    As far as generation is concerned, the 'anointed' didn't die. They were transferred to Heaven in a twinkle of an eye. They are still alive and part of the generation.

    No. I got this from a French brother whom I have known for over 20 years. (His email was in French, naturally.) The things he sends me are always well researched and vetted on his end. His original email says, "Les Témoins de Jéhovah ont mis en ligne un nouveau site web", which I would translate literally as "Jehovah's Witnesses have launched a new website". I translated it the way I did because I'm not personally certain it is run by the Canada Bethel. I will check with him to see, and let you know.

    That's the right thing to do, to be a future proper husband/wife. Fully immersed in the ministry, pioneering, LDC, then you'll find the pearl, Jehovah will provide in due time, when you don't expect it

  11. lmcnultyn
    I am a 37-year-old brother who has been baptised for about 10 years, and I'm in the same boat as you. I have never gotten any attention or interest from sisters, and the few relationships I have had with sisters have not gone well. In fact, I have been lonely for the most part, as I have very few friends in the organisation. I have had mostly negative experiences with the "brothers" and sisters" throughout my time in the organisation, as I have been judged, mistreated, looked down upon, disrespected, and basically treated like an outcast. I wish I had positive experiences being a JW, but unfortunately, there have been very few, but I guess that's a topic for another day that I would like to discuss in the future! I am currently trying to work on myself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, and I am also maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

    I do wish the same. I want to walk through this system into the new world. I wish that for my parents and my friends whose parents are older. But I know I'm not special. I have friends that have had to deal with loss and friends I have loss. I pray that whatever happens i stand firm and not let any challenge cause me to lose my balance.

    I never really thought about it this way before — that these are continuing sacrifices. We just sort of accepted that this is what he’s doing, without stopping to think that he’s still giving of himself to do it. He’s still expending effort. And honestly, if we had stayed perfect — if Adam and Eve hadn’t blown it for us — he wouldn’t have to be doing any of this in the first place.
  15. Anniebea started following Monday, February 2 He will send out the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth’s extremity to heaven’s extremity.​—Mark 13:27.

    Monday, February 2 He will send out the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth’s extremity to heaven’s extremity.—Mark 13:27. While Christ died “once for all time,” he is still making sacrifices for us. (Rom. 6:10) How so? He continues to expend time and effort as he puts the ransom benefits to work in our behalf. Consider what he is busy doing. He serves as our King, High Priest, and head of the congregation. (1 Cor. 15:25; Eph. 5:23; Heb. 2:17) He is in charge of the work of gathering the anointed and the great crowd, a task that will be completed before the great tribulation ends. (Matt. 25:32) He also sees to it that his faithful servants are well-fed spiritually during these last days. (Matt. 24:45) And throughout his Millennial Reign, he will continue to serve our interests. Jehovah truly gave his Son for us! w25.01 24 ¶12

    I can’t see myself going underneath, only over the top. And you—do you feel the same? Could it be because we have eternity in our hearts? I don’t want to die; I want to see the end of the story. I really want to make it through alive, but I don’t know if I am worthy of going over the top or underneath.

    hub.jw.org/meetings it’s still not possible to find the specific assembly or convention date that your congregation is assigned to without also cross-referencing your circuit number (which can be obtained on donate.jw.org)

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone is using Meeting Media Manager ? https://sircharlo.github.io/meeting-media-manager

    What you said is true. And everyone can say the same thing simply by changing the number to 50, 60 , 70 , years ago. Here's another perspective ~ If Adam and Eve had not sinned, you and the rest of us would not have been born. We are alive as a result of every little thing that happened since they had their first children. If they had not sinned, the human race would have gone in an entirely different direction. It seems weird, but we live because they sinned and Jehovah deemed their yet-to-be-conceived children as deserving of life. In Br Winder's talk "Manifest Godly Patience", he makes the point that God's patience is purpose oriented, he wants to give people a chance to change. But, his patience is not due to babies being born every day, and wanting to give them a chance to grow up and have the opportunity to know him, to make a choice. If that was the case, the end would never come. Jehovah's attributes are perfectly balanced, and the time will come when patience can no longer be warranted. At that time, justice and righteousness demand action. We understand that the 'good news' will be preached right down to the end. So, Jehovah exercises patience, holding out the opportunity to know him, until it can't be warranted, and he knows when that time is. It's on the divine calendar.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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 applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer.  I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation.   One of them , I'd never met before.  I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses.   Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not.   I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.  But will be adding Tuesdays as well.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!

      I see you’re from Ukraine—a place with a deep history and some beautiful scenery.
