  4. The use has probably to do with cycles en recycle in nature, albeit very slow / long ones in this case. Just like many other aspects of creation comes in cycles (co2 o2 photsynthesis, rain snow and evaporation etc), land itself also emerges and submerges. In the long run it helps the surface of the earth stay fertile etc
  5. It depends on how old but go to the Appstore if you have Apple or Google play it you have Android. Look for the nw scheduler and you should be able to update.
  6. Over life I've always loved reading and writing poetry. My first love was Marmion by Sir Walter Scott. "O, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!" When people use the quote I ask, do you know where that came from. I was sent this from a friend, author unknown. JEHOVAH KNOWS HE KNOWS YOU'RE TIRED OF BEING STRONG, YOU'VE FOUGHT THIS BATTLE FOR SO LONG. HE KNOWS THE STRUGGLE YOU FACE EACH DAY, FOR A QUIET MIND YOU OFTEN PRAY. HE KNOWS THE THINGS YOU TRY TO DO, THAT COME EASY FOR MANY BUT SO HARD FOR YOU. HE KNOWS THERE ARE DAYS YOU CAN'T SEE, THE FOREST BECAUSE OF THAT ONE TREE. HE KNOWS YOU LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT, WONDERING IF YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT. HE KNOWS THE EFFORT IT TAKES FOR YOU TO FACE YOUR FEARS AND KEEP PUSHING THROUGH. HE KNOWS YOU CARRY A HEAVY LOAD, YET STILL YOU'RE ON THAT NARROW ROAD. HE KNOWS THE FRIENDS DON'T ALWAYS SEE THE PERSON JEHOVAH KNOWS YOU TO BE. YOU KNOW THAT SOON HE'LL MAKE THINGS RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL THERE IS LIGHT. YOU KNOW THE BLESSINGS HE HAS IN STORE THE TIME WHEN ANXIETY WILL BE NO MORE. YOU KNOW THE SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE SO DON'T GIVE UP, YOU'RE ALMOST THERE. REMEMBER IT IS YOU HE CHOSE, REMEMBER THAT JEHOVAH KNOWS. I'd post what I have written but I've already taken enough of your time.
  7. After the Mass Shooting: Jehovah’s Witnesses Renovate Their Kingdom Hall https://www.zeit.de/news/2025-12/23/nach-amoklauf-zeugen-jehovas-renovieren-ihr-gemeindezentrum
  8. My brother and sister-in-law go to the English congregation in this hall. The building is completely remodelled. The cngregation which were attacked by the gunman now meet in a different hall, as the memories are too much for those surviving brothers and sisters.
  9. https://www.zeit.de/news/2026-06/19/nach-amoklauf-bei-zeugen-jehovas-stille-wiedereroeffnung https://www.sat1regional.de/artikel/nach-amoklauf-bei-zeugen-jehovas-stille-wiedereroeffnung Sorry, I couldn't find any articles in English, but I believe Google doesn't just translate French, n'est-ce pas Eric😊?
  10. Yesterday
  11. You may recall this horrific news story three years ago. The sounds of the shots we imagine still echo in our minds, as we keep mulling over the question in our heads: How much longer, O Jehovah? How much longer? That topic is closed now and won't allow any more posts. So I will continue it here. A brother whom I know sent me the following information about what is happening now in the Kingdom Hall, a little more than three years after the tragedy. He wrote it all in French, but since his email is lengthy and I didn't want to translate it myself, I asked GoogleTranslate to do the honours. It doesn't appear to be taken from an article that I could find, and so contains no links. Other articles appearing in newspapers report another recent shooting in Germany; nothing to do with us. However, I was unable to find any others specifically about this Kingdom Hall. But considering how long I have known the brother who sent this to me (about 25 years), I trust him.
  12. Sunday, July 12 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovah.”—Rom. 12:19. When the apostle Paul urged Christians to “yield place to the wrath,” whose wrath was he referring to? According to the context, it is Jehovah’s wrath. We yield place to Jehovah’s wrath by letting him bring about justice in his own time and in his own way. After a brother named John was treated unfairly, he said: “I had to fight the urge to pursue righting the wrong in my own way. Romans 12:19 helped me to wait on Jehovah.” We benefit when we wait on Jehovah to correct a matter. If we do so, we will be spared the burden and frustration of trying to solve the problem ourselves. Jehovah offers to help us. He says, as it were, ‘Leave the injustice to me; I will take care of things.’ If we accept Jehovah’s promise “I will repay,” we can let the matter go, confident that he will handle it in the best possible way. w24.11 6 ¶14-15
  13. We actually applied for this for November. And we have a few friends who attended St John's Newfoundland last weekend.
  14. You will be in my prayers bro and sis in Ukraine. The whole world is affected by the inflation because of war
  15. May Jehovah continue to be with you brothers. It is hard for us to see this war and know how this is affecting our brothers not only in Ukraine but, in other parts of the world as well. We long for Jehovah to put an end to this. Enjoy your convention.
  16. This song is so moving, so beautiful! It makes you wish you’d never have to sing it. If only Adam had felt that deep in his heart... I wonder what Jehovah would have done.
  17. Still Looking Toward Your Light. https://jwtalk.net/topic/63465-david-deguzman-will-they-be-impressed-gilead-talk/?do=findComment&comment=1103614 [Verse 1]: One moment looked like light, I let it in, And lost myself before I saw the sin. Beauty spoke louder than what I knew was right, And I disappeared inside that hidden night. I wore the silence like a second skin, While something broke in me beneath my sin. I came back home, but I was not the same, Only falling tears could call Your name. [Chorus]: Jehovah, Father, You still know my heart, Even when my world has come apart. I don’t deserve to call You mine, But Your mercy still calls out, “You’re still Mine.” I lift my eyes through all my shame, And You still whisper my name. Hold my weary heart once more, And lead me back to Your door. [Verse 2]: Years went by but the wound stayed awake, Every breath still carried my mistake. I wore a smile that no one could see through, But nothing I built could ever hide from You. The silence followed everywhere I went, A shadow that I never could resent. So I stepped out from the shadow I made, And let the truth be finally displayed. [Chorus]: Jehovah, Father, You still know my heart, Even when my world has come apart. I don’t deserve to call You mine, But Your mercy still calls out, “You’re still Mine.” I lift my eyes through all my shame, And You still whisper my name. Hold my weary heart once more, And lead me back to Your door. [Verse 3]: Now I walk with a heavier soul, Still learning how to let it go and be whole. Memories rise like waves in the night, Pulling me back from the edge of light. I cannot change what lies behind, But I still reach for peace of mind. If all I have is one more prayer, I trust You’ll meet me there. [Chorus]: Jehovah, Father, You still know my heart, Even when my world has come apart. I don’t deserve to call You mine, But Your mercy still calls out, “You’re still Mine.” I lift my eyes through all my shame, And You still whisper my name. Hold my weary heart once more, And lead me back to Your door. [Bridge]: I know You are not far away, But my heart forgets each day. If forgiveness has already been shown, Why does my heart still feel alone? Still deeper than the pain I know, Your mercy continues to grow. Teach me to believe what is true, That I am still held by You. [Final Chorus]: Jehovah, Father, You are my song, Even when I feel so wrong. Your faithful love has carried me, Far beyond what I can see. I lay my tears before Your side, And You will never turn aside. Until the day my heart is whole, Your love remains the breath of my soul.

    • 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.”

      Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.
       
      If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?
