  1. Past hour
  2. Not if Jehovah intervenes and puts everything into place including the one thought of giving there power to the UN. I feel Satan and the demons are just causing chaos trying to do everything against peace and security.
  3. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t changing. It’s stopping. We stay busy, distracted, moving forward even when we know we’re off course. Slowing down feels risky. Quiet gives thoughts room to talk back, and we don’t always like what they say. Think of someone walking the wrong way down a road and knowing it. Turning around doesn’t fix the miles already behind them. It just means the next step isn’t a lie anymore. That turn can feel clumsy. It can feel late. But it counts.
  4. An amazing experience. And a pretty amazing write up with your artistic flair. Thank you. YF Dave
  5. Today
  6. Me too! But then the brother thought it better that I change to "Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie." (My overworking mind was demanding more detail than what was provided in the Truth book.)
  7. Everything was fine before the update and this was his response: My dns are as follows. Being as I work from home, I do have an internal DNS server that points to: 9.9.9.9 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.4 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 I do not believe that DNS is the issue. I believe it is an issue on my firewall what ports are needed at this point for the application to work anything outbound is also allowed inbound for example 443 80 53 8080 Etc……
  8. Sounds like a very smart answer. 😃Thanks I will let him know. Sounds Latin to me. 😁
  9. Yesterday
  10. What a fun question Lori! and... how amazing that we have our Library that we can look up those books ... no hunting to find it from a book store and pay with dollars we dont have. What a gift!!! I truly marvel at the feast of spiritual food ... even from yester year. Mainstream Christianity would be charging a fortune ... I know cuz I used to buy whatever book Zondervan publishing had.
  11. He is likely using a DNS server on his PC that is restricting him from connecting to the IP addresses used by NWS. The phone is likely using the DNS server configured by his wireless carrier. A PC can set the DNS through Windows or through the router. Windows DNS sometimes overrides the router DNS. Have him choose 8.8.8.8 and 6.6.6.6. These allow virtually everything.
  12. I do not know. I’m too old to remember it. Probably, it was The Three Worlds.
  13. For us it was "What does the Bible Really Teach?" Which was phenomenal cuz having been brought up Protestant it was eye opening to realize what we knew wasnt what the Bible really taught ~ it was as if the title was just for us 🙂
  14. I studied Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored… I have to admit I hated every minute of it
  15. For me it was the little blue book "The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life" 🥰
  16. Thursday, January 29 Be sound in mind.—1 Pet. 4:7. A Christian who is sound in mind does his best to make good decisions that reflect Jehovah’s thinking. Such a Christian knows that nothing in life is more important than his relationship with Jehovah. He has a balanced view of himself, knowing that he does not have all the answers. And he demonstrates his reliance on God by approaching Jehovah often in humble prayer. We realize that we need to keep praying to Jehovah regardless of any natural abilities we may have. Therefore, especially when we are faced with important decisions, we pray to Jehovah for guidance, trusting that he knows what is best for us. How thankful we are that Jehovah has designed us in a way that we can reflect his qualities. (Gen. 1:26) Of course, we cannot imitate Jehovah perfectly.—Isa. 55:9. w25.03 11 ¶13; 13 ¶17-18
  17. Webb pushes boundaries of observable Universe closer to Big Bang 28 Jan 28 2026 - NASA Webb Mission Team -Goddard Space Flight Center By now Webb has established that it will eventually surpass virtually every benchmark it sets in these early years, but the newly confirmed galaxy, MoM-z14, holds intriguing clues to the Universe’s historical timeline and just how different a place the early Universe was than astronomers expected. “With Webb, we are able to see farther than humans ever have before, and it looks nothing like what we predicted, which is both challenging and exciting,” said Rohan Naidu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, lead author of a paper on galaxy MoM-z14 published in the Open Journal of Astrophysics... Intriguing features MoM-z14 is one of a growing group of surprisingly bright galaxies in the early Universe – 100 times more than theoretical studies predicted before the launch of Webb, according to the research team. “There is a growing chasm between theory and observation related to the early Universe, which presents compelling questions to be explored going forward,” said Jacob Shen, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and a member of the research team... Article link: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2603/ Pic Description: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows galaxy MoM-z14 as it appeared in the distant past, only 280 million years after the universe began in the big bang. Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Rohan Naidu (MIT); Image Processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI) The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has topped itself once again, delivering on its promise to push the boundaries of the observable Universe closer to cosmic dawn with the confirmation of a bright galaxy that existed 280 million years after the Big Bang.
  18. For me it was the red "You Can Live Forever On A Paradise Earth." 💖 What about you?
  19. So one of our MS is having an issue connecting from his home internet as a "Shared Person' He had it before and it was a simple download of software for him. But now he can only connect to the congregation using his phone hotspot. This seems to be working fine. However, when he goes back on his home internet he gets the following messages. Any idea what is causing the issue?
  20. The congregation does not need to reconnect to NWP. The region you're referring to in NWS is for 'Congregation Sharing' in NWS only, not NW Publisher.
  21. NWS has 2 different numbers for each congreegation. Since the 9 digit number didn't work you can find the other number this way On the left menu bar click Congregation. Then click Congrgation Information. Underneath the name of your congregtion there will be another 6 or 8 digit number that should work.
  22. Sorry, wrong chapters posted, correct ones and links below Isaiah Chapter 28 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-28/ Isaiah Chapter 29 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-29/
  23. These are just snapshots of the Entire Bible Reading for this week on Video. To view the entire Videos WITH the New World Translation audio goto to my personal Webpage using these links: Isaiah Chapter 24 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-24/ Isaiah Chapter 25 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-25/ This is part of "The Photo Drama of the Bible", my personal Bible Study Project to make the Word of God come alive by making an image for every single verse of the Bible. Going very well at the moment, 605 images done , which equates to 2.01% of the Entire Bible done. "All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them" - Matt 13:34 I feel illustrations feed the mind, just like the verbal illustrations Jesus used. It encouraged them to visualise his words by means of a picture. I find the organisations Artwork is amazing, it's a pity that some don't truly appreciate the artwork and the amount of detail and research that is spent on each image. What do you think?
  24. This may come later than expected. Trump's Board of Peace indicates a recognition that the UN has no teeth........at the moment!

    • 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!!
       
      STAY SAFE!!

      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!
