Ask when the first episode will be released 🙈

I posted that seat belt design many a year ago. First saw it in old South Hospital dialysis department in 2006 when took my daughter in law there., ( hospital was tore down years ago ). I have a copy I resurrect every once in awhile. Sad part is it is very accurate. Needed one like that back in 2015 when took mother in law to California "Don't listen to her {GPS}" she said. Didn't 🙉 hear GPS instructions to take 2nd cutoff out of 5 from one feeder. Grrrrrr. Took 3rd and took 10 minutes to get turned around on on proper route.

Good morning, dear brothers, for a few days a servant of my congregation has been having a problem with nw desktop, I also tried on my PC and nothing the same problem, I also looked at the guide on the site but nothing, in short, after installing the problem and selecting sharing, entering the correct credentials (I am an administrator) it connects but does not go beyond the first screen, the buttons on the left are gray, and if I close the program and reopen it, it makes me choose again what to do, whether to create a new congregation, a demo ..... I also deleted the program several times, and I also deleted his account as a publisher. Do you have any advice? a hug

Jehovah knows how to save people of godly devotion out of trial. 2peter2:9 We are at the last of the last days... Lets pray for one another.

80 degrees in February…. That’s Texas Winter for ya. 🙃

@bvr Found this tool a couple weeks ago and wow! It is really amazing, I have been looking for ever how to easily get the transcripts off the videos without having to do F12, getting the captions file and doing the work manually haha. And the RSS feed is also cool. Really love this tool! Quick question though, is there a way to request for an invitation to have access to the catalog? Or is it more private use? 🤔

We are in contact with a brother and his 12 year old daughter. This was from sunday morning: --------------------------------- We had changed our plans to leave Jalisco and spend our last two months in Cozumel. We would have been in a very awkward situation as we had to move residences anyway by the end of the month. We would have been in a pickle but Jehovah would have taken care of us. My daughter begged me to take her back to Cozumel and for some reason I said “ok let’s go” and originally planned to leave next week but for some reason I chose to leave a week earlier than planned. We missed it all by one day. Everything was calm when we left but Jalisco State is a mess. Roadblocks by the cartel throughout the state. The US State Dept named these hot zones: “The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City has instructed citizens in Jalisco State (including Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, and Guadalajara), Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo León to shelter in place until further notice.” Chapala is where we were and it was totally calm when we left. 6 states are affected but it has affected a number of neighbouring states as well. This is much bigger than the war in Sinaloa in recent times as Guadalajara is the 2nd biggest city in Mexico with about 10 million people in the greater area. That’s just one city so you can imagine how many of our brothers are being affected. It goes to show you how quickly things can change. Just last Thursday I started a Bible study in Guadalajara with a Mexican American guy named Isaac and we were walking free and safely in Guadalajara. Then just a few days later the entire city is on lockdown. Things in this system can change in an instant of time and we should never be complacent. ------------------------------------------- end of note.

Wind up the clock before it stops.

It’s in the 80’s here. No relief in sight. I hate it.

Umbrellas can be reversed by wind.

To the billions of other people out there, it's just another day 😉 Chill and enjoy your weekend!

Snow everywhere and more to come. Just got through a blizzard and some places had 30 inches of snow. More than enough.

In algebra, literal equations are linear.

Yes. To put things simply : Depression is past oriented. Anxiety is future oriented. Good thing Jehovah is present with us

I agree, it's like we were designed to comfort each other, and i think that will still be the case even when we're perfect.

Absolutely! Thanks for taking the time to share that!

Thanks, I just thought it was interesting enough to share, it's really helped me just shorten my expectations and appreciate being in the moment more, so to speak, because Jehovah is right there next to me.

Makes total sense, thanks for sharing!

I was going to add something like this to the quoted selection above actually: When I thought about it...the entire world "endures"...that's not unique to Jehovah's people. But with the world...they have to "endure" without any real hope...and in that regard..."endurance" for endurance's sake is empty and worthless...that's why so many people just commit suicide...they simply don't see any light at the end of the tunnel...and they just want it all to end.

I'm mostly used to rejection and abandonment. A fair amount of suffering. I'm a glass half empty kind of person as a result. I expect to be let down first. I'm used to pain and hurt. It's not that I have high expectation nor does it really hurt my feelings. I don't treat anyone weird or mean. I only really get comfort from Jehovah. I get comfort from my wife too. I get comfort from some friends in the truth but I struggle with that. Jehovah and my wife are literally the only two people and groups that haven't failed me. But ultimately, I endure trials because of Job, knowing I won't be tested or tempted beyond what I can bear. In my current trials, I always looked at how I could be better when others said I'm being too hard on myself or the situation. I just to find refinement even when I'm beat up so I can came back better. I see how Jehovah has allowed me to be in the blue part of the flame to remove some of the hardest engrained or entrenched ideas from my own trauma and childhood. When I'm crying I see it as someone being refined, changed, learning, etc. Every treasures, public talk, and every WT/CBS reading or Bible reading even in the worst pain, how is Jehovah refining me? Some CBS or WT readings I'm assigned I'm almost in tears like, Jehovah what did I do wrong? Help me understand. And it may not even be me. Could be something I need refinement on before I help someone else weeks later. Basically, when I'm a pulp and emotions are a mess is when I see my own comfort through refinement. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 becomes true because even through trials friends see joy over time. I don't know if it makes sense but... yeah. I'm weird.

That is very true, and very well put Lance. Thank you to everyone who has commented so far, it's nice to know I'm not alone in how I think and feel. And no, I'm not upset at all that you shared it...I'm just glad it could help him!!

I was thinking of how to add something..to my friends situation Pain can make us forget that surviving is its own kind of miracle..

Tim thank you for the courage of honesty.. I have been texting a dear friend of mine steadily for the last two days… trying to work through some of the same issues.. I find physical and assignment exhaustion is not a good mental space to make great decisions.. time to recalibrate. I hope you don’t mind but I shared your post with him .. he needed your perspective… That is what I love about this site .. words at the right time even right minute. Thanks my brother..

Jehovah could have governed the congregation through flawless angelic direction in visible ways. He did not. Jesus could have written a complete manual in His own hand. He did not. Instead, He entrusted responsibility to humans who depend on spirit, Scripture, and prayer. That choice forces us to see beyond personality and beyond weakness. It trains our vision. If we focus only on imperfection, we miss the gift. If we look for Christ’s hand behind the arrangement, we begin to see something deeper. A gift is not defined by flawless wrapping. It is defined by the giver’s intent. Let's not lose track. Jesus is the giver. The verse does not say the men are perfect. It says they are gifts. Seeing them that way requires maturity. It requires trust in Jesus’ present rulership, not just admiration for His past sacrifice. It calls us to cooperate, to pray for those taking the lead, and to look for evidence of Christ’s shepherding rather than human limitation. The real question is not whether the arrangement is flawless. The question is whether we recognize the generosity behind it. If Jesus is still giving, are we still receiving?
