  1. Past hour
  2. A Grand Poobah badge would be good.
  3. Too true. I have a lot of experiences in the field and witnessing incidentally. I have been loaded down with being a carer for about 20 years for two adults, so I know Jehovah knows my limitations and remembers what I was a able to do with his help. As you say we here to build each other and help the lowly ones. Jehovah loves a cheerful giver.
  4. In Atlanta, FIFA games are being played at Mercedes-Benz stadium (where the NFL Atlanta Falcons play) but it was used for an international convention in 2019.
  5. The JWST discovers a "cosmic vine" of galaxies. This megastructure — nicknamed the "Cosmic Vine" in a study published Nov. 8 to the preprint database arXiv — swoops through space in a bow shape, estimated to stretch more than 13 million light-years long and about 650,000 light-years wide. (For comparison, our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years wide.) Astronomers detected the vast tendril of gas and galaxies while studying James Webb Space Telescope observations of an area called the Extended Groth Strip, located between the constellations Ursa Major and Boötes. The team was looking specifically for light from very early galaxies, focusing on a property called redshift, a measure of how light increases in wavelength as it travels vast distances through the expanding universe. All of the galaxies observed in the Cosmic Vine showed a redshift of roughly 3.44, meaning the light emitted by the objects traveled between 11 billion and 12 billion years — or for most of our 13.8 billion-year-old universe's lifetime — before reaching JWST's lens.
  6. Today
  7. I have a few news songs: I spend quite a bit of time on the road. In addition to my theocratic things, I also listen to audiobooks I get from our Public Library. This song is about listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks Carry Me Away We rescued four kittens and the momma cat from behind one of the Walmart's my daughter services. This is a tribute to the kittens (BTW - the kittens do look like the ones in the pictures and that is their names) Four Little Kittens Have you ever watched a TV program that relaxes you? It was found that, during Covid and the lockdown, many people did just that. One of the programs that they watched was Bob Ross's "Joy of Painting". This is about watching him. Happy Little Trees Ever done 'shift work' ? If so, did you work second shift? How did you feel when you got home? This song os for those people who have worked that shift ... Here's to All Us Second Shifters Do you text? Are you on WhatsApp? DO you use social media and watch shorts, clips and memes? This song is not about that - exactly - it is about actual letters ... written by hand on actual paper and send through snail-mail. It is told from the perspective of the letter. I AM the Letter
  8. Like the congregation each of us attends, the more we put into it, then the more we get out of it. You will find it very absorbing to join in with many of the chats going on. This is a very easy way to put a point of view and express an opinion, without anyone being critical. Sometimes, as in your own congregation, you will find someone, young or older, brother or sister, make a superb spiritual or practical point that you bookmark and keep for the future. What you bring to the site is what will make it of real value for you, and we will have a truly great 'interchange of encouragement' (Rom 1:12)
  9. Mrs Malaprop, again - she says badges are worse than foxes, and destroy more of the garden.
  10. James Webb telescope finds a cosmic cloud of creation buried in the Sword of Orion By Jamie Carter 10 hours ago A new James Webb telescope snap shows off the glowing gas, sculpted jets and newborn stars lurking within the giant cosmic cloud OMC-2, located in the Sword of Orion. ... perhaps the most striking feature of the image is the network of pale, glowing streams and wave-like structures cutting through the cloud. These are created by protostar jets as they collide with the surrounding material, carving out bright ridges and shock fronts. The result is an image that looks sculpted, with curved streams of whitish gas marking how young stars shape their environment. Each jet, ridge and shadow provides clues about the movement of material through the region and helps astronomers trace how stars form and how their energy changes the surrounding cloud. Its colors and textures reveal a complex environment where gravity pulls material together, young stars ignite and energetic outflows reshape the cloud that gave rise to them. Article link: https://www.livescience.com/space/astronomy/james-webb-telescope-finds-a-cosmic-cloud-of-creation-buried-in-the-sword-of-orion-space-photo-of-the-week Video link Video Description: This video takes the viewer on a journey through space to the constellation Orion (the Hunter), a location familiar to Webb, to reveal the latest ESA/Webb Picture of the Month. This area of the sky is replete with star-forming clouds that make up a complex hundreds of light-years across. We find ourselves in the giant molecular cloud Orion A, of which the familiar Orion Nebula (also known as M42) is just a part; Webb has taken both close-up and wide-angle looks at M42 before.

  11. yes twas an assembly from a few years before. it shows that stadiums can be filled with those who not football fans
  12. The interaction is the bit I like. I am not too worried about getting badges. Although if it is an incentive to some good:) I was like that with the language site Duolingo. I became quite addicted to getting points. But since finding this site I am losing interest in Duolingo. I prefer this lingo:) I'm a full-time carer at home and generally use zoom so I don't get much interaction with the brothers. This has become a lifeline for me:)
  13. It happened yesterday. I have the notification ON so whenever the JW Pressroom post or repost something I get notifications.
  14. It reminds me of this scene...🤣
  15. I earned every badge in 2 months. I didn't interact for my first week, but when I saw badges I went hog-wild.
  16. There is an illustration in our publications somewhere of Jonah after being discharged onto a beach by the big fish. I cant remember much about it but I loved that picture, especially because in the background, in the distance across the sea, there was a joyful disappearing tail of the big fish as if it was waving goodbye. I am sure it was in a watchtower. I loved that little detail. I wanted to comment on it but my hand didn't get taken. The main detail was that Jehovah heard Jonah in the belly of the fish and rescued him. But I enjoyed the humour of the fish in the distance appearing to happily go on his way and glad to be relieved of his load.
  17. Though, actually, we are all about ads, as we try to advertise, advertise, advertise the King and his Kingdom.
  18. It's a surprise there isn't more active people here, when you find many brothers and sisters on other social platforms. Mmm... It's a shame. I think I like the "straight road"
  19. I suppose it's something to aim for, we all like a bit of fun. When I was a young girl, I went to my first party of witness children, and there was a game to find the scripture first to win the chocolate....it was my turn, and I still remember the book and chapter, Psalms 119.. don't remember which verse, it was 50 years ago:) But after the chocolate it thrilled me I was getting to know the Bible! Every one got the chocolate:)
  20. Yeah, this seems like the only way to do it now. I did an 'update all' on my PC for pending updates. And the KJV interlinear was also updated. Tried to delete and reinstall and couldn't. The KJV with Strong's Inline is intact though.
  21. Sr. Simone, what would you like posted? The pictures on this page are about the only known pictures of Malcom Rutherford. If you are referring to the convention report, were you asking about other people from 1911?
  22. NGL, I was very happy when I finally got that Grand Master badge. I took me 4 years to earn that highest badge. If I only didn't forgot my old JWTalk account back in 2014 then I would probably already earned it a long time ago.
  23. Not sure when this happened, but our TikTok account reposted someone else’s post:
  24. 1 like = 1 more day of eternal life

    • 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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
