  1. Past hour
  2. Wednesday, September 30 If a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work.—1 Tim. 3:1. If you have been serving for a time as a ministerial servant, you may be well on your way to qualifying to serve as an elder. Can you reach out for that “fine work”? What does the work of an elder involve? He takes the lead in preaching, works hard in shepherding and teaching, and builds up the congregation by word and example. For good reason, the Bible calls hardworking elders “gifts in men.” (Eph. 4:8) How can you qualify to serve as an elder? Qualifying as an elder is not the same as qualifying for a secular job. Often in the secular world, if you have the basic work skills that an employer is looking for, you can get the job. By contrast, if you wish to be appointed as an elder, you need more than preaching and teaching skills. You need to meet the Scriptural qualifications for elders listed at 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9. w24.11 20 ¶1-3
  3. Museum Bible Tours is giving a Zoom presentation called "In the Beginning", which utilizes imaging from JWST. It's on October 3rd, at 4pm EST Meeting ID: 967 2003 1820 Password: 1914 (I found this on IG)
  4. Today
  5. The biggest challenge I see they have is deciphering ambiguous user statements, not providing enough details or too lazy to troubleshoot. I found if you can reproduce the problem and provide step by step on how and include links to their help page that mentions the functionality you get better positive responses.
  6. A brother and I were talking the other day and he shared an experience about visiting a large-ish Midwest US city and how disappointed he was there wasn't much to do while visiting. That prompted me to come here and ask all of you this question What do you find to do when you go away to another town for a few days? What type of recreation do you look for? What do you look for in summer vs winter. What is there to do in this town?
  7. "Oh look! There's chocolate everywhere!" "Dude! They had several thousand kinds of animals on this Ark. That's not chocolate!"
  8. Any chocolate? I’m assuming Noah and his family took some in the ark.
  9. If it has been removed, it would be wise to remove any screenshots or photos related to the program from this forum as well.
  10. Reaching out is hard. Literally, the act of reaching takes effort. It's easier to keep our arms at our side - to ourselves, but that is not what Jehovah wants from us. We are a family and we need to show concern for each other.
  11. Brother @Sheep have you recorded the video from the song theme “By faith”? Wasn’t in there anything regarding medical treatment at a hospital ?
  12. That segment has been moved to last but it’s still on
  13. The video of the keynote talk from the broadcast is available again in European Portuguese, but it has been shortened. The segment featuring two brothers who receive a video on their mobile phones—showing a well-known elder speaking negatively about the organization—has been removed.
  14. Hobbling bipeds prepare adventures repeatedly. R I Y X P
  15. Concept art is a visual form of development used to convey the design, mood, and direction of ideas for films, video games, animation, and comic books before production begins.
  16. Some good thoughts. That's part of the reason we have to protect our neutrality. The things we 'breath it', as-it-were, can have an impact on us before we realize it. In the times we live with the prevailing aromas of political turmoil, social issues and 'influencers' it can have an effect on us before we are aware of it.
  17. Machines can try, but they will never compare with the human concept.
  18. They did all this in the 90s: soil samples, drilling, etc. There's nothing there.
  19. Hmm...Will we ever get to know the reason? Or did they remove it temporarily just to make some editings and then re-upload it? "We will have to wait and see".
  20. Yes and who was the président of this broadcasting ? no it's a bad idea, but ... nothing is impossible also the worse... no, no it's a bad idea
  21. It just reminds me of the time of Brother Anthony.
  22. Yep, I have checked the website, and sure enough, it's not there anymore. Hopefully the faithful and discreet slave will make the broadcast available again at the right time.

    • 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.”

      Had a conversation with a coworker the other day, it started off talking about flat earth. I told them that flat earthers are weird but im aware that SOME of them get their reasoning from scriptures in the bible (i dont remember which ones) my friend said she respects the thinking and God but ‘the bible was written by man’ i told her if i told someone to write her a check, is that check null and void because someone else wrote the check and not myself? She said that was an understandable argument. She also had a friend that was a JW at one point (i told her that i was one after she mentioned she was a flat earther), shes not close to the friend anymore because she was too judgmental and harsh. 
       
      I also have a coworker that is an ex witness (not aggressive about it or an apostate) i’m wondering if Jehovah put me at this company for a reason. I know i have to do my best to be a good witness.

      Hi, my brothers, this is my second time here, looking forward to meeting special people who love Jehovah as I do.  I send my love to all of you from Puerto Rico, USA.  I want to comment that we must be very grateful to our God, Jehovah, because, as Jesus said, we have the privilege to hear and see what the people of the world can't.

      Having sinus surgery tomorrow! 
       
      It's the new RhinAer procedure.  They just numb things for the procedure...and hope it's not too painful even with the numbing agent.  Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.  Pray for me that it is as smooth & painless as it can be.

      Hi Alessandro, I am interested in how you setup the guest network to connect only to jw.org. I am testing at home and have an opnsense router setup. I would appreciate you help with this. You can post on this forum or send instructions to *** me via a Private Message ***. I live in WA USA and am assigned to internet security.
      Currently we are using Orbi wi-fi routers, no switch at present but I have one at home to test with.

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends
