  1. Past hour
  2. I agree with your comment. It is hard not to have disdain for this government though. We know what the ultimate result will be. We see it at its worst and, that being so.....the end is so ever near. Eventually, Jehovah's people will be affected one way or another and, Jehovah will bring a close to this system. Trying to figure out how this will unravel is not of concern to us. Unravel it will. Jehovah has the measurements and outcome of this system in his hands. We don't need to know the ends and outs. The focus is the Kingdom. Nothing else matters.
  3. Today
  4. Weekend Winter Storm About half the US population is in the path (w/map) of a winter storm, starting today in Texas and reaching the Northeast by Sunday. A potentially record-breaking cold snap is forecast to follow, with frigid temperatures lingering into next week for millions. Meteorologists warn damage could rival that of a hurricane, with heavy ice threatening power lines as people contend with subfreezing temperatures. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was among several governors to proactively declare emergencies yesterday; a Texas power grid failure during a 2021 winter storm caused over 200 deaths. Parts of Oklahoma could see over a foot of snow as the system brings ice and sleet to Jackson, Mississippi, which has no city-owned snowplows. Meanwhile, wind chills could plunge as low as minus 35 degrees in Chicago and Des Moines, Iowa, today, prompting school closures. A shift in the polar vortex, fueled by relatively warmer Arctic temperatures, is colliding with moisture from off California and the US' southern coast to create these severe conditions.
  5. I remember being in Darwin in '99 for a convention, and we went out witnessing with one of the midweek groups, and they knew we were not locals, as we were wearing ties to the group. When the brother mentioned that they don't wear ties when witnessing, I asked whether I could wear shorts (dressy ones) and he said we can. I said "I'll be back in a minute", when back to the car changed my long trousers and put on my shorts and went back in to the group.
  6. Yes, he always does. He never liquidates he only reorganizes. I worked for a law firm Schwartz, Tobia & Stanziale. We were one of 2 law firms he used for the bankruptcy of the Taj Mahal. I notarized his signatures in the oval office (thats what it was called) at our firm. We worked for 2 weeks including weekends. We were allowed to go home and cook for our families change our clothing into jeans and come back and worked till 2 a.m. Schwartz wrote a book praising him and then later regretted it. He moved out of the country. He saw who he really was. He asked his body guard to approach me and ask me if I would go to lunch with him in Europe he would fly me to and back on his private jet. I turned him down. He was not happy. One of my bosses got upset because I didn't accept his invitation. I told him "why don't you put on a skirt and you go with him"? I gave him a Mont Blanc pen that Trump gave me as a consolation. Like Really?
  7. Yes, one thought ➡️ power to UN ➡️ destruction of BTG ➡️ cry of P&S OR one thought ➡️ power to UN ➡️ cry of P&S ➡️ destruction of BTG Correct or I missed something?
  8. I think we only understand that fulfillment of prophecy after the nations give its power to the scarlet wild beast.
  9. A third carrier group USS Roosevelt is now positioned in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, right by Israel. https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2014338900584534307?s=20
  10. Ah... pretty good guess then. Thanks for working that out, Randall. I remember from childhood days walking to school in a day when it would top 80 degrees, and that was just beautiful.
  11. it was me talking in person to my friend who goes to that cong.
  12. This is how Jehovah got me out of my employer when inactive and I quit for neutrality. Got a nice payout for trusting in him than a lawyers I was offered.
  13. Ya people are becoming very disgusting and unimaginably hate-filled, to a degree I never would have imagined possible around me a decade ago
  14. Everyone close your eyes and try to visualize what you're looking at. This is a planetary nebula. The "ring" is actually a sphere of gas left behind as the star expanded and then collapsed on itself as it died. It looks like a ring simply because perspective has us looking through sphere so it is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges. It luminesces because of the ionization of those gasses from the remnants of the central star. Just...wow. I cannot WAIT to own a telescope in the new system.
  15. Okay . . Chapter 11 reorganization allows a business to restructure their debt while remaining open and keeping employees. Chapter 11 assumes the debtor is more valuable to the economy as an ongoing entity than shutting down. Creditors get to vote on the reorganization plan. For the court to sign-off, it must be convinced the plan is in the best interest of the creditors. It involves significant court oversight. A debtor is not permitted to file any chapter of bankruptcy if it can be proven they have been involved in criminal activity. Enjoy Life Forever ~ Lesson 56 , Endnote 7: There are some situations that may need to be settled legally: Bankruptcy. A Christian who uses the court to settle such matters as peacefully as he can is not violating the Bible's counsel.
  16. Agreed because he has bankrupt about 6-7 of his own businesses. His crypto is mostly a failure. His wealth is from his daddy that got him started. He's not self-made. He is not a Bezos.
  17. sorry, wrong thread. I'm such a bore
  18. According to Google - Donald Trump’s companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six times between 1991 and 2009
  19. I grew up on Polish pickles, nothing like them in my opinion 😂
  20. Yesterday
  21. My favorite would most likely be I usually put crushed red peppers on mine Coming in second may be something I make either in a cast iron skillet of air fryer ... chicken breast with potatoes and onions. The easy air fryer method for 1 person: Cut up one potato into medium sized cubes. Lightly oil and season with your preferred seasonings Put in air fryer set at 400º for 15 minutes. Shake basket a couple times during first 8 minutes While potatoes cook, cut up chicken breast into similar sized cubes (chicken can be semi-frozen) Lightly coat with oil and season with your preferred seasonings. When timer reaches 8 minutes, add chicken and shake slightly. Re-shake every two minutes When there is about 5 minutes left on air fryer, place desired amount and type of onion in microwave and cook on high setting. Onions don't fare well in an air fryer basket at 400º Serve in bowl or on plate with cooked onions.
  22. Didn't go bankrupt. Question: How does a flooring business get $1,000,000 in the bank? Answer:
  23. I made this a while ago and only once, but it tasted like how it did in Poland. It's probably better to use Polish pickles but I used normal British pickles cut up as well as a bunch of the pickle juice and sliced Mattesons original smoked pork sausage. I think I put some diced onions in it too. Also, you could put sour cream on top of it, but I don't think I did. It was so good and easy to make. Hopefully I'm telling you guys the right recipe here 😅 let me know if you make it

    • 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.”

      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!

You might enjoy browsing the Photo Gallery, especially the nature shots people share, and there’s also plenty of room here to just read quietly without any pressure to jump in right away.

      Hi Alter, welcome to JWTalk!
      It’s nice to have you here. I see you’re from the Lake Chapala area—beautiful place, and I imagine the scenery and weather don’t disappoint.
      You’ll find this is a friendly, encouraging forum. Many enjoy browsing the ongoing discussions or spending some quiet time in the photo gallery when they feel like reading rather than posting.
      One small note that may help: since the forum works in English, most brothers use translation software when posting. That usually makes things smoother and helps everyone follow along easily.
      Thanks for joining us, and we’re glad you’re here. Looking forward to getting to know you and seeing what you’d like to share.
