  3. We missed most of the ice storm that affected the country last week, but the snow storm got us!. It's a high of 17F today with a low of 8F tonite. As of now, there's around 8 inches of snow here with more coming.
  4. I recently saw an upholstered chair in a dumpster, so I took the four screw-on legs from it. They appear to be a dense white wood that hopefully is easy to hand carve. I just haven't decided what to do with them.
  5. Today
  6. Hello. It has to do with the resolution of the UTM virtual machine. Try this: Close NWS and right click on the desktop. Does it let you choose a new screen resolution? If not, try to install the guest tools… https://getutm.app/downloads/utm-guest-tools-latest.iso This will let you dynamically change the resolution depending on window size.
  7. Or go direct as BitterWinter always gives me weird pop-ups https://www.cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/religion/history-religion/jehovahs-witnesses?format=HB&isbn=9781009509763
  8. I was having the same issue but it seems to have been resolved. I have a Samsung android device using Chrome to access WOL and I can see the entire caption on images now.
  9. Here is another article about the UN finances https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr579mdv4m7o
  10. There are times when you need to be the administrator to make things work.
  11. From the Cambridge University Press - seems to have been done by a couple in the truth. https://bitterwinter.org/a-new-book-on-the-jehovahs-witnesses-from-cambridge-university-press/
  12. One thing I think about sometimes, is that these world leaders such as Putin, Trump, even Kim Jong Un, won't pass away peacefully. I feel like if they know they are going to die, they will do something nuclear (pun intended??)
  13. Yes, I've noticed that a few times recently. I've had to go in on the admin side & delete the wrong entry.
  14. It wasn’t discussed in the video, but if we see the student making good progress don’t forget to invite them to the Hall😊
  15. Short answer first: no, you probably don’t need to factory-reset — and Carbonite will not recreate user accounts by itself. You can fix this cleanly with a bit of targeted cleanup. What likely happened: Your old laptop had two Windows user accounts: one Administrator one Standard (non-admin) — where most of your real files lived During setup of the new laptop, Windows’ transfer tool: only migrated the Administrator account ignored the other user profile Result: your new laptop looks “empty” because your files are still tied to the other username. This is annoying, but recoverable 👍 About Carbonite Carbonite: ✅ backs up files and folders ❌ does NOT restore Windows user accounts ❌ does NOT recreate permissions, profiles, or logins So when you restore from Carbonite: your documents will download but they’ll land inside whichever user account you’re logged into Windows will not magically rebuild the second user profile Do you need to factory-reset the new laptop? ❌ In most cases: No A reset would just: put you back at square one force another transfer risk repeating the same mistake There’s an easier, safer path. Best practical solution (recommended) Step 1: Decide which account you want long-term You have two sensible options: Option A (simplest): Keep the current account on the new laptop and make it your main one This is what most people do. Step 2: Restore your files from Carbonite Log into Carbonite on the new laptop Restore: Documents Pictures Desktop Downloads They’ll restore into: C:\Users\YourCurrentUsername\ That’s fine — Windows doesn’t care where the files came from. Step 3: (Optional but wise) Recreate folder structure If you want things to look familiar: Create folders named like the old account Or just merge everything into Documents/Pictures etc. Step 4: Remove extra or unwanted accounts (later) Once you’re confident everything is restored: Settings → Accounts → Other users Remove any account you don’t need ⚠️ Only do this after confirming all files are safely restored. When would a factory reset make sense? Only if all three are true: You want a perfectly clean start You’re comfortable re-installing programs manually You’re certain Carbonite has everything you need Even then, it’s optional — not required. Julsey, this is an AI response but seems to make sense. If you still aren't sure, wait for someone else to give a better response.
  16. I completely agree. In the past, when I felt like the end was coming "soon" I realize I didn't have anything concrete to point to that justified my feelings - I was just ready for the end. But now, I see so many legitimate reasons why it has to happen soon. I would actually be more shocked of the GT didn't start this year! I really, really hope this is it!
  17. No, I don't live in Broke, but it is close by. But that is the nearest location of the weather station is actually located.
  18. Why you ise umt? Ise fusion Pro its for free an much better :)
  19. Jehovah is the best Mathematician, He knows the trajectory of this wicked system of things.
  20. This system can be compare to a Candle. It was lit in 1914 and has been slowly burning, getting shorter and shorter until there is nothing left but a smouldering wick trying to stay alight. Just a flickering flame that will go at any minute. I heard that over 30 years ago.
  21. Government corruption in my country is getting worse . And people are dying because they cant afford proper health care, because its being corrupted by the government..... In this case, I dont think being patience is still a good idea. And death is too bad to continue. Imagine being ripped apart by loved ones because of death. Its just not right. I love that new podcast..
  22. De forma alguma, já vou respondendo em português kkkkk😊. Não faz isso não, viu? A gente deseja de coração que tudo se resolva logo, quem sabe em menos de cinco anos. Imaginar como seria o mundo daqui a 30 anos, com tantas maldades, guerras e coisas erradas… dá até um aperto no coração. Tenho muita fé de que Jeová vai agir logo. O mundo é mesmo uma grande bagunça, precisando tanto de mudanças e de coisas melhores para as pessoas.
  23. No one. From Br. Winder's talk "Manifest Godly Patience": "God is patient only as long as it is in harmony with justice, righteousness and wisdom. The fact that patience is exercised when a bad or provocative situation exists shows that it is meant to give opportunity for those involved in the bad situation to change, to straighten up. When matters come to a point where it is seen that there is no hope of such change , justice and righteousness would be violated if patience should continue. Then God acts in wisdom to remove the bad situation. His patience comes to an end."
  24. I wouldn't be surprised if great tribulation will start this year. Whether UN doesnt have or have money, I hate this system that runs by money. People go to war because of money(oil). People dont read their bible because of money. Too busy to make money.. there's no money by reading the bible or becoming spiritual.
  25. I was being clever, not literal. "Born again" christians start hot but cool rapidly. The UN's survival will be more of a death bed conversion.

    • 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!!

      GM,  it's Deborah.  Please send to me your email address.  I think Sr. Bonnie, from my old cong, made the CA transcripts and I will forward to you when I get your address.   I thought I had it but cannot find it.   Not sure if she sent into one email both the AM and PM or if she sent them separate.  But I will send to you can you can decide.  Hope you are well.  We are ok  here....just cold weather.  Agape.

      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!
