  1. Past hour
  2. Why you making me cry Tim? 🥹 Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
  3. Indeed! thank you for posting they are ok! Oh how we love our spiritual family! Prayers!!!
  4. We have the same problem. Every field service was changed to 00:00. But I changed it back and it have worked since. Other problem we had is that the schedule for CO Visit was also changed to 00:00. I changed back and sent to the app and it looks ok in the NWP but after next restart of NWS it's changed neck to 00:00. I have reported this to NW.
  5. Screenshot from today, LBC in Uk, They're ok, I feel very sad it happened
  6. It doesn't matter what happens to these. What matter is in Daniel 2:44
  7. Today
  8. Indeed or Glassdoor are both valid job websites. Just be sure to verify with your prospective employer that the job is actually remote.
  9. It is sunny and a chilly 27 degrees F today. It's supposed to get down to 23 degrees F tonight, but the remainder of the week should be warmer (50s-60s during the day and 40s at night).
  10. Parts of our Kingdom Hall, such as driveway, fencing, floor and wall tiling, main stage, gyprock and toilets. Its a real dump of a place! We are going to spruce up our seating with a new coat of paint whilst the KH is being renovated.
  11. This past tense conjugation sticks to the heart. Yet beautiful, and very invigorating. Thank you, David.
  12. Well Saturday got to 38.3°C, Sunday was 36.6°C and today it got to 32.6°C. On Saturday, a town that is about 60km the way the crows flies to the north-west of us, and where that photo I had posted earlier of the lightning strike received more than 100mm (4inches) of rain! What did we receive? Diddly squat!!! 0mm!
  13. I can only imagine how your brother's strong faith has moved you, and yours is in evidence, too. Yes, such situations early in our lives, where our very existence may be in question, can lead to different reactions. For me, it meant holding onto Jehovah's hand from earliest times, as a place of refuge and strength. Your dear brother understood this too, and clearly is still an inspiration for you and others to this day. Thanks for sharing this with us.
  14. Proverbs 22:3 says: “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, but the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.” Notice what the verse does not commend. It does not praise fear. It commends foresight. The shrewd person does not wait for disaster to arrive before acting. He anticipates reality and positions himself wisely. Spiritual maturity includes preparation. Most people prepare for predictable events—career, retirement, weather. Scripture asks a more searching question: What are we doing about the only certainty every human faces? My brother was born with serious heart defects. From infancy, hospitals were not theoretical places; they were part of his landscape. Uncertainty was not abstract. It was woven into his life. Yet he was not defined by vulnerability. At fourteen years old, he chose to dedicate himself to Jehovah in baptism. That decision was not a reaction to crisis. It was the visible marker of something already formed within him. Conviction had settled early. That was his contingency plan. Ecclesiastes 11:2 states: “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, for you do not know what disaster may occur on the earth.” Solomon highlights uncertainty, not anxiety. You cannot eliminate every risk. You cannot predict every outcome. But you can position yourself spiritually before events unfold. My brother did not wait for circumstances to stabilize before investing spiritually. He made that investment while health uncertainty remained a reality. Years later, he worked for more than a decade assisting in the design of operating rooms—some in the very hospitals that had treated him. He enjoyed sports. He valued deep conversation. Friends describe him as steady and warm. He lived fully, not cautiously. The early investment bore fruit over time. And then there are Jesus’ words at John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” Notice how Jesus speaks. He does not deny death. He accounts for it. Faith is not built on avoiding mortality. It is built on confidence in what follows. A contingency plan anticipates what may occur and prepares for it. When serious health challenges returned later in life, there was no scrambling for spiritual footing. No last-minute negotiation. The foundation had been laid decades earlier. He had already accounted for the possibility.
  15. I have started making a waffle stitch scarf. It will be a few months before I need anything that warm to wear!
  16. I saw the first TV episode when it aired on September 8, 1966 - from that point on I liked the show I like most of the various spinoffs but not all of them. When they got away from actual stories and started writing "agendas", I lost interest
  17. I grew up on Voyager and it's still my favorite. It's the most PG13 of the main series. TOS: swashbuckling. The whole point is the Kirk, Spock, Bones dynamic and we all know it. TNG: philosophical. From the very first episode it is full of episodes with commentary on humanity, progress, and ethics with plenty of debate as they explore. DS9: spiritual/sexual. almost entirely character driven storylines and conflict between science and faith. Lots of romantic entanglements. Voyager: optimistic. It's the most sanitized series. Doesn't get too dark, good character growth, and a lot of mentor relationships that explore what it means to be human as they try to get back to Earth. Also, fun holodeck episodes. Enterprise: nostalgic references. One of the best storyline arcs, but atrocious character development and disappointing ending. It was cancelled and the last episode is terrible. I would watch them in that order. You can appreciate the references in Enterprise after seeing the other series. Side note: I hate the mirror universe so much!
  18. Yesterday
  19. Not all of our brothers are updated to #1432 yet. Just today, all of our field service meeting times changed from 10:00 to 12:00. No one had even tried to edit anything in there at all - it just changed on its own for no reason. We are going to wait until everyone is updated and then try to change it back.
  20. Monday, February 23 Jehovah . . . is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.—2 Pet. 3:9. Having had firsthand experience, the apostle Peter could teach others about repentance and forgiveness. Some time after the festival of Pentecost, Peter gave a discourse to a crowd of unbelieving Jews, explaining to them that they had put the Messiah to death. Yet, he lovingly urged them: “Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get your sins blotted out, so that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovah himself.” (Acts 3:14, 15, 17, 19) Peter thus showed that repentance moves a sinner to turn around—to change his wrong way of thinking and acting—and to pursue a new course, one pleasing to God. The apostle also showed that Jehovah would blot out their sins, or cause their sins to disappear. What a beautiful hope for Christians when they commit sins—even serious ones! w24.08 12 ¶14
  21. Exactly. Without the air conditioning, any leather goods go mouldy, and other items too. Even in today's top of 24C/75.2F there is a need to make sure it is on if the humidity goes over 60%. At least that can keep things doable.

    • 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!!
