Well, midnight is the start of a new day.

I wish we had a Restoration Clock that showed how close we are the New System. I think we are symbolically 85 seconds to sunrise...

Here in our country, measles are occuring even there are efforts of vaccination. There are claims that some children died after vaccination. Heart breaking news.

I got my shot for it last year. I hope the friends get theirs.

Yhe post yesterday goes along somewhat with Bible prophecy, but it is limited. The diseases mentioned are only in the US for now, but the prophecy is worldwide.

I had a wonderful surprise this week. While some of our publishers were going over some very old photographs of our village (around WW1), they found a picture of a group of sisters advertising the PhotoDrama in our little village. We didn't get a congregation until 1970. So no one can identify these diligent sisters (and one little boy) in the photo. Photo is shown below. It is possible that the 100 year old photo is mislabeled. They could be standing in front of the sign advertising the Drama but really are part of a 4th of July demonstration or something similar. Our history is more detailed than we ever knew. Did anyone else have the Photo Drama come to be shown in their congregation territory?

@Gary P Any news ?

MAINTENANCE ijw.link is currently under maintenance. Service may be intermittent for several hours.

Mustered up. That phrase matters. This wasn’t fearlessness. This wasn’t confidence born of personality or experience. This was courage scraped together while the knees were still shaking. Courage that didn’t originate in the chest, but was borrowed—drawn from Jehovah when there wasn’t enough inside to stand on. I know that feeling.

Sunday, February 8 We mustered up boldness by means of our God.—1 Thess. 2:2. As Jehovah’s people, we wholeheartedly support God’s Kingdom, but we often need courage to do so. (Matt. 6:33) For example, in this wicked world, we need courage to live by Jehovah’s standards and to preach the Kingdom good news. And it often takes courage to remain politically neutral in this increasingly divided system of things. (John 18:36) Many among Jehovah’s people have suffered financial loss, have been physically abused, or have been imprisoned because of refusing to participate in political or military activity. We gain strength and courage when we consider the examples of those who have courageously supported Jehovah’s rulership. Our King, Christ Jesus, firmly resisted pressure to become involved in Satan’s political system of things. (Matt. 4:8-11; John 6:14, 15) He always relied on Jehovah for strength. w24.07 3 ¶4; 4 ¶7

That's actually a very creative way to use that feature. I hadn't thought of that type of use, but seems like a neat idea. My fear in our congregation is that half the friends using NWP aren't aware or don't take the initiative to click the events listed on the home page in order to see the additional details and info. Even though we dedicated a local needs part to teach the congregation about the main features of the app and how best to take advantage of them. 🤪 But at least it would be an effective way to use the app to reach the other half of the congregation, in our case anyway. 😁

A wife and her husband married for over 30 years were sitting at the dinner table. Suddenly the wife looks at him and says, "Do you remember when you used to hold my hand? The husband sighs reaches out and holds her hand. She continues, do you remember when you used to kiss me on the cheek? He leans over and gives her a kiss. Then she says softly, do you remember how you used to nibble my ear? The husband stands up and starts walking away. Surprised she asks where are you going? He replies...

Even if money fails all resources are still here.

Good question. I found it. https://jwtalk.net/topic/45502-turns-out-dinosaurs-probably-didnt-look-as-frightening-as-we-thought/#comment-738916

Webb's 255-hour-long observation reveals invisible dark matter in a map area containing nearly 800,000 galaxies By Chibuike Okpara, Published 02/01/2026 Using its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope peered into a region for a total of about 255 hours. This exceptionally long observation allowed astronomers to trace dark matter by studying how its gravity distorts and influences the light from distant galaxies. As part of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) project, Webb captured an area of the sky located in the constellation Sextans. The region measures 0.54 square degrees — that is, about two and a half times the size of a Full Moon. This expanse of sky shown in the image contains nearly 800,000 galaxies. The area is also overlaid with a map of dark matter... In this image, the dark matter is represented in blue. Brighter blue areas indicate a higher density of dark matter. While Hubble previously mapped the dark matter in this area of the sky in 2007, Webb’s map reveals new clumps of dark matter, as it contains about twice as many galaxies as Hubble’s map. Webb’s map also offers a higher resolution view.

Measles Resurgence The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention yesterday reported at least 733 confirmed measles cases nationwide so far this year—more than four times the annual average of 180 cases from 2000 to 2024. See dashboard. The nationwide update, which often lags behind state-level counts, comes as South Carolina reported 920 measles cases yesterday, including 44 new infections since Tuesday. Of those infected with the respiratory virus in South Carolina, 840 are unvaccinated, and 824 are under 18. Overall, roughly 57% of cases confirmed by the CDC are among people aged 5 to 19. Experts attribute the nationwide rise in measles cases to a growing number of parents declining vaccines for their children over concerns about potential side effects. The US recorded 2,276 measles cases last year—its highest total since the nation declared measles eliminated in 2000 following high vaccination rates. Last year, the share of kindergarteners vaccinated against measles nationwide also fell below 93%. Experts say herd immunity is typically achieved at around 95% coverage.

What am I looking for? Shrink wrap, Evolution, Early Man, artists portrayal???

Our congregation has several events coming up that need volunteers, such as the CA Cleaning assignment, lunch for the SCE, work day at the AH. Has anyone used NWP to notify the congregation when volunteers are needed? I'm thinking about creating a Congregation Events for each event and include "Volunteers Needed" in the title and include the captains information in the Event description. Such as "Circuit Assembly Cleaning Assignment-Volunteers Needed" as the title, then put the captains name and number in the description. Do you think that would work? Have you found a better way to do it?

If you search on here, you'll enjoy a previous discussion on this. I actually learned about this topic from a post on here.

Thank you for that link. Quite revealing the guesswork involved, especially the shrink-wrap versions. The method of using a continuous link for man definitely conveys what the author wants, but not what the fossils are telling them. I would like to see them include this one which according to them is our earliest mammal ancestor. I have to laugh as I caught one in a trap a couple of weeks back: ChangingFaceOfMan_1915-1985.pdf

Each one of his books are separate topics. You'll find good comments in each of those.
