  1. Today
  2. Real love keeps showing up. It keeps giving without keeping score. It hopes all things, not because people are perfect, but because Jehovah is. —1 Corinthians 13:7
  3. It's important to meet the student's needs, and if possible, study one chapter at a time. The videos can be used as homework; you don't need to watch them every time you study.
  4. I like the point about forming committees around 50 years ago. Can you imagine one brother over a department? There were a lot of problems back then having one brother over the department? We can see Jehovah and Jesus took care of this. I assuming there are committees in heaven like this too.
  5. When I try to schedule the Local Public Talks on NWS Mobile, only elders show up, no MS. Does anyone encounter the same issue?
  6. Thank you. I'm hoping to only have one of us use the mobile app until it's out of beta testing. Likely me as I'm the primary user. Just less lost/dirty data that way. I hope.
  7. Very interesting update on the way to do the Bible studies
  8. unless you know the new system you can't Patience it's up : https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/StudioNewsReports/docid-1112024048_1_VIDEO
  9. does that mean no one can watch videos before they are posted on the website?
  10. As JW.org has changed its code system, the horizon is not available anymore, afaik
  11. Polar bears living at Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago, are showing remarkable resilience to climate change and the loss of sea ice used for hunting. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/svalbard-polar-bears-showing-remarkable-160500436.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGr2C5NLVdm5HpfgNwliBzVclEN9NoWBCbKvFbZwmgd-WODk60uQYXGtMciIPZTxoVZ_zHBaDn0XVBvTClhBnhs9b-gqVvBVzSsxmt_CRK_mXnfxKc5KE83sbXBgQ5c3kulsO-tkz-oxkqN7tkwrANKk9YtdldYWp9EFqIS1mTyZ
  12. For its 100th birthday, the Schrödinger equation, which describes how the quantum world behaves, is getting a glow-up. Physicists now ask what happens when the observer is part of that quantum world. The Schrödinger equation, formulated by Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics that describes how the quantum state of a physical system evolves over time. As the equation approaches its 100th birthday, physicists are exploring its implications when the observer is part of the quantum world, raising questions about the nature of reality and the observer's role in the quantum state. This ongoing research reflects the ongoing relevance and significance of the Schrödinger equation in understanding quantum phenomena and its potential applications in various fields. https://www.news.uzh.ch/en/articles/news/2025/schroedingers-legacy.html
  13. A bright galaxy called MoM-z14, found using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, is the farthest yet detected, existing just 280 million years after the big bang. NASA Webb Pushes Boundaries of Observable Universe Closer to Big Bang - NASA Science
  14. So, Jason, you have under 300 people in your town, north of Sydney? Beauty, mate! : -)
  15. What a beautifully perceptive and wise understanding is shared here, David - thanks. We are so grateful that Jehovah doesn't punitively watch for our errors so as to pounce. He notices even the slightest turning towards him, and we feel his loving kindness and that peace that excels all thought.
  16. Thank you! I will post how how reading and studying helped me come up with my theme for the dinner party. I'll have to post under another topic so as not to take up space here. I'm so excited to share it.
  17. When I’m always OD on chocolate, I’m there. Where? I do not know, but I’m there.
  18. Please dont forget to share what you have learned in the Walk Courageously thread Leslie. We look forward to study that with the help of the Imitate your faith book. (Last week, a thought ran across my mind that Jonah didnt even recalled that Noah preached around 40 years and no one listened yet he only did for 40 days and everybody listened. And I said: Oh yeah, that makes sense 🙂) Enjoy your dinner party. 🌷
  19. A sister doing door to door started a study with my mom in 2003. We just immigrated to Canada and didn't speak much English. I didn't really understand the book but I felt the sisters' love and Jehovah's love. Later, the Bible teaches book came out and I studied that along with my book of Bible stories as a teenager 🤠 I finished studying the yellow Bible teach book, YPA books and was in the middle of God's love book when I decided to get baptized.

    • 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!!

      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!

      Hi Alexey, welcome to JWTalk!
      I see you’re from Ukraine—a place with a deep history and some beautiful scenery.
      If you’re in the mood to browse, the Photo Gallery (scenery shots are always a treat) is easy to enjoy, and some folks like the quiet reading without pressure to post.
      Thanks for joining us—looking forward to whatever you feel like sharing as you get settled.

      Hi Alice, welcome to JWTalk!
      São Paulo is such a lively place—I imagine there’s always something happening around you.
