That would be incredible!

What do I think .. I think.😎 I’ve always appreciated how clearly the Scriptures describe the hope of the 144,000. Their home, identity, and assignment remain heavenly forever. But at the same time, Jehovah has always been able to bridge the gap between the heavenly and earthly families whenever he chooses. Nothing limits him. And whatever Jehovah arranges for eternity will leave no one, heavenly or earthly, feeling distant, deprived, or wishing for something different. I often think of how Adam spoke with Jehovah “in the breezy part of the day” (Gen. 3:8). That shows how close the heavenly and earthly families were meant to be. There’s also the precedent of angels visiting numerous Bible characters in fully human form ..Abraham, Lot, Gideon, Manoah, and others. Those were temporary materializations, not a return to human life, but they show that such interaction is completely within Jehovah’s power. And look at Jesus. Even though he is now at Jehovah’s right hand, he is deeply connected to this earth and to the people he loved …including close friends like John the Baptist. His affection didn’t disappear when he returned to heaven. So will the heavenly and earthly families be deeply connected forever? Absolutely …. more than we can ever imagine. We are one family. A scripture that really captures this is 1 Corinthians 15:28: “But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.” That’s the moment when the entire universe ..heaven and earth…. is perfectly united under Jehovah’s sovereignty. I can imagine a family reunion where every relationship is healed, every misunderstanding is gone, and every member feels completely connected, understood, and loved. Now magnify that to a cosmic universal scale. Mind blowing. As a side point, a close friend of mine Chris Tyler was of the anointed. She once told me that when the resurrection comes, she was going to ask Jehovah to be present when her daughter is raised. To me, that was a pretty good ask. .. it simply reflected the depth of love and connection that will always exist in Jehovah’s family. Just as Jehovah was involved with his sons resurrection .. a special time.

I wouldn’t be surprised, we are at already at record breaking wildfires worldwide this year comparing to any other year. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-area-burnt-by-wildfires-by-week?time=1..52&tab=line

Hello again friends, My name is David Michael Selent, and I’ve been one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for most of my life. I was baptized on October 20, 1989, and I currently attend the Jensen Beach Congregation in Florida. I’ve been married for 10 years to my beautiful wife, Gwen, and she’s been serving as a regular pioneer for the past 10 years. We’re both so grateful to be in the truth together, and we truly love Jehovah and the worldwide brotherhood. Besides serving Jehovah, one of my biggest passions has always been music. Over time, I started writing and performing my own original songs, and eventually I formed a group called the DMS BAND—“Great Sound. Better Message.” It’s made up of close friends and fellow believers who all share the same love for Jehovah and for music. What makes the group special is that we all bring something different—different talents, different voices, and different instruments. But what unites us is our desire to create music that is clean, wholesome, and spiritually upbuilding. We write music in a wide variety of styles—Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Pop, Reggae, Easy Listening—because I wanted there to be something that could reach everyone. The idea really came from noticing how so much music today has great sound, but the lyrics can be negative or even harmful. I wanted to create something different—music that still sounds modern and enjoyable, but with positive, encouraging, and faith-based messages. While our music is primarily created with Jehovah’s Witnesses in mind, it’s really for anyone who wants a break from the world’s music and would rather listen to something that builds them up instead of tearing them down. Another thing that’s very important to us is giving back. With every song download, half of the profits go to support the worldwide work, which means anyone who supports the music is also helping in that way. We were also able to donate one of our original songs to the branch for possible use in an original song and video, which was a real privilege for us. At the end of the day, our main goal is simple—to serve Jehovah, share His Kingdom message, and do whatever we can to help others come to know the truth. We truly hope that if you hear our music, it encourages you and brings you joy. And if you enjoy it, feel free to share it with others. Below is a preview video of my first song GOALS! (14 Version Album) This is our full 14-version album featuring fourteen completely different and unique interpretations of the same song. While the lyrics remain the same, each version has its own distinct style, beat, genre, lead vocals, and melody. We have a talented variety of Male & Female lead vocals and even a duet in this version In many ways, owning this complete 14-version album is like listening to a full album of 14 different songs, all built around one central theme. Be sure to listen to all of the versions so you can get a feel for each style and decide which ones you’d like to have. Moderator's note: Link has been removed since it points to a website where the music is for sale - not a free download. This GOALS! Album features a variety of genres such as Country, Pop, Rock, Indie, Soft Rock, Adult Contemporary, Acoustic Soul, and Soft Rock Ballads GOALS! (Full 14 Version Album) Preview

