  2. LeslieDean started following What a scripture to recall when you want to keep calm
  3. LeslieDean
    James 1:19 "Be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath." A family therapist that worked with my husband and myself would use this foundation during our sessions. He would say there is a big difference between avoidance and communication. He wanted us to practice to 'mirror' what we heard from each other with the goal to continue talking in order to resolve the issue. Sometimes people calm down simply because they feel heard. Before offering a solution, try repeating back what you heard: "So you're feeling frustrated because...". I always wanted to talk things out and Rick always wanted to ignore the issue. Then he would say sometimes if you are not getting anywhere try To ask the other for a time out. Not to avoid the issue but since it is highly charged to time to regain composure. When I started to study years later I found this scripture. Proverbs 17:14 "Before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave." I had to realize this applied to me. I finally began to understand trying to find a peaceful resolution sometimes met.purring aside your insistence to feel heard. The subject isn't avoided; it's postponed until it can be handled better. Ease up Leslie you can't always get your way. Proverbs 12:18 "The tongue of the wise is a healing." Before speaking, ask: "Will these words help solve the problem, or simply express my frustration?" I look back now and wonder if that therapist was a JW in the making or just able to discern human teaching and pull this out of classroom teaching. Anyway I can see even if someone is not a follower of Jehovah as long as they follow Bible principal whether known or unknown they can have success.

    Saturday, June 20 Many of the Corinthians who heard began to believe and be baptized.—Acts 18:8. What helped the Corinthians to get baptized? (2 Cor. 10:4, 5) God’s Word and his powerful holy spirit helped them to make drastic changes in their life. (Heb. 4:12) Those in Corinth who accepted the good news about Christ were able to abandon such habits and practices as drunkenness, thievery, and homosexuality. (1 Cor. 6:9-11) Note that although some in Corinth had deeply entrenched habits to overcome, they did not conclude that it would be too difficult for them to become Christians. They put forth diligent effort to get on the cramped road leading to everlasting life. (Matt. 7:13, 14) Are you struggling to overcome a bad habit or a wrong practice in order to get baptized? Never give up the fight! Beg Jehovah for his holy spirit to help you to resist craving what is bad. w25.036 ¶15-17

    We all say things we shouldn't and we all want to restrain our tongue n out families, knowing overall it is the way that leads to peace, and sometimes you need to say something but want it to resolve the heat of a stressful conversation that pops up suddenly without warning. I know the obvious like "An answer when mild turns away rage" How can you put this into practice without the other person thinking you are avoiding the topic. And is there any other scriptures that are useful?

    How about a secular books section: encyclopedia, historical, scientific, and maybe audio for them. I would love to hear Will Durant's "The Story of Civilization". Or audio of Faith on the March.

    I thought some here might find this article of interest. The article reviews documented hate incidents against Jehovah’s Witnesses across Western Europe during 2025. It argues that violence rarely begins with violence itself. Rather, it often starts with intolerance, stereotypes, and efforts to portray a religious minority as dangerous or undesirable. The author traces this progression from intolerance to discrimination and, in some cases, to acts of vandalism, threats, assaults, and other hate-motivated incidents. Whether one agrees with every conclusion or not, the article raises an important question: What happens when negative labels and public ridicule become socially acceptable? The examples presented from a number of European countries provide a sobering look at how attitudes can influence behavior and why religious freedom deserves continued attention. When media spread intolerance, and authorities promote discrimination, violence is a logical consequence. https://bitterwinter.org/hate-crimes-against-the-jehovahs-witnesses-in-western-europe/

    Can you imagine if the GB did endorse a product, it would sell out. See brother Herd with a milk mustache, I mean I drink milk. Companies would tailor their products to our beliefs. "Until the new world comes trust Geico" I once had a coworkers husband ask me to find a contact at Bethel because he wanted to sell his companies yogurt. He told his wife how coveted contracts were with Bethel since it was so big and easy to work with. I dont live anywhere near Bethel but he knew all about them

    Considering that probably most of the people that go to JW.org are already JW, a tie salesman or a razor blade company would have done well a few years ago...

    do you have time to get a degree in physics before the tournament? I only played once and there were little kids running around the board, so I just aimed for them

    I have been trying to learn how to throw the bags, apparently it has to be thrown under hand. Several YT videos suggested spinning it like a Frisbee but that didn't work for me. I tried grabbing a corner of the bag and back spinning it vertically but that didn't work. The best method for me so far is throwing it like a bowling ball.

    Seems alot of this happens with cart witnessing. Hopefully the brothers are trained on how to deal with this. A few elderly sisters hurt, that is sooo sad. Its hard to recover at that age. horrible
  31. GeoRodRR
    most seem to throw underhand, you should change the game and throw it like a baseball pitcher. You'll probably get to go home early

      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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
