Very interesting case indeed. I also read the article from die Welt (linked in the JW article: For more information, please see this link to a Die Welt article entitled “BGH Examines Dispute Over Family Archive of Persecuted Jehovah’s Witnesses.”) and this part seems to be really unfair: If I understand it correctly we now have to prove that the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden didn't buy the archive “in good faith” 🤯 How ridiculous is this? And what's the point of museum's refusal and legal fight if they display less than 6% of the whole archive? https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/germany/Jehovahs-Witnesses-Launch-New-Legal-Case-in-Germany-Over-Annemarie-Kusserows-Archive/ I hope Jehovah will help our brothers to win this case and we'll have a chance to see those precious artefacts without providing financial support for German Army 🙄

It has been my privilege to mention 6 Romany languages in this topic. Today is the 7th Romany (Spoitori) Content: Videos #rmn-x-rsp

I paid $3.21 yesterday - Costco in Georgia. All things considered, not bad from most others.... The gov did suspend the gas tax which definitely helped.

Dear brothers and sisters, just picture this scene for a moment… It’s a scorching day in July. The sun is relentless. The air feels heavy… almost suffocating. A weary traveler slowly approaches a small, poor-looking hut. He hesitates… then gently knocks on the door. A woman opens. Her clothes are worn… nearly torn. Behind her stand three small children… quiet… tired… wrapped in rags. The traveler asks for just one thing: A glass of water. And she gives it to him. But as he glances inside… he sees more than poverty. He sees disorder. Neglect. A life that feels… broken. And as he walks away, he quietly says words that would change everything: “If only these poor people knew what treasure is hidden in their home…” A treasure? In that home? The woman stands there… frozen. Those words echo in her mind. They won’t leave her. Dear brothers and sisters, can you feel what she must have felt? Maybe part of you thinks: “A treasure? In a place like that? That can’t be true.” And yet… isn’t that sometimes exactly how we feel about our own life? We may not be poor materially… but inside? We feel empty. Tired. Overwhelmed. Maybe even broken. And maybe thoughts come like: “I just can’t keep going like this…” “I’m not enough…” “Why has life become so heavy?” And in moments like that… what if someone said to you: “If only you knew what treasure is already in your home…” The woman starts searching. All evening long. She looks everywhere. Every corner. Every drawer. Every hidden space. That night… she can’t sleep. One thought keeps circling in her mind: A treasure. A treasure. A treasure. Before the sun rises… she is already searching again. But the longer she searches… the more frustration grows inside her. Her husband comes home. There is no meal. No order. No peace. He explodes in anger. Harsh words fill the room. And then… he leaves again. Back to the tavern. And what remains? A tired woman. Three children. And a home filled with chaos. Does that feel familiar? Because in many ways… that’s what life can feel like. We search for happiness. We search for peace. We search for answers. But so often… we search in the wrong places. In possessions. In distractions. In everything this world offers. And the more we search… the emptier we feel. But then… something changes. One day… she reaches up to the top shelf of an old cupboard. She pulls down dusty, forgotten things. And suddenly… a book slips from her hands. It falls. Opens. And there it is. A Bible. Her Bible. The one her mother gave her. She sees her name written inside. And beneath it… these words: “More precious than gold.” In that moment… time seems to stop. Memories flood her heart. She sees herself as a child. She hears her mother’s voice. She feels warmth. Safety. Love. Peace. And then… she looks around again. At her life now. The dirt. The tension. The emptiness. And a question rises from deep within her: Why? Why did everything change? And then… like a light breaking through darkness… a thought enters her heart: “My mother drew her happiness from this book…” “This… is the treasure.” “This is the treasure!” Dear brothers and sisters, how often is that treasure in our home too… and we don’t even see it? Maybe it’s lying on a table. Maybe on a shelf. Maybe covered in dust. Maybe unopened for days… weeks… even longer. And yet… it is more valuable than all the gold in this world. The Bible is not just a book. It is a love letter. A personal message from Jehovah… to you. Filled with thoughts that can heal your heart. Words that can lift you when you feel weak. Hope… that can carry you when you feel like giving up. Remember the words of Matthew 6:21: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” So let’s ask ourselves honestly: Where is my treasure? Is it in this world? In success? In money? In recognition? Or… is it with Jehovah? In His Word? Because your heart… will always follow your treasure. Always. If your treasure is in this world… your heart will never truly rest. But if your treasure is with Jehovah… your heart can find peace. And Matthew 12:35 reminds us: “A good man brings good things out of his good treasure.” What we fill our heart with… is what will come out of our life. If we fill it with Jehovah’s Word… we begin to change. Our thoughts change. Our feelings change. Our actions change. Can you picture that woman now? Holding the Bible in her hands… maybe trembling. Maybe with tears running down her face. Whispering softly: “I’ve neglected you for so long…” And maybe… there is someone here… or someone listening… who feels exactly the same. Maybe your Bible is there too. Waiting. Not to judge you. But because Jehovah… misses you. He’s not waiting to reproach you. He’s waiting with open arms. Just imagine… Jehovah is, in a sense, waiting patiently… for you to open that book again. And the moment you do… something begins to heal inside you. Quietly. Gently. But deeply. Maybe everything won’t change overnight. But something will change. Inside your heart. And that… is the real treasure. Not gold. Not wealth. But peace. Love. Hope. Dear brothers and sisters, my heartfelt wish is this: That every one of us has this treasure at home. And not only owns it… but uses it. That we open it… when we feel sad. When we feel tired. When we feel like we’re not enough. Because that is exactly when Jehovah draws close to us. Maybe tonight… you take your Bible in your hands. Slowly. Consciously. And maybe you whisper a simple prayer: “Jehovah… please help me find this treasure again.” And I promise you… you will find it. Because it was never truly gone. It was right there all along. In your home. Right in front of your heart. One final thought: The treasure was never lost. Only forgotten. Let’s find it again. And hold on to it. Forever.