This. What a wild experience! 🤪🥰

Visit as "being transformed into a spirit to really be "there"" or just "visit in a vision like all the prophets" ? I think the vision thing could happen very quickly in the New World. But being changed into a spirit to go up there, woooahh... That would be nice

Scientists are saying we are getting a Super El Nino this year... summer will be hot

Hello everyone, Here’s something else I’ve been thinking about and wanted to get your thoughts on… After the 1,000-year reign is completed, do you think it would ever be possible, if Jehovah would allow it, for the 144,000 to return to the earth—if they wanted to? I know the Bible explains their role and hope very clearly, so I’m not questioning that at all. This is more just one of those “what if” thoughts when you think about the future and how long eternity really is. Once everything is fulfilled and complete, could there ever be a time where something like that might happen? Or will their role and place always remain strictly in heaven? It’s interesting to think about, especially when you consider how much we don’t know about what Jehovah may have in store beyond what’s been revealed. Just one of those thoughts that makes you reflect on how incredible the future will be. What do you think?

Sometimes we make mistakes, yes. Even when we try hard, something can go wrong. But we must remember — we are not walking alone. Jehovah sees everything, but He is not only watching to see us fail. He is watching to help us stand again. And Jesus is like an older brother who does not turn away when we feel ashamed. He stays there, speaking for us, supporting us. So when guilt feels heavy and you want to hide — that is the time to go closer, not run away.

Thanks so much Darren! I guess my mind just went blank. That big button is as plain as day!

Saturday, April 18 If anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper.—1 John 2:1. The most important decision that any person can make is the decision to dedicate himself to Jehovah and to become part of His family of worshippers. Jehovah desires everyone to do so. Why? He wants them to enjoy a friendship with him and to live forever. (Deut. 30:19, 20; Gal. 6:7, 8) However, Jehovah does not force anyone to serve him. He allows each individual to decide what he will do. What if a baptized Christian breaks God’s law, committing a serious sin? If he does not repent, he must be removed from the congregation. (1 Cor. 5:13) Yet, even then, Jehovah fervently hopes that the wrongdoer will return to Him. In fact, that is an important reason why he provided the ransom—to make forgiveness possible for repentant sinners. Our loving God warmly appeals to wrongdoers, urging them to repent.—Zech. 1:3; Rom. 2:4; Jas. 4:8. w24.08 14 ¶1-2

What if Jehovah showed it to you in a vision? I hope that Jesus, the 144,000 and angels are allowed to come to earth and visit...

Of course I would want It can if Jehovah wills it

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/nearly-70-georgia-now-extreme-drought-conditions/6VY5NKQVAFEOBBPPZ4VNK5WMQ4/ 70% of the state I live in is now experiencing severe drought. There also have been several proposed data centers to be built in various cities in Georgia. However, the state apparently does not have the means or resources to handle these data centers. I wonder if we will start seeing wildfires similar to those in California.

Our physical bodies can’t endure spiritual world. Plus, I can’t miss a day without my chocolate too.

In the support docs it says that if a person is deceased you should select their name and in the Information tab click the Delete button. When I select a person there is no Delete button anywhere on the Information page or in any of the other tabs. I thought it used to be down at the bottom on the right side along with the Moved button. The docs say you can also click the Moved box but I think that leaves all of the persons data in NWS. Any suggestions?

This might sound like a random thought, but I’ve been thinking about it… Way down the road in the new system—like millions of years from now—do you think it would ever be possible for humans to visit heaven? Not to stay there, but just for a short time… like a “day trip,” just to experience it. I know the Bible explains the different hopes for heaven and earth, so I’m not talking about changing that. I’m just thinking in terms of… what might be possible over time. Jehovah can do anything. And when you really think about it—we’ll have forever ahead of us. The universe is massive, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what Jehovah has created. It just makes me wonder… would there ever come a time where something like that could happen? Just to see heaven, meet the angels, maybe even meet Jesus in person… just as an experience. Or is that something that will always remain completely separate? I don’t know… just one of those thoughts that make you think about how big Jehovah’s creation really is. But if it were possible and Jehovah would allow it… would you want to go?

I had a wonderful day in phone witnessing today. Not personally, but by listening to other callers

🙉🙉🙉 Why do TV stations hire people, with terribly annoying voices, to present the News, Sports and Weather?😩😩😩🙉🙉🙉 Better yet, why do people with grating voices even go into broadcasting in the first place?🙈 It's like someone, who couldn't carry a tune in a basket, wanting to become a professional singer.🙉😩😩😩 Record companies would go out of business if they signed tone deaf singers. Just a random rant because it pains my ears to listen to the local news.🙉😩😂

I had actually never thought of that but you're absolutely correct. Great point.
