Interesting. Not a new problem, either: “While the pamphlets highlighted important information about child abuse and offered a highly valuable line of contact between young people and the State regarding their human rights, it is disappointing that the pamphlets appear to target some practices and activities, especially those of Jehovah’s Witnesses,” the experts said. “Rather than protecting children who belong to religion or belief minorities, these materials risk contributing to their bullying and marginalization,” they said. Consultations with civil society and minorities in relation to the “Q&A on Responses to Child Abuse Related to Religious Beliefs, etc.” (“Q&A Guidelines”), can help address these discriminatory concerns, they said.

I was thinking it and you said it. 🙂

Webb Redefines Dividing Line Between Planets, Stars 14 April 2026 10am Release ID: 2026-116 Composition and orbit of super-chonky 29 Cygni b point to accretion within a protoplanetary disk. Where is the dividing line between stars and the most massive planets? Scientists think it may depend on how they formed. Was it from a bottom-up approach, gradually growing larger over time, or a top-down approach in which a large collection of gas and dust fragments into smaller, planet-sized bits? To answer these questions, astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to study an object weighing about 15 times as much as Jupiter, which puts it right on the dividing line between the two processes. They found that the object, called 29 Cygni b, likely formed from the bottom up rather than the top down. In other words, it formed like a planet, not a star.

Astronomers studied 29 Cygni b with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. They determined that it likely formed from accretion rather than disk fragmentation.

Update on my current project.

Absolutely beautiful and encouraging. Jehovah is indeed my my God,my Father and Best Friend💜💜 I really appreciate those encouraging posts, my brother. 😍

I believe what's most important is to consider what we have to offer a mate. They not just for us; we're for them. Will we - our personality, spirituality, maturity, circumstances - be beneficial to someone else? Especially for a brother - are you ready to head a household and be responsible for all who live with you? If we can unselfishly say, "yes", that's when we should go looking for a mate. It's much beyond what our bodies can tell us.. 🤨

My mobile phone worries me. It has started to have hickups. I bought it in 2020. It's not that old!

It's nice to see the stock market YTD positive again...