I don’t carry cash. So 6.59 tonight! 🫣

Well, yeah... My wife knows my plans on traveling the stars. I think her attitude is wait and see.

Thats nice. No room for greed.

Ah that makes sense. Like with the Ukraine war another instance of irredentism but with a more religious context.

My start menu:

Friday, March 27 Their hearts continued dull in understanding.—Mark 6:52. After Jesus fed a crowd, he had his apostles leave the area to return to Capernaum by boat and he withdrew to the mountain, thus avoiding the crowd’s effort to make him king. (John 6:16-20) While the apostles were sailing, a storm arose, bringing violent wind and waves. Then Jesus came to them, walking on the water. And he invited the apostle Peter to walk on the water too. (Matt. 14:22-31) Once Jesus was in the boat, the wind abated. The disciples were moved to say: “You really are God’s Son.” (Matt. 14:33) Still, they did not see the connection between this miracle and what happened earlier with the crowd. Mark adds this detail: “[The apostles] were utterly amazed, for they had not grasped the meaning of the loaves.” (Mark 6:50-52) Yes, they failed to grasp the extent of the power that Jehovah had given Jesus to perform miracles. w24.12 5 ¶7

I kept both icons. The original on my taskbar and the new on on the start menu. I just looked. All of them have been changed to the original one (it still works OK.

Enthroned... Excellent choice of words

They're calling it the "Combatting Hate Act," as if it's actually going to curb hatred. Just watch: it won't work. It will take something much more forceful to eliminate hate.

Yup. That's the one. Well, um... the new one has a DVD on it too. But I prefer this one...

Canada passes C-9 Bill which restricts certain speech or text I guess against certain people and groups. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/bill-c-9-anti-hate-religious-exemption-hate-speech-9.7142455 There is a lot going around right now. It may be nothing but a lot is being said elsewhere online. So we'll see.

The one with the DVD on it?

I downloaded the EXE file. When activated, it erased all of the existing 2601 WTL. I had to manually ask it to load a new library. It did so but the framework was completely empty except for a help file (no daily text, not publications). I went back and clicked on the EXE file a second time and it started downloading the rest of the library (it may have been trying in the background, I don't know). After a few minutes, I got the new logo (app icon). When I opened the library, it was still empty. I clicked on the help menu and asked for "updates". A menu appeared showing the program still loading (about 3/4 done). I waited until it was finished and looked in help one more time to see which version was loaded. It said 2601. So after all that work and a half-hour of fooling around, I got the same program, the same data, the same publications and the same version number...WITH a new logo/icon.

This is so loving. Thank you for the generous exposition.
