques to minimize blood transfusions on patients during a medical congress

     

     

    I know he is a brother because he gives the memorial talk on stream.jw.org

  13. My stations are 4.99 - 5.69. My Shell for mid-grade is 5.19 cash and 5.29 debit/cc. Arco/Mobil is 4.99 so I try to get a little better at Shell or Chevron.

  15. The Teaching Committee are responsible for Original songs produced by the music team in Audio/Video Services… https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/502500215?q=new+songs&p=par The music team then makes assignments for the composing of the music and the writing of the lyrics.
  16. I’m better store up on more chocolate. Times are getting tough. I can feel it.
  17. I know the broadcast is recorded ahead of time. How far ahead I can't guess. But, the broadcast includes talks that go back. So, I wonder if they made a last minute decision to drop Br. Lett's talk into this broadcast, in view of world events. In his talk about persecution, Br Lett looks closely at his paper several times, as if to focus. And at the annual meeting he wore glasses. In my mind, the talk in the broadcast happened before the annual meeting, before a prescription for glasses. I had the feeling they were preparing us. After the prison segment, Br Ekrann said at 53:35 "Did you learn something from this episode that will fortify you in the days or weeks to come" ? I'm probably reading more into it than was intended.
  18. here in california the state taxes so much its 530 or so in town where i live. they taxed gasoline 25 cents because we could afford it and gas was to low under trumps first term. not even kidding.
  19. I liked that part on the history of Circuit Overseers. I wonder if it's a coincidence that we have the Organizational Accomplishments video about Circuit Overseers. (?)

    • 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.”

      Our congregation is finally moving to NW Scheduler from KHS. I'm having trouble exporting publisher reports from KHS to NW Scheduler. I get log error "cannot import record. Missing Date"
      I tried changing date format to year/month/day as it is in KHS. Same thing.
      I will have to enter data manually, but if there's anyone out there that has found a fix it would be hugely appreciated.
