Brother Jedele is not saying that the other sheep is God's children in the same sense that the anointed are God's children They are both God's children, just not in the same sense

Im not a super smart guy. 😅I had to google look up what "equivocation" means. I think I know what fallacy means, though its not a word I use often. Big words ! Big uns. However , I completely understood BlaqueCalalilly frustration. As I grew up in the truth thinking the same thing. Lol

Articles of copper iron silver and Gold were all valuables used in building the Temple, because of their beauty and durability.

Val Kilmer's lines were actual quotes of Dr. Holiday's which were gleaned from articles.

Thanks, Carlos... All of this took place a couple of months after I visited you in Spain. Sandra had decided to go home, though my original plan was for her to be involved in the adoptions too. And on to young Summer. Her inclusion in the adoptions initially was because she was so close to Ang and her father had left her mother years before. She also had little contact with her twin sister, and was by then living in the home of her carer and her family. In phone calls prior to that trip we became a lot closer and when I got there I was to meet her father's mother. The 2024 visit was in two parts of about a week each, one as I crossed the USA from West to East and the other as I returned. It was a busy time for us all, partly because I had to change the brakes on the van to comply with requirements to ship it to Australia. The girls had planned an elaborate welcoming party for me, I just had to be touched by this: Unfortunately Leslie had contracted Covid and couldn't come across from Oklahoma. What I didn't realise was that I was also suffering from the same, but it went untested for the moment. I overcame that in the loop of the trip that took me through Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia and on up to New Hampshire, across to Michigan and back to Arkansas. It was then that I did the work on the brakes Lorie had been added in as another adoptee at that welcoming lunch, where several other brothers and sisters joined us for a memorable afternoon. But it irked me that so far all of us had never been in the one place at the one time. Leslie, however, did drive over to join us for a lunch at the KFC at Springdale and finally we were all in the one place: Shelly put together a lovely souvenir book for me to take home, it was a truly beautiful gift and it reflected, I believe, the feelings of all of the girls. Her ability to craft the pages, adding in appropriate scriptures as she went, is something I cannot ever thank her enough for. This page... ...especially gets to me, while the photo of myself with Summer on this page... ...was to add a nice touch with the emergence of Summer as truly a part of the family. I will forever be grateful to Ang for - even if it was only jokingly - suggesting that I adopt her. While it's true that I can't overcome all the problems these girls face, at least I can feel I can add something to their lives and in a small way repay what they are adding to my life. When I arrived in Arkansas for my 2026 visit I first went to see Summer. I tried to phone her as I was getting there but she didn't answer, and when I arrived Meischa - her carer - was in the front yard and she indicated to me not to speak. I walked in and as I came into Summer's sight around the corner of the hallway the girl tried to stand and walk to me, she was just so excited to see me! I had presents for the girls that trip. We got together for lunch at an Applebees and I laid out a lot of Janet's jewellery for them to choose from... and I'd prepared a special gift for Shelly: Made from Australian Mulga wood, I thought it was appropriate because of the upsets she's tolerating in her life. Always she has a scriptural answer, all of these girls love Jehovah and they rely on Him much more than they do on me. I trust all will see why I find this to be so rewarding.

We have experienced the same thing. Most of the congregation has had to submit their time in NWP twice, for it to actually come through to NWS. I'm hoping this is just another one-time side effect from the update(s). Time will tell.

Holiday, John Henry was better known as 'Doc Holiday', American dentist, gambler, and gunfighter and close friend and associate of lawman Wyatt Earp, had earned a degree in dentistry from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery at the age of 20 and set up practice in Griffin, Georgia.

Second response to straps showing: Crocheting a collar could replace a jacket on hot days. Light weight thread or yarn available.

Barney Fife was Andy's cousin in early episodes of Mayberry.

Crashcup, (Clyde) invented a time machine that made people feel 5 minutes younger, which could easily be sold in holiday specials eleven months a year as only August has no recognized holiday.

Onomatopoeia makes comic books feel alive with every “bam” and “crash.”

Ludicrous may be used as a musical nomme, or just onomatopoeia.

Hi, after the update, the field service reports are not arriving; they are not syncing when the brothers report them through the app. any suggetions?

That's a nice clarification that we might see come through in due course. It reminds me of when we were 'reclassified' as domestics. It makes me feel acknowledged as being part of the family. I find it encouraging and heart warming. ❤️

I went to the Oreo website and a pop-up asked "Accept All Cookies?" I said "Absolutely" I wonder when they will arrive...

That was mentioned in our former belief of a "spiritual Courtyard of the Gentiles". Continuing from the transcript... 2.6. Courtyard of the Gentiles But the various chambers and courtyards do not all have a symbolic meaning. For example, in Herod’s temple, there was a courtyard of the Gentiles. In Solomon’s nor in Zerubbabel’s temples there was not such a courtyard. Anyone could enter the Court of Gentiles in Herod’s temple. The Watchtower of 2002, May 1, page 30, gives five reasons why there is not “a spiritual equivalent, or an antitype, of the Court of Gentiles that existed in Jesus’ day.” It said: “Not all features of Herod’s temple have an antitype in Jehovah’s great spiritual temple.” But as the heavenly elder said to John, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual Court of the Gentiles.” 2.10. Application of temple depends on context …we all are in the spiritual temple no matter what hope we entertain,

Hi Ray! It's nice to see you back.

How many times have I read that scripture! And missed the point. I think the clarification comes from moving away from types and antitypes. Not every detail in ancient Israel's worship has a modern counterpart. Looking forward to WT 26

Heartbreaking. But very beautiful.

Yes! And definitely a movie I know from the 80s. Add abuse of all kinds with neglect to that statement too.

Wednesday, May 6 Joy arises among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.—Luke 15:10. If a sinner repents, that is a cause for great joy! (Luke 15:7) Who deserves the credit? Do the elders? Recall what the apostle Paul wrote about sinners: “Perhaps God may give them repentance.” (2 Tim. 2:25) A study note on that verse comments: “The credit for such a change in thinking and attitude goes, not to any human, but to Jehovah, who helps the wayward Christian make this vital change. Paul goes on to mention some of the beautiful results of such repentance—it leads the sinner to a more accurate knowledge of the truth, it helps him come back to his proper senses, and it enables him to escape from Satan’s snares.—2Ti 2:26.” When a wrongdoer repents, the committee will arrange for shepherding visits so that the person can continue to receive the help he needs to fight against Satan’s snares and to make straight paths for his feet.—Heb. 12:12, 13. w24.08 23 ¶14-15

We have a brother in our area who is almost 93 and in Hospice. He may not last another week ... or even to the end of this week. I have known this brother for nearly 50 years. His daughters and mine are good friends. I visited with him today and he expressed his hope for the future and that we can't be mad at Jehovah because it is Satan and Adam that did this to us. His resolute faith while he is waiting on death prompted me to come up with this song: The Room is Quiet

Thanks for the song. I don't know how many others may look as your site is a paid site, but you never know.
