Saturday, February 7 O Jehovah, who may be a guest in your tent?—Ps. 15:1. For some time, God’s friendship was limited to those living in the spirit realm, where he dwells. Later, he extended his tent to include humans on earth. In time, among those favored ones were Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Job. Those true worshippers were described as God’s friends, or ones who walked “with the true God.” (Gen. 5:24;6:9; Job 29:4; Isa. 41:8) Throughout the centuries, Jehovah continued to invite his friends to be his guests. (Ezek. 37:26, 27) For example, from Ezekiel’s prophecy we learn that God truly wants his loyal worshippers to have a warm relationship with him. He promises to make “a covenant of peace with them.” That prophecy points to a time when those who have a heavenly hope and those who have an earthly hope will be united under his figurative tent as “one flock.” (John 10:16) That time is now! w24.062 ¶2, 4; 3 ¶5 -

That is probably the right assumption. If he did not SEND nor close normally, the changes were probably lost. So all the data files would be just as they were before he started. -
This clock is irrelevant in Jehovah's timetable, even if it's referenced in jw.org. It was only created by someone who has absolutely no idea of the real deal ahead. So don't base any assumptions off this 'doomsday' clock. I personally would not even mention it even in convos. -
Sorry to be updating this so late, but I love this series. It's some of the most powerful television I've ever watched.

Sadly, my eyes and brain and my neck dont like to read so I stick to our study material for our meetings ... but I do like the idea of reading although I have never really been fond of fiction and have found too often the choices had subject matter troubling my conscience - same reason I find so many movies no longer work for me. This past year I have bought several books to support our brothers and put my name in the front along with the congregation name and have lent them out with the invitation to share - even mark up and or highlight and then to pass them on... for them not to sit on a shelf! Hubby came home from the meeting on Wednesday and shared that one set is now on with its 5th reader and circulating through other congregations. I have heard some have devoured a book in a couple days. So thank you Tom and Thomas!!! 🙂 The books that I have currently circulating: Now on Earth - Thomas Walker Set Free - Thomas Walker Just See Yourself - Thomas Walker Released - Thomas Walker The Undecided - Thomas Walker The Workman's Theodicy: Why Bad Things Happen - Tom Harley I Dont Know Why We Persecute Jehovah's Witnesses - Tom Harley These ones are a more difficult read only because of the evil of war, so not a bedtime read: Unfettered Joy - Hermine Schmidt Death Always Came on Mondays - Horst Schmidt Faith on the March - Alexander Hugh Macmillan No Greater Love - How My Family Survived the Genocide in Rwanda - Tharcisse Seminega I have some books by EK Jonathan in my cart on Amazon to make part of my sharing library and was hoping maybe someone here has read and perhaps recommend which ones to start with?

They'll probably forget all about the clock when Armageddon comes, but I think we should move it to 12:01 right after. -
Weekend Trip to St. Simon’s Island It’s summer and everyone, it seems, is headed to the beach. Make your reservations at Ocean Inn & Suites, where you’ll be about half a block from the beach. Pack plenty of sunscreen, a towel, and a calm attitude. You’ll also be close to the pier, the lighthouse, and all the tourist-y areas they encompass. Massengale Park also has a nice beach. If you do choose to climb the lighthouse, there is a combination ticket you can buy for the WWII Homefront Museum. You can also tour Fort Frederica. The Avenue of the Oaks makes for a beautiful photo setting. If you don’t want to drive much (and who does, on vacation?), you can rent bikes and ride all over the island. There’s even a trolley tour of the island. For meals, check out Southern Soul BBQ and Frosty’s Griddle & Shake. Also check out Barbara Jean’s. East Beach (Coast Guard station) has a concession stand. Look for the carts from Sunset Slush when on the beach. Brogen’s (by the pier) is also good. Mullet Bay is a good seaford choice with plenty of outdoor seating. (Some of the menu selections at Barbara Jean’s) Jekyll Island is nearby with beautiful large pieces of driftwood that make for a magical photo op. On your way back home, stop in Brunswick at Silver Bluff Brewery for beers before heading to Reid’s Apothecary for a good meal.

Rising ocean temps also lead to coral bleaching, which often leads to the death of reef systems. If you haven't seen it, the documentary "Chasing Coral" (I think it's on Netflix still) is very good about explaining this phenomenon.

Hi Brothers. Our overseer for duties has made some changes to the schedule today. Before he could send the updates out to NWP, NWS unexpectedly closed. Now he has gone back in to NWS, the updates aren't there to be sent anymore. One of the schedule changes was for himself, and he has not received a notification on his phone. So assume that none of the brothers affected have had a notification either. Is there a way of checking what's happened? And pushing those notifications again? -
I thought it was interesting that Paul stated we should not be like children, but Jesus indicated that only one who was like a young child (teachable) would enter into the kingdom. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers notes this about Ephesians 4:14: Here the process of growth is described negatively; in the next verse positively. We are to be no more children. The word used here and in 1Corinthians 3:1; 1Corinthians 13:11; Galatians 4:1; Galatians 4:3; Hebrews 5:13 (often rendered "babes"), is a word almost always applied in a bad sense, like our word "childish"--not to the guilelessness, the trustfulness, or the humility of children, which our Lord emphatically blessed (Matthew 18:2-4), but to their unforeseeing and unthinking impulsiveness.

Thanks, Justinah, for the timely reminder of the use of the audio option to expand on the pictures. -
The Doomsday Clock in 1953 was set at 2 minutes to midnight. Today, it is set at 1 minute and 25 seconds (85 seconds) to midnight. From 1953 to 2026, the clock moved 35 seconds in 73 years. At this rate, to move the remaining 85 seconds, it would take about 177 more years. That would place midnight around the year 2203. Thanks. -

But we know that is pure propaganda. Can't tell they were brutes by their fossils. It's the shrink wrap technique in a different form. https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/tetrapod-zoology/dinosaurs-and-the-anti-shrink-wrapping-revolution/ -
Courage in Trials — a Scriptural Consideration —
Dolce vita commented on dljbsp's blog entry in Scriptural Consideration
I have thought a lot about Jehovah's invitation, “do not be afraid,” often repeated to his people in ancient times. Jesus also used this expression and its derivatives on numerous occasions. This is not just a simple slogan that is easy to offer in conversation when someone expresses suffering and asks for a comforting, encouraging response. It is not a denial of the reality that the person is going through. It is simply a highlighting of Genesis 3:15. Fear has become instinctive and primal since that day. We must all face it with faith. Jehovah and Jesus always strive to shift the center of gravity of our fears and breakdowns (betraying, denying, not holding on until the end, being so tired of everything...). The idea is therefore to reorient courage, not to anesthetize it in order to wake it up later. Courage and faith go hand in hand. They must not sleep, they have to walk. We are at war, the fighting on the front lines is exhausting, and sometimes we just want the hostilities to stop. We would like to lay our heads on a pillow, close our eyes, and drift off into a sweet dream. So it really takes courage to fight against sleep and stay awake until the end. Thank you David for this topic.

Post in 1975 End of World ?
jwhess posted a post in a topic,
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. 🧏♀️· 2 replies

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.· 2 replies

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.· 0 replies
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!