We will know next month in the first convention 😉

Theme Scripture: 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.” Introduction Dear brothers and sisters… Have you ever wondered… “Does Jehovah really see what I am going through right now?” Does he see… …the silent tears that no one notices? …the worries we carry with us at night in bed? …the struggles that perhaps not even our family knows about? Sometimes life can become so difficult… that although we know Jehovah loves us, our heart may quietly ask: “Does he even see me right now?” “Does he know how much this hurts?” “Does he really care about what I’m going through?” And when we have such doubts… Jehovah lovingly reminds us today of this beautiful truth found in 2 Chronicles 16:9: “The eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth…” Just imagine that for a moment. Jehovah is not sitting far away somewhere in heaven merely glancing down at the earth. No. His eyes… are roving about through all the earth. That means: He is searching. He is looking attentively. He overlooks nothing. And what is he searching for? For people… “whose heart is complete toward him.” For people like you. For people like me. For faithful servants who love him. And why is he looking for them? “To show his strength in their behalf.” So Jehovah is actively searching for opportunities… to help you. to strengthen you. to be there for you. Today we want to consider: How Jehovah cares for his servants How he often works behind the scenes And why we can trust him completely 1. Jehovah Does Not Only See Big Things — He Sees Every Detail Dear brothers and sisters… sometimes we may think: “Jehovah surely cares about major problems… but my little worries?” But Jehovah is different. To him, no concern is too small. Jesus said in Matthew 10:29-31: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge… You are worth more than many sparrows.” Isn’t that moving? Jehovah notices even a tiny bird when it falls from the sky. Then ask yourself: If Jehovah notices a little bird… how much more does he notice your pain? He sees: your tears. your fears. your stress. your silent prayers in the middle of the night. Illustration A small child is playing on a playground. He falls down. To other adults it may not seem like a big deal. “Oh, it’s just a little fall.” But the mother? She runs over immediately. Why? Because that is her child. Others may say: “It’s not serious.” But for a loving mother, what matters is not how big the problem is. What matters is simply: “My child is hurting.” And Jehovah is the same way. What may seem small to others… matters deeply to Jehovah, if it hurts you. 2. Jehovah Often Helps at Exactly the Right Time Have you noticed? Jehovah rarely helps too early. Almost never too late. But always exactly on time. Why? Because Jehovah’s timing is perfect. Think about the Israelites at the Red Sea. In front of them was water. Behind them was Egypt’s army. Surely many thought: “Jehovah, WHERE are you?” But Jehovah waited… not because he had forgotten them… but because his moment had not yet come. And then… at exactly the perfect moment… he divided the sea. Dear brothers and sisters… we often experience the same thing. We pray… and at first nothing seems to happen. A day passes. A week passes. Perhaps months. And we ask: “Jehovah, do you even hear me?” But then… suddenly… a door opens. Help arrives. A solution appears. And we realize: Jehovah was working the whole time. Just not according to our schedule… but according to his perfect timing. 3. Jehovah Sometimes Moves Many Things at Once for Just One Servant And that is deeply moving. Sometimes we must understand: When Jehovah helps… he does not move just one thing. Sometimes he moves countless circumstances at once. People. Events. Timings. Thoughts. Developments. Everything… so that one of his children can be helped. Illustration Imagine a giant clockwork. Hundreds of gears turning all at once. If you only look at one gear, you do not understand what is happening. But the clockmaker? He controls every single one. And sometimes Jehovah is turning gears behind the scenes… that we cannot even see. Weeks beforehand. Months beforehand. Perhaps years beforehand. So that at exactly the right time… everything comes together. And only afterward do we realize: “Now I understand… Jehovah was preparing everything all along.” 4. Jehovah Often Uses People as an Expression of His Love How does Jehovah often help? Not always through miracles. But often… through people. Through brothers and sisters. Through their love. Through their generosity. Through their attentiveness. In Galatians 6:10 we read: “Let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.” When a brother calls you just when you need comfort… when a sister encourages you without knowing how badly you needed it… when someone helps you practically… that is often more than kindness. That is Jehovah… showing his love through his family. Moving Thought Perhaps you yourself have once been there for someone at exactly the right moment… and thought: “It’s strange… somehow I suddenly felt I should call him.” Perhaps that was not coincidence. Perhaps Jehovah moved your heart. 5. Why Does Jehovah Sometimes Allow Trials? But one question remains: If Jehovah cares… why does he allow difficult trials at all? Because help does not always mean removing problems immediately. Sometimes help means: Giving strength to go through them. Isaiah 41:10 says: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you… I will fortify you, yes, I will help you.” Notice: Jehovah does not always say: “I will remove everything immediately.” Rather: “I am with you.” Illustration A father watches his child learning to ride a bicycle. The child falls. The father does not pick him up every single time and carry him the whole way. Why not? Because the child would never grow. But what does he do? He stays close. He holds on. He encourages. He helps him get back up. And that is how Jehovah acts. 6. Trust This: Jehovah Will Never Overlook You Perhaps someone sitting here today… is struggling inwardly. Perhaps no one knows. You smile on the outside… but inside it hurts. Then Jehovah wants to tell you today: “I see you.” “I have not forgotten you.” “I know your pain.” Psalm 34:18 says: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted.” Isn’t that beautiful? Not: “Jehovah watches them from a distance.” No. He is close. Very close. Conclusion Dear brothers and sisters… if you take only one thought home today, let it be this: Jehovah sees you. Jehovah knows your situation. Jehovah may already be working behind the scenes for you. Even if you do not yet see it. Even if you do not yet understand it. Even if you are still waiting. Never forget: “The eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth…” And perhaps… perhaps his eyes are especially upon you right now. Because he sees your heart. Because he sees your faithfulness. Because he sees your tears. And because he is already working… to show his strength in your behalf. Final Appeal So: Never give up. Never stop praying. Never stop trusting. Because our loving Father Jehovah… never overlooks one of his children. Never. Closing Question How do you feel about that?

Why would we look at the structure and inequalities of Satan's world to determine how Jehovah feels about us?

"According to court records, the plaintiffs include the Japanese branch of Jehovah's Witnesses in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture."

Any two objects that orbit each other tend to slowly become tidally locked. Mercury is tidally locked to the sun, always having one side turned toward the sun. The moon is tidally locked to the earth. Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to each other. The earth's orbit is slowing down because of the moon's gravity. It will take billions of years for the earth to become tidally locked to the moon, because the earth is much larger. Of course, Jehovah could do something before that time so that the earth never becomes tidally locked to the moon. (There is no "dark side of the moon" because the moon has the same face toward the earth but different sides of the moon face the sun as it orbits earth.

I totally agree and I apologise for posting a link in the first place I be more careful next time

When I was younger I really loved football. As I got older, I enjoyed studying the strategy in football. In the past 2 decades my interest in football has waned. I think less and less of football with each passing year. My wife watched the Super Bowl (LX) while I was trying to sleep. I have seen a lot of very good players have career ending injuries, even some lost their lives because of injury. I just don't get involved anymore.

I told my suitcase we’re not going on vacation this year. Now it’s emotional baggage.

It's always adviseable to know yourself and know what works for you and be realistic.

Okay, I've done a quick update to make it check to see if there's any kind of change to cite the same location timestamped notes so it should check now to see if the color has changed and if there's any kind of change it will update. Please have a look and let me know if it works well for you. Thank you
