    Me, too. Nobody studied with me. I got baptized because we were discussing it at the meeting for field service. (When what we did was discuss the text, if i remember right) when we met for service. (My friends Mom was being studied with. My friend and I sat in, knew we needed to go to meetings. We did. At the meetings we learned about field service. We went. At that time it was the magazine work, or sermons.) We were sheep with wings, and our legs weren’t all that shored up. Took a while, and we got sturdy legs now. The wings atrophied…

    Things have been so topsy turvey lately. Things you see. People say you did not see. Will it makes sense to us why they will do what they do? Turn power over. Crazy. It may not make any sense to us. Reason for it. We'll probably not understand it. And yet it will come to pass.

    I studied the book “Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting Life” in 1996. I completed the training in 5 months, and already in June 1996, I became an unbaptized publisher.

    Somehow , someway , it fits in.

    I don't think Nations will surrender their sovereignty because the BoP exists. The same Nations that are in the BoP are also in the UN and the UN will need complete support. I think they will need an outside reason [like a global financial crisis] to surrender their sovereignty and the BoP will have little or no impact on the thought Jehovah gives them.

    It's been sunny here in Georgia, but the highs are only in the 30s. More ice and maybe snow predicted for this coming weekend.

    Hmmmm board of peace might be a piece of the puzzle. Then suddenly nations will surrender their power.

    Interesting headline on the Associated Press News website. Perhaps Trump's 'Board of Peace' will actually galvanise new support for the UN

    The logo is attached to the New World Scheduler app. It is a new update to that program. It is discussed in another thread.

    I work in healthcare right now, so I get to learn a new profession. Or maybe several of them. Or at least study subjects I have been interested in but lack the time or money to really delve into.
  18. Barbllm
    I remember reading through From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained as a child, but not understanding much. I devoured My Book of Bible Stories when it was released (I was 9 at the time). I think I eventually started studying in the Live Forever book and the United in Worship book afterward. My mother came into the truth after studying the Truth book.

  20. Mike047
    Litcart assignments can be the most challenging yet most rewarding aspects of our ministry. Many brothers and sisters keep going throughout to make the truth available.
  21. Mike047
    Fascinating book, John, we have a copy. It was helpful that these older books gave references to cited verses. At Chapter XXII 'The Enduring Quality of the New World', paras 18,19 make some fascinating points about the final test.

    I started studying with the blue book, The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life. I loved and enjoyed my studies with that publication. I still have it packed away in a box from when we moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts.

    Where can we see this logo?
  25. Qapla
    There weren't any specific books we were supposed to study, nor were there any questions to go over with the Congregation Committee before we got baptized.

    Looks more "worldwide" in the new logo.
  27. BigMAC
    I find it quite funny that the logo has gotten a addition in form of the Greenland...😁 But on the other hand Greenland have been mentioned in the news quite often lately... OLD New

    Yes. I downloaded the app on my Android table and I had to authenticate with a code sent to my e-mail I use in the shared congregation access. As Admin/elder, from it I can do almost everything I'd do in the desktop app. Publishers may not have access to the Mobile app. For them is the NW Publisher app.
  29. jwhess
    Me too, Br. Nat. At the time, the book we began using at the Congregation Book Study was New Heavens and New Earth (dark blue).
  30. Sooner Guy 89
    Only those brothers with shared access will be able to sign into the mobile app. And I believe the same access as the desktop will apply.

    ===== Nice. Do you know, can we restrict which brothers can use the mobile? Or is it once enabled they all can? tyia

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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!!

      GM,  it's Deborah.  Please send to me your email address.  I think Sr. Bonnie, from my old cong, made the CA transcripts and I will forward to you when I get your address.   I thought I had it but cannot find it.   Not sure if she sent into one email both the AM and PM or if she sent them separate.  But I will send to you can you can decide.  Hope you are well.  We are ok  here....just cold weather.  Agape.

      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!
