  1. Past hour
  2. Having a dog named "Shark" at the beach was a mistake.
  3. This is a little complicated but I would love to see a video of the United Nations General Assembly area and a giant hand appears and writes "The nations will know I am Jehovah" on the wall above the speaker..
  4. This may have been mentioned on this thread before. And maybe by myself--it's been a while. Anywho....have any of you read Clifford Simak's short stories and novellas? Closer to Star Trek themes than most I've read. I always look to collect his books wherever I find them: yard sales, thrift stores. I've even been known to (gasp!) buy them from Amazon. It's that good. It's Star Trek good.
  5. Thank you for making biblical events come to life. Do you have a video of Pharaoh's daughter finding baby Moses in the Nile?
  6. Everyone is welcome to share ideas! I'm still learning and trying to make these videos with my limited skills and resources. So feel free to share your suggestions and ideas...😊
  7. Today
  8. The annual meeting is over, but we still have a few more “eternal happiness” conventions left! Manila, Philippines — November 6–8 San Diego, USA — November 27–29 Bangkok, Thailand — December 11–13 on Dec 28 we should get the global service report. Then on February 27 we start the memorial campaign. around the end of April we will receive the new episodes of Good News series, because on May 7 is the first convention at Newburgh (not an international)
  9. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IfYOENFt83I&is=wuThINqRtNMaVarj Dermot Kennedy - Funeral (Official Lyric Video)
  10. but you can try just for the halibut..
  11. You can always tune a piano but you can never tuna fish.
  12. I'll also mention the increase of prices in regards to PC components, such as RAM sticks. This is what 64GB of DDR5 costs at my nearest Micro Center store
  13. Yesterday
  14. Thank you. Jehovah would have to be cruel to promise these wonderful things we hope for with no intention of fulfilling the promises. There are ⏲️ i feel impatient too. I know we all want the end of this system to come today.
  15. Or, you know, don't expose children to the livestream.
  16. If the average person works for fifty years for just $20,000 a year, they will earn a million dollars in their lifetime.
  17. Jehovah Stoops Down to Lift Us Up Tomorrow's daily text reminds us: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” At this summer's convention, a speaker made a beautiful observation about Psalm 55:22: “Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you.” Think about that for a moment. When you're carrying a burden so heavy that it's weighing you down, how far could you possibly throw it? You may barely have the strength to lift it. But that's the beauty of the illustration. Jehovah isn't standing somewhere in the distance, waiting for us to find the strength to throw our burdens to him. He's close enough to receive them. And that brings to mind another beautiful picture found in Psalm 113:6-8. The earlier New World Translation used the expression “He is condescending to look on heaven and earth.” The revised translation says, “He stoops down to look on heaven and earth.” Think of a loving father whose little child is sitting on the ground, crying. Does he simply stand there, looking down at the child? No. He bends down. He gets to the child's level. He looks into those tear-filled eyes. And he reaches out. Isn't that a beautiful way to think about Jehovah? The psalmist goes on to describe someone sitting in an ash heap. Imagine being so discouraged, so disappointed, so crushed by life's circumstances that you've sunk that low. But notice what Jehovah does. “He lifts up the poor from the ash heap.” And he doesn't stop there. He raises that person to sit among the nobles of his people. From sitting in ashes to sitting among nobles! What does that tell us about how Jehovah views those who are crushed in spirit? He doesn't expect us to somehow rise to his level before he will comfort us. In his great humility and love, he stoops down to ours. And when we're too weak to stand, he's willing to lift us up. So when tomorrow's text reminds us that Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted, perhaps we can picture that loving father bending down beside his distressed child. Jehovah isn't merely looking down at us in our distress. He stoops down to our level. He is that close to us, ready to comfort us and lift us up. What a privilege it is to have a God like him.
  18. Are you a millionaire yet? The average American will earn over a million in their lifetime.
  19. Wednesday, October 14 Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Ps. 34:18. Are you coping with emotional distress caused by disappointment or by betrayal from someone you trusted? Regardless of how a person has treated you, your heavenly Father loves you. When coping with betrayal, we can be comforted by David’s reassuring words found in today’s text. One reference work says that those “crushed in spirit” may refer to “those who have nothing good to look forward to.” How does Jehovah respond to those who feel that way because of bitter disappointment? Like a loving parent who holds and comforts a child in distress, Jehovah “is close to” us—ever compassionate and ready to help us if we feel crushed by betrayal or loss. He is eager to comfort and soothe our broken heart and pained spirit. And he gives us many things to look forward to that help us endure our present trials.—Isa. 65:17. w24.12 23 ¶13-14
  20. Experts urge parents to prepare kids for possible livestreamed execution https://apnews.com/article/execution-live-stream-livestream-children-trauma-elections-ab5723a0fc03316df402e6b8c342144f Decided to share this article since there's probably parents that use this site, I hope this results useful to them.
  21. Does that sound like the Jehovah you know? It doesn't sound like the Jehovah I know. This is not Jehovah's fault. It's the fault of impatient, imperfect, eager, tired, hurting people yearning for this system to end.
  22. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pope-leo-hospital-lung-nodule-surgery/?intcid=CNR-01-0623 Pope Leo has diagnosis and lung surgery, not known to be a smoker. The Shoes of a Fisherman book stated that each cardinal had an assigned fireman in case his cig smoking caught fire. My own Catholic mother died from cigarette lung cancer at age 60. Glad for all who have avoided dangerous habits.
  23. Sometimes we feel like kids on a road trip yelling "Are we there yet?" It can be frustrating, but Jehovah is driving, he will tell us when we get there. Just watch the scenery, we'll be there soon.
  24. Got some, dog food;she has been walked and watered.Weather is 71 and tonight will be in the 60s. Docusigned for debt $$$ to be sent to me. Glad my fuel seems to be able to carry thru. Sometimes I just sponge bath to save hot water, but will full shower tomorrow.
  25. I wonder if we are being fooled and this system never going to end. Seems like we grasping for anything to be it and the sun comes up and the sun goes down. Im getting tired of it. Either do it or don’t.

    • 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.”

      Our Kingdom Hall is hosting 3 weeks of Elders schools starting tomorrow. 
       
      We organised some of the kids to make a welcome banner. The bros who were prepping today loved it. 
       
      our sister Cong had these carts made 
       
      We also have these to put up 
       
      And every elder and instructor (hopefully) will also get a keyring at the last day of their school.

       
      Can you tell we’re all excited? Gonna be long days (we’ve got to arrive by 6:15am) but I’m sure at the end it’ll all be worth it!

      Does anyone have a list of the first 24 songs from the organization? I promise im not gonna memorize them and randomly sing them to a coworker to being her back to her childhood 😏. I think at one point the song numbers changed, she told me about how she used to have to play ‘we are Jehovah’s witnesses’  (song 63) on the piano but left the organization when there were 24 songs. 
       
      side note i got her to agree to go to the memorial next year but the exchange was id have to go to her church once. I feel that is a fair trade.

      Last Tuesday i finally got to meet the people at my new congregation, and they were pretty warm and welcoming to me. It reminded me of how great is the unity that exists in this wonderful brotherhood.

      My wife recently had major surgery and the hospital has a home care nurse check on her once a week. We have had three different nurses and my wife has given each of them a contact card. 😁

      Today was a lovely text, considering recent events. We need to remember that Jehovah is in control, not focus on the imperfections of any brothers who gave direction, and remember that in due time, if anything needs to be corrected, Jehovah will take care of it.
